Chapter 300: Her Upbringing Wouldn’t Allow Her to Do Such a Thing
“Auntie, I didn’t mean to. Yin Manni told me, but I was busy with something at the time and forgot. I’m sorry.”
Gu Siyu scratched her head awkwardly; she looked incredibly cute.
“It’s alright, Manni told me you might have been busy.”
“Is your schoolwork very heavy lately?”
Zuo Ning seemed not to care at all, instead showing more concern for Gu Siyu’s well-being.
Everyone in the Yin family was very kind, which Gu Siyu hadn’t expected. From her understanding, the Yin family had considerable influence in official circles. A family like that, people would surely be arrogant, but now, Gu Siyu felt none of that, which indeed surprised her.
“Yu Yu, your Auntie Yin and Uncle Yin haven’t met you yet, and they insisted I bring you over for them to see. You won’t blame me, will you?”
Zuo Ning stated the purpose of the visit. Gu Siyu smiled and shook her head. Even if she wanted to blame her, could she?
Gu Siyu sat there, chatting with them until dinner was ready. The group then entered the restaurant and took their seats. Because Gu Siyu was exceptionally good at talking, she made everyone at the table laugh heartily.
After the meal, Mister Yin asked Yin Manni to take Gu Siyu for a stroll. He said that since she had entered the Bei Ming family’s door, she would definitely need to visit the Yin family often in the future. After all, the Yin family and the Bei Ming family were old friends.
The Yin family’s residence was quite spacious, but compared to the Bei Ming family’s, it was slightly inferior. Generally, officials couldn’t be too ostentatiously wealthy.
In the back garden, Yin Manni sat on a swing, gazing at the starry sky.
“Gu Siyu, can you tell me something?”
Yin Manni swayed on the swing and asked.
“I’ll try my best.”
After all, she couldn’t guarantee she could tell her everything.
“Brother Chen, what exactly do you like about you?”
What point? What exactly did Bei Ming Hao Chen like about her? Hmm, this was truly a difficult question; Gu Siyu herself didn’t know.
After a slight frown, Gu Siyu said, “Perhaps, you like every point about me?”
“Actually, Yin Manni, you are very outstanding. You’re beautiful and have a good family background. Apart from being a bit spoiled, there are almost no flaws. Moreover, for a girl, being spoiled can also be a good quality.”
Gu Siyu replied with a smile.
From beginning to end, she never truly felt that Yin Manni was bad, even though she had caused her trouble repeatedly, and even though she had doubted her several times before.
However, Bei Ming Hao Chen had told her that while Yin Manni had a bad temper, she would absolutely not do anything truly bad. She had moral boundaries in her actions. After all, a good family upbringing wouldn’t allow her to do anything out of line.
Gu Siyu thought, since Bei Ming Hao Chen trusted her so much, there must be a reason for it, right?
Therefore, Gu Siyu had never thought that Yin Manni was bad or anything like that.
“Thank you for praising me so much. But no matter how outstanding I am, if I can’t win Brother Chen’s heart, it’s all in vain.”
“I always thought that Brother Chen would only be mine in this life. After all, from childhood to adulthood, the only opposite-sex person closest to him was me.”
Gu Siyu smiled. Yes, Yin Manni was right. But so what? She appeared later but won Bei Ming Hao Chen’s complete heart.
That night, the two girls talked a lot. Gu Siyu also learned that night why Bei Ming Hao Chen trusted her so much.
It turned out that there were some people in this world who, just by listening to them speak a few words, would make you completely convinced.
