Rebirth of an Idle Noble Women (200-end)

265-268

Chapter 265: Who’s Afraid Of Whom?

Gu Xiqiao and Jiang Shuxuan reached home, with Hua Youlin and Luo Wenlin behind them.

The two boys had stayed with Mu Zong the previous day, and today Luo Wenlang was busy implementing the new processes in the company, so Gu Xiqiao was asked to take care of Luo Wenlin for the time being. The entire Nine Heavens was busy, and it was only Gu Xiqiao alone that was free. Luo Wenlang had shoved Luo Wenlin towards her the first chance he could.

In half a month’s time, Hua Youlin had gathered a lot of questions to ask Gu Xiqiao. Luo Wenlin sat on the other side of Gu Xiqiao, reading a book as he listened with one ear to Gu Xiqiao’s teachings. In the beginning, Hua Youlin’s results had been a far cry from Luo Wenlin’s, but now after a month, he was slowly starting to catch up.

Gu Xiqiao and Luo Wenlang’s way of teaching were different, but geniuses still taught along the same way, precise, accurate, and fast, using the shortest and fastest way to talk about the most cumbersome topics.

Hua Youlin’s weakness was in the subject of cumbersome physics diagrams, but Gu Xiqiao easily managed to break it down to make it easier for him to understand.

Luo Wenlin was working on his own homework at the same time, but his attention gradually shifted towards the words that Gu Xiqiao was saying.

In the end, after the bunch of questions that Hua Youlin had had been resolved by Gu Xiqiao, Luo Wenlin took the opportunity to also hold up his own homework to ask her for help.

“Brother Jiang.” Hua Youlin put aside his workbook, moving to sit beside Jiang Shuxuan as the older man settled into the sofa opposite them. “Do you know who we met today?”

Jiang Shuxuan glanced at Hua Youlin, then continued to pick up the ancient text in his hands, not saying anything.

Hua Youlin was not discouraged by the motion, already used to it. His voice lowered slightly as he continued, “It’s a big brother who is super good looking, and really nice. He even treated us to milk tea, and gave a card to Sister Gu.” Finally, he added a concluding remark, “Young girls nowadays like men who are more warm and gentle, guys who are way better than you!”

Jiang Shuxuan finally raised his head to look at Hua Youlin, a cold glint in his eyes.

“Youlin, then do you like that other big brother, and not your Brother Jiang anymore?” Mrs. Zhang asked as she brought out a plate of cut fruits.

Hua Youlin glanced at her, before looking back at Jiang Shuxuan. “Even though that big brother was nice, I still like Brother Jiang more!”

After saying that, he bounced away to Gu Xiqiao’s side once more, doing his work seriously.

Jiang Shuxuan’s eyes were still on him, although his face didn’t change, the cold glint in his eyes gradually vanished.

“How is the Hua family nowadays?” Slender fingers turned the pages of the book in his hands as the older man asked.

Hearing this, Hua Youlin looked at Jiang Shuxuan in disbelief. H-He was this kind of person?!

Gu Xiqiao didn’t stop in her writing, but she replied, “It’s almost time. I’ll accompany him back in a few more days.” Little Huazi should get the things that he needed before that.

Jiang Shuxuan merely continued to flip through the pages after he heard her reply.

He was clearly happier after hearing her answer.

“Sister Gu…” Hua Youlin looked at Gu Xiqiao, a pitiful face that was close to crying without tears.

By the time Gu Xiqiao and Luo Wenlin was done with his homework, Shu Chen and her butler had returned to the house, with a bunch of stuff in his arms.
