Chapter 9: Being Mocked
Gu Man took a shower and felt comfortable all over. She finally felt more refreshed.
How wonderful it would be if those foul things hadn’t happened on the weekend morning!
She caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing. It was the black trench coat.
She had almost forgotten that she had borrowed his clothes.
Gu Man took out a business card from her pocket.
Xiang Yin.
And his contact details.
There was no other introduction. How concise!
Gu Man still did not know that in Han City, there was almost no need for anyone to introduce Xiang Yin.
Others might not know what position he had, but as long as they knew that he was the Second Young Master of the Han City’s Xiang Family, there was no need to explain anything. 1
Gu Man sent a message according to the number on it. “I’m Gu Man. I’ll return the clothes tomorrow night. Thank you!”
Gu Man was about to dry her hair when her phone rang.
He replied instantly!
“Okay!” The message was concise.
Just as Gu Man put down her phone, it rang again. It was a message from Xiang Yin.
This time, the message was longer. “Bring more clothes next time you’re outside!”
Gu Man did not reply.
When she dried her hair, there were two unread messages on her phone.
It was from Xiang Yin.
“Don’t be angry because of those people from the Gu family!”
“Eat more and eat more nourishing food!”
Gu Man felt a row of black lines fall from her head.
Please, I don’t know you well!
However, this could be considered a form of concern.
Gu Man replied politely, “Thank you!” 1
After sending it for a while, Xiang Yin sent another message. “I’m telling the truth. Don’t think I’m joking!” 3
Gu Man thought to herself, I don’t think you’re joking, but is it really good to be so enthusiastic?
“I feel a motherly concern!” Gu Man replied, feeling like she was pulling a prank.
Xiang Yin’s lips twitched as he looked at the word “motherly”. 1
Was she reminding him that he was being too wishy-washy?
She was really ungrateful.
Bai Yun looked at Xiang Yin’s face and leaned over to take a look.
She burst out laughing. 2
“Hahaha, Xiang Family’s Second Young Master, you have the feel of a mother!” The cold Xiang Yin and this temperament were completely unrelated.
But at this moment, someone actually said such things to him.
It was huge news. He really wanted to know what Xiang Yin had sent.
He, even more, wanted to know who had the guts to reply to Xiang Yin like this.
But when he saw Xiang Yin’s cold eyes, he instantly stopped laughing. “Who sent the message?”
Xiang Yin stood up and looked down. “Stop being a busybody!”
Bai Yun was discouraged. “How petty!”
It was not easy for him to meet someone who had the guts to tease Xiang Yin, but Xiang Yin was still not angry.
He really wanted to know who it was!
Bai Yun suddenly thought of Gu Man’s calm face. “Could it be that girl from the Gu family, Gu Man?”
Xiang Yin remained silent.
Then it was a tacit yes.
Bai Yun immediately revealed her true nature. “Xiang Family’s Second Young Master, you don’t really like Gu Man, do you? But that girl should suit your taste. She’s calm and she’s ruthless enough!”
“Are you praising her or me?”
Xiang Yin was thinking about whether it was really appropriate to use the word ‘ruthless’ to describe a girl.
“You saw it too. If she wasn’t so ruthless, she would have drowned. Of course, I’m praising her for being ruthless!” Bai Yun said solemnly.
It was better to praise someone that Xiang Yun valued instead of insulting them.
Because he knew that Xiang Yin had a bad habit of being extremely protective! 2
“I have to care! Look at that painting!” At this moment, they were in Xiang Yin’s study.
An ancient painting called The Girl in Divination hung in the middle of the study.
...
This painting was hundreds of years old. He had spent a lot of effort buying it from the antique market. 3
The girl in the painting was sitting at the table, her head slightly lowered, her eyes focused. She was divining. 1
“They’re really too similar!” Last night, the lights were not clear at night, but when he looked again this morning, it was really almost the same person. 1
“How can there be such a strange thing?” Bai Yun asked in surprise.
“Hurry up and investigate the Gu Family!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you the accurate information in two days.” Bai Yun put away his sloppy mannerisms and was rarely serious.
“As for this painting and Gu Man, I’ll investigate them myself!” Xiang Yin looked at the painting on the wall.
