Chapter 73
73 Bigshot Is Embarrassed
Gu Man couldn’t be bothered to watch these people flatter each other and turned around to go to her room.
She was going out for dinner later.
Gu Man changed her clothes and went to a restaurant beside the park.
Gu Man stood at the door for a while before she saw Miss Zhuang and an elegant man getting out of the car.
Gu Man quickly walked up to them.
Zhuang Yan looked up and saw Gu Man. She turned to the man beside her and introduced, “Senior, this is my student Gu Man that I’ve mentioned to you before.”
Zhong Kai smiled and nodded at Gu Man.
Gu Man called out softly, “Hello, Teacher.”
Zhong Kai smiled happily. “I’ll let you hold your acknowledgment of me as your teacher first. I’ll wait for you to really become my student. Come, let’s go in first.”
The reserved table was in the long corridor of the restaurant. There was a screen on one side to block it, and on the other side, one could enjoy the river breeze and enjoy the view of the river.
“Gu Man, I’m just here to chat. Don’t be reserved.”
Zhong Kai saw that Gu Man was calm and not the kind of child who was outgoing. He was worried that she would be restrained.
“Senior, Gu Man’s personality is like this. Sometimes, I think she’s even calmer than me.”
She had interacted with Gu Man a few times and finally had such an experience, so she said half-jokingly.
Zhong Kai smiled again and joked, “Then you’ve found your kind.”
Zhuang Yan smiled too. “That’s why I tried my best to let her study in the school I attended.”
“Gu Man, do you really want to go to Zhong Chu University’s Hua Guang Physics Academy?”
Zhong Kai entered the main topic of the conversation.
“Yes.”
“I’ve seen your answers. They’re very outstanding. I have a feeling that you’ll be very accomplished in physics, so I recommended you to the Hua Guang Physics Academy, but there’s still a series of assessments to go.”
Zhong Kai added some details of the talent plan for Zhong Chu University.
Seeing Gu Man’s determination and confidence from beginning to end, Zhong Kai could not help but feel relieved.
Gu Man went to the washroom halfway. When she was walking back along the corridor, someone stopped her.
She looked over in shock. It was Mrs. Zhou.
There were a few other madams beside Mrs. Zhou. It seemed like they were going to eat here too.
“Gu Man, are you here to eat too?” Mrs. Zhou asked warmly.
“Yup.”
Mrs. Zhou saw that Gu Man was wearing jeans on the lower half of her body and a slim and ancient-looking white knitted long-sleeved shirt. The plain color accentuated her coldness.
She looked at the similarly plain bag on Gu Man’s back and thought to herself, The bag I gave was a little extravagant. I wonder if Gu Man likes it?
She thought about it and decided to ask, “Do you like the bag I gave you?”
‘Bag?’
Gu Man suddenly remembered that she had forgotten the gift from Mrs. Zhou.
Gu Man finally revealed an awkward expression, but she still said truthfully, “I’m sorry, I haven’t opened it yet.”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned. This was the first time something like this had happened to her when she gave a gift.
But looking at Gu Man’s honest words and the fact that she did not seem to despise her, Mrs. Zhou felt relieved.
“Go back and see if you like it. If you don’t like this style, tell me. I’ll change it.”
The few wealthy women at the side laughed. One of them said, “Those who don’t know better would think that you’re doting on your daughter.”
“She’s the one that saved my daughter, isn’t she like my daughter?” Mrs. Zhou said matter-of-factly.
“Mrs. Zhou, I’ll take a seat first. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Hearing Gu Man’s words, Mrs. Zhou suddenly remembered that she had stopped Gu Man halfway and accidentally said so much. She quickly said, “Okay, go quickly.”
Looking at Gu Man’s departing figure, Madam Zhang said, “She’s getting better-looking. She used to look like a country girl, but after not seeing her for a while, she seems to have changed into a different person.”
Mrs. Zhou looked at her in shock. “Madam. Zhang, you know Gu Man?”
As they walked, Madam Zhang said, “She is my son’s girlfriend’s sister.”
“Ah, what a coincidence. Then we’ll have something to talk about when we meet your Ah Yue’s girlfriend.” Mrs. Zhou couldn’t help but look forward to it.
“Look at how excited you are. Don’t scare her.” One of the ladies looked at Mrs. Zhou’s expectant expression and couldn’t help but joke.
Mrs. Zhou smiled and glared at the lady before asking, “When will she arrive?”
As she spoke, a girl in a light blue dress and white high heels slowly walked over. The ladies praised, “What a beauty.”
It was Gu Rou.
