The butler bowed respectfully.
"Um!"
Guo Jingzhu's voice was clearer than usual, and she walked into the living room with brisk steps.
In just one day, her situation at school changed dramatically.
After she bravely confronted Zhou Zhishan and Li Siqi in the morning and revealed the news that she had visited Mr. Kobayashi's house, her classmates at school no longer dared to underestimate her, the young lady of the Guo family.
The eyes of the classmates around who were originally indifferent or on the sidelines immediately changed.
Repulse Bay Three? Mr. Kobayashi? Invitation to visit? Requesting my phone number?!
This information is too explosive!
In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the girls' school.
The wealthy ladies who originally regarded Guo Jingzhu as a marginal figure in the circle and even looked down on her, changed their attitude 180 degrees.
During the morning tea break, she was enthusiastically surrounded by several girls who usually looked down on her and had prominent status.
"Jingzhu! Did you really go to Mr. Kobayashi's house yesterday? What was he like? Was he as handsome and mysterious as the legend says?"
"Hey, Miss Guo, I thought you were very elegant at the last charity sale! And the school uniform you're wearing today has a different style from everyone else's!"
"Zhuzhu, are you free this weekend?
That newly opened French restaurant is great. Shall we go try it together?
Oh, by the way, speaking of Mr. Xiaolin's house...if I have the chance to visit him in the future, would you mind bringing my sisters along so we can broaden our horizons?"
"That's right! We are all sisters, Miss Guo, please remember us when good things happen!"
The deliberately close calls of "Jingzhu", "Zhuzhu", "Sister Guo", and the faces full of smiling and flattering smiles made Guo Jingzhu feel a little dizzy.
In school, she had never experienced this feeling of being so popular and standing on clouds.
After returning home, Guo Jingzhu walked briskly through the entrance.
The halo of light from the crystal chandelier in the living room shone on her exquisite school uniform. Who could have thought that the embarrassment of accidentally entering Mr. Kobayashi's house yesterday would become the opportunity to attract the attention of the entire school today?
She was immersed in this vanity, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the cuffs of her uniform.
Those wealthy ladies who had once looked on her coldly now kept talking about "going to Repulse Bay No. 3" as if they had a very good relationship with her.
How ridiculous.
So...refreshing.
But when Guo Jingzhu looked at the gilded telephone, her excited heart suddenly sank.
The gentle look in Mr. Kobayashi's eyes when he asked for her number, and the smiling corners of his mouth when he invited her to visit again, were repeatedly reproduced in her memory, but now they were covered with a thin mist of hesitation.
"What Mr. Kobayashi said to me... were probably just polite words, right?"
Guo Jingzhu lay on the sofa in the living room, muttering to herself, her body curled up in the velvet sofa.
Come to think of it, he is Mr. Kobayashi!
As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong Island, he bought Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay. Many wealthy people and celebrities came to visit and make friends with him.
Guo Jingzhu felt that for a person like him, who was busy with his work on weekdays, how could such a busy man really remember her, a female student who barged in rashly and was not good-looking?
“Ding-ling-ling——!”
Suddenly, the shrill phone ring rang in the living room!
Guo Jingzhu, who was in mourning, suddenly jumped up from the sofa like an arrow, without even wearing shoes, and rushed to the phone barefoot.
However, when Guo Jingzhu's fingertips touched the cold telephone receiver...
In the shadow of the Roman column in the Guo family's living room, her cousin Liu Rumeng was sitting quietly with a book in her hand, pretending to be reading. In fact, she was watching with a smile on her face as Guo Jingzhu hurriedly went to answer the phone.
