Chapter 696: 696: Seeing Yuk Weiyin Again

Having recognized the woman, Gu Zhiqi gently raised his eyebrows and fixed his gaze upon her, giving her attire a quick once-over.

It must have been her whom he saw in the corridor outside the concert hall restroom.

His lips curved into a faint smile, and he regarded the woman before him with a lazy amusement, “Big sister, we meet again.”

Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s well-behaved yet indolent demeanor, Yuk Weiyin was slightly taken aback before she asked, “How come you are here?”

“Can’t I be here?” Gu Zhiqi leaned against the washstand and looked back at Yuk Weiyin.

Upon hearing this, the smile on Yuk Weiyin’s lips remained unchanged, and she spoke in a gentle tone, “Sister didn’t mean that, just didn’t expect to encounter you here.”

Before Gu Zhiqi could respond, Yuk Weiyin added, “I heard you went back to Yueqi Village, so I’m a bit surprised to see you in the Imperial Capital.”

Clearly, Yuk Weiyin was still unaware of the fact that Gu Zhiqi had been taken back to the Gu Family.

“Is that so.” Gu Zhiqi replied with a casual smile, looking somewhat carefree.

Seeing this, Yuk Weiyin’s smile deepened, and her gaze softened as it fell upon Gu Zhiqi, “Did you come to eat alone?”

“Weiwei, who are you talking to?”

Before Gu Zhiqi could answer, a male voice sounded close by.

At the sound, Yuk Weiyin immediately turned towards the source and spoke warmly, “It’s my sister.”

“Sister?” the man repeated in a low voice, puzzled, then shifted his gaze to Gu Zhiqi.

Upon getting a clear look at Gu Zhiqi, a flicker of admiration passed through the man’s eyes.

Standing beside the washstand and washing his hands, he turned his head to Gu Zhiqi, “How come I never heard you had another sister?”

Feeling the man’s gaze, Gu Zhiqi turned her head and took a quick glance.

The man was neatly dressed in a suit, handsome, looking to be in his late twenties.

Gu Zhiqi simply glanced at him, then diverted her eyes.

While Gu Zhiqi looked away, the man did not avert his gaze, staring intently at her.

Noticing this, Yuk Weiyin’s eyebrows knit together so subtly it was nearly imperceptible, but she quickly resumed her smile and stepped closer to the man, draping her arm over his as she explained, “She’s the biological sister who was brought up by my father.”

Having Yuk Weiyin’s arm around him, the man’s attention returned fully to her, “Biological sister?”

Murmuring to himself and reflecting for a moment, he soon furrowed his brows.

Yuk Weiyin rarely mentioned her biological father or siblings to him, but he still knew a bit about her former family.

Zhang Xiuli, the new madame of the Yuk Family, was indeed a “celebrity” in Yan City’s upper social circles.

In the fancy circles of Yan City, there were all sorts of rumors about her, especially lately, when the rumors about her had been particularly rife.

He couldn’t avoid knowing about it even if he wanted to.

And among those rumors were mentions of her other two children.

It was said that her son was a wayward youth who knew nothing but fighting and brawling, and her biological daughter was rumored to be the Sea City Gu Family’s fake heiress who’d been raised for seventeen years.

The Sea City Gu Family, that was a flagship clan of the wealthiest in Sea City.

Originally, when the news spread that the fake heiress had been raised in the Gu Family from a young age, the Yuk Family intended for Zhang Xiuli to bring her daughter over to the Yuk Family’s home.

However, it was rumored the fake heiress caused too much trouble, even the Gu Family couldn’t handle her and wanted to kick her out of the house, which led the Yuk Family to drop the idea. They also reprimanded Zhang Xiuli, insisting that she manage the situation well and never allow her to cling onto the Yuk Family.

So, this girl in front of him is the Sea City Gu Family’s fake heiress?
