Chapter 52: Not a friend, just a classmate
After school on Tuesday afternoon, several luxury cars at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School headed in the direction of Gu's house one after another.
"It's really strange that Gu Lingsi actually arranged the dinner party at her house this time!"
Xia Ling opened his mouth to complain.
She was sitting in her car, with Ming Dai next to her, and the two were on their way to Gu Lingsi's appointment.
Today until the last class in the afternoon, Gu Lingsi did not announce the location of the dinner party in the evening, and everyone didn't think much about it, thinking that she would habitually arrange for the restaurants they often visited.
Who knew that after school, the dinner venue mentioned by Gu Lingsi in a group message would be the Gu family's old house!
This deliberately stepped on the point, as if he was afraid that if he said it too early, someone would regret not going......
Ming Dai didn't say anything, quietly looking out the car window.
The sky gradually darkened, and I don't know when it began to rain lightly.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car is large, and the window glass is covered with a thin layer of fog, blurring the scenery flying outside the window, and the neon lights along the lane are like beans fluttering in the wind.
The vision was then blurred and blocked, and Ming Dai suddenly found that the Gu Lingsi she had seen before seemed to be the same, separated by a layer of foggy glass, and the person behind the glass was like a phantom in the mirror, never real.
And now, the blurred mist on that glass was being wiped away little by little, allowing her to gradually get a glimpse of the real Gu Lingsi—the Gu Lingsi she had never really understood in her previous life.
"The Gu family has arrived."
Xia Ling reminded in a whisper.
Ming Dai suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that time had passed quietly in contemplation.
In the dark night, the prostrate Gu family's old mansion was like a huge beast, opening its hideous mouth in the shape of a black carved iron door and swallowing the cars that came one after another.
The sky was completely dark, the dark rain curtain was low, and people were overwhelmed, and the big trees raised in the courtyard of the deep house were dancing their teeth and claws in the wind, and occasionally a few faint lights could not dispel the darkness at all.
Of course, this old mansion is not like this, it is elegant and gorgeous, located in the oldest wealthy area of Yanjing, from the outside, this area is low-key like a forest park in the city, only deep into the winding tree-lined lane, you can see the mansions along the road.
The old house of the Gu family belongs to the largest area of the several, with the main building as the center, the two annex buildings are like bird wings, it has been built for more than 50 years, there have been three generations of the Gu family living here, is the symbol of the Gu family.
At this time, with the arrival of a car, several servants came out of the main building, holding umbrellas, escorting the guests who got off the car.
Gu Lingsi, who was in the starry moon, walked in the forefront, her demeanor was as elegant as the empty valley orchid, and when she came to this mansion, her temperament complemented each other like a fish returning to the water.
Suddenly, she remembered something, turned around in the crowd, looked at Ming Dai with bright smiling eyes, and said in a kind tone:
"Mingdai, come to the front!"
Everyone else knew that they were invited to the Gu family today because of Ming Dai, and although some people were unhappy, they still retreated to both sides and made way for Ming Dai to lead to Gu Lingsi.
Among them, Tang Xue's face was the most ugly, and she didn't even want to look at Ming Dai, so she snorted and turned her head.
In front of everyone's eyes, Ming Dai didn't move.
In the eyes of others, she wore silly glasses and cut silly bangs, but she didn't dare to step forward because she was flattered and stunned.
Only Ming Dai and Xia Ling beside her knew that she was reluctant to step forward.
"Oops."
Gu Lingsi smiled and was about to come over to pull Mindai.
"Who is Mingdai?"
An elegant female voice fluttered.
Someone whispered, and then hurriedly avoided it, and by the way, a few "aunts" and "madam" sounded one after another.
Gu Lingsi immediately turned his toes, his eyes burst out with strong surprise, and he ran briskly towards the person:
"Mom!"
It's Gu's mother Wei Yin!
The room was heated hot, and Wei Yin only wore a printed silk dress, and the exaggerated color collision of the fabric was like a work of art, but he was very harmonious with Wei Yin, who was born as a dancer and had a graceful figure.
Instead of suppressing her beauty, it made her more and more bright and moving, except for the faint fine lines at the end of her eyes, there was almost no trace of time.
Even those eyes have not been ruined by the vicissitudes of life, like an innocent girl, and at first glance, they have been pampered for decades.
At this time, Wei Yin was affectionately hugged by Gu Lingsi's arm and patted her back with a smile.
Gu Lingsi: "Didn't you go to country F and come back the day after tomorrow?" ”
Wei Yin: "Because I miss my baby, I came back early." ”
The intimacy of the mother and daughter made the people around them smile.
Mingdai didn't laugh.
She was quiet, and through her thick black-rimmed glasses, her amber eyes were as bright as gems, and unexpectedly met another pair of amber eyes that happened to seem.
"You're Mingdai?"
Wei Yin felt quite surprised, and looked Ming Dai up and down,
"Are you also a friend of our Lingsi?"
Gu Lingsi was about to smile and nod.
Another slow, slightly muffled, but clear enough voice sounded:
"I'm not a friend, I'm just a classmate."
Everyone gasped.
The smile on Wei Yin's face slowly disappeared.
She haughtily withdrew her gaze from Mindai and returned to her precious daughter.
To put it mildly and dismissively, it was like skipping an object that she didn't bother to pay attention to.
Wei Yin put his hand behind Gu Lingsi's waist, still in a friendly tone:
"It's rare that we invite so many friends to our house today, everyone remember to have fun! I've already told you in the kitchen, just say whatever you want to eat, you're welcome! ”
"Thank you, Auntie!"
"Aunt Wei, you are still so beautiful!"
The teenagers coaxed Wei Yin into laughing from ear to ear.
"One by one, it's sweet!"
Their liveliness seems to have excluded Ming Dai.
At this time, Wei Yin skipped over Ming Dai and saw Xia Ling walking behind her.
Xia Ling answered a call from home just now, so he stayed in the car for a few more minutes.
Wei Yin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was more genuine and friendly:
"Xia Ling is here? I didn't expect you to come to the Lingsi meeting, when did the two of you get along so well? Auntie is so happy to watch! ”
This unique enthusiasm does not displease others.
After all, it was Xia Ling!
Even if Wei Yin is an elder, he still has to respect and look up to Xia Ling!
As for Xia Ling, although he didn't know what had happened just now, after listening to Wei Yin's polite words, he still replied very honestly:
"Aunt Wei, long time no see. I'm here today with my friend Mingdai. ”
Compared with Ming Dai's straightforwardness, this is much more euphemistic.
…… euphemistically denied his friendship with Gu Lingsi.
Suddenly, there was silence.
The smile on Wei Yin's face froze, and anger gradually ignited in his eyes-
What's going on with these two girls!
