Chapter 36 Learning to Knit a Scarf

Gu Qingyue looked at her with sarcasm, as if she were a clown.

"After all, it has nothing to do with you. I don't know if I deserve it, but you definitely don't. Instead of throwing a tantrum here, you might as well think about how to save the Gu family. Otherwise, when the company goes bankrupt, you'll be homeless."

Every word she spoke was precious and her words were as sharp as a knife, specifically targeting Gu Jiaxin's weak spots.

Gu Jiaxin's impotent rage was in stark contrast to Gu Qingyue's calmness, and Gu Jiaxin was completely defeated.

After Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she ignored Gu Jiaxin and turned around to leave.

Gu Jiaxin stared at Gu Qingyue's departing back. She slammed her hand against the wall fiercely. "Gu Qingyue! Just wait! One day I'm going to make you pay the price!"

…

On Sunday, Gu Qingyue was supposed to go to Song Ranran's house with Song Ranran and Xu Youning, but she received a message from her master Jiang Yan early in the morning, asking her to come to the laboratory.

It was already noon when Gu Qingyue finished her work. She rushed to the school gate in a hurry. The two of them had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing her coming, Xu Youning walked forward and pretended to complain: "My Yueyue, the college bully, you are finally here. The daylilies we have been waiting for are all cold."

The laboratory was far from the school gate, so Gu Qingyue ran all the way here. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, half bent over, and was so tired that she was out of breath.

"Something urgent happened in the lab. Since joining the institute, I have to be on call 24 hours a day."

The taxi had already arrived. Song Ranran put away her phone and urged, "Let's go, let's go. My mom was just calling to urge me."

When they arrived at the gate of the community, Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning were surprised to find that it was the Longyuan Villa District. This place could be ranked at least among the top five high-end communities in Beijing.

Song Ranran usually looks very low-key, but I didn't expect that she is also a very secretive person.

As soon as she entered the door, Song Ranran shouted at the top of her voice: "Mom, I'm back with my friends."

Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning followed her into the living room, and Meng Yan happened to come down the spiral staircase.

Although she is a mother, she has taken very good care of herself. She is tall and slender, with outstanding temperament, and is dignified and gentle.

Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning were shocked again.

Isn't this a famous Chinese fashion designer? A single design draft is worth a fortune, and his own brand MS is one of the top ten luxury brands in the world.

As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Youning was naturally familiar with the MS brand, and she also had a certain understanding of Meng Yan, one of the most famous fashion designers in China.

Gu Qingyue went online to learn about high-end brand clothes because Shang Yuze bought her a lot of them, including the MS brand. There was also a photo of the founder Meng Yan on the official website.

Song Ranran pulled the two forward and introduced them to her mother: "This is Gu Qingyue, and this is Xu Youning."

"Hello, Auntie." Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning shouted in unison.

"Come on, come on!" Meng Yan smiled kindly and warmly invited them to sit down, then went to the kitchen and brought back two plates of pastries.

"Auntie just made this snack this morning. How does it taste?"

A plate of rose flower cakes and a plate of date paste shortbread.

Xu Youning took a bite of the rose flower cake. It was crispy and soft, with a fresh rose fragrance. She said sweetly.

"It's delicious, Auntie. I didn't expect that you are not only good at designing clothes, but also good at cooking."

Meng Yan smiled from ear to ear: "You know me?"

Xu Youning nodded vigorously: "I know, I know. You are the founder of the MS brand. I love the clothes you design. I even have two evening gowns designed by you at home."

Gu Qingyue held a half-eaten jujube paste pastry in her hand and pointed at the sweater on her body and said, "Auntie, this sweater I'm wearing looks like it belongs to your brand."

Winter is coming, and Shang Yuze has someone send her a batch of new clothes. When she was changing clothes this morning, she saw the tags on them.

Meng Yan looked at it intently and said, "Indeed, this is a new model that was just put on the shelves three days ago. There are only three of them in total."

Meng Yan knew that Song Ranran was going to bring her friends home today, so she asked the nanny to prepare a large table of dishes in advance. Meng Yan spoke gently and had a good temper, without any airs of an elder.

After dinner, Meng Yan began to teach Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning how to knit scarves. Song Ranran watched from the side at first, but later found it quite interesting and started to learn along.

Meng Yan explained in detail the essentials of knitting scarves, not only demonstrating but also teaching them step by step.

The three of them were very insightful and were able to weave quite well in a short while.

Meng Yan glanced at Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning, and asked with a smile, "Who are you knitting the scarf for?"

Xu Youning concentrated on knitting the scarf in her hand: "For Mom and Dad."

Gu Qingyue smiled and said, "I'm going to give it to my boyfriend."

Meng Yan said with a smile: "She already has a boyfriend."

Xu Youning and Song Ranran thought: She is not having a boyfriend, she is getting married.

"Yeah." Gu Qingyue looked a little shy.

"What about you? When are you going to get out of being single?" Meng Yan directed the topic at Song Ranran.

Song Ranran paused for a moment, then looked up at Meng Yan and said flatteringly, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm still young. If I get married, Dad won't be home often."

As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Meng Yan's arm, saying coquettishly, "Mom, aren't you lonely at home? It would be great if I could accompany you."

Meng Yan stated the facts: "In our family, you are the only single person. Don't you need to reflect on yourself?"

"Mom, there are only three people in our family. Is this the legendary situation where you are the only third wheel in a group of three?" Song Ranran said seriously, making the three people present laugh.

"You!" Meng Yan lovingly touched her forehead with her fingertips.

Gu Qingyue couldn't help but feel envious. She had never experienced maternal love since she was a child. If her biological parents were really found, how would her mother treat her?

After an afternoon, the three of them had mastered the technique of knitting scarves. Meng Yan liked Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning very much. She asked them to measure her size and insisted on designing clothes for them. She also invited them to have dinner.

Because tomorrow is Monday, Song Ranran followed them back to school after dinner.

Before leaving, Meng Yan warned the three people in the car, "Be careful on your way back, and come visit us often when you have time."

The three of them all sat in the back seat, the windows rolled down, and Gu Qingyue and Xu Youning waved to her: "Goodbye, Auntie."

Song Ranran stuck her head out of the car window: "Mom, we're leaving, you should go back soon."

Meng Yan stood there, watching the car disappear into the night.
