Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Unexpected Family Rules(2)

Su Yixia thus suddenly looked up at her face, "Gu Nuan, I’ve noticed that you always seem to zone out when you talk. Who are you thinking about?"

Gu Nuan shook her head, "Nobody."

"Right, have you moved out of the school?"

"The school doesn’t allow us to live there anymore."

"So where are you staying?"

"I rented a place outside. Just an ordinary rental house."

"Is it expensive? If you think the rent is high, you can crash at my place for awhile. My mom really likes you."

"The rent, it’s okay, I guess—" Gu Nuan was embarrassed to say that she was temporarily playing sugar baby, living in that kind of upscale apartment where the rent might cost tens of thousands a month. Now, she was temporarily relying on that fake husband to provide the rent.

Afterward, she finally got into Su Yixia’s car.

As a novice driver, you can imagine the experience. Throughout the journey, Gu Nuan clutched the seat belt tightly. After this experience, she swore she would never drive herself.

They say that women driving is like being pregnant; there are always three fools involved. This wasn’t wrong.

She didn’t want to harm herself, and even less to harm others.

Su Yixia, on the other hand, was quite excited and drove her all the way to the subway station entrance, saying, "Actually, I could have driven you straight to your place."

"No need." Gu Nuan hurriedly unbuckled her seat belt.

Su Yixia knew what was up and curled her lips, "It’s like this for all new drivers."

Gu Nuan could only offer an awkward explanation, "Where I live is in the opposite direction from your place. I’m afraid of delaying you."

"It’s no trouble, I need the real-world practice now."

Still, don’t use me as a guinea pig. Gu Nuan pushed open the car door and waved at her, "I’m going to head off now."

Su Yixia smiled and drove off, her earlier frustration and dejection evaporating.

Gu Nuan watched her car leave, thought for a moment, opened up her cell phone contacts, and found Wa Zicong’s number.

She wasn’t the kind of woman who would lose her sanity like a madwoman due to a setback in a relationship. Keeping his number wasn’t because, as he said, they couldn’t be a couple but could be friends.

No, it was simply for potential use when needed.

After sending him a few words, Gu Nuan put her phone back in her pocket and then made her way to the subway entrance.

A car suddenly rushed up from behind and stopped abruptly next to her.

Feeling the close impact, Gu Nuan looked back and saw a red Ferrari, and the driver was Zhan Dapeng.

Zhan Dapeng opened the rear car door and waved her over.

Gu Nuan looked left and right, saw no one familiar, and then got into his car.

The Ferrari sped onto the main road and continued onward until it entered the highway. Only then did Zhan Dapeng speak to the front mirror, "I heard sister-in-law can read lips."

"Hmm."

"I haven’t told second brother about sister-in-law coming to Changda for an interview. But sooner or later, he’ll find out."

"It doesn’t matter if you tell him."

"Sister-in-law might not know. The Xiao Family has a rule that anyone from the family who wants to work at the company must do so without relying on any connections."

His family’s rules seemed strict and fair. That was somewhat unexpected to her.

"Of course, if sister-in-law were to reveal her identity, the company’s training program would not be the same as for ordinary employees."

"No need." Gu Nuan then realized she had been too direct with her response, perhaps arousing suspicion, and added, "I want to hone my skills first."
