Chapter 310 Just Let Nature Take Its Course
Hearing someone calling from downstairs, Gu Yin came out of her dormitory and saw Gu Qinglang standing at the door.
"Dad! What brings you here?!" Gu Yin ran over.
Gu Qinglang glanced at his daughter's face, found nothing amiss, and smiled, "I need to talk to you about something. Shall we go outside and discuss it?"
It was too hot, so Gu Yin was too lazy to go out.
After registering Gu Qinglang at the gate, the security guard led him to the dormitory.
As they walked, she explained to Gu Qinglang, "This is considered a family building, where teachers and their families live. The remaining rooms are divided into single dormitories for students, like me and Chu Yan, who are not used to having many people or who have things to do and cannot share a room with others."
Gu Qinglang nodded, then casually asked, "By the way, has Chu Yan returned to Beijing?"
Gu Yin looked at Gu Qinglang with a puzzled expression. Usually, he would call her "Ayan" or "Ayan". Why was he calling her "Chu Yan" today?
"Not yet, it's with Grandpa Yao."
Gu Qinglang nodded and said nothing more.
The two went upstairs, and Gu Yin took a watermelon out of the refrigerator and cut it into pieces.
Gu Qinglang looked around the dormitory. It was quite large and well-equipped, even with a refrigerator. There was a reason why it was expensive.
Gu Yin handed the sliced ​​watermelon to Gu Qinglang: "What happened?"
Gu Qinglang shook his head and took a bite of the watermelon. He found it was quite sweet.
"You're good at picking watermelons. The one your mom bought yesterday wasn't sweet at all, and the rind was really thick. It wasn't tasty."
Gu Yin smiled and said, "How could I know? This was brought by Chu Yan from Grandpa Yao's place. He said that Chu's father had it flown back from abroad. Grandpa Yao's health is not very good. It's hot and he can't eat much, so Chu's father brought some watermelon over. There are still some in the refrigerator. You can take two back with you after you leave. I can't eat that many."
Gu Qinglang felt a pang of sadness. He ate several bites in a row before finally asking, "Are you two together?"
Gu Yin was surprised, and blinked when she saw how calmly he asked the question.
She shook her head slightly: "No, I'm not an adult yet."
Will you be together after you grow up?
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Did someone say something to you?"
Gu Qinglang put down the watermelon in his hand and sighed: "Yesterday at the store, several people asked me if my daughter was going to marry into the richest family. They said that if you got involved with the richest man, our family would be living a life of luxury, and that we should stop opening the store. Your mother and I were completely stunned. When we pressed them for details, they said they had heard it from others. Later, your grandfather also called and said that someone had gone to the village to ask them about this."
Gu Yin: "...I haven't heard about this at school. Is this a setup against me?" She hasn't offended anyone recently. Even the newspaper guy has left Jiang City. Who's targeting her?
"So is this true or false?" Gu Qinglang asked Gu Yin.
Gu Yin said helplessly, "It's definitely fake now, but I'm not sure if it will be real in the future. There are so many variables in the future, it's hard to say. Dad, tell Grandpa and Grandma that if anyone asks again, just say I'm a minor, and don't respond to anything else, it's too boring."
Gu Qinglang pursed his lips upon hearing this: "You really like Chu Yan?"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows: "You don't like him? You were the one who introduced him to our family in the first place."
Gu Qinglang: "..." Suffocating!
He liked him, and Chu Yan was indeed very outstanding, but... but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
"Oh, don't worry about it. We know each other well, and we're not planning to be together anytime soon. Let's wait until I'm an adult first. And being together doesn't mean we'll get married right away, right? Your daughter is still yours! Don't worry! As for those sour comments, there's no need to pay them any attention. We have more money than we can spend, and in terms of social status, we're a good match. Most importantly, your daughter is very outstanding! She has a bright future! Being with me is Chu Yan's good luck! So you don't need to worry, just let things take their course!"
Gu Qinglang thought about it and agreed. His daughter was so outstanding, whoever was with her would be lucky!
"As long as you know it yourself, that's fine. Later, have Chu Yan investigate and see who spread the rumors!"
Even if he didn't say it, Gu Yin wanted to know who was behind it all.
When Gu Qinglang left, he took two watermelons with him.
After seeing the person off to the car, Gu Yin returned to the school and saw Zhou Meng and the other two.
"Are you going out?" Gu Yin asked the three of them with a smile.
Zhou Meng nodded and smiled, "Let's go out for a stroll over the weekend. I just went downstairs to your building, and the security guard said you were out. How about we go together?"
Thinking about the competition next month, Gu Yin sighed and shook her head: "I don't have time, I still have to go back and do the test papers!"
The three immediately clasped their hands in a fist and palm salute: "We are truly impressed! We mortals will not disturb the great master's cultivation any longer! Farewell!"
Gu Yin smiled and shook her head: "Go on, it's hot, don't get a tan!"
After finishing speaking, she prepared to leave, but then, as if remembering something, she put down her foot and looked at the three of them.
Have you heard any rumors about me and Chu Yan lately?
Zhou Meng blinked: "I heard that, isn't that normal? It would be abnormal if you two weren't together. Anyway, the students at our school are used to it, there's nothing to be surprised about."
Whenever these two have free time, you can't see them strolling around the school playground. Occasionally, you can see them in the cafeteria. If you can't find one of them, just ask the other, and they'll definitely know. The school teachers turn a blind eye. After all, when two top students are together, you can't say anything, let alone that they're not even dating.
Gu Yin: "...Okay, you guys go have fun."
Seeing Gu Yin like this, the three of them laughed.
"As for the other sarcastic remarks, my classmates said that the value Gu Yin can create in the future is far more valuable than money and material possessions! She may very well benefit humanity! To associate money with Gu Yin is a desecration of a genius! We all agree! Genius! Go study hard!"
After saying that, the three of them laughed and ran out of the school.
Gu Yin: "...Who said something so childish?!"
In the evening, Chu Yan called and asked her to go out. Today was Grandpa Yao's birthday banquet, but it was not a big event. It was just a meal among acquaintances. Grandpa Yao asked Gu Yin to go as well.
After Gu Yin exited the school gate and got into the car, she looked at Chu Yan and said, "Let's go to the mall."
She drank all the tea I bought before, and now I don't have any suitable gifts to offer, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go empty-handed.
Chu Yan reached into the back seat and took a gift box: "I notified you at the last minute, so you don't need to prepare a gift. I've already prepared one for you."
Gu Yin glanced at it and saw that it was tea leaves, so she stopped worrying about it.
"By the way, have you heard the rumors about us?" Gu Yin asked Chu Yan.
Chu Yan gripped the steering wheel with both hands, looked at the road ahead, and nodded: "I know. I also know who spread the rumor. You'll find out tonight. If anyone makes you unhappy later, just curse or hit them if you want. Don't hold back!"
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows upon hearing this. So, the person who spread the rumors will be at the Yao family's dinner table tonight?
Interesting! Exciting!
