The dormitory was quiet again. Shen Qinglan went back to the balcony and continued to read the book in her hand. If Yu Xiaoxuan had paid attention, she would find that Shen Qinglan was not reading a light novel as she thought, but a summary of business administration.
Shen Qinglan read the book very fast and soon turned to the next page. Yu Xiaoxuan didn"t know if she really took in anything at such a fast speed.
Just then, the phone rang, and Shen Qinglan took a look at the caller ID. It was Gu Yang.
“h.e.l.lo.”
“Little sister-in-law, it"s me, Gu Yang.” Gu Yang spoke enthusiastically.
“I know.”
“Little sister-in-law, where are you now?”
“In the school"s dormitory.”
“That"s great,” Gu Yang"s cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone. “Little sister-in-law, I"m near your school right now. I"ll pick you up right away. Wait for me.”
With that, no matter what Shen Qinglan"s reaction was, he had already hung up the phone, Shen Qinglan looked at the dark screen and arched eyebrows.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, Gu Yang"s called her again. Shen Qinglan didn"t want to answer, but after thinking about it, she picked it up.
“Little sister-in-law, I"m at the gate of your school. Which dormitory building are you in? I"ll go straight in and pick you up.”
Shen Qinglan glanced downstairs at the crowded dormitory and paused, “No, I"ll go to see you at the school gate.”
With that, she hung up the phone, got up and informed Yu Xiaoxuan and Fang Tong, then went out the door. She had nothing on her except her bedroom key and mobile phone.
Soon, Shen Qinglan"s figure appeared at the school gate. Gu Yang, who had been watching the school gate, quickly picked her out from the crowd. He opened the car door and waved at Shen Qinglan. “Here, Here.”
His voice was very loud, and instantly attracted the attention of people nearby. Some people recognized Shen Qinglan. After all, she was quite a popular figure at the school, very few people did not know her.
Today, Gu Yang drove a yellow Ferrari sports car, which was the latest model of Ferrari this year. Outsourcing was showy. He was also tall and handsome, s.h.i.+ning like a Mr. Perfect.
And now this Mr. Perfect was obviously looking at Shen Qinglan. Thinking of the affair between Shen Qinglan and Yan Shengyu some time ago, a group of people seemed to think they had discovered a big source of gossip and took out their cell phones one by one to take pictures quietly.
Shen Qinglan naturally noticed the reaction of the people around her, and some regrets came out in her heart. She was thinking about whether to go back and act as if she didn"t know Gu Yang. As a result, Gu Yang noticed she was moving a bit too slow and ran to her directly.
“Come with me, little sister-in-law. I"ll take you to an interesting place and make sure you see a wonderful show.”
Gu Yang reached out to hold her arm but she avoided it. Gu Yang was not awkward about it. He made a gesture of asking for help.
Shen Qinglan"s thought of returning to the dormitory was dispelled, and she got into Gu Yang"s car.
“What do you want from me?” Shen Qinglan looked cold because of Gu Yang"s arrival. She had a presentiment of what would happen next. Although she didn"t care about the gossip, it was annoying to be whispered and talked about behind her back.
“Little sister-in-law, there is a car race on the outskirts of the south of the city tonight, it"ll be very exciting. Gu Kai will also take part in it. Let"s go and cheer him on.” Gu Yang told her about the purpose of his visit.
“No.” Shen Qinglan put her hand on the doork.n.o.b and was about to get out of the car.
Gu Yang grabbed her, “No, sister-in-law, this compet.i.tion is rare, it only happens once a year. Gu Kai had a hard time reaching the finals this year. You have to go to support him.”
Most importantly, with Shen Qinglan"s partic.i.p.ation, even if Fu Hengyi knew, he would not punish them. Gu Yang felt that dragging Shen Qinglan into the deep end with them was simply the best solution he could think of. Fu Hengyi would never allow them to partic.i.p.ate in such compet.i.tions otherwise.
The last time he and Gu Kai took part, Fu Hengyi found out, and they were "trained" for two months. They doubted if they could survive another one.
Shen Qinglan"s eyes fell on Gu Yang holding her hand. Gu Yang let go and put his hands together. “Little sister-in-law, please, let"s go together. I promise this is just a regular compet.i.tion.”
Shen Qinglan finally did not try to get out of his car and followed Gu Yang to a restaurant to eat. In Gu Yang"s words, to refuel strength can"t go without enough food, ah.
It was seven o"clock in the evening when they arrived at the venue after dinner. In half an hour, the match was about to start, but they couldn"t find Gu Kai.
“Where is this dead boy? Little sister-in-law, wait for me here. I"ll give him a call.” Gu Yang"s tone was a little anxious, but there was not much urgency on his face. He took out his cell phone and called Gu Kai, he called several times in a row, but no one answered. Now Gu Yang was really in a bit of a hurry.
“Little sister-in-law, I can"t get through. Did something happen to Gu Kai?”
Shen Qinglan thought for a moment, “What did he tell you before?”
“I went with him at noon to eat and separated right after. After that, I went to see you and he said he"ll go home first, and then we"ll meet here.”
“What time does the compet.i.tion start?”
“7:30.”
Shen Qinglan glanced at the time. “There"s still half an hour. It"s not too late. Maybe he"s already on the way. Don"t worry, let"s find a place to wait for him.”
Shen Qinglan"s voice was clear, with a touch of coldness, so Gu Yang calmed down. He looked at Shen Qinglan sheepishly. He was obviously two years older than Shen Qinglan, but he was not as calm as Shen Qinglan when he encountered something outside his expectations.
Gu Yang was a little ashamed.
“Oh, who is this? Isn"t this our famous Gu Shao. ” A flowing voice sounded, Shen Qinglan looked sideways and saw a young blonde-haired man standing not too far away. The young man looked like a normal man, wearing leather clothes and pants, but the expression on his face made people feel uncomfortable.
The young man was followed by several people dressed like him, with the same expression on their faces.
Gu Yang saw the newcomer and his face darkened. “Lin Hao, what are you doing here? The compet.i.tion hasn"t started yet.”
Lin Hao smiled, and after his eyes fell on Shen Qinglan, he couldn"t move them away. “This beautiful woman, she seems very unfamiliar to me. Is this her first time coming here?” Lin Hao said while pretending to be a gentleman.
Shen Qinglan frowned but before he could speak, Gu Yang was standing in front of her, directly blocking Lin Hao"s view. “Lin Hao, where are your dog eyes looking? I guess they don"t want to look anymore, do they?”
Lin Hao"s face changed, “Gu Yang, you are a loser, and you will come back even more arrogant when you win. What I"m doing now is none of your business.” As he said this, he looked at Shen Qinglan with a smile on his face that he thought was like that of a gentleman.
“This beautiful woman, my name is Lin Hao. I am the young owner of then Lin enterprise. May I have your name, please?”
