Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: Meeting is Fate

”Wait! Sister Qiushu, may I treat you to dinner? Meeting is fate! Besides, you rescued me, let me at least express my gratitude! Otherwise, I’ll feel really bad.” Gu Shuangshuang invited Lin Qiushu once again.

No matter if Lin Qiushu had any ulterior motives, she had saved her, and she always needed to show her gratitude.

As the saying goes, for a drop given, a gushing spring is owed!

Especially for saving a life?

”There’s really no need...” When Lin Qiushu saved Gu Shuangshuang, it had indeed been by chance.

She had hastened over only because she heard someone crying for help.

Previously, she had also fallen into water in this place and had even suggested improvements to the nursing home.

But the nursing home had said that their management scope was only limited to the nursing home itself; the surrounding area was all natural.

Even this path through the woods had been formed by people walking it frequently.

So today, when she heard someone crying for help, she immediately knew it was here, so she quickly ran over and jumped into the water to rescue Gu Shuangshuang.

”This...” Gu Shuangshuang always felt uneasy owing someone a favor. She was thinking about whether to gift Lin Qiushu if she refused the dinner invitation, but then she heard Lin Qiushu change her mind and accept.

”Then let’s meet at the nursing home’s restaurant at seven.” Lin Qiushu said.

”Okay.” Gu Shuangshuang happily agreed and dashed back to her room.

At that moment, An Hao had just woken up and was rubbing her sleepy eyes.

”An Hao, guess who I met this afternoon?” Gu Shuangshuang sat at An Hao’s bedside and spoke to her.

”Lin Qiushu!” Without even thinking, An Hao could guess.

”Right! I had a brief chat with her! I inquired about her occupation! Guess what she does?” Gu Shuangshuang couldn’t help but tease.

”Just tell me! Where all these guesses come from?” An Hao, just waking up, wasn’t fully operational mentally yet.

”She’s in business! She owns a jade store! So, her curiosity about the bracelet on your wrist makes sense, right? Maybe she thinks the bracelet you’re wearing is indeed a fine piece of jade or perhaps a very rare one indeed?” Gu Shuangshuang analyzed.

”Did she tell you that?”

”Yeah. If you don’t believe it, we can visit the Baozhen Jade Store sometime later. That store is owned by her.”

”Jade Store? How heavy is that investment? She’s only a few years older than me; where could she get so much money? Either she’s a con artist, or she comes from a distinguished family!” Suddenly, An Hao became a bit more interested in her.

”By the way! I invited her to dinner tonight, do you want to join? Then you can observe her more closely?” Gu Shuangshuang asked.

”No. Until I understand her background and intentions, I refuse to have close contact with her!” Interested as she was, she was not curious enough to get close to a stranger unnecessarily.

”Fine. Have dinner by yourself. I’ll report back to you afterwards!”

”Okay.”

The last ray of sunlight dipped below the horizon, and a fiery red sunset filled half the sky.

An elderly man past his seventies, sat quietly by the window, twirling a string of lustrously green beads in his hand, his gaze fixated on the distant horizon.
