Chapter Fifty-Seven: Two at Once

  "Where are we going now?" Guo Zhengyang's gaze at Jiang Weijie brightened slightly, but soon subsided. He followed Guo Lingling into the car and then smiled at his older sister again.

  "Going to the city? My classmate is getting married tomorrow, do you want to call Second Uncle and them?" Guo Lingling also smiled sweetly at this, and this smile made Guo Zhengyang unable to refuse. However, he felt a little strange in his heart, why would this big sister go to attend her classmate's wedding, she doesn't know anyone there, going to join the excitement?

  However, since his sister said she came to the county town to avoid Jiang Weijie, he knew that the wedding was probably not over yet. If the wedding had already ended, his sister could have gone home directly from Beiguo to Nanguo... where would she still need to use finding Guo Zhengyang as an excuse to shake off this pursuer?

  It was the person in front who was obviously too "enthusiastic" and insisted on driving to send Guo Lingling over. This is probably what made his sister most helpless. However, Guo Zhengyang still quickly called his mother and said that he had something to do this weekend and wouldn't be returning home, without mentioning Guo Lingling at all during the conversation.

  Although his mother said a few words, when he hung up the phone, Guo Lingling smiled and rubbed Guo Zhengyang's head vigorously again, "You're smart."

  Yes, if Guo Zhengyang said she was also there and had arrived at the door but didn't go home to take a look, I'm sure Mother Guo would have complained again. She just forgot to mention it earlier, and only remembered when Guo Zhengyang picked up the phone. Who knew Guo Zhengyang was so clever?

  "Haha, shall we go to the city? Xiao Zheng, I'm a few years older than you, so let's just call you Xiao Zheng like your sister does. You and your sister can stay in a hotel together tonight. Many people have come to attend Xiao Yue's wedding and are all staying in the same hotel." Jiang Weijie, who was driving ahead, couldn't help but chuckle at this scene and changed the subject with a smile.

  "Good." Guo Zhengyang nodded, and Jiang Weijie smiled again, "I didn't expect you to be a third-year high school student. The college entrance exam is almost here, how's it going? Which university are you preparing for?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Lingling suddenly widened her eyes and coughed lightly before laughing and saying, "Right, Brother Jiang, I heard you say that you started a company earlier, what does it do?"

  "Uh, real estate agent."

  "Not bad, real estate is so hot now."

  ……

  Watching the two people abruptly change the subject, Guo Zhengyang was speechless. However, in his silence, he felt a warmth in his heart. Okay, he used to be very bad at studying, for three years in high school, two and a half years were so bad that they couldn't be mentioned, often getting angry when it was brought up, and often being scolded by his father because of this. Those who knew him basically also knew that he hated talking about his studies the most. Guo Lingling probably wanted to take care of his feelings, so as soon as she heard Jiang Weijie's words, she changed the subject. But the problem is that in these two months, his grades have made rapid progress, and at school, he has been praised by teachers every day, becoming a model...

  He is no longer afraid of others mentioning this.

  However, it seems that his family members around him still don't know about these things.

  Because of taking care of his feelings, for two months no matter how much he changed at school, his mother came to see him every week but never asked about his grades. As for his father, perhaps it was that one time a month ago when they met outside the school and he was too disappointed, so in such a long time he didn't ask about his grades again.

  This really made Guo Zhengyang feel somewhat depressed, he had been studying hard for such a long time, wasn't it just to make his family happy and proud? As a result, he really did work hard and earned the praise and admiration of many teachers and students, but instead, his family members either didn't care or deliberately avoided asking about it.

  This kind of thing really gives people a strange feeling.

  Speechless, Guo Zhengyang also didn't say anything, he just sat quietly.

  Then they sped towards the city, and for most of the time on the road, Jiang Weijie was talking, while Guo Zhengyang and his sister were mostly listening. The one in front was very talkative, with a humorous tone that occasionally made Guo Lingling giggle softly, but it made Guo Zhengyang feel bored and sleepy.

  Jiang Weijie is quite humorous, but his attention is all on Guo Lingling. He talks about everything in front of the lady to show off and be clever. At first, he took care of Guo Zhengyang, but after a few words, he didn't pay much attention to him anymore.

  Guo Lingling was quite considerate of her younger brother Guo Zhengyang, afraid that he would feel depressed, often talked to him, but as they chatted, it turned into teasing, making him even more melancholy.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, Xiao Zheng, how did you become so gloomy lately? Are you still pretending to be deep and melancholic in front of your sister? There aren't any other girls around here?" The car was already approaching the city, with the metropolis looming vaguely on the horizon. It wasn't until then that Guo Lingling looked at Guo Zhengyang with surprise, her eyes filled with curiosity.

  After all, it was a very familiar person, and Guo Zhengyang's changes could still be felt by her. In the past, she would tease him, and it was easy to make this kid cry without tears, because he never got angry with her. So no matter how she teased him, even if she made him very angry, he would only endure it himself, with an attitude of being on the verge of crying, which made Guo Lingling feel particularly amused. But this time, whether she pinched his cheeks or rubbed his hair, or whatever else, Guo Zhengyang just had a helpless expression, and no matter how she teased him, he was completely unresponsive.

  This change is still quite big.

  "What can I do? You've ruined me so badly that I'm no longer human." Guo Zhengyang finally let out a deep sigh, his teeth aching.

  This bewildered and helpless expression, however, made Guo Lingling burst out laughing again, "Oh, I get it, you've been trying to act mature lately, huh?"

  "Haha, Lingling, your brother has a great temper. If it were our family's Xiao Yue, she would definitely argue with me on the spot if I said a few words to her." Guo Lingling laughed loudly, and Jiang Weijie in front also spoke up with a smile.

  "That's our family's Xiao Zheng, not only is he good-tempered." Guo Lingling also proudly raised her head, seemingly very proud of this younger brother Guo Zhengyang, that proud expression also made Guo Zhengyang laugh and cry at the same time.

  However, when he scanned the front, he found that Jiang Weijie, after hearing this, only flashed a disbelieving look in his eyes, but under the disbelieving gaze, there was a harmonious and joyful approval, "This can be seen."

  Kuang Zhengyang's mouth curved into a smile, and he was actually quite interested in the target ahead. After listening to it all the way, he also roughly understood a lot. In fact, this Jiang Weijie, if what he said is true, then he is really an extraordinary person. This year, at the age of 28, he started from scratch, and his family background is just an ordinary working-class family. He used to work as a senior executive in a certain intermediary company, accumulated a batch of connections, and then started his own business. In just over a year, he made his company occupy a place in the second-hand house trading market in Mingchuan City.

  In his mouth, this is indeed a young talent worthy of admiration, plus being young and handsome, it's really a very charming successful man.

  Of course, how much of this is true and how much is false can't be determined for now.

  Men often blow their own trumpet and beautify themselves when they are pursuing the woman of their dreams.

  However, even if you put these aside, Guo Zhengyang can still make some judgments about this Jiang Weijie, who should be a very ordinary little boss and not as annoying as the targets he met in his previous two encounters.

  This time, the target is likely just an ordinary person.

  Just as Guo Zhengyang was savoring his thoughts, the idea in his mind suddenly changed.

  This made him pause for a moment, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Jiang Weijie's target was right in front of him, and all along the way, his intuition had been simply guiding him in the direction, always indicating that the target was right in front of him. How did it suddenly change?

  Responding silently to the change in his mind, Guo Zhengyang suddenly opened his eyes, and a very strange color flashed through them.

  "Not again, another new target has appeared? Jiang Weijie this target hasn't been taken down yet, and another one appears? Two hunting targets at once, two opportunities to plunder the heavenly machine?"

  The change in intention was a fork in the road, with one path still guiding Jiang Weijie and the other pointing towards the downtown area of Mingchuan City.
