Ji Mingyue looked up. It was her good friend, Gu Qingyao!
She was delighted. “Yao Yao!”
Her tone was one of astonishment, followed by a trace of piteousness. “Yao Yao, it’s great that you’re finally back!”
As Ji Mingyue spoke, she ran forward to hug Gu Qingyao.
Gu Qingyao embraced her. “I’m back. I’ve finished my studies, and I’m back now. How have you been, all these years?”
When she said that, Ji Mingyue’s eyes shimmered with tears. She had not been doing well all these years. Not well at all!
She felt that she was so unlucky!
But this was not the place to talk, so Ji Mingyue did not say anything for the moment.
“I’m all right. When I found out that you were back, I wanted to come back to the capital to see you. But my grandma suddenly fell ill, so I had to stay there to take care of her. Grandma is fine now. I spent the new year with them and then found time to come back. I didn’t expect to run into you the moment I returned!”
Gu Qingyao frowned. The Ji Mingyue in front of her looked rather hesitant as if she had been through a lot.
The girl was three years older than her. She was twenty-eight now!
She was no longer a girl, but she was still a young woman and should be at the height of her beauty. Why was she in this state?
In her previous life, Ji Mingyue had been harassed by Zhang Qiang and had an unhappy marriage. In this life, Mo Beihan had dealt with Zhang Qiang!
Gu Qingyao laughed. “It’s all right, it’s great that you’re back. If I had known that Grandma Ji was ill, I would have visited you at the provincial capital and seen Grandma Ji as well.”
Grandfather and Grandma Ji were very good to her when she was staying in the provincial capital. Grandfather Ji had even taught her for a while!
They were old friends of her teacher, Jiang Yiru. Although Gu Qingyao had been away from China for a long time, she still had a deep respect for these old folks.
Ji Mingyue held Gu Qingyao’s hand and smiled, her eyes red.
“Don’t worry. Grandma is just getting old. It’s cold now, and it’s easy to fall ill. I’ve been taking care of them over there. She’s fine now!”
Gu Qingyao nodded. “That’s great!”
“Do you have errands to run? It’s so cold, your face is all red. I’ll send you home!”
Of course, Ji Mingyue wanted to go home. She had finished her errands.
Meanwhile, Bai Chi had been staring at Gu Qingyao ever since she appeared. He had not said anything, but when he saw that this pretty girl was about to leave, he immediately tried to stop her.
“Wait!”
He looked at Gu Qingyao. Although he was blocking her, his tone was not harsh and arrogant, unlike the tone he used with Ji Mingyue. He was much more gentle and polite towards Gu Qingyao.
“Hello, I’m Bai Chi. May I know who you are?”
Gu Qingyao had not expected this fellow to be harassing Ji Mingyue.
This was no stranger. He was Bai Youran’s Second Cousin.
The most useless member of the Bai family.
She once said there were no geniuses among the sons and grandsons of the Bai family, but there were no idiots either. Although this Bai Chi was useless, he was slightly better than those really degenerate playboys in the capital.
Bai Chi was the least successful of the Bai brothers and also the most degenerate!
He had countless women. He was so young, but he looked so dissipated.
He had a boyish look, so although he was actually in his thirties, he looked like he was in his twenties.
Also, Gu Qingyao knew that this fellow had a child and was divorced!
Gu Qingyao looked very cold. “Let me pass!”
