Her silly self really wanted to throw those words back at Dong Tong.
Damn it, doesn’t she realize she’s been a shiniest third wheel all day?
anwhile, Xu Ziqiao, driving in the front, glanced at the two through the rearview mirror and quickly swept his gaze over Gu Tiantian’s face.
Pretending he didn’t hear anything, he continued driving attentively.
They arrived at Jinxin Courtyard, and Gu Tiantian got off at the entrance of the neighborhood.
"Tiantian, wanna invite us up?"
Dong Tong grinned, looking at Gu Tiantian with great anticipation.
Gu Tiantian froze, forgetting about that, and quickly opened her mouth, but Xu Ziqiao beat her to it.
"Tongtong, have you forgotten what ti it is now?"
Dong Tong froze, instantly deflated.
"Oh, Tiantian, maybe next ti. I have to go ho for dinner, or else my mom will turn into a female monk chanting my head off."
Seeing Dong Tong like this, Gu Tiantian couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
"Alright, then, take care on your way back!"
Dong Tong grinned again, quickly got in the car, sat in the passenger seat, waved to Gu Tiantian, and only looked at Xu Ziqiao when he couldn’t see her anymore.
"What’s up? You don’t seem very happy."
Dong Tong affird heavily, more than just unhappy.
"I spent the whole afternoon, and yet didn’t manage to get a single useful piece of information from Tiantian’s mouth."
Xu Ziqiao asked her while driving, smiling.
"The useful things you an, are they related to Mr. Bai?"
Dong Tong nodded again, feeling a bit low.
"Yeah, every ti I bring up this topic, Tiantian diverts the conversation."
Dong Tong tilted her head, furrowing her brows, clearly very puzzled.
"Could it be that we actually have the wrong person?"
Without waiting for Xu Ziqiao to speak, Dong Tong quickly shook her head.
"That’s impossible. I overheard my parents talking before, and the situation they ntioned is exactly the sa as Tiantian’s, and Tiantian’s grandmother passed away from a heart condition, so she got lost in thought after hearing Li Jia also had heart problems during the day."
Xu Ziqiao couldn’t help but smile, his voice gentle and pleasant.
"It’s rare you notice these detailed things."
Dong Tong glared, very dissatisfied.
"Do you also think I’m rough and clumsy?"
Xu Ziqiao shook his head with a smile, dotingly.
"Just teasing you!"
"Then tell , how did you ask her about your cousin?"
Dong Tong furrowed her brows, blinked her eyes, thought for a mont, and spoke slowly.
"I asked her if she had a boyfriend, and she shook her head."
Dong Tong looked at Xu Ziqiao, very puzzled, starting to doubt her judgent again.
"Could it really be the sa na but different person?"
Xu Ziqiao smiled kindly and spoke slowly.
"You guys just t, it’s expected she might not be entirely truthful."
Noticing the flash of disappointnt in Dong Tong’s eyes, Xu Ziqiao quickly explained.
"Maybe, it’s not that she’s not being truthful, but rather... her relationship with Mr. Bai is not what we imagined."
Dong Tong wasn’t having it, glaring at Xu Ziqiao.
"How’s that possible, what my parents said can’t be fake, right?"
Xu Ziqiao kept smiling, his handso, gentle face soft and doting.
"Nah, there might be many things we don’t know. Don’t guess too much, you’ll see her again in school tomorrow, right? Over ti, what won’t you know?"
Dong Tong also thought so. Rather than guessing around, she might as well just get along well with Gu Tiantian.
