So they followed the manager up to the second floor, through a long corridor, to the very end.
The manager opened the door. "This private room isn't small, and the view from the window is particularly good. You've arrived early, so we can give it to you first."
Gu Lingxiao looked around and found the environment quite nice, so he said to the manager, "Then we'll take this private room. Please arrange for some tea and fruit to be brought up first, and we'll order the food after the guests arrive."
Manager: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away for the guest!"
Lu Zhixia led the child inside, touched the table and found it spotless. She pulled out a chair for the child to sit on, then looked up at Gu Lingxiao and said...
"Alright, you can go back and call them!"
"Um."
Gu Lingxiao turned and left the private room to go back to the hotel to call for help. He ran into the manager as he went downstairs.
Do you have ice cream in your store?
"some!"
"Bring two more ice creams to the private room, cream flavored ones."
“Yes, sir!” the manager replied respectfully.
Gu Lingxiao quickly went downstairs and left the state-run restaurant, then turned left and hurried to the hotel.
Cai Wei returned to her hotel room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her son hadn't come. She gulped down a glass of water and then said to Gu Dongsheng, "I've already made all the arrangements. When they meet, they'll naturally be able to compare the two women and see who's better!"
Gu Dongsheng had just talked with his mother for a while, and now he's wavering. Actually, for men, although a woman's appearance is important, they care more about her inner qualities and whether the two of them are compatible.
Back then, Wang Fangqing was quite beautiful and very hardworking. If she hadn't been with Cai Wei, she wouldn't be in such a humble situation now.
Because he dotes on Cai Wei so much, he has to be more considerate of her in daily life. But with an arranged marriage, he wouldn't have to be so accommodating; he would be pampered and waited on very comfortably.
So when he grew old, he didn't feel that his marriage was particularly happy.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Cai Wei sat down next to the man. "Let me tell you, as long as our son marries Xiaoru, I guarantee we'll have a grandson next year. Then we'll be the happiest couple in the compound!"
Gu Dongsheng said, "Don't overthink things; it's not even close to happening yet."
Cai Wei pouted, "What are you thinking again? Let me tell you, I'm the one in charge in this family, and you all have to listen to me!"
Gu Dongsheng turned to his wife and said, "I want to talk to you about this. Actually, it's better to listen to our son's opinion on marriage. He's the one who will spend his life with his wife, not us."
"What? Are you having second thoughts?" Cai Wei looked up at her mother-in-law's room. "Did you listen to your mother talking nonsense again? Can we compare our time to our son's now?" She counted on her fingers and said, "First of all, we fell in love freely, had common goals, and were of the same educational level. Otherwise, how could our marriage be so happy!"
Gu Dongsheng said, “You have to understand, a man will only marry a woman he likes. He won’t marry a woman he doesn’t like! Besides, our son is already 30 years old. He’s not a kid in his early twenties who will listen to you just because you say a few words to him. His personality is already set!”
Cai Wei pushed her husband away forcefully, saying, "I don't want to listen to your nonsense, and you don't need to talk to me. I want results!"
Gu Dongsheng got angry after being shoved hard. He stood up abruptly, his right hand unconsciously rising. "Are you trying to take me for a fool? Can't I even have a proper discussion with you?"
"What, are you going to hit me?" Cai Wei looked at her husband's fierce expression without the slightest fear, and instead met his gaze head-on. "If you dare to hit me, then we're getting a divorce!"
Gu Dongsheng raised his hand and waved it, but then withdrew it. He didn't have the habit of hitting women, so he could only sit back on the sofa and sulk.
Cai Wei's heart was racing, and she felt a little flustered.
Just then they heard a knock on the door and looked at each other.
Gu Dongsheng went to the door, opened it, and saw his son had arrived.
Gu Lingxiao saw panic on his father's face, then saw his mother's extremely pale expression, and then heard the sound of the door opening, seeing his grandmother come out of the house.
The old woman changed into a new outfit, her hair, which she usually styled simply, was now in a bun, and she wore a gentle and dignified smile.
"Have you brought the person over?" Li Xuehua asked.
Gu Lingxiao hurriedly went to his grandmother's side to help her up, "Yes, I've already made arrangements. They're at the restaurant."
Cai Wei looked at her mother-in-law's attire, then at herself, and felt that she had been outshone again, but what did it matter?
Since this meeting was destined to be a waste of time anyway, she jumped up, grabbed her bag from the table, and...
"I'm going first. Lingxiao, take good care of your grandmother." She then snorted at her husband and walked out.
