Chapter 335: A Chance Meeting With Mingyue – Be My Sister-In-Law (3)
Gu Qingyao knew all these, but she could not bear to actually do anything about it.
She was different from Ji Mingyue. Ji Mingyue came from a good background. She had grown up with the loving and tender care of her family. She was frank, generous and carefree by nature.
The events she encountered later on had not really affected her family.
But she was different. In Gu family’s environment, she had known from young that she must exercise caution in everything to avoid causing trouble for her family. She knew that the moment her family made a misstep, disaster might befall them.
At that point, she was still too young and immature. She had been badly frightened, and after Jiang Linshi created so much trouble for her, the entire brigade mocked her. Even her grandparents had been beaten and her father had been lamed.
The incident had affected her too badly, and she still bore the psychological scars.
Ji Mingyue was greatly impressed by Gu Qingyao’s skills. She held Gu Qingyao’s hand and said, “I’m Ji Mingyue. What’s your name? Can we be friends?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “My surname is Gu. Gu Qingyao.”
Ji Mingyue was taken aback. Her large, black eyes immediately brightened.
Gu Qingyao?
From the Gu family?
Could this be the Yao Yao from the Gu family that Grandma was going on about every day?
Mhm!
She was so pretty!
Ji Mingyue immediately beamed so widely that her eyes almost disappeared. She was delighted when she thought of how skilled her future sister-in-law was, and how her older brothers would be beaten up the moment they disobeyed!
She immediately forgot her fright and unhappiness.
“You’re incredible! Do you know martial arts? Who taught you?”
Gu Qingyao smiled and replied, “I only know a few lousy moves. My older cousins are much better. They taught me.”
“Where are you going? Come home with me! Let me treat you to a meal, all right?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. This girl had immediately struck up a friendship with her.
“No need, I have to go home! I’ve just bought groceries. Are you all right?”
Ji Mingyue’s expression darkened, but she quickly recovered. She had temporarily forgotten about the previous unhappy incident. Right now, the most important thing was to build a good relationship with her future sister-in-law.
“I’m fine, thanks to you! Fortunately, you rescued me. That Zhang Qiang is a nasty piece of work. In the future, both of us have to avoid him. When I get home, I’ll tell my older brother and ask him to beat Zhang Qiang up!”
Zhang Qiang?
She vaguely recalled that the fellow who kept pestering Ji Mingyue in her previous life was called Zhang Qiang.
Gu Qingyao smiled and said, “I’m glad you’re fine. My home is up ahead. Why don’t you come to my house! I have to deliver food to my older cousin today, so I have to cook a little earlier. You can eat with us!”
Ji Mingyue hesitated. “That… that doesn’t seem right! I… oh right, I forgot to tell you, I… that little clinic over there belongs to my grandfather. My grandparents especially like a girl called Yao Yao. Is that you?”
Gu Qingyao was stunned. Those were Ji Mingyue’s grandparents?
She had not known that in her previous life.
But the old lady’s married name was Ji, and she only had one granddaughter, who was Ji Mingyue, and four grandsons. It was true!
Gu Qingyao replied with a smile, “If you’re talking about Grandfather and Grandma Ji from that clinic, then that’s me. All right, don’t stand on ceremony with me. Let’s go! Let’s go to my house!”
Ji Mingyue immediately laughed as cunningly as a fox. All right, she could take a look at her sister-in-law’s family, hehehe!
When they reached the Gu home, the two children were practicing their writing while Zhou Ping remained lying in bed.
“I’m back. Third Aunt, I’ve brought a friend back with me.”
Zhou Ping was taken aback, but she smiled the moment she saw Ji Mingyue. “It’s Mingyue! Please come in and have a seat.”
