Chapter 41 The old man asked to see her by name (1)
After leaving the classroom, Gu Qingning went directly to the cafeteria.
Overslept in the morning, didn't have time to eat breakfast.
The huge cafeteria is deserted.
Only one window is left open.
"Student, what do you want?" Auntie at the window asked with a smile.
Gu Qingning glanced at the few steamed buns left in the steamer with light eyes, and parted her red lips, "Two steamed buns and a box of yogurt."
"okay."
Auntie at the window picked up the food clips and bags, and packed them up.
"Nine dollars."
Gu Qingning took the bag, then took out a ten-dollar sheet from his pocket and handed it over.
The aunt at the window took the money and gave her change.
"Student, is steel jumping okay?"
Holding a coin in calloused hands, Gu Qingning glanced at it and nodded slightly.
She reached out to take the steel jumper, stuffed it into her trouser pocket, and walked away slowly with the bag.
…
After class, the gate of Class C of the third year of high school was crowded with people.
Three floors inside and three floors outside, causing a wave of riots.
"so hot."
"Can I ask him for an autograph?"
"When can he teach us too?"
Having no time to pay attention to the whispers around, Gu Zhao glanced across the classroom.
Walking around, disappointment appeared in his eyes.
Where did you go?
At this moment, someone from behind patted him on the shoulder.
"Gu Zhao, why are you here?"
Gu Zhao looked back, met Xu An's suspicious eyes, shrugged, "Look for someone."
"Who can let Gu Sanshao go out in person?" Xu An crossed his arms and teased with a smile.
"My sister."
Xu An subconsciously thought that the sister he was talking about was Gu Wanwan, and blurted out authentically, "Isn't your sister a sophomore in high school? What are you doing here?"
"..."
Gu Zhaojun's face darkened, and he almost gave him a hammer.
He said clearly, "My sister's name is Gu Qingning."
Xu An said nonchalantly, "It's Gu Qingning."
After the words came out, he suddenly realized, with a look of astonishment, "Your sister is Gu Qingning?"
The conversation between the two did not restrain their voices, and countless pairs of ears around them could hear clearly.
Gu Qingning is Gu Zhao's younger sister?
Everyone felt as if struck by lightning, their eyes flashed with horror.
Gu Zhao glanced at Xu An, and said sinisterly, "Is it strange that my sister is Gu Qingning?"
Xu An frowned, "But it is rumored in school that Gu Qingning is the daughter of a relative of your Gu family."
When Gu Qingning first transferred to the school, there were many rumors about her in private, with various versions.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding temperature suddenly turned cold.
Everyone was chilled and fell silent.
Gu Zhaojun's face darkened, and the veins on his forehead twitched.
Which **** spreads such nonsense.
He raised his eyes to look at the crowd, and said loudly, "I, Gu Zhao, only have one younger sister, and that is Gu Qingning. From now on, if I hear anyone gossip again, don't blame me for being rude."
The surrounding area was eerily quiet.
Besides, Xu An was also stunned.
Knowing Gu Zhao for so long, it was the first time he saw Gu Zhao lose such a temper.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, a thin figure appeared at the back door.
Hesitating for a while, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, she was seen by her sharp-eyed deskmate.
"Qing Ning."
Sun Qiaoqiao trotted over, flicking the two braids on her head.
"Qingning, your brother is looking for you."
Gu Qingning paused and turned around helplessly.
Looking up, Gu Zhao was walking towards her.
People in the aisle stepped aside one after another, looking like they were enjoying the show.
Four eyes face each other.
Gu Zhao looked at her with regret and guilt, "Qingning, I'm sorry, I don't know..."
As soon as the words came to his lips, all the explanations suddenly became pale and powerless.
It was because they didn't come back earlier that these rumors spread.
Gu Qingning's expression was calm, his eyes passed him, and he stayed on Xu An, "Mr. Xu, I want to ask for leave. I will come back to make up the leave in the afternoon."
Xu An came back to his senses, glanced at Gu Zhao, and agreed with a smile, "No problem."
With permission, Gu Qingning turned and walked out, Gu Zhao hurriedly followed.
Xu An also gossips, but this is a family matter for brothers and sisters, and he will not follow along foolishly.
He reached out and knocked on the table, yelling, "It's all gone, go back to class."
For a while, people from the inner, third and outer floors left one after another.
Chu Xu approached Xu An with a playful smile, and said, "Old Xu, you are too partial. If someone asks for leave, you will agree."
Xu An sneered coldly, and patted his head with an iron sand palm, "Give me a perfect score in the exam if you have the ability."
Little bastard, neither big nor small.
…
Out of the teaching building, the brother and sister walked one after the other.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the corner of the corridor.
Gu Qingning paused, his eyes lightly glanced at the person who came.
Following her gaze, the visitor lowered his eyebrows and shouted respectfully, "Miss Qingning."
Seeing the butler appearing here, Gu Zhao's heart skipped a beat.
He took a step forward and stood in front of Gu Qingning, "Uncle Wan, why did you come to school?"
The butler smiled and said, "Third young master, the old man and the others are back and want to see Miss Qingning."
Hearing this, Gu Zhao's expression changed suddenly, "What does Grandpa want to see Qingning for?"
"Third young master, don't worry, the old man just hasn't met Miss Qingning, and he just wants to meet. He said that he wants you to go back too, so that the family can have a meal together." The housekeeper explained.
Gu Qingning came out from behind Gu Zhao, with a lukewarm voice, "I'm not free."
Knowing Gu Qingning's temper well, but the old man's order was on his head, the housekeeper showed helplessness, "Miss Qingning, you should go back with me."
"The old man said that he will let you go back no matter what, so don't make things difficult for us."
Hearing a hint of threat in his words, Gu Qingning caught a glimpse of the black-clothed bodyguard not far away from the corner of his eye, and the corners of his lips curled into a cool arc.
If she had to go back, she would not be responsible for the consequences.
Gu Qingning narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and said softly, "Let's go."
Seeing her change of focus, the butler was relieved.
Gu Zhao looked at Gu Qingning worriedly, no one could guess what the old man was thinking.
He will see Qingning as soon as he comes back, there must be something tricky about it.
Could it be that Cheng Yu went to sue the old man?
…
The sound of the engine disappeared, and the car stopped steadily in the courtyard.
Came to Gu's house again, the way the servants looked at Gu Qingning changed.
No longer the previous contempt and ridicule, only fear and guilty conscience.
Gu Zhao closed the car door, walked to Gu Qingning's side, and whispered, "Qingning, you will stand by my side later, the third brother will protect you if something happens."
Gu Qingning remained silent.
Gu Zhao secretly sighed, "Let's go."
Stepping into the living room, the dull atmosphere was oppressive.
When Cheng Yu saw the girl following Gu Zhao, he couldn't help thinking of those smashed jewels, and the hatred in his eyes became stronger.
