A cool and classical beauty, a fallen socialite, against an untamed and roguish Hong Kong scion. Five years after their breakup, Gu Xiangsi never expected to encounter her first love again upon ret...
Chapter 86 Can I have your contact information?
"Huh? Sister Xiangsi?"
Jiang Xinghe turned his head and saw Gu Xiangsi standing on the other side of the wishing tree with a bit of embarrassment on her face. His eyes lit up instantly.
"Is it really you? I was even asking my brother if I could run into you here!"
Gu Xiangsi raised his hand and waved awkwardly as a greeting.
Old Mrs. Zhou beside him looked at Fu Sinian suspiciously, "Do you know each other?"
Jiang Xinghe immediately walked over and took the old lady's arm, saying with a smile: "Grandma, this is the sister I was engaged to as a child."
Old Madam Zhou frowned and asked, "Isn't it the eldest daughter of the Gu family who is engaged to you?"
Gu Xiangsi was also stunned.
So, her childhood engagement with Jiang Xinghe was a complete misunderstanding? Could it be that Gu Dong and Gu Xianglian deliberately messed things up just to force her to marry?
Jiang Xinghe was also confused: "Grandma, are you remembering correctly?"
"Gu family...Gu Dong, I've seen that girl before. How could...they want to transplant flowers and trees?"
"Her last name is Gu anyway." Jiang Xinghe muttered. Just as she was about to say something, Fu Sinian interrupted her, "Let's talk about this after the New Year. Grandma, let's toss the wishing plate first."
The old lady nodded and turned to Gu Xiangsi: "Are you from Lin Village?"
Gu Xiangsi responded: "My grandma is from here."
"Since we all know each other, could you be our guide and show us around Lin Village?"
It was New Year's Day, and Gu Xiangsi couldn't refuse, so she nodded and agreed, standing aside waiting.
At this time, Li Xiaoyao brought out the polishing disc used for making wishes.
Gu Xiangsi was a little absent-minded at first, but was attracted by Fu Sinian's vague gaze.
His eyes were fixed on a certain spot on the wishing tree.
He tilted his head and whispered a few words in Li Xiaoyao's ear. After listening, Li Xiaoyao nodded slightly.
Gu Xiangsi was very polite and took the initiative to step forward and hold one of Mrs. Zhou's arms. Mrs. Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
Afterwards, Gu Xiangsi helped the old lady go to the Tianhou Temple.
The old lady finished praying devoutly and just turned around when Jiang Xinghe came over and said, "Sister, your grandma's house is nearby, right? Why don't we celebrate the New Year with you this year? It will be more lively with more people."
As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned for a moment. Even Old Mrs. Zhou looked at Gu Xiangsi with a smile, as if she also thought this was a good idea.
Gu Xiangsi didn't expect him to bring this up so suddenly. She was a little startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Grandma, you must like having so many people."
Jiang Xinghe saw the two-and-a-half-story house in front of her, her eyes full of curiosity. She took Gu Xiangsi's arm and said, "Sister Xiangsi, I didn't expect your grandma's house to be so beautifully decorated."
The yard was designed by Gu Xiangsi's father. It has a strong pastoral style and looks very warm.
Mrs. Zhou also felt comfortable and nodded in praise, "It's indeed well designed. It looks spacious."
As he was speaking, Lin Xiu just walked out of the door. He saw Gu Xiangsi at a glance, and then glanced at the person behind him. He was stunned for a moment: "Hey, Xiangsi, this is..."
Gu Xiangsi hurried forward to introduce them. When she pointed at Fu Sinian, the other party nodded slightly to Lin Xiu and called her "Grandma".
Gu Xiangsi was stunned for a moment. She felt that his calling her "Grandma" was particularly smooth, and she herself was a little uncomfortable with it.
Jiang Xinghe walked forward with a familiar air and said to Lin Xiu with a smile, "Hello, grandma. My name is Jiang Xinghe, and this is grandma. We wanted to celebrate the New Year with you. It would be more lively with more people. Is that okay with you?"
Lin Xiu was stunned at first, then she smiled: "Great! Usually during the New Year, it's just me and Xiangsi, it's so quiet. It will be more lively if you come!"
She turned around and asked, "Do you want to play mahjong? My two old sisters happen to be next door. I'd like to invite them over to play with us."
Mrs. Zhou agreed with a smile, and Lin Xiu looked at Gu Xiangsi again: "Xiangsi, what are you having for lunch? Why don't you go buy some vegetables?"
"No, no, grandma." Li Xiaoyao said quickly, "Our young master has prepared a lot of food in the car, enough for everyone."
Gu Xiangsi was stunned and looked at Fu Sinian.
Was this something that was prepared long ago?
Fu Sinian met her inquiring gaze and simply shrugged. "Assistant Li said the wishing tree here is very effective. My grandmother wanted to hold her grandson, so she came here."
Um?
Is this an explanation?
Assistant Li, who just walked out: "..."
He took the blame for this.
She didn't expose it, but looked at Assistant Li at the door and said, "I'll go with you to get it."
The car stopped next to a basketball court where several young people were playing.
A few curious children were gathered not far away, looking around and studying it.
The car is really too eye-catching.
Gu Xiangsi had expected that the things Fu Sinian brought would not be cheap, but when she opened the trunk, she was still stunned.
Bird's nest, top-grade American ginseng, and a set of purple clay tea sets wrapped in velvet cloth look very valuable.
"The young master specially had the oysters flown in from France, and the ice packs haven't even melted yet."
Special Assistant Li explained, pointing to the box next to him, "There are also Australian steaks. These dishes are all directly delivered from organic farms."
There are a few bottles of Moutai in the corner, next to them is Romanee-Conti red wine, and further back are various vegetables and fruits, all of which look more exquisite than those in ordinary markets.
As he was watching, Fu Sinian pulled out a large bag from the other corner of the trunk and handed it over: "Give it to the kids over there."
"You also understand this?" Gu Xiangsi glanced at him.
"Do you really think I'm a young master who has never touched water?"
Gu Xiangsi's expression clearly said, "Isn't it?", but Fu Sinian didn't respond.
She glared at him, took the bag, tore it open, and called out to the child not far away.
As soon as the children saw that there was something to take, they immediately gathered around and said, "Happy New Year, beautiful sister!"
"Everyone line up." Gu Xiangsi smiled and waved her hand. Seeing that more and more people were gathering, she thought for a moment and pointed at Fu Sinian, "This candy is not given by my sister, but by this big brother. Thank him if you want to thank him."
Gu Xiangsi's teasing intention was clearly written on her face, and it caught Fu Sinian's eye.
He was stunned for a moment, and in a trance he seemed to see the girl who watched him play basketball on the playground that year, with her eyes wide open and cheering him on happily.
Fu Sinian curled his lips, took the candy from her hand, and shouted to the children: "Line up."
Gu Xiangsi looked at the lively scene in front of him, his brows relaxed.
A voice came from the basketball court over there: "Hey, catch the ball!"
The young man who was looking at this side just now suddenly came to his senses, but the basketball was already flying straight towards him.
Fu Sinian was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He almost instinctively pulled Gu Xiangsi into his arms, caught the basketball steadily with his other hand, and threw the ball back with a flick of his wrist.
"Wow! That's amazing!" The children applauded.
The young man who caught the ball had a slightly red face. He walked over with the ball in his arms, his eyes falling on Gu Xiangsi with a bit of shyness.
"Miss, are you from Lin Village? My name is Lin Shi. I'm sorry, I almost hit you."
Fu Sinian glanced at him with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Assistant Li next to him was stunned.
This atmosphere gives me the illusion that rivals are jealous of each other!
Lin Shi didn't notice, he just looked at Gu Xiangsi and asked shyly, "Miss, can you leave me your contact information?"
