Chapter 501 Don't get involved in that mess.
With no classes in the afternoon and still unsure what to do for her new research project, Gu Yin thought for a moment and then called Yu Lulu.
The call connected quickly: "Ayin, what's wrong?"
Where are you now?
"Us? We're in the car right now, heading to the China World Trade Center! Are you coming over?"
Gu Yin: "Yes, then I'll wait for you at the entrance of the International Trade Center." The distance from the school to the International Trade Center is very short.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin took a taxi to the China World Trade Center.
We haven't bought any new clothes for the family this winter. Everyone is wearing last year's clothes. Li Xiang and Li Mengxin are abroad, and the men in the family don't know what to buy. Wang Yanzhi's clothes are all custom-made in Hong Kong, so she doesn't have to worry about them. They are delivered to her home when the seasons change, so she didn't realize that she should prepare winter clothes.
Gu Yin only remembered it after hearing Yu Lulu mention it.
When Gu Yin arrived at the China World Trade Center, no one else had arrived yet. It was windy today, and Gu Yin was just about to go inside to avoid the wind when she saw Long Yu and a group of people coming out.
Long Yu also saw Gu Yin, said something to the person next to him, and walked towards Gu Yin: "Little sister Zhou, isn't today Monday? Are you skipping class?"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "I didn't have class this afternoon, so I came here to shop with my classmates. Is this your job?"
Long Yu nodded: "I had some business to attend to here. Where's your classmate?"
"They haven't arrived yet, but I'm here first."
Long Yu glanced at his watch: "Alright, it's windy outside, you can go inside and wait. I have to go now. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time. Chu Yan helped me out, but he's not in the country, so I can't invite him. Inviting you is the same!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "He'll be back next month for Christmas, then you can invite him."
As for what kind of busyness he was, judging from Long Yu's work, it should be some foreign trade matters, but Gu Yin didn't inquire.
"Okay! You guys can come together then! I'm off now! See you later!"
"Ah Yin!"
Gu Yin turned around and saw that it was Yu Lulu and the others.
"Who was that just now? He was so handsome!" Yu Lulu asked curiously.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "It's just a friend. Let's go inside first; the wind is too strong."
"Okay, let's go in!"
Gu Yin walked behind, and Wei Feng slowed his pace, frowning as he whispered, "How do you know the Long family?"
Gu Yin was surprised, but then she remembered that Wei Feng also came from a large compound, so he must have met Long Yu before.
"A friend I just met. What, you know him too?"
Wei Feng nodded and then shook his head: "One year during a holiday, my father was commended for his meritorious service and was invited to the Great Hall of the People to receive an award. I saw him there; he was standing next to the No. 3 leader, whose surname was Long."
Gu Yin was surprised. She had thought about Long Yu's identity and wondered if he was from a top family. She had searched online but couldn't find any information about his family background. She only found that he was currently working at the Ministry of Commerce. She never expected that he would have such a powerful background!
Wei Feng knew Gu Yin was smart, so he whispered, "People in their circle never interact with outsiders and are very mysterious. Whether it's making friends or getting married, it all needs to be discussed and decided by the family. Individuals can't do what they like. We're friends, so I'm telling you the truth in the hopes that you won't get hurt. After all, if those rich young men want to have some fun before marriage, it's hard for girls to escape. They're rich, powerful, and have good manners and a noble air that they've been raised to have since childhood. No one can resist them."
Gu Yin chuckled: "I know what you mean. Don't worry, it won't happen. We really are just friends. There's nothing else between us."
Wei Feng was relieved to hear this. After all, Gu Yin's looks were simply too stunning to be disliked. The capital city was only so big; if you knocked down a brick, two out of the three would have powerful connections. The Zhou family was already quite well-off; there was no need for them to get involved. The social circles were clearly defined, and those privileged young men and women genuinely looked down on the children of businessmen, no matter how rich they were. He was afraid that Gu Yin wouldn't understand this and would be lured in by sweet words. In that case, not only Gu Yin, but even the Zhou family behind her might be doomed. The waters ran too deep.
"It's not that I look down on you, you're very smart and your family is rich, which is something many of us can only envy. Your future is bright, there's no need for you to wade into those messy waters. It's good enough for us to live freely. But since you've said so, I'm relieved. Let's go, you girls have good taste, help us choose some clothes!"
Only the two of them knew what they were saying; no one else noticed their conversation.
Upon entering the mall, Wei Feng and Yu Cheng led them directly to the store where they usually bought clothes.
"We'd like to buy some casual clothes. Could you help us choose some nice ones that don't look too childish?"
Gu Yin looked around the store. It was very large, with down jackets, coats, sweaters, and cotton-padded coats—a complete selection, and the styles were very nice.
"Then let's buy sweaters and wear cashmere coats over them. If we feel cold, we can put on a long down jacket over them. What do you think?" Gu Yin planned to dress all the men in the family like this. It was a minimalist style that looked low-key yet very classy, and it suited them very well.
Wei Feng and Yu Cheng did not pass through like this.
"Let's go try it on first!" he said, asking Gu Yin to help them choose clothes.
Wei Feng likes black and gray, while Yu Cheng prefers warm colors. So Gu Yin got Wei Feng a turtleneck sweater, a black cashmere coat, a pair of black and gray cashmere suit pants, and a loose-fitting long black down jacket.
For Yucheng, choose a white turtleneck sweater, a beige coat, beige cashmere suit pants, and a white down jacket.
Both of them were 1.8 meters tall, and when they came out after changing their clothes, everyone was amazed.
"My God! How can you be so handsome! If you were students just now, you'd be rich kids now! If you styled your hair a bit more, people would believe you were princes from a castle!"
Xiang Xingmang circled around the two of them, praising them incessantly.
This was the first time the two of them had tried this style. Wei Feng looked at Yu Cheng and thought, "It's actually quite good-looking."
"Isn't wearing this to school a bit over the top? Isn't it too mature?"
Gu Yin pulled the two of them in front of the mirror: "Look, tell me if you like it!"
After saying that, he took out black and white cashmere scarves and cashmere hats for the two of them and had them put them on.
Wei Feng turned around, cough cough, he really is very handsome!
Yu Cheng was also reluctant: "How about we buy one like this? I don't dare to wear it alone. How about you come with me? It'll be more reassuring to have two people."
Wei Feng nodded: "Then let's get a few sets."
Afterwards, Gu Yin paired the two with some casual clothes, all in the style of the later Qian Feng: elegant, low-key, and high-quality.
Following the same style, I also bought several sets for the men in my family.
Upstairs is a women's clothing store; she went up to get a few sets for Gu Hua and herself as well.
Gu Hua was still in high school, so she bought mostly casual clothes. Gu Yin herself also liked black, white, and gray clothes, and bought several sets.
However, the clothes in this store were really nice, so Gu Yin tried on other styles.
I bought a red Chanel-style suit set, consisting of a short cashmere blazer top and cashmere shorts that reach above the knee. I changed my shoes to black knee-high boots and layered a black cashmere coat over it.
As soon as they came out, gasps of amazement echoed throughout the second floor.
"This is so beautiful!"
"She's so popular, only someone with her looks could pull it off! She has such great style!"
"Boss, do you still have that one? I want to try it too!"
The store suddenly became lively.
Xiang Xingmang and Yu Lulu were even more amazed!
"Ayin, you should try more of these vibrant colors! They're not tacky at all! They're so beautiful! Let's wear this out later!" Xiang Xingmang looked at Gu Yin and felt speechless! She really looked amazing!
Gu Yin hadn't expected it to suit her so well. She looked at it and said, "Okay, I'll just wear the set." Anyway, the undershirt was still hers, so it didn't matter if she didn't wash it. She could change it when she got back tonight. She was a little reluctant to change it now, as she was quite concerned about looking good!
Xiang Xingmang also bought a few sets for herself and Xiang Yueya as Gu Yin had suggested. However, Yu Lulu refused Gu Yin's offer to give her a few sets. It wasn't that she didn't like them, but rather that these clothes didn't give her the noble air she was looking in. But Yu Lulu wasn't ashamed. She believed that after she graduated, she would work hard to make herself worthy of such clothes!
Seeing that she was determined not to accept it, Gu Yin did not insist any further.
Everyone has their own bottom line. For Lulu, her bottom line is not to be greedy, not to take friends' kindness for granted, and not to feel guilty!
After asking the store to send the clothes home, the group changed into their new clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as I got to the first floor, I saw a group of people walk in, including men and women, and some acquaintances.
Zhao Mo's eyes haven't blinked since he saw Gu Yin coming downstairs!
"Zhou! Are you here to buy clothes too?"
Gu Yin and the others stopped in their tracks.
Because Zhao Mo spoke up, the group of people all stopped.
