Early on the weekend morning, Mingzhuo got up and went for a morning exercise.
She's been studying coding problems until late at night lately, and even she feels her cervical spine is starting to give out.
The air by the lake was fresh in the morning, and the weather was nice, so many people came here to exercise.
Mingzhuo recalled that He Wangyao had said that Gu Xu also had the habit of exercising in the morning, and that he had seen him once when he first arrived.
I didn't see him today, though, I wonder if it was because there were too many people.
She always felt that Mr. Gu was somewhat socially awkward, as if he didn't like to have too much contact with people. Even Luowu Residence was quiet and deserted, like a beautiful showroom, without a trace of human life.
But the other party is on good terms with local natives like Du Fenglang, which makes him seem like a gangster.
In short, he has many contradictions.
As she walked into the house, she saw Gu Xu sitting in the living room.
"Mr. Gu, what brings you here?" This is truly unexpected; he actually came to visit so early in the morning.
Gu Xu: "I need your help with something. Could you come with me to Cloud Mist University?"
Mingzhuo realized that something must have happened to a student or a faculty member at the school.
Just as he was speaking, Ruan Mingying came downstairs.
"Zhuozhuo, are you going to Yunwu University today? That's perfect. Let Xuanxuan take you. She's going to Yunwu University today too, and she knows the area better."
After a pause, she asked, "Zhuozhuo, are you also going to school to help the teachers? Xuanxuan used to help the teachers all the time."
This was another beautiful misunderstanding, and Mingzhuo silently decided to remain silent.
Gu Xu was driving today. When they arrived at school, Ruan Mingxuan asked, "Where are you going? Do you need me to take you there?"
Mingzhu shook his head. "No need."
She looked at Ruan Mingxuan for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Second sister, did you bring the amulet that eldest sister got from the temple?"
Ruan Mingxuan was puzzled: "I brought it, it's in my clothes. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
My eldest sister has recently become devoted to Buddhism. She not only brought a Buddha statue home to worship, but also got peace charms for the family members, requiring them to wear them every day. She said that she had been offering them in front of the Buddha altar for half a year and they were very effective.
Although she didn't believe in these things, she didn't want to disappoint her elder sister's good intentions.
Mingzhuo nodded: "Then it's alright. Second sister, you go ahead and get busy. See you later."
The two sisters agreed to call each other after they finished their work, and then they parted ways.
Gu Xu asked, "Will your second sister be alright?"
Otherwise, Mingzhuo wouldn't have asked about the peace charm for no reason.
Mingzhuo: "It's nothing, just a minor hiccup. By the way, what exactly happened on your end?"
Before Gu Xu could speak, a boy walked over and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Gu? My teacher asked me to pick you up."
As he spoke, he looked around. It was the weekend, and there were hardly any classes at school. There weren't many people around so early, so the target should be easy to spot.
Zhong Yufei searched for a while but couldn't find the target, so he could only ask, "Mr. Gu, may I ask where the master is?"
Gu Xu gestured to Ming Zhuo, "This is the master."
Zhong Yufei's eyes widened slightly. If his teacher hadn't told him to respect Mr. Gu, he would have even suspected that the other party was joking with him.
This girl looks like she's only in high school, so high school students can become masters?
He knew that all industries were highly competitive these days, but he didn't realize that being a Taoist priest was just as competitive, having to start taking on clients at such a young age.
Zhong Yufei, looking utterly bewildered, led the way and explained the situation.
The person involved in this incident was his teacher's daughter, Song Wanning, who was also his senior from a different department.
His teacher, Wang Xiuluan, divorced more than ten years ago. Through an introduction, she met Song Zhili, a widow with a child, and they formed a remarried family.
In order to provide Song Wanning with a good family environment, the couple did not have any more children after their marriage.
Song Wanning is also very close to her stepmother. She has been very sensible and independent since childhood. She even got into Yunwu University, one of the top 5 universities in the country, based on her unremarkable exam scores.
In Zhong Yufei's memory, Song Wanning was a true academic star, a prominent figure in the law school, and a top student who attracted attention even without relying on her parents' fame.
Until three months ago, Song Wanning seemed to have suddenly become a different person.
Not only did he neglect his studies, but he also started reading strange books, such as "Admonitions for Women," to instruct the girls around him to obey the three obediences and four virtues.
The teacher and his wife couldn't accept that their daughter had become like an old-fashioned feudal man. After investigating the reason, they discovered that their daughter was in love with a hairdresser.
This is really strange. It's not that they discriminate against each other, it's just that the man's thinking and vision are obviously not good enough. How could their carefully raised daughter possibly fall for someone like that?
The couple worried that their daughter was being manipulated and tried to talk to her properly, but every time they talked, it led to an argument.
Song Zhili thought that it was because his daughter had never been in a relationship that she was deceived by the smooth-talking Tony. Since that was the case, she might as well meet more men.
He arranged for many young men from similar backgrounds and with similar educational backgrounds to go on blind dates with his daughter, but this provoked strong resistance from Song Wanning.
Not only did she belittle those outstanding young people, she also said, "Are you all jealous of my happiness? Do you think I married a poor man and didn't get a good price, so you're losing out?" Now I realize that having a stepmother really does bring a stepfather.
These words deeply saddened the elderly couple, who never imagined that their daughter viewed them in this way.
Three days ago, Song Wanning suddenly proposed to suspend her studies and get married.
She flaunted her happiness on social media, explaining the difficulties of her relationship with her boyfriend, who was always judged by worldly standards. Her parents disliked her boyfriend's low social status and lack of money for a dowry, and even tried to break them up.
