Chapter 709
At this moment, Xiao Churan had absolutely no guard against Gu Qiuyi, who was like a fairy descending to earth.
In her eyes, Gu Qiuyi was the perfect manifestation of a modern woman. A woman like her, who was excellent in every aspect to the extreme, no longer had the worldly aura of the mortal world.
Therefore, she never even thought that such a woman could be her potential rival in love.
Ye Chen also felt relieved at this time. He planned to go to Jingcheng quietly after Qin Aoxue finished the finals, to quietly meet Gu Qiuyi's father, Gu Yanzhong.
Meeting Gu Yanzhong was not the goal; curing his late-stage pancreatic cancer was his true purpose.
He was his father's good brother. For so many years, not only did he go to pay respects to his parents every holiday, but he also never relaxed or gave up searching for his whereabouts. He must repay this kindness.
Just right, he could also take this opportunity to go to Jingcheng to meet Tang Sihai and find him to understand some more clues and information.
So, this trip to Jingcheng would take at least three or five days.
To be away from home for three or five days without letting his wife have any suspicions, the best excuse was to be invited by Gu Qiuyi to go to Jingcheng to check the feng shui for her family.
With Gu Qiuyi saying the invitation herself in front of his wife, his wife wouldn't be suspicious anymore.
Seeing Xiao Churan agree readily, Gu Qiuyi nodded happily and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mrs. Ye to be so straightforward. I was worried you wouldn't agree."
Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Miss Gu, I'm too happy that you can recognize my husband's ability; how could I not agree? It's just that in case my husband doesn't do well enough, I hope you will bear with him."
"How could that be!" Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "I am very satisfied with Mr. Ye's ability, and I believe my father and my family are the same. So, I have to thank Mrs. Ye for making this happen!"
Xiao Churan was somewhat flattered and hurriedly said: "Miss Gu, you are too polite."
Seeing Gu Qiuyi keep using these ulterior motives to secretly release some kind of signal, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and depression in his heart.
He knew that this was for him to hear, and at the same time, it was also implicitly said to Xiao Churan. It could even be understood as a kind of demonstration by her in front of him toward Xiao Churan.
However, he was helpless about this.
After all, he owed Gu Qiuyi all of this, and it was he who betrayed the marriage contract set by both parents back then. No matter what, he had no face to blame her.
Moreover, what made Ye Chen even more depressed was that he couldn't refuse Gu Qiuyi as decisively as he refused Dong Ruolin.
Because although Dong Ruolin liked him, he not only didn't owe Dong Ruolin any favor, but he had also saved her life multiple times. So even if he refused her straightforwardly every time, Ye Chen wouldn't have any psychological burden.
But Gu Qiuyi was different.
She was his betrothed. She had been searching for him, waiting for him, and looking forward to him for so many years, while he had let her down. This kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, was his fault.
At this time, Xiao Churan, who was kept in the dark, gathered her courage and said to Gu Qiuyi: "Miss Gu, I... can I take a photo with you?"
Gu Qiuyi agreed very readily and said with a smile: "Okay! Take it now?"
Xiao Churan hurriedly nodded: "If it's convenient for you, then let's take it now!"
Gu Qiuyi nodded, took the initiative to move her chair a bit, leaned closer to Xiao Churan, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ye is so beautiful; I feel a lot of pressure taking a photo with you."
"How could that be..." Xiao Churan said somewhat awkwardly: "I'm the one who should feel pressure. Miss Gu is not only beautiful but also a top big star in the country. In front of you, I can't help but feel inferior..."
Gu Qiuyi smiled slightly: "Come, I'll be a bit in front; that way it can make your face look smaller and better."
The two women took a selfie together as intimately as sisters.
After taking it, Xiao Churan held her phone and asked excitedly: "Miss Gu, I... can I post this photo to my Moments?"
Xiao Churan herself was a woman without much vanity.
When Ye Chen bought her a BMW, she didn't post it to Moments;
When Ye Chen held a wedding for her at the Sky Garden of the Buckingham Palace Hotel, she didn't post it to Moments;
When Ye Chen took her to experience a supercar worth tens of millions, she still didn't post it to Moments;
Even after moving into a top-tier luxury mansion like Tang Chen Yi Pin, she still didn't post it to Moments.
The only thing she "showed off" on Moments was the vegetable garden that her husband Ye Chen built for her overnight.
However, this time, she really couldn't hold it back anymore.
After all, Gu Qiuyi was her favorite female star and her idol. Being able to have dinner with her idol, and even take a photo with her, how many times in a lifetime could one encounter such a thing?
Gu Qiuyi also nodded and smiled generously: "Of course you can, Mrs. Ye, please feel free."
Getting Gu Qiuyi's consent, Xiao Churan thanked her happily, then opened her WeChat and posted the photo to her Moments.
Her caption for the Moments was: "Never dreamed that I would have the opportunity to meet my idol and take a photo with her!"
Once this photo was posted, it received countless likes and comments.
Xiao Churan's social circle had never left Jin Ling. For a second-tier city like Jin Ling, there weren't many opportunities to see a first-tier big star.
Especially a super first-tier top big star like Gu Qiuyi, who was even harder to see.
Therefore, Xiao Churan's Moments post triggered countless people's exclamations and envy.
Many people even chatted with her privately, asking for details about her meeting with Gu Qiuyi, such as where she was now, whether Gu Qiuyi had come to Jin Ling, whether she could help get an autographed photo of Gu Qiuyi, and so on.
Gu Qiuyi on the side smiled and said: "Mrs. Ye, the outside world doesn't know about this trip to Jin Ling, so if anyone asks, you must not say that I am in Jin Ling."
Xiao Churan hurriedly nodded: "I know, Miss Gu, don't worry, I will absolutely not reveal it to the outside world!"
Gu Qiuyi nodded and said with a smile: "By the way, Mrs. Ye, why don't we add each other as WeChat friends? We can contact each other directly on WeChat if there's anything in the future."
"Add as friends?!" Xiao Churan exclaimed: "You want to add me as a WeChat friend?"
Xiao Churan dared to believe that her idol actually wanted to add her as a WeChat friend. She hadn't thought about this idea before. If she could add Gu Qiuyi as a friend, even if she didn't have time to pay attention to her, she could often see her Moments and her latest updates.
However, she thought later that her status was vastly different from Gu Qiuyi's. Being able to have a meal together was already a great stroke of luck; how could she be embarrassed to add someone else as a WeChat friend?
But she never expected that Gu Qiuyi would take the initiative to add her as a friend. Being able to become WeChat friends with her idol was truly something she dared not dream of!
