Chapter 279: Chapter 279 Intentionally Snooping on My Whereabouts

But Aunt’s words are often unreliable; some can be trusted while others can’t, but that has nothing to do with her.

She couldn’t be bothered to verify it.

Clearly, though, Song Yunuan’s relationship with Gu Huai’an was quite unusual.

His gaze towards her was different from the way he looked at them.

How laughable that Shen Yaru was putting on airs here.

Gu Huai’an still appeared very calm, not even bothering to refute her.

But in the next moment, a car approached from a distance.

Secretary Xiao Wu got out of the car, followed by a person in uniform who nodded gravely at the two of them.

Secretary Xiao Wu asked Gu Huai’an, "Boss, these two people...?"

Gu Huai’an glanced at Shen Yaru and Qian Anna and said indifferently, without any emotion, "They are from the Shen and Qian families, maybe it’s just a coincidence, probably not intentional snooping on my whereabouts."

Shen Yaru was slow to react, but Qian Anna’s complexion changed drastically, her heart beating in panic as she finally realized something.

Gu Huai’an was high-ranking and surrounded by guards; most of his movements were meant to be kept secret.

Her face turned pale, and pulling Shen Yaru with her, she said to Gu Huai’an, "Really... it really is a coincidence, so we’ll be leaving now, sorry."

Shen Yaru this time chose not to speak.

Some people you feel you can approach because they seem approachable.

Just because she was headstrong didn’t mean she was foolish.

She nearly caused a big problem.

The two hurriedly got into the car, which was driven by a relative of the Qian family.

He had stayed in the car not wanting to get involved, but he had to bring them here.

He always thought Qian Fen talked too much, acting as if Gu Huai’an was going to be her son-in-law.

And to monitor his movements?

Can you really control that?

Although he didn’t hear what was said, he could clearly see that Gu Huai’an simply ignored them.

He asked, "Where to now?"

Qian Anna suppressed the panic in her eyes and her jealousy towards Song Yunuan, saying, "Let’s go home."

They had come to probe into his whereabouts.

Song Yunuan casually drove his car and even dared to leave him on the roadside.

The difference in closeness was clear.

So, the driver turned the car around and headed towards the highway.

Shen Yaru’s complexion wasn’t any better; she hadn’t expected this outcome.

She felt very uneasy.

Wondering if Gu Huai’an would tell on them.

Gu Huai’an would tell, but what he would tell was about Song Yunuan.

He sat in front of Old Mrs. Song, talking about Song Yunuan, "She’s too bold. Normally I should sit next to her, but Little Nuan kicked me out of the car, took Asheng, and drove off.

I waited by the roadside for half an hour before she came back driving the car, not knowing where she went, the car covered in mud.

That’s not really a problem, I can wash it when I’m not busy, but even though she can drive, she can’t be careless..."

Old Mrs. Song was truly angry.

She knew Little Nuan was daring, but Gu Huai’an’s car looked different from other cars, even higher than Chu Zizhou’s jeep.

You say you just drive, but by having Gu Huai’an sit next to you, is that supposed to ensure safety?

"Song Yunuan, come here!" Old Mrs. Song, including the entire Song family, had always been protective of Song Yunuan, not daring to scold her.

This was the first time raising her voice to Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan obediently walked over, and Old Mrs. Song, not knowing how to scold her granddaughter, instinctively smacked Song Mingbo, who had come to watch the excitement, "What are you looking at? Go and help your sister wash Gu Huai’an’s car. A perfectly good car, looks like it’s been rolling in the mud, and Song Yunuan, I warn you, from now on you’re forbidden to drive, wait until you go to university, do you hear me?"

Song Yunuan blinked.

It seemed like a long time since she’d experienced being scolded.

She nodded immediately, her manner meek and clever, "Heard it!"

Actually, she was just trying to give Gu Huai’an a chance out of kindness.

Old Mrs. Song slapped Song Mingbo again, "Aren’t you going to fetch water? What are you dawdling for?"

Song Mingbo: ...

It’s only now that I realize what’s going on. Grandma, I’m not stupid. This is too much. If this continues, I’m going to run away from home!

Song Mingbo obediently went to fetch water.

Gu Huai’an looked at Song Yunuan with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Song Yunuan, however, leaned in and asked quietly, "Which of the two girls do you like?"

Under the sunlight, the young girl’s skin seemed to glow, her eyes brimming with tiny shards of sunlight.

Gu Huai’an’s heart trembled, and he countered with a question, "Which one do you think I should like?"

Song Yunuan: "Spring flowers and winter plums each have their own charm."

Gu Huai’an glanced at her, "I’m off to get busy, make sure to wash the car well. Did you hear me?"

Afterward, Gu Huai’an left the Song family’s yard with brisk steps.

Little Asheng came trotting over with a small bucket, "Sister, you rest. Big brother and I can take care of it."

Sister’s car was so well driven.

The reason for the mud was that he had gone into the woods to pick wild peaches.

Unfortunately, there weren’t any wild peaches left in that grove.

Song Yunuan pinched her brother’s cheek; the little guy was becoming more and more adorable.

Before long, Chu Zizhou came to call for Song Yunuan. The county had phoned, asking Song Yunuan to bring the sales staff from Zhilan Garment Factory to Nanshan County Town, as everything had been arranged there.

So, Song Yunuan ran to the Zhou family’s house again.

This time, Old Mrs. Zhou was very welcoming.

She washed a sweet melon for Song Yunuan, saying all kinds of nice things. Zhou Xiaohua was burning with impatience and only when she saw Song Yunuan did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Yesterday, following Song Yunuan’s advice, she went back and talked terms with Grandma. As soon as Grandma heard that she could make thirty dollars a month doing nothing, she was indeed tempted.

Never mind the future, as long as both granddaughters went to work, wouldn’t that mean they would have money every month?

Why wouldn’t they go for it then?

Besides, this Song Yunuan was not like her father; she was formidable. If Xiaohua got along with her, she would definitely protect Xiaohua vigorously. Come to think of it, this loss seemed to have some luck after all.

Old Mrs. Zhou naturally had a smile on her face, and she happily allowed Zhou Xiaohua to follow Song Yunuan, even helping to pack her luggage.

Song Yunuan whispered to Old Mrs. Zhou, "Grandma Zhou, I was in a hurry yesterday, and if I said anything improper, please don’t take it to heart."

But as she spoke, her eyes were fixed firmly on the old lady.

Old Mrs. Zhou was taken aback and hurriedly said, "It was just a ruse to fool my girl yesterday. I was the one who wronged her, but it was something that couldn’t be helped."

Song Yunuan: "You’re right, you do owe her an apology."

Old Mrs. Zhou: ...

She hurriedly urged Zhou Xiaohua to leave, to pack up and go to work and earn her some money.

Old Man Song drove the horse cart with Song Liang, Song Yunuan, and the jubilant Zhou Xiaohua to Nanshan County Town.

The paperwork was handled very smoothly, the counter was cleared for them, Zhou Xiaohua went to the female workers’ dormitory, and the department store had ready-made bedding; the bed sheets were provided by Song Yunuan, who suggested Zhou Xiaohua keep a tab for them.

At the department store, they could start selling garments, bags, and other items from the next day.

She would need to get involved and help out over the next few days.

Song Yunuan entrusted the department store’s manager to temporarily set up a financial ledger for her.

Of course, this was all arranged by Kou County for her to handle.

The manager obviously knew Song Yunuan.

And he took care of everything promptly.

Since they had been given the counter and a dormitory had been cleared, setting up a ledger and an account was no big deal.

With everything in the department store arranged, Song Yunuan then visited Sister Zhao’s home, and accompanied by Brother-in-law Zhao, took a tour around the market square, which was under construction. There were also vendors outside, but nowadays one couldn’t just put up a stall; procedures had to be followed and fees paid.

Even Old Mr. Hu and others hadn’t expected Nanshan County Town to take such big strides.

In fact, Kou County hadn’t expected it either.

Although the fiscal situation was difficult, the necessary work had to be done. Endure the hardship for a while, and soon there would be clear skies.
