Lin Gantang thought the food at this place was quite good, and seeing that Wen Yanqing had a good appetite, she guessed he must like it too. She said, âThe restaurant Shi Jun recommended is pretty good. Next time, ask him if there are any other nice places, and Iâll go with you.â
âHe recommended a few bars to me, how about going for a drink tonight?â
âNo way.â She was trying to conceive and couldnât drink alcohol: âDidnât you tell me not to go to bars for drinks?â
âIf Iâm with you, of course you can drink.â
Lin Gantang didnât tell him that drinking would affect her chances of conceiving. She found a perfectly sound reason and said, very seriously, âYouâre recovering and shouldnât drink, so donât even think about going to bars.â
Wen Yanqing expressed his disappointment.
Lin Gantang looked at her fingers, which had gotten dirty from eating, and said, âYou sit for a while, Iâll go wash my hands and be right back.â
After speaking, she hurried off to the restroom, thinking to return quickly.
Lin Gantang didnât expect to bump into Mrs. Gu in the restroom.
Mrs. Gu was talking to a woman in purple clothes, about the same age as her, and didnât notice someone had come in.
Lin Gantang went to the opposite sink, intending to wash her hands quickly and leave, not wanting to deal with her.
âDonât choose a Japanese restaurant next time. People of our status should go to places like Western restaurants that are a bit more upscale,â Mrs. Gu complained while washing her hands: âAnyone can come in here, it lowers our class.â
The woman with her said, âWhatâs the fun in eating Western food all the time? I heard that many of C Cityâs political and business celebrities have frequented this place, and it has some fame.â
âAh, Iâve tried it, and itâs just okay,â Mrs. Gu said, curling her fingers delicately as she pulled out a piece of tissue to wipe her hands slowly: âWhat celebrities? Do you think whatever they pick is good? Look at Qin Jiayaoâs engagement banquet the other day, oh my, talking about her choice of fiance.â
âJi You is not bad, right? He works in the government, young and promising.â
But Mrs. Gu dismissed him: âWhatâs that worth, his small salary? Ji You doesnât make money like my son, nor is he as handsome as my son. Before, I thought about approaching the Qin family, and they actually looked down on us. Ha, I thought Qin Jiayao would choose someone really outstanding. I didnât expect her fiance to be like that.â
âYour son is indeed handsome, but why did he leave so quickly? I wanted to chat with him a bit more,â the woman asked.
âHeâs busy, you know, the family company relies on him to manage,â Mrs. Gu was embarrassed to admit that Gu Zhichuan had been tricked into coming, and when he realized he had been fooled, of course, he didnât want to stay long.
Not showing his displeasure in front of strangers was already giving face to her as his mother.
Mrs. Gu was worried about Gu Zhichuanâs marriage and pretended she had a headache while outside to get him to pick her up. Although Gu Zhichuan had disagreements with the family, he wasnât so heartless as to ignore his own mother.
But when he discovered that the other party had used familial affection as bait, it was no wonder he left angrily.
The woman, unaware of the situation, said, âThatâs a pity, I think your son is quite good. My daughter might like him.â
âIâll give you his mobile number, and you can have your daughter add him later,â Mrs. Gu said with delight upon hearing a prospect: âLetâs let them talk, and maybe theyâll hit it off.â
Lin Gantang washed her hands and left directly, no longer listening to their conversation.
She also settled the bill on the way back and returned to her seat: âAll set, letâs go, baby.â
But when they approached the door, there was Mrs. Gu again, saying goodbye to the purple-clad woman.
Lin Gantang ignored her, holding onto Wen Yanqing as they left.
However, Mrs. Gu saw her this time, rolled her eyes at her, and said with a sneer, âAfter splitting with Zhichuan, sheâs clinging to a blind man, tsk! She must be after his money, such a materialistic woman, thankfully she never became part of our family.â
But Lin Gantang had already walked far away and didnât hear it, otherwise, she wouldnât have let Mrs. Gu spout such nonsense..
