Xinghao.
Michelin restaurant.
Geng Long accompanied Song Chaoge for breakfast.
“Has Young Master Guo not woken up yet?”
“He’s much more disciplined than both of us.”
Song Chaoge laughed.
Logically speaking, scions like Guo Anle should succumb to the vices of arrogance and debauchery, since they’re destined from birth to never face any financial pressures.
Yet in actuality, even in his daily routine, Guo Anle is quite proper, getting up on ti the next day even if he played in the casino until late the night before.
Perhaps this is the fundantal difference between prestigious and influential families and the nouveau riche.
“He went to visit the fourth wife.”
Hearing this, Geng Long suddenly realized and laughed as well, “If Young Master Guo can truly end up with Miss He, it would surely beco a beautiful tale.”
Song Chaoge seed indifferent, “These kinds of matters also depend on fate.
They can’t be forced.”
Geng Long nodded, understanding the underlying aning of those words thoroughly.
One must always be prepared for any outco.
If the young master of the Guo Family could end up with Miss He, it would certainly be a perfect developnt, which was also the fundantal purpose of Young Master Song bringing Guo along to Haojiang.
But one cannot put all their eggs in one basket.
“Accompany to et with He Shou later.
Whether he is willing to see visitors at this ti or not, we must show our stance.
It’s a matter of courtesy,” Song Chaoge said.
Even with little real power, after all, that was the highest authority in Haojiang.
At the sa ti.
This also signified Young Master Song’s high regard for him.
Geng Long, who did not show his emotions, humd in agreent, feeling even more certain about his decision.
“Mada, this is a little sothing I found at the Zhouji Jewelry store.
The owner said it was one of a kind.
I’m not knowledgeable about jewelry, so it’s aningless for to keep it.
You are soone who cherishes treasures, so this item will have the best ho with you.”
In the fourth mansion.
The polite Guo Anle handed over an antique jewelry box.
The box alone, made of golden Phoebe wood, signified its value.
“I appreciate it.”
The fourth wife certainly was no stranger to worldly things, not in a hurry to open the box, and without any false pleasantries, let the maid take the gift away.
They’re both from prestigious and influential families; at this stage, there’s no need for pretense.
After all, refusing is out of the question; it’s better to accept graciously.
“Have you eaten?
I’ll have…”
“Thank you, Mada, I ate at the hotel already.”
Guo Anle looked around, then naturally asked, “How is Yi Hui doing?”
“She’s probably still sleeping.”
The fourth wife clearly understood the real purpose behind his visit and sighed with a helpless look, “The child has been spoiled since young.”
“It’s good for girls to sleep more; it’s beneficial for their skin.”
The fourth wife chuckled upon hearing this, teasing, “I didn’t expect you to know about such things.”
Guo Anle smiled modestly.
“Call Miss down, tell her there are visitors at ho.”
The fourth wife then instructed the maid.
If it were Shi Qianxi, faced with soone she didn’t care to deal with, she probably wouldn’t give anyone face, but Yi Hui was apparently different from Miss Shi in so ways.
More than ten minutes later, she ca downstairs.
Jeans, a knitted sweater, and for convenience, her long hair was casually tied with a rubber band—an incredibly simple outfit.
Walking on the street, probably no one would guess she was the He Family’s heiress, but she still managed to catch Guo Anle’s eye.
“Yi Hui.”
Guo Anle stood up.
The fourth wife noticed this and her smile softened, calling her daughter over, “Co here.
An Le has co to see you specially.”
Yi Hui, who had perfectly inherited her parents’ good genes, ca over.
“Long ti no see.”
Guo Anle smiled, “Long ti no see.”
One couldn’t deny that visually, the two seed quite well-matched.
“An Le, I have a little errand, I’m afraid I have to step out.” The fourth wife apologized.
Guo Anle promptly said, “That’s okay, please go ahead with your business.”
“Yi Hui, entertain the guest well.”
The fourth wife instructed her daughter.
Yi Hui silently nodded.
With a smile toward Guo Anle, the fourth wife left, giving the two young people space.
“Did you have breakfast?”
Yi Hui asked.
Guo Anle, who had just told the fourth wife that he had eaten, now changed his story, shaking his head, “Not yet.”
Without needing Yi Hui to give any instructions, the maid imdiately went to notify the kitchen.
“Let’s sit in the dining room.”
Yi Hui’s attitude was not enthusiastic but not cold either, appropriately reflecting their acquaintance status.
“Why did you suddenly co to Haojiang?”
“Brother Song said he wanted to co to Haojiang, so I joined him on the trip just for fun.”
They sat opposite each other at a white dining table.
“So many people have co to Haojiang lately,” Yi Hui murmured softly.
Guo Anle looked at her, pausing before speaking, “Is your family prepared?”
“Family matters aren’t my concern,” Yi Hui answered, her stunningly exotic face showing little emotion.
Both were dragon and phoenix among people, born of prestigious families; there was no need for secrecy in certain matters.
“But you are, after all, part of the He Family; you can’t detach yourself from it.”
Facing Guo Anle’s gaze, Yi Hui smiled, “What can I do?
Even if I want to help, my hands are tied.”
“I might be able to help you.”
Guo Anle’s eyes were sincere.
Yi Hui’s expression remained unchanged as she asked, “How so?”
“What you lack now is capital.
I can try to persuade my family.
Maybe my family alone isn’t enough to help you overco this difficulty, but there are other families in Gangcheng.”
“These issues should be discussed with my aunts.
Didn’t you et with them yesterday?
Didn’t things go well?”
