Chapter 636: Why I Came to China
“Back then, I had wondered what kind of girl would it be, for my son who never once looked at a girl since young, to desire to stay in China and be reluctant to come back.”
When Hilda said these words, she even cast a glance towards Helian Niancheng.
Gu Qingjiu was about to speak when Helian Niancheng helped her get a plate and spoke up. “You know very well why I chose not to go back.”
He spoke in English.
Gu Qingjiu very rarely heard Helian Niancheng speak in English. When he spoke in English, he sounded even more elegant and full of charisma.
Some people were born flawless.
Helian Niancheng’s words made the atmosphere turn a little stiff. However, Hilda didn’t seem to mind, and she turned to look at Gu Qingjiu. “I heard you even joined your university’s Shooting Department. Also, you’re going to take part in international competitions in the future?”
“Probably.”
Gu Qingjiu wasn’t so confident now.
After all, she hadn’t yet recovered from her arm injury.
But she could sense that there weren’t any repercussions from her injury.
“What a wonderful young lady.”
Hilda’s praise made Gu Qingjiu feel rather shy.
She poured a glass of freshly-squeezed fruit juice for Gu Qingjiu, then took a sip of her red wine and said in English, “I’ll be heading to your aunt’s later. I’ll be staying in China for a while. Your father hopes that when the time comes, you can go back with me to visit your Uncle Herman.”
“No.”
Helian Niancheng refused straightforwardly.
Hilda set down her wine glass. Her actions were swift and decisive yet allowed her to retain her noble air. It made one feel that she looked beautiful no matter what she did.
“You can’t be stubborn. Even if you feel that you’ve done nothing wrong, you have to apologize at least. You’ve caused too great a damage to your Uncle Herman.”
When she said this, she sounded incredibly imposing.
Watching as this mother-and-son duo become confrontational after a few words, Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt a bleak future ahead of her.
The same thing happened when Helian Niancheng met his aunt previously; they had gotten into an argument after a short exchange.
Helian Niancheng didn’t seem like the sort who was fond of being nagged at, but when he spoke, he indeed could anger the other party.
Helian Niancheng’s cold eyes turned increasingly icy as he kept quiet.
Hilda’s lips curled into a smile once more, as though nothing had happened. “I’ll be staying in the capital for some time. Qingjiu, do you have time to keep me company?”
“I...”
“She’s not free.”
Helian Niancheng held Gu Qingjiu’s shoulder and said, “I won’t let her keep you company. The person you ought to look for is Aunt.”
“Wow. Your behavior shocks me. You didn’t use to be like this.”
Hilda raised her wine glass and took a sip, then spread out her arms helplessly. “Ok, I won’t force you. I hope you can consider it.”
After that, Hilda got to her feet and revealed a vibrant smile at Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, I hope you can keep Auntie company next time.”
With that, she turned around and left with firm footsteps.
Gu Qingjiu only had time to wave and say goodbye. Honestly speaking, she was dumbfounded.
Helian Niancheng’s mother exceeded her expectations.
Gu Qingjiu turned her head after she left and asked softly, “Chief Instructor, what’s the matter with you and your mother?”
“Do you remember me telling you why I came to China?”
Helian Niancheng started recounting this incident, seeming as though he didn’t at all care.
