Chapter 523: Why Was She Doing This?

“Qingjiu, you two know each other?”

Qin w.a.n.ge gazed at Ye Henyu and Gu Qingjiu in astonishment, clearly surprised that the two of them were acquainted.

“Sister w.a.n.ge, how is it possible for you to know her?”

Ye Henyu also managed to react.

Everyone else looked confused.

Qin w.a.n.ge glanced at Gu Qingjiu, momentarily looking like she was in a difficult position.

She seemed to have difficulties. But then she looked towards Ye Henyu and shook her head imperceptibly.

Gu Qingjiu also realized that Ye Henyu was that young master at the Chief Instructor’s dinner at that time.

It seems like he had quite a high status. And now, he was even addressing Qin w.a.n.ge so affectionately as

Sister w.a.n.ge.

Back then, her older brother never told her about Qin w.a.n.ge’s ident.i.ty.

Could it be that…?

The meticulous Gu Qingjiu understood something at that moment.

However, though she knew it in her heart, she didn’t show it on the surface.

Qi Yuefeng seemed astonished. “w.a.n.ge, is this your friend?”

After Qin w.a.n.ge had shot him that look, Ye Henyu understood what was going on.

He glanced at Qin w.a.n.ge and Gu Qingjiu with a weird expression, then left without saying anything.

His female companion held onto Ye Henyu in a docile manner, and she wasn’t even particularly striking.

Qin w.a.n.ge turned around and looked apologetic for Ye Henyu’s rude behavior just then. “Auntie, he is a kid in my uncle’s family.”

She then looked towards Gu Qingjiu and cautiously asked, “Qingjiu, how did you become acquainted with Henyu?”

Gu Qingjiu’s heart skipped a beat. She smiled and put it vaguely by saying, “Met him at dinner because of a superior. Not familiar with him.”

“Oh, really?”

Qin w.a.n.ge nodded and seemed enlightened, but she could tell that Gu Qingjiu wasn’t being completely truthful.

But she was gripped by unease about her situation.

Only Qi Yuefeng was kept in the dark. Simply taking her daughter and her future daughter-in-law’s word for it, she didn’t ask any further questions.

But following that, Gu Qingjiu could tell that Qin w.a.n.ge felt uneasy.

She would turn her head towards Gu Qingjiu from time to time.

Gu Qingjiu also understood that perhaps Qin w.a.n.ge already knew that Gu Qingjiu had guessed that her family’s situation wasn’t normal.

When they started dating back then, although Gu Qingmo never explicitly told her about Qin w.a.n.ge’s family background. She had the impression that Qin w.a.n.ge came from an ordinary family.

Else she wouldn’t be holding a job like him.

But…

Even if she wasn’t familiar with Ye Henyu, she witnessed Ye Henyu’s att.i.tude towards her earlier on.

Other than showing some respect towards He Niancheng and Huo Yingcheng, he was the center of the other rich guys.

Moreover, with his arrogant temper, it was unlikely that a person like him would bother to deal with ordinary folks.

The way he called Qin w.a.n.ge sounded like he was addressing a senior with whom he had pretty good ties.

After figuring out this stuff, although Gu Qingjiu didn’t have an opinion of Qin w.a.n.ge as a person, she was slightly baffled.

No wonder Gu Qingjiu thought that Qin w.a.n.ge looked like a rich miss the first time they met, for she exuded an elegant and n.o.ble air that differentiated her from ordinary people.

From the looks of it, she kept her family matters from her older brother.

But why was she doing this?
