Chapter 90: The Supporting Actress Whose Work Was Stealthed by Her Sister
After the New Year, Jiang Yue flew back from abroad. He thought a lot and decided that this matter should either be kept secret or exposed.
Gu Wan returned home two days before school started and brought the New Year gifts that her parents asked her to bring.
Gu Shengwen is a businessman. He was busy during the Chinese New Year and attended various social events. However, as a middle-aged man, he cares most about things from his hometown. He was very happy to see what Gu Wan brought.
“This is still the best from our hometown.”
He was smiling and giving Gu Wan a red envelope as he spoke.
"Here, New Year's red envelope."
Gu Wan took it and thanked him generously.
Jiang Yue knew that Gu Wan would be back today, so he waited for her outside.
Zhao Xiumei began to arrange dinner.
Gu Wan returned to the room and picked up the bag containing the scarf. She said hello to her family and went out. She happened to meet Jiang Yue at the door.
He quietly came behind Jiang Yue and patted his shoulder.
"Happy New Year."
Jiang Yue smiled when he saw her, "Happy New Year."
Gu Wan handed it to him.
"I've washed it. I was supposed to return it to you the next day, but I got so busy I forgot."
Jiang Yue reached out and took it.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Zhao Xiumei was originally going to ask Gu Wan what she wanted to eat, but her aunt said she saw her go out. She frowned slightly, and thinking of the call from her daughter, she put on her coat and hurried out. Seeing the two of them standing together, worry instantly rose to her throat.
"Gu Wan, Gu Wan."
Gu Wan turned around and looked over.
"aunt."
Jiang Yue didn't leave either.
Zhao Xiumei walked up to them and looked at them both.
"What are you doing here?"
When Gu Wan saw her expression, she thought it was a bit amusing.
"Brother Jiang Yue lent me his scarf before, and I returned it to him."
Zhao Xiumei frowned even more tightly, "You two can't get so close, Jingjing will think too much if she knows." She was too anxious, and the words she blurted out didn't make sense when she thought about it carefully.
Jiang Yue was already a little dissatisfied.
"Auntie, Jingjing and I are just ordinary friends, why are you overthinking it?"
Zhao Xiumei gave Gu Wan a wink.
Gu Wan lowered her head and pretended not to see it.
Zhao Xiumei laughed again.
"Haven't you and Jingjing agreed on everything?"
Jiang Yue held his breath.
"Auntie, Jingjing and I are just brother and sister, nothing more. I'll explain everything to mom when I get home. Please don't continue to misunderstand me."
After he said that, he turned and left.
Zhao Xiumei wanted to say something, but she only saw his back. She looked at Gu Wan again, reached out and grabbed Gu Wan's arm, but because she was anxious, she grabbed it too hard.
"What did you tell him? Does he know?"
Gu Wan frowned in pain, then shook her head and spoke calmly, "Brother Jiang Yue and I are just ordinary friends. Auntie, there's no need to speak to me in such a tone. Uncle doesn't know about this yet, right? I promised Auntie to keep it a secret only for Uncle's sake. Sister Jingjing wants to marry him and likes him, so let him like her."
She paused after she finished speaking, "Also, Auntie, please be more polite when talking to me next time."
It’s not entirely true to say that Zhao Xiumei is a bad person.
The atmosphere in the Gu family's dinner was a bit awkward.
Zhao Xiumei had a sullen face and went upstairs without eating even a few bites.
Jiang Yue also spoke openly at his own dinner table.
"Mom, please don't talk about Jingjing and me anymore. We're not suitable, and I won't marry her."
Mother Xue is a gentle person. She was a little surprised and looked at her husband.
"But Jingjing wasn't there with you that year. You could see how good you were to her afterwards. Your dad and I saw it all."
Jiang Yue didn't say anything.
Father Jiang just cleared his throat.
"Your mother and I won't interfere in your affairs as young people. You're already in your twenties and can handle it yourself."
After much deliberation, Zhao Xiumei decided to call her daughter.
Gu Jingjing had just finished training.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Zhao Xiumei recounted the whole story.
Gu Jingjing's hands were shaking as she held the phone. How could this happen? They were getting along well here, so there weren't any problems.
"Mom, are you sure?"
Zhao Xiumei sighed.
"You've only been gone for half a year, and Jiang Yue has already changed his mind. And that Gu Wan, I underestimated her, yet she still dared to talk to me like that."
Gu Jingjing gritted her teeth. She didn't know what to do. Even though Gu Wan hadn't told Jiang Yue the truth yet, there was still a chance to save him, but she was really scared.
"Mom, I can't leave here. Please keep an eye on it for me. I'll go back as soon as I have time."
After Zhao Xiumei hung up the phone, she cursed Gu Wan several times in her heart.
Entering March.
Spring is here and flowers are blooming.
Chen Shao has obtained the qualification for admission to a key high school. He has now started to study high school courses on his own. He wants to obtain the qualification for admission to H University in advance, and he has to do it as quickly as possible.
Gu Wan was organizing group work in the dormitory when she received a call from Shen Shao.
"What is it?"
Shen Shao raised his eyebrows with a smile, “I’m at the gate of your school, come over quickly.”
Gu Wan looked at the PPT on the computer and said, "Wait for me for ten minutes."
Shen Shao was not in a hurry. He agreed in a good mood and hung up the phone.
Gu Wan handed the organized homework to the classmate who was giving the lecture, picked up a coat and went out. Before she reached the door, she saw Shen Shao standing beside her.
Chen Shao must have grown taller, and is estimated to be about 1.85 meters tall. He is full of youthful vigor and a refreshing feeling. Some girls passing by have already taken pictures of him secretly, but he is very calm and keeps grinning.
Shen Shao saw Gu Wan waving enthusiastically.
Gu Wan walked up to him and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Shen Shao had eaten, but he shook his head, "You haven't eaten yet? Let's go, I know a fish noodle shop at the gate of your school that's delicious."
The two of them sat down at the fish meal shop.
Chen Shao wiped the chopsticks for her and said, "I got the notice of being recommended for high school. Gu Wan, wait for me. Give me two more years, and I can pass the exam and get in early."
He said this with confidence on his face.
Gu Wan nodded, "Yes, I believe you."
Chen Shao looked at her and suddenly thought of something. Gu Jingjing actually called him two days ago and asked about Jiang Yue's recent situation.
"Gu Wan, do you know why I hate Jiang Yue?"
Gu Wan looked at the fish meal that was served and asked, "Why?"
Shen Shao picked all the fish balls from his bowl and put them into Gu Wan's bowl. "I don't like them, so I'll give them all to you."
Gu Wan pursed her lips and smiled.
Shen Shao continued, "Do you know why he has such a relationship with Gu Jingjing?"
Gu Wan buried her head in eating noodles, she knew it.
"you say."
Shen Shao didn't keep it a secret any longer.
"Actually, I used to have a pretty good relationship with Gu Jingjing. When she first moved in, we often went out to play. Around that time, Jiang Yue was in a car accident and couldn't see. The doctor said the chances of recovery were 50-50. Then his temper got really bad, and my aunt cried all day. Later, he pulled himself together and had the surgery, saying that he had the courage because he had a girl by his side the whole time."
Gu Wan listened silently.
Chen Shao didn't notice anything wrong with Gu Wan.
"But Gu Jingjing came forward and said it was her. How could it be her? The time didn't even match. She was with us every day during that period and spent very little time at home. She lied to Jiang Yue, but when I went to the hospital and saw Jiang Yue so happy, I kept it a secret. But a year later, I still felt it was wrong. I asked Gu Jingjing to confess herself, but she refused. I had no choice but to find Jiang Yue and tell him the truth. He didn't believe it at first, but then I don't know what method he used to make him believe it again. I saw him drunk on a bench that time, and I thought they would be over, but it turned out to be the same as before."
He sighed after he finished speaking.
"So do you think Jiang Yue is cold and hypocritical? If he wanted to find her, he would definitely find her. Or maybe that girl is just a figment of his imagination."
Gu Wan looked at him, not knowing how to start.
"Do you think that person really exists?"
Shen Shao was too full before he came, so he only took a few bites. "Whether it exists or not is up to Jiang Yue to say. It's meaningless for me to say it. He is just deceiving himself."
Gu Wan finished the fish meal in her bowl.
"Then why are you telling me this?"
Chen Shao turned serious, "I'm telling you not to get too close to Jiang Yue. He's not a good person. Just hold on for another two years. When I come, tell everyone that you're my girlfriend. That way, no one will dare to approach you."
Gu Wan sighed, "Pack it up. You can't waste it if you can't finish it."
Shen Shao had never packed anything before, but now he had no choice but to wave his hand and let the boss come over.
"From now on, just eat and don't lie." Gu Wan went over to pay the bill.
Shen Shao didn't grab it. He was quite happy because Gu Wan treated him to a meal.
Aunt Jiang saw her son coming back with a takeaway box.
"Where did you go to eat? You even packed it up and brought it back. You've really grown up and learned to cherish food."
Shen Shao nodded cautiously, "I'm going to play basketball. Mom, you can ask Auntie to warm me up in the evening."
Aunt Jiang felt as if the sun was rising from the west.
In the second half of her freshman year, Gu Wan was also very busy, busy enriching herself.
Jiang Yue was always busy in the laboratory and also had to represent the school in competitions, so we only met once or twice and didn't even have time to talk.
Gu Wan had originally planned to find a new tutoring job during the summer vacation. When Aunt Jiang found out, she enthusiastically recommended candidates.
Shen Shao had just been released from training, and when he knew that Gu Wan was going to be a tutor, he sighed.
"Let's go traveling for a week."
Gu Wan also thought it was a good idea and agreed.
But Gu Jingjing came back the next day.
The Gu family also became lively.
It also happened to be Gu Jingjing’s birthday.
Just like the day when Gu Wan first arrived.
However, Gu Jingjing did not hold a big party this time, and just invited some of her friends.
Shen Shao came to find Gu Wan and happened to run into Gu Jingjing.
"Sister Jingjing is back."
Gu Jingjing raised her eyebrows and nodded, "You know it's my birthday? Where's my birthday present?"
Shen Shao would not feel embarrassed, "Happy birthday, Sister Jingjing, I came to see Gu Wan, I didn't prepare a gift for you."
Gu Jingjing's eyes were filled with emotion. She just glanced at the two of them and said, "I heard you're going on a trip. I think you wouldn't mind joining us."
Shen Shao chuckled, "You great dancer, why don't you come travel with us?"
Gu Jingjing nodded, then went over and took Jiang Yue's arm, "Jiang Yue, let's go together. I heard from Aunt Xue that you've been having a hard time lately."
Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Wan, thought about it, and agreed. He had infinite selfish motives, "Okay."
Shen Shao doesn't like them both, he really doesn't like them.
