Chapter 251 You Don't Like Women
"You need to make sure the girl likes you too. You can't just pretend she doesn't know anything and you're the one indulging in self-pity!"
Okay, now there are two paths.
If the girl backs down from your family, then this matter is over. Don't even think about it anymore. You can't force things. The game is over.
The second condition is that the girl is also interested in you, and you two are compatible. Then everything else is up to you.
"Didn't your family disagree? And it was mainly your elders who disagreed, right? That shouldn't include Tian Tian's maternal grandfather, right?" Yao Shula asked.
“Not included! Old Master Gu is a very nice person. It’s mainly Gu Changqin’s mother who wants Gu Changqin to find a suitable match. She’s even arranging blind dates for him!” Lei Jingwu interjected.
Yao Shula understood that the main obstacle lay with Gu Changqin's mother.
"Yes, my aunt is terrified that my cousin will marry someone from a poor family. She says she's afraid he'll lose face in front of the family!" Xiao Tiantian added.
Gu Changqin glared angrily at the two who were trying to sabotage him.
"Okay! I understand, that's only natural! It's understandable that your mom thinks that way, since you're such a hot commodity!"
"In that case, Gu Changqin, you only need to do one thing!" Yao Shula came up with a solution.
Gu Changqin hurriedly looked at Yao Shula, "Tell me quickly, what do you want me to do!"
Everyone at the table stopped eating and stared at Yao Shula.
Lei Jingwu looked at Yao Shula with a serious expression, waiting for her to come up with a good idea.
Seeing that everyone was being so accommodating, Yao Shula cleared her throat.
"Gu Changqin, your mother's refusal is definitely because she cares about you and wants you to be happy, or perhaps she thinks you deserve better and that what she's arranged is the best."
So, if you want to completely dissuade your mother from that idea, you have to take drastic measures.
Like I just said, you need to have the courage to flip the table.
"But to completely resolve this issue, you need to have the courage to tear the roof off," Yao Shula said, enunciating each word clearly.
"Tear the roof off?" Gu Changqin thought Yao Shula meant to cause a scene at home, which wasn't entirely out of the question...
"Yeah! Once you show that you're going to tear the roof off, your mom will think that wanting to open a window in the house isn't a big deal."
This is called choosing the lesser of two evils, or choosing the greater of two benefits!
"If you really mess things up, your mom will think that everything else you've done is insignificant," Yao Shula continued.
"You... tell me in detail? What do I need to do to make my mom feel like the sky is falling?" Gu Changqin was very curious.
Lei Jingwu was even more curious.
Yao Shula chuckled, glanced at the people in the room, and then lowered her voice.
"Gu Changqin, tell me! If you told your mother that you've discovered you don't like girls and only like boys, what would she think!"
Everyone in the room...
Lei Jingwu dropped his chopsticks on the table.
Xiao Tiantian forgot to bite the bun in her mouth, and Yao Shuli reacted as if she had heard something incredible.
Yao Shuxin's eyes were full of doubt, and her mind was blank.
Gu Changqin was speechless, his mouth agape.
"Think about it carefully, is my idea any good? Try to think from your mother's perspective." Yao Shula looked at Gu Changqin with a smile.
Gu Changqin thought about it, following Yao Shula's words...
If he told his mother that he liked men and not women, his mother would definitely feel like the sky was falling!
No wonder Yao Shula said you need to have the courage to pierce the sky. If I told my mom this, what would she think?
How can she like men? How can she carry on the Gu family line if she likes men? How can his mother hold her grandson?
Back then, let alone liking girls from poor families who weren't good enough for Gu Jia, his mother would probably treat any woman he brought into the house like royalty!
"That's a great idea!" Gu Changqin exclaimed excitedly, slapping the table.
This startled everyone else.
"What are you doing! You scared us!" Lei Jingwu was the first to react.
Yao Shula quickly picked up the steamed bun that Xiaotian had dropped in fright and tossed it to Yuanbao, who was standing nearby, and then gave Xiaotian a new steamed bun.
"How about it? My idea was pretty good, wasn't it!" Yao Shula looked at Gu Changqin smugly.
Gu Changqin nodded vigorously.
"Absolutely a great idea! My mom will definitely cry and tell me that it doesn't matter who I like, as long as it's a girl."
Yao Shula, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea?!
"I'll do as you say when I get back!" Gu Changqin was overjoyed.
Xiao Tiantian took the steamed bun that Yao Shula had just handed him, took a big bite, and then started making demands.
"See? My older sister is amazing! She came up with such a great idea for you."
This isn't a free solution; you have to reciprocate, cousin.
"How about you give me three hundred yuan..." Xiao Tiantian stared at Gu Changqin.
"Yes! You must! I'll prepare a big gift for your older sister when we get back!" Gu Changqin immediately agreed happily.
See, he knew there must be a way. Yao Shula is so smart. Wait until later…
"Don't get too excited yet. Shura just said that her method has a prerequisite: the girl has to be interested in you too. What if she's not interested in you?"
"Isn't it a bit too early for you to be thinking about these things?" Lei Jingwu promptly poured cold water on Gu Changqin's enthusiasm.
Gu Changqin didn't care at all.
"How could that be! As long as we rule out my mom's huge problem, what is impossible!"
Besides, my conditions aren't bad either! I'm willing to do all this, how could she possibly refuse? How could she possibly disagree!
Why would you necessarily agree?
"If it were me, I wouldn't agree!" Yao Shula said immediately.
Gu Changqin's mood plummeted once again...
"Why?! I've already solved my mom's problem!"
"You've only solved your mother's problem. Don't forget that your family is a big one. Even if your mother doesn't cause any trouble, what about the others?"
Will other people say something, openly or secretly, or target her?
The larger the family, the more things there are to do, and you'll encounter many problems if you can't be the absolute leader in the family.
"If it were me... I'm living such a comfortable and peaceful life now, why would I want to get involved in that mess!" Yao Shula laughed.
Gu Changqin has completely lost his temper!
He felt that all his previous questions had been in vain!
"Yao Shula..."
"Don't thank me! I just gave you an idea. If you ever meet a girl like that in the future, you'll have a way to deal with her, right?"
"Alright, let's continue eating!" Yao Shula was the first to pick up her rice bowl.
Lei Jingwu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his rice bowl.
Everyone happily continued eating, treating the previous conversation as just a passing interlude.
Only Gu Changqin felt that not only was the budding of his feelings nipped in the bud, but someone also poured a spoonful of boiling oil on it...
His heart was completely dead...
