Chapter 122 Gu Yin and Old Madam Zhou look remarkably alike!
During dinner, Gu Qingming looked at his family and said with a smile, "Next week, all the houses in our city will be renovated, and the large playground at the wholesale market will also be ready! We'll need to ventilate the houses for a while before we can move in, but the market can open anytime. The vendors are already urging us to open. Alang is still studying in S City and hasn't returned yet, so let's not wait for him. How about we open next week?"
The old man nodded: "Time is money. The New Year is just a month away. Let's open for business quickly and give the space to others! We can't wait for Alang anymore. We'll open next week!"
No one else objected; the whole family could go to the opening ceremony next weekend, and Gu Qingming would handle everything else.
On Sunday evening, after Gu Yin and Gu Hua dropped Gu Shu off in town, they decided not to go home and instead went back to school to study.
Around 3 p.m., there was no one around the school except for a black Mercedes parked at the entrance.
Gu Yin and Gu Hua parked their car and got out, only to see Feng Jianyue getting out of the car.
"Wow, the teacher has money! Isn't that the Mercedes-Benz we see on TV?" Gu Hua exclaimed in surprise.
As the two entered, a tall, handsome man in a suit got out of his car and grabbed Feng Jianyue's wrist, saying anxiously, "I had no idea about this. When I came back from abroad, my mother told me that you and I had broken off our engagement. I only found out about this from your aunt after I went to your house! I'm so sorry to have made you bear all this alone! But that's not what I wanted. I only want you, I don't want anyone else!"
Upon hearing his apology, Feng Jianyue immediately thought of the two words he had replied to her text message, and she was instantly furious.
"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll shout 'pervert!'"
Gu Yin and Gu Hua exchanged a glance and then walked up.
"Well, let's talk this out. Don't hurt anyone, especially the teacher," Gu Yin said awkwardly in a low voice, pointing to Feng Jianyue's wrist, which was red from being grabbed.
Xia Zhi looked down and immediately let go. Feeling sorry for the red marks, she picked them up and blew on them. While blowing on them, she also used her body to block Feng Jianyue from leaving. She couldn't leave yet, because she hadn't explained herself properly. What if Feng Jianyue wanted to break up with her if she left?
When Feng Jianyue saw that they were her students, she blushed and smiled awkwardly: "Why are you here so early? Gu Yin, have you finished your test paper? Bring it to my office later so I can take a look."
Gu Yin nodded: "I wanted to start reading early. I've already finished. I'll go to your office later. By the way, teacher, do you need any help with this?" She then looked at Xia Zhi beside her.
Feng Jianyue was already embarrassed that her private matters had been seen by her students, so how could she possibly ask them for help? She quickly waved her hand and said, "This is my friend, it's alright, you guys go in first!"
Seeing this, Gu Yin and Gu Hua turned and walked towards the campus.
"Is that the teacher's boyfriend? He's so handsome! They're such a good match! He seems so aloof on the surface, but when the teacher's hand got scratched red, he looked so distressed he almost cried, hahaha!"
Gu Yin also noticed that Feng Jianyue was just being stubborn; when she saw the man's distress, the anger in her eyes disappeared.
"It must be my boyfriend."
With no one around, Feng Jianyue reluctantly lowered her hand. Just as she was about to speak, she noticed Xia Zhi staring intently in the direction the two students had left. She asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Xia Zhi snapped out of her daze, reached out and took Feng Jianyue's hand, rubbing her wrist, and frowned, saying, "That girl named Gu Yin looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
Feng Jianyue knew Xia Zhi's character; he wasn't the type to flirt with every pretty girl he saw. So she said nonchalantly, "Pretty people all have similarities. What's the big deal?"
Xia Zhi thought it made sense and stopped worrying about it.
He looked at Feng Jianyue and said softly, "I have left the Xia family and am penniless. From now on, I am no longer the young master of the Xia family, but only Feng Jianyue's Xia Zhi."
Feng Jianyue was surprised. She took out her phone and showed him the text message from that day: "You weren't like this back then!"
Xia Zhi frowned and said coldly, "I didn't see your text message, and I would never say such a thing!" After saying that, he took out his phone and checked the text messages. When they flipped to the date of that day, they saw that there were no messages at all, obviously they had been deleted.
Xia Zhi thought back for a moment: "I attended a summit abroad. You know, it's full of big shots. I just went to take a look. After I came back, I went to the study to organize the materials I got that day. After I finished organizing them, I went back to my room to take a shower and go to sleep. I hadn't rested for two days and was very tired. When I woke up, Mu Yuxin was at home chatting with my mom. My mom gave me my phone and the coat I left in the study. I didn't think much of it at the time. I guess she must have seen my text message, replied to you, and then deleted it."
Feng Jianyue knew Madam Xia's personality. Everything had been laid bare. If she had really taken the phone, Madam Xia would have called her on the spot to teach her a lesson, rather than replying to the text message. She voiced her doubts.
Xia Zhi's eyes turned cold: "That was sent by Mu Yuxin!"
Feng Jianyue said helplessly, "She is a friend of the daughter of the Zhou family, the shipping magnates of Hong Kong. You would rather break away from the Xia family than marry her. If she tells Zhou Feifei about this, will your family suffer retaliation from the Zhou family?"
Xia Zhi pinched her cheek and laughed, "No, I saw Mr. Zhou at a summit abroad. He's a very kind person. When we asked him questions, he didn't find it tedious. He's very friendly to young people and encouraged us not to be afraid of failure. His wife is also very beautiful, gentle, and elegant! She's sixty years old, but looks like she's forty. She's very charming!" Xia Zhi's eyes lit up as she said this.
"I know why Gu Yin looked familiar, she looks so much like Old Madam Zhou! It's just that one is older and the other is a little girl, I didn't realize it at first! Really, they look so alike!"
