Chapter 2097: Twin Sister vs Socialite Sister (Part 25)

The man stood behind Gu Shengyin and didn’t follow.

Firstly, he hadn’t figured out Gu Shengyin’s background, and secondly...

His hands, which ached slightly, were reminding him that if he didn’t use firearms, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep her there.

Using firearms in broad daylight in the Imperial Capital, even if the man had some influence, he wouldn’t dare do such a thing.

That night, Xu Zhiyao received a call from the man.

"A girl who looks exactly like me?" Xu Zhiyao didn’t look pleased.

She snorted, "Why, are you interested in her?"

The man’s voice was deep and as sensual as always, "How could I be? That woman looks like someone who is indifferent to desires, how could she compare to my little wild cat?"

Such sweet talk had no effect on Xu Zhiyao.

She said, "Cut the act, that woman is my sister, a well-known academic star and good girl. She’s not in the same league as us."

She made it very clear that the man shouldn’t set his sights on Xu Zhiyan.

Of course, don’t think that Xu Zhiyao was doing this for Gu Shengyin’s sake, not wanting her to be targeted.

She was only saying this because Xu Zhiyao hadn’t yet grown tired of that man.

She considered this man to be within her own territory and naturally couldn’t stand him being attracted to Gu Shengyin.

If that happened, wouldn’t it indirectly prove that Xu Zhiyao was less than Xu Zhiyan?

Such a thing, she absolutely would not allow it to happen!

The man seemed to understand her implication and didn’t continue the topic.

But what he was really thinking, no one else could know.

The next day.

Gu Shengyin received a message from Xiao Cheng early in the morning.

He had already set the time and place completely.

"Mom, I’m going out to have some fun, I won’t have lunch with you."

Mother Xu was a bit surprised, "Where are you going by yourself?"

Gu Shengyin smiled, "I have a friend I know well online in the Imperial Capital."

Upon hearing this, Mother Xu was a bit uneasy, "An online friend? Could it be a scam?"

Gu Shengyin had to reassure her, "Don’t worry, Mom, we’re meeting in a crowded place, and I bet she’s also worried I might be a bad person."

She told a little lie, fearing that otherwise, Mother Xu wouldn’t dare to let her go alone.

Even so, Mother Xu was still uneasy, insisting on going with her.

Gu Shengyin sighed as she waved her phone, "I’ll update you constantly, okay? If you’re there, my friend might get nervous."

Seeing her daughter’s insistence, Mother Xu had no choice but to relent.

As Gu Shengyin headed out, she still couldn’t help but remind, "Remember to call me!"

...

The pair had agreed to meet at eleven, but Xiao Cheng arrived at the place before ten.

Last night, he called Chu Ming incessantly, nearly driving him insane, "I tell you, Xiao Cheng the Great! Stop asking me for tips and strategies! The girl’s already made her feelings clear, just be a bit more attentive today and talk a bit more, use your skills like you do with clients! As long as you don’t mess up, this will definitely work out!"

He was still a bit uneasy.

He got up early to groom himself for a good half-day, ensuring every strand of hair was in its rightful place before finally being satisfied.

When he went out, the old man who was watching Peking opera on the sofa turned his head to glance at his grandson a few times.

"Where are you going?"

In front of this veteran who had been on the battlefield, Xiao Cheng always maintained a serious face and rarely hid anything.

He instinctively replied, "Going to meet your future granddaughter-in-law!"
