Chapter 51: Why Are You So Nice To Me
Gu Jinghang looked at her expressionlessly and said, “Are you done? If you are done, I’m going in. We have to take our attendance at seven.”
Wen Huihui was full of frustration as she said, “Why are you so silly? Ran’s family has introduced another man to her. He is the son of the boss who is managing two agricultural cooperatives and multiple fashion retail stores. His family background is very compatible with that of Ran’s. Much more compatible than yours.
Yet, Gu Jinghang did not kick up a big fuss like how Wen Huihui had expected him to. He was calm and composed. Was it because he did not like expressing his feelings? Or was it because he had so much trust in Song Ran that he believed that their relationship was stronger than material needs and that they would overcome every challenge they met?
This was not a good sign. He was not anxious, and this made Wen Huihui worried.
Gu Jinghang did not respond. He merely glared at Wen Huihui and asked in an interrogative tone, “Who told you to come and tell me all these things? Did Ran make you come?”
Vivid thoughts started flashing through Wen Huihui’s mind. Should she say something, or keep silent? How could she word it so that there would be a higher possibility of the couple breaking up?
She decided to cut off any means of retreat and just gritted her teeth before blurting out, “Of course, Ran made me tell you these things. She thinks highly of Yao Xifeng. Furthermore, she is only an 18-year-old student. She wishes to listen to the plans of her family.”
Gu Jinghang finally understood what was going on. He gave her a cold look and said in a voice duller than the evening mist, “I got it.”
He turned and walked into the inst.i.tute right away, ignoring Wen Huihui’s attempts to stop him.
Wen Huihui was even more lost. He got it. What does he know? Does he know that Song Ran looks down on him? Does he realize that he is not good enough for Song Ran? Is he going to give up on this relationship?
Was it really like how she understood it to be?
But why was she feeling so worried? Why did she think that Gu Jinghang’s reaction was out of her control?
Why does it seem like everything was not going according to her plan? She could not handle Song Ran. She could not control Gu Jinghang either. She was going crazy!
How would she have known that Song Ran had already told Gu Jinghang about Yao Xifeng and even talked about how much she despised that good-for-nothing guy?
Wen Huihui was a cold and heartless person who had little to do with the goodness of this world. She had no understanding that such things were pure and devoid of trickery or plots.
She left the second research inst.i.tute with an uneasy heart. She had to come up with another plan. If Song Ran knew about this, Wen Huihui must have a way to cover it up and talk her into something else.
Yup, Song Ran was no longer the naive girl she was before.
It was nightfall. Song Ran was lying on the sofa while enjoying the wind from the electric fan. As she was munching on the watermelon that Mother Wu had prepared, the telephone rang.
Song Ran picked up the phone slowly and said lazily, “h.e.l.lo, who’s this?”
“It’s me.” Gu Jinghang could understand some simple words in the native tongue of Haicheng and knew that Song Ran was asking about who he was. The native language of Haicheng sounded soft. Hearing it from Song Ran felt like she was trying to attract him.
Song Ran immediately threw her watermelon aside and sat upright. She switched to speaking in standard Mandarin in one second and said, “Oh, it’s you Jinghang. What’s wrong? We just met yesterday. You miss me already?”
Her nasal voice sounded cute. Gu Jinghang could not help but smile and said, “Ahem… I have something to tell you.”
He was not used to having to speak to young girls with a sweet tongue. Instead, he used a submissive tone.
“What’s wrong?”
“You… should be careful when you are around Wen Huihui in the future.”
