Chapter 360 Every Family Has Its Own Difficulties
Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman were both a little dumbfounded.
This sounds like a pipe dream! Gu Changqin likes men? How could that be!
"Mom, are you talking in your sleep? How could my brother possibly like men? He's had so many girlfriends before! This can't be true, right?" Gu Xiaoman still didn't believe it.
"He just wanted to see if he really didn't like women. He said that after trying so many times, he still found that he couldn't like them!"
He... said he just doesn't like women! Xiaoman, what are we going to do now! Your grandfather and your father don't even know about this!
"The sky has fallen!" Gu Xiaoman's mother said while crying.
Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman didn't know what to say. Gu Changqin didn't like women; he liked men...
Haha, they definitely won't believe it!
"Xiaoman, you need to talk to your brother! His condition might not be a problem abroad, or even in Hong Kong, but this is in China!"
The old man is a traditional person. If he found out about this, he would be so angry he'd faint!
"Shura, you should try to persuade him too! Maybe he'll listen to you!" Gu Xiaoman's mother said, holding both of their hands tightly.
"Mom, how did you know my brother doesn't like women?" Gu Xiaoman suddenly thought of a question.
Speaking of this, Gu Xiaoman's mother had even more to say.
“When your brother came home for lunch, I told him that Aunt Jiang’s daughter had returned from abroad and we had already arranged a time for him to go and see her.”
Your brother... told me about this, saying that we can't delay the girl's life, and we can't let the marriage turn into an enemy!
"Xiaoman, what should I do?!" Gu Xiaoman's mother cried even harder.
Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman exchanged a glance, as if they had both thought of the same thing.
Yao Shula, in particular, immediately thought of the advice she had given Gu Changqin back then.
"Just tell your mom you like men, and in the end she'll be all for it no matter who you date..."
Gu Xiaoman also thought of this, and the two of them quickly and tacitly stopped talking about it, instead comforting Gu Xiaoman's mother.
But Gu Xiaoman's mother... the more you try to comfort her, the more agitated she becomes.
"Shura, Xiaoman, you two really have to help me persuade Changqin. He... I don't object, but the situation in Shanghai is different. He has so many people watching him, and there's also the Gu family's reputation to consider..."
Why am I so unlucky!
He says he likes men, but which man does he like?! I've never seen him interact with any other men much. He just does business with Keigo...
Keigo… Oh my god, could he be having an affair with Keigo?! Keigo is the eldest grandson of the Lei family!
"Oh no, the Gu family and the Lei family are going to become enemies! What are we going to do?!" Gu Xiaoman's mother felt like the sky was falling.
Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman were also a bit dumbfounded.
Gu Changqin and Lei Jingwu...
No way!
Gu Xiaoman insisted that Gu Changqin wouldn't like men, but Yao Shula's words...
"Xiaoman, could your brother really have some kind of relationship with Lei Jingwu?" Yao Shula was also a little unsure.
Although she didn't want to believe it, Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin were both good-looking and had good conditions, so how could they not have girlfriends!
And what Xiaotian mentioned last time, that Lei Jingwu's mother introduced him to potential partners, but Lei Jingwu didn't like any of them...
If these two spend so much time together, going in and out of places together, could their relationship really be developing in a different way?
After Yao Shula said that, Gu Xiaoman was no longer sure.
My brother and Lei Jingwu are indeed getting quite close; when they go out, it's for ten days or half a month at a time...
Could they have actually developed feelings for each other over time?
After calming Gu Xiaoman's mother down, Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman lost interest in managing the shop. They did a quick inventory and then closed the shop for the day.
Gu Xiaoman called Gu Changqin, and Yao Shula called Lei Jingwu.
The two of them planned to hold a blatant trap to ask these two men a question.
As for Yao Shuli...
He said that a classmate had a birthday party and invited everyone to dinner, and he also bought a gift and went to attend the birthday party.
...
Four cold dishes, four hot dishes, and a soup—none of these were made by Yao Shula; Gu Xiaoman called the restaurant to have them delivered.
Lei Jingwu and Gu Changqin arrived in the same car, and got out of the car one after the other, chatting and laughing.
Gu Xiaoman and Yao Shula witnessed all of this.
The two of them hadn't thought anything of it before, but after Gu Xiaoman's mother made such a fuss today, they realized that Gu Changqin and Lei Jingwu... seemed to have something going on!
After the two entered the house and sat down at the dining table, they were both stunned when they saw the dishes on the table.
"Is this a trap? There's even wine!" Gu Changqin subconsciously looked at Yao Shula and Gu Xiaoman.
"Anyway, it's not a farewell dinner!" Lei Jingwu said with a smile after taking off his coat and putting it on the sofa.
Seeing the two of them, Gu Xiaoman and Yao Shula decided to strike first!
Their original plan was to get the two of them half-drunk before asking the questions, but then they thought about it...
Forget it, these two are used to drinking parties. Let's not get Gu Xiaoman and Yao Shula drunk before we get them drunk.
"Brother, do you like men?" Gu Xiaoman asked directly.
"Cough cough...cough..." Gu Changqin choked as soon as he put the cold dish in his mouth.
"Lei Jingwu, do you prefer men or women?" Yao Shula looked at Lei Jingwu seriously.
Lei Jingwu, holding a wine glass in his hand...
"Of course I like women! Why did you even think of asking this question? Have I not been obvious enough?" Lei Jingwu said, somewhat helplessly.
Yao Shula quickly gave a dry laugh.
"No! It wasn't that Xiaoman's mother came over this afternoon and said... it was Gu Changqin himself who said that he doesn't like women, and his mother felt like the sky had fallen."
Otherwise, we wouldn't have asked you this question.
"Alright, alright, it's all a misunderstanding! Come on, let's eat first!" Yao Shula quickly tried to change the subject.
She had a feeling that if she didn't end this topic soon, what followed might be difficult for her to face.
Lei Jingwu didn't speak, but gave Yao Shula a deep look.
Gu Xiaoman patted Gu Changqin's back for a while before Gu Changqin stopped coughing.
"I like women, not men! I was just saying that to appease my mom, can't you tell?" Gu Changqin glared at Gu Xiaoman with annoyance.
Gu Xiaoman responded with an "oh" and offered a brief explanation.
"I... I heard Mom say it in a very detailed and convincing way!"
