Chapter 767: Second Cousin Thinks, I Didn’t Know This Girl Was So Pretty (1)
Gu Qingyao was taken aback!
“Both… both of us?”
Gu Qingyao glanced at the bicycle. Could it take all three of them?
“How are we all going to get on?”
Gu Jinhang’s lips twitched. “You sit in front, and Mingyue will sit at the back! What else?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“Hurry up!” Gu Jinhang urged them.
Gu Qingyao sat in front while Ji Mingyue sat at the back. Gu Jinhang pedaled the bicycle and brought both girls home.
As Gu Qingyao sat on the bicycle, she thought it was quite miraculous!
A bicycle could accommodate three grown-ups and still move. Wow, what great quality!
When they got home, the snow was getting heavier. Gu Qingyao dragged Ji Mingyue into her room. It was snowing hard outside, but it was as warm as spring in the room.
Ji Mingyue entered the room and stood there, stunned!
In the past, the Gu family had been far inferior to the Ji family. The Gu family’s hometown was far away, in the countryside. Third Uncle’s family in the provincial capital was not very prominent either, a far cry from the Ji family in fact.
But now, Gu Qingyao’s room was far superior to all the rooms in the Ji house.
The furniture was wooden. The style was lively and clearly meant for a girl, but it was quite discreet and was completely new.
The bed in the middle was especially big and very soft. The sheets and blankets were all made of the best material. She could tell just by looking at them that it must be very comfortable to lie on the bed.
The lighting in the room was excellent, with a large balcony. There were even delicate, billowy curtains and a large dressing table…
It was the prettiest room she had ever seen.
Since when did the Gu family become so rich?
When she entered, she realized that the living room downstairs was not as exquisitely decorated as Gu Qingyao’s room, but the furniture was all made of good material. She understood. The restrictions had just been lifted, and important families had to maintain a low profile. The living room was used to entertain guests and could not be overly luxurious.
Even though it was discreetly decorated, she could tell that all the items were of good quality!
“Yao… Yao Yao, is this your room?”
This probably showed the difference in their families’ heritage.
The Gu family had once been very wealthy. Although it had fallen on hard times, society was opening up again, and the Gu family was regaining its strength. It had deep financial roots. Even though Gu Yunshen had placed most of it in Gu Qingyao’s interspace, the items that the Gu family had hidden was enough for the family to spend lavishly.
Later on, they had recovered part of their fortune which had further bolstered the Gu family’s coffers.
If they were not afraid of being too conspicuous, Gu Chonghua and Grandma Gu would have decorated their granddaughter’s room even more lavishly!
They might be like other newly risen, mid-ranking families in terms of status, but the others could never compare to the Gu family in terms of financial ability.
Gu Qingyao was taking some things out of the cupboard next to her dressing table. When she heard that, she replied, “Yes! This is my Second Uncle’s home. I’ve only just returned, so I’m staying here for now. My father has gone to look for my mother and isn’t back yet! Grandfather and Grandma are here too, so I’m staying here temporarily!”
“It’s so pretty!” Ji Mingyue could not help but exclaim.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “I was away for too long, and my grandparents and older cousins all missed me. They decorated this room for me. When I came back, all I had to do was add a few simple things. Here, come and see if you like these.”
Gu Qingyao opened a box, revealing all kinds of cosmetics.
Ji Mingyue was exclaiming over seeing such a pretty room for the first time, but the cosmetics immediately attracted her attention!
