After picking up Gu Zhiqi, Gu Ling didn’t take her to Moon Falling Bay Villa District or to ngyang Entertainnt, but instead went to Shadow Pavilion.
Gu ngyang had arranged to et Qin Minglang here later, so he asked Gu Ling to bring Gu Zhiqi over first, planning to have a al here afterwards.
Gu Zhiqi and Gu Ling waited by the elevator for a short while before the elevator doors opened.
Inside stood three people, two won and one man.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, the three walked out, but when the two won exiting the elevator saw Gu Zhiqi’s face, they both stopped in their tracks.
"Gu Zhiqi?!"
"Qiqi?"
One voice was sharp and piercing, the other gentle and kind.
Upon hearing her na, Gu Zhiqi looked up at the two speaking. Once she recognized them, her eyebrows raised slightly.
The ones erging from the elevator were Zhang Xiuli, Yuk Weiyin, and a man she didn’t know.
Zhang Xiuli didn’t expect it to really be Gu Zhiqi. Seeing Gu Zhiqi looking up at her, she imdiately spoke in a questioning tone, "What are you doing here? Who let you co?"
They hadn’t seen each other in about three months. Zhang Xiuli had beco much thinner, and her once well-maintained face now bore many wrinkles, unable to conceal her sharp and an disposition.
Gu Zhiqi’s gaze swept over Zhang Xiuli, pausing on her brow for two seconds before quickly looking away, saying, "Mrs. Yuk." Then she glanced at Yuk Weiyin and lazily said, "Long ti no see."
Yuk Weiyin caught the weary laziness in Gu Zhiqi’s tone, hesitating for a mont.
It wasn’t her imagination; Gu Zhiqi’s attitude towards her had indeed changed.
But... why?
She believed she always spoke nicely to Gu Zhiqi whenever they t. So why...
"Can’t you even greet soone politely? Look at what you’re like, is this how the Gu Family taught you..." Zhang Xiuli, seeing Gu Zhiqi like this, was instantly infuriated and began to scold her.
But she was interrupted by Gu Zhiqi before she could finish, "Before teaching others, Mrs. Yuk should take a look at herself first."
"You... what did you say, are you..."
Watching Zhang Xiuli shouting, the young man nearby frowned, glimpsed by Yuk Weiyin accidentally.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly reached out to tug Zhang Xiuli’s arm, interrupting her, "Mom, that’s enough."
Zhang Xiuli listened, visibly displeased, and turned her head to speak to Yuk Weiyin, only to see Yuk Weiyin giving her a look.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiuli’s heart skipped, realizing there were still mbers of the Yuk Family nearby.
Yuk Weiyin didn’t give Zhang Xiuli another chance to speak. Instead, she kindly said to Gu Zhiqi, "Xiao Qi, that’s just how Mom is, don’t take it to heart."
Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Oh."
Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s indifference, Yuk Weiyin felt slightly awkward but showed no change in her expression, "What brings you to Yan City?
Gu Zhiqi: "Just sothing to do."
"I see." Yuk Weiyin first said this, rembering they were at Shadow Pavilion, then asked, "Are you here to eat?"
Before Gu Zhiqi could reply, she looked at Gu Ling standing next to her, "Is this gentleman with you? Won’t you introduce him?"
As soon as Yuk Weiyin said this, Zhang Xiuli and the young man beside her focused their attention on Gu Ling.
The young man was nad Yuk Hanxing, the only son of the head of the Yuk Family and Zhang Xiuli’s stepson.
