She didn’t have many memories with this bunch of classmates because there wasn’t much interaction between them.
But they have never treated her poorly as well.
They just weren’t the kind of people she would continue keeping in contact with.
But Zhong Xiaoxiao helped her a little when she joined the army, so there was no harm going for his sake.
She was not the same from the past.
Thinking about that, Gu Qingjiu replied.
[ —- Sure, where will the meeting be? ]
[ Zhong Xiaoxiao: You’re back? Oh my gosh, I thought that this number was no longer in use. It’s good that you’re coming. The place is Gu Yu Hotel, Room 302. It will be this Saturday at noon. Come earlier. Noon is the time we start eating. ]
Gu Yu Hotel was the only five-star hotel in the city. She had been there quite a few times with the chief instructor.
It was quite an expensive place, so to have organized the gathering at this place meant that this gathering was quite significant.
Usually, for such student gatherings, the people would split the cost. It couldn’t be that someone offered to pay for everyone, right?
Else, it wouldn’t be called a student gathering. She replied, once again.
[ —- How much do I need to pay you? E-transfer you? ]
[ Zhong Xiaoxiao: No need. Someone’s paying for it entirely, so you don’t have to pay. ]
That line stunned Gu Qingjiu.
She then chuckled softly. Sure, she would just go and take a look.
Saturday was two days later. Gu Qingjiu’s house was not far from Guyu Hotel, but it would take her over ten minutes to walk there. Under the sweltering heat, the ten minutes would make her sweat a lot. Gu Qingjiu raised her head and asked, “Mom, is anyone using Dad’s car on Saturday? I am going to drive to a student gathering.”
Gu Hong had a personal car, a BMW, which cost around three hundred thousand. When they bought it from a client with good ties, it was only approximately a hundred thousand.
Or Gu Hong wouldn’t buy such a car.
“If you were to drive that, what will your Dad drive on Saturday when he brings us out?”
Qi Yuefeng was troubled. “You’re going for a student gathering? We are also going out to your dad’s former classmate. If there’s no choice, you can take the bus.”
“…Isn’t there still Dad’s Rolls-Royce?”
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t help but laugh when she said that.
She was intentionally teasing Qi Yuefeng.
Qi Yuefeng rolled her eyes. “If we were to drive that there, we won’t even make it back. We will send you there.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “That works too.”
She asked curiously, “Where is your gathering at?”
“It’s far, all the way at North City. We are not sure what time we will be coming back, most probably on the second day. Make yourself some food at home.”
Gu Xiaoxi interrupted from the side. “Who will I be going with then?”
Qi Yuefeng cupped Gu Xiaoxi’s tiny face and smiled. “Of course you will be going with us. I’m worried your Sister Qingjiu will starve you since she cannot cook.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Who was her biological daughter!!
After discussion, Qi Yuefeng was still worried. “Qingjiu, we can’t accept the car. How about your dad talk to Niancheng to return it?”
“Mom, it’s not in my place to say. These are things you feel are expensive, but in the chief instructor’s eyes, maybe they are the same as any random watch that he wears. He doesn’t feel much for it. I don’t know what he will think if they returned it to him.”
