Gu Chi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Monts later, the door was flung open, and An Ruru ca bursting out with joy, "Young Master Chan, you’ve arrived..."
Gu Chi promptly stepped aside.
An Ruru lunged into the air, missing her target.
She steadied herself against the wall, and upon seeing Gu Chi’s face clearly, she realized that it wasn’t Chan Ke, whom she had been longing to see, but a stranger.
Just as she was about to ask Gu Chi whom he was looking for, she caught sight of Lou Ning from the corner of her eye, and her expression instantly changed.
Her face showed both fear and anger: "Lou Ning? You? Why are you here? You heartless beast, wasn’t it enough that you sent your own father to prison? What else do you want here?"
She scread, retreating several steps back and shouting into the room, "Brother! Brother! Lou Ning is here!"
A few tens of seconds later, An Qiuping ca running out.
The two siblings truly shared a resemblance, with identical expressions on their faces.
An Qiuping looked at Lou Ning with a blend of hatred and anger, "Lou Ning, why are you here? Do you want to completely obliterate us? Let tell you, this is a society ruled by law, you better get out quickly, or I’ll call the police and have you arrested right away!"
Lou Ning chuckled and nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders, "No, no, I’m not here to obliterate anyone. I’m just here to enjoy the show!"
He pointed at Shangguan Lang, "Do you recognize him?"
An Qiuping and An Ruru both turned their gaze to Shangguan Lang.
Their faces turned pale and then purple in shock, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
An Ruru stuttered, "Shang... Shangguan Lang? Why... Why are you with Lou Ning?"
"Good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. It’s not that there is no retribution, but the ti hasn’t co yet!" Shangguan Lang stared at her, his eyes filled with deep-seated hatred, "An Ruru, back then you used your family’s power to ruin my sister, and now it’s finally your turn to lose everything and be destroyed! This is the natural cycle of karma, inexorable retribution!"
An Ruru, ashen-faced, stumbled a few steps backward, shaking her head in desperation, "No, it’s not my fault... I didn’t do anything..."
Shangguan Lang glared at her fiercely, wishing he could tear her into pieces and chew her up!
His sister was beautiful, lovely, kind, and sensible. Even at a young age, she knew how to care for her mother and be considerate to him, taking on singing gigs at bars with him from the age of sixteen to lighten her mother’s load.
When they encountered drunkards who would spout nonsense at her, she wouldn’t get angry but would instead comfort them, saying she treated it as if she was listening to dogs ’barking’.
The ’barking’ of dogs was just noise; there was no need to take it to heart.
Yet it was his thoughtful and adorable sister who, just because she walked ho from school with An Ruru, suffered an unprovoked misfortune, getting pushed out by An Ruru to take the fall.
His sister was tenderhearted and kind, from a poor and destitute family. Whenever she had a little spending money, she wouldn’t use it to buy things for herself, but would instead buy pet food to feed the stray cats and dogs by the roadside.
He sotis teased her for being foolish, but she would just smile gently at him, telling him she believed in karma—that if she kept doing good deeds, her mother and brother would surely be healthy and everything would go well; their lives would definitely be peaceful and smooth.
Such was the silly girl: with no money or new clothes, ridiculed by jealous girls, yet she remained calm and strong, living her life with laughter and joy.
He had never t a better girl than his sister, but his wonderful sister ca terrifyingly close to being separated from him forever.
If he hadn’t been lucky that day, encountering a mber of the Gu Family who needed a desperate gigolo willing to do anything for money, he wouldn’t have earned the funds for his sister’s dical expenses, and she might not even be in this world anymore.
