Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 861: Chapter 861: No One Begged You to Come

Those who were quick-witted followed Gu Yingying, hoping to snag a ride in her small car.

A few people kept flattering Gu Yingying, and perhaps because her vanity was satisfied, when they came up to get in the small car, she didn’t turn them away.

Gu Yingying asked Shu Xiaomei, who was getting into the car with her, "Is everyone here?"

Shu Xiaomei glanced at the paper in her hand, "Everyone who signed up with me is here."

Gu Yingying then instructed the driver, "Let’s go."

Jiang Peiqin saw the car in front start moving and told the driver, "Uncle Zhang, follow the car in front. Once we’re out of the city, overtake it. No need to trail behind eating their dust."

The driver nodded in agreement, "Sure."

He knew the way to Miyun, so there was really no need to stick behind that car.

After a while, they found an intersection and overtook the car in front. With a step on the gas, the driver left the car behind them in a cloud of dust.

The driver knew the reservoir that Jiang Peiqin mentioned, so there was no need to wait for Shu Xiaomei in the back car to lead the way.

However, Uncle Zhang would often stop for a rest, conveniently waiting for the car behind to catch up.

The classmates sitting in the back of the double-row seat truck really suffered along the way, not only enduring the dust kicked up by the car in front but also feeling the pain in their behinds.

By the time they arrived, they’d been jostled so much that they couldn’t even feel their own butts; it was all numb.

One classmate complained, "If I’d known I’d suffer so much riding this car, I wouldn’t have come."

Gu Yingying heard this and her face turned dark, "It’s not like anyone begged you to come."

That classmate wasn’t one to back down, "If you’d said earlier we could only get a cargo truck, I wouldn’t have come even if you begged. You’re really good at bragging."

Gu Yingying was quite upset; she hadn’t expected that no matter how much she pleaded, her father just wouldn’t agree to send any more small cars.

In the end, it was her Second Brother, Gu Boyan, who suggested she herself take a sedan and then get a cargo truck to come as well.

Gu Yingying had no choice but to agree, leading to today’s situation.

Xinyan initially didn’t want to come because of Gu Yingying’s presence, but Jiang Peiqin wanted to come to fish, thinking it’d be nice to relax a bit after being so tired lately.

Plus, Jiang Peiqin had said early on that her family would send a car, so she wouldn’t have to endure Gu Yingying’s antics or squeeze onto a public bus, making her less averse to the trip.

Xinyan glanced irritably at the still quarreling group and signaled Jiang Peiqin with her eyes.

Jiang Peiqin said a few words to the driver and led Xinyan forward.

The place where their car stopped was just a few hundred meters away from the reservoir they were heading to today, surrounded by woods, with a grassy area in front and lots of big rocks around the reservoir, perfectly suited for camping.

Not far off on the shore, there were already people there, indicating that the place was popular for weekend outings.

Xinyan and Jiang Peiqin walked ahead as Master Zhang followed them with the fishing gear.

Jiang Peiqin had planned to teach Xinyan, but to her surprise, Xinyan was quite adept once she got her hands on the fishing gear.

Jiang Peiqin asked, "Have you fished before?"

Xinyan didn’t stop her movements, "Yeah, there was a big river near where I used to live, and I’d fish there when I had nothing to do, trading the fish with locals for some living expenses."

It was the first time Jiang Peiqin had heard Xinyan talk about herself: "I don’t quite understand?"

Xinyan smiled at her, "At that time, my parents weren’t around."
