Chapter 272 - 271: Slapped
Gu Tingting heard what her father said and felt indignant.
"Dad, who says Yunfang approached me on purpose? She likes me and that’s why she’s my friend. Besides, Yunfang has the best family background, talent, and looks. She is the most suitable match for my cousin. I really don’t understand what grandpa, grandma, and big cousin are thinking, actually settling on that woman."
Gu Yaozhong’s face turned red with anger when he heard his daughter speak.
"Shut up, don’t ever let me hear such words again, or I’ll deal with it every time I do. From now on, Yiyi is your big cousin’s wife, show some respect."
After saying this, he directly looked at his wife and said, "From now on, keep her under control, and don’t let her run around, especially not to see Shu Yunfang."
Zhuang Caixin was well aware of the implications and naturally nodded.
Before Yiyi was engaged to Tingyu, she didn’t care much. But now that the elder has already chosen the date, it means that Mo Yiyi will be the Gu family’s eldest grandson’s wife, so naturally, she adjusted her attitude.
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on Tingting."
Hearing his wife’s words, Gu Yaozhong felt somewhat relieved.
Yiyi naturally was unaware of the argument in the Gu family’s second house over her, as she was happily shopping with Gu Tingyu at that moment.
Gu Tingyu bought her a lot of stuff, even a set of jewelry.
"Gu Tingyu, I really don’t need these. I won’t wear such things often in the future."
Gu Tingyu shook his head and said, "They all look good, you can wear them if you want, or don’t wear them if you don’t want to."
Seeing Tingyu insist, Yiyi said no more.
After reserving a set of jewelry, Gu Tingyu then took Yiyi to buy clothes.
Yiyi quickly stopped him, saying, "We already bought enough before, no need to buy more."
"It’s almost New Year, and you always need new clothes for the occasion, right?"
Hearing this, Yiyi felt a bit helpless, but in the end, she still went to the mall with Gu Tingyu. However, she also bought several sets of clothes for Gu Tingyu.
"I don’t actually need so many. I don’t even have time to wear them, just on days off."
"Well, you do get days off, so you should prepare a few more sets."
Seeing Yiyi happily buying clothes for him, Gu Tingyu couldn’t help but smile, "Alright."
Afterwards, they went directly back to Shichahai.
Thinking about how he would go back to work tomorrow and Yiyi would return to school, Gu Tingyu was reluctant to part, but he was still very happy about securing their engagement this time.
"I should have some time off during the New Year. Are you and Aunt Ding staying in Shangjing for the holidays or going back home?"
"We should go back. My sister is due soon, and mom and I plan to come back after her delivery."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "Alright, then I’ll go to Houshan Town to find you guys and spend New Year with you."
Yiyi smiled and nodded.
Early the next day, Yiyi got up, and Gu Tingyu seized a little time in the morning to have breakfast with her before leaving.
After packing up her backpack, Yiyi went back to school for classes.
Thinking that Fei Erya still didn’t know about her engagement, Yiyi went to Jing University after classes in the afternoon, but after searching around, she didn’t find her.
"Are you looking for Fei Erya? Seems she’s gone to work."
A girl in the dorm saw Yiyi and couldn’t help but look her over. Seeing the stunning looks of Yiyi, almost on par with Fei Erya, she said, "You and your friend are really beautiful. I thought Erya was pretty enough, but I didn’t expect her friend to be this beautiful too."
Upon hearing this, Yiyi slightly smiled and said, "Thank you."
"No thanks needed. If you are looking for her, just check the restaurant at the school gate, she might still be working there, as her friend, you probably know that."
Yiyi nodded and said, "I know." Saying goodbye to the girl, she went straight to the restaurant at the school gate.
However, upon arriving at the restaurant she had visited last time, she found out that Fei Erya had already resigned.
Hearing this from the restaurant owner, Yiyi couldn’t help but furrow her brows, but seeing that Fei Erya indeed wasn’t there, she didn’t stay any longer.
At this moment, Fei Erya was happily looking at Fan Qianshu in front of her.
"Thank you so much this time, without you, I wouldn’t have found such a good job."
Originally, she worked in the restaurant, but a few days ago, Fan Qianshu introduced her to a tutoring job, which was not only easier but also paid a lot more. So, today she specially treated him to a meal.
Fan Qianshu, hearing this, smiled and said, "There’s no need to thank me, you’re a top student at Jing University, teaching junior high students is no problem for you. Plus, they said you teach very well and they’re very satisfied, so it’s all well-deserved. If you have time, I can introduce more students to you in the future.’
"Really? Thank you so much."
Fei Erya thanked him again and then took out a bag saying, "I didn’t know what gift to get you, so I knitted a sweater myself. If you don’t mind, please accept it."
Fan Qianshu took the bag, saw the simple and elegant sweater inside, and said, "Then thank you."
Seeing Fan Qianshu accept the gift, Fei Erya sighed in relief, and then looked at Fan Qianshu with bright eyes and said, "This restaurant is small, but the food tastes quite good. Try this spicy shredded chicken, I think it’s delicious."
Seeing Fei Erya’s expression, Fan Qianshu couldn’t help but glance at her more.
The girl was at the blossoming age, smiling as if a spring breeze, her eyes shining bright like sparkling stars, compelling attentiveness. Following her advice, he tried a bite of the spicy shredded chicken and nodded, "Indeed, it’s very good."
Seeing Fan Qianshu enjoying it, Fei Erya felt even happier and recommended another dish of blanched cabbage hearts.
They chatted and ate harmoniously, and after finishing dinner, they got up to go back to school.
"Qianshu..."
As Fei Erya and Fan Qianshu stepped onto the street, a woman suddenly approached them.
The person was Shui Bingqing.
Shui Bingqing looked very happy upon seeing Fan Qianshu, but when she saw Fei Erya beside him, her eyes were filled with resentment, "Why are you with Qianshu? What were you doing just now?"
Hearing this, Fei Erya slightly furrowed her brows but still opened her mouth to say, "We just had dinner together, I’m just grateful..."
"Slap..."
Before Fei Erya could finish her sentence, Shui Bingqing slapped her hard across the face.
