Chapter 173 - Sowing Discord

Chapter 173: Sowing Discord

In the blink of an eye, it was Old Master Gu’s banquet.

The time was set for Friday night, so Qin Yiyi planned to go directly after school.

In the morning, she brought her clothes to school.

In the end, when she went to the bathroom after afternoon self-study class, she came back to find that the clothes placed in the desk had been cut in several places, leaving big holes.

They definitely couldn’t be worn again.

Lu Jinwan hadn’t left yet. She was very angry when she saw Qin Yiyi’s clothes on the desk.

“What kind of person is so wicked? How could he do this?”

She was even more anxious than Qin Yiyi. “Yiyi’s clothes must be very expensive. Are you going to participate in some kind of activity? What should we do now?”

As she spoke, she rummaged through her pockets.

In the end, she simply dumped her entire school bag on the desk.

“I still have a few hundred yuan here. It’s the pocket money that I usually save. Take it and quickly go out and hail a cab to buy another set?”

Qin Yiyi smiled and helped her stuff the things on the desk back into her school bag.

“Keep the money yourself. I still have clothes at home. I’ll just get someone to send a set for me.”

In fact, she really did not have to wear this set of clothes.

Previously, Gu Yulin had said that he had prepared clothes for her, but she felt that the clothes that Old Master Gu had prepared for her must be very luxurious and complicated.

So, she brought over a small gown that she had worn the last time.

The design was simple and the lines were smooth.

Qin Yiyi had worn it the last time and remembered that she liked it quite a lot.

She didn’t expect it to be remembered by someone…

“Then what are you going to do? Are you in a hurry to go home?”

Lu Jinwan carried her backpack and was a little worried for Qin Yiyi.

Just as Qin Yiyi was about to speak, her phone rang at the right time.

She looked at the caller ID and smiled at Lu Jinwan. “I have some clothes to change into. You don’t have to worry.”

She picked up the call.

Shang Jingheng’s gentle voice came from the phone.

“Are you out yet? I’ll wait for you at the school gate.”

“Wait for me. I’ll be there in five minutes.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yiyi smiled and raised her eyebrows.

“Let’s go?”

The two women walked out of the school gate side by side. Lu Jinwan looked at the car not far away and waved at Qin Yiyi with a smile.

“You go and do your work. I’ll leave first.”

“I’m a little in a hurry today. I won’t send you off. See you tomorrow.”

Qin Yiyi watched Lu Jinwan leave. She turned around and walked towards the car not far away.

The car door was opened.

Shang Jingheng’s slender figure appeared in front of her.

The noble and mysterious aura that seemed to be draped with a layer of golden gauze made Qin Yiyi laugh.

“You’d better not come to pick me up in the future. Look, the boys and girls at the school gate are all looking at you.”

“Then should I dress a little uglier next time?”

Shang Jingheng didn’t mind. His face looked like this; he wasn’t afraid of others looking at him!

Moreover, it’s not like he didn’t know that this girl had asked him to follow her at the first glance.

Wasn’t it because of his face?!

Thinking about it this way, he suddenly felt a faint sense of urgency in his heart.

In the future, would this girl find another good-looking person if his face didn’t look good?

No, no, he had to take good care of this face later on!

Qin Yiyi didn’t know that in just a moment, Shang Jingheng had already made plans in his heart for the next few years to take care of his skin and face!

The car drove forward.

Qin Yiyi looked at him with some curiosity.

“Didn’t you say that you won’t be coming back?”

Thus, Gu Yulin had happily sent her a few messages in a row previously.

There was only one meaning. Shang Jingheng wouldn’t be coming back. At least no one would snatch this job away from him.

In fact, Qin Yiyi wanted to tell him at the time that even if Shang Jingheng didn’t come, there would still be Shang Jingheng’s people by her side!

It wasn’t his turn yet!

However, Qin Yiyi felt that she was a good person, so how could she do something that would hurt others?

Look, didn’t this just make him fall in love for nothing?!

The banquet venue was directly arranged by Old Master Gu in one of the courtyards of his old residence.

The guests were all people with good personal relationships.

When Qin Yiyi came over, Gu Yulin ran over from afar.

“Yiyi, you’re here?”

His eyes were filled with resentment. “I was going to pick you up, but I lost to him in rock-paper-scissors.”

The corners of Qin Yiyi’s mouth twitched, and she turned to look at the indifferent-looking Shang Jingheng.

“You really played rock-paper-scissors with Gu-Er?”

“Yes.”

Shang Jingheng nodded, his voice calm.

“He felt that the only thing he could beat me at was rock-paper-scissors. I thought about it, and I felt that I shouldn’t let him be too confident.”

Gu Yulin,”…” It wasn’t just that he wasn’t confident now.

He was simply too sad and disappointed. There was no way to survive in life, alright?!

In his grandfather’s words, his IQ was inferior to others.

His ability was inferior to others.

Yet, he had lost in the game he was proud of!

Moreover, Gu Yulin instantly recalled the fact that Qin Yiyi was stronger than him during the mess last time.

He felt even more stifled.

Looking at the two people in front of him, his tone was faint.

“The two of you, tell the truth. Are you even human?”

Where did these demons come from?!

Otherwise, how could a teenage girl be stronger than him in every way?!

“What are you saying, brat? I asked you to pick up Yiyi. You are talking nonsense here. You deserve a beating.”

Before Qin Yiyi could speak, Old Master Gu, who was walking over from not far away, just happened to hear this. He raised his hand and slapped the back of Gu Yulin’s head.

“If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll beat you up!”

“Hehe, Grandpa, I was just joking with Yiyi! Joking…”

Old Master Gu was very speechless at his grandson’s silly smile. He reached out and pulled him aside.

“Come over, Yiyi. Grandpa will introduce you to a few people.”

“Okay, Grandpa Gu.”

Shang Jingheng followed him the entire time.

Old Master Gu pretended not to see him. He pulled Qin Yiyi to show his presence in front of his old friends.

“This is my granddaughter. Haha, my granddaughter is a straight-A student…”

“Oh right, you guys still don’t know, right? My granddaughter even took a professor from the capital as her teacher and learned to draw. She’s really talented…”

Looking at Old Master Gu’s appearance, he looked like he wished he could praise Qin Yiyi to the skies.

Gu Yulin didn’t feel jealous as he watched from the side.

After all, he liked Yiyi very much.

Moreover, Yiyi was really amazing.

She was much more capable and intelligent than him!

However, there were some people who were unhappy and quietly moved in front of Gu Yulin, “Second brother, look at what’s going on with grandfather. He keeps a girl from the outside by his side like a treasure or something. So all of us biological grandsons have become outsiders. The old master actually doesn’t even look at us.” The other party rolled his eyes. There was a hint of envy in her tone. “Second brother, you were grandfather’s favorite in the past. He kept you by his side from time to time. Now, grandfather actually threw you away for that girl. Second Brother, do you really not care at all?”

What he was thinking was, “Hurry up and make a fuss. Hurry up and make a fuss.”

When the time came, he would be able to reap the benefits!
