Chapter 499 Inquiry
Han Zhengping had something else to do today, so he didn't go to class with Gu Siqing, but he agreed to pick her up after school. Gu Siqing walked into the classroom with a smile on her face. Wu Qianyi received the punishment she deserved, and she was very happy.
"Why are you so happy today?" Hu Jiajia asked Gu Siqing when she saw her smiling face.
"Something happy happened." Gu Siqing said.
Hu Jiajia didn't ask in detail, but whispered to her, "Dong Jianhong cried under her covers as soon as she returned to the dormitory yesterday. She looked extremely sad."
Everyone has a gossipy heart, including Gu Siqing. She also asked Hu Jiajia in a low voice, "Why?"
Hu Jiajia shook her head. "I asked her but she didn't say anything. I think it has something to do with her boyfriend."
"Aren't they two getting along well?" Gu Siqing said. She always saw Meng Qianjin coming to the school to look for Dong Jianhong.
Hu Jiajia shrugged. "Who knows?"
Class started, and the two stopped chatting. However, Gu Siqing felt that Dong Jianhong was a good match for Meng Qianjin. Although Meng Qianjin had a better family background than Dong Jianhong, he only graduated from high school and did not have a good reputation in Kyoto.
Meng Qianjin's bad reputation is quite different from Zhang Zijun's bad reputation before. Zhang Zijun used to be playful and did things casually without any scruples. To put it bluntly, he was reckless.
But he was very chaste in his relationships with women. It was said that Meng Qianjin was a playboy, with quite a few women involved. Dong Jianhong's family background wasn't as good as Meng Qianjin's, but he was a top student at Peking University and had a clean record in his relationships with women.
So Gu Siqing felt that Dong Jianhong was a good match for Meng Qianjin. As for Meng Qianjin's fickleness, Dong Jianhong had been with him for such a long time, how could she not know?
Since she knew it, she still chose to continue to be with him, which means that she could accept Meng Qianjin's infidelity.
Of course, this was someone else's business, and she was just gossiping and didn't take it to heart. But she didn't expect that when she got home from school that afternoon, she would see Meng Qianjin's mother, Wang Duanjing, at her house.
Seeing her and Han Zhengping coming back together, Wang Duanjing smiled and praised them both, saying they were a perfect match, childhood sweethearts, etc. They were both a little embarrassed by the praise.
"Your Aunt Wang wants to ask you something." Wang Yueju asked Gu Siqing to sit down. Han Zhengping saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he went to another room.
"All the children in your family are hardworking and obedient. Even Zijun has become particularly motivated now." Wang Duanjing's tone was full of envy.
She envied Zhang Zijun for finding a good wife. Ever since he started dating Gu Erhui, she'd seen him getting better day by day. She also hoped her son, Meng Qianjin, could find a wife like Gu Erhui and help him become a better person.
but
"Xiao Si, I heard that you and Dong Jianhong were classmates and lived in the same dormitory?" Wang Duanjing looked at Gu Siqing and asked.
Gu Siqing understood that he was here to ask about Dong Jianhong. She said, "Yes, but we're not very familiar with each other. I haven't lived in the dormitory since my sophomore year."
"How can classmates not be familiar with each other? Don't you have a bad relationship?" Wang Duanjing asked again.
"Auntie Wang, relationships between people are very strange. Some people can be together day and night, but their relationship won't be very good. But some people can become good friends just by meeting once. It doesn't matter who is good or bad. Dong Jianhong and I are the kind of people who can't be close even if we are together day and night."
Gu Siqing didn't want to say anything bad about Dong Jianhong, but she also didn't want to say anything good about her.
Wang Duanjing was a little confused by what Gu Siqing said, but she understood the general meaning, which was that the Gu family's mistress and Dong Jianhong didn't get along. This made her impression of Dong Jianhong even worse.
What a wonderful child the Gu family's Xiaosi is! He's a good student, well-behaved, and smiles before anyone even speaks. If Dong Jianhong and Gu Xiaosi don't get along, it must be Dong Jianhong's fault.
Therefore, as long as a person is prejudiced against another person, everything that person does is wrong.
"That evil star in our family is determined to get engaged to Dong Jianhong." Wang Duanjing sighed deeply and added, "You all know what kind of personality he has. I just want to find him a down-to-earth wife who can manage him. But no matter how I look at it, Dong Jianhong is not suitable."
Gu Siqing thought to herself, if you have such a request, Dong Jianhong will definitely not agree. At least not with Dong Jianhong's stubborn personality and her love of comparing herself with others. Of course, this is someone else's family matter, so she won't say much.
"You have to take a closer look at your child's marriage," Wang Yueju said. "They haven't graduated yet, so you should take a closer look."
"I want to take a closer look, but that evil star of mine insists on getting engaged right away." Wang Duanjing looked worried.
Wang Yueju and Gu Siqing didn't know what to say about this. Wang Duanjing asked Gu Siqing some more questions about Dong Jianhong, and Gu Siqing told her the truth. Finally, Wang Duanjing left with a sigh.
Wang Yueju walked her to the door and came back to tell Gu Siqing, "Don't worry about their affairs. Meng Qianjin is fine in other aspects, but he's very unfaithful. But for this reason, whoever marries him will suffer."
Gu Siqing thought to herself, even so, many women still threw themselves at him.
"I know. I have never had a good relationship with Dong Jianhong." Gu Siqing said as she walked towards her room where Han Zhengping was.
Entering the house, Han Zhengping was sitting on the sofa reading a book. Gu Siqing walked over and leaned next to him and said, "Different people have different definitions of happiness."
Han Zhengping put down the book in his hand, pulled the man into his arms and said, "Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?"
Gu Siqing told the story of Meng Qianjin and Dong Jianhong. Han Zhengping said after listening, "Happiness is a feeling after a person's material and spiritual pursuits are satisfied. Different people have different pursuits, so naturally their definition of happiness is different.
We think someone like Meng Qianjin isn't a good match, but the Meng family is well-off, and Meng Qianjin can make money on his own, and these are the two things many people pursue."
Gu Siqing shrugged, stopped talking about other people's affairs, and asked him, "When are you leaving?"
"We have to leave tomorrow." Han Zhengping's tone was filled with reluctance, but after all, he had not graduated yet and had already wasted a lot of time, so he had to go back immediately.
"Then I'll see you off." Although Gu Siqing was reluctant to leave, she didn't show it. After all, she would be back in two months.
Han Zhengping hummed, then continued, "Xu Yusen wants to open a business club in Kyoto. He said he's interested in your house next to the Summer Palace. He'll probably talk to you about buying shares in the next few days. Consider it yourself."
"What kind of club is it?" Gu Siqing asked.
"Since he's going to do this, it must be of a high standard. He plans to charge a membership fee of at least 100,000 yuan." Han Zhengping said, "He has connections, so running the business shouldn't be a problem."
"That means if I use my house as a share, I can just make money without doing anything?" Gu Siqing asked.
Han Zhengping chuckled, "Yes, you should be able to make money without doing anything."
"That's great! I'll invest!"
