"Early Summer, may I come in?"
"The door wasn't locked."
"This is milk that Mom just heated up. I brought it up for you and put it on the table for you."
An Mingzhu didn't leave after delivering the milk, so Lin Chuxia took off her headphones and glanced at her: "Is there anything else?"
"Chuxia, where did you go all day?" She didn't believe that Lin Chuxia had really been wandering around outside all day because she got lost.
After all, Lin Chuxia's relaxed demeanor when she returned home didn't seem like she had suffered any hardship.
"Where else could I go? Why do I keep asking people how to get home? What, where else do you want me to go?" Lin Chuxia asked calmly.
"No, I was just worried about you. By the way, did anything happen at the entrance of Jinxiu Residential Area after we left? I mean, didn't a car come by? Did the driver of the car do anything to you?"
Lin Chuxia looked at An Mingzhu with a half-smile.
So she wanted to know if Gu Yuheng scolded her after they left? Should she make up a story for her?
Suddenly, Lin Chuxia's expression changed instantly, as if she were terrified: "That car...the people in that car are so fierce! Who are they? Why are they so unreasonable?"
“In early summer, you've just arrived in Jincheng and aren't familiar with the power dynamics here yet. Anyway, just remember, the people in that car are not people you can mess with. Stay far away from them in the future. I'm saying this for your own good, understand?”
She didn't say those words for Lin Chuxia.
Given Lin Chuxia's personality, after hearing these words, she should be even more curious and eager to get to know Master Gu. Then, considering how much Master Gu dislikes women who fawn over him, things will get interesting.
At that point, Lin Chuxia will become the laughingstock of the entire city of Jin. And given Xie Jinya and An Guosheng's prideful nature, they will definitely abandon their biological daughter, Lin Chuxia, then.
At that time, let's see what Lin Chuxia has to compete with her with!
If Lin Chuxia obediently listens to her and doesn't provoke Master Gu, then she won't suffer any loss. After all, someone of Lin Chuxia's status would probably never know about someone of Master Gu's noble status, let alone meet him, if she didn't speak up.
If she had any self-awareness, it would be better for her to stay far away. After all, Lin Chuxia's face... she really felt a bit jealous. Ideally, Gu Sanye would never see that face again.
Although she knew that someone like Master Gu would not be so superficial as to judge by appearances, she still disliked Lin Chuxia's face being displayed in front of him.
Lin Chuxia nodded as An Mingzhu expected: "I would stay far away from such a terrifying person, needless to say."
With a quick glance, Lin Chuxia continued, "Oh, right, I heard something else later. At first, I didn't understand why the people in that car would curse at me without any explanation. But then I overheard the security guards chatting and saying that half a year ago, a shameless woman sneaked into Master Gu's hotel room, took off her clothes, and lay on his bed. Later, Master Gu had her thrown out."
"By the way, it seems that this incident also happened in Yuncheng. Sis, don't you think that woman was incredibly shameless? She was a complete disgrace to women! I've never seen such a shameless woman even in the countryside!"
"Hehe, yes..." An Mingzhu's smile was almost impossible to maintain.
Six months ago, in Yuncheng… it was obvious who that woman was. Even the security guards knew about her… damn it.
An Mingzhu clenched her fists.
The incident that happened six months ago is a shameful thing she least wants to mention.
She originally thought that the rumors circulating in Jincheng that the Third Master was not interested in women were just exaggerations. Moreover, she considered herself superior to the other noble ladies in Jincheng. Although her status was not as high as theirs, she had beauty and talent.
However, she never expected that she would be thrown out without even seeing the Third Master's face. It was the greatest humiliation of her life!
Luckily, she reacted quickly and said she had gone to the wrong room, thus saving her reputation in time, otherwise...
After An Mingzhu left her room with a pale face and trembling body, Lin Chuxia finally couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach and collapsing onto the bed.
An Mingzhu prided herself on her intelligence, but Gu Yuheng was a seasoned businessman who had seen all sorts of people. An Mingzhu's little tricks were no match for Gu Yuheng.
When An Mingzhu was in a bad mood, Lin Chuxia felt good. Even the words "Gu the Devil" on her WeChat seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
Originally, Lin Chuxia was still feeling frustrated and annoyed because of what happened during the day, but unexpectedly, An Mingzhu's antics made her feel better instantly, and she had a wonderful sleep.
An Mingzhu, on the other hand, woke up the next day with dark circles under her eyes—she had been so anxious the night before that she couldn't sleep at all!
Seeing Lin Chuxia's rosy complexion and refreshed appearance, An Mingzhu felt even more heartbroken and her face grew increasingly ugly.
Seeing that Mingzhu looked unwell, Xie Jinya asked with concern, "Mingzhu, did you not sleep well last night?"
An Mingzhu nodded in agreement: "Mom, I really couldn't sleep last night, I had insomnia."
"Have you been too tired from writing lately? What should I say to you? Our family isn't short of money. You can just write for fun, there's no need to risk your life."
“Mom, I know you mean well. But writing is my hobby, not for the money. And my insomnia last night wasn’t because of writing.” An Mingzhu said, biting her lip as she glanced at Lin Chuxia. “I couldn’t sleep last night because I was worried about Chuxia.”
Lin Chuxia, who was busy making xiaolongbao, was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
"Why are you worried about her?" Xie Jinya was instantly annoyed when she saw that Lin Chuxia still had a steamed bun in her mouth.
As expected of a wild girl raised in the countryside, she eats like a starving ghost, with no manners whatsoever!
"Mom, it's already mid-August. I received my college acceptance letter a long time ago, but Chu Xia is nowhere to be seen. I don't even know which school she'll get into."
The first batch of admission notices are all from top-tier universities, and they will all be delivered to students by mid-July at the latest.
The second batch consists of students who scored below the second-tier university cutoff. Their admission notices come a little later than those for students who scored below the first-tier university cutoff, but they should receive them before August.
Lin Chuxia's admission notice is nowhere to be seen yet; it's estimated that she'll only get into a third-tier university, or even a vocational college.
Upon understanding An Mingzhu's meaning, Xie Jinya disliked Lin Chuxia even more: "Hmph, what a disgrace!"
"Early Summer, do you know which school accepted you? If it's not a good school, why don't you repeat a year? Although it's not good for our family's reputation, your future is more important than that."
