Chapter 498 Playing the Raising Game?
Gu Yin's phone rang as soon as she stepped out of the school gate.
"Look to the left, over there at the black car."
Gu Yin turned her head and saw Chu Yan waving at her through the window of the black car.
Gu Yin hung up the phone and walked over there.
None of the Chu family's cars were understated. As Gu Yin approached, she saw many male students gathered around, some even taking photos with their phones, which showed how much they loved the cars.
Seeing that Chu Yan was about to get out of the car, Gu Yin quickly ran over and said, "You don't need to get out."
With his looks and charisma, she'll be on the forum's front page tomorrow!
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan pulled his long legs back down.
Once in the car, Chu Yan handed Gu Yin a delicate bouquet of roses.
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "That's quite romantic."
Chu Yan coughed lightly: "I learned it from my dad. Whenever my dad invites my mom out for dinner, shopping, or a date, he always prepares a bouquet of roses. My dad says it's a surprise and also a courtesy. Do you like it?"
Gu Yin lowered her head to smell it, then nodded with a smile: "I really like it, it's a pleasant surprise. What shall we go eat?"
Chu Yan turned the car around and said, "How about hot pot? It'll warm you up. It's quite cold today. Or do you have anything else you'd like to eat?"
"Let's have hot pot then! It's been so long since I've had it. It's gotten much colder today, perfect!"
The car quickly arrived at a hot pot restaurant with a very retro decor.
The restaurant was quite crowded, but not as lively as the hot pot restaurants outside.
"Would you like to sit in a private room or in the main hall?" The waiter led the two forward.
"Let's get a booth, find one by the window."
Chu Yan had been here a few times and explained to Gu Yin, "This shop is run by people in our circle. The main customers are people like us. It's more interesting to sit in the living room, and you can also enjoy the view from the window."
Gu Yin didn't care; she was fine with sitting anywhere.
When they finally got to their seats, she had to admit that the window seat was really nice. Outside the window was Beijing's famous lake. She hadn't noticed it while she was in the car, but now that she looked outside, she realized that the shop was located inside the Wangfu Scenic Area!
To be able to open a shop here, it seems like someone with money and connections is someone who doesn't lack for resources.
After we ordered, the waiter went to prepare the food.
Gu Yin took out her phone: "I'll tell my dad and the others, otherwise they'll be waiting for me to come back for dinner."
Chu Yan took her coat and hung it on the rack next to her, smiling as she said, "I came from your house. I've already told your uncle and the others that your brother didn't have class this afternoon, so I took him out for a bit. Otherwise, he would definitely have come over tonight to be a third wheel."
Gu Yin opened her phone and, sure enough, saw Gu Shu's message.
Gu Shu: "Sis, where are you having a big meal? Can I mooch a meal?"
Gu Yin smiled and replied, "No." Then she ignored his roar.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yan laughed and said, "Did Gu Shu bother you?"
Gu Yin: "How did you guess?"
Chu Yan handed her his phone: "I drove to the school gate, and his messages haven't stopped."
Gu Yin took the results and flipped through them. They were all accusations that Chu Yan valued women over friends. He only stopped complaining when Chu Yan promised to bring him a late-night snack half an hour ago.
Gu Yin: "...Has he forgotten that I'm his sister?"
Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh. Was it easy for him to infiltrate their ranks?
The hot pot broth and vegetables were served quickly. Gu Yin looked at the bright red broth, and her mouth immediately watered!
After that, Chu Yan served the dishes while Gu Yin ate them. After eating until she was half full, Gu Yin rested for a while.
When are you leaving tomorrow?
Chu Yan poured her a drink: "This afternoon, next August, I will graduate early and become a part-time graduate student. After returning from this trip, my supervisor agreed that I only need to go and take the exam."
Gu Yin blinked: "Double degree?"
Chu Yan nodded: "Finance and law, I'll pursue a master's degree in finance."
Gu Yin exclaimed in admiration, "Amazing!"
They are indeed very capable. Gu Yin is smart because she has her own opportunities, while Chu Yan relies entirely on himself.
Chu Yan was pleased with Gu Yin's praise and said with a smile, "I'm not as good as you. My dad often calls me and constantly nags me, saying that I'm neither as smart as you nor as wealthy as you. He says that if I don't work hard, you'll look down on me. It scares me so much that I can't sleep. I wish I could split into 10 people and have them all work day and night!"
Here he comes again, playing the victim.
Gu Yin picked up a chili pepper and put it in his bowl: "Eat a chili pepper, and burn away the love brain that's grown inside you."
Chu Yan: "- -!"
Seeing his speechless expression, Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft! Do you think I don't know how outstanding you are? Don't listen to your dad, don't be anxious. Besides, all of my family's assets were earned by my grandfather. I'll be staying in the lab from now on and won't have time to make money, so you're still the one with money, don't worry."
Chu Yan thought about it and agreed: "From now on, you'll be in charge of doing experiments to serve the country, and I'll be in charge of earning money to support the family and take care of the children." It sounded wonderful.
Gu Yin: "...Aren't you thinking a little too far ahead?"
Chu Yan raised an eyebrow: "How far is it? It's only a few years away. I'll work on another case when I get back to school tomorrow and try to earn more money for baby formula!"
Gu Yin didn't say anything, but put another chili pepper in his bowl.
Chu Yan: "..."
"When did Young Master Chu return to the country? He didn't even tell me he was coming to the store!"
A lazy male voice came from behind Gu Yin. Gu Yin turned around and saw a man with a roguish air, dressed casually, and about the same age as Chu Yan walking over.
Chu Yan looked up, saw the person who came, and said with a smile, "I just got back last night and will be leaving tomorrow. It's a short trip, so I didn't tell you. I just came here for a meal. What did I call you here for?"
After saying that, he introduced Gu Yin: "This is Long Yu, a friend."
Gu Yin extended her hand: "Hello, Zhou Guyin."
Long Yu glanced at Chu Yan and, seeing no perfunctory attitude in his eyes, extended his hand and said seriously, "Hello, Miss Zhou. I am Long Yu, and I was Chu Yan's classmate in elementary and middle school."
After speaking, Long Yu sat down next to Chu Yan and nudged him on the shoulder: "What's going on? Something's up? How come I didn't know anything about this? Are we still brothers?"
Long Yu was from a high-class family in Jiuwu City, the highest level. The Chu family was rich, so when Chu Yan was in elementary school, they sent him to the affiliated elementary and middle schools of the government. That's how Chu Yan met Long Yu.
After graduating from junior high school, Long Yu was sent away from Beijing. No one knew where he went. Chu Yan knew that the other party's family background was not simple, but he did not intend to enter the other party's circle.
After all, he was just a businessman's son, and in those people's eyes, he was insignificant.
Long Yu reappeared in Beijing in the last two years. However, Chu Yan was busy with his studies abroad and didn't have much time to get together. The last time was when he went abroad with his teacher and met Long Yu in the warring country. Chu Yan didn't know what Long Yu was doing there. Chu Yan didn't ask, and Long Yu didn't say either. Chu Yan originally thought that the two of them would become strangers after not contacting each other for so long, but Long Yu's outgoing personality meant that time was never a problem.
Chu Yan got up and sat down next to Gu Yin. He looked at Long Yu and saw his gossipy eyes. He said helplessly, "Nothing much, it's just what you think, but it hasn't happened yet."
Long Yu looked at Gu Yin, surprised. This girl was exceptionally beautiful, yet Chu Yan pursued her and still couldn't win her over! Impressive!
Long Yu gave Gu Yin a thumbs up: "Amazing! Come on, I must toast you!" He then asked the waiter to bring over some beer.
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "Have a beverage instead. I'm a minor and can't drink alcohol."
Long Yu blinked and looked at Chu Yan: "You beast! Chu Yan! I have to say something to you! You're still young! And you're already having these kinds of thoughts! You're walking on the edge of crime! I have to criticize you!"
Chu Yan sighed helplessly, "Didn't I just say we're not together yet? Shut up and be quiet."
Long Yu coughed lightly, touched his nose, and looked at Gu Yin: "Which family's daughter is she from? Do your parents know? You absolutely mustn't let Chu Yan's sweet talk and sugar-coated bullets win you over!"
Gu Yin found him quite interesting. When he said those words, he was serious and wasn't joking just because he knew Chu Yan.
“My parents know about the Zhou family’s daughter, and his whole family knows about her too.”
Long Yu exclaimed in surprise: "We've been waiting for you to grow up?"
Gu Yin nodded: "We'll get engaged when we come of age."
Long Yu silently looked at Chu Yan: "You little brat, did you go astray abroad? You've really got some tricks up your sleeve!"
Gu Yin couldn't help but burst out laughing; this person was just too funny.
Chu Yan's face darkened, and he reached out to push the person: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go away, don't stay here, or I'll hit someone if you keep talking."
