Chapter 61 What She Says Makes sense
On the second day, Gu Jingcheng stood at the entrance of the academy without moving after school.
He was going to have dinner with Zhou Lin. The academy's cafeteria had many new dishes, and Zhou Lin asked him to accompany him to try them out.
But he always kept the matter at the shop in his mind, so he didn't agree to it, and even made him complain a lot.
But he didn't forget Su Xiaomu's attitude when he talked to him yesterday.
In her opinion, he was just a heartless person who was ungrateful for using his family's money.
Although he was too lazy to argue with her, her words were really harsh.
So if I go today, it is inevitable that I will have a tit-for-tat confrontation with her in terms of words.
But if he doesn't go, he really misses them.
"Well, there is still my sister-in-law and two children in the shop. For their safety, I should go and take a look."
Gu Jingcheng thought a lot in his mind before he went to the shop.
Su Xiaomu was not in the shop at this time, and Gu Jingcheng was standing outside and was not in a hurry to go in.
He saw the movement inside and couldn't calm down for a while.
The eldest niece, who had always been taciturn and not good at communicating with others, was now asking guests to order food in a good-natured manner.
She held the menu in her hand and spoke to every guest who came to dine with familiarity, and could even discover the guests' needs before they even spoke.
In addition to the eldest niece, there is also Gu Ruonan.
The little girl is so young that she doesn't even know a few words, but she already knows how to help adults share heavy responsibilities.
She helped serve the dishes and clear the table, moving quickly and without any sloppiness.
In just a few months, their two children have undergone such a big change.
It seems that Su Xiaomu is really teaching them well.
What she said to him before was not to frustrate him because she wanted to open a store.
Gu Jingcheng stood outside and said nothing. He waited until they had a lunch break before he showed his face and invited his two nieces to hang out outside.
He bought a candied haws for each of them and some pastries for them to take home to eat in the evening.
Seeing how happy they were eating, Gu Jingcheng asked.
"How are you, third aunt, always treating you? Are you allowed to do everything in the shop?"
"Of course she is very kind to us. Third uncle, you don't know. Now every night after returning home, third aunt will take some time to teach me how to calculate accounts. She is very patient and won't scold me if I make a mistake."
Gu Ruotong always wanted to relax in front of Gu Jingcheng.
She licked the candied haws in small mouthfuls, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude for Su Xiaomu: "If my third aunt hadn't been so kind to me, I'd probably have to stay at home now..."
"Grandma likes the third aunt very much, and so does my mother.
In the past, the second aunt would always secretly speak ill of the third aunt behind her back, but now she won't do it anymore. We all like a good person like the third aunt, and we will like her more and more."
Gu Ruonan's speech was not as gentle as Gu Ruotong's. She did not dare to go up and hold Gu Jingcheng's hand. She only dared to gently tug on the corner of his clothes and ask curiously.
"Third uncle is the same as us. Does he like third aunt?"
Gu Jingcheng didn't expect Gu Ruonan to ask him this. He was stunned for a moment, and then calmly turned away from the topic.
"You are still young, so don't worry about the love between adults.
Since Third Aunt is good to you, then you should learn from her well. Although you are a woman, if you can learn a craft, you will never suffer in the future."
After sending the two of them back to the shop, he didn't rush back to the academy. Instead, he went to the library first to pick up the books he wanted to copy this time.
When he returned to the academy, Zhou Lin was already sitting on the couch, happily eating the snacks next to him.
"You've been disappearing right after class lately. Today I asked you to accompany me to dinner but you didn't go. No, I followed you to take a look.
Gu Jingcheng, why don't you tell me that the two girls working in Boss Su's shop call you third uncle?"
He ate snacks and looked at him with squinted eyes: "I don't have any intention of prying into your privacy, I'm just curious.
Aren't you at odds with Boss Su? Why are your family members still working under her?"
"Those are my sister-in-law's two daughters. The other woman you saw in her shop before is my sister-in-law at home."
Gu Jingcheng didn't bother to investigate him about following him, and Zhou Lin didn't have any ill intentions.
It's just that he doesn't want to tell him yet about his relationship with Su Xiaomu.
"That's it! I asked you why you suddenly took two girls shopping. It turned out that you were taking your niece.
How about this, Jingcheng, take me with you when you go again tomorrow, Boss Su’s craftsmanship is so good, I can’t wait to eat at her place every day.”
Zhou Lin always regarded Gu Jingcheng's relatives as his own, and he was very excited at this moment: "Don't worry, I won't not pay because your sister-in-law is the one cooking, I will definitely give you the money you should pay as usual!
"
Gu Jingcheng really couldn't bear Zhou Lin's nagging in his ear, so he went to the shop with him after school the next day.
Su Xiaomu was surprised that he brought his friends to dinner, especially when she took the menu to them to order, Zhou Lin kept looking at him with an extremely weird look, which made her unbearable.
Keep frowning.
"Master Zhou keeps looking at me like this, is there something on my face?"
She touched her face, it was as smooth as ever?
"No, no, I just heard from Jingcheng that his sister-in-law is working for you, Boss Su, and I feel a lot closer to Boss Su for some reason.
But don’t worry, Boss Su, in my mind, your craftsmanship is the best.
After all, Boss Su’s meat pie...is one of the best in the city!"
Zhou Lin felt that he and Su Xiaomu were familiar with each other anyway.
He didn't pay as much attention to her when he spoke to her as he did to other women. He was cheerful and didn't have much sense of propriety.
"Boss Su, don't think I talk too much. When I'm with Jingcheng, he always likes to complain about me. But people have mouths. If I don't use them to talk to others, wouldn't it be too lonely?"
"Young Master Zhou is an interesting person. You just like to share with others. How can you talk too much?"
Su Xiaomu served Zhou Lin all the dishes on the menu according to Zhou Lin's wishes. When she was about to leave, she happened to raise her eyes and look at Gu Jingcheng.
Although she quickly looked away, she still felt that he was a little strange today.
When she was talking to Zhou Lin, he remained silent the whole time.
She shook her head and returned to the kitchen. Gu Jingcheng's face suddenly fell when he saw Su Xiaomu disappear.
He snorted coldly and stared at Zhou Lin who was enjoying the cake: "Is it delicious?"
His gaze was as cold as ice.
What he said also sounded like gritted teeth, but Zhou Lin didn't hear it at all.
There was broken cake foam on the edge of his mouth, and he looked at Gu Jingcheng with dull eyes and said, "It's delicious? Do you want some?"
After saying that, he tore off a small piece of cake and handed it to him.
"I'm leaving. If you like to eat, you can stay here and eat today."
Looking at him like this, Gu Jingcheng felt as helpless as if he had punched cotton.
