“I am not a paedophile.” Gu Yu Cheng said leisurely.
“You!”
When Mrs Gu realised what Gu Yu Cheng had said, she almost choked with anger.
“What are you saying! I have only let you and Su Rui get to know each other and socialise with each other. How is it, paedophilia?”
“Su Rui is only 20 years old.” Gu Yu Cheng said calmly as he looked at Mrs Gu.
“What is wrong with being 20 years old? 20 years old is a marriageable age!”
“Also, you said that she is young. The Su family may not even want their daughter to marry so early just because she is young.” Mrs Gu glared at her son discontentedly and said.
Today, she managed to interpret Liu Yue’s attitude towards the Gu family.
They allowed her daughter to come over because they think Gu Yu Cheng is quite decent and was willing to help to bring about the marriage only. It was different from those who are rushing to be affiliated with the Gu family as a family member.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. Mrs Gu couldn’t help it and said, “Besides, you said Rui Rui is young. What about the previous people I had introduced to you? Their age was suitable, their conditions…”
When the topic of conditions was mentioned, Mrs Gu paused for a moment.
It might be because a filter has been applied, but ever since Yu Jing met Su Rui, she doesn’t feel like those young ladies from affluent families were that great anymore.
It is mainly because whenever they see Gu Yu Cheng, they would just want to stick themselves to him. Heh, they are even called young ladies from wealthy families, don’t even know what kind of demons and ghosts they are.
Though, that was what Mrs Gu thought, since she is still angry with her son currently, how can she, in front of him, give in to him.
“Their conditions are decent, and it is considered as well-matched in social status. Why didn’t I see you take a fancy to any one of them ah?” Mrs Gu said stubbornly as she glanced at Gu Yu Cheng.
When Gu Yu Cheng heard this, his gaze became deep, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
“Well-matched in social status?” Gu Yu Cheng suddenly sneered with sarcasm.
“If you don’t want to see your so-called status quo relations bankrupt, you can continue.” He said coldly as he grabbed his coat and walked out.
Well-matched in social status. There is nothing wrong with this phrase.
However, the matter that happened that year is a knot in Mrs Gu’s heart. When she heard her son said, Mrs Gu’s facial expression changed, and she felt sad and frustrated.
“Gu Yu Cheng, where are you going without eating your meal?”
“The company.”
After Mrs Gu saw Gu Yu Cheng leave, she was so angry that she sat on the sofa frustratedly.
“Tell me, how did I encounter such an unfilial son!” Mrs Gu couldn’t resist and continued to grumble, “That year when the Bai family went bankrupt, that was Tang Jing Hua’s own fault for trusting the wrong person. It has nothing to do with our Gu family or with me!”
“I only said that the Tang family’s bankruptcy was sooner or later and to let him don’t get involved in this situation, what’s wrong with that!”
“Cough, Madam, the young master was young and impulsive then. He misunderstood you.” The steward that stood by the side comforted her.
It was just that this knot hadn’t been undone for so many years. Indeed, it wasn’t a matter of concern.
“Madam, you can find an opportunity to talk with the young master about what had happened before and remove the misunderstanding. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
The steward’s words made sense, but Mrs Gu was still angry. How would she be able to listen to that advice?
“Explain. He, himself, didn’t understand the situation properly and just blamed me for it. Why should I explain it to him?” Mrs Gu said displeasingly.
“Besides, will he listen to me when I tell him?” Mrs Gu was still indignant and added, “You see, what a decent girl Su Rui is, and he still shows this attitude!”
As he heard this, the steward couldn’t help but laugh.
“I don’t think you should worry too much about this, Madam,” said the housekeeper after a pause. “I think the young master seemed to have a favourable impression of Miss Su, who has visited today.”
This kind of favourable impression is not necessarily that he likes the person. However, at least it isn’t because he disdains her.
Moreover, the steward noticed a detail when Gu Yu Cheng returned home. Usually, when the young master returns back, he would immediately take off his tie habitually. But, today, he didn’t and instead asked if there were any guests at home.
This alone shows how the young master expresses his respect for that ‘guest’.
“There is also another point. Madam, have you noticed?”
“What?”
“The young master remembered that Miss Su is 20 years old this year.”
Yu Jing pondered as she heard that, and reacted, her eyes were gleaming.
Mrs Gu can guarantee that Gu Yu Cheng wouldn’t remember the information about the other party from a blind date that he doesn’t care about, not to mention the age, he wouldn’t even know the name of the person.
However, this time, it is intriguing how Gu Yu Cheng remembered Su Rui’s age so clearly.
“Like what you have said, I don’t need to worry anymore.” Mrs Gu smiled as she said. It seems that Mrs Gu’s anger has dissipated, and she has returned to her usual smart and sophisticated appearance.
On the other side, after Gu Yu Cheng left the Gu family’s house, he drove in the company’s direction.
Gu Yu Cheng has a residence in that area.
Just that, soon after the car was driven, he saw a familiar figure on the side of the road.
…
“Uncle Zhang, how long will it roughly take?” Su Rui stood in a safe area not far from the car as she checked the time on her cell phone.
She didn’t expect that not long after the driver picked her up and left the Gu family’s house, the car had a flat tire.
“It will take a while to change the tire. Don’t worry, Miss. I have already made a call to the house. There will be another car from the house that will fetch Miss. It would be here soon in roughly ten minutes.”
Ten minutes?
Su Rui checked the time again and frowned slightly.
Just then, a car stopped behind their car.
Su Rui was a little surprised to see the person that came out of the car.
“Gu Yu Cheng?”
