Chapter 51: Throwing a Coin (Second update! Please collect and vote!)

  This morning, I drove to Shanghai at dawn. When the sky brightened up, Mi Lao Ye Zi pulled me into a conversation that lasted for quite some time. By the time we took a break, it was almost 7 o'clock. If it weren't for the Beijing medical expert team coming in to re-examine Mi Lao Ye Zi, Guo Pu would have stayed there! After Wu Ma led Guo Pu through several corridors and arrived at a quiet and secluded courtyard in the backyard, she helped him push open the door. Without thinking twice, Guo Pu fell onto the newly changed silk quilt and started snoring loudly!

  Driving is tiring, and being lectured by Old Master Mi made his heart feel uneasy, but in the end, he suddenly understood, Guo Pu's mind relaxed, and he fell asleep naturally.

  It's unknown how long had passed, when the sound of knocking on the door was heard. Guo Pu's head was groggy, and just as he was about to get up to open the door, he discovered that his clothes had been taken off! He hastily put them back on, then went to open the door. Milan stood at the entrance, and upon seeing Guo Pu opening the door, she said with a smile: "Still sleeping? Come with me to eat!"

  "Oh! What time is it? Who took off my clothes?"

  Mi Lan's face turned red, although she and Wang Si Rui were older than Guo Gu, this was the first time they had done something like this, so it was only natural that they felt a bit embarrassed!

  "Who else could it be! Hmph! Let's go eat, by the way, what did Grandpa say to you yesterday?"

  Kuo Pu smiled as soon as he heard it, glanced around and changed the subject, saying: "Where's Wu Ma? I'll go wash my face first!"

  Wu's mother walked out from the corner of the corridor, with a brand new towel on her shoulder and a large golden copper basin in her hand, which was still steaming!

  "Auntie... Young Master Guo, your washbasin is ready! Hurry up and wash your face while the water's still hot!"

  The old houses of the Mi family are all traditional, although the Nan Rui Tang house is very old, it still has running water, but Mr. Mi likes this way, according to the old saying, "connecting with the earth's energy", so in the Mi family, washing face and feet are done using copper basins!

  Mi Buqing was holding an ancient book and reading, while Su Mu Yun sat quietly in thought. When he saw Guo Pu walking over, Mi Buqing put the book on the table edge, smiled and said: "You've worked hard! Little Guo!"

  Su Mu Yun also learned from her husband about the relationship between Mi Lao Ye and Guo Pu, thinking that this young man was indeed not simple. In the eyes of Lao Ye, no young person had ever received his praise, including Song Jia Ming, the young master of the Song family who often came to visit him, whom Lao Ye only hummed a few words about!

  The old man occasionally went to Beijing a few years ago and saw many people. Mi Buqing and Su Muyun were surprised, but naturally didn't suspect anything.

  This is specially prepared breakfast for Guo Pu, it's already 2 o'clock in the afternoon!

  There's a wide variety of food, all of which are Shanghai's famous snacks and so on!

  "Hurry up and sit down to eat, you must be exhausted! You haven't eaten anything since last night, have you? Lan'er, serve a bowl of porridge for Little Guo!"

  Su Mu Yun really liked it more and more as she looked at it, and even personally picked up a crab roe bun and put it in the plate in front of Guo Pu!

  Guo Pu's mind was relaxed and he didn't stand on ceremony, thanked him and sat down to eat! Mi Buqing and Su Mu Yun couldn't help but feel happy again!

  Polite and elegant, generous and open-minded, free from constraints! That's exactly the kind of personality they like!

  Milan had just gotten up and wasn't very hungry, when a servant came in saying that the young master of the Song family had arrived, bringing many gifts!

  Milan slightly furrowed her brow but didn't say anything. Su Mu Yun and Mi Bu Qing exchanged a glance, with a hint of bitter smile in their eyes!

  Actually, Song Jiaming has always been their ideal son-in-law candidate. Of course, now there's also Guo Pu, and it seems like Song Jiaming doesn't stand a chance anymore! However, Song Jiaming has an extremely good relationship with the Mi family, especially with Mr. and Mrs. Mi Buqing. Whenever the Song family has something new and fresh, Song Jiaming will definitely send over a portion as a gift - it may not be worth much money, but it's the thought that counts. Even the tea that Su Muyun drinks is something he went to great lengths to obtain! And also many of Mi Buqing's ancient books!

  It's ungrateful to bite the hand that feeds you, and it's even more so when Song Jiaying is indeed a refined and elegant young master of the mundane world, with an impeccable demeanor that would never offend anyone! In reality, Mi Buqing treats Song Jiaying as if he were her own son or younger brother.

  "He's no outsider, let him come here!"

  Mi Buqing smiled slightly and instructed the servant. Less than two minutes later, Song Jiaming walked in hastily. When he saw Mi Lan, his eyes lit up, but he was extremely polite, first greeting Mi Buqing and Su Mu Yun before turning to Mi Lan and saying: "Sister Lan is back? I'm a bit abrupt, brother. And who might this gentleman be?"

  Song Jiaying smiled at Guo Pu with a bright and handsome face, but his eyes were clear and didn't have any other meaning.

  "His name is Guo Pu, I... friend!"

  Milan seemed unwilling to talk more with Song Jiaming! Mi Buqing couldn't help but scold, saying: "Lan'er, your big brother Song came, why are you like this? Jiaming, sit down and have a bite together. You and Xiao Guo are about the same age, you should get closer!"

  Song Jiaming smiled brightly and said, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Guo. Welcome to Shanghai! I hope we can get closer in the future!"

  Guo Pingshen said that this guy is not an ordinary person, at least he is much stronger than those dog sons of the capital city. Lin Gongzi has never seen him and doesn't know what kind of virtue he has, but as for Han Gongzi's group, they can't even show their faces in front of Song Jia!

  Look at their temperament and demeanor, those red three generations and red four generations, apart from relying on the residual influence of their family, they really don't have anything else to show off!

  "Mr. Song is being polite! Let's eat together!"

  Song Jiaying looked at Milan's reaction, his heart slightly sour, but still elegantly sat down, smiling and said to Guo Gu: "Good, I have a fate with Brother Guo, let's not be what young masters anymore, you and I will call each other brothers! I'm older than you by a few years, so I'll call you brother! How about it?"

  Song Jiaming's demeanor really pleased Guo Pu, who hastily stuffed a bun into his mouth and smiled as he extended his large hand to Song Jiaming, saying: "Alright, Big Brother Song is indeed straightforward. In the future, when you arrive in Beijing, be sure to come find me for some fun. Come on, come on, I really hit it off with Big Brother Song. Let's use congee instead of wine and have a bowl!"

  Song Jiaming burst out laughing, he was also very casual in front of Mi Buqing, naturally not needing to bother with formalities. He quickly served himself a bowl of porridge and, imitating Guo Pu's mannerisms, grabbed a baozi and stuffed it into his mouth, exclaiming: "Mmm, delicious! How come I never knew this crab roe baozi was so good? Haha! Come on, let's drink!"

  Two young people got along famously, which made Su Mu Yun and Mi Bu Qing both stunned. They thought to themselves that this self-proclaimed familiarity couldn't be happening so quickly? The high status of Jia Ming's family was something they were aware of; those who had the qualifications to be his brothers didn't exist even in all of Shanghai at present! However, Xiao Guo surprisingly got along with him so well. Su Mu Yun and Mi Bu Qing finally felt a stone lifted off their hearts. It seemed that from now on, Lan Er and Jia Ming wouldn't become husband and wife, but they also wouldn't be enemies!

  This little Guo is really astonishing!

  Even Song Jiaming himself didn't know why he got along so well with his love rival!
