Chapter 935 Lying

Chapter 935: Chapter 935 Lying

Fully aware of Wang Erfeng’s temperament and to avoid unnecessary trouble, the next day Gu Jianbin made up an excuse to see his high school classmates and took Zhou Siyu to the city.

The two went to a market near the vegetable market, which was where Wang Erfeng used to have a stall. Clothes there were relatively cheap, and it was usually where people from the countryside would shop when they came to the city.

As they passed by the vegetable shop run by Shen Mianmian, Gu Jianbin, for some reason, glanced inside subconsciously and then, disappointed, looked away.

Shen Mianmian had been admitted to Beijing University with the top scores in the province, which was well known, and he had been shocked at the time, finding it unbelievable. But recalling that his elder brother died because of her, he was filled with hatred.

Therefore, every time he thought of Shen Mianmian, he felt a sense of guilt, feeling that thinking of her was betraying Gu Jianli. Only by constantly reminding himself to hate Shen Mianmian could he feel somewhat at peace.

But, he couldn’t quite explain why, every time he passed by here, he wanted to take a look.

"Jianbin, what are you looking at?"

Zhou Siyu asked deliberately.

"Nothing," Gu Jianbin shook his head guiltily, "Let’s hurry up and shop! Look at the weather, it might rain today."

"Or maybe we shouldn’t buy anything!" Zhou Siyu hesitated, "Now the situation at your home isn’t as good as before, we should probably save what we can."

"It’s fine," Gu Jianbin comforted, "Just wait a couple of years till I graduate, I can easily find a job then, and the monthly income won’t be less. There’s no need to be too hard on ourselves right now."

Before Zhou Siyu could speak, he took her hand and said, "Since we’re here in the city, let’s also visit your dad! Isn’t he hospitalized? Now that we are dating, it would be impolite not to visit him. After buying clothes, we’ll buy some health supplements."

Before coming, Gu Jianbin had already decided that since he was dating Zhou Siyu, he had to do what was expected and not let people gossip about him being impolite.

"What?" Zhou Siyu’s expression changed, and her eyes shifted slightly, "That’s not necessary! My mom is taking care of my dad. He’s quite stubborn and doesn’t like meeting strangers."

Gu Jianbin found it strange, "We are dating now, how am I a stranger?"

Previously, right after he came back, he had wanted to visit Zhou Siyu’s father, but she had used her father’s hospitalization as an excuse to decline and mentioned that she was scared to be home alone. So, he had Zhou Siyu stay at his place for the New Year. Now, she was finding excuses to prevent him from going to the hospital, which made him suspicious.

Zhou Siyu’s gaze flickered, "That’s not what I mean..."

Gu Jianbin interrupted her, "Siyu, are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Siyu: "..."

She pursed her lips, and after a while, she said, "Jianbin, I’m sorry, I haven’t told my dad that we’re dating. I was planning to bring you to meet him during the New Year, but then he was hospitalized. Now he is sick, and the doctor said he shouldn’t be too agitated. You know, my dad just wants me to focus on my studies. If he finds out I’m in a relationship, he’ll worry I’m not studying enough, so I..."

As she spoke, her eyes began to well up with tears.

Hearing this, Gu Jianbin instantly believed her and not only did he not blame her, he even showed understanding.

"Silly, you could have just told me directly! I thought you were hiding something serious from me."
