Chapter 171



171 Like You?

Huang Jun smiled and said to Gu Man, “Look at your cousin. He’s all for everything at home being the best. He’s really bragging.”

Then, he turned around and said to Huang Jue, “When you go to Han City and eat the food in the big city, you might feel that these dishes are average.”

“No way. Grandma and Dad’s home-cooked dishes are the best.”

As Huang Jue spoke, he picked up a piece of smoked meat and ate it with relish. When Gu Man saw this, she couldn’t help but pick up a piece and eat it. Instantly, it left a fragrance in her mouth. After swallowing a piece of meat, she said, “Cousin is right. It’s really delicious. This smoked meat is fat but not greasy.”

The old lady quickly picked up another piece for Gu Man. “Eat more if it’s delicious. Little Xiang, eat more too.”

The family ate breakfast happily under the logan tree in the courtyard.

At noon, the car arrived at her house in Jingxin District.

As soon as he stepped in, Huang Jun looked around and couldn’t wait to pull Gu Man aside. “Manman, why are you renting such a good house? It’s so expensive. We just need a place to stay.”

“Uncle, this place is very close to the best hospital. It’s also quiet and suitable for Grandma to recuperate. Didn’t I tell Uncle that I can earn money myself? Don’t worry.”

“Manman, you still have to take the college entrance examination now. You must put your studies first. Don’t be distracted by us to earn money, understand?”

Seeing Gu Man’s solemn guarantee, Huang Jun reluctantly relaxed.

Seeing that she had arrived, Xiang Yin said, “Then I’ll take my leave first. If you need any help, get Gu Man to contact me.”

Seeing this, Gu Man said sincerely, “Thank you.”

Xiang Yin smiled. “Then you can treat me to a meal next time.”

“Okay,” Gu Man replied seriously.

“Alright, I was just joking.”

Huang Jun and the others also said gratefully, “When we’re settled down, you can come back for dinner when we have time. Then, you can try my cooking.”

“Okay, Uncle Huang’s cooking is really good,” Xiang Yin replied with a smile.

After Xiang Yin left, Gu Man’s grandmother asked directly, “Manman, is this Little Xiang very good friends with you?”

“Not really. I’ve seen him a few times and he’s been very kind to help me a few times,” Gu Man said honestly.

“How did you meet Little Xiang? What does he do? What does his family do?” the old man asked anxiously.

“Auntie, why are you asking this? I think Little Xiang is someone who knows his limits. He’s also sincerely helping Manman.”

Seeing that Gu Man did not know how to answer, Huang Jun quickly said.

“If I don’t ask, I’ll be worried about Manman,” the old lady said helplessly.

“Grandma, it’s all thanks to his help these days. I’m very grateful to him. As for the rest, I didn’t ask too much. I don’t know him too well.”

To be honest, Gu Man did not know Xiang Yin very well. She only knew that he was a rich young master, and she did not want to probe further.

“That’s it?” the old man asked in disbelief.

“What else is there?” Gu Man asked curiously.

“Then Little Xiang, he… he has some feelings for you?” The old lady probed.

“What do you mean?” Gu Man was a little confused.

“Does Brother Xiang like you?” Huang Jue asked anxiously.

Gu Man held her forehead and said speechlessly, “How is that possible?”

“Little Xiang’s expression looks like it. Did I guess wrong?” Huang Jun muttered.

“Uncle, Mr. Xiang and I are just ordinary friends. We’ve only met a few times. He’s more enthusiastic and it’s not what you think. Don’t say this in front of Mr. Xiang.” Gu Man reminded him anxiously.

“I’m just asking you here. It’s best if he doesn’t. It’s more important for you to focus on your studies now. We’ll talk about the rest after the college entrance examination.”

Huang Jun relaxed when he heard that.

“I know,” Gu Man replied seriously.

“Grandma, Uncle, Cousin, let me bring you to the room. Put the daily necessities in the room.” Gu Man was about to lead them to the room.

The three of them said happily, “Okay.”

Gu Man had already arranged rooms for them. Each of them had their own room.

“Manman, are you staying here or at the Gu residence?” Huang Jun had wanted to ask this question for a long time. After all, even if they came out to stay, it was impossible for Gu Man to leave the Gu residence to accompany them for a long time. Regardless of whether Gu Man was willing or not, the Gu family should be unwilling.
