Rebirth: Regaining Joyful Moments-Chapter 1163 - 1165: Can I Still Call You Sister?

"Fei Jiayi, can you not bring it up?" Liao Jinling wasn’t hung up on that scumbag, but rather felt ashamed.

She believed she had found love, but who knew that person was a complete liar.

"You brought it up first," Fei Jiayi retorted while dodging, the studio was quite lively.

If it wasn’t for a customer coming in, this lively atmosphere would probably have continued.

After Xu Nianhua finished up in the studio, with some time to spare, she decided to take a stroll in the street, planning to add some greenery to the new home, which would make it feel warmer and more vibrant.

Before she even reached the flower and bird market, a familiar figure caught her eye.

She halted her steps and took a closer look, was that person sketching portraits at the street corner Gu Mingcheng?

However, his clothes no longer looked like they used to, understated yet costly, now he wore a flowered shirt, black trousers, and his hair seemed uncut for a while, slightly longer than most men’s. Compared to two years ago, Gu Mingcheng looked quite destitute.

So down-and-out that Xu Nianhua hardly recognized him. What had he been through these past two years?

"Gu Mingcheng?" Xu Nianhua looked for a long while before she could confirm it was truly Gu Mingcheng.

Focused on his drawing, Gu Mingcheng’s hand jerked upon hearing the familiar voice, and the nearly complete portrait was ruined in an instant.

Gu Mingcheng didn’t even dare to turn around; he just got up and ran.

"Gu Mingcheng, don’t run!"

Xu Nianhua chased after him without a second thought. Although she exercised regularly, Gu Mingcheng ran too fast and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye. She could only rely on instinct to search.

"Gu Mingcheng, come out."

Xu Nianhua called out, watching the ebb and flow of people as she anxiously searched, eventually stopping to say, "Gu Mingcheng, I know you’re hiding. Why don’t you want to see me?"

"Gu Mingcheng?"

Xu Nianhua called for a long time, but there was no sign of Gu Mingcheng; in the end, she could only leave helplessly.

Behind a wall, Gu Mingcheng crouched in a corner, secretly watching Xu Nianhua, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"If you want to see me so much, why are you hiding?"

Xu Nianhua stood before Gu Mingcheng, pulling a handkerchief from her pocket to offer it, saying, "If you dislike me that much, I’ll pretend I didn’t see you."

With that, Xu Nianhua turned and walked away.

"I don’t dislike you," Gu Mingcheng said, choking up. "It’s just that it’s us who owe you."

He knew about Xu Nianhua nearly being kidnapped, and even more so that Xu Nianhua was not his biological sister; it was the Gu Family that wronged Xu Nianhua, and he was too ashamed to face her.

"The ones who owe me are your parents and your sister, it’s got nothing to do with you." Xu Nianhua said quietly. Whether it was Gu Hai or Fang Yue, or Gu Mingzhu, they were the ones who truly hurt her, it had nothing to do with Gu Mingcheng.

Gu Mingcheng even cut ties with the Gu Family for her, let alone past lives, he had helped her too.

"But they are all my closest family." When Gu Mingcheng said this, he felt a twinge in his heart. How did it come to this?

Xu Nianhua remained silent; she didn’t want to talk about the Gu Family.

"Can I still call you sister?" Gu Mingcheng raised his head, feeling a sense of inferiority in the face of the radiant Xu Nianhua, thinking his past two years had been spent in confusion.
