Chapter 209 She is so dazzling
Chapter 209 She is so dazzling
Tan Yifei!
This unique introduction finally reminded Gu Zhiyao.
An awkward expression crossed her face, and she quickly said, "Oh, it was you. I'm sorry, I..."
"It's nothing." Tan Yifei quickly shook his head, completely overwhelmed with joy and excitement at reuniting with her. Yes, he was really excited; the excitement was indescribable.
After a while, he looked at Niu Niu and said, "Niu Niu, is she your daughter? Was she the child you were pregnant with back then? But she told me she's four years old this year, the timeline doesn't seem to match up."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zhiyao simply said, "This is the second child."
"The second child?" Tan Yifei was taken aback. Was that the same child she had given birth to when she became pregnant again so soon after?
Is this child also that man's?
I never imagined she loved that man so much.
"Mom, what is a second child? Do you mean you have another child, my older brother or sister? But I don't see any?" Niu Niu suddenly shouted.
Gu Zhiyao turned her attention back to her daughter and said, "Niu Niu, Mom will talk to you later. By the way, Mr. Tan, I'm sorry, Niu Niu is a bit naughty and may have bothered you. Also, thank you for being so patient with her."
"It's alright, Niu Niu is very cute, I like her very much." Tan Yifei's face was full of joy. "Are you here for tourism, or are you planning to settle down here?"
"I settled down here. I immigrated here five years ago after giving birth to that child."
Tan Yifei's heart skipped a beat again. So, Niu Niu might not be that man's child?
By the way, Niu Niu just mentioned her father. Did he remarry?
Yes, she bought her wedding dress alone back then, without a groom, which means that man didn't want to marry her.
Niu Niu's father is definitely not that man.
Regardless, this was something that made Tan Yifei feel disappointed and frustrated.
She immigrated here five years ago, and he happened to be studying here at the time. They haven't run into each other all these years. Is it possible that they are destined to be together but not meant to be?
"Brother Yifei!" Niu Niu's sweet voice brought Tan Yifei back from his reverie. "Are you unhappy? You look very sad. Don't be like this. Let me treat you to dinner."
The little girl didn't consult her mother at all, and Gu Zhiyao couldn't stop her in time, so she could only sweat profusely.
Actually, she didn't really want to get involved with Tan Yifei. It wasn't that he was a bad person; after not seeing him for several years, he still had that clean and kind aura, and his speech and behavior were still very elegant. But she always felt that she shouldn't get involved with him.
But Niu Niu had already suggested that, regardless of the circumstances, she should indeed treat the person to a meal to express her gratitude.
Gu Zhiyao then remembered to call Aunt Hua. When Aunt Hua learned that Niu Niu was alright, she was so relieved that she almost broke down.
“Aunt Hua, Niu Niu has met a friend who is also from China. They plan to have dinner together at that Chinese restaurant. You can go directly there, and we will go from this side.”
"Okay, I'll go get a seat and wait for you!"
"Ah."
"Let's go. Do you know that restaurant?" Actually, Gu Zhiyao also wanted to know why Tan Yifei was in Canada—was he traveling, or…?
Tan Yifei, ever understanding, replied, "Yes, I know her. I've eaten there a few times before. The owner is very nice. It just so happens that we're from the same province. She lives in Rongcheng, which is right next to Yuncheng. I came here to study after the college entrance examination five years ago, and I received my doctorate in classical studies last month."
"Congratulations," Gu Zhiyao said.
Everyone returned to the large shopping mall and went to the Chinese restaurant.
No sooner had she sat down than someone came over to greet Gu Zhiyao. It was the restaurant owner. "Mayor Gu, it really is you. I thought I had mistaken you for someone else."
Seeing the proprietress's delighted and clearly admiring expression, Gu Zhiyao was a little confused, but she still smiled at her.
The proprietress picked up the menu and presented it to Gu Zhiyao, "Mayor Gu, please see what you would like to eat. All dishes today are on the house."
"Uh, no, I can't give you a free meal," Gu Zhiyao quickly declined.
“It’s alright. Firstly, you are Chinese like us, and secondly, you have done many good things for the people. Our Chinese community is full of people talking about you and we are proud of you! Since you took office, we Chinese have become much more confident in our speech, and those foreigners no longer dare to look down on us like before!” the proprietress said.
Although Chinese people are scattered all over the world and have achieved brilliant success in every country they visit due to their diligence and wisdom, they are still viewed with racial discrimination by some arrogant Westerners. No matter how outstanding the Chinese are, they will still look down on them.
Until now, Gu Zhiyao, a Chinese woman, has come into everyone's view. She is so amazing, so capable, and so dazzling. She has broken the prejudice and arrogance of some Westerners, so everyone is very happy and supports her.
Gu Zhiyao naturally understood these situations. When she first came here, she personally experienced the feeling of being discriminated against and bullied. In the past five years, she has walked this path with more hardship and effort than any Westerner!
Moved by the landlady's words, Gu Zhiyao started chatting with her, which allowed her to investigate and gather some information.
Meanwhile, Tan Yifei, who was sitting on the side, felt another earth-shaking tremor!
Mayor Gu?
She's the mayor?
God!
I absolutely can't believe it!
Although he could tell at a glance that she was full of wisdom and knew that her life was bound to be extraordinary, he never imagined that she would become such a dazzling person.
At her age and gender, it's rare to see someone become mayor in China, let alone in the West where most people are prejudiced and arrogant!
Tan Yifei became excited and couldn't help but want to know everything about Gu Zhiyao over the past five years. However, he was too embarrassed to search for information in front of Gu Zhiyao, so he could only try his best to suppress his excitement.
After Gu Zhiyao finished chatting with the proprietress, he couldn't wait to ask, "You... are you the mayor?"
Seeing Tan Yifei's shocked and excited expression, Gu Zhiyao smiled slightly and said, "You know about the election for the new government team that just ended in D City, right? I was fortunate enough to be elected as the executive vice mayor!"
Despite his father's high position, Tan Yifei disliked politics from a young age and paid no attention to it, especially since it involved another country. He had seen news reports about the election of new government members, but he didn't pay much attention to it, since he felt it was none of his business.
Who knew she was actually the executive vice mayor!
If he had paid attention sooner, could he have known more about her fascinating life? Perhaps he could have even helped her out?
Tan Yifei's heart was surging with emotion, and he couldn't stop for a long time.
