Chapter 99: Meeting Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mom, Brother Wencheng asked me to go meet up with him!” Yin Qiqi was like a happy little bird as she flew to find Mother Yin. Mother Yin was trimming the flowers in the greenhouse. When she saw Yin Qiqi coming over, she smiled gently.” Run slowly. Don’t fall.”
Yin Qiqi had been pampered by Mother Yin since she was young. The two of them shared everything. “Mom, I’m so happy. Brother Wencheng asked me to meet him at noon. Do you think Brother Wencheng has finally discovered my good side and started to like me?” She held onto Mama Yin’s arm and leaned her head on her shoulder.
Yin Qiqi was very naive, so naive that she didn’t look like a twenty-year-old girl at all.
“Did Gu Wencheng call you personally?” Mother Yin frowned.
“No, it’s his assistant.” Yin Qiqi shook her head.
Mama Yin’s face suddenly turned serious. “Qiqi, tell me that you didn’t say anything to Meng Nianyao when you left the ward with her yesterday, right?”
Yin Qiqi felt a little guilty, but she didn’t dare to admit it. “Mom, don’t let your imagination run wild. 1’11 go upstairs and dress up. I’ll go see Brother Wencheng later.” After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Yin Mama frowning as she watched her leave.
Yin Qiqi went upstairs to her bedroom and carefully put on her makeup. Then, she picked out a light pink knitted dress from the wardrobe and put it on, finishing up with a cream-white woolen coat and a knitted hat. Her slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders, making her look like an exquisite doll. She walked around in front of the dressing mirror and was very satisfied with her appearance.
When it was about time, Yin Qiqi called for her chauffeur and left. The address of the cafe that Ping Yang sent was not far from the Gu Corporation. Because it was working hours, there were not many people in the cafe. She asked for a private room and sat down to wait for Gu Wencheng.
About twenty minutes later, Gu Wencheng arrived.
Yin Qiqi smiled and hugged Gu Wencheng’s arm.” Brother Wencheng, why did you ask me out for coffee? Aren’t you busy? If you’re not busy, can I go to the company to play with you?”
She was chattering away when Gu Wencheng brushed her hand away coldly.
She froze.
“Yin Qiqi.” Gu Wencheng looked at her expressionlessly.
She was a little scared by Gu Wencheng’s serious expression and felt a little guilty. “What’s wrong, Brother Wencheng?”
“What did you say to Nianyao yesterday?” Gu Wencheng looked at her sternly.
Yin Qiqi was shocked and did not react for a moment.
“Speak.” Gu Wencheng’s voice turned colder. After their conversation yesterday, he had asked Meng Nianyao who had told her about Ning Xi, but Meng Nianyao had insisted that it wasn’t important. That said, though she herself didn’t think it was important, that didn’t mean Gu Wencheng would let go of a person who had a bad mouth, who had told Meng Nianyao about Ning Xi and even said that she was a substitute.
It was obvious that this person was trying to sow discord between them. If Meng Nianyao hadn’t been clear-headed and rational, he couldn’t imagine what would have happened between them in the end.
Yin Qiqi looked at Gu Wencheng and realized that he was here to settle the score with her. Ning Xi’s death had always been kept a secret; outsiders only knew that Gu Wencheng had a first love, but she had never been revealed. The reason why she knew was because she had pestered her mother for a long time before her mother told her and told her not to mention the Ning Xi so casually. Yin Qiqi had been too jealous of Meng Nianyao yesterday, especially when seeing that Grandpa Gu had also started to accept her. That was why she had blurted out something she shouldn’t have.
Yin Qiqi subconsciously shivered. She looked at Gu Wencheng and stammered, “No…” 1 didn’t say anything…”
Gu Wencheng didn’t speak, but his eyes were sharp and forceful. Yin Qiqi was a spoiled daughter of a rich family, and in addition, Gu Wencheng had treated her well and had always been pleasant, so she couldn’t stand his cold gaze.
She started crying. “Brother Wencheng, don’t look at me like that. It’s scary…l only told Meng Nianyao that she looked like your ex-girlfriend. 1 didn’t say anything else. Brother Wencheng, don’t be angry. I won’t do it again…”
Gu Wencheng knew that Yin Qiqi was only telling one-third of the truth. Perhaps she had also said something to Meng Nianyao that would poke at her! At the thought of this, the atmosphere around him became even more gloomy. “Yin Qiqi, 1 don’t care whose daughter you are. If 1 find out that you said something to my wife that you shouldn’t, don’t blame me for being rude to you!” With that, he turned around and left..
