Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Boarding the Pirate Ship
Sheng Tang had calmed Jiang Baocu down, feeling a heavy burden lifted from her heart.
On Sunday, she went to see Gu Shiting again.
Running back and forth between the two, it was really exhausting.
Gu Shiting wasn’t in the study doing homework, but was sitting in the living room pretending to read a book, glancing at the front door now and then.
His sister and Song Chen were also there, occupying the two ends of the sofa, talking about trivial matters.
When Sheng Tang arrived, Gu Shiting’s eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly stood up to greet her at the door.
Gu Shiyan: "His reaction is very familiar."
Song Chen: "Familiar in what way?"
"My aunt’s dog’s reaction is exactly the same every time she comes home," Gu Shiyan said. "Really, the eyes and actions are identical."
Song Chen: "..."
In Gu Shiyan’s mind, Gu Shiting was like a little dog raised by Sheng Tang, both clingy and capable of acting cute.
"Sister Feifei, you’re off today?" Sheng Tang greeted Gu Shiyan as she walked in.
Gu Shiyan laughed, "Yes, the production wrapped up, so I’m giving myself a half-month break."
Sheng Tang smiled.
Gu Shiting didn’t want to talk to Song Chen or Gu Shiyan and pulled Sheng Tang upstairs.
They stayed in the study upstairs until it was time for lunch.
During lunch, Gu Shiyan said to Sheng Tang, "I’m endorsing a wedding dress brand, and they’ve just opened a new store here, which hasn’t officially started business yet.
They’ve just received a new batch of wedding dresses and called me, saying I could go try them on for fun. Tangtang, want to go try?"
Sheng Tang: "..."
Even the sister is helping.
She was fine; why would she try on wedding dresses?
Gu Shiyan urged, "Go on, Tangtang, there’ll be photographers, and we can take some pictures for fun."
Before Sheng Tang could voice her refusal, Gu Shiting answered for her.
"When?" he asked.
Gu Shiyan: "Right after we finish lunch."
"Okay."
Sheng Tang, standing to the side, had her refusal caught in her throat.
Gu Shiting, taking the initiative, then turned to Sheng Tang and asked, "Go, Tangtang?"
You promised first and then asked me?
Is this what you call considerate?
She nodded helplessly, "Alright, let’s go."
Gu Shiyan smiled, looking very pleased, and said to Song Chen, "You should come too."
Song Chen agreed, since he had nothing planned for the afternoon anyway.
On the way there, they rode in a stretch limo, with enough room for all four of them to sit.
Sheng Tang and Song Chen started chatting.
"Found anything yet, Brother Song?" Sheng Tang asked Song Chen.
Song Chen replied, "Lu Yuanyuan’s father got a minor promotion through connections. He really shouldn’t have known anyone there; that’s one lead. As for the school, if it isn’t organized, the principal is the prime suspect. I’m trying to investigate his private accounts."
Gu Shiyan had heard about this too.
She knew it was Sheng Tang’s suspicion.
Even though it was just a hunch, just hearing a bit of it was pretty scary.
"Let’s not talk about these unpleasant things," Gu Shiyan interrupted them, "Today we’re going to look at wedding dresses; think of it as getting married, and let’s talk about happy things."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Song Chen: "..."
The two exchanged glances, feeling like they’d boarded a pirate ship.
However, Gu Shiting sat quietly, looking innocent, not like he was in cahoots with his sister.
The car quickly arrived at the bridal shop.
The shop wasn’t in a mall but was a standalone store on a busy street.
It hadn’t officially opened yet.
A whole row of people, all store staff, stood at the entrance waiting to welcome Gu Shiyan.
There were also reporters and photographers among them.
Sheng Tang lowered her head and quickly followed Gu Shiyan into the bridal shop.
