Chapter 343: Still thinking about her?
Chapter 343: Still thinking about her?
Gu Huaijing extended his hand and said politely, "Long time no see."
Xia Yingqing frowned subconsciously, and seemed dissatisfied with the slightly unfamiliar title of "Miss Xia", but it only lasted for a moment, and she quickly recovered her composure.
It's just that they haven't seen each other for a long time. If they catch up on the past, they will become familiar with each other again in no time.
Gu Huaijing drove the two of them to the Gu family villa in City S. Along the way, Gu Yanyu talked a lot, and Gu Huaijing agreed to everything.
When talking about Xia Yingqing, Gu Yanyu smiled and said, "Qingqing was originally going to stay with her family until she came back in September. My courses ended early during this period, and when she saw that I was just going home, she decided to come back with me."
Gu Huaijing didn't take it to heart: "That's fine."
When we arrived at Gu's house, a servant who had been notified in advance was already standing at the door to help with the luggage.
"Miss, your room has been tidied and the layout is still the same as before." said the butler.
"Oh? So fast." Gu Yanyu asked curiously.
"When you said you were coming back a while ago, the master ordered us to clean up the room."
"Huai Jing, you are thoughtful." Gu Yanyu said with relief, and turned around and gave a few more instructions, "Go to the third floor and clean up another room. Qingqing, since you are back this time, you can stay here with peace of mind."
Xia Yingqing responded with a smile.
Gu Huaijing then realized that Xia Yingqing was not here just to chat, but was going to stay for two days.
It seems that my aunt really likes her very much.
The servant prepared a cup of premium Mingqian Longjing tea for the group and chuckled, "It's been a while since I last saw the young master. It's so nice to be like this."
Gu Yanyu couldn't help but put down the teacup and looked at his grandson: "Huai Jing, haven't you been living at home during this period?"
"...Some of my business is in City A, so I need to live there." Gu Huaijing said calmly without changing his expression, "I will have to go back when the time comes."
"What business is worth your running around for? Come back as soon as you are done." Gu Yanyu said indifferently.
She really felt sorry for her nephew.
His father and elder brother passed away early, and it was the little Gu Huaijing who managed to keep the Gu Group going.
Xia Yingqing changed the subject at the right time: "My father loves Longjing tea the most. It's hard to find such authentic ones abroad. I'm lucky enough to have it today."
"If you like it, drink more. I remember that this tea was bought by Huai Jing." Gu Yanyu smiled again, "Qingqing, I don't know what major you studied in college."
"Aunt, I majored in finance."
"That would be great. Let Huai Jing share his experience with you."
Gu Huaijing, who was drinking tea, was inexplicably called and paused slightly.
Except for business needs, Gu Huaijing doesn't like to communicate too much with strangers.
My aunt knew his character, yet she tried so hard to bring them closer. Gu Huaijing vaguely felt that she was too enthusiastic.
"Finance also has many detailed classifications. I don't know which one Miss Xia specializes in." Gu Huaijing said lightly.
Seeing Gu Huaijing's indifferent reaction, Xia Yingqing guessed about 70% of what he meant, but didn't care much.
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn from Brother Huai Jing in the future."
After chatting for a few words, Xia Yingqing stood up and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."
After Gu Yanyu watched the people walk away, he said to Gu Huaijing: "Huaijing, you are too cold. Qingqing has a good impression of you, why don't you talk to her more? Speaking of which, you two are childhood sweethearts."
Gu Huaijing didn't spend a very long time with her. She was just a lively little girl in his childhood, not a childhood sweetheart.
He said calmly: "Aunt, we are just ordinary friends. It's not like we have any good or bad feelings towards each other."
In one sentence, he made his position clear.
"I'm not forcing you, I just want you to get to know Qingqing better. Even if you start as friends, you're childhood playmates, so you should be closer than others." Gu Yanyu knew that his nephew was opinionated, so he paused and said, "Or do you already have someone in your heart?"
Gu Huaijing shook his head: "Nothing, aunt, don't worry about it."
"How can I not worry? To be honest, I came back this time for your lifelong event. You are the only one in the Gu family now. How long do you plan to stay alone?" Gu Yanyu came closer to look at him, "Since there is no newcomer, it means you are still thinking about the old one."
She lowered her voice and said, "You're not still thinking about your ex-wife, are you?"
Gu Huaijing paused, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "Aunt, I am an adult. I can handle my own affairs."
Gu Yanyu watched him grow up, and now she probably knew what he meant.
"I didn't expect you still miss her..."
Gu Yanyu had heard about his absurd marriage with Ning Xi, but was not familiar with the many entanglements between the two. He only knew that Gu Huaijing said that he had let Ning Xi down.
"Anyway, the past is over. Since you're divorced, don't bother with it anymore." Gu Yanyu said decisively, "If your personalities were really compatible, how could you have gotten to the point of divorce? Besides, I heard that she's now the eldest daughter of the Wen family... There's no chance for you two."
"Besides, you two had a bad argument before. Maybe she still blames you in her heart now."
This was too straightforward, and Gu Huaijing couldn't help but frowned slightly: "She is not that kind of person, aunt, don't worry about it."
Xia Yingqing, who was coming out of the bathroom, just heard it and paused.
She knew that Gu Huaijing was divorced, but according to Gu Yanyu, that marriage was a coincidence and there was no need to worry about it.
Now it seems that Gu Huaijing still has feelings for that so-called failed marriage.
I just don’t know who that “ex-wife” is?
……
By the time Xia Yingqing came out, it was almost time for dinner.
Gu Huaijing ordered people to prepare the food in advance. The delicacies on the table were all tailored to Gu Yanyu's taste.
"They are all the food I like." Gu Yanyu was relieved for a moment, then turned around and said, "Oh, I didn't tell him in advance that Qingqing would come too. I wonder if you have any food taboos?"
Xia Yingqing glanced at the dishes and said, "You don't know how difficult it is to eat authentic hometown food abroad. I like it so much, how can I choose?"
Gu Yanyu was very satisfied with her words and actions. The faster she got married, the more she liked him. He put his arm around Gu Yanyu and let her sit next to Gu Huaijing.
