Chapter 414: Resentment

Gui Qing is such a smart person. When Gui Yan said that, she immediately understood that her father was trying to matchmake people.

Although Gui Qing had not lived with Gui Yan for many years, he knew his character very well. The professor was a literary man, and the arrogance of a scholar was engraved in his bones. Not many people could gain his favor after just one meeting.

However, Jiang Yuxu's self-disciplined and polite character, coupled with his background, made him a killer of his elders.

In Tao Jiu's words, if Jiang Yuxu made his LinkedIn public, the greeting message would explode, and his blind date information would be snatched up by uncles and aunts in the park.

Gui Qing felt that this statement was not an exaggeration. After all, he was the one she liked, and without some capital, he would not be able to attract her.

"Just because someone is single doesn't mean they don't have anyone in their heart." Gui Qing pondered for a moment and said to Gui Yan, "Don't try to match people up with each other until you understand the situation."

"You don't understand this." Gui Yan took a sip of tea. "I've been through this before, and I can tell that he admires you."

Gui Qing was very interested: "How did you see that?"

Gui Yan analyzed: "Yu Xu is a man with a strong sense of propriety. When I invited him to eat with us just now, he would have heard that I was being polite. Given his personality, he would have refused."

"But he agreed, and when I was talking to him just now, his eyes kept looking towards you."

"He's probably observing your reaction, hoping you'll start talking to him."

Gui Qing: "..." I am an emotional master.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Gui Yan, with surprise and inquiry in her eyes.

Gui Yan: "You are young after all, this kind of thing..."

"No wonder my mother fell in love with you." Gui Qing clapped her hands twice. "You are indeed quite capable, Professor Gui. I have a new respect for you."

Gui Yan coughed again and got back to the point: "I also admire Yu Xu, the younger generation. His parents are also good people with high upbringing. They are worthy of you."

"Don't worry about me." Gui Qing waved her hand.

Gui Yan: "Is the person you like better than him?"

Gui Qing: "Dating is not like taking an exam. Being excellent alone is not enough. It depends on the feeling. If I don't have any feelings, I won't bother with him even if he is Jesus."

Gui Yan felt helpless when he heard this: "You are exactly like your mother in this respect."

Gui Qing: "Hmm, otherwise why would she, a rich lady, ignore my grandparents' objections and marry a teacher like you~"

Gui Yan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, "That's right."

He had a very calm temper and was not upset by this incident. He also did not think that he was inferior for marrying Yan Zhici.

They were indeed very much in love at that time, but when they were young they always felt that feelings were more important than anything else and love could overcome all difficulties. However, marriage is never the end of a relationship.

It turns out that it is difficult for two different people to be together until the end.

When Jiang Yuxu came back, he happened to hear the conversation between the father and daughter.

Gui Yan ended the topic after seeing Jiang Yuxu come back. Gui Qing also put away the smile on her face and picked up a piece of blanched lettuce to eat.

Gui Yan couldn't help but say, "It's okay to have another fried shrimp dumpling. You haven't eaten much."

Gui Qing: "No, I have an appointment tonight and can't eat too much."

Seeing how strict she was with herself, Gui Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried: "Do you usually eat so little? Your work intensity is so high, how can your body handle it?"

Gui Qing: "I'm used to it. I occasionally eat an extra meal during holidays."

Gui Yan: "You should take care of your health. You've lost a lot of weight since the last time we met."

Gui Qing made a "hmm" sound to indicate that he heard it.

The last time they met, she had just graduated and still had some baby fat on her face. After working for a few years, she had indeed lost some weight, mainly in her face, while there was not much change in other parts of her body.

Jiang Yuxu drank his tea silently, recalling Gui Qing's eating habits. He couldn't help but wonder who she was going to date in the evening and why she had to eat less to make herself look lighter.

Until the end of the meal, Jiang Yuxu was still thinking about this matter.

"I'm going to go back and change my clothes and put on makeup." Gui Qing put down her chopsticks, checked the time, and said goodbye to Gui Yan, "See you next time if there's a chance."

"Okay, I'll stay for a week this time. I can come find you another day." Gui Yan reminded her, "Drive carefully on the road."

"Okay, bye." Gui Qing waved, picked up her bag and left.

Jiang Yuxu once again experienced the feeling of being air.

Although Gui Qing said "bye" just now, she didn't look at him. He really couldn't tell himself that the words were also said to him.

Jiang Yuxu saw through the window that Gui Qing got into the silver Panamera and sped away.

His attention was drawn to Gui Qing, and he didn't realize that his actions were all seen by Gui Yan.

Until Gui Yan called his name with a smile.

Jiang Yuxu came back to his senses and looked at Gui Yan beside him. He met his smiling eyes and felt a little unnatural.

Gui Yan glanced out the window and said, "I noticed that you seem to be paying special attention to Er Er."

Jiang Yuxu: "... Twenty-two?"

Gui Yan: "Oh, look at me, I'm used to it."

He explained simply, "Er Er is her childhood nickname. Her birthday is on the second day of the second month in the lunar calendar."

On February 2, the dragon raises its head.

Jiang Yuxu pondered for a moment and nodded: "It fits her personality very well."

Gui Yan: "You seem to know her very well? But I remember Er Er just said that you don't communicate much outside of work."

Jiang Yuxu: "My reason is that I'm not very good at communicating with people."

Gui Yan: "You are very good at it."

He smiled and waved his hand: "Let's not beat around the bush. As someone who has been there, I can see that you admire her very much."

Jiang Yuxu: "...I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jiang Yuxu knew it very well in his mind. He was afraid that Gui Yan had seen his thoughts about Gui Qing during the meal just now.

But the problem is.

Gui Yan can see it, so can’t Gui Qing see it?

Or could she see that he simply didn't want to bother with him?

Gui Yan: "Have you expressed your feelings to her?"

Jiang Yuxu shook his head.

Gui Yan: "Any concerns?"

Jiang Yuxu: "It will cause trouble to her."

Gui Yan was helpless, "For example?"

Jiang Yuxu: "Her boyfriend will misunderstand."

Gui Yan: "She is currently single and has no boyfriend. Did you misunderstand?"

Jiang Yuxu almost said Xie Yuan's name.

He swallowed it when it reached his mouth.

First, she was not sure what the relationship between Xie Yuan and Gui Qing was. Second, even if they really had something going on, Xie Yuan was married and she would definitely not let her elders know about this.

Jiang Yuxu: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding."

Gui Yan: "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why not give it a try? I admire you very much."

Jiang Yuxu: "It's useless for you to admire me."

Gui Yan inexplicably heard a hint of resentment in his words and laughed: "Your excellence is objective, no one can fail to appreciate it."

Jiang Yuxu: "She doesn't appreciate it."

Gui Yan: “…” OK, this sentence sounded even more resentful.
