Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Qin Sijue’s… Brother?

However, she still managed a friendly smile and answered Gu Qiangwei’s question, “You mean Sijue? He’s my husband’s younger brother.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiangwei was taken aback.

No wonder she thought there was some resemblance between the two, but Qin Sijue had a brother? Wasn’t he an only child? Or was everything his grandfather had told her a lie?

“Qin Sijue’s… brother?” she blurted out, momentarily forgetting her own identity.

Her stunned expression did not escape Feng Jinglei’s notice.

Even Qin Feimo, standing to the side, noticed the disbelief that spread across her pale face.

It seemed like she recognized Sijue and knew he had no brother.

“You know Sijue?” Qin Feimo asked.

Gu Qiangwei came to her senses, quickly lowered her head, her gaze flickering away.

“No, I… I’ve just seen some reports about him in magazines.”

With that, Qin Feimo naturally assumed she was just one of the many women smitten with Qin Sijue, which explained her surprised reaction.

Feng Jinglei also noticed her astonishment and explained with a smile, “He’s a cousin brother.”

At that, Gu Qiangwei looked up, “Cousin brother?”

“Yes, my father-in-law is Sijue’s elder uncle.”

With this explanation, Gu Qiangwei finally understood.

But what followed was a heavy sense of worry.

If they were Qin Sijue’s brother and sister-in-law, wouldn’t they tell Qin Sijue about meeting her?

Well, even if they told him, Qin Sijue wouldn’t know, after all, she was no longer Gu Qiangwei, but Gu Weiwei.

As long as she wasn’t seen by Qin Sijue, no matter what Miss Feng and Mr. Qin said, Qin Sijue probably wouldn’t notice her existence.

Thinking this way, Gu Qiangwei breathed a sigh of relief.

.

After a busy day that lasted until dusk, Gu Qiangwei finally finished her day’s work and returned to Huo Yishan’s villa.

She was grateful for knowing Huo Yishan. In the half-month since leaving Qin Sijue, without her, she might not even have a place to live.

From online to real life, the friendship between the two girls seemed to grow stronger, almost like best friends with no secrets!

Not only that, but beyond the villa, Huo Yishan had also provided her with a small sedan, a white Audi A4, which made her daily commute much easier.

Just as she entered the living room, her phone rang; it was Huo Yishan calling.

Although this was her private villa, she did have family, and today being the weekend, she was supposed to have dinner with them.

“Hello?”

Huo Yishan hadn’t hired any staff for her comfort, so there were only the two of them in the entire villa.

So once back, Gu Qiangwei went straight towards the kitchen, planning to make dinner.

“Honey, I won’t be back for dinner tonight, eat more for me, okay!”

“Okay,” Gu Qiangwei laughed.

After hanging up, dinner for one was simpler; she didn’t cook but instead boiled a bowl of frozen dumplings.

After dinner and a bath, Gu Qiangwei finally lay comfortably in bed.

She felt tired after running around all day, but as she lay down and prepared to close her eyes to sleep, Qin Sijue’s figure filled her mind.

As if thinking of something, she suddenly sat up and took a familiar rose gold phone out of the bedside table.

This phone was a gift from Qin Sijue.

Now, she had changed all her numbers.

The original number had been turned off on the night she pretended to fall into the sea.
