Son doing homework for the mom. She wondered if there was any dignity left in that.
“Okay, baby, translate this article for me.”
What was dignity? It didn’t matter!
After the plane arrived in Haicheng, the hotel had already been booked. Li Jiang reserved two presidential suites. Lu Zhiyuan had one room to himself, while Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu shared another room. Gu Ci and Gu Ziyu both discovered Lu Zhiyuan’s dual personality, so he wasn’t so cautious. The group of them took a car to the hotel. Lu Zhiyuan had been dealing with Black Hawk Group’s work and sat in the back seat silently. Gu Ziyu was afraid that Gu Ci would discover the truth and was very worried. He held onto Gu Ci and talked about the article he had just translated, pretending not to understand a few professional terms and leaving them to discuss on the way so as not to let her notice Lu Zhiyuan’s state.
The most awkward person was Li Jiang, who was driving.
Li Jiang noticed one thing. As long as he remained calm and not embarrassed, it was always someone else who felt embarrassed.
Gu Ci also didn’t want Gu Ziyu to discover Lu Zhiyuan’s condition, so she intentionally engaged him in conversation. The three of them unintentionally had an unspoken agreement to ignore each other throughout the trip.
When Gu Ziyu returned to the suite, Gu Ci had already taken a bath and gone to sleep. He pretended to turn off the lights and sleep, but in the middle of the night, he got up and checked the medical history of the Lu family. “Could my illness be genetic?”
However, after searching for a long time, he found that there was no history of mental illness in Lu Ze’s three generations, and they were all healthy.
Lu Zhiyuan’s mother also had no family history of hereditary diseases.
“Did he have a genetic mutation and pass it on to me?” Gu Ziyu sneered and gave up. Whether it was hereditary or not, without Lu Zhiyuan, she wouldn’t exist. Although her parents had given her some negatives, they had also given her some positives. Gu Ziyu took a deep breath and smiled, “Stay calm.”
He thought for a moment and checked Lu Zhiyuan’s medical records. Then he discovered something strange. Apart from Lu Zhiyuan’s competitions and known accidents, there were no medical records of him in the hospital database.
“He has never been sick from childhood to adulthood?” Gu Ziyu quickly searched with his fingers. “1 don’t believe it!”
The strange thing was that after searching for two hours, he couldn’t find any medical records. There were only vaccination records before the age of three. He suspected that someone had deleted the data, but he couldn’t find any traces of deletion. If he couldn’t find any traces of deletion…
Gu Ziyu pondered, “Did my father have an innate talent and never got sick from childhood to adulthood?”
The next day, he asked Gu Ci, “Mom, has anyone never been sick since birth?”
“The probability is very low.” Gu Ci, being a doctor, spoke objectively, “When a person is born, their immune system gradually develops. They may not have serious illnesses, but they will inevitably have minor ailments.”
“You grew up with Dad since childhood. Did he ever get sick?”
“No, he didn’t!” Gu Ci thought for a moment and shook her head. “Your father has always been strong and healthy from a young age. He has a good immune system and belongs to a low-probability group.”
Gu Ci suspected that Lu Zhiyuan was not human after all, considering that humans couldn’t teleport.
Lu Zhiyuan came over to join them for breakfast, and Gu Ziyu, knowing that he had regained his memories, cleverly hid his suspicions and didn’t delve deeper. However, Lu Zhiyuan still sensitively sensed Gu Ziyu’s gaze.
“What are you looking at, little milk bun?”
“Big brother, you’re so handsome.” Gu Ziyu blinked, praising cutely, “You’re the most handsome big brother I’ve ever seen.”
Lu Zhiyuan calmly drank his milk and ate his salad, saying, “Empty flattery.
God only knows if it’s sinister or deceitful.”
“People should communicate sincerely with each other.” Gu Ziyu smiled subtly, “1 appreciate your beauty.”
Gu Ci gaped at them.
“You’re two handsome guys, stop messing around. Enjoy the two days of the trip, okay?”
Lu Zhiyuan spread his hands and looked sincerely at Gu Ci. “If both Ziyu and 1 fall into the water, whom would you save?”
“What are you thinking, Lu Zhiyuan!” Gu Ci blurted out, “Of course, 1 would save Gu Ziyu.”
Lu Zhiyuan felt a blow to his heart.
Gu Ziyu smiled, showing his white teeth, and narrowed his eyes. He added, “Big brother if you fall into the water, I’ll throw you a swimming ring.”
After having breakfast together as a family, they went diving by the seaside. Li Jiang had arranged the itinerary. Lu Zhiyuan had a diving qualification, and Gu Ci had a fear of deep water, so she waited for him and Gu Ziyu on the deck. Lu Zhiyuan took Gu Ziyu into the water to play. Li Jiang was worried about accidents, so he also arranged for a diving instructor.
While they were playing in the water, Gu Ci sunbathed on the deck, drinking wine and eating cake, showcasing the typical elegant and noble demeanor of an upper-class lady, and posted the pictures on her social media.
The Jiang family members all clicked the “Like” button.
Lin Chunli: Wow, Cici is so beautiful.
Jiang Minghua: Wow, Cici is so beautiful.
The old Mr. and Mrs. Jiang from the Jiang family also clicked the “Like” button. They weren’t used to typing on social media, so the old lady sent a voice message to Gu Ci.
Gu Ci replied to each of them. Jiang Junlin was the most practical; he sent her a bunch of travel tips and recommendations for Haicheng’s cuisine. The Jiang family knew that Gu Wenliang and Lu Man often took Gu Chuyun and Gu Yaozu on trips, but they never took Gu Ci with them.
She was always left alone at home.
Li Jiang said, “Miss Gu Ci, would you like to try shallow diving? We have a diving instructor with us, so it’s very safe.”
“No need.”
“I’m afraid you’ll get bored.”
Gu Ci chuckled. She wasn’t bored at all. Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ziyu were within her reach, and she felt happy and secure even if she imprisoned herself in her own world. This kind of emotion couldn’t be felt by others.
Zhou Jinjin sent a string of jealous emojis and then sent a video message, “Cici, Cici, is Haicheng fun? You’re sunbathing, why are you dressed so formally? You should wear a bikini.”
Gu Ci couldn’t help but smile, “1 didn’t bring one. What are you filming?”
“I got a small beauty advertisement. Several brands have approached me recently to shoot ads. They have great taste.” Zhou Jinjin, who was focused on making money, was extremely happy. “Let me tell you some gossip. This advertisement was originally meant for Gu Chuyun, but since the Gu family went bankrupt, the investors replaced her. Back then, whenever Gu Chuyun liked something, she would snatch it away. We couldn’t do anything to her except beat her up. Now, we can snatch her resources. It feels great. I purposely chose two advertisements that kicked Gu Chuyun out.”
“Well done!” Gu Ci praised.
After a pause, she added, “Gu Chuyun is extremely petty. Be careful she doesn’t seek revenge on you.”
“What can she do to me? Without the title of Gu family’s little princess and Hualan Bank, who would buy her innocent act? Even the image of a princess in distress doesn’t work anymore.” Zhou Jinjin gloated. “After Gu Yaozu was discharged from the hospital, he rested for a few days and went to a bar, where he got into a fight with someone over a woman. He accidentally injured the other person, who demanded compensation of five hundred thousand yuan. Lu Man even sold a small property with limited ownership. Gu Chuyun is overwhelmed with her own troubles. She doesn’t have time to bicker with me. If she wants to start a fight, I’m ready anytime.”
Gu Ci’s smile turned cold. Gu Yaozu had a hot temper, spoiled since childhood, and had caused trouble continuously in his previous life. With Gu Chuyun and Lu Shijie taking care of him, he was able to handle the aftermath. But now that he had lost his support, his downfall was just a matter of time.
Seeing Gu Ci’s silence, Zhou Jinjin said, “Oh my god, Cici, you don’t feel sorry for them, do you?”
