Chapter 97 I liked it the moment I saw it

As annoying as that scoundrel's mouth was, his outburst did alleviate a lot of Lu Fengqing's tension.

Gu Suixing took Lu Fengqing to see Gu Zhenying first.

Gu Zhenying worked in a cultural troupe in her early years. Later, she unexpectedly became pregnant with her second child. In order to give birth to this child, she had to leave the cultural troupe. After that, she lived with her husband in City C. She would only return to City A for a period of time during holidays or when her elders celebrated their birthdays.

Early in the morning, the servants were busy sweeping and cleaning in the yard. When they saw guests coming, a servant immediately went inside to inform the host.

A moment later, a well-dressed lady trotted out of the house.

"Sui Xing," the woman called out, her eyes instantly reddening.

Gu Suixing led Lu Fengqing to her, looked down at her, and smiled, "Auntie, look, I brought her to see you."

Lu Fengqing looked at the woman in front of her who resembled Xie Qingtang by four or five points and called out, "Auntie."

Six years have passed, and we've finally met again.

Gu Zhenying looked at Lu Fengqing, her eyes glistening with tears, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes. Good, good. Just as Sui Xing said, she's very beautiful. I liked her as soon as I saw her."

Lu Fengqing was taken aback. She hadn't expected that the scoundrel would introduce himself like that in front of his family. It was as if the dog could still utter some decent human words.

"Come in and have a seat." Gu Zhenying took Lu Fengqing's other hand and led them inside.

The living room was decorated in an antique style, and the furniture was all made of solid wood. Lu Fengqing had no knowledge of this kind of wood and could not tell what kind of wood it was, but she could tell that it was very valuable.

"Sui Xing is here." A middle-aged man wearing glasses, who looked very refined, walked in through the back door of the living room. He paused for a moment when he saw Lu Fengqing standing next to Gu Sui Xing. "And who is this?"

Gu Zhenying said with a smile, "Sui Xing's girlfriend."

Seeing that Gu Suixing's parents were not nervous, Lu Fengqing felt a sense of tension when she saw his aunt and uncle. Her voice trembled slightly when she called out to Gu Suixing's uncle.

Gu Zhenying understood and gently reassured her, "Don't be nervous, Sui Xing's uncle and I don't eat people."

Lu Fengqing: "..."

Gu Suixing, that jerk, not only didn't help her, but also made sarcastic remarks: "She got up at five in the morning, not sleeping herself and not letting anyone else sleep, changed more than a dozen outfits, she wasn't this serious when we went out on a date. Don't try to persuade her, just let her be nervous, otherwise she'll have nothing better to do."

Lu Fengqing: "…………"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Zhenying slapped him. "What's wrong with changing a dozen outfits? Even if you change a hundred, you'd still have to go with me."

Xie Chaokun nodded in agreement and said with emotion, "Back when your aunt came home with me to meet my parents, she didn't sleep a wink the night before. Not to mention a dozen outfits, she even agonized for two hours over whether to part her bangs to the left or right. Your girlfriend is quite easy to take care of."

Gu Zhenying: "..."

Gu Zhenying, not to be outdone, exposed her husband's dark history: "Do you think things were any better when you came back with me to meet my mother? You stayed up late at night, ironed a suit seven or eight times, and even burned several holes in it, and then you still blindly wore it the next day."

Xie Chaokun: "..."

Seeing that her husband remained silent, Gu Zhenying snorted and looked at Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing with a smile, "Aside from the old man's birthday banquet, there haven't been any happy events in the family for a long time. When are you two planning to get married?"

Gu Suixing leaned back in his chair, casually placing one hand behind Lu Fengqing, and said leisurely, "Let's talk about it when my dad wakes up."

Mentioning Gu Zhenjun caused the air in the otherwise pleasant living room to momentarily freeze.

Lu Fengqing's face darkened.

Since their reunion, both of them have been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding this topic.

This was the first time Gu Suixing had mentioned his father to her.

She never mentioned it, not because she didn't care, but because she was afraid of hurting herself and him.

A flicker of sadness crossed Gu Zhenying's eyes. When he looked up again, he frowned and his tone became stern: "If your father doesn't wake up, you'll never get married for the rest of your life?"

Gu Suixing smiled faintly, his eyes cold. "I've only ever loved one person in my life, and I've always dreamed of marrying her. What can I do if Grandpa won't allow it? He's always doted on me since I was little, and I can't afford to upset him to the point of harm. This kind of rebellious thing is best left to my dad; he's experienced."

Gu Zhenying's brows did not relax; instead, they furrowed even more.

Ever since she married into the Xie family, she had never returned to the Gu family. It would be a lie to say that she didn't hate her father. If it weren't for his philandering and having one illegitimate child after another, her mother's life wouldn't have been so difficult, and she and her younger brother wouldn't have had such a hard childhood.

When they were young, he ignored them and their siblings, but when they grew up, he started to meddle in their affairs.

Thinking about how he had been stopped by the old man's men when he tried to see his younger brother, Gu Zhenying was furious.

But there was nothing they could do. Zhenjun was not only her younger brother, but also the old man's biological son. The old man wouldn't let them see him, and they couldn't do anything about it.

If she could, she would truly wish she hadn't been born into the Gu family, and that the heartless man wasn't her father.

Xie Chaokun sighed.

He knew about the messy things the Gu family had done, and he also knew his father-in-law's character, but there was nothing he could do about it.

There are some people you know perfectly well that they take advantage of their age and act unethically, but you just can't do anything about it.

Of all virtues, filial piety is the most important. No matter how much you hate or dislike someone, they are still your blood relatives, your parents.
