Chapter 6 Like a hunter hiding in the dark
Gu Chi leaned against the car and raised his eyebrows cynically: "Okay, we can still read after tidying up."
Gu Tingwan retorted with a smile: "It's ugly even if you clean it up."
"."
The bickering between the brother and sister stopped after the appearance of Gu's father and Gu's mother.
Tonight's private banquet is held in a Chinese-style courtyard owned by the Zhao family. The courtyard is large, antique and elegant. There is a pond in the center of the courtyard and a hexagonal pavilion has been erected.
Gu Tingwan's lips curled up slightly and she pointed at the pavilion: "I'm going to find Zhao Jinqi."
Because the relationship between the Gu and Zhao families is very good, and because Gu Tingwan and Zhao Jinqi are similar in age, the two grew up together and are serious children.
Seeing Gu Tingwan approaching with a graceful figure, Zhao Jinqi took the fish food and sprinkled it on the water, lazily raised his chin, "A busy man, you are finally back?"
The koi fish in the pond were vying for food with their mouths open. The evening breeze ruffled Gu Tingwan's hair. She sat down calmly, with the dim light reflecting on her face: "Take a rest for a while."

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and without any polite words to Zhao Jinqi, he motioned to the chessboard on the table, "Play a game?"
The sound of elders talking and laughing could be heard faintly from the house.
The two of them don't want to go in too early. As they get older, marriage has become a problem that the elders worry about, and it is more tiring to deal with it than work.
Zhao Jinqi put down a white piece, as if thinking of something, he curled his lips with interest: "Do you know that Brother Zhang raised a girl in Luting?"
"." Gu Tingwan frowned, obviously ignorant of this matter.
"It's pretty good to hide it. My uncle and aunt are probably also hidden." Zhao Jinqi said, "Don't say it was me who said it."
He rested his chin on his hand, "I met her by chance last month. Brother Zhang was teaching the girl how to play cards. You also know that he is a serious person and everyone is afraid of him, but he is very patient with that girl."
< br>
"It is said that we have been together for almost two years."
However, the Gu family's parents are very open-minded and don't have many requirements for their two children, unlike other families who want to find someone who is a good match.
Gu Chi hid it so well. He didn't reveal any information in two years, and he was unwilling to take the girl home to introduce her. This could only mean one thing.
He doesn't have much sincerity.
Just like Zhao Jinqi said, he was raised in Luting.
Gu Tingwan clicked his tongue: "There is a scumbag in our Gu family?"
Zhao Jinqi immediately distanced himself from the relationship: "I didn't say that."
"Besides, I think Brother Zhang is a clean man. There is no young master in the circle who is not hugged by everyone. Brother Zhang is just a woman." He looked at the chess game, "He is not a scumbag."
This game was boring.
Gu Tingwan's attention was no longer on playing chess. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was at the end of his rope.
She lowered her eyes to find a way to break the situation and said softly, "What is our circle?"
In front of a family like the Jin family in Hong Kong City, even if they are as comfortable as a fish in water, they are still an ant.
Gu Chi is already an adult, and even if he is his sister, she doesn't want to dictate his feelings.
What's more, she doesn't know anything about the relationship between the two people.
"I just pretend I don't know about this."
She didn't move for a long time, and Zhao Jinqi chuckled slightly proudly: "Admit defeat."
Gu Tingwan said nothing, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she would not give in easily.
Zhao Jinqi was sure of victory and gave her enough time.
Gu Tingwan put her elbows on the table, holding the black chess piece in mid-air, her hair hanging down by her ears, and she stared seriously.
However, there is a pleasant smell of ebony and sandalwood floating vaguely, lingering in the nose, familiar and strange at the same time.
She moved slightly confused.
The next second, a slender hand with distinct joints came from behind, picked up a sunspot, and put it down gently. In an instant, the chess game was broken.
Gu Tingwan raised her head slightly in panic, and met a pair of deep, dull black eyes, clear and distant, with an invisible sense of oppression at the end of her eyes.
Her heart was beating violently, and her breathing could not help but become a little faster. The shock in her pupils swept away, but she calmed down in an instant. She stood up and said warmly: "Mr. Jin."
Jin Boli.
Someone she thought she would never see again.
He was not dressed that formally today. He only had a silk white shirt and black trousers. Two buttons of the shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his cold white collarbones. His figure of nearly 1.9 meters cast a shadow, looking dignified. It was cold, and the air around him seemed to become tight.
Zhao Jinqi stood up immediately. He knew that there would be a distinguished guest at home today. Although he didn't know who it was, he could tell by looking at his aura that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
While he was surprised at how young he was, he also thought about the powerful man named Jin.
Suddenly remembering the Jin family in Hong Kong City, I broke out in a cold sweat.
In October, the night wind is already very cold.
The wind carried the man's deep voice, and Gu Tingwan's body trembled unconsciously.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Miss Gu, please lead the way."
——
Zhao Jinqi followed the two people with a slightly complicated expression.
It feels like the atmosphere is so subtle!
The elders were looking forward to it and were about to go out to greet her when they saw Gu Tingwan walking slowly and elegantly. The man beside her was calm. At first glance, she looked like a talented and beautiful woman, like a newlywed couple playing harmoniously.
But everyone changed their faces and hurried out.
Father Zhao was slightly panicked: "Mr. Jin, I'm really sorry. We didn't take good care of you when you came all the way."
Jin Boli's expression was as usual, calm and elegant. Even in front of people older than himself, his aura was natural: "I came early."
Gu Tingwan silently took two steps back.
The elders welcomed him into the house, and Zhao Jinqi's voice was lowered so that only the two of them could hear: "What's going on."
"Last month, Miss Jin invited me to Hong Kong City to do her makeup. I just met Mr. Jin by chance."
Gu Tingwan's words were concise and to the point, and he stepped forward to keep up.
Zhao Jinqi frowned and looked at her back, feeling something was wrong.
When the black chess piece fell, Gu Tingwan couldn't see it, but he could see it clearly.
When Mr. Jin lowered his eyes and looked down at Gu Tingwan, his Adam's apple rolled slightly.
With all the guests present, tonight's private banquet officially begins.
Gu Tingwan kept her head down while eating, not interested in the topic they were talking about.
After dinner, Jin Boli went to the study room upstairs to talk with her father Zhao and Gu. She was eating fruit and her eyes naturally fell on Gu Chi.
Gu Chi was looking at his phone, tapping the screen carelessly to reply to messages.
Noticing his sister's gaze, he raised his eyes and said, "What are you looking at?"
"." Gu Tingwan didn't bother to pay attention to him, stood up, walked to the pond, and dialed Liang Youjing's number.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered.
She frowned and turned around, her heart stagnating slightly.
A tall figure stood not far away. Under the dim light, his ink-like eyes were locked on his body.
Like a hunter hiding in the dark.
