Chapter 1184: I’m So Glad!
Gu Qingcheng’s eyes reddened slightly as he pulled the young lady into his embrace once again and brought her to the sofa.
Gu Qingcheng helped Yun Liuli sit down as she had hit her head earlier. He crouched down and moved her hair to one side to check her forehead. Thankfully, she didn’t hit her head too badly, but the red mark on her fair skin still looked alarming.
Gu Qingcheng sighed and called Sheng Kang, telling him that Yun Liuli had too much to drink and was asleep on the sofa in his hotel room. He needed Sheng Kang to help get someone to send her back!
Sheng Kang wasn’t surprised to hear this. Over the phone, he asked Jacob Bellucci to help take care of Yun Liuli first and said that he would be there immediately.
Sheng Kang was once Gu Qingcheng’s trusted henchman. Now, Yun Liuli was drunk and had ended up in Jacob Bellucci’s hotel room. After informing Fu Huai’an, he quickly drove to the hotel.
Lin Nuan was one step ahead of Sheng Kang. When Sheng Kang walked out of the elevator, she was already standing outside room 2026 with You Nainai while wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses.
When Sheng Kang saw Lin Nuan, he quickened his steps and jogged towards her to greet her. “Mrs. Fu!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
At this point, Gu Qingcheng had already opened the door…
With his black-framed glasses, it was really as if he had become Jacob Bellucci. His gaze was cold and wary as he looked at Lin Nuan, and he had no intention of speaking first.
“Hello, I’m here to pick up Liuli!” After making clear her purpose in coming, Lin Nuan continued, “I apologize… the child and your… your brother were dependent on each other ever since she was young. She couldn’t take it when she heard that Gu Qingcheng had passed away, and since you look so much like him, she… she must have thought you were him!”
Lin Nuan said those words with much difficulty, sounding as if she really felt sad for Yun Liuli.
Jacob Bellucci looked at Sheng Kang…
“This is Mr. Fu’s wife. You might not have noticed her at the funeral today. When Mr. Gu wasn’t around… Miss Liuli was placed in Mrs. Fu’s care!” Sheng Kang explained to Jacob Bellucci.
Jacob Bellucci then calmly stepped aside…
Lin Nuan saw Yun Liuli lying down on the sofa with her head hung over the edge of the sofa. She took off her gloves and passed them to You Nainai as she walked into the room hurriedly. “Liuli!”
Yun Liuli really had too much to drink. She was lying down on the sofa and had puked all over the carpet…
Ignoring the stench, Lin Nuan sat beside Yun Liuli and gently held back her hair. She tucked Yun Liuli’s hair behind her ears with her fingers before pulling out two tissues to dab at Yun Liuli’s mouth. “Are you alright? I’m Sister Xiao Nuan. I’ve come to pick you up…”
“Sister Xiao Nuan…” Yun Liuli mumbled before crying out softly, “I saw Gu Qingcheng… I saw him! He’s back… he didn’t die, right? Sister Xiao Nuan…”
Sheng Kang stood at the side and quietly glanced at Jacob Bellucci, whose brows were furrowed tightly. When he went to Venice and saw him for the first time, he was also extremely shocked.
He knew Jacob Bellucci and Gu Qingcheng were brothers, but he didn’t think… that both of them would look so similar!
But, at the same time, Jacob Bellucci and Gu Qingcheng weren’t exactly identical…
Both of them had different auras. One exuded a gloomy feeling that made people want to stay away from him!
The other exuded an air of nobility and dominance that made others subconsciously terrified at the sight of him.
Sheng Kang looked at Yun Liuli and sighed internally…
They were aware of Yun Liuli’s feelings towards Gu Qingcheng. It was normal for her to be unable to accept his death… She probably treated Jacob Bellucci as Gu Qingcheng because she was drunk and couldn’t control her feelings, so she went there in a drunken fit.
You Nainai passed a hot towel to Lin Nuan, who used it to wipe Yun Liuli’s face. She tucked her hair behind her ears and held onto You Nainai as she got up. Both of them then carefully avoided Yun Liuli’s vomit on the floor.
Lin Nuan looked at Jacob Bellucci and said, “Sorry that Liuli dirtied your room, Mr. Jacob Bellucci. I’ll talk to the hotel staff and ask them to change your hotel room. We’re really sorry for disturbing you!”
Jacob Bellucci remained where he stood and said nothing.
Afraid that the atmosphere in the room would become awkward, Sheng Kang quickly said, “I’m sure Mr. Bellucci won’t mind… We should quickly send Miss Liuli home first!”
Lin Nuan nodded, then smiled apologetically and nodded towards Jacob Bellucci before she and You Nainai helped Yun Liuli out of the room.
Yun Liuli was still drunk and mumbling Gu Qingcheng’s name…
Sheng Kang apologized to Jacob Bellucci before nosily adding, “Do you need me to send you to the airport for your flight tomorrow?”
“No need…” Jacob Bellucci answered him simply.
Sheng Kang only smiled and replied, “It’s only right for me to make arrangements for you in Haicheng since you’re Mr. Gu’s younger brother. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me!”
“The both of us… didn’t even know each other!” Jacob Bellucci’s tone was calm and cold.
Sheng Kang was initially speechless at Jacob Bellucci’s words, but he thought about how Jacob Bellucci was indifferent to kinship and only attended Gu Qingcheng’s funeral because he was curious about this person who was related to him by blood. He then found it easier to accept Jacob Bellucci’s reply.
Lin Nuan and You Nainai helped Yun Liuli into the elevator, with Sheng Kang following behind them.
In the elevator, Sheng Kang explained to Lin Nuan, “Don’t mind Mr. Jacob Bellucci, Mrs. Fu. That’s just how he is. When I met him for the first time and asked him to attend Mr. Gu’s funeral, he rejected me, saying that although they were related by blood, he had never seen Mr. Gu before and didn’t know him!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
The elevator stopped on the 12th floor. Lin Nuan looked down and put on her sunglasses and baseball cap as two young ladies walked into the elevator, noisily discussing Fu Tianci’s newest album.
“The lady in ‘Fake Aristocrat’ is too beautiful. She’s so beautiful that it’s unreal!” said one young lady.
“She’s beautiful, but I still think our Tianyu did a good job with the songwriting! The plot was good as well!” added the other young lady.
“Aaaahhhhhh… I’m so excited. The press conference for Tianyu’s new song is going to be held tomorrow, and I’ll be able to see our darling! I’m so glad!”
It was clear that the two young ladies were there just to meet Fu Tianci.
After they expressed their excitement, the two young ladies grinned and held hands as they faced the mirror in front of them in the elevator.
Their eyes involuntarily looked towards Yun Liuli, whose head was down, then eventually landed on Lin Nuan’s face.
“Ding—”
When the elevator reached the first floor, the two young ladies weren’t in a hurry to leave. They exchanged glances as if they recognized Yun Liuli. They then leaned against the walls of the elevator to allow Lin Nuan to leave first…
Sheng Kang nodded and walked out first. He then used his hand to block the elevator doors as Lin Nuan and You Nainai helped Yun Liuli out of the elevator.
