Chapter 251
Moments later, Shi Xuexin recognized who it was. It was Gu Jingyuan!
Both she and Shi Jin were five years younger than Gu Jingyuan.
When she was young, she stayed with Gu Jingyuan for two years, but not long after, Gu Jingyuan had gone overseas to study.
It was probably because the quality of teaching abroad was better.
Li Juekai and Gu Qingqing must have taken him away.
At that time, Shi Xuexin had felt a vague sense of discomfort.
The Li family had three children. Gu Jingyuan and Gu Zehan were boys, so they had a chance to study with their parents, but as a girl, she could only live with her grandfather in his hometown.
In the small town, it was not uncommon for people to favor boys over girls, and they would occasionally hear others mention it.
Shi Xuexin felt that she was a peripheral figure in the family.
Over time, she hated everyone, including Gu Jingyuan.
After returning to the Shi family, the Shi family treated her wholeheartedly. Only then did she realize that the difference in quality between families was too great. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Why is he here?" Shi Xuexin thought to herself.
She had had very little contact with Gu Jingyuan and did not understand his movements.
Especially after she returned to the Shi family, she had been very afraid that these messy people from the Li family would come looking for her and cause trouble for her. Hence, she had broken off contact with them on the grounds that her studies were too important.
Come to think of it, Gu Jingyuan was really born with good looks. His eyebrows were straight, and he was tall and had long legs. Not to mention the middle school students from Second High School, who had been working hard all year round could not catch up to him, there was probably no one in the entirety of Beijing University who could compare to him.
Because of this thought, Shi Xuexin did not mind restoring contact with Gu Jingyuan.
She was about to call Gu Jingyuan when she saw him walking towards a car with his car keys. The car was from an unknown brand. There was no logo on it. Although it was clean, it looked shabby.
At that thought, Shi Xuexin hurriedly turned her body to avoid being seen by Gu Jingyuan.
Ji Huan asked, "Xuexin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Nothing." Shi Xuexin paused for a moment. "I thought I had forgotten my phone in my office just now, but it's here."
She pulled her phone out of her bag.
As she spoke, Gu Jingyuan got into the car and lowered the car window.
Ji Huan smiled and said, "That's good. We're almost at the carpark. Let's go."
In the carpark, the Shi family's Rolls-Royce was parked neatly. The chauffeur was quietly waiting for Shi Xuexin.
Shi Xuexin quickly got into the car and said goodbye to Ji Huan. Then, she hurriedly closed the car window and said to the chauffeur, "Let's go quickly. I'm in a hurry."
Seeing that she was in a hurry, Ji Huan thought that she was busy with something and did not take it to heart.
Sitting in another car, Gu Jingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Shi Xuexin thought her actions were subtle, but he had seen everything. He had been waiting for Shi Jin and had gotten into the car because he had seen Shi Xuexin.
Previously, Gu Qingqing had vaguely said that this lady was quite thoughtful and lively. If she was on good terms with Shi Jin, the Li family might as well help her.
Gu Jingyuan understood what she meant.
If possible, he could lend her a hand. Still, he should not interact too much with her.
Gu Jingyuan recalled the time he had gone to look for Shi Xuexin and had given her a gift. She had looked happy on the surface, but a trace of hidden disdain involuntarily surfaced.
Shi Xuexin hated all of her relationships with the Li family.
Meanwhile, Shi Jin hadn't been disgusted at that time. It was just that she was upset that they had not come to pick her up in time to leave. She was upset that the sadness of living under someone else's roof was not understood.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingyuan felt a tinge of heartache and regret. Why hadn't he insisted on visiting Shi Jin?
He was lost in thought when someone knocked on the car window. He turned his head and saw Shi Jin's smiling face.
Gu Jingyuan pressed the button to unlock the car door. When Shi Jin got in, her gaze could not help but linger on the car.
There was no logo on the vehicle, but the paint used was world-class. It was like a pearl in the jewelry world; low-profile, gentle, and one could only appreciate its luxury by viewing it carefully.
It was unlike diamonds that could blind people at a glance.
The internal accessories were top-notch and could not be sold on the market.
"Brother, your car..." Shi Jin said.
Gu Jingyuan looked back at her calmly. "1dm?"
"It's nothing." Gu Jingyuan had already started the car. A slight pushing sensation could be felt. It was definitely the effect of an engine produced by a top company. "The steering on this is quite good."
"Yes, very good. If you like it, I'll give you your own car to play with someday?" Gu Jingyuan had waited for so long and finally got this chance.
He wanted to give Shi Jin a car. However, Shi Jin had not wanted any of the gifts that he had given her previously.
If it was a luxury car, he was afraid that Shi Jin would not want it. Hence, he racked his brains and tried all means and ways to get his friend to specially order a few cars. The materials and craftsmanship were all top-notch. They looked simple and unadorned, but whether it be in terms of control or safety, they were enough to conquer all car lovers.
The car had been parked in the garage for a long time. Gu Jingyuan could not think of a way to give it to Shi Jin even after racking his brains. He had not expected Shi Jin to personally bring up this topic.
Gu Jingyuan was so nervous that his palms were
sweating.
His younger sister... wouldn't reject him, right?
Shi Jin glanced at the steering wheel that Gu Jingyuan was holding. All the parts were custom- made, which meant that they were expensive. This car must cost at least eight figures.
Give her a car for fun? Wasn't the Li family just an ordinary and wealthy family now?
She remembered that in her previous life, Gu Jingyuan would only be able to rise up with their father after a few years.
Shi Jin tilted her head and asked after some deliberation, "Big Brother, what's the situation with the Li family now?"
"Huh?"
"I'm asking about the overall environment and situation at home."
"I can live my life, and I don't lack money. It's very ordinary." There was a trace of regret in Gu Jingyuan's tone.
His words were objective. After all, the Lis had been brought low over the past twenty years, and it was indeed very difficult for them to be associated with the noble families.
This was because not only did the rich and powerful have money, they also had status. It was difficult to re-enter this circle.
The Li family was so poor that they only had a little money left. Only the first, second, and third generations were qualified to be called influential.
If Gu Jingyuan's best friend who had custom-made these cars were here, he would definitely doubt his life. What misunderstanding did Gu Jingyuan have towards ordinary people?
He was one of the top ten richest people in S Nation. How could he be short of money and not living a good life?
Shi Jin did not ask further. It would be fine as long as the Li family could live their lives. Actually, seeing her parents supporting each other, she felt that there was nothing better than that.
Of course, if the Li family really could not make it, she didn't lack money now.
