104 The Prince Charming Of Country Girl’s Dreams
Recently, Qu Bei had been very active in socializing. She arranged for afternoon tea with a few ladies that they had business dealings with and indirectly got to know a few ladies with similar family backgrounds.
“Mom, you… Don’t ask in such detail. Auntie is treating her best friend to a meal. She won’t go around showing off. You’ll make things difficult for Brother Yue if you ask,” Gu Rou said angrily.
Then, Gu Rou said to Zhang Yue, “Brother Yue, don’t mind her. My mother has always been straightforward.”
Zhang Chuan smiled and said, “It’s nothing. I heard from my mother that she’s having a meal with Mrs. Bai.”
“Mrs. Bai? The Bai family, one of the four major families in Han City?” Gu Yuan could not help but exclaim.
Zhang Chuan nodded. “Yes.”
“The Zhang family has a good relationship with the Bai family?” Gu Yuan asked again.
“We’re not really that close. It’s just that my mother and Mrs. Bai usually have some contact.” Zhang Yue answered every question.
“Then…”
Gu Yuan wanted to ask again, but Gu Rou interrupted him with a smile, “Dad, let Brother Yue rest first. Let’s have a cup of tea before we talk.”
Gu Rou knew what Gu Yuan wanted to ask. He knew that the Zhang family was related to the Bai family and wanted to use the Zhang family to get the Bai family to recommend Zhong Yao into the school.
However, Zhang Yue would definitely not be willing to mention it directly, so she quickly interrupted Gu Yuan’s questioning.
Gu Yuan smiled and said, “Look, I can’t stop once I start chatting.”
“These two are?” Zhang Yue looked at Gu Zhi and Zhong Yao and asked.
“Look, I forgot to introduce you. This is Gu Rou’s aunt and cousin. Just address them as Gu Rou does,” Gu Yuan quickly introduced them to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue nodded at the two of them. “Hello, Aunt and Cousin.”
The greeting made Zhong Yao blush. She replied, “Hello.”
Zhong Yao used to think that the young boys in town were very handsome. Now that she saw Zhang Yue, she realized that she had seen too little in the past. This was the man of her dreams.
However, when she saw Zhang Yue’s gentle gaze on Gu Rou, she felt envious and also felt that she was like an ugly duckling.
If she came from the Gu family, she could have a fashionable appearance like Gu Rou and have a handsome boyfriend.
Gu Zhi said enthusiastically, “You’re so handsome. I thought that our mayor’s son was already very handsome, but in the end, he can’t compare to you at all. As your aunt, I just hope that you guys can quickly get married and have a fat child.”
Gu Zhi’s words stunned everyone. Those who were used to being tactful could not accept such straightforward words.
Gu Rou’s face was already red. She said anxiously, “Aunt, you…”
When Gu Zhi saw Gu Rou’s expression, she realized that she had spoken without thinking. She quickly apologized to Zhang Yue, “Look at what I’m saying. Don’t mind me. I just came from the countryside…”
“Brother Yue, we saw that my aunt was having a hard time living in town, so we wanted to bring her to the city to enjoy life. She’s very straightforward. Don’t mind her.” Gu Rou quickly interrupted Gu Zhi and explained to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue smiled and said, “I see. It’s fine.”
Zhang Yue looked at Zhong Yao and saw that she had her head lowered from the beginning. He asked, “Doesn’t Cousin have to go to school?”
Before anyone could speak, Gu Zhi continued, “Our Zhong Yao wanted to come to Han City First High to study, but she can’t enter now. This is a delay. She’ll already be in the third year of high school when school starts. I’m so anxious.”
“You want to study at Han City First High? That means your results are very good, right?” Zhang Yue didn’t want to think about it.
“Her results are not bad, but… we just don’t know what her ranking will be in Han City First High School.” The more Gu Zhi spoke, the less confident she became.
“Oh, I see.” Zhang Yue immediately understood. So she wanted to get in through the back door as a transfer student.
He decided not to get involved in such matters.
However, just as he was about to change the topic, he heard Gu Yuan say, “The rules for transfer students this year have changed. It’s not as easy to enter as before. This child doesn’t have a father and her life is already difficult. We wanted to bring her to Han City to study so they have hope for the future, but we really don’t have a choice now.”
When Zhang Yue heard this, he thought, did they want him to help?
