Chapter 47

Since Qi Zhen said it like that, naturally Lei Yunfei had to be tactful about it.

She quickly smiled to gain back her favor, “Qi Zhen, you think too much. I’m just saying it casually.”

To be honest, she was just curious.

Even though Gu Linzheng never expressed any interest in the girl from the Guan family, everyone could see that she was interested in Gu Linzheng. The reason for her being so determined to study abroad was to follow Gu Linzheng’s footsteps.

All the upper-class families in the imperial capital were impressed with the Guan family’s daughter’s excellence. As long as those families had daughters, she was used as an example.

It was a pity that Gu Linzheng would suddenly get married when she was abroad. No one expected this.

When she returned, there may be a gossip big enough to shock the entire imperial capital.

Everyone knew that the daughter-in-law of the Gu family was approved by Gu Tianhe. However, she was from a normal background with no influence or power and her personality was soft-spoken. If the two of them were to meet, there would be a good show to watch, right?

Lei Yunfei mentioned this because she had a good relationship with Qi Zhen. In fact, she was trying to imply that many people would be waiting for this good show to start.

***

Tang Chi breathe out a sigh of relief when she entered the bedroom.

It was fortunate that Gu Linzheng asked her to leave with him, otherwise it would be very awkward to face friends or relatives of the Gu family.

Gu Linzheng sat at his desk as soon as he came in. Tang Chi put down her backpack, thought for a while and asked, “That Aunt Lei is Mum’s best friend?”

Gu Linzheng was already flipping through a book that was on his desk and replied “Yes” carelessly.

“Oh.”

She was only curious and did not ask further.

This time, it was Gu Linzheng that looked up and glanced at her, “Tomorrow do you want to report to the training center? I already registered for you.”

“Really?”

The mention of this made Tang Chi’s eyes sparkled, “Okay, let’s go tomorrow.”

Gu Linzheng smiled slightly. With a slight flicker in his eyes, Tang Chi felt that this smile had a hidden meaning and she quickly restraint herself from behaving too excitedly.

She lowered her head and pulled out her phone to play. Aunt Lei was still out there. She was afraid to be dragged into a conversation by Qi Zhen. Even though she was outgoing, she was not used to chatting with them. She rather read some gossip news now that she had some time.

At this moment, Gu Linzheng’s phone rang.

Tang Chi looked at him unconsciously. Gu Linzheng naturally took out his phone and answered it. Tang Ci heard his soft voice saying, “Is there something wrong?”

Tang Chi thought it was someone from the office. After all, he was always busy with work. However, because the bedroom was too quiet, she could hear a woman’s voice speaking very loudly and lively.

Reporting on normal business matters would not require such a loud and lively tone of voice now, would it?

Tang Chi suddenly became curious and her ears uncontrollably turned sharp. Gu Linzheng noticed Tang Chi’s behavior. The corners of his mouth twitched slowly as he looked like he thought of something. He leaned back against his chair and his eyes were deep, “Gu Linye told you?”

He saw Tang Chi listening intently with her eyes staring at her own phone but with no movement of fingers sliding up or down or pressing any buttons for long. Obviously she was eavesdropping.

Gu Linzheng, “Yes, since you are back, you should go home. I have to deal with some business affairs here and I can’t leave.”

The woman said something else on the phone that made Gu Linzheng’s voice turned cold suddenly, “I’m married, Taoman. Can’t you understand without me spelling it out for you?”
