Her mother's words made Gu Yao's heart palpitate violently. Although her family's life was not very wealthy, she was really happy and happy, the kind of small happiness that ordinary people have.
"Okay, Mom, my dad just has this little hobby, so you can let him go. Anyway, there's nothing to do at home, so just let him play. Besides, my dad probably knows that you will be with me in the afternoon, so he
If he goes to play chess, don't blame him." Gu Yao acted like a baby next to her mother.
Yao Meilan looked at her daughter. No matter how much she grew up, she was still a child in her eyes. "You, just favor him. Okay, don't argue with his old man. Just wait for me and I'll go change clothes."
, and then we go to the market.”
"Well..." Gu Yao nodded happily.
When she and her mother went out, Gu Yao held her mother's arm and walked towards the market when she suddenly heard someone calling her not far away.
"Gu Yao?"
Hearing the sound, Gu Yao and her mother stopped and turned around to look in the direction of the sound.
Looking at the man who was similar to her own age not far away, Gu Yao felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't name him, and she couldn't seem to remember it in her mind.
"Gu Yao, it's really you." Qi Shaoheng confirmed that he had read correctly, took two more steps forward, and stood still in front of Gu Yao.
"Shaoheng?" Yao Meilan finally recognized Qi Shaoheng, the neighbor's child on the building above.
"Qi Shaoheng?" Gu Yao also remembered it now.
"Hello, aunt." Qi Shaoheng greeted Yao Meilan first, then looked at Gu Yao and said, "I thought you couldn't remember."
Gu Yao then smiled and said to Qi Shaoheng, "Sorry, I really didn't recognize him just now."
"It's okay, it's okay." Qi Shaoheng said quickly, "I didn't expect to meet you in the community today. I was really unsure at first."
Gu Yao nodded and then asked, "You, now..."
Qi Shaoheng was his classmate in elementary school and junior high school. Since his family lived in the same building, he was considered a child. After the high school entrance examination, Qi Shaoheng went to the Provincial Key No. 4 Middle School, and he went to the Provincial Key No. 1 Middle School, and then he had less contact.
, I met his family when I just graduated from college, and heard that he went to study abroad. Then, I haven’t seen him for so many years, and I don’t know his situation.
"I just came back from abroad three months ago. Now I have founded an IT company and it is basically operating stably." Qi Shaoheng knew that Gu Yao's unfinished words were asking about his current situation, so he told her without any concealment.
"Not bad, Shao Heng, he started his own business." Yao Meilan looked at this outstanding child from the side. He has always studied very well. Many people in the community praised this child of the Qi family. Now that he has returned from school, in the eyes of others
, he is the pride of his parents.
"It's okay, Auntie," Qi Shaoheng said to Yao Meilan politely, "I just want to have my own career, work hard, and make money to support my family."
Yao Meilan nodded, then asked with a smile, "Shaoheng, are you married now?"
"No, auntie, I was busy studying abroad before and didn't have time to talk about my girlfriend. Now I'm back. I was busy with the new company some time ago. But as soon as I had some free time recently, my mother and my aunt started to organize it.
You have introduced me to someone." Qi Shaoheng told the truth and his frank manner made Yao Meilan have a good impression of this junior.
Yao Meilan smiled and said no more.
Seeing that Yao Meilan had no intention of speaking, Qi Shaoheng looked at Gu Yao and followed the topic and asked, "Gu Yao, are you... married?"
Gu Yao smiled slightly, shook her head, and signaled to answer Qi Shaoheng.
Hearing Gu Yao say that he was not married, Qi Shaoheng felt inexplicably happy. After thinking about it, he looked at Gu Yao with pleading eyes and asked in a gentle voice, "We finally met, are you free tonight?"
Let’s have a meal together and chat.”
Gu Yao was a little surprised when she heard Qi Shaoheng's request, but thinking about it, she might have refused because Song Jingye would be angry if she went back too late after dinner.
Qi Shaoheng saw Gu Yao hesitating. Before Gu Yao could say anything, Qi Shaoheng continued, "You see, we haven't seen each other for a long time. We didn't know much about you since we stopped going to school together in high school, and I just came back."
Soon, I wanted to inquire about our former classmates, so... let's have a meal and chat, and maybe we can help each other in the future."
Yao Meilan saw the sincerity in Qi Shaoheng's eyes, and now she also helped Qi Shaoheng as a lobbyist, and said to her daughter, "Yao Yao, then go have a meal with Shao Heng!"
Gu Yao looked at her mother, then at Qi Shaoheng, feeling that she couldn't bear to refuse.
"Well, okay, can we have dinner earlier? I'm staying at a friend's house recently, and it's a bit inconvenient to go back too late after dinner." Gu Yao said, she was starting to worry at this moment, and she agreed to go with him.
Qi Shaoheng went to eat. Song Jingye hadn't asked for permission yet. I wonder if he would agree?
"Okay, okay, that's no problem. You tell us what time we're going to eat, and we'll go." Qi Shaoheng handed over all decisions to Gu Yao.
Gu Yao thought for a moment and then said, "Let's set off at five o'clock and start dinner at six o'clock. You can choose the restaurant, a mid-range one will be fine. I don't have any requirements."
Gu Yao thought that it would be around eight o'clock after dinner, and it would not be a big problem if she could buy some time from Song Jingye then.
"Okay, let's save each other's mobile phone numbers and contact you later," Qi Shaoheng said.
Then the two of them saved each other's numbers. Gu Yao and Yao Meilan said goodbye to Qi Shaoheng before continuing to walk to the market.
After returning home from visiting the market with her mother, Gu Yao stayed with her mother for a while. She didn't go to her room to call Song Jingye until she was about to go out at 4:50.
"What's wrong?" Song Jingye answered the phone and asked. He left home angrily in the morning. There was no news from this woman all day long. It would be a lie not to miss her. Now that he would receive a call from this woman, he felt indescribably happy.
"I may go back later today and won't have dinner at home. If you go back, just tell Wang Ma and prepare dinner for you alone." Gu Yao said, her voice was very soft, with a hint of inquiry.
.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and just when Gu Yao became nervous, Song Jingye said, "Well, I also have a dinner party tonight, and I won't be eating at home. You should come back early after dinner."
Song Jingye thought, Yaoyao probably came home late because she wanted to have dinner with her parents, so how could she stop him? She finally went home, so let her spend more time with her parents. If she was right
If she said that she would stay at home tonight and not go back to Yujingyuan, she might agree. (To be continued)
