Chapter 885: A Down-to-Earth Person
Lin Gantang stood in front of the new car looking through photos, guessing her brother Lin Zhaonan’s reaction, she chuckled: “Beautiful.”
Jiang Tongtong heard her and thought she was complimenting the sports car, saying, “Tangtang, do you like it? Want to drive? I’ll go get the car keys for you.”
“I’m afraid my brother would be heartbroken.” Lin Gantang put away her phone.
“But isn’t the purpose of buying a car to drive it?”
Letting his own sister drive it, what’s the big deal, Jiang Tongtong said, “Or do you like something else? I’ll bring all the keys, you pick your favorite; there’s no point in having so many cars at home.”
Lin Gantang laughed heartily, wanting to pinch Jiang Tongtong’s earnest face.
She figured out how to casually take her brother’s precious car.
But she didn’t make a move, afraid that Lin Zhaonan would grab a knife and come back from the company. She said with a smile, “My brother’s car is like your lipstick, can never have too many.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tongtong said, “I do mind, I only have two lipsticks, just to give me a bit of color when I go out.”
“…, Are two enough?” Lin Gantang thought about her own full rack of lipsticks.
“Enough, I only have one mouth.”
Lin Gantang: Sister-in-law is a practical person.
She got Jiang Tongtong into the Porsche, fastened the seatbelt, “I know where to go after the concert, how could two lipsticks be enough? You said two lipsticks are enough!”
She lamented, exasperated, “Just like the one we just saw, bare car is at least thirty million, he spends thirty million, and you only have two lipsticks?! I suspect you’ve been mistreated.”
The passenger seat’s Jiang Tongtong: “Not…”
“How about you sleep with me tonight?” Lin Gantang suddenly said.
The topic changed so suddenly, Jiang Tongtong didn’t catch up, already nodding obediently with her purse in hand: “Eh? Okay, sure.”
They arrived smoothly at their destination, Lin Gantang parked the car, and they walked shoulder to shoulder into the building.
Just as they entered the building, a black business van came to a stop.
Mrs. Gu adjusted her dress as she got out of the van, ready to leave.
Gu Zhichuan spoke up, “You forgot your bag.”
Mrs. Gu immediately turned back, “I can’t fight aging, losing things here and there as I get older.”
Mrs. Gu took her bag and noticed the beautiful Porsche beside her, she muttered, “Look at you, so many nice cars at home, yet you choose to ride in a business van, not at all classy. Good thing I didn’t go with my old friends.”
Gu Zhichuan’s expression was indifferent: “I was going to work, not for fun, merely giving you a ride on the way, Mother.”
“Whatever you say is right.”
After Mrs. Gu walked away with small steps, the Porsche across the street caught Gu Zhichuan’s eyes, and his gaze sharpened.
“Wait.”
Mrs. Gu stopped again, turning around with confusion.
“Are there any tickets left?” Gu Zhichuan asked.
“Yes, your dad refused to come, leaving one extra,” said Mrs. Gu. “Why are you asking this?”
Gu Zhichuan spoke a few words to his assistant Feng Jin, then got out of the van, “I’ll accompany you.”
“You changed your mind? Weren’t you busy with work?” Mrs. Gu grumbled, but seeing her son take long strides and quickly walk in front of her, she called out urgently, “Wait for me, it hasn’t started yet, what’s the hurry.”
The mother and son took their seats according to the numbers, Mrs. Gu clutching her expensive purse on her lap, started murmuring, “If I’d known you’d agree to come, I’d have arranged for Mrs. Zhong to bring her daughter, have you two meet; the girl just graduated from university abroad, majoring in art appreciation, very classy, and a good match for you in every way.”
“I’m not going to any matchmaking,” Gu Zhichuan rejected coldly.
“Why not? You were willing before. You’re not young anymore, it’s time to settle down,” Mrs. Gu was dissatisfied.
Gu Zhichuan remained silent, ignoring her question.
