Sun Da quickly came to his senses, pointed at Sun Jiangman, and asked incredulously, "Big sister, what, what did you say?"
Actually, Sun Jiangman realized something was wrong as soon as she said those words, but she was too lazy to explain and coldly said, "Get in the car. Aren't you in a hurry to attend the conference?"
"But, but..." Sun Da really couldn't understand. Without moving, he said, "You just said, brother-in-law?"
"Did I say that?" Sun Jiangman's pretty face flushed, but it quickly returned to its cold expression. "I don't remember."
Sun Da retorted angrily, "You said it! Uncle Ma Sister-in-law Hua and I both heard it clearly!"
Sun Jiangman opened the car door and said calmly, "If you heard me clearly, you heard me clearly. What's the big deal? If you're not getting in the car, get back to your family!"
Then, Sun Jiangman said to Gu Chen, "What are you still standing there for? Get in the car too!"
Gu Chen smiled and walked over.
Sun Da's face flushed red. He never expected that his elder sister, who had always been aloof towards men and had rejected countless young masters from ancient martial arts families, would actually fall for this young man!
He quickly stepped forward, blocking Gu Chen's path, and roared, "You're the 'brother-in-law' my older sister was talking about?"
Looking at his furious glare, Gu Chen thought Sun Jiangman was his love rival if he didn't know she was his older sister. Gu Chen rubbed his nose and said, "The clothes your sister is wearing look... it seems to be mine."
Damn it!
Sun Da shouted angrily and threw a punch at Gu Chen!
Unexpectedly, this kid attacked without warning. Gu Chen's eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent rose in his heart. However, considering Sun Jiangman's presence, he did not unleash his True Essence Power and neither dodged nor evaded the punch.
With a loud crack, Gu Chen was sent flying by Sun Da, landing on the ground three or four meters away.
What are you doing!
Sun Jiangman had already opened the car door. Upon seeing this scene, she immediately scolded him playfully, then rushed to Gu Chen, helped him up, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Fine."
"Why didn't you dodge?" Sun Jiangman's voice trembled as she looked at the blood spilling from Gu Chen's mouth.
"Isn't he your brother?" Gu Chen smiled slightly, wiped his face, and said, "Letting him hit me won't hurt."
"But right now, you don't have any Inner Breath energy to protect you..." Sun Jiangman a pang of pain in her heart. She hadn't even realized that she had unknowingly taken on the identity of Gu Chen's woman!
She stood up, her eyes flashing coldly, and said, "Sun Da, apologize!"
"Apologize?!"
Sun Da was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and glanced at Gu Chen disdainfully, saying, "Big sister, this guy is so useless. He was sent flying after just one punch from me, and he wants me to apologize?"
"I'll give you ten seconds to apologize, or you can go home!" Sun Jiangman declared, displaying the authority of an older sister.
Sun Da looked incredulous and said, "Sis, I'm your own brother! I just punched this guy once, and you're actually sending me home?!"
"... Eight... Seven..." Sun Jiangman didn't answer him, but instead counted down.
Sun Da became even angrier, pointing fiercely at Gu Chen and saying, "Sis, were you bewitched by this kid all night? How could you take his side? This guy isn't even a gigolo, yet you're more worried about him than your own brother!"
"Three... two..."
Sun Jiangman had already counted to the last one, but Sun Da still refused to compromise, stubbornly standing in place with a cold smile.
Gu Chen stood beside the two of them, smiled faintly, and said, "Never mind, this isn't your brother's fault. He's young and immature, and I won't hold it against him."
"But you..." Sun Jiangman hesitated, then stopped herself.
"It's nothing." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Compared to your grievances, this punch is nothing. You won't die."
Sun Jiangman's pretty face flushed, and her heart raced. This was the first time she had felt this way in so long. Feigning composure, she avoided looking at Gu Chen's gaze and asked, "Are you leaving Xiaoxiang Peak?"
"Everything that needed to be taken care of has been taken care of, let's go."
Gu Chen nodded.
Sun Da was furious. Gu Chen was flirting with Sun Jiangman right in front of him, which was utterly disrespectful to him. It was outrageous!
"I'm ignorant?" Sun Da refused to let Gu Chen off the hook, angrily shouting, "Who do you think you are? I'm warning you, stay away from my sister, or I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
"Sun Da!" Sun Jiangman stepped forward and grabbed Sun Da's arm. The shy demeanor she had shown in front of Gu Chen was completely gone, replaced by a frosty expression. "He's already been lenient with you, don't push your luck! If you dare say another word, I really won't be polite!"
This was the first time Sun Jiangman had ever spoken to him so seriously in her entire life. Sun Da felt extremely uncomfortable and trembled with anger. The culprit behind all of this was this kid who had appeared out of nowhere, a good-for-nothing who could be sent flying with a single punch by him, yet his sister was protecting him at every turn!
However, his anger had no outlet, because the next moment Sun Jiangman had already pulled him into the back seat. To avoid further conflict with Gu Chen, Sun Jiangman deliberately sat in the middle seat and invited Gu Chen into the car.
Gu Chen slowly got into the car, then glanced at Sun Da and smiled, "Young Master Sun, hello, could we say we became friends after a fight?"
"Get out of my way!" Sun Da gave him a cold look.
Seeing his behavior, Sun Jiangman was very displeased. "Speak more politely! How can you have no manners at all!"
Sun Da saw the smile in Gu Chen's eyes and felt a surge of hatred, an urge to kill him.
With a faint smile, ignoring Sun Da's murderous glare, Gu Chen leaned back and lay down in the chair.
"Uncle Ma, let's drive," Sun Jiangman. "Let's leave Xiaoxiang Peak."
The driver and passenger seats were occupied by the servants Uncle Ma and Sister-in-law Hua, while Sun Jiangman and her two companions sat in the back. However, Uncle Ma was ultimately just a servant, and although he had doubts, he refrained from asking.
The car started up quickly.
On the way, Sun Jiangman glanced at Gu Chen and saw that he looked exhausted. She then said to Sun Da, "Go over there a bit; he needs to rest."
"Don't I need to rest?" Sun Da said, dissatisfied. "Sis, who exactly is this guy, and what's his relationship with you?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask," Sun Jiangman said coldly. "Past!"
Without saying a word, he pushed Sun Da aside, leaving him with only a tiny bit of space. Originally, the interior of this SUV was quite spacious, but now, Gu Chen's seat became incredibly roomy, while Sun Da's seat was extremely cramped.
Sun Da was extremely frustrated, but dared not vent his anger on Sun Jiangman, so he could only hold Gu Chen responsible for the incident.
