122 What a Scheming Woman (2/2)
”What a good catch.” An Xiaoning folded her hands together like she was deep in thought. She mused as she turned and look at Jin Qingyan, ”I wonder when they got together? What marvelous speed this is.”
”Who cares when they got together?” Jin Qingyan remarked coldly. ”Her matters have nothing to do with me in the future.”
An Xiaoning replied with a grin, ”I really don't know what Gu Dongcheng is thinking, he actually has eyes for a scheming woman like Chi Rui'er. Forget it, I guess one man's meat is another's poison. Let's not talk about him, didn't you also fall for her? It's not surprising at all, not surprising.”
These words were like a knife that pierced through Jin Qingyan, turning his face green instantly.
Knowing that Chi Rui'er had moved on to ruin a new target, An Xiaoning felt more relieved inside. Although Gu Dongcheng was her Godbrother in name, they were hardly close in reality. If he was a willing party, she did not want to say anything further.

When Gu Beicheng returned, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa and playing the handphone game of 'Fight the Landlord.'
”Mother, why are you playing this again?”
”I have nothing to do anyway, so I'm just playing it to pass time. Where have you been for this period of time? I haven't seen you.” Mrs. Gu sounded slightly displeased. ”You didn't even answer my calls, what on earth were you doing?”
”I went away to travel for a few days, just to relax.”
Mrs. Gu placed her handphone down and said in hushed tones, ”Did you see the news? That tramp, Chi Rui'er, has gotten together with your brother.”
Hearing this, Gu Beicheng started laughing momentarily.
”Why are you laughing, is it that funny that your brother is playing with the woman you played with?” Mrs. Gu reached out to hit him.
”Mother…” He had not recovered from his laughter. ”If he wants to play with her, let him be. He can have fun with her for all I care.”
”That's not the most important issue. When I see that Chi Rui'er, all my insides boil up. She's not anything good.” Mrs. Gu continued, ”Son, you should open your eyes wider when you find a girlfriend next time. Don't find someone like Chi Rui'er anymore. Just with our family background, it's not difficult for you to find a good woman.”
”Umm. You're right, Mother, I'll listen to you about everything in the future.”
These sugar-coated words were especially pleasing to Mrs. Gu, but on the surface, she replied, ”When have you ever listened to me?”
”Who says I've never listened to you, Mother? Well, you didn't ask for my permission to give birth to me, wasn't that me listening to you?”
Mrs. Gu reached out to hit him again. He suddenly sprung to his feet and said, ”Mother, I have something else to do, I'll go first.”
Mrs. Gu took her phone again and continued to play 'Fight the Landlord.'
Gu Beicheng went out, and the smile that was already on his face grew wider. He stood there looking ahead and noticed Gu Dongcheng's car entering the courtyard. He suddenly leaped forward towards his direction.
”I haven't seen you for some time, where have you been?”
”Went away for over ten days to relax. I saw the news, you're with Chi Rui'er now?”
Gu Dongcheng made a sound of acknowledgment, then continued, ”I know she was your…”
He had yet to finish his words when Gu Beicheng interjected, ”Brother, although she used to be my girlfriend in name, I've never touched her. So about this, you don't have to be bothered by it.”
”It's truly like what she said.” Gu Dongcheng chuckled. ”Where are you going now?”
”I've something to attend to.”
”Alright, you go ahead.”
Gu Beicheng walked past him and made his way to his own car slowly. When he got on, he retrieved Chi Rui'er's phone number from the list of blocked numbers and sent her a message: ”Does my brother know that you're pregnant?”
Very soon, he received a reply: ”I'm not pregnant, I was just joking with you.”
He chucked his phone aside and mumbled to himself, ”What a scheming woman.”
