Leaving the Zhao family mansion, the luxury car drove steadily on the wide street.

Zhao Yiming lazily leaned back in his chair, playing with a piece of crystal clear jade in his hand, but from time to time he glanced at Zhao Linger beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Zhao Linger was wearing a plain white dress, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders. Her delicate facial features seemed to be carefully carved by God, exuding a cool temperament.

At this moment, she was resting with her eyes closed, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

When I thought about how my sister and Gu Ci were having a hot relationship recently.

Zhao Yiming felt furious.

Zhao Yiming glanced at Zhao Linger and said sarcastically, "Oh, sister, are you thinking about your lover? Why, are you afraid that your brother will disturb your good time?"

Zhao Linger didn't even raise her eyelids and replied coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."

"How is it irrelevant? You are my sister, Zhao Yiming. Gu Ci is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. He doesn't even take a piss and look at himself!"

Zhao Linger remained unmoved. She had long been accustomed to Zhao Yiming's sarcasm and was too lazy to waste words with him.

Seeing that Zhao Linger ignored him, Zhao Yiming felt bored. He weighed the jade in his hand and muttered, "This was given to me by my father before I left. What do you think the meaning of asking us to represent the Zhao family this time? It's just to meet the management of Shangqing University, for our future!"

"This palm jade my father gave me is a piece of jade that three generations of our Zhao family have been polishing for a hundred years. It contains the essence of several generations' spiritual power. I want to give it to the president. I believe that it will be a matter of minutes for me to enter Shangqing University!"

"As for your Gu Ci... Hey, sister, don't blame me for not worrying about you. I've asked around, and he's just a bricklayer. His family is very poor... Tsk tsk tsk..."

Zhao Linger's breathing stagnated. She certainly knew what Zhao Yiming meant.

For the children of their family, marriage has always been a bond of family interests. Love? That's just a joke.

"Brother, instead of talking to me about all this nonsense, you might as well think about how to please the principal and make him look at you differently among so many family members. After all, there is only one piece of palm jade, but there are many families attending the meeting this time... right?" Zhao Linger's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm.

"You!" Zhao Yiming's face changed. Zhao Linger hit the nail on the head and he immediately became angry and embarrassed. "You stupid girl, don't think I don't know what you are thinking! What's so good about that kid Gu Ci? He has no money and no background. You can't really like him, right?"

"Whether I like him or not, what does it have to do with you?" Zhao Linger turned her head and looked at the passing scenery outside the window with a cold tone.

"How can it be okay? You are my sister, Zhao Yiming!" Zhao Yiming slammed the chair, furious. "I'm telling you, that kid Gu Ci is not worthy of you! If he knows what's good for him, he should stay away from you and stop dreaming of climbing up to our Zhao family!"

Zhao Linger closed her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Yiming's hysteria.

Zhao Linger was too lazy to say anything else and turned to look out the window.

Outside the speeding car window, there are rows of high-rise buildings. The sky in the distance is divided into irregular shapes by the high-rise buildings, like pieces of colored glass discarded at random.

"You just don't know how lucky you are!"

Seeing that Zhao Linger didn't say anything, Zhao Yiming thought that he had persuaded her, so he softened his tone, "I'm telling you, if that kid Gu Ci is sensible, you should let him give up his thoughts as soon as possible. Don't worry, how could I harm you? When you get to Shangqing University, I'll help you look for someone. There are many young talents. When the time comes, I promise to help you find someone who is a hundred times better than that kid Gu Ci!"

"Brother, Gu Ci is also in the preparatory course of Shangqing University!"

Zhao Linger reminded Zhao Yiming.

"The preparatory course of Shangqing University? Ha, he's still a bricklayer!" Zhao Yiming sneered disdainfully, as if he had heard a huge joke. "What kind of place is Shangqing University? It's a place that children from families like us have to fight hard to get in! For a bricklayer like him to be able to get into the preparatory course, he must have been lucky!"

"Also, sister, you have to understand what preparatory courses are. Preparatory courses are just a qualification. Whether you can officially enter depends on this hunt!"

"I can guarantee that I can get in. Can he, Gu Ci?"

Zhao Linger frowned slightly. Although Zhao Yiming's words were harsh, they did make sense.

Gu Ci's background was indeed an insurmountable gap between them.

She recalled the first time she met Gu Ci. Even though the battle situation was dangerous and the opponent was brutal, it couldn't conceal the determination and seriousness in his eyes.

At that moment, Zhao Linger's heart seemed to be gently hit by something.

"Brother, could you please not say such harsh words?" Zhao Linger's voice unconsciously became a little angry.

Zhao Yiming caught the change in Zhao Linger's tone, alarm bells rang in his heart, and his face darkened.

"Why, it looks like you really intend to protect him? Zhao Linger, I'm telling you, don't be confused!"

"Gu Ci is not a good guy at first glance, stay away from him!"

"Brother!" Zhao Linger stood up suddenly, with a hint of anger in her tone, "Why do you say that about him? Do you know him?"

"Of course I understand. I don't need to understand. Is it worth it for me to understand a bricklayer, other than his strength?"

"You know nothing, so don't talk nonsense here!" Zhao Linger took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, sat back in her seat, and ignored Zhao Yiming.

Zhao Yiming looked at Zhao Linger's stubborn back, and his anger grew even more intense, but he also knew that now was not the time to argue with her.

He snorted coldly, turned his head to the window and stopped talking.

The carriage fell silent again, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.

At this moment, Zhao Linger looked through the car window and saw the street scene outside.

And the next moment, her eyes changed.

Because he saw a man in tattered clothes, holding a pet monkey and squatting on the side of the road eating bread.

Zhao Linger's heart skipped a beat, as if someone had grabbed it, and her breathing even stopped for a moment.

Why is Gu Ci here? Why is he dressed like a beggar?

On the street, Gu Ci didn't seem to notice the luxury car passing by. He was chewing on a piece of hard bread with his head down. His ragged clothes made him look out of place with the surroundings.

The Monkey King next to him was quite clever, jumping up and down and making faces at passers-by, trying to beg for some food.

Gu Ci had just returned to J City after a big battle. How could he have the time to change clothes?

My stomach was growling with hunger, so I simply bought some bread and ate it with Wukong.

Gu Ci looked like a homeless man, squatting on the street chewing on hard bread. There was a dirty monkey next to him, jumping up and down and making faces at passers-by.
