173 Come and See

When Gu Man heard this, she also realized that there doesn’t seem to be a hurry to bring them out for a walk today. However, she could bring Huang Jue out to see the big city, so she asked Huang Jue, “Cousin, do you want to go out? Why don’t I bring you to see the competition my friend mentioned?”

Hearing Gu Man’s words, Huang Jue said excitedly, “Can you really bring me there?”

Gu Man nodded. “Of course.”

Gu Man called Bai Ling. Bai Ling’s excited voice sounded from the other end of the phone. “Miss Gu Man, have you changed your mind?”

“My uncle is resting in the afternoon. I’ll watch the competition with you, but I need to bring my cousin. Is that okay?”

“Of course, no problem. I’ll ask my brother to pick you up at about two o’clock. The competition will be held at the Han City Opera House at three.”

“The opera house? Isn’t it your tennis competition?” Gu Man was stunned. She thought that Bai Ling was talking about her favorite tennis competition.

“No, this afternoon is the zonal finals of the National Guzheng Competition. I heard it’s very grand. You have to come and take a look.”

Hearing that it was a guzheng competition, Gu Man was instantly uninterested because Gu Rou was one of the participants.

Gu Man knew that this situation happened because she didn’t ask in advance, but she thought that she had already told Bai Ling, so it wasn’t good for her to say that she wasn’t going.

Hence, Gu Man stopped hesitating. “Alright, I’ll wait for you guys to come.”

“Miss Gu Man, you’re too kind. See you later.”

Gu Man hung up and asked Huang Jue teasingly, “It’s a guzheng competition. Do you still want to go?”

When Huang Jue heard this, he was stunned. “Guzheng competition? I don’t know how to appreciate this.”

Huang Jun patted Huang Jue’s shoulder. “Just treat it as going to see the world and meet people.”

When Huang Jue heard this, he seemed to make sense, so he nodded and said, “Then go.”

“Then get ready and change your clothes,” Gu Man said.

“Okay.”

When Bai Ling and Bai Yun came to pick Gu Man up, they were stunned when they saw her.

Gu Man had specially changed into a white shirt and long skirt today. She had an exquisite black belt wrapped around her waist, making her figure look even more slender and tall. She even tied her hair into a high ponytail, making her look youthful and beautiful.

Bai Ling jumped out of the car and praised, “Miss Gu Man, you’re so beautiful today.”

Gu Man smiled. “Thank you!”

Gu Man pulled Huang Jue over and introduced him to Bai Ling and Bai Yun. “This is my cousin, Huang Jue. He’s in his third year of junior high school. I brought him out to relax.”

Bai Ling greeted her generously, “Hello, I’m Bai Ling. I’m in Year One. You can call me Sister.”

Bai Yun rolled her eyes at Bai Ling. “Look at how happy you are. Finally, someone can call you sister.” Then, she turned to look at Huang Jue. “Brother Huang Jue, you can call me Brother Bai Yun.”

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Bai Yun and snorted softly. “You’re still talking about me.”

“Hello, Sister Bai Ling, hello, Brother Bai Yun.” Although Huang Jue was a little shy, his actions did not seem awkward.

“Then let’s go. Miss Gu Man, I’ll sit in the back with you. Brother Huang Jue, sit in the passenger seat.”

The four of them drove to the opera house. When they reached the door and saw that everyone wanted to check their tickets, Gu Man asked, “We haven’t bought our tickets, right?”

“Our Bai family is the sponsor. There’s no need to buy tickets. Let’s go through the other door,” Bai Yun said as he brought them in through another door.

Although Gu Man had seen some pictures of the opera house on the Internet, this was the first time she had entered such a place. This was because it was appropriate for a classical instrument like the guzheng. The decor of the entire theater revealed classical elegance.

All the ladies present were wearing elegant dresses. Even a carefree girl like Bai Ling was wearing a light yellow pleated dress.

Before Gu Man set off, she even studied the guzheng with Huang Jue, but she felt that it was not important.

In a while, she might really be here to meet people as her uncle had said!

“Cousin, this place is so stylish.” Huang Jue couldn’t help but sigh.

Gu Man hummed softly. She felt that it was alright.

In her previous life, she had entered the palace. It was almost made of gold, silver, and jewelry. It was so luxurious that it made one speechless.

However, Bai Ling explained, “This is a national competition. Of course it has to be classy.”

Then, Bai Ling handed over a program list. “This is the program list. It’s going to start in half an hour. We’ll be sitting down in a while.”

Gu Man glanced at the program list and her eyelids twitched. Gu Rou’s name was on it.
