Chapter 82: 082. Our “third sister-in-law” seems to be shy
Author: Liaowumian MACHINE TRANSLATION
With Gu Yanqing’s confident tone, Song Beibei knew that no matter how she protested, it would be useless.
She could only endure it in secret.
Actually, she didn’t object to going to the company. That was the kingdom that her father had conquered.
If Gu Yanqing really didn’t let her go, she would still be anxious.
However, Song Beibei didn’t expect that Gu Yanqing would let her go for an internship when she was only a freshman.
“What’s the second thing? ” Song Beibei asked impatiently.
Gu Yanqing closed the document and raised his head. His Gaze was calm and his tone was gentle. “Tomorrow night, it’s the weekend. Come with me to attend a birthday banquet first. ”
Song Beibei immediately rejected him. “Gu Yanqing, we had an agreement. I won’t accompany you to any private gatherings or business events. Therefore, I can’t agree to this. ”
Gu Yanqing looked at her calmly. “I know what you’re worried about. It’s not an ordinary birthday banquet. It’s the 80th birthday of the old director of Shengmei orphanage. There’s no media, so it won’t be publicized. This time, only the children that the old director brought up by himself will be celebrating his birthday. Most of those people are overseas, and you don’t know them. ”
Song Beibei thought for a moment. “Alright then. ”
Song Beibei actually knew about the saint beauty orphanage because Gu Yanqing came from that orphanage.
She also knew that ever since Gu Yanqing took over the Pearl Group, they had established the Saint Beauty Foundation in the company. Every year, they would donate a sum of money to the Saint Beauty Orphanage in the name of the company.
Gu Yanqing would go to the Saint Beauty Orphanage a few times a year. Song Beibei would also go with him a long time ago.
Therefore, she was not unfamiliar with the old director of the Saint Beauty Orphanage.
He was a kind and amiable grandfather.
However, Song Beibei had not been there for a few years.
The next day.
Song Beibei slept until the sun was high in the sky as usual.
After lunch, they set off for Shengmei Orphanage in the afternoon.
Because Shengmei orphanage was in the neighboring city, even if they drove, it would still take four hours.
Zhong Junjie also went with them and happened to be the driver.
Zhong Junjie also came from that orphanage.
Song Beibei sat in the back seat and dozed off, falling asleep soon.
When she opened her eyes, she was already at the Saint beauty orphanage. It was already evening.
The Saint Beauty Orphanage was a church orphanage. It was actually not very big, and most of the children in it were children abandoned by their parents.
Just like Gu Yanqing, the old director had once brought him back from a small hospital in a ruined town in another city when he was preaching.
It seemed that because he did not have the money to treat his illness, his heartless parents had simply abandoned him in the hospital.
At that time, he had a heart and lung infection and almost lost his life. However, after the director brought him back, he was sent to a big hospital for treatment and miraculously recovered.
The Birthday Party was held in a small auditorium.
When Song Beibei went over, a lot of people had already arrived.
The old director was still wearing a black church uniform. He was surrounded by a group of people and looked no different from a few years ago. However, his hair was white and seemed to have a few more wrinkles
…
When Song Beibei and Gu Yanqing entered, the people inside also saw them.
After a moment of silence, someone immediately greeted them, “isn’t this third brother Gu? ”
Gu Yanqing raised his head slightly and walked over.
He greeted the old director first, “director, happy birthday. ”
The old director was obviously very happy to see Gu Yanqing. He patted Gu Yanqing’s shoulder, “Yanqing is here. I’m so happy. It’s been a while since we last met. I’ve missed you so much. ”
Someone beside him immediately echoed, “just now, the director was still nagging me about when third brother would arrive. ”
Zhong Junjie immediately went forward from the crowd, “the director is biased. I came back with third brother. You only have eyes for third brother. ”
Zhong Junjie, who was about 1.8 meters tall, actually rubbed himself against the old headmaster.
The old headmaster patted Zhong Junjie’s back and laughed, “Little Jie is here too. You follow your third brother all day long, just like when you were a child. If he comes back, how can you not come? ”
Song Beibei was a little stunned when she saw this scene. She had never seen such a scene before.
Both Gu Yanqing and Zhong Junjie were big shots in the company, but in front of the old headmaster, they seemed to have become children.
Zhong Junjie actually knew how to act coquettishly, which really opened Song Beibei’s eyes.
Moreover, Zhong Junjie usually called Gu Yanqing boss, but when he came back, he always called him third brother.
Actually, Song Beibei didn’t know much about this.
It seemed that among the children that the old director personally adopted, Gu Yanqing was ranked third.
Zhong Junjie said that he seemed to be ranked sixth.
Song Beibei also knew who was ranked fifth, but she didn’t know anything else.
She had asked Zhong Junjie several times in the past, but Zhong Junjie didn’t seem to be willing to tell her about their childhood life in the orphanage, let alone Gu Yanqing.
Later, after that incident, Song Beibei could not be bothered to ask anymore.
“This should be Beibei. ”
Song Beibei was having wild thoughts when she suddenly heard her name. She suddenly came back to her senses and quickly greeted obediently, “GRANDPA Director, I’m Beibei. Do you still remember me? ”
Song Beibei still had a good impression of the old director.
Song Beibei remembered that when she was very young, every time she came over, the old director would give her a few pieces of the orphanage’s Special Malt Candy. Song Beibei especially liked it. That sweet and sticky taste, Song Beibei still remembered it even now.
The old director smiled and said, “how could I not remember? Grandfather’s memory is very good. You haven’t come over for five years. I didn’t expect you to grow so big all of a sudden. You’re eighteen this year, right? ”
Song Beibei nodded. “Yes, I’m eighteen this year. ”
The old director smiled and looked at Gu Yanqing. “then have you two settled the matter? ”
Gu Yanqing smiled. “It’s settled. We’ve already received the marriage certificate. The wedding is still early, and Beibei is still in school. When we graduate, I still want to ask the director to be our marriage witness. ”
The old director laughed happily. “Then I have to live longer. ”
Everyone also congratulated Gu Yanqing. Someone started calling Song Beibei, “little third sister-in-law. ”
Probably because Song Beibei was young, the word “little” was added in front of it.
However, Song Beibei couldn’t get used to the word “little” .
Her face unconsciously turned red like a ripe tomato.
Someone teased, “our little third sister-in-law seems to be shy. ”
He turned to look at Gu Yanqing with a nonchalant expression. He gently wrapped Song Beibei’s hand and stopped those people, “alright, stop fooling around. Beibei is still young, don’t tease her all the time. ”
“You’re protecting her already? Third Brother has never been so attentive to sister Wanjing before. ”
When Song Beibei heard this name, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and her fingers turned stiff.
Even Gu Yanqing noticed it and turned to ask, “what’s wrong? ”
“You little brats, what are you talking about me for? ”
At the same time, a crisp female voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone looked towards the door and were overjoyed. “Sister Wanjing, you’re back. Aren’t you in America? ”
Song Beibei’s gaze also landed on that woman.
The woman was dressed in a neat professional suit and was holding a black briefcase. She looked a little worn out.
Her hair was shoulder-length and her makeup was meticulous. In fact, her facial features were quite exquisite. If one looked carefully, she had the charm of a Jiangnan beauty.
However, between her brows, there was a heroic air that was rarely seen in women. Her entire body had an elite temperament and a powerful aura that was forged from the cruel workplace.
That woman walked over gracefully and stood in front of the old director. “director, Happy Birthday. I rushed over as soon as I got off the plane. Fortunately, I still managed to make it in time to eat a bowl of longevity noodles. ”
When the old director saw her, he was obviously very happy. “Good, good, good. It’s still Wan Jing who is filial and came all the way back to see me. Happy, I’m really happy today. ”
The woman named Wan Jing smiled and exchanged a few words with the people around her.
Then she turned around and faced Gu Yanqing with a smile. “third brother, long time no see. ”
Gu Yanqing seemed to have a smile on his face as well. He asked faintly, “you’re back? ”
“I’m back, ” she answered.
“It’s good that you’re back. ”
The woman suddenly took a step forward and hugged Gu Yanqing. Her tone changed slightly. “third brother, I miss you very much. ”
Gu Yanqing’s expression did not change at all. There was a hint of indulgence in his eyes. “Aren’t you back now? Why are you acting like you were when you were young? ”
The people around him were not surprised at all.
Zhong Junjie even jeered from the side. “fifth sister, do you only want third brother? US younger brothers and sisters have always been following your lead. We miss you very much. We can’t just hug third brother. You’re so biased. ”
Wan Jing let go of Gu Yanqing and ravished Zhong Junjie’s hair. “You rascal, you’re still a chatterbox. ”
After saying that, she hugged Zhong Junjie forcefully.
Zhong Junjie was clearly taller than her by a head, but in front of her, his aura was a lot shorter.
Song Beibei stood at the side and watched all of this quietly.
