Chapter 693: The Proud Miss



Zhang Mei’s brother was not oblivious to the fact that Gu Shan, the old fox, was deliberately provoking him. The red envelope, which was supposedly a token of goodwill from two people, was clearly a bribe he had given to Gu Shan in exchange for his assistance.

However, in the current situation, he had no choice but to respond with a forced smile, “Indeed, how could we arrive empty-handed? I was in such a hurry that I simply filled a red envelope.”

Gu Zi didn’t hesitate to accept the envelope, saying, “Uncle, you are too kind. Since this is a token of goodwill from my elders, I have no reason to refuse. If you are leaving, allow me to see you out.”

After seeing the two men out, Su Li emerged from the dining area, asking his elder brother, “Brother, I remember our results should be out tomorrow morning, and the class divisions announced. Why did mom say the results would be out in the afternoon?”

He didn’t believe that his mother would let others use these two spots, but he was genuinely confused by her actions. Why didn’t she simply refuse?

Su Bing returned to the dining table, picked a few strands of pickled vegetables for his younger sister, Su Le, and watched her eat with her spoon. He said, “Mother is simply deceiving them, buying time until the class divisions are finalized tomorrow. Then, it won’t be as simple as just switching spots. This way, mother doesn’t have to have a falling out with them, and this matter will naturally pass.”

Su Li suddenly understood and gave a thumbs up, “Our mother is truly brilliant!”

As Su Bing sat down to eat, he found his brother’s chatter slightly annoying. However, as soon as his brother finished speaking, another loud voice entered Su Bing’s ears as their mother returned from seeing off the guests.

“You must have known I was coming today and waited for me at the door, right? At least you have a conscience. I took time out of my day to visit you, after all, you are my good friend. Now that you’ve moved to the city, I can’t just ignore you…”

Su Bing looked up to see his mother’s good friend, Gong Xin, had arrived.

She was talking non-stop while sitting down at the restaurant table, placing a rather worn-out large handbag on the table. She continued to talk as she took out the items from the bag one by one. Despite the bag’s appearance, the items inside were quite exquisite, all in foreign packaging.

He didn’t quite understand her actions, but it didn’t matter. After greeting her, he continued eating. Meanwhile, Gong Xin was still talking, “Look, these are all housewarming gifts I brought for you. Although I didn’t carefully select them, I know you’re not the type to be picky. They’re all for you. Are we having corn porridge today? I haven’t had that in a while, quickly serve me a bowl!”

Gong Xin had gotten the address from Jin Long. As soon as she had some free time today, she packed all the gifts she had carefully selected into this worn-out bag and took a taxi over.

In her rush to find a worn-out handbag, she almost missed lunch at Gu Zi’s house. Fortunately, she made it in time. She loved the food Gu Zi made, even if it was just corn porridge.

Gu Zi packed the gifts into the old bag, seeing through Gong Xin’s intentions. She was indeed quite proud, deliberately using such a worn-out bag for the gifts. Anyone who didn’t know better would think she was giving away old items.

In reality, the bag contained carefully selected high-end small gifts like lipstick and lotion, all in exquisite small packages.

Gong Xin was a good woman in all respects, except for her stubbornness. These small items were all quite expensive, so they couldn’t have been chosen carelessly. However, seeing the effort this woman put into her gifts, Gu Zi felt quite happy.

She put away the gifts and served Gong Xin a bowl of corn porridge, “Here, my proud miss, you eat first. I’ll go to the kitchen and get you some delicious food to take home. You can keep it in the fridge and eat it slowly.”

Gong Xin didn’t stand on ceremony, taking a big sip of the corn porridge. It was delicious, but she took issue with Gu Zi’s recent nickname for her.

After swallowing the corn porridge, she retorted, “What are you talking about, Gu Zi? I’m not a proud miss. I… I just saw that you didn’t have many friends in the city, so I came bearing gifts…”

Su Bing and Su Li exchanged glances, puzzled. Women truly were a mysterious species, full of quirks. There were gentle and kind ones like their mother, and then there were those like Sister Gong Xin, who said one thing and meant another.

They really wanted to tell Sister Gong Xin that they could see how much she cared about their mother, her good friend. Why did she have to pretend and act so proud?
