"Where are you? Where are you? Where the hell are you?" As soon as the call connected, Gu Yuluo’s series of urgent questions came through the speaker, tinged with a hint of urgency.
Gu Zhiqi responded indifferently, "I’m in the car."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuluo fell silent for two seconds, then after two more seconds, she opened her mouth again, "And where’s the car?"
"Just wait a moment," Gu Zhiqi replied casually.
Without waiting for Gu Yuluo to speak again, Gu Zhiqi hung up the call.
Not even two minutes later, the car stopped once again outside the airport terminal.
Gu Yuluo was standing by the road outside the airport and immediately recognized the Gu Family’s car, pulling the door open and getting in right away.
After getting in, she turned her head and gazed at Gu Zhiqi and Gu Huaijin with a deep look, "So, where did you two go just now?"
"Seeing you weren’t coming out, we took a couple of laps around to catch some air," Gu Huaijin said unflappably.
"Qiqi said your fans were picking you up?"
Recalling Gu Zhiqi’s earlier comment, Gu Huaijin asked this.
Gu Huaijin was nothing but surprised to hear that Gu Yuluo actually had fans.
After all, he remembered that she had been muddling through the entertainment industry for two years now and was still an eighteenth-tier celebrity with a murky reputation.
"Fans picking me up? That was for someone else," Gu Yuluo said, sweeping away the gloom in her heart and suddenly finding the situation quite humorous.
She continued with great excitement, "Let me tell you, it was absolutely bizarre."
"Those fans said they were picking up their idol, but they didn’t even recognize their own star. They thought I looked familiar, so they kept shouting ’Luoluo I love you’ at me."
"It completely messed me up; I actually thought I had fans until I realized they got it wrong."
"The situation was embarrassingly funny at the moment, it killed me."
"I just don’t know whether the real celebrity is famous. If they are quite popular, I might even ride the wave of publicity and get a little famous myself."
Gu Yuluo was quite excited about this, while Gu Zhiqi and Gu Huaijin weren’t all that amused, only the driver chatted with her, "If the Third Miss wants to be famous, you don’t need to ride anyone’s coattails, just have the second young master arrange some opportunities for you."
"Tch! As if that bastard wouldn’t just blacklist me, let alone give me opportunities?" Gu Yuluo said disdainfully.
Hearing this, the driver just shook his head helplessly and continued driving.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Gu Family Manor.
After the car entered the manor, Gu Zhiqi kept gazing out the window, not by choice but because the scenery outside was too captivating.
Once inside the manor, the car slowed down, allowing Gu Zhiqi to clearly see the scenery outside.
At first, she passed various trees lining the path, a lush greenery overwhelming her sight, with dense undergrowth beneath the trees, occasionally punctuated with flowers still in bloom swinging in the breeze.
Further in, there was a large expanse of climbing roses covering one trellis after another, closely juxtaposed. The peak bloom had passed, leaving behind a sea of green. Vines and leaves covered the structures, forming what looked like a covered walkway with their dense foliage.
Closer to the villa, all kinds of exotic flora were planted.
Gu Zhiqi couldn’t make out each plant but knew that each one she saw was worth over a million.
Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi couldn’t help but marvel; the Gu family truly deserved its position as the wealthiest in Haicheng.
After entering the manor, the car took a whole two additional minutes before finally reaching the front of the villa.
Turning around a massive fountain pool, the car came to a stop at the villa’s entrance.
When the car stopped, Gu Yuluo didn’t get out immediately but instead turned around suddenly, glancing at Gu Huaijin, "It’s just you at home, right?"
"Mm," Gu Huaijin hummed noncommittally.
Hearing this, Gu Yuluo felt reassured and unbuckled her seatbelt to get out of the car.
