Spring Breeze No. 1 (004) Unpleasant Dinner
Gu Shallow frowned, a wealthy family's daughter was ignorant to this extent, no wonder she would be called a silly little sister. Having only looks is nothing, just a vase after all.
In fact, she was also tired of such a life, and besides, she couldn't always rely on her family to live on. She wasn't used to having control over life and death in someone else's hands.
"Mom, I wasn't doing very well before, but starting from today, I plan to find something to do."
Mrs. Gu's eyes lit up for a moment, and then dimmed again.
"Never mind, you've said this countless times before, and every time it's been nothing but a provocation to us."
"This time it will definitely not happen."
But what can she do? Gu Qianying doesn't have any talent. As for her education, she had looked at it before, and the university she attended was a third-rate school, with basically nothing to take away from it.
Unless she had connections, she couldn't take a single step forward. In this city, who didn't know that she was Gu Qian Ning, and who didn't know that she was penniless?
Mrs. Gu didn't expect her at all, just like people who have seen "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" know that Gu Shallow is a replica of that child.
The top priority is to let her hold on to the big tree of Ji's family, finding a job and other things are secondary.
"How far have you gone with Jiang Ying?"
Gu Shallow Cong said: "Only so familiar."
Mrs. Gu said in a low voice: "Just being familiar is not enough, there must be substantial progress, the sooner they get married the better, or the duck that's already in their mouth will fly away."
If it wasn't for Ji Jiangying's duck making a phone call, Mrs. Gu was afraid that she would have continued talking endlessly.
Qin Shuangying picked up the phone and called out: "Young Master Ji..." Immediately after, she held her breath and focused, even more nervous than him.
"Tell Jiang Ying to behave herself."
"Is there something?"
Ji Jiangying was still as cold as ever: "Why don't we eat together and increase our explosive popularity?"
So deliberate.
"Okay, when?"
"Let's make it for tonight, I'll have my secretary book a restaurant."
Gu Shallow Condensation hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Gu immediately.
Ji Jiang asked me out for dinner.
"That's great, dress up a bit more, men are visual animals, as long as..."
Gu Shallow Cong stood up: "Alright, don't say anything more, I already know everything."
The family is really funny, knowing where their daughter grew up, and they won't waste any resources at all.
"Please don't call me unless it's something important."
Mrs. Gu asked her abruptly, "Are you still angry with your father?"
Gu Shallow Cong was stunned for a moment and didn't know what she asked.
Mrs. Gu waved her hand: "Alright, you can go now." Her eyes were already red-rimmed.
Got up early in the afternoon, made up, dressed up and went to the banquet.
Ji Jiangying really came over on time, punctual to the minute, and didn't want to show his face for a second longer.
She also needs to bring a secretary, and this beautiful and intelligent woman she knows is the one Qi Jiangying would risk his life to protect. It was in that accident where the car was destroyed and people died that she crossed over. Just for this reason, Gu Shallow's spirit can be at odds with this couple for a lifetime.
Ji Jiangying glanced at her: "You order first."
It seems that there is still material that has not been read, and it's someone who values punctuality. So, I brought my secretary here to work overtime, and after more than ten minutes, I finished reading it and handed it over to Anzi.
"Alright, take it back."
Anzi received the call and looked at the time, then asked him: "Can you come pick me up in an hour?"
Ji Jiang Ying said calmly: "Okay."
After finishing their official business, Anzi finally looked over and greeted Gu Shallow Condensation.
"Hello, Miss Gu."
Gu Shallow raised her eyes and smiled lightly: "Does Secretary An want to sit down and have a meal together? The more people, the merrier."
Anzi smiled wryly: "I won't disturb your pleasant dinner anymore, wish you a happy meal."
As soon as they left, Gu Shallow handed the menu to Ji Jiangying: "Sorry, Season Young Master, I don't know what you like to eat, so I didn't order for you."
Ji Jiang narrowed his eyes and turned cold: "Didn't Secretary An send you my preferences and habits earlier? Can't your brain even remember those?"
What a sharp sarcasm.
Gu Shallow calmly accepted the invitation: "I've been given it before, and I've already memorized it. However, Season Young forgot, didn't he? In that accident, I messed up my brain, so how could I still remember those unimportant things? Being able to remember Season Young is already a great fortune for me, I should thank my mother's three uncles and four aunts."
She finished speaking sincerely and the ordered meal had arrived.
Gu Shallow picked up her utensils and ate generously: "Young Master Ji, I eat slowly, afraid of delaying your precious time, so I'll eat first."
Ji Jiangying gazed at her for a moment under the candlelight in the dining hall. He understood that she was still resentful about the accident.
Gu Shallow felt a pair of eyes staring at her, but she didn't raise an eyebrow and calmly finished eating a plate of food.
Wiping the corner of her mouth, she asked: "Young Master Ji, aren't you going to eat?"
Ji Jiang's lips tightened at the corners as he told her, "I don't like women who play tricks."
"Even if I didn't play tricks on you, you still wouldn't like me."
Ji Jiangying was indeed a deeply cultivated person, leaning back in his chair with a lazy smile.
"Gu Shallow Cong, it seems you're smarter than I thought. Since you know everything, that's good. Marrying you is just like marrying a decoration, you should be clear about the affairs of the wealthy family, so I hope you'll behave yourself and do your part well, don't give me any trouble."
"Qiu Shallow Cong lowered her eyebrows and smiled: 'Seasonal, don't worry, you know I'm a person who has everything, but no skills. Even if I want to stir up trouble, I have nowhere to start.'"
Ji Jiangying only asked her: "Are you full?" Seeing her nod, he stood up and said: "Let's go."
The dinner party ended early, and it was like swallowing a pile of stones to part ways. Eating with such a young master is simply nauseating.
Driving back and forth, the phone rang.
It's that woman named Bao Li again, looks like she and Gu Qian Ning are really good friends, always dragging her out to social gatherings.
Couldn't think of an excuse to decline, glanced at it and threw the phone aside, ignoring it.
After a while, he came again and found that the person had been replaced.
She was as beautiful as jade, thought for a moment, and then picked up: "Hello."
"Hey, Shallow, what are you doing? Bao Li has been trying to call you and you're not answering."
Guo Qian Ning just said: "I was just taking a bath and didn't hear anything."
"No wonder." Then she said again; "Baoli, Anna we are having dinner together, you come over quickly."
Gu Shallow Cong said: "I've eaten."
"Even if you've eaten already, come over and sit with everyone for a bit. They haven't seen you in such a long time and are worried."
Gu Shallow Cong finally asked for the address and drove over, but in her mind she was suspicious, what kind of good friend is this, why doesn't she have any impression of her at all?
