Ch 34: Are You Forcing Me To Reveal My True Identity?
I heard he not only speaks English well, but also Japanese and Korean, and even a niche language.
Even if Shen Mingyue were more arrogant and self-proclaimed, she wouldn’t be this skilled. This requires exceptionally strong language talent; for ordinary people, mastering one is already the limit.
Moreover, the current scope of education is not as broad as it will be in the future. Gu Yuanzhou’s rich knowledge is inseparable from the Gu Family’s cultivation of him, and even more inseparable from the nation’s cultivation of him.
At this time, Shen Mingyue realized that a politician’s value lies in standing high and completing his great mission. All this is more meaningful than money.
This is why some people, however intelligent, would rather receive a meager wage each month and shine in their job position.
They are not doing business and can’t make money, but they have their own path to follow.
At this moment, Shen Mingyue admired Gu Yuanzhou.
However, she quickly collected her thoughts and pretended to learn English haltingly.
This lasted two hours. Gu Yuanzhou discovered that Shen Mingyue was extremely intelligent; she learned many things after being taught only once. This was even better than he had been initially.
He was shocked inwardly, but outwardly showed no emotion. Could Shen Mingyue be a genius? Was her talent merely buried in the countryside?
A beautiful jade is hidden away; yet, jade remains jade. One just doesn’t know how dazzling a light this jade can emit in his hands.
Gu Yuanzhou felt particularly accomplished. When he reacted, he found it was almost twelve o’clock.
Shen Mingyue is a pregnant woman and needs sufficient sleep. How could she stay up so late?
“It’s too late. Go to sleep quickly. We’ll continue tomorrow night.”
Shen Mingyue had been pretending for a long time and felt exhausted. Seeing Gu Yuanzhou react, she quickly turned off the light.
“Go to sleep. I’m tired. I have to get up early to go to the shop tomorrow.”
Gu Yuanzhou tucked her blanket around her.
“Go to sleep.”
Shen Mingyue turned over, then turned back, and mentioned Bai Jingjing working in her shop.
“I almost forgot about this. Anyway, I’m telling you.”
Learning that Bai Jingjing would be working at her clothing store, Gu Yuanzhou was amused and speechless. If his brother knew his sister was working there, he wondered what his expression would be.
“That’s fine. She’s not young anymore. Since she can’t manage in a public unit, doing something else is also good.”
Shen Mingyue chuckled.
“Rest assured, I definitely won’t let Jingjing suffer any grievances. She’s so good. As long as I can make money, I definitely won’t let her down.”
Gu Yuanzhou’s lips curved slightly upward.
“I didn’t expect you to be so loyal.”
Shen Mingyue sniffled. “Of course, mainly because she’s also kind to me. Then look at your two sisters…”
As soon as she said this, Shen Mingyue realized she had spoken inappropriately.
Although they are a couple, they are not that close. It’s inappropriate for her to speak ill of his family in front of Gu Yuanzhou.
Fortunately, Gu Yuanzhou is not narrow-minded. Hearing her say this, he sighed involuntarily.
“Actually, Sisi is still quite kind at heart. She is just young and not sensible. She was spoiled since childhood. This is our negligence. If she is impolite to you, you don’t have to tolerate it. You are considered her elder; you should educate her as you see fit. If she throws a temper tantrum, I’ll back you up.”
It was evident that Gu Yuanzhou was also helpless with this sister. After all, she is the youngest child in the family and the only daughter; Gu Jianjun and the others naturally spoiled her more.
If a child is spoiled, they are likely to go astray. By the time it’s discovered, it’s too late, so timely guidance is needed.
Hearing Gu Yuanzhou say this, Shen Mingyue felt much more relieved. No matter what, this man wasn’t siding against her.
Every time Gu Sisi targeted her, Gu Yuanzhou also stood by her side.
“I feel Xiaofei doesn’t like me very much either.”
Shen Mingyue tentatively said. She felt that Zhou Xiaofei had unusual feelings for Gu Yuanzhou, her second brother, which was quite outrageous.
Although Zhou Xiaofei was not Gu’s biological daughter, she came to the Gu family at the age of 15, and the Gu family treated her as their biological daughter.
Yet, she developed those feelings for her brother. In the current era, this would definitely not be accepted.
Hearing Shen Mingyue mention Zhou Xiaofei, Gu Yuanzhou fell silent. He could speak casually about Gu Sisi, but he needed to choose his words carefully when talking about Zhou Xiaofei.
“Xiaofei may have many thoughts. Since she came to my house, she has been a rather independent girl and rarely shows her emotions. However, whoever it is, in the Gu family, we support justice and not relatives. Rest assured about that.”
Gu Yuanzhou didn’t want to speak ill of Zhou Xiaofei behind her back, but he could assure Shen Mingyue that whether it was Zhou Xiaofei or Gu Sisi, even if he, Gu Yuanzhou, made a mistake, wrong is wrong and right is right.
Shen Mingyue was quite satisfied with his answer. They chatted for a while, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she fell asleep after a while.
She was really tired today. She was busy in the shop all day, and when she got home, she had to cooperate with English studies. Now she could finally rest.
Gu Yuanzhou could feel Shen Mingyue’s fatigue and felt a strange pang of heartbreak.
Logically, they had no emotional foundation, but because they had a relationship, the inner feelings are difficult to sever. Gu Yuanzhou felt differently about Shen Mingyue.
He reached out and touched Shen Mingyue’s head, then quickly retracted his hand, surprised by his own impulsiveness.
Fortunately, Shen Mingyue didn’t wake up and didn’t notice his little action.
The next day, after Shen Mingyue finished breakfast and sent Nannan to kindergarten, she rushed to the clothing store.
When she arrived at the shop, she found the door was already open, and Bai Jingjing was cleaning.
Shen Mingyue glanced at her watch. She didn’t expect her to come so early.
“You don’t have to come so early. You can sleep in more in the morning.”
Seeing Shen Mingyue, Bai Jingjing looked up and smiled at her.
“I wake up early; I got up at 5:30. I had nothing to do anyway, so I might as well come earlier.”
“Did you have breakfast?”
Bai Jingjing nodded. “I did.”
Shen Mingyue put down her things, helped clean, and then spoke a little embarrassedly.
“Jingjing, you may have to watch the shop this morning. I’m taking my driver’s license test recently, so I have to go study for the next two days. Then I can drive.”
Bai Jingjing, naturally, had no objections. On Shen Mingyue’s first day using her, she gave her the key and entrusted her with the management of the store. This trust was rare.
“Go ahead. I’ll be here, don’t worry.”
Shen Mingyue nodded. “Then I’m sure I can rest easy. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll bring you lunch.”
After saying this, Shen Mingyue took the bus to her affiliated workplace.
Getting a driver’s license now isn’t as troublesome as it will be in the future. She’ll get it quickly. Once she gets her driver’s license, she can drive out, making things like going to get inventory more convenient.
