Chapter 771: Second Cousin’s Deception (2)
They talked and laughed for a while, but mostly, the three girls played together. After all, they were young people who had many common topics of interest. Gu Qingyao knew that Ji Mingyue was in a bad mood. She was a doctor, and she could discern the unhappy look that lingered on the girl’s brow. So Gu Qingyao continued to make things fun for Ji Mingyue.
The Gu house was very large. The house itself had three stories, and there was a large courtyard behind. They had been slowly doing it up, and it looked much prettier now. Because this house belonged to the Gu family, they could do whatever they liked with it. Second Uncle was thinking of building another row of rooms in the backyard to be used as guest rooms.
After all, the Gu family was so large and had so many relatives. He was the most successful one in the Gu family, so in the future, he would have to deal with many family matters. This represented the Gu family, so he must make it a little grander.
Gu Qingyao made Ji Mingyue stay at the Gu house to have some fun. Also, Gu Qingyao had so many interesting things to tell her and had so many encounters that Ji Mingyue felt dazzled by it. She did not even remember to go home.
When it was time to cook, she even dragged Ji Mingyue to the kitchen to cook.
Of course, the Gu family had a woman in charge of the cooking, but Gu Qingyao mainly wanted Ji Mingyue to have more experiences.
She made some pretty desserts for Ji Mingyue. Ji Mingyue was dazed by how she combined cream with fruits. “My God! It’s so pretty, I can’t bear to eat it!”
Ji Mingyue was drooling at the sight of the strawberry cake.
Then there were medicinal herbs and all kinds of beauty tonics. Ji Mingyue’s eyes almost fell out of her head.
She stayed at the Gu house until it was dark. She ate and drank until she was satisfied, then Gu Jinhang sent her home.
When they reached home, Ji Mingzhe happened to be home too. He was shocked to see his younger sister in pretty clothes, with makeup on, smiling and skipping!
Was this his younger sister?
“Brother!” Ji Mingzhe excitedly addressed him in her sweet voice. Before Ji Mingzhe could open his mouth, she was babbling.
“Brother, I met Yao Yao today, and I’ve been playing at her house. Brother! Yao Yao is so amazing. I want to be like her. I want to earn money. I want a job. I want to be more pretty. I want to travel. Oh, oh, oh!”
Ji Mingzhe: “… ”
This was a real shock!
The Ji Mingyue in front of him was completely different from her past self. For the past five or six years, she had been deeply wounded by gossip and was struggling to survive. Now she had been transformed into an energetic and spirited girl?
It was as if Ji Mingyue had been completely transformed!
Ji Mingyue did not realize how much she had changed. She was still absorbed in her excitement. What Gu Qingyao had told her had stirred up her yearnings.
She talked about dressing up, makeup, jobs, salary, travel, how to keep in good health, how to cook and so on. There was just too much, and it was too wonderful. Compared to Gu Qingyao, she felt that she was completely lacking.
No, she wanted to be like Gu Qingyao and enjoy the wonderful things in life that she had not experienced. Then she would be so happy!
“Oh, Yao Yao also made a strawberry cake for me. It’s so delicious. Brother, you must try it. I’ll give some to my nephews too. You can’t get something so nice outside.”
Ji Mingyue remembered the cake she had brought back and hurried to get it.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinhang had already taken the cake off his bicycle and handed it to Ji Mingyue. Ji Mingyue smiled. “Thank you, Brother Gu!”
