It wouldn't be good if Mu Huan didn't respond to him, so she casually said, "Not many."
In fact, ever since she was young, Mu Huan had practically worked in all kinds of illegal businesses in Yun Cheng. Besides, there was another reason she worked such jobs. She didn't have the time or money to especially study those things outside of her classes. Hence, she'd had to find such places in which to work. For example, if she wanted to learn musical instruments, she would work at a place where she could learn music. If she wanted to learn Taekwondo, she would work at a place where she could be taught Taekwondo.
When she was younger, she would work for others for nothing. When she got older and would not be considered a child, she would work for whatever she wanted to learn, no matter how much money she had to pay. When she was willing to endure hard work and not bear grudges, employees would naturally be willing to use her. Most people in this world loved talent. Furthermore, Mu Huan was very good at talking. All the masters who worked at her workplace liked her very much. When they saw that she did not have the money to study, they would teach her for free. Hence, after working there, she would eventually learn the essence of that place.
She knew a lot of things. They were all very complicated and useful.
Gu Chenyi instinctively said, "I already know of a lot, so how can you have only a few?!"
Everyone instantly turned to look at Gu Chenyi. He was well aware of Mu Huan's matters?
Gong Zeye and the rest only knew that Mu Huan had been chased out of the family since she was young and had had a tough life. She depended on her granny and relied on her work to survive. However, they did not check on her any deeper.
Hence, upon hearing Gu Chenyi's words, they were all curious. They were curious as to how he had found out about Mu Huan's troubles. Furthermore, from his tone, it seemed like he was very familiar with Mu Huan.
Seeing this, Mu Huan hurriedly said, "I've been classmates with Chenyi for three years."
Everyone broke out into a cold sweat upon hearing this. Their student lives were so far in the past that they had forgotten that the two of them were high school classmates! Having been classmates with her for three years, he naturally knew a lot about Sis-in-law.
Gu Chenyi's gaze became even more complex and gloomy as he watched Mu Huan explain their past relationship.
"Where did you find so much time to work so hard?" When she was in school, she often slept on the table. He thought that she was bored with class, but now, it seemed to him like she had spent all her sleep time on work.
Mu Huan didn't expect Gu Chenyi to ask such a thing."There's always a way to squeeze more time here and there!"
In fact, it was just as Gu Chenyi had thought. Mu Huan had used all the time that she should have been sleeping to work. After she turned 14 years old, as her grandma's suppression of her granny became more and more vicious, her granny's outpatient consultation did not have many patients coming in. Let alone earning money, she could barely afford the rent. Mu Huan could only sleep for four hours a day and spend the rest of her time earning money to maintain her life.
Just as Gu Chenyi was about to say something...
"Alright, alright, Huo Li, we can compete now!" Mu Huan changed the subject.
Seeing this, Gu Chenyi did not probe further. If he continued, it would only make him feel even more regretful and even more foolish! He had always said that he liked her and wanted to give her the best of everything, but he did not pay attention to her predicament. He had only pushed her away because of what others had said...
The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and got off the horse.
Gu Qianru, who was watching from the stands, felt her heart ache when she saw her son coming up. She had always felt that her son had not let go of his feelings for her, but now, it seemed that not only did he not let go, but he was also still deeply involved.
But it was impossible between him and Xiao Huan.
