Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Consent
Gu Jiahui felt mentally exhausted when he got up early.
Last night, his parents came to see him.
It’s normal for parents to occasionally show concern when their recently turned adult son moves out, but as usual, Gu Jiahui was in an extremely low mood.
No one understood the relationship among the three of them, not even his cousin who had been close to him since childhood.
He hadn’t slept all night, which left Gu Jiahui in a daze.
Sheng Tang’s note was handed to him. Holding it in his hand, he felt a bit chilly in his palm.
Instead of going directly to the classroom, Gu Jiahui went to the restroom.
He wanted to see what Sheng Tang had written.
Sheng Tang said, "I accept your terms, but I need to make some changes. In any case, I’ll help you achieve your goal. If you agree, we’ll discuss the details in person. Same location."
Gu Jiahui smiled a bit.
He knew it wouldn’t be easy to outmaneuver Sheng Tang.
She’s like a sly fox. No matter what kind of job she has in the future, or if she just gets married and has children, she’ll always control her own life.
Gu Jiahui could feel a continuous surge of strength from her.
He left the restroom, exited the school gate, and went to a nearby coffee shop to buy two cups of coffee.
Drinking two cups of coffee on an empty stomach had a noticeable effect; he felt pretty energized all morning.
After having lunch, he took a short nap and stayed focused in class all afternoon.
After school, he sluggishly went to the flower shop.
Sheng Tang had already arrived.
She was chatting idly with the owner, even helping to arrange the flowers.
"Sister Lanlan, what time do you have to go pick up the flowers every morning?" Sheng Tang asked.
The shop owner, Sun Lanlan, had once worked part-time at a flower shop during her college years and gained plenty of experience.
After graduating from college, she worked for a while but wasn’t satisfied, so she quit and borrowed money to open this flower shop.
The past few years had been good economically, her small shop was well managed, business was decent, and she made some money. With the help of her parents, she paid the down payment and bought this small store.
The person who sold the shop to her was Gu Jiahui.
Sun Lanlan still remembered the shock of seeing the seller for the first time.
So young, just a high school freshman, still with a baby face!
Her flower shop was close to Gu Jiahui’s school, and he would occasionally drop by. For some reason, he let his guard down around her and often hung out there.
They gradually got to know each other.
"I have to go at four in the morning," said Sun Lanlan.
"That’s so tiring!"
"Not really, I only go twice a week. I catch up on sleep on those two days," Sun Lanlan said, "What job isn’t tiring?"
Sheng Tang thought about it and agreed.
When she had just entered the entertainment industry, she spent twenty hours on set filming and waiting. Later, when she became a bit famous, she had to do promotional activities, sometimes working non-stop for four days, catching sleep on the plane.
While they were chatting, Gu Jiahui came in.
At the same time, a customer also came in to buy flowers.
Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui went upstairs to talk.
Though Sun Lanlan’s attic was small, it was neatly arranged and very cozy.
"...What you want is nothing more than to let Yang Mingming know that you have admirers too, that you are a rare catch," Sheng Tang said.
Gu Jiahui squinted his eyes.
"This person has to be me because of my relationship with Gu Shiting," Sheng Tang continued before he could make a sarcastic comment.
Gu Jiahui’s eyes widened a bit, with a hint of approval.
Someone like Yang Mingming, for all the suitors who came to her, no matter how much she liked them, would have limits.
What kind of man couldn’t she have?
She was so beautiful and her family background was so prestigious.
She uniquely liked Gu Shiting, who acted indifferent towards her. Even if Gu Jiahui pursued her, it wouldn’t last long.
Gu Jiahui planned to change his strategy.
