Chapter 398 The Troubles of Being a Genius



Han Songyan got into the car, and Zhou Mei slowly drove the car away from the entrance of Baijia Alley.

At the corner, a black sedan slowly drove up, and Zhou Mei subconsciously glanced inside the car window.

The rear window was half open, and two young people could be vaguely seen sitting inside.

"Sister Yan, is that Qianmo in the car?"

Han Songyan immediately looked into the car that had just passed by and spotted Bai Qianmo's figure at a glance.

"Zhou Mei, park on the side of the road."

"Okay, Sister Yan." Zhou Mei turned a corner and slowly stopped at the roadside.

Han Songyan got out of the car, and Zhou Mei followed closely behind.

When the two reached the alley entrance, the black car was already parked in front of the Bai family's house.

Bai Qianmo and Gu Jueye got out of the car.

Gu Jueye glanced at the entrance of the Bai family's house and said, "I won't go in with you. I'll have Rongyi take you to the company later."

"And what about you?"

Gu Jueye affectionately tucked a stray strand of hair behind Bai Qianmo's ear: "Gu Jin is right behind us. He'll drive me to the research institute."

"Alright, be careful on the road."

"Okay, let's go in."

Bai Qianmo waved her hand, turned around and went inside.

Gu Jueye paused at the door for a moment, his clear eyes slowly glancing towards the alley entrance.

Han Songyan's heart tightened suddenly, and she gasped for breath.

It was actually Gu Jueye?

What exactly is his relationship with Qianmo?

On the set of "The Splendor of the Brocade", he once threatened Qianmo because of her. Later, at Song Qing's tea party, he chose Qianmo to dance the opening dance from among a group of wealthy socialites.

The way Gu Jueye helped Bai Qianmo with her hair just now was ambiguous, which shows that their relationship is definitely not as simple as ordinary friendship.

Could it be that Qianmo and Lord Jue are dating?

The thought sent a jolt through Han Songyan's heart.

Seeing Han Songyan staring at him, Gu Jueye simply gave her a cold glance without any expression.

Seeing Han Songyan and Zhou Mei standing at the alley entrance, Rong Yi walked up to Gu Jueye and said, "Master Jueye, Miss Bai will probably have to wait a while. Let me see you out first."

Gu Jueye gave a curt reply, turned around, and got into the car.

As the black sedan drove away, Han Songyan's heart was still in her throat, feeling that everything she had seen was unbelievable.

Qianmo has only been back in the capital for a little over half a year, and she's already getting together with the Duke. How did this girl manage to hook up with the Duke?

Zhou Mei's eyes gleamed: "Sister Yan, is that man Qianmo's boyfriend? With looks and temperament like that, he would definitely be a huge star if he entered the entertainment industry. I've been an agent for over ten years and I've never managed such a promising talent. If we can sign him, we'll definitely make a fortune."

Han Songyan snapped out of her daze and glanced at Zhou Mei with a cold expression: "He won't be interested in this industry."

Zhou Mei was somewhat disappointed: "Just who is he?"

I was just joking when I said I'd sign Gu Jueye; just look at the aura he exudes, he's no ordinary person.

"Let's go back to the company." Han Songyan was preoccupied and didn't want to reveal too much information about Gu Jueye.

Bai family

Bai Qianmo arrived just in time for breakfast.

When the old man saw Bai Qianmo, his gloomy mood vanished instantly.

Bai Kangcheng, Xu Hualan, and Bai Yitang also sat around the dining table.

Bai Kangcheng said, "Qianmo, I heard from your aunt that the school is holding a parent-teacher meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. I can try to make time to attend tomorrow."

Xu Hualan hadn't had a chance to tell Bai Kangcheng about Han Songyan's visit when Qianmo returned.

She winked at Bai Kangcheng, who twitched his brow slightly, unsure of what his wife meant.

Xu Hualan reminded her, "You have a very important meeting with Director Wang tomorrow. Can you reschedule?"

Bai Kangcheng frowned. What did his wife mean by this?

When did he have a meeting with Director Wang?

"Uncle, your work is important. I've already found someone to hold the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow."

Bai Yitang took a bite of the soup dumpling and couldn't help but glance at Bai Qianmo: "Who did you look for?"

Besides her parents and grandfather, there are only her second uncle and aunt. Given Bai Qianmo's personality, she definitely wouldn't date her second uncle and aunt.

"Friends," Bai Qianmo replied dismissively.

Old Bai frowned: "How can that be? Since it's called a parent-teacher meeting, parents should naturally have to attend. I'll go tomorrow."

"Dad, the parent-teacher meeting might take three or four hours to sit through. Your back isn't good, so you can't sit for that long," Xu Hualan said worriedly.

Bai Qianmo chimed in, "Auntie is right, Grandpa, don't be stubborn. The parent-teacher meeting is just a summary of the students' specific situations. You know your granddaughter's situation much better than the teacher, so I'll have my friend go through the motions tomorrow. That's settled."

“It’s not like our Bai family is short of people. What’s the big deal about you finding a friend?”

"Grandpa, the soup dumplings you bought are delicious! Where did you buy them?"

Old Bai glared at Bai Qianmo, knowing that she was trying to change the subject.

"It's the one you like to eat at."

"Oh, Yibin soup dumplings, no wonder the taste is somewhat familiar."

*

After having breakfast with the old man and chatting for a few minutes, Bai Qianmo left the Bai family.

Bai Yitang happened to be on his way to school and decided to hitch a ride with Bai Qianmo.

Bai Yitang, carrying a satchel, wearing a loose-fitting school uniform and a pair of spotless white sneakers, walked with his hands in his pockets at the entrance of a quiet alley. The rising sun slanted and shone on him, giving him a clean and refreshing youthful air.
