Chapter 143 I Don’t Look Down on You
Gu Dong first took two cookies and gave one to his cousin, "Sister Yanyan, this cookie is delicious."
Gu Qiuyan took it and took a bite. It was crispy, sweet and indeed delicious.
"Hmm... not bad." But it's still not as delicious as the amber walnuts made by her sister Xiaohui.
Zhou Xinhong also wanted to eat cookies, but she didn't want to reach out to Gu Qiuyan to get them, as she felt it was too embarrassing.
She gritted her teeth secretly, looked at Gu Qiuyan and said, "Try the coffee, it's a good thing from abroad."
The latter looked at her, picked up the black coffee and smelled it first.
It smells quite nice, sweet, milky, and has a special aroma.
Gu Qiuyan lowered her head and took a sip, frowning slightly.
A hint of excitement flashed in Zhou Xinhong's eyes, and she couldn't wait to see her make a fool of herself.
"How is it?" Zhan Lang also paid attention to Gu Qiuyan's expression and asked. If she was not used to drinking it, he would make her some malted milk.
Gu Qiuyan smacked her lips, savored the flavor carefully, and made a comment.
"It has a sweet milky flavor and a smooth texture. It's a little bitter, but it's not bad."
After saying that, he took another big sip.
She loves to eat chili peppers, which makes her very hot-tempered and prone to getting angry easily. Her mother-in-law always goes to the mountains to pick bitter gourds and makes bitter gourd tea for her to drink.
She could still accept this little bit of bitterness.
Zhou Xinhong, who didn't see Gu Qiuyan making a fool of herself, bit her lower lip in hatred.
She is a country girl, but she can actually drink coffee.
Seeing that she was used to drinking, Zhan Lang felt relieved and sat on the sofa next to Gu Qiuyan with a smile.
"I added three sugar cubes to this coffee for you. My mom usually only adds one sugar cube. It's so bitter, but only she can drink it."
Although there is coffee at his house, neither he nor his father likes to drink it, only his mother likes it.
I also always invite aunties who like to drink coffee to my home for coffee.
Zhou Xinhong stared at her brother Zhan with wide eyes. No wonder this country girl didn't make a fool of herself. It turned out that brother Zhan added so much sugar to her!
Why is he so nice to this country girl?
Zhou Xinhong was so jealous that her eyes turned red. Of course, she was not the only one with red eyes, Sun Wenxiu also had hers.
Gu Qiuyan tilted her head. Even if she only added a piece of sugar, could it be more bitter than Kuding tea?
Zhou Xinhong took a deep breath, suppressed her jealousy, and controlled her facial expression.
Pretending to be innocent, he looked at Gu Qiuyan who had put down her coffee cup and asked, "Sister Gu, I heard that many girls in your country don't have any education. Did you not have any education either?"
"Crunch." Gu Qiuyan picked up the peanut candy, took a bite, and gave Zhou Xinhong a blank look.
The latter said tealy, "I don't mean anything else, I'm just curious."
Gu Qiuyan chewed the peanut candy and swallowed it before saying, "Do you think this is the old society? Of course there are books to read, it's just a matter of how much."
"How much education have you received? Did you graduate from elementary school?" Sun Wenxiu asked.
She behaves so crudely, she must have only graduated from elementary school, right?
How could Gu Qiuyan not know that they were asking this to embarrass her, but she still answered truthfully: "No, I graduated from junior high school."
Zhou Xinhong exclaimed, "Ah!" and then whispered, "You're only in junior high school."
"What's wrong with junior high school? Do you look down on junior high school students?" Gu Qiuyan looked at them and asked.
"Nowadays, graduating from junior high school is considered educated, right? How many people can get into high school or college these days? There are so many people in this world who are looked down upon by you."
She didn't think it was shameful that she was just a junior high school student. Her father was also a junior high school student, but now he is the deputy head of the group, isn't he?
"We don't mean that." Zhou Xinhong quickly denied.
Zhan Lang frowned at Zhou Xinhong and Sun Wenxiu. They didn't say their contempt for him explicitly, but it showed in their expressions and tone.
Noticing Zhan Lang's displeased look, Sun Wenxiu quickly explained: "Brother Zhan, we don't look down on Miss Gu."
Gu Qiuyan: "It doesn't matter even if there is. I look down on you anyway."
When Zhou Xinhong heard this, she immediately pointed at Gu Qiuyan and said excitedly, "Brother Zhan, listen to this."
Zhan Lang looked at Gu Qiuyan in surprise, then smiled. Her frankness was really commendable.
He laughed?
Zhou Xinhong was so jealous that she went crazy. But when Brother Zhan heard the country girl say that she looked down on them, instead of getting angry, he smiled at her?
Why?
Why is this?
When Gu Qiuyan saw Zhan Lang smiling at her, she immediately frowned and shrank back, "Why are you smiling at me? It's creepy."
The handsome young man, showing eight teeth, froze in his smile and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
It was the first time that someone called him scary.
"We've had our coffee and snacks, so we'll go back first." Gu Qiuyan said as she stood up.
She didn't want to stay with annoying people. She would feel uncomfortable if she stayed there for too long.
When Gu Dong heard that they were leaving, he quickly grabbed a few cookies and put them in his pocket to take back for his older sisters, brothers and younger brothers who were not home.
Seeing her leaving, Zhan Lang, who was devastated, quickly stood up and said, "I'll see you off."
"No need." Gu Qiuyan glanced at Zhou Xinhong and Sun Wenxiu, whose eyes were red, and said, "Spend more time with your two good sisters."
Zhan Lang still sent the brother and sister to the gate.
"See you next time, Little Pepper." The corners of his mouth were about to rise, but he controlled himself again when he remembered what she had just said.
Gu Qiuyan glanced at him, turned and left. She didn't want to see him again next time.
Watching her leave without looking back, Zhan Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Then he looked at the guard at the door and asked, "Brother Wen, is my smile really that creepy?"
After saying that, he smiled at the guard.
The guard was stunned for a moment. He asked this question for no apparent reason and even smiled at him, which was indeed a bit creepy.
But he still said against his will: "No."
"Why does she feel creepy?" Zhan Lang muttered to himself as he walked back.
When he walked into the room and saw Zhou Xinhong and Sun Wenxiu still sitting on the sofa, he frowned and said, "Xinhong, I'm a little tired. I won't explain the problem to you anymore. You can go back first."
He was about to go upstairs after saying that, but before he reached the stairs, he seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "Also, Xinhong, your foundation is too poor. You can't even answer the most basic questions, and your memory isn't very good either. You still haven't remembered the questions I explained to you the last two times."
Last time she said she understood and would do the questions at home, but this time she picked it up and asked him again.
It was obvious that she didn't listen to him seriously at all, or perhaps she didn't come here to ask him for help with the questions.
"It's no use asking me to explain the questions to you. You should ask Aunt Sun to hire a tutor for you and help you improve your basics, starting from junior high school."
She looked down on Xiao Lajiao because she graduated from junior high school. But she was a high school student. She had not mastered the high school knowledge and did not remember what she had learned in junior high school. How could she be much better than others?
“…” Zhou Xinhong’s face flushed red, and she felt as if she was stripped naked. Embarrassment, embarrassment, and shame filled her whole body.
Finally, she covered her face and ran out of the Zhan family's small Western-style building crying.
