After Gu Yuwu commented on Lin Xiaowan’s post, Gu Yuwu’s fans grew even more curious about Lin Xiaowan. Some of them went to her homepage and saw the posts of artworks as well.
[Fan #1:1 guess the two of them are friends. Moreover, 1 think the two of them are quite close. After all, Sister Gu rarely takes the initiative to interact with others.]
[Fan #2: She’s definitely not a celebrity. Is she an artist?]
[Fan #3: Can I just say something about the anthropomorphic desserts she painted? They’re really good. Her use of colors is also very interesting, and she has her own style in mixing colors.]
[Fan #4:1 also think they’re friends. Their IP addresses show that they’re both in Shengjing.]
[Fan #5:1 really like her paintings. The more I look at them, the more I like them! I really wish I could buy them!]
[Fan #6:1 looked at her follower list. She has many influential and wealthy people following her. She must be a wealthy young lady as well…]
[Fan #7: Huh? Did all of you just find out that Lin Xiaowan is a good friend of Sister Gu? She’s the owner of a dessert shop!]
Previously, Gu Yuwu had posted about the dessert shop. As such, many of her local fans visited the dessert shop.
[Fan #7: Hahaha, 1 thought everyone knew about this! Lin Xiaowan is very beautiful, and she’s kind and soft-spoken as well! The dessert shop is not far from my company so I’ve visited before! ]
[Fan #8: Am I on the 2G network? Why didn’t I know about this at all?]
Someone posted a screenshot of Lin Xiaowan being listed as an administrator of the dessert shop’s homepage. Her nickname was ‘Little Boss’.
Gu Yuwu was not a member of the page. After all, apart from posting the daily desserts, the other main function was to help customers make reservations. People like Gu Yuwu who was acquainted with the owners naturally did not have to make reservations. Moreover, she also had her own designated table there and could visit at any time.
[Fan #9:1 know about the dessert shop, and 1 know Sister Gu has been there. However, 1 just found out that Sister Gu is a good friend of the owner…]
[Fan #10: Me too! 1 thought she only posted about the dessert shop because the desserts there are good. I’ve been a few times so 1 can testify to that. The prices are very reasonable as well…]
[Fan #11: Oh, more information is coming out!]
[Fan #12: People in Shengjing, raise your hands! I have a question. If I visit the dessert shop, will 1 meet Sister Gu by chance?]
[Fan #13: The possibility is very low. Moreover, Sister Gu only sits on the second floor. You need to make reservations to sit on the second floor, and you need to be a member to make reservations. I’ve inquired before, and there was a several-weekwait…]
[Fan #14: Are the desserts really delicious? I saw that the shop didn’t have any bad reviews, but I didn’t know if the reviews were real…]
[Fan #15: The desserts are really delicious, and they’re not expensive at all! Not only that, but they used good ingredients as well. They sell Western desserts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; and local traditional desserts on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Don’t go on Sunday. They’re closed on Sunday.]
The topic gradually turned to desserts, but not everyone was interested in this. When a few people saw the dessert-related comments, they could not help but remind the others.
[Fan #15: Be careful. Sister Gu doesn’t like fans to dig into her private life.]
[Fan #16: Don’t worry. We’re just curious. Moreover, we’re discussing the dessert shop. It can’t be considered digging into her private life! Anyway, I can’t wait to visit the dessert shop!]
[Fan #17: We’ll wait for your news! Remember to report back after your visit! You have to give us an honest review! If the desserts are delicious, I’ll visit the shop as well!]
Lin Xiaowan stayed at Hong Minhua’s house until after dinner. Hong Minhua said that she would be having dinner alone; her family members were busy. For this reason, she decided to accompany Hong Minhua.
When the cook served the food at 6 PM, there was a sudden commotion at the door. A moment later, a young man with chestnut-brown hair appeared. He was wearing a sports jersey and sneakers. He did not look surprised when he saw there were other people. He only said, “Grandma, you have guests today.” The young man had met Xiao Han before so he naturally greeted the latter. “Hello, Brother Xiao Han!”
After that, the young man waited for Hong Minhua to introduce him to Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan did not expect another person to appear. Seeing how the other party was very casual and familiar with Hong Minhua, she guessed that the other party was Hong Minhua’s grandson. After all, the other party was too young to be Hong Minhua’s son.
Hong Minhua was surprised to see her eldest grandson. She asked, “Why did you suddenly come back at this time? Have you eaten? Do you want to join us?”
After that, Hong Minhua smiled and said, “This is Lin Xiaowan. 1 mentioned her to you before. Quick, say hello.” Then, she looked at Lin Xiaowan and said, “This is my grandson, Zheng Xiangming.”
“Hello, Sister Xiaowan,” Zheng Xiangming greeted Lin Xiaowan obediently.
Lin Xiaowan waved at him and smiled amiably. “Hello!”
Zheng Xiangming had just returned from playing basketball, and he had cycled home. He was feeling unbearably hot at this moment. Even after drinking a large glass of ice water to quench his thirst, he was not in the mood to chat much. He quickly rushed upstairs to take a shower.
Lin Xiaowan waited until Zheng Xiangming went upstairs before she asked, “Grandma Hong, how old is your grandson? He’s really tall!”
Zheng Xiangming was indeed very tall. He was tanned, and his physique was very good. He was the kind of boy who was really popular. When he played basketball, many girls would come to watch him.
“He’s in his third year of high school. His grades aren’t too good, but they’re not too bad as well. All in all, we don’t have to worry much about him.”
Hong Minhua had a son and a daughter-in-law. Her son-in-law was often away from the country due to work, and her daughter-in-law was usually alone. Zheng Xiangming grew up freely since his mother did not have any strict requirements for him. For that reason, everyone was satisfied that he grew up well and did not go astray.
The only thing Hong Minhua was not satisfied with was that Zheng Xiangming did not have many friends of the opposite gender.
It was only now that Lin Xiaowan found that Aunt Zheng, whom she had met at the dessert shop previously, was Hong Minhua’s daughter-in-law, not her daughter. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a very good relationship so they were not different mothers and daughters.
Lin Xiaowan exclaimed, “He’s only in his third year of high school, but he’s so tall?! He’s at least 1.8 meters tall!”
Xiao Han said, amused, “The time of a boy’s growth is usually coming to an end in the third year of high school. His height isn’t very rare…”
Lin Xiaowan nodded.
‘That’s right.. He’s about to turn 18…’
