1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 64 Taking Revenge for Your Little Lover

"Who am I running errands for that I got so tanned?"

Wang Fan complained, "Do you think it's easy for me to squeeze into the train station and buy a ticket in this sweltering heat?"

"I picked up a torn pair of pants while I was at it, to make up for the loss?"

Gu Bin teased him with a smile, then went to the crashed computer and skillfully removed the case from the main unit.

"This is definitely not something you found."

Wang Fan proudly showed off: "You don't understand, do you? This is called trendy, hip-hop style. My older sister specially bought it back from Shanghai."

Are you sure she wasn't insulting you?

Gu Bin gave him a look as if he were an idiot, while continuing to work with his hands: "In her eyes, you probably only deserve to dress like this."

"Cough cough."

Wang Fan coughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject: "Guess who I saw when I passed Black Tiger Spring on my way back from the train station?"

"I don't want to guess."

Gu Bin wasn't in the mood for riddles.

You'd never guess.

Wang Fan couldn't keep things to himself, and his impatient response was enough to provoke him to continue: "I was originally thinking of giving you the train tickets first, but when I got to Black Tiger Spring, I didn't find you and Lin Xiyu. Instead, I saw Zhang Xiaoqian. I was so scared that I thought I saw a ghost in broad daylight. I broke out in a cold sweat."

"I think it's her too."

Gu Bin seemed to have expected this, showing no surprise whatsoever.

"What's going on?"

Wang Fan was baffled: "Wasn't it supposed to be Lin Xiyu filming the documentary? Why was it changed to Zhang Xiaoqian?"

"It was probably my mother's doing."

Gu Bin was certain: "She doesn't allow disobedience and is using Zhang Xiaoqian to force me to make concessions."

"No wonder Zhang Xiaoqian deliberately left out Lin Xiyu." Wang Fan suddenly realized, "So she already knew about the documentary filming."

"Cut~~"

Gu Bin scoffed: "My mother is dreaming. She thinks that by letting Zhang Xiaoqian steal Xiyu's opportunity, she can make me submit. Little does she know that this foolish act is her biggest mistake."

"If Zhang Xiaoqian doesn't get involved, it won't be easy for me to resolve this matter."

"Since she's overestimating herself and insists on meddling, then just wait and see. In less than three days, the production team will have had enough of her spoiled princess attitude. At that point, Director Du and the others will protest to the station manager on their own without me having to intervene, demanding a replacement."

"Amazing, man, you're incredible."

Wang Fan gave a thumbs up, genuinely admiring her: "You were right. I saw Zhang Xiaoqian making a scene at Black Tiger Spring just now."

"They kept blaring that it was too hot during the day, the sun was too strong, and our skin would get tanned, and that we couldn't film between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and Director Du's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot."

"Sun exposure is a minor issue."

Gu Bin scoffed dismissively, "Do you think she can cook, do laundry, or do housework?"

"With her spoiled attitude, needing to be driven to and from school, does she seem like a child who has always been hardworking and endured hardship? Documentaries are supposed to depict the real lives of ordinary people, but this is just fabrication, a poor imitation, showing no self-awareness and deliberately making a fool of herself."

"Ha, Gu Bin, you're really sharp-tongued, you make people feel utterly worthless."

Wang Fan chuckled and teased him with a smile, "I've never seen you so resentful before. Is it because she offended your mistress, and you're standing up for her?"

"You should try one more time."

Gu Bin ignored his teasing, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Call all the classmates who are going to Mount Tai and tell them that the time has been moved up to this Friday."

Wang Fan raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Didn't you say there were too many people hiking on weekends?"

Today is Wednesday.

A dark glint flashed in Gu Bin's eyes: "Director Du and the others can only hold out until Friday at most."
