Hearing this, Helian Qingchen raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips became even more pronounced.
Gu Cheng did not see Helian Qingchen’s expression.
After saying this, he stepped onto the Land Rover that was parked at the side, and even his back looked very cool.
“Go.”
Gu Cheng gave the order to the driver, but from the corner of his eyes, he looked at Ajiu who was standing not far away.
He originally wanted to stand up for his cousin.
But seeing the little bean, he knew that there was no way he could make a move on her.
No wonder Bai Zhun didn’t pick a fight with Helian Qingchen.
Because the little bean’s behavior was too obvious. It was as if she was protecting that person, so no one can harm him.
Gu Cheng clenched his hands, feeling more and more irritated.
This little bean, how could she have such poor taste!
The old driver seemed to have noticed his young master’s displeasure and didn’t say a word throughout the journey.
The Bai family’s decorations were almost done and the hall was big enough. There was a row of dining tables, but the flowers on them hadn’t arrived yet.
There was even a grill set up in the courtyard. This was probably because they had hired a halal chef to roast the whole lamb in the courtyard.
There was also a pile of wood and various cutlery. Each set was wrapped with special items and looked very elegant.
When Gu Cheng entered, he saw Gu Rou instructing the servants to make some minor adjustments. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Sis, you haven’t married yet and you’re already so enthusiastic.”
“What are you talking about?” Gu Rou covered his mouth with her hand and looked around nervously.
Gu Cheng looked at her and frowned. “What kind of reaction is that? What are you feeling guilty about?”
“You’re the one feeling guilty.” Gu Rou saw that there was no one around, so she heaved a sigh of relief. She reached out and took his car keys. “I’m going to pick someone up from school right now and I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Go and change your clothes too. You can’t go to the birthday party like this in the afternoon.”
Gu Cheng smiled. “Anyway, I’m not the main character. By the way, where’s the campus beau Bai Zhun? Why isn’t he here? Honestly, sis, you guys should be good to a certain extent by now, right?”
When Gu Rou heard this, her fingers clenched tightly.
No matter how hard she knocked on the door last night, Bai Zhun did not let her in. He was so cold that he told her to get lost. Even when the doctor came and wanted her to bring him ginger water.
He even asked Auntie Wang to pour out all the ginger water that she had boiled. It was clear that he was not giving her any face.
When he was sick, he did not forget to ask Ajiu if she had come back.
Today, when he heard that there was a purple Jade Buddha’s head, he brought Vice Commander Zhang out of the door. He did not even look at her, who was helping to set up the place.
She was helping the Bai family so much. He really could not feel her at all, okay?
Gu Rou recalled that when the two of them first met, it was Bai Zhun who was discussing business with her grandfather.
Her grandfather had also said that their schools were close to each other, so he wanted them to move around more.
But Bai Zhun had refused at that time.
He said, “I usually have to take care of my sister, so I don’t have time. I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint Grandfather Gu.”
Grandfather smiled and didn’t say anything, but he encouraged her from the side to take more initiative.
At that time, she was still angry, thinking that this Bai Zhun was really arrogant.
But for some reason, the more she looked at him, the better she felt.
This was probably a realization that only came after she fell in love with someone.
Even if that person didn’t like her, she had to work hard to get him!
“Sister? Sister, I’m asking you a question.” Gu Cheng dragged out his tone.
Gu Rou didn’t answer directly, “For so many things, when did you become so nosy? Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to go to the school to pick them up quickly, and then we’ll go get the gifts together.”
Yes, they had to follow her steps.
Bai Zhun could reject her once, twice… he couldn’t reject her a third time.
Moreover, at the birthday party, there was one thing that he had always wanted, and he definitely wouldn’t reject it.
Gu Rou smiled at the thought of this. She sweetly called Old Master Gu and confirmed once again, “Grandpa, do you really want me to hand that thing over to Bai Zhun?”
“Who else can I hand it to besides you? Don’t worry, that child Bai Zhun will like this gift. Even if you don’t give it to him, I have to give it to him.” Grandfather Gu held the pen and laughed softly, “I’ve already asked the secretary to prepare the thing and signed it. When Bai Zhun finishes cutting the cake, you can hand it over to him. People will always want to see a beautiful couple.”
“Grandpa!” Gu Rou opened the car door and called out reluctantly.
Old Master Gu chuckled. “Alright, alright, alright. I won’t say it anymore. I won’t say it anymore. Why are you still so shy?”
Gu Rou spoke a few more words with old master Gu before she ended the call.
She sat in the car and looked down at her phone.
At the birthday party, when she gave this gift away, Ajiu should understand the difference between her and herself.
In the end, she was just a child from the mountains. If she had been the little princess of the Bai family, she would not have hated her so much.
But she had to be in the way.
Gu Rou tightened her left hand and laughed again.
The Bai family was not a match for an orphan girl..
The scenery outside the car window retreated quickly.
On the mountain road leading to the suburbs, Bai Zhun sat at the back of the car. The eye of the needle from yesterday was still on the back of his hand. His throat hurt so much that even his nasal voice was heavy. “Take a shortcut.”
“Young master.” Vice Commander Zhang sat in the passenger seat and said worriedly, “Your health is not good, and there will be a banquet in the afternoon. Why don’t I order the things first, and we will come back to pick them up another day.”
Bai Zhun coughed heavily twice, and his side profile remained handsome and indifferent. “We will pick them up today. There’s news from Old Xu. There are other people who want this purple Jade Buddha’s head.”
Vice Commander Zhang opened his mouth. Finally, he could not help but ask, “Young master has bought quite a number of Jade Buddhas for miss. Actually, it doesn’t matter if there are one or two missing, right?”
“She has been in a bad mood recently.” Bai Zhun turned his gaze over. “The Purple Jade Buddha’s head is different from the others. It contains a relic of an accomplished monk. Legend has it that it fell from Mount Tianmi. It can protect people from the disturbance of the mortal world and protect people from all things. It’s very suitable for Ajiu to wear.”
Vice Commander Zhang did not continue to persuade him after hearing this.
Because only he knew that the young master did not take a fancy to this Purple Jade Buddha’s head these few days. A long time ago, the young master had sought out many people to buy this Purple Jade Buddha’s head. In the end, it was Old Master Gu who pulled the strings, only then did he obtain the whereabouts of this Buddha’s head.
It was indeed impossible to persuade the young master to give up now.
If it wasn’t for the news of the Buddha’s head in Old Master Gu’s hands that day, the young master probably wouldn’t have agreed to go shopping with anyone.
He could tell that the young master wasn’t happy at that time.
But even the young master at that time didn’t look as lonely as he did now..
