NOVEL NEXT Chapter 108
108 Has A Boyfriend?
The Gu family had a happy dinner.
Seeing that Zhong Yao wanted to go to the washroom, Gu Rou quickly said that she would accompany her.
On the way, Zhong Yao boldly praised, “Cousin, your boyfriend is so handsome! This is the first time I’ve met such a handsome man. He’s a perfect match for you.”
Gu Rou was smug, but she did not show it on her face. She said gently, “It’s alright.”
Zhong Yao asked innocently, “Does Cousin Gu Man have a boyfriend too? Is the Young Master of the Bai Family you mentioned just now her boyfriend?”
Gu Rou could not hide her disdain. “How is that possible? The Bai family is one of the top families in Han City. How can he be her boyfriend? Even if they’re related, he’s just playing around.”
“Oh.”
Zhong Yao thought about how Gu Man treated her coldly and asked, “Does Cousin Gu Man dislike us staying at the Gu Family?”
Gu Rou snorted. “It’s not just you guys. She doesn’t even like the entire Gu family.”
Zhong Yao asked curiously, “Why?”
Gu Rou didn’t want Zhong Yao to have a hundred thousand questions, so she teased her, “Why don’t you ask your Cousin Gu Man?”
“I don’t dare.” Zhong Yao trembled at the thought of Gu Man’s cold face and quickly shook her head.
Seeing how afraid Zhong Yao was, Gu Rou looked down on her even more. Fortunately, she stopped Zhong Yao from asking her questions.
Zhong Yao walked into the cubicle in the washroom. Gu Rou was waiting for her in front of the large mirror at the sink outside.
“Gu Rou?” Someone called her from behind.
Gu Rou turned around. It was Mrs. Zhang with a noble lady standing beside her.
“Auntie, what a coincidence.” Gu Rou went forward to greet her warmly and nodded at the lady.
“This is Mrs. Bai,” Lady Zhang introduced.
Mrs. Bai, Xiang Li, was wearing a purple qipao today with a string of thumb-sized Tahiti black pearls hanging from her collar. She had a smile on her lips and looked amiable, but no one dared to offend her.
“Hello, Mrs. Bai,” Gu Rou greeted with a smile.
“Is this the girlfriend of your son you were talking about?” Mrs. Bai asked.
“That’s her.” Mrs. Zhang nodded.
“No wonder your son likes her so much,” Mrs. Bai said with a smile.
“It’s good that he likes her. I won’t interfere,” Mrs. Zhang said humbly.
“Young people have their own thoughts. It would only be more chaotic if the older generation interferes. Look at my son. I don’t care about him. When I care about him he doesn’t like it.”
As Mrs. Bai spoke, she started to laugh. Mrs. Zhang immediately smiled and said, “How can my son compare to Young Master Bai? I don’t care about him, he’s already causing a ruckus.”
The two of them started talking about their son.
After saying a few words, she realized that Gu Rou had been neglected. Mrs. Bai quickly asked, “Miss Gu Rou, are you waiting for someone?”
“Yes, I’m waiting for my cousin. She just came to Han City two days ago. I only had time to bring them out for a meal today,” Gu Rou said. She was just making the purpose of this meal sound completely different.
“No wonder Zhang Yue said that you guys are eating here too. So you’re treating your relatives to a meal,” Madam Yue said in realization.
“Yes, my aunt just left her hometown, so we brought them to eat something that their hometown doesn’t usually have. We’re a family. I just hope that they can eat and stay well in Han City.”
Mrs. Bai was touched by Gu Rou’s words. “Look, Gu Rou is young, but she’s very humane. She doesn’t despise her relatives from her hometown. She’s a good child.”
Mrs. Zhang smiled and nodded, her face full of relief.
“That’s what I like about Gu Rou. She’s really like her name. She’s usually gentle and polite.”
After hearing Gu Rou’s words, Mrs. Zhang removed some of the grudges she had two days ago.
“You’re lucky. My Bai Yun is still like a child. I wonder what kind of person he’ll bring back.”
Mrs. Bai had just said that she didn’t care about her son. Now that she saw that someone else’s son had someone he liked, she couldn’t help but worry about her son.
“Your Young Master Bai doesn’t have to worry. With a wave of his hand, all the girls in Han City will follow him,” Mrs. Zhang comforted her jokingly.
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she laughed. “You’re exaggerating. He doesn’t know how to be serious all day. Which girl would like him?”
