Chapter 353: Refusing to Acknowledge Younger Sister After the Meal
“Of course, I’m not angry. But she’s like a lunatic!”
Seems like Jiang Shaohe had tolerated enough to be scolding Liu Meigui in front of Qin Wange.
Qin Wange voiced her disagreement. “Shaohe, how can you speak of Meigui like that? She’s your fiancée!”
She then turned towards Gu Qingjiu and apologized to her in embarrassment. “Sorry, Sister, this was supposed to be a gathering for you. I didn’t expect… Meigui has always been like this. She always acts this way. Don’t take it to heart.”
Gu Qingjiu certainly didn’t mind, and she felt like she was watching a show.
Qin Wange’s words were clearly siding with Liu Meigui. As she looked at Qin Wange, Gu Qingjiu wasn’t quite sure if she was aware that Liu Meigui was a mean and harsh person.
Hence, she shook her head. “It’s okay.”
Gu Qingmo suddenly spoke, “Wange, next time don’t ask Liu Meigui along when we come out.”
“Qingmo…”
Qin Wange frowned and looked like she wanted to say something. In the end, she merely looked at Gu Qingjiu, before helplessly nodding her head. “Okay.”
Gu Qingjiu’s emotions were a little complex during the entire meal. The relationship between these people didn’t look simple.
However, she didn’t have the time to ask her brother for the time being.
Although Liu Meigui’s final words before leaving caused an awkward air for a while, it still returned to normal in quite a short while amidst Qin Wange’s gentle voice.
Gu Qingjiu could sense from her words that Qin Wange had the naïvete and innocence of someone young and inexperienced.
Perhaps it was because of this that Liu Meigui became her bestie.
A person like her usually didn’t have her guard up against anyone.
This innocence was unlike silliness. It was more like innocence that arose due to leading a worry-free life.
No idea if Gu Qingmo could tell that this girlfriend of his wasn’t at all simple.
At the end of the meal, Gu Qingmo paid the bill.
Gu Qingjiu pricked up her ears and heard that the meal cost 3,900 yuan.
Compared to the usual expenditure patterns of Gu Qingjiu’s family, 3,900 yuan was considered extravagant.
When she came to the capital, her mother only gave her a monthly allowance of 3,000 yuan.
This was considered a lot already.
Since Gu Qingjiu was in the military school, there wasn’t much need for her to spend money.
Even her school fees in the military school were exempted.
Spending 3,900 yuan on a meal was quite absurd.
However, this money belonged to her older brother, so she wouldn’t interfere with how he spends his own money.
After settling the bill, Qin Wange suggested, “Qingjiu, your older brother and I will bring you to see the famous attractions in the capital. I heard that you didn’t get to do much sightseeing the last time you came. Would you like to go?”
Gu Qingjiu gave it some thought. He Niancheng was going to pick her up at around six, so she had to make it back around that time.
Hence, she said, “Sister Wange, I have a dinner date with someone tonight and have to leave at six. Do you think there is sufficient time in the afternoon?”
“Six?”
Qin Wange was a little surprised. “We’re going to go to several places, so we definitely won’t be able to make it back by six. I wanted to bring you to try the local delicacies over here…”
Gu Qingjiu smiled, and she said, “It’s okay, Sister Wange, we can go next time. Since that’s the case, you and Brother can go together. I heard from my brother that you rarely get a day off nowadays.”
“Well then…”
Qin Wange was a little hesitant. Gu Qingmo couldn’t hold himself from speaking up any longer. “There’s nothing we can do since she has something on. Let’s go on our own.”
He clearly wanted to go with Qin Wange—just the two of them. Shao Lang and Jiang Shaohe could read his intention and were planning to find some excuse to leave.
Gu Qingjiu inwardly sighed. They just finished their meal, and yet after she met her sister-in-law, he was planning to abandon this younger sister of his.
