Chapter 56: Giving Someone a Taste of Their Own Medicine (1)

Gu Xin hung up the phone angrily.

Ugh!

She put her cell phone aside unhappily, unable to comprehend what Lu Manman was trying to do. She remembered how this woman had been acting weirdly ever since she got hit by Mo Yuanxiu and had a small accident.

She bit her lip. That woman actually told her to ask Di An about Jiang Yiyao…

This woman must be doing this on purpose!

After ten minutes of hesitation, she picked up her phone again and made a call.

She was a little nervous and could not relax even after hearing the ringtone.

“Hello.” All of a sudden, a gentle male voice could be heard from the other end.

Shocked, she took a while to adjust herself before saying in her normal voice, “Di An, it’s me, Gu Xin.”

There was a pleasant reply after a moment of silence. “Oh, hello.”

“You don’t have to be so polite with me.” Gu Xin smiled. “We grew up together anyway. You, me, and Manman.”

“Mm-hm,” the person on the other end answered. His voice was neither warm nor hot, and there was no emotion in it.

“Di An.”

“Mm?”

“How’s Jiang Yiyao now?” Gu Xin asked directly.

It was not like her to dawdle.

“Jiang Yiyao? You want to know more about her?” Di An seemed a little shocked but quickly understood. “Lu Manman got you to help her find out.”

“You’re still so smart!” Gu Xin exclaimed.

When they were young, three of them had been in the same class. He and Lu Manman had good grades, and both of them took turns getting first and second place in the school. As for her, it was already good enough that she did not get first from the bottom.

“After the video with Wen Yun was exposed, although the media did not harp on Jiang Yiyao, there was still a lot of gossip. My dad told Jiang Yiyao to stay at home and not go out. Since she’s not a biological daughter, she was given the cold shoulder. But she must be feeling terrible. These two days, she has locked herself in her room, and I heard that her eyes are swollen from all the crying.” Di An’s voice was clear and calm.

“Oh, alright, I understand. Thank you.”

“You don’t have to be so polite with me. Even though we grew up together, you’re still my future sister-in-law. We’ll meet more often in the future.” Di An’s voice was gentle and sweet.

Gu Xin nodded, and after a while, she asked, “Di An, how have you been overseas all these years?”

“It’s alright.”

“When are you bringing a girlfriend back?”

“It’ll depend on fate.” Di An smiled.

“Mm-hm,” Gu Xin answered.

The two of them fell silent. Gu Xin didn’t know what else to say to Di An. Her carefree life in the past had turned awkward because of the relationship they had before it even started.

Now that her status had changed, so had her emotions.

“Gu Xin, I have something to attend to. I’m hanging up,” Di An said suddenly.

“Alright, go ahead. Bye,” Gu Xin hurriedly said.

“Bye.”

Di An looked at the words: call ended. He had hung up right after saying goodbye as if he was fleeing.

She smiled helplessly.

Her heart went cold.

…

Gu Xin took a deep breath after hanging up.

Stay calm.

If she got married, she might even have to live under the same roof as Di An. If she could not stay calm, how was she going to have a happy marriage with Di Yi? So many years had passed, and all her childhood memories were gone. What was there to think about!

She calmed herself down and called Lu Manman. “Lu Manman!”
