Chapter 429: You’re Someone I Care About

“You don’t sound convincing with that cheeky grin.”

He Niancheng didn’t believe her.

Gu Qingjiu’s smile froze.

She fell silent for a moment, then reiterated earnestly, “I really don’t find you too old!”

How could she find him too old when he was this handsome?

With this dog food shoved in her face, Helian Man suddenly felt that she was getting on in age as she watched them in silence.

Peering closely at this lass, she was indeed pretty and had exquisite features.

She had a tranquil and calm aura about her. Even though she wasn’t too striking when you place her in upper-class society, she still had a pleasant-looking face the longer one stared at her.

This nephew of hers had been single all these years, and she had no idea what sort of girl he fancied.

So it turned out, this was the type he liked.

Even though he hadn’t dated all these years and that his girlfriend seemed a little too young, Helian Man didn’t feel that her nephew was just fooling around. Wondering if this lass was aware of her nephew’s true identity, she suddenly felt like testing the waters.

With her nephew’s dashing good looks, she didn’t think that this girl was simply dating him because of his family background.

“Qingjiu, since you’re in the same school as Niancheng now, what’s your specialization?”

“Computer Science and Technology.”

Gu Qingjiu answered honestly.

“Oh…” She cast a meaningful glance at her nephew, who was standing by the sight and god knows what he was thinking. She asked with a smile, “Then how did you and Niancheng come to know each other?”


“Ah…”

Gu Qingjiu was about to reply when He Niancheng interjected. “Aunt, don’t you think you’re asking too many questions?”

Helian Man rebuked, “As your senior, so what if I’m asking questions? You may ignore your aunt, but how can you forbid me from asking your little girlfriend questions?”

“Of course I know what you’re trying to ask. You can stop. She has no idea.”

He Niancheng replied straightforwardly, “You can forget about making use of her. Even if Dad and the rest come to know about her, you’d better think of the consequences beforehand if anyone comes to look for her.”

His words were too heartless and cold, causing Helian Man’s expression to completely stiffen.

She instantly let go of Gu Qingjiu’s hand and stood up, looking worked up. “Why, do you think Aunt is going to do something that will harm you? I only wish to find out what sort of happiness you’re going after. Why would you think that way of me, your aunt?”

The atmosphere tensed up immediately.

Way too tense.

Gu Qingjiu saw He Niancheng merely gazing at Helian Man with his deep eyes, but he no longer said anything.

She pursed her lips, not knowing what to say next.

Placed in such a situation, she felt incredibly awkward.

She wanted to urge him but had no idea how to go about doing so, for she didn’t even know what was going on.

Helian Man seemed angered, for it slightly affected her elegant disposition.

Tear droplets glistened at the corners of her eyes as she turned around and left.

Gu Qingjiu opened her mouth, but before she could utter out a word, He Niancheng held her hand.

“Just leave her be, she came with bodyguards.”

Gu Qingjiu’s gaze flickered, looking perplexed. “She’s your aunt. Chief Instructor, why…”

“Some things are very complicated and can’t be explained with a few words. Especially for my family.”

Standing at the French windows of this suite, one could see the glamorous view of the city from there.

It was prosperous and vibrant, resplendent, and bright on the surface.

“You’re someone I care about. I don’t wish for you to get dragged into these matters.”
