Chapter 217: When will you find me a brother-in-law?
Gu Qjanci’s pupils flashed with a tinge of bitterness as she stared blankly at the delicate and bright face in the mirror, her mind involuntarily conjuring up images of the days when Chi Enen and she were inseparable during their school years. Back then, they were both green and, because they both needed to work, got along very well, willing to share everything with each other. But now… Gu Qjanci felt a bitterness in her mouth, she was very clear in her heart that Chi Enen had already been tolerant enough with her. If it had been herself who was betrayed and drugged by a good friend, upon meeting again she might have pounced directly and viciously fought to vent her anger.
Chi Enen didn’t. She simply treated her as a stranger.
Even though the outcome was already much better than she had expected, why did her heart still have an indescribable taste?
Gu Qjanci turned on the faucet and scooped up a handful of water to splash on her neck.
Her skin, upon contact with the icy cold water, immediately broke out in goosebumps, and she quickly withdrew from her memories. She took some foundation from her bag, patted some of it on with the mirror, brightened up her complexion, and then, teetering on her 10-inch high heels, she sashayed out…
From a distance, she saw a girl slender as a daisy, sitting honestly at her reserved table, her large clear eyes seemingly filled with curiosity about anything, looking left and right.
Gu Qjanci’s heart immediately warmed up, she pursed her red lips, lifted the corners of her mouth, and after ensuring her smile was bright and beautiful, approached the table.
“Sis.” Gu Xixi looked up at her happily, chirping like a little bird let out of its cage, her excited cheeks flushed red, “Sis, this place is so beautiful. I’ve never eaten at such a beautiful place. Did you see? There’s even someone playing the violin over there.”
After saying this, she shrank back hesitantly, asking, “Sis, isn’t this place very expensive?”
Gu Qjanci knew what she was thinking and gently patted the top of her head to comfort her, “Don’t worry, the company sent us a consumption coupon for here. When the waiter comes, order whatever you want to eat.”
“Okay!” Gu Xixi nodded her head like pounding garlic, her pretty eyes flitting over the couples nearby, suddenly asking, “Sis, when will you find me a brother-in-law?”
It was as if Gu Qjanci’s heart had been pricked, almost unable to maintain the smile on her face. Thankfully, she had weathered many storms over the years and didn’t change her expression. She teased Gu Xixi playfully, saying with a smile, “A brother-in-law? I think you’re the one who wants to find me a brother-in-law.”
“Sis-” Gu Xixi’s face immediately turned red with shyness, and then her eyes dimmed, lowering her head to say, “I know my own body, and the doctor said I might just be my whole life. 1 don’t want to be a burden to anyone…”
When she looked up again, she was that same shy young girl, “So, Sis, hurry up and find me a brother-in-law. Dad was still thinking about it when he passed away, when will you bring home a brother-in-law, to fulfill Dad’s dream.”
“You little devil, always so talkative.”
Gu Qjanci snapped her fingers, and the waiter came over.
“Hello, ready to order?”
“Please bring us a menu.”
The waiter handed them a gilt menu, which Gu Qjanci then passed to Gu Xixi, “Take your time, don’t skimp, pick what you like to eat.”
“Okay.” Gu Xixi opened the menu, seriously looking through it, intending to pick something cheaper.
Everything was just fine.
Who would have thought that right at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly intruded, “Gu Qjanci, you are indeed here!”
