Meng Jingfen felt that with Gu Minghao’s explanation, her originally unremarkable name suddenly seemed quite impressive.
She smiled and said, "Your name is also very nice."
It immediately suggested wealth and status.
Although it was supposed to be a tour with Meng Jingfen acting as the guide, every time they arrived somewhere, Gu Minghao excused himself by saying it was getting late and only gave the place a cursory look.
After the night had deepened, he took Meng Jingfen straight to the Medicinal Food Hall.
Meng Jingfen hadn’t thought much of it at first, but when Gu Minghao parked the car in front of the Medicinal Food Hall, she was suddenly alarmed.
Heavens, why had Gu Minghao brought her to a place ?
Could she avoid going in?
She didn’t want to go in and endure the awkwardness.
But, compared with enduring awkwardness, she was more reluctant to simply leave Gu Minghao behind.
In the end, she still didn’t say anything and entered with a calm demeanor.
Gu Minghao, however, looked at her with a smile, his eyes filled with deep meaning, but Meng Jingfen didn’t catch on, thinking it was scrutiny.
Gu Minghao "scrutinized" her for a few moments before speaking gently, "Have you been here before?"
Just now, Meng Jingfen had told him that she hadn’t been in the area for long and only knew a few of the attractions.
His question now contained no disdain.
Meng Jingfen shook her head, "I haven’t been here, but I’ve always known its reputation."
Not just known it, she had known of it many years ago.
Even before arriving in Hai City.
Gu Minghao nodded and didn’t ask further, directly leading her to ask a waiter for a private room.
As Meng Jingfen curiously surveyed everything around her, she secretly prayed that she wouldn’t encounter anyone she knew.
Especially Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci.
With their multitude of properties, the Medicinal Food Hall was just an insignificant part, so they would be unlikely to come often, and she hoped they wouldn’t be there now...
Her analysis was accurate.
Indeed, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci rarely came nowadays.
Not only that, Zhao Xiaoxin and Han Muyang also visited infrequently.
Now, the place was managed by Lin Yuzhe, Xu Yinuo, and Mi Hang, who were all adopted by Han Zheng.
All thanks to Mi Hang—Han Zheng wanted to continue their past-life bond as godfather and son.
Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci didn’t usually come, but today they had to deliver space-produced ingredients...
Hence, they ended up having a meal with Zhao Xiaoxin and a few others...
As they were leaving, they passed by the private room where Meng Jingfen was, and Meng Chuyue spotted her at a glance.
Meng Chuyue was somewhat surprised and couldn’t help but take an extra look at her and Gu Minghao.
But she just looked twice and left.
However, if Meng Chuyue found something interesting, how could the others ignore it?
So, led by Shen Ci, more than ten people each took a glance at Meng Jingfen before leaving.
Was this just bad luck?
After they left, Gu Minghao deliberately asked Meng Jingfen, "What? You know those people?"
Meng Jingfen thought for a moment and nodded, "I know them, but we’re not close. The first woman was supposedly my aunt’s daughter, but it turned out she wasn’t, having been switched at birth."
Meng Jingfen believed that someone as capable as Gu Minghao could easily find out about her relationship with Meng Chuyue with a little inquiry. Rather than letting him find out things she didn’t want him to know, she preferred to be upfront.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Minghao’s eyes were earnest as he said, "Can you tell me more about it?" For more chapters visıt novｅlfire.net
Do the wealthy love gossip too?
Meng Jingfen was somewhat speechless, but still chose her words selectively and began to narrate accordingly.
In her narrative, she mentioned the backgrounds of Meng Chuyue, Lin Fangwei, and Zhao Xiaoxin, but she omitted everything about her family mistreating Meng Chuyue and anything related to her own involvement.
After quietly listening to the end, Gu Minghao smiled and said, "I had no idea such things happened, truly nothing is too bizarre in this world. However, I really admire your dignity; under these circumstances, you could have tried to cozy up to her, to ask for her help in finding a better job, but you didn’t... That’s truly admirable."
