Chapter 2668 - 472: Zinan Is Also Cunning
Chapter 472
Bai Qingling smiled faintly, "It’s nothing."
She sat up straight, tilted her head back to finish the water in her cup, and stood up to ask Gu Zinan, "Does everyone know you’re going abroad? How about we get together one day?"
Gu Zinan raised an eyebrow and stood up with her, "Sister Qingling, are you hinting that I should leave?"
Why are we standing just to talk?
His seat isn’t even warm yet, and she’s already rushing him out, which is a bit excessive.
Qingling smiled brightly, "You’re so smart, then finish your water and hurry home."
"You invited me in for a chat, so why don’t I just stay over tonight?"
Gu Zinan said as he stepped out of the sofa.
Bai Qingling paused for a moment and caught up with him at the staircase, grabbing his clothes, "No, I don’t let people stay overnight."
Gu Zinan turned his gaze to her with a smile, pulled out his phone, and when she let go, he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
He said to the camera, "Be good, smile."
"Let me go."
Qingling laughed and scolded.
Gu Zinan held her tighter, "No way, big brother will be going abroad in a few days, won’t see you for two years, let’s take a selfie together."
Under Bai Qingling’s futile resistance, Gu Zinan took several shots.
After taking the photos, he let go of Bai Qingling, slipped the phone into his pocket, "You get some rest early, I’m heading out."
Qingling gave him a glare.
Seeing him really head towards the entrance, she escorted him to the door.
Gu Zinan waved his hand stylishly, indicating she didn’t need to see him off further.
Two minutes later, Qingling went upstairs, pushed open her bedroom door, and Gu Zinan’s post on Moments popped into her view.
She paused in her steps.
Her other hand still holding the door handle, she stared at the photo of their selfie.
Gu Zinan’s head was almost touching hers; she guessed this was probably the closest of the bunch.
Bai Qingling instinctively pursed her lips. She shouldn’t have invited him in for a chat.
But at that time, she was just casually saying it; who knew Gu Zinan was like a radish stuck in the sand.
[Yo! Young man has potential.]
Within less than a minute, Mo Ziye popped out with a comment.
Bai Qingling thought for a moment and also commented, [How can you post with me looking so ugly, delete it.]
As soon as she posted her comment, another person who loves a good spectacle chimed in.
[Brother Zinan, why did you go to Sister Qingling’s house, what’s going on with you two? What did it mean when our cousin said you have potential?]
[You left too early and missed the excitement... Cousin, I’ve decided to seriously consider your suggestion.]
Their baffling comments and replies aren’t understood by everyone.
But there are those who know the inside story, who get it.
For example, Ye Zhan and Momo.
Momo watched them chat in Zinan’s Moments, hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, [If you want to chat, do it in the group, don’t affect my scrolling Moments.]
Since everyone is friends, the ever-increasing comments, saying they affect her scrolling Moments, isn’t excessive.
After posting the comment, the bathroom door beside her sounded.
With a glance, she saw Ye Zhan emerge from the bathroom, his legs long under the bathrobe.
She blinked, matched his smiling eyes, and cheerfully called, "Husband, come take a look at Zinan’s post."
"What’s posted?"
Ye Zhan squinted slightly, took the towel from his head, and walked over with long strides.
Bending over, he wrapped his arm around Momo’s shoulder and looked at the phone with her.
"Zinan stayed over at Qingling’s?"
Ye Zhan’s mouth curled into an indiscernible arc; when Junming sees this post, his heart will surely feel uneasy.
Momo looked up at him, her clear eyes reflecting his handsome features, "That’s what he said, and the photo was also taken at Qingling’s."
"Momo,"
Ye Zhan softly called her name.
"Mhm."
He planted a kiss on her forehead and sighed, "Ziye’s influence is really powerful."
"Pfft!"
Momo looked at the man’s refined features in front of her, "See, you better not bully me."
"I don’t dare."
Ye Zhan laughed softly, "I used to only think Ziye was cunning, not to be messed with, but now it seems Zinan also has a dark side; I wonder if Ziyang might be kinder?"
"..."
Momo smiled at him, "Did they make things difficult for you at our wedding?"
"No."
Ye Zhan shook his head.
After some thought, he added, "Ziyang sternly warned me and Jinchen, saying that he, Zinan, and Ziyang are all your backing..."
Momo chuckled, "Yes, those three are real men, taught from a young age to protect us girls."
"Ziyang seems a little kinder."
Ye Zhan mused.
Momo laughed even more delighted, "That’s because you haven’t crossed him."
"There shouldn’t be any problems with Yi Ze; Aunt Yan also likes Qinghuan; if they get together, it should go smoothly. It’s Junming who’s having trouble right now."
Tonight, Mo Ziye and Gu Zinan’s actions mean something they all understand.
...
Hotel.
Chu Junming looked at Gu Zinan’s selfie post on Moments, feeling a heaviness in his chest.
Although he hadn’t been to Bai Qingling’s house, he knew the photo was taken there.
Bai Qingling’s smile was beautiful, but the hand wrapped around her shoulder was an eyesore.
He scrolled through the comments one by one, inexplicably envious of their group’s relationship; it’s different from other wealthy families.
His phone rang.
The screen flashed with the word ’Brother’.
Chu Junming settled his emotions, his long fingers pressed the answer button, his voice gentle, "Hello, brother."
"Junming, have you arranged for aunt’s stay?"
Ye Zhan’s deep voice came concerned over the line.
Chu Junming got up from the sofa and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, "I booked a room for them. Brother, I’m sorry about tonight, talk to sister-in-law for me."
If Jiang Qian had spoken about anyone other than Momo, Chu Junming might not have been so angry.
But she specifically spoke about Momo in that way.
He’s worried Momo might be affected by Jiang Qian’s words...
"Junming, don’t worry, Jiang Qian’s words can’t affect me; I’m not that fragile anymore."
Moments later, the voice in his ear turned to Momo’s.
She even comforted Chu Junming, "Don’t worry about Zinan’s post; among us, other than Ziye and Qingqing, the rest are just like brothers and sisters."
"Sister-in-law, thank you, I understand."
Momo’s words eased some of the burden on Chu Junming’s heart.
"Junming, may I ask, do you know how long your mother intends to stay in G City?"
"I’m having her return tomorrow, and I’m also heading back to Imperial City."
"That’s good."
Momo explained with a smile, "It’s not that I’m not welcoming your mother; it’s just with Jiang Qian around, it’s hard for us to fulfill the host’s role..."
First impressions are important between people, and Momo’s impression of Mother Chu and Jiang Qian wasn’t good, but for Chu Junming’s sake, she could tolerate Mother Chu for now.
Chu Junming and Momo chatted for two minutes, then he talked with Ye Zhan for a while.
Knowing Momo wasn’t really affected by Jiang Qian, he finally felt relieved.
Ending the call, Chu Junming glanced at the messages in the Wechat group.
Then he exited Wechat and called Bai Qingling.
