 Chapter 28: Displaying the Dignity of an Older Brother (Extra)

Looking at the two teardrops on her face, Gu Qingning clicked her tongue.

"What a drama queen."

She took a step forward with her long legs, and Gu Wannian felt a little intimidated as she saw the figure getting closer and closer.

When Gu Qingning was less than a foot away from her, she stopped.

Leaning forward, she got close to Gu Wannian's ear, her red lips slightly moving, "Zhou Yao, Fang Yiyi, Zhao Xiaoxiu, these three people, you should be familiar with them, right?"

Gu Wannian's pupils contracted, and a chill surged from the bottom of her feet.

How could she know?

"I'll remember this debt for now. I won't trouble you for the time being, but it's best not to show up in front of me either." Gu Qingning glanced at her stiff expression from the corner of her eye, and her lips curled up slightly. "You've really annoyed me. Even the God of Heaven won't be able to save you."

Rather than dealing with her directly, she preferred to take her time and gradually crush her. It should be more interesting that way.

Gu Wannian froze, her beautiful face losing its color.

On the side, Gu Zhao perked up his ears but heard nothing.

"Qingning."

A gentle female voice came from not far away, and Gu Qingning turned her head to see Li Fei standing at the door of the principal's office, waving at her.

Gu Qingning walked over, leaving Gu Zhao behind. He turned his head and looked at Gu Wannian. "What did Qingning say to you?"

Gu Wannian avoided his gaze, her voice sounding unnatural. "Nothing, my sister was just playing a little joke on me."

Gu Zhao frowned and stopped pursuing the matter.

Even if he asked, she wouldn't tell the truth, so it would be a waste of time.

"Third brother, let's have lunch together?" Gu Wannian wanted to link her arm with him, but he avoided her.

"No need, I have something to do at noon."

With that, Gu Zhao walked away.

Seeing him heading towards Gu Qingning, Gu Wannian's eyes turned cold, and her hands clenched into fists at her sides.

"Qingning, the exams are scheduled for two hours later. Would you like to go back to class first?" Li Fei said gently.

At least she might absorb some information, so she wouldn't end up with a zero on the exam.

Gu Qingning replied, "No, I have something else to do. I'll come back later."

Li Fei choked, looking helpless. "Alright then, manage your time well. Come back ten minutes before the exam, and find me at the school gate."

Gu Qingning nodded and politely said, "Thank you, Teacher Li."

Li Fei shook her head. "You're welcome."

Gu Zhao wanted to say something, but Gu Qingning walked past him and left directly.

Ignored again.

Gu Zhao sighed inwardly, resigned, and followed her.

Seeing Gu Zhao following behind Gu Qingning, Gu Wannian's face turned as black as coal.

So what if she came back? She wouldn't let her take away what belonged to her.

As long as she stubbornly denied that matter, there was nothing Gu Qingning could do to her.

...

On the spacious school road, Gu Zhao chased after Gu Qingning.

He asked eagerly, "Qingning, where are you going? Let me drive you."

"No need."

"Just let me drive you once, okay?"

She still refused,

 "No need, I don't like owing people favors."

Gu Zhao's face fell. "We're siblings, it's not like I'm doing you a favor."

His tone changed, "If you don't let me drive you, then I'll just follow you."

Gu Qingning's steps faltered, and she glanced at him sideways, asking softly, "Are you threatening me?"

"No, I didn't mean it that way." Afraid of leaving a worse impression on her, Gu Zhao hurriedly explained.

"I'm not threatening you. Don't misunderstand." Seeing his nervousness and unease, Gu Qingning's eyes flickered. "Let's go."

Gu Zhao was momentarily confused and didn't catch on. "What?"

"I need to go to the bank." With that, she lifted her foot and walked forward.

Gu Zhao belatedly realized what she meant and a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

She was willing to get in his car?

He smiled, showing his teeth, and hurriedly caught up with her. "Qingning, wait for me."

The atmosphere remained cold throughout the journey.

Gu Zhao raised his head and looked at the girl dozing off in the rearview mirror, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

A phone call came in, and Gu Zhao glanced at the caller ID.

Second brother?

With one hand on the steering wheel, he picked up the phone and answered the call.

"Ah zhao, have you found her?"

"I found her." Gu Zhao lowered his voice.

"Good, I forgot to tell you yesterday. When you're coaxing a girl, you have to be gentle, not in a hurry. Also, you have to cater to her preferences. Girls like clothes and jewelry the most, so buy her more."

"Can't you be less superficial? Qingning isn't like the girls around you. You're just talking without knowing the facts. If you have the ability, you do it yourself."

"How is that superficial? Which girl doesn't like these things? Besides, let me tell you, as an older brother, you should occasionally display your dignity. If you need to scold her, scold her. Use a combination of gentle and tough methods. That's how it works."

Gu Zhao was speechless. Displaying his dignity was just nonsense.

"...I'll take your word for it."

He hung up decisively and shook his head.

His second brother...

***Extra update, fresh off the press, hot and steamy.

Second brother is digging his own grave, Azhao can't stop him.
