276 Looking for a Job
However, she was in the wrong. She did not inform him in advance and went upstairs directly. This made her feel embarra.s.sed to mention anything else.
When she entered the house, her grandmother was sitting at the table eating the breakfast she had made. She was a little surprised to see her return so quickly.
“Why are you back so soon? Isn’t Little Xiang around?”
Gu Man lowered her head and walked hurriedly. “No, I’ll go in first, Grandma.”
Grandma was about to ask something else, but Gu Man’s door was already closed, leaving her sitting in her seat with a puzzled expression.
The moment she returned to her room, Gu Man sat on the bed. Her heart still could not help but beat faster, and she was extremely hot.
She took off her coat and threw it on the bed, annoyed with herself for not informing him in advance.
Before she could calm down, her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and realized that it was a call from Xiang Yin. Her hands paused, not knowing if she should answer.
Seeing that the phone was about to stop ringing, she slowly swiped the answer b.u.t.ton.
“Why did you run away so quickly? I should be the one running, right?”
There was nothing abnormal about Xiang Yin’s voice. Instead, he was still in the mood to joke with her. It seemed like he did not care much about what had just happened.
Gu Man comforted herself in her heart before her voice sounded much more normal. “I’m sorry, I should have told you in advance.”
Her calm voice came from the phone, making Xiang Yin a little dazed.
Was his figure so unattractive now? There was no fluctuation in Gu Man’s voice, as if she was not interested.
This was the first time he had been seen naked by a woman, but the other party actually had such a reaction. This could not help but make him feel a little defeated.
“I received your breakfast. Did you make it specially for me?”
“Right.”
Her simple answer made Xiang Yin choke and he did not know what to say.
Thinking about how he was usually the one who shamelessly asked Gu Man for food, it was rare for her to take the initiative to deliver breakfast this time. She must have something to tell him.
“Is there something important you brought me food for?” Xiang Yin asked.
Gu Man’s brain was still a little short-circuited. Xiang Yin’s voice was clearly no different from usual, but the moment he spoke, Gu Man could imagine the scene she had just seen. She even felt that his voice was hoa.r.s.e and magnetic.
“I just wanted to ask if you know of any relatively easy and high-paying jobs?”
“The most important thing for you now is your studies. If you lack money, you can look for me.”
Hearing the other party’s suddenly serious tone, Gu Man could not help but laugh. The atmosphere was much better than before.
“No, I want to find a job for Uncle.”
Xiang Yin recalled Huang Jun, whom he had met a few times before. After thinking for a moment, he deliberated and said, “I’m not sure about your uncle’s abilities. I don’t know what kind of work he can do.”
Although the Huang Family had been pulled down by the Gu Family, her uncle had received proper education and his abilities were definitely not bad. Gu Man replied, “I’ll send you a summary after I’ve sorted it out.”
“Okay.”
Gu Man hurriedly hung up and threw her phone aside, in a daze.
The erotic scene appeared in front of her again. She stood up abruptly, opened the door, and walked out.
Huang Jun and Huang Jue were already awake. Huang Jue was showing off in his new clothes. When Gu Man approached, she could hear Huang Jun reprimanding him.
“We’re already grateful that your sister can take us in. How can you spend your sister’s money? You still bought so many clothes!”
The long period of poverty made Huang Jun worry about money at all times. Gu Man felt inexplicably sad when she saw this scene. Perhaps the emotions of the original owner of her body were also affecting her.
“Uncle, it didn’t cost much. Huang Jue is going to high school soon, so he naturally has to dress up more.”
“He’s a boy. Why does he need to dress up? You should keep the money for yourself. He’s still growing, he can’t wear these clothes for long and they’ll have to be thrown away.”
Huang Jun touched the fabric on Huang Jue’s body with heartache. Although his family was in dire straits, he was experienced and naturally knew that these clothes were not cheap.
