Chapter 238: Chapter 243 You Look So Familiar
Translator: 549690339 |
“If you keep staring at me like that, I’ll think you were love at first sight with me.” The man waggled his attractive peach-blossom eyes.
“I just think you look very familiar.” Gu Qjngxin truly believed this man was too narcissistic.
“Do you chat up all good-looking guys ?” The man stroked his chin as if in deep thought.
Gu Qingxin felt as though something might be off with her sight recently, she felt the woman in the photo looked familiar, and even a stranger seemed familiar.
“So, how do you suggest I show my gratitude?” Having narrowly escaped danger, Gu Qingxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Invite me out for dinner. Give me your number, and I’ll call you when I’m free.” The man pulled out his phone.
Gu Qingxin gave him her number. He dialed it, her phone rang, she picked up and asked, “What’s your name?”
“I’ll tell you the next time you take me out to eat. I have something urgent to deal with, so I’ll take my leave. Be careful by yourself.” The man turned and walked away.
As Gu Qingxin gazed at the man’s retreating figure, her brow furrowed tight. Suddenly, a thought flashed across her mind- he was the man she saved in the hospital bathroom last time!
By the time Gu Qingxin tried to confirm her suspicion, the man’s figure had already disappeared from the bustling streets ahead.
After visiting her mother at the hospital, Gu Qingxin happened to run into Bai Jingqing, who offered to give her a lift to the North Garden.
Gu Qingxin got into Bai Jingqing’s sports car.
Midway, Bai Qjanqian called but because Bai Jingqing was in the car, Gu Qingxin didn’t disclose to her about how YunCi and Peng Pan were conspiring against her.
“Dr. Bai, I didn’t realize you were Rui Qing’s elder brother. You two don’t look alike at all,” blurted out Gu Qingxin, remembering their relationship.
“Is that so? Everyone seems to think that.” Bai Jingqing smiled and glanced at her.
“But it’s strange. Qianqian has always had a crush on Rui Qjng and now that he’s finally back in the country and has confessed his feelings to her, they could have been a mutual crush. Why then did Qianqian suddenly say she can’t be with Rui Qjng?” Gu Qingxin couldn’t make sense of the situation. With Bai Ruiqing and Bai Jingqing being brothers, she couldn’t help but voice her thoughts.
“Oh? Is that so!” Bai Jingqing snorted in his mind, at least Qianqian knows her place.
“Indeed! Qianqian told me herself!” Gu Qingxin, oblivious to his hidden contempt, continued, “She said her family is not doing well and she doesn’t deserve Rui Qjng. Dr. Bai, do you think Rui Qjng would look down upon Qjanqian for her family situation?”
His brother wasn’t that kind of person. However, he would absolutely not allow the two of them to be together.
A woman who had already been to bed with him, being with his brother- what’s that all about?
What if one day, his brother found out, how would he view his big brother?!
“I thought so too. Actually, Qjanqian’s situation is not good at the moment either. Her father had a car accident, her mother fell sick and she has a pair of high school-aged siblings to take care of. Her family’s company has been taken over by relatives who force her to entertain clients. This is totally unfair! Last time, Qjanqian was almost taken advantage of by a despicable man. If it were not for the chance that Grandfather and I happened to be there, the consequences…”
Suddenly realizing she’s said too much, Gu Qjngxin turned to look at the man next to her, “I’m sorry, Dr. Bai.”
“It’s nothing!” Bai Jingqing creased his brow slightly. His hand, clutching the steering wheel, tightened. He was taken aback by how much trouble Bai Qjanqian seemed to be in..
