Chapter 343: Chapter 344: The Last Fruit-flavored Chapter 343: Chapter 344: The Last Fruit-flavored After hearing her mother’s words, Huo Yishan pouted.
So she wasn’t born to the legal wife, yet that Nangong Feifei dares to be so arrogant!
“Alright, get up quickly, otherwise it won’t look good when the guests arrive and see you still in bed!”
“Mhm!” Huo Yishan nodded.
Shu Yulan got up and left.
Just as Shu Yulan was about to leave, Huo Yishan seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly raised her head to call out to her.
Shu Yulan turned around, “What is it?”
“I have a friend coming over later as well!”
Upon hearing this, Shu Yulan frowned, “Is it that Weiwei you always talk about?”
“Oh, that’s perfect, then. We four can just make up a mahjong table!” Shu Yulan, having nothing better to do, often invited a few ladies over for tea and chat, and if the mood struck, they would play a round of mahjong.
“You play on your own. Qiangwei and I don’t know how!”
After speaking, Huo Yishan stopped paying attention to her mother and got out of bed to go into the bathroom.
On the other side, Gu Qiangwei, who had just ended the phone call with Huo Yishan, thought that since it was her first visit to Huo Yishan’s family, she decided to buy some fruit and pastries to take with her.
Walking into a cake shop, she spotted a delicate cheesecake and asked the clerk for it.
“Please wrap this one up for me.”
“Sure, just one moment, please.”
The clerk smiled at her and began packing the cake.
Meanwhile, a man and a woman walked in from the entrance.
“Boss Gu, the cheesecakes here are super delicious.”
“Is that so? Then have a lot of it later.” Gu Shijie glanced sideways, looking fondly at the coquettish woman by his side.
Taking advantage of his doting affection, the woman snuggled even closer to him, almost wishing to burrow completely into his embrace and become one with him.
It was not until the man’s voice sounded that Gu Qiangwei, standing in front of the counter, stiffened suddenly. That voice, she would recognize it even in ashes.
With her brows slightly furrowed, she turned her head and, sure enough, saw Gu Shijie walking over with a heavily made-up woman in his arms.
“I want a fruit-flavored cheesecake!”
The woman spoke up as soon as they approached.
Seeing her, the clerk apologized, “I’m sorry, the last fruit-flavored one was just bought by this lady here.”
Following the clerk’s gaze, Gu Shijie also saw Gu Qiangwei standing there.
Seeing her, Gu Shijie seemed somewhat surprised. With his brows lightly knit and a look of puzzlement mixed with a hint of suggestiveness, his gaze fell on Gu Qiangwei’s face.
He raised his eyebrows and curved his lips into a smile, calling out “Qiangwei,” but it made Gu Qiangwei furrow her brow.
Although she had never liked her younger brother, in public, he would always call her “sister.” Yet today, he called her by her name, which was quite unexpected.
But Gu Qiangwei did not respond to him and instead turned away to wait for the clerk to finish packing the cheesecake.
In the past, she did not acknowledge this brother of hers, and now, she was even less likely to do so!
Because, Gu Zhendong was not her biological father after all. Besides sharing the surname, she and the Gu Family had long since had no relation whatsoever.
“But I want it, too! I’ll pay double the price. Sell the fruit-flavored one to me!”
The woman by Gu Shijie’s side said determinedly to the clerk, setting her sights on the already packaged cake.
“But…” Hearing the overbearing tone of the customer, the clerk hesitated slightly, casting an embarrassed glance at Gu Qiangwei.
For them, customers were gods, and naturally, they did not want to offend anybody.
But there was an order to things, and what was sold to this lady could not simply be sold to another.
“Boss Gu, I really want to eat this. Can we buy it for double the price?”
