Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

Gu Luoling slept until nine o'clock the next morning, and she was completely refreshed. After eating the breakfast prepared by her brother, she was full of energy and regained her usual youthful vitality.

The things here were almost settled, and she felt a little uneasy after what happened. She called her assistant to handle the remaining matters, and then the brother and sister drove back to City A.

The Gu family mansion is located in the suburbs. Usually, only Qi's father, Gu's mother and the original owner live there. Gu Luoling moved out and lived in an apartment near the company a few years ago for the convenience of commuting.

But now she has been targeted by someone. Living alone outside, not to mention Yang Yan, even she herself is worried, so she decided to move back for a while and make arrangements after the matter is settled.

As a younger brother, Yang Yan took the trouble to accompany her back to the apartment to pack her things, and then sent her back to the Gu family mansion with her gifts.

Gu's mother had just finished yoga and was startled to see them. She hurriedly came up to them and asked, "What's going on? Lingling, why did you come here suddenly and bring so many things? Ayan, didn't you go out to play with Lizai and the others? Why did you come back so soon?"

The siblings had already made up their statements on the way. Gu Luoling took her arm affectionately and said, "Mom, I just missed you. I came back to live for a while. Of course, I have to ask my brother to help with the heavy work of moving."

The servants at home had already carried her bags upstairs. Yang Yan also brought a box in. Hearing this, he said helplessly, "I just drank and sang karaoke with Lizai and the others. I knew it would be late, so I booked a room in the hotel to sleep. Why do you say that I went away for a long time?"

"Why don't you explain it clearly yourself," Gu's mother glared at him, "I thought you were going on an adventure like before, but you were just playing in the city?"

She is already in her fifties, but because she doesn't have to worry about life and she takes good care of herself, she looks like a person in her thirties. She looks a bit willful and willful like a girl when she glares at him.

Yang Yan quickly raised his hands in surrender and made a zipper gesture on his mouth to show that he had said the wrong thing.

Then Gu Mu let him go and took her daughter's hand and the mother and daughter talked affectionately.

She was well protected by her father and has maintained a simple character for so many years. Although she is a mother in name, she is actually more like the elder sister of their siblings, and sometimes even a little like a little sister.

So the relationship between mother and daughter and mother and son has always been very good. The original owner didn't want her mother to be hurt, but in fact that was impossible. Deception had existed many years ago, and the truth would come out sooner or later.

Moreover, Yang Yan was unwilling to conceal the dirty things that Qi's father had done. The man had obviously abandoned his girlfriend and children for a rich life and was willing to marry into the Yue family.

After enjoying a good life for nearly thirty years, he began to miss the beauty of his first love when he was old. He resented the Yue family for bullying others and not allowing their children to take his surname. He wanted to use the Yue family's things to compensate the illegitimate child with the surname Qi.

Yang Yan looked down on everything he did. It must be said that there was only one thing that Qi Huarong did that made people feel happy. People like this should get the same fate as in the novel.

Thinking about how to minimize the damage, Yang Yan saw the father of this small world, Qi Yuxuan, in person at night.

He was a few years older than Gu Mu. Although he was not born well, he looked much younger than his actual age after years of pampering. He was tall and thin.

Perhaps because he has been dealing with books for a long time, he has a refined and elegant literary taste. He looks decent and no one can tell that he has done so many inhuman things behind his back.

"Lingling is back?" Seeing his daughter, Qi's father also showed a little surprise on his face, "Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could come back earlier?"

"I plan to stay for a few more days, so there is no need to disturb you and delay your business." When Gu Luoling saw him, she couldn't help but think of the threatening letter, and her expression was slightly unnatural.

But neither of her parents noticed it, only Yang Yan noticed it.

"Where do I have any business?" Qi's father laughed, "You know, it doesn't matter whether I am here or not for the bookstore I opened."

He said and gently hugged Gu's mother. The relationship between the couple has remained the same for decades, and they don't hide it even in front of their children, always being affectionate.

Gu Luoling has often seen them like this since she was old enough to understand. She should have gotten used to it, but today she always felt a little unnatural. Her father's behavior always made her feel that he was acting.

It's really crazy!

She scratched her hair and forced herself not to make random guesses. After all, she had already commissioned a private detective to investigate, and it would not take long for the results to come out.

Before that, she should relax and act like usual. Don't let the person who secretly wants to harm her not be caught yet, but make herself a lunatic first!

After such a self-psychological relief, Gu Luoling really felt much more natural. The family had a relaxing and happy dinner as usual, and then sat in the living room to chat, and suddenly talked about her lifelong event.

"Lingling, you and Zhengyi have been engaged for almost two years. Have you considered when to get married?" Qi's father suddenly asked.

Gu Luoling's fiancé Zhang Zhengyi's family is also in business. The Zhang family is not as powerful as the Gu family, but they are very concerned about their children's education. Zhang Zhengyi studied in a first-class university and went overseas to get gold plating. He has good looks, talent and knowledge. Take action.

More than two years ago, they were introduced to each other and they liked each other. It didn't take long for them to get engaged and held a grand engagement banquet. At that time, all the major media in City A reported it, which can be said to be a sensation.

"Maybe next year?" Gu Luoling flipped up her long hair and said nonchalantly, "He and I have been busy recently and have no time to talk about this matter."

"How come you, a girl, are so careless about your own marriage?" Qi's father said with some disapproval, "You know how to work all day long. Of course, I really shouldn't listen to dad and let you learn how to do business according to your temper. ”

He has occasionally made such remarks over the years. Gu Luoling thought he was worried about himself and did not take it seriously. He casually replied: "If I don't learn from it, who will take care of such a big company like ours?" ?”

Shu didn’t know that what Qi’s father said was all from the bottom of his heart. In his opinion, girls should be like Gu’s mother, doing yoga to get in shape every day, going shopping, getting beauty treatments, and dressing up beautifully to tie up men. My heart will be fine.

When he was a child, Grandpa Gu discovered his eldest daughter's talent in business and planned to focus on cultivating her. Qi's father refused in his heart, but he understood his position in the family, so he did not dare to speak his mind.

Now that Grandpa Gu has passed away, this idea has sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, so he replied without thinking: "Isn't there your brother? The company's affairs should be left to men. "

There was silence in the air for a moment, Gu Luoling looked at his father in surprise, and even Gu's mother looked at him with some confusion.

Unlike Qi's father who brought patriarchal ideas from home, Gu's mother was the apple of his father's eye. If she hadn't really had no interest in doing business, Grandpa Gu would not have passed her over and handed the company over to his granddaughter.

She believed from the bottom of her heart that men and women were equal, and she treated her children equally, allowing them to live their own lives as they pleased.

She always thought that her husband was just like her, and she never thought that she would hear such macho words from his mouth.

Father Qi was extremely uncomfortable being looked at by his wife and daughter. Only then did he realize his gaffe and quickly said: "I mean girls should be pampered. Seeing that Lingling is too busy all day long, I am a father." It hurts so much!”

"Boys are rough-skinned, and they should take on the responsibility of running the company and making money to support the family. A-Yan plays around all day long, and puts all the responsibility on her sister. It's a bit outrageous."

The mother and daughter did not doubt his words, and their expressions immediately softened. Gu Luoling smiled and said, "Dad, where did you hear these words? Why do girls need to be pampered? It's all nonsense said by those people."

"In modern society, both men and women are the same. They can do whatever they like. I like management and I don't feel tired at all when I am busy with the company. A Yan loves traveling and exploring. If you restrain him, be careful. I'm making trouble with you!"

"Yes, Dad!" Yang Yan also protested, "I don't like doing business at all. I get a headache when I see those data. Why do you have to push me into the fire pit?"

Seeing Qi's father's expression of embarrassment, he stabbed him directly in the heart without hesitation: "Besides, you are also a man. You are not guarding a shabby bookstore that makes no money all day long. I have never seen you making money to support your family!"

Qi's father was really hurt. His expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and said angrily: "So this is how you feel about me as a father?"

He was so angry that his thin body was shaking a little. He was trying so hard to get his son to take over the company, wasn't it all for his own good?

But not only did he not appreciate it at all, but he also mocked himself, thinking to himself that this son's surname was Gu, and indeed he was not of the same mind.

So his Huarong is better!

Of course, he failed his mother, causing them to live alone and helpless for so many years, causing him to be bullied and looked down upon since he was a child. But when he saw himself, he had no resentment, only Rumu.

Moreover, he is smart and motivated. He was admitted to a first-class university despite such difficult conditions, and even entered a management position in a large company based on his own ability.

Compared with him, Gu Yangyan was thrown out several blocks. It was a pity that he didn't dare to let people know about such a good son. It would be nice if his identity was changed from that of his second son.

Father Qi's face was livid with anger, and Mother Gu was also a little angry. She stretched out her hand and pinched her son's arm, scolding: "A-Yan, how can you talk to your father like this? Why don't you apologize quickly!"

"I'm sorry, Dad," Yang Yan apologized obediently, but what he said immediately after was even more irritating, "I shouldn't have told the truth. Good advice always hurts the ears. I understand, and I will never do it again."

After saying that, he also made a gesture of zipping up his mouth to shut up. He looked so well-behaved and well-behaved like that.

"You—" Qi's father pointed a finger at him. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, he snorted heavily and walked away.

"Husband--" Gu's mother called him but did not stop him. She turned around and glared at her son fiercely.

Although her lover didn't seem to care about the difference in life experience between the two, she knew very well what a proud and arrogant person he was. She had been carefully protecting his self-esteem over the years, but she didn't expect that he would be poked by her son today. Broken.

Gu's mother was really mad at her son. For the first time, she thought about whether she was too indulgent in educating her children. Even her own father said this to her. Don't become a devil.

But now is obviously not the time to educate her son. She cursed softly, "Stinky boy, I will teach you a lesson when I come back!" Then she hurried upstairs.

The fighting power of this generation of fathers is not good!

Yang Yan regretfully retracted his gaze, and when he turned back, he met his sister's scrutinizing eyes. He was slightly startled: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"I should ask you what you are doing," Gu Luoling said firmly, "Gu Yangyan, you are very wrong. You must be hiding something from me."

Yang Yan did not deny it this time. He shrugged and said, "Sister, haven't you sent someone to investigate? Anyway, the truth will come out sooner or later. You should wait until the evidence is in front of you and see it yourself!"

His words almost made it clear that there was really something wrong with his father!

Gu Luoling was startled. When she was about to ask more questions, the phone at hand suddenly rang. Seeing that the caller ID was the fiancé she had been talking about before, she had to let her brother go for the time being and chose to answer the phone first.

The two of them usually have their own things to do and don’t contact each other frequently. There is nothing special about Zhang Zhengyi’s call. He just cares about his fiancée’s life and asks if her business trip is going well.

Gu Luoling didn’t think much about it. He just said that everything was fine. As for the danger that had happened in the middle, since it was safe now and even his parents didn’t plan to tell him, there was naturally no need to tell him.

Zhang Zhengyi didn’t find that his fiancée was hiding it from him. He gave her a few daily instructions and made an appointment with her to have dinner together the next day before hanging up the phone.

Although Gu Luoling didn’t love this fiancé very passionately, she was already talking about marriage, so she naturally liked him a little. When she ended the call, she had a faint smile on her face.

But when she put away her phone and looked at her brother, the smile on her face froze: "Ayan, why do you look like this?"

"Sister, on your business trip this time, does Zhang Zhengyi know which hotel you are staying in?" Yang Yan asked with a sullen face.

"I told him," Gu Luoling was so smart that she instantly thought of the intention of his question, and her face suddenly changed, "You mean Zhengyi..."

Yang Yan nodded solemnly.

The novel that the original owner had read mentioned that Zhang Zhengyi fell in love with another woman shortly after the engagement and wanted to break up the engagement with Gu Luoling.

It's just that the Zhang family has always disagreed with their affairs because the girl's family background is ordinary and they don't want to offend the Gu family.

Zhang's father threatened with the position of heir. If Zhang Zhengyi dared to break off the engagement, he would help the illegitimate son to take the position and not give him a penny of the company and property.

Zhang Zhengyi wanted the family property but was unwilling to give up his lover. He and the male protagonist Qi Huarong hit it off and joined forces to murder Gu Luoling. What happened in the hotel before was that he betrayed his fiancee's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, Gu Luoling was a hundred times stronger than they imagined. Her body was violated and her indecent photos were widely circulated, but these bad things did not break her down.

After being depressed for a while, she quickly cheered up and even found something strange in her fiance's decisive breakup and the revelation that he had a girlfriend, and she suspected him.

When Zhang Zhengyi was questioned, he panicked and accidentally pushed her down and knocked her unconscious. After that, he suddenly had evil thoughts and didn't stop. He simply hung her up with a rope and killed her, and pretended it was suicide.

Because Gu Luoling was attacked crazily on the Internet during that time, the reason for suicide was very sufficient. Even Gu's mother and the original owner did not doubt it, thinking that she really couldn't bear the collapse and committed suicide.

The two blamed themselves, blaming themselves for naively believing her words, thinking that she had recovered, and leaving her a space to be alone and calm, but in the end, they got such a result.

The case was hastily closed without a detailed investigation, and Gu Luoling died unjustly. As a result, the murderer was at large, not only inheriting his father's property, but also living with his beloved woman.

After knowing this, the original owner felt extremely guilty and blamed himself. Zhang Zhengyi turned out to be such a beast in human clothing. He didn't find out at all in two years. If he cared more about his sister, he wouldn't let her die unclearly.

His hatred for this person is no less than Qi Huarong. He must make his true face known to the world and lose everything he wants.

Yang Yan originally planned to wait for the results of the private detective's investigation before confronting his sister, but now he made an appointment with his sister to meet tomorrow. Although the time is so close, he may not attack again, but he has to be on guard.

"But why did he do this?" Gu Luoling shook her head, a little unconvinced, "Ayan, are you scared by my experience this time? You are like this, you know that it is very disturbing?"

"It is true that someone may want to harm us now, but you can't be so paranoid, right? You suspected Dad before, and now you suspect Zhengyi, as if we are surrounded by wolves and all of them are bad guys."

She smiled and patted her brother's arm, comforting him: "I will be careful about my safety in the future, bring a secretary assistant with me when I go out, stay at home until the bad guys are caught, go home on time every day, and don't go to places with few people. Now you can rest assured, right?"

"Sister, I'm not suffering from paranoia." Yang Yan's expression did not relax. He held her shoulders with his backhand and said seriously, "Yesterday, a friend of mine told me that he saw Zhang Zhengyi hugging a young girl intimately. together."

He made "friends" out of thin air without any psychological burden. Anyway, it was impossible for his sister to let him call the person out to confront him. "I was about to investigate, but something happened to you at night. I had to think more."

"You mean he cheated?" Gu Luoling was a little surprised when he heard the news, but he was not too sad. Instead, he analyzed it rationally, "Even if this matter is true and we are not married, he can definitely propose a divorce. There’s no need to be so cruel about the engagement, right?”

"My biological sister!" Yang Yan sighed and said, "Have you forgotten the relationship between the Zhang family and our family? They also pointed to our family to place orders for the Zhang family. Can Zhang Zhengyi's father agree to his termination of the engagement? ”

"If his father threatens to kick him out of the house and demands that he marry you, and he doesn't want to, there's no guarantee he won't take the risk."

Gu Luoling thought about it, but still found it impossible: "In order to justly propose to terminate the engagement, you find someone to bully me? Even if Zhang Zhengyi is really that bad, isn't he afraid that I will hate him for adding insult to injury? , will it also affect their company?”

"Sister, you have forgotten that the hotel also found filming equipment. The person who harmed you may want to do more things, such as..." Yang Yan's eyes were dark, "Post the video online."

Gu Luoling was a little frightened by his guess, with a disgusting expression on his face: "These people's hearts and methods are really vicious. Fortunately, you called the police in time."

Yang Yan patted her shoulder comfortingly. At this moment, his tall figure seemed particularly reliable. For the first time, Gu Luoling felt that her brother had grown up.

He continued: "So what happened in the hotel is definitely just the first step. The people who secretly want to harm you want to force you into a desperate situation. By then you are likely to collapse because of this, or even be forced to death. Their The purpose is achieved.”

After imagining the possibility, Gu Luoling sneered: "If they want to defeat me with such dirty methods, then they really underestimated me, Gu Luoling."

The person in front of her was probably the girl with the most tenacious character that Yang Yan had experienced in so many worlds. She was indeed not defeated by these things. Unfortunately, she underestimated the dangers of the human heart and ended up unjustly losing her life. .

"I know you are the best in the world, sister!" He praised without hesitation, and then continued to persuade, "But we should take precautions and avoid those bad things, okay?"

"Besides, if what my friend said is true, wouldn't it be disgusting for you to have dinner with Zhang Zhengyi? I have already sent people to investigate, so you can wait for the results to come out. OK?"

He had already said this, so how could Gu Luoling say anything against it? Besides, after what he said, she was not without doubts.

In the end, he could only nod helplessly, and under his younger brother's keen gaze, he called Zhang Zhengyi to cancel the appointment for the next day.
