Xu Weilai answered the call, and she heard a warm, familiar voice that cheered her up instantly.
“Sister, I’m back in the country! Let’s meet tonight at our usual place at eight. Don’t be late!”
“All right.”
A smile lingered on Xu Weilai’s face even after she disconnected the call.
The caller was her good friend, Xiao Chun. She was Gu Yu’s sister. More accurately put, she was Gu Yu’s G.o.d-sister.
When Gu Yu was ten years old, his parents pa.s.sed away in an accident. The emotional impact of losing his son and daughter-in-law had been too great for Mr. Gu Sr. to bear, and his physical and mental health had begun to take a beating.
Xiao Chun’s mother, Bai Yufang, was a famous psychiatrist. She had been hired to treat Mr. Gu Sr., and it was thanks to her company and therapy that Mr. Gu Sr. had managed to come out of his grief.
Mr. Gu Sr. had felt an intense connection with her and, acting on his empathy, had recognized her as a G.o.d-daughter. In that sense, Xiao Chun was as good as half a granddaughter to Mr. Gu Sr. and developed a sibling relations.h.i.+p with Gu Yu.
She had met Xiao Chun for the first time at Gu Yu’s 18th birthday party. They had clicked immediately like old friends and became bosom buddies in no time. In the past, Xiao Chun had even given her suggestions on ways to attract Gu Yu’s attention. In a way, she had witnessed Xu Weilai’s entire journey regarding her feelings for Gu Yu.
Because of the broken engagement three years ago, Xu Weilai had become the laughingstock within her social circle. Girls she had once seen as friends had turned their noses up at her and kept their distance. Only Xiao Chun had maintained their friends.h.i.+p.
Xu Weilai had had her secretary empty out her schedule for the night. At seven o’clock, she left the office and drove to their usual place that they had agreed to meet at–Gu Garden Country Club.
The Gu Garden Country Club was one of the many properties owned by the Gu family and was very exclusive. Back then, Xiao Chun, Gu Yu, and she had hung out there often.
Since coming back from overseas, Xu Weilai hadn’t stepped foot into the property. Subconsciously, she just wanted to escape all the places that triggered her memories.
