Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 637: Noble Lady

"Gu Lingling, I find that you have a lot of secrets." On the way, Wen Jing asked her with a smile, "You even know Professor Zhou, are you the little girl he talks about?"

Gu Lingling smiled.

"Yeah, Lingling, what else are you hiding from us? Spill it, so we won’t be shocked." Zhang Zhaodi said.

"Really nothing." Gu Lingling replied helplessly with a shake of her head.

"Do you also know Meng Yufei?" Tong Sha asked.

"I don’t know her." Gu Lingling answered.

But Tong Sha clearly didn’t believe it. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

If she doesn’t know her, why would she say she’s heard of her and wants to hang out together?

That Meng Yufei, Tong Sha had heard of her. The aloof goddess, with a good family background, wouldn’t just play around with anyone.

Who would believe she doesn’t know her?

Because she promised Mr. Zhou to have dinner at his place, Gu Lingling went out after tidying up a bit in her dorm.

"Really envious." Zhang Zhaodi said as she watched her leave.

"Is Gu Lingling really from the countryside?" Tong Sha asked Zhang Zhaodi, puzzled.

"She said so herself." Zhang Zhaodi turned to ask her, "What’s up?"

"Nothing." Tong Sha said as she packed her things, "Just feels like she doesn’t seem like she’s from the countryside."

"Yeah, I think so too." Zhang Zhaodi said, then asked Wen Jing, "Don’t you feel the same? Lingling feels like a well-educated lady from a good family, doesn’t feel petty at all."

Petty?

Tong Sha was irritated by those words.

Among the four in the dorm, only she and Gu Lingling were from the countryside.

So was she talking about her?

A lady from a good family?

Oh, please... how many ladies from good families has she met? Saying those things.

Tong Sha regretted bringing up this topic.

That wasn’t her intention at all.

"Anyway, as long as she’s a good person, what does it matter if she’s from the countryside or the city." Wen Jing didn’t think it mattered, "By the way, it’s just the three of us left now, what are we eating for dinner?"

"I have something tonight, won’t be joining you for dinner." Tong Sha said awkwardly.

Wen Jing’s family obviously wasn’t lacking, and even Zhang Zhaodi’s situation was better than hers. Having a meal or two with them occasionally was fine, but if she always ate with them, her allowance wouldn’t last.

Wen Jing didn’t insist, anyway, after lunch, there’s just one more class this afternoon, and with no classes tomorrow, she could go home for some good food.

Gu Lingling had already arrived at Mr. Zhou’s home.

"Lingling’s here, come in and wash your hands, try my cooking later." Mr. Zhou said happily upon seeing her.

Huh?

So, is Grandpa Zhou changing careers? Is he becoming a chef?

Gu Lingling was quite curious.

"Ever since we went to the vegetable market last time, I discovered something very interesting." Mr. Zhou clumsily stir-fried dishes, "Turns out, going to the market is quite an interesting thing."

And then it was like opening Pandora’s box.

First, he became obsessed with buying groceries, and now he’s researching cuisine.

Through these past few days of practice, Mr. Zhou discovered he has quite a knack for this.

So, after finishing the new student ceremony, he couldn’t wait to invite Gu Lingling to taste the dishes he made.

Although, he only made two dishes.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and Mapo tofu.

Two homely dishes that don’t require much knife skill.
