An Ying Ya Ge.

Located in the heart of the most bustling financial district in Shangjing City, it can be said to be a favorite dining spot for business elites.

The interior features a minimalist design and many trendy photo spots, making it very popular among young people.

This restaurant, which has only been open for a month, is completely empty every day.

When Gu Qingyan came last time, she noticed that the decorating style was similar to hers.

Gu Qingyan glanced at Su Qian casually, a smile flashing in her eyes.

Su Qian pouted and said coquettishly, "Why is my sister looking at me like that?"

"You drove it." Gu Qingyan's tone was cold and alluring, her words carrying a sense of certainty.

Glancing at the dishes on the table, they ordered the most expensive ones, with over a dozen desserts alone.

Su Qian took a sip of her drink and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Isn't this to stand up for you? They're the ones who bullied you, so let them pay a price."

Gu Qingyan turned to look at her, her hand on the table, her eyes darkening. "Isn't it that you're trying to use this for personal gain? Are you just stirring up trouble?"

"What?..." Su Qian was interrupted by Gu Qingyan before she could finish speaking.

"Remember to settle the payment for this design."

"Alright then." Su Qian sighed.

I should have ordered a few more dishes.

Gu Qingyan raised an eyebrow and casually added, "Remember to share half of tonight's meal together."

Su Qian: "..."

Aren't you afraid of being too greedy?

He gritted his teeth and said, "Deal."

Sheng Yanxiao looked at the two people interacting opposite him with a smile that was three parts smile and seven parts coldness.

If he doesn't act soon, his sister will be taken by someone else. She's only gone out to eat for the first time and she's already in danger!

Su Qian also sensed the intense hostility from the man opposite her. He had delicate and handsome features, and his eyebrows and eyes were similar to Gu Qingyan's. He was dressed in casual clothes, which accentuated his tall and straight figure.

My sister's second brother is no ordinary person!

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Yan'er's second brother, Sheng Yanxiao."

Sheng Yanxiao turned his gaze, concealing all his emotions, and with great grace poured tea for Su Qian.

Su Qian's eyelids twitched violently twice. She wasn't sure if she had misheard, but she could detect a hint of smugness in her voice.

He glanced at Gu Qingyan without making a sound, but Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes and did not participate in the conflict between the two.

However, Su Qian quickly regained her composure, "Young Master Sheng traveled far and wide to a renowned city, calling himself a tycoon of the arts in the capital."

Sheng Yanxiao's smile deepened. "It is indeed I."

Su Qian curled her lips knowingly, looking at the peeled shrimp, deboned fish, and sliced ​​steak in Gu Qingyan's bowl...

He adjusted his watch. "To put it nicely, I'm an art tycoon; to put it bluntly, I'm just a shameless middleman!"

Su Qian seemed completely oblivious, looking defiantly at the man opposite her, and took the meat from Gu Qingyan's bowl.

"Su Qian and my sister are as close as sisters! I think she must have mentioned me to you, right?"

To strike a snake, strike its vital spot; Su Qian is a person who understands the art of yin and yang.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Sheng Yanxiao and Su Qian met each other's gazes in the air, and there was a feeling that they were about to explode.

Gu Qingyan slowly and methodically picked through the scallions, garlic, and carrots in her bowl.

"Why would Yan'er talk about someone who is unrelated to her? If he were really important, she would have brought him home to play with long ago."

The implication is: You're not important!

Su Qian's brow twitched slightly.

Yan'er? Yan'er? He called her that so affectionately.

"Blood ties are not important. What is important is that I am now her family, my sister."

Su Qian gave a forced smile.

"Thank you, Miss Su, for your companionship with Yan'er over the years. To express my gratitude, I will present you with a copy of 'The Lonely One'."

Su Qian's expression stiffened slightly. She glanced at Gu Qingyan silently at the painting, which had already been sold for an astronomical price, before nodding.

"Then I'm not welcome!"

"Miss Su, please feel free to order anything else you'd like to eat."

After he finished speaking, he handed the menu to Su Qian.

"After all, you are our guest."

Su Qian tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

guest?

Ha ha!

Su Qian took a deep breath. Why not spend the money? In the end, it would all go into her pocket anyway.

He reached out and took the menu, casually ordering the most expensive signature dish, but he wasn't about to let anyone off the hook with his mouth.

"Oh, the second young master of the Sheng family is quite the player. If he really wanted to acknowledge us as his sisters, why would he only show up now?"

Sheng Yanxiao's expression remained unchanged, but the veins on his hand holding the water glass bulged, and his knuckles were slightly white.

In an instant, the private room fell into dead silence.

"Something came up and I was delayed, Yan'er. I'm sorry, your second brother."

The next second, his eyes brightened slightly, not expecting someone to offer him a way out.

Gu Qingyan gave a faint "oh," and said, "It's alright, as long as it delays my burial."

Sheng Yanxiao: "..."

Don't stab me in the heart!

I hate that bastard Chi Yan so much!

……

I have an important task to do tonight.

I saw the target person moving on my phone.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone out to dinner with Sheng Yanxiao.

Women's restroom, in the cubicle.

Gu Qingyan was the only one.

She pressed her watch, and within seconds, a ghostly screen appeared out of thin air in front of her.

As the screen appeared, Gu Qingyan moved her fingers lightly to enter the password; her beautiful fingers moved so fast on the projected virtual keyboard that they were just afterimages.

He had a woman's cigarette between his teeth, taking small puffs.

His eyes were cold and indifferent, a faint smile playing on his lips, exuding a captivating and seductive charm that seemed to pierce the soul.

Suddenly, her rapidly moving hands stopped.

His amber eyes narrowed slightly.

Press the earpiece: "Target, 45 degrees to your left."

Meanwhile, the monitoring room of Anying Yage discovered that it had lost control of the monitoring and could not access any of the equipment, causing chaos.

"There's a sniper at a 60-degree angle to you," Gu Qingyan suddenly said, her eyes glued to the screen.

On the other end of the phone, Su Qian took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and staggered toward the sniper's position.

As she brushed past a man, she suddenly tripped and fell on top of him, spilling wine on his face. Both of them fell to the ground.

Su Qian quickly pressed the ring, and a tiny needle shot swiftly into the sniper's throat, piercing the man's head.

It happened so suddenly that no one noticed what was happening.

"I'm sorry, brother, are you hurt?"

Su Qian quickly got off the man and apologized to him.

The man was about to explode when he looked up and saw the beautiful woman in front of him. His anger vanished. "It's alright. It's my blessing to be a human shield for a beautiful woman."

"How about we add each other on WeChat?" Shi Qiansi quickly took out his phone and handed it to Su Qian.

"Okay." Su Qian decisively scanned the QR code and added the other party. "Brother, you're such a good person, you didn't even scold me. I'll go back and change my clothes now!"

Gu Qingyan listened to the commotion on the other end, paused slightly, and zoomed in on the video. "The target has appeared in the parking lot."

Gu Qingyan gave her location and then opened the surveillance footage of Su Qian leaving the banquet.

Suddenly someone screamed, "Ahhh!! Someone come quick! This person is having a seizure!"

The man in the black suit was foaming at the mouth and convulsing on the ground, looking exactly like someone having an epileptic seizure!

It seems her knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine hasn't declined!

Last night, she made a little poison and soaked the needles in it.

It is colorless and odorless, and cannot be detected.

Gu Qingyan glanced at it, flicked her cigarette ash, and switched the surveillance camera back to the parking lot.

【It is done.】

……

As soon as Gu Qingyan entered the restroom, several people rushed in.

"Miss Gu, you've finally shown yourself." The leading man threw away his cigarette.

"Miss Gu, shall we take action, or will you leave on your own?" The man's tone was as calm as an emotionless machine.

"Guess?" Gu Qingyan's eyes turned cold, her beautiful eyes narrowed again and again, and a faint, wicked smile appeared on her lips.

Ha, she looks easy to bully?!

If you mess with a powerful figure who annoys you, the consequences can be dire.

"You should know that Young Master An is not someone to be trifled with."

"Brother, we don't want to make things difficult for you. If you can play with us for a bit, we might let you off the hook. There are rooms upstairs."

"If you like it here, we guys can accommodate you."

“Miss Gu has angered Young Master An, which will not do you any good.”

Gu Qingyan's brows were icy cold, her expression blank, and she parted her thin lips slightly, "Get out."

The men's expressions changed slightly.

"Since you refuse to cooperate..."

After saying that, the group attacked at the same time.

……

Shangguan Du was in the men's restroom next door when he smelled the strong stench of blood and came over.

The closer you get, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

The man's throat tightened, his body pressure plummeted, and his face darkened.

His face was covered in frost, and he walked lightly toward that direction.

Before I even reached the door, a dark figure slowly emerged from the restroom entrance.

The girl's face was striking, her expression nonchalant and languid, her eyes cold, revealing indifference and unruly arrogance.

She walked out of the blood-smelling toilet with her hands in her pockets and a leisurely gait.

It's like taking a walk at home.

There wasn't a speck of dust on him, but the smell of blood was even stronger when he passed by Shangguandu.

"Young lady, what happened inside? Are you injured?" The man hesitated for a moment, his voice cold and tinged with panic.

"Injured?" Gu Qingyan turned her gaze to his wrist and suddenly noticed teeth marks near his collar.

That night, she vaguely heard him call out, "Baby, why do you like biting my neck so much?"

There was also a deep tooth mark on his lean arm.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Everything reminded her of how crazy that night had been!

Otherwise, she would have used her last bit of spiritual power to remove it, or her body would have been completely disfigured long ago!

He raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you go in and see for yourself?"

"There's blood on him..."

"Oh, I got my period, and the flow is a bit heavy," the girl said casually.

Shangguan Du frowned.

Every time he saw this girl, he felt a sense of familiarity. Even though he didn't know her, he couldn't help but pay attention to her.

"Sir, may I leave now?" Gu Qingyan raised her chin, her voice lazy and hoarse, as if she was sleepy. "You are blocking my way, I can't get through."

Gu Qingyan was really sleepy.

I used up too much spiritual energy just now.

She needs to go back and get a good night's sleep to replenish her spiritual energy.

Shangguan Du's gaze lingered on her for a long time. He didn't say anything more, remained silent for a few seconds, and then turned and left.

His back was strong and upright, with long legs, and his black clothes gave off a strange sense of asceticism and aloofness.

Even just a glimpse of her back exudes an extraordinary aura that captivates the eye.

This man, it must be said, perfectly matched her aesthetic. Having lived through so many lifetimes and seen countless handsome men, he was arguably the most handsome man she had ever met.

Gu Qingyan stood still, her eyes half-closed, staring thoughtfully at the man's receding figure.

Then he turned and walked towards the private room.

……

Su Qian caught a glimpse of the person sitting down next to her out of the corner of her eye. She glanced up casually and her gaze froze instantly.

The girl gently patted her head, her thick eyelashes concealing the redness in her eyes.

She didn't look too well, her complexion was slightly pale, but it didn't detract from her pretty face.

Looking at Gu Qingyan, who exuded a cold aura, Sheng Yanxiao asked with some concern, "Why do you look so pale after going out? Are you feeling unwell?"

"fine."

Her voice was hoarse, and she was restraining her emotions as she stroked the cross necklace around her neck again and again.

She stopped when she saw that Sheng Yanxiao thought the necklace was about to break, and slowly stuffed it back into her clothes.

If Shangguan Du were here, he would find that this necklace and the one he was wearing were from the same person.

Sheng Yanxiao said worriedly, "How about I take you to the hospital to get checked out?"

Gu Qingyan looked up, her eyes bright, dark and deep, both alluring and seductive.

Sheng Yanxiao: "..."

Su Qian quickly picked up a piece of cake and gave it to her.

Gu Qingyan didn't know when she started liking sweets, especially that sweet and cloying cake.

Sheng Yanxiao coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, straightened his back, and said that his sense of authority was nothing in front of his younger sister. "By the way, your school called me. When are you going back?"

After listening, Gu Qingyan raised her eyebrows, gave a faint smile, and casually replied, "Tomorrow."

Su Qian glanced at the person eating cake at the table and asked casually, "Boss, do you really need to go back to school? Just to put people down?"

Gu Qingyan gave a forced, insincere smile.

……

Gu Qingyan and her group left the restaurant. It was already quite late. She planned to go back and get some sleep, and then start reading the script tomorrow.

Not far away, Sheng Xuanyue and Yi Yunke had just gotten out of the car. They had heard that the food at this newly opened restaurant was amazing, so they came to try it.

The group was discussing what they would eat later.

Sudden.

"Sister Yue, isn't that your second brother?" A girl stopped and looked at the three people who came out of the elevator.

Everyone looked up in the direction the girl had indicated.

Sheng Xuanyue turned her head and saw Gu Qingyan's face, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

Gu Qingyan.

"Is that the woman who stole Yun Ke's role last time? She's with your second brother, is she a relative of yours?"

Sheng Xuanyue smiled slightly, "No, he's just a poor student sponsored by his family."

This girl was a recent winner of a talent show; she wasn't from the elite social circle and didn't know Gu Qingyan's identity.

"Oh," the girl drawled, her gaze sweeping over Gu Qingyan's unbranded clothes, her tone dripping with sarcasm, "Should we go over and say hello?"

Sheng Xuanyue glanced at her slightly flushed face out of the corner of her eye.

He nodded and walked over there, saying, "Second Brother."

Hearing someone call out, Sheng Yanxiao turned around and saw that it was Sheng Xuanyue. He paused slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Sheng Xuanyue gave what she thought was a sweet and well-behaved smile. "I heard that the food here is delicious, so I brought my friends to try it. Second brother, have you eaten yet? Would you like to join us?"

"Hello, brother." The girl next to him greeted Sheng Yanxiao.

But he couldn't help but look at Gu Qingyan.

The garage was dimly lit, and Gu Qingyan was wearing a white baseball cap, with half of her face hidden under the brim.

Her waist-length hair cascaded down her back, her skin was as white as snow, and her legs were long and slender.

She has a cool and aloof demeanor and a powerful presence.

Her features are so beautiful that they inspire envy.

His lips were slightly pursed, revealing a hint of roguishness, and his eyes were upturned at the corners, making him both alluring and unrestrained.

He seems to be a ruthless character.

No wonder, a poor student from a remote and impoverished area, if he doesn't strive to improve himself, he'll end up rolling in the mud.

How can I compare to these top performers in big cities?

She's just a little delinquent.

The girl next to her was not as pretty as her, but she was still the kind of girl they envied.
