As soon as I walked out of the western restaurant, I met two beautiful women in their twenties. One was wearing a plaid tweed short coat and carrying an exquisite leather bag, and the other was wearing a light-colored mid-length windbreaker with her hands in her pockets. Both of them had slightly permed short hair, looking playful and lively. When they saw Gu Yingying, they greeted her enthusiastically, calling her Sister Yingying with a smile, and the one in the windbreaker said, "Long time no see."

Gu Yingying also stopped to talk to them, and Meng Tao stood by with Xiao Wangcai waiting.

After a few pleasantries, Gu Yingying introduced Meng Tao: "Come, let's meet each other. This is Dou Nannan, Grandpa Dou's granddaughter, and this is Jiang Xiuzhen, Grandpa Jian's granddaughter. Grandpa Dou, Grandpa Jian, your grandpa, and my grandpa have been friends and comrades since we were young. We have a deep friendship. Nannan is already working, and Xiuzhen is about to graduate. She is a college student and a future pillar of society."

Meng Tao nodded politely: "Hello."

Gu Yingying then said to Dou Nannan and Jiang Xiuzhen, "This is Meng Tao, Shen Yu's newlywed wife. You two are younger than Shen Yu, so you should call her sister-in-law."

The sweet smiles of the two girls froze in an instant and gradually disappeared. Their eyes became contemptuous and critical. They looked Meng Tao up and down. Dou Nannan raised her eyebrows and said, "Is that the sparrow from the mountain valley? Oh, it has turned into a phoenix after flying onto the tree branch."

Jiang Xiuzhen curled her lips and said, "My grandpa's vision is so good. He said he was one in a hundred and he is ten times better than me. I thought he was so good, but he is just like this!"

Gu Yingying had not expected such an attitude from the two and could not help but said angrily: "What's wrong with you two? Do you have any manners? You are so bad!"

Dou Nannan folded her arms and sneered: "Sister Yingying, we are just telling the truth."

Jiang Xiuzhen responded: "That's right! Sister Yingying, why are you protecting her? She's irrelevant."

"What do you mean irrelevant? Shen Yu calls me sister just like you guys. Shen Yu's wife is my sister-in-law. You are not allowed to be so rude!"

Dou Nannan and Jiang Xiuzhen snorted disdainfully at the same time.

The good impression Meng Tao had previously had on the two girls, who were dressed stylishly and exquisitely, and had outstanding temperament and appearance, had now disappeared. She smiled and said to Gu Yingying, "It's okay. There's no need to be polite between me and them."

Then he looked at Dou Nannan and Jiang Xiuzhen and said, "In fact, you know very well: a phoenix is ​​a phoenix. It is born with noble qualities. Even if she was born in a mountain valley, she is still a phoenix. Otherwise, how can there be a saying that a golden phoenix flies out of a mountain valley? And a sparrow will always be a sparrow. It is destined to be a poor character. Even if she stands on a branch from the beginning, she can never become a phoenix! This is a fact, you have to accept it."

After saying that, Meng Tao took Gu Yingying away.

Dou Nannan and Jiang Xiuzhen stood there staring at her back. After a while, Dou Nannan suddenly widened her eyes and asked, "Did you hear clearly? What did she just say?"

Jiang Xiuzhen's expression also changed: "She, she said we are sparrows?"

Dou Nannan's eyes turned red with anger, and she pulled Jiang Xiuzhen: "Who is she? Phoenix, bah! She is so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, and she is not afraid of getting her tongue rotted. No, I can't swallow this, let's go find her!"

Jiang Xiuzhen hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's time for us to meet with Brother Han. I'm afraid he'll be here soon."

Dou Nannan had no choice but to stop and said angrily: "What a stupid country girl, let me meet her again next time!"

Gu Yingying and Meng Tao didn't care about their reactions. They turned the corner and just walked to the main road when a black car drove up and stopped in front of them. Shen Yu got out of the car.

Gu Yingying smiled and said, "What a coincidence, did you and Taotao agree to meet here?"

Shen Yu said: "I was just passing by and happened to see you."

In fact, he was not passing by. He was across the street from her. Thinking that his young wife would forget the time while shopping and might not have returned home, he released his spiritual sense to scan within the range. He actually found her trace and rushed over to pick her up.

Shen Yu opened the back door for them, but Gu Yingying waved her hand and said, "I'll leave your wife to you. I have other things to do, so I won't get in the car. You two can go first."

Meng Tao asked: "Sister Yingying, you are not..."

Gu Yingying tidied up Meng Tao's hair and smiled, "I'm not that stupid. I really need to ask a friend something. Don't worry, I learn from my mistakes. I will protect myself."

Shen Yu: "Where are you going, Sister Yingying? We can take you there."

"No, no, you should go back with Taotao. Taotao must be tired after being out for so long. She needs to go home and rest."

"Okay, then we'll go back first."

"Goodbye, Sister Yingying." Meng Tao said.

"Hey, Taotao, I'll come see you another day."

"OK."

Since Gu Yingying refused to get in the car, Shen Yu helped Meng Tao to the passenger seat, and Xiao Wangcai sat alone in the back seat.

Watching the car leave, Gu Yingying waved her hand. Thinking of what Meng Tao had just said to Dou Nannan and Jiang Xiuzhen, she couldn't help laughing again.

There was a jeep parked on the roadside not far away. Xu Hengkai was sitting in the driver's seat, looking at the tall and graceful woman. The red scarf around her neck was blown away by the wind, but she was unaware of it. She just smiled and waved her hands, like a gorgeous crabapple blossoming in the cold wind, warming people's hearts.

Xu Hengkai waited for Gu Yingying to walk over, but the woman wanted to cross the road and leave, so he had to get out of the car and shouted "Yingying".

Gu Yingying looked back and was very surprised: "Hey, how come you two brothers just happened to pass by?"

Xu Hengkai: "I came here specially to send someone off. I saw you and Taotao, but before I could say hello, Shen Yu arrived."

"Oh, where's the person you sent?"

"Leave."

Xu Hengkai opened the car door: "Get in."

Gu Yingying didn't hesitate and sat directly in the passenger seat, intending to ask Xu Hengkai to give her a ride. Maybe because they grew up together, she sometimes worried about bothering others, but she had no such concerns for Xu Hengkai.

Furthermore, Gu Panpan’s behavior today made Gu Yingying desperate and heartbroken. She thought that such a Gu Panpan was not worthy of Xu Hengkai, and wanted to say a few words to Xu Hengkai and remind him.

Gu Yingying told Xu Hengkai where she was going. Xu Hengkai nodded, started the car and drove into the driveway. He casually asked her why she was with Taotao and why she seemed to be having a great time and was smiling so happily.

Gu Yingying laughed again after hearing this: "I'll tell you this later. Now I know: Shen Yu is a dull and cold person who never attracts girls. Li Wen and I were worried that he would never get married in his lifetime, but I didn't expect him to get married suddenly, even faster than Meng Zhehan. It turns out that he met Tao Tao."

"Do you like Taotao?"

"Of course I like her. She's cute and interesting, a rare good girl. I wish she were my sister." Gu Yingying sighed.

Xu Hengkai was silent for a moment, looked out the window again, took a deep breath, and said, "If you become her sister-in-law, she will be your sister."
