Chapter 67 That Kind of Relationship
Lu Fengqing declined Gu Suixing's invitation to take a nap in his office break room and went straight back to the technical department after leaving the cafeteria.
Everyone was eating downstairs. Lu Fengqing came back early, and there weren't many people in the technical department.
As I went inside, I could vaguely hear voices coming from the water dispenser, and they seemed to be related to me.
"...Our department hasn't had a leader come to inspect for a hundred and eighty years. Last night, General Manager Gu suddenly came down and not only deducted the boss's bonus for this month, but also made him write a self-criticism. It's all thanks to that Assistant Lu."
"Sigh, why would Mr. Gu send someone like this to our department out of the blue?"
"Who knows? Assistant Lu is pretty, but I really don't believe she can break through the security system we've built."
"Don't say that, you can't judge a book by its cover."
"Ha. If she could do that, I'd write my resignation letter right away... Speaking of which, why are those nerdy guys in our department acting like they've never seen a woman before? Even our boss got his bonus docked because of that woman, and they're still fawning over her, hanging around like crazy. It's so annoying."
After a few seconds of silence in the water dispenser, another female colleague whispered, "Um, the boss got his bonus docked because Director Gu noticed we weren't working diligently..."
"Hey, who are you from? If that woman weren't here, would Xiao Gu have come down here?"
"But Assistant Lu was sent down by President Gu."
"You... never mind, I won't argue with you. And don't get too close to that woman. She looks like a fox, doesn't seem like a good person, and might even have that kind of relationship with Mr. Gu..."
Lu Fengqing listened quietly without disturbing her.
Noticing that they were about to come out, he leisurely returned to his seat.
Lu Fengqing didn't stay to work overtime that night. Gu Suixing was going home and left the car with her.
Huo Huaisui wanted to eat hot pot, so the two agreed to meet at a hot pot restaurant.
To make it easier to talk and avoid being disturbed by unfamiliar faces, Huo Huai Sui booked a private room this time.
The fact that there were only three of them in the private room, which usually seats eight or nine people, not only made it seem empty, but also showed that Huo Huai Sui had indeed made a fortune.
Lu Fengqing took the small apron from the waiter and put it on Rui Rui while asking, "Why did you suddenly invite us out for hot pot today? Did you strike it rich?"
Huo Huaisui recalled the huge transfer he received yesterday and said with a smug look, "I really struck it rich."
Lu Fengqing tapped Rui Rui's little nose, "Eat more later, and eat your auntie out of house and home."
Rui Rui smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Huo Huaisui patted his chest with great enthusiasm, "Eat as much as you want, until you're stuffed!"
Lu Fengqing glanced at her and said, "If you keep hitting it, it'll deflate."
Huo Huaisui: "..."
It's really going too far to poke at people's sore spots.
Let's take another look at Lu Fengqing's.
……envious.
The waiter quickly brought over the hot pot base and side dishes.
Huo Huai Sui stared at the pot waiting for the soup to boil, and casually asked, "Are you working at Gu's with my fourth brother now?"
Lu Fengqing: "For now."
Huo Huai Sui had never had a proper job before, so he became a little curious. "This must be your first time in the workplace. Have you encountered anything interesting?"
Lu Fengqing thought for a moment, "If a woman is gossiping behind my back, saying that Gu Suixing and I have that kind of relationship, does that count?"
Because there were children present, Lu Fengqing didn't explain it too clearly.
But Huo Huaisui understood immediately.
It's just a sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship.
"And then?" He rushed in and slapped the woman to shut her up.
Huo Huaisui still feels lingering fear when he recalls the way Lu Fengqing slapped Lu Yuhan.
"Nothing more." Lu Fengqing picked up a thin slice of meat and dipped it in the pot. "She wasn't wrong."
Giving money to spend and sleeping with someone—isn't that a "sugar baby" relationship?
Huo Huaisui corrected with a straight face: "Only relationships formed for money are called 'sugar baby' relationships. My fourth brother likes you, and you like him too. It's mutual affection, which is a normal relationship."
Lu Fengqing smiled enigmatically, "When did I say I liked him?"
"If you don't like him, can you give him... hmm?" Huo Huai Sui glanced meaningfully at Rui Rui.
Besides, her fourth brother is so outstanding and good, she doesn't believe that Lu Niannian could so easily fall in love with someone else.
Huo Huai Sui said with a touch of emotion, "That's great, your grandfather's task for you is complete."
Look how obedient her fourth brother is in front of Lu Niannian. He'd probably be willing to get married right now, let alone at the end of the year.
"I really envy you, getting rid of the pressure to get married so quickly." Huo Huai Sui sighed. "Last time I went on a date with that awful guy, I went to my aunt and cried. My aunt swore that next time she would definitely take a good look at what kind of person the other person is... Although she made up for the money I spent on food, it doesn't change the fact that she's eroding my trust."
Lu Fengqing: "So?"
Huo Huaisui sighed again, "I told you long ago that my aunt had ulterior motives. Her own daughter is already 28 and still not married. If there were really good men out there, why would I have a chance? But my mom just wouldn't believe me. I'm going to set an alarm and get up halfway every day to try calling my mom and complaining about my aunt until she stops letting my aunt introduce me to anyone!"
Lu Fengqing laughed, "Aren't you afraid of being blocked again?"
Huo Huai Sui snorted, "If she dares to block me again, I'll immediately tell my dad that she has a picture of him on her phone, and I'll have him fly over there to bother her!"
Lu Fengqing didn't know much about Huo Huaisui's parents' relationship, only that it was probably another love story of "she runs away, he chases, and she can't escape".
However, there was one thing she was certain of.
She hasn't escaped the pressure of being urged to get married.
Whether Gu Suixing really wanted to marry her and dared to go against his grandfather for her sake was one thing, but whether her maternal grandfather would agree was another.
-
When Gu Suixing returned home, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa looking through documents.
"Mom." Gu Suixing walked over and sat down next to Huo Yao, glancing down at her.
The two characters "Qin Xuan" at the very top came into view.
Gu Suixing chuckled, "Why are you investigating her?"
Huo Yao: "Your grandfather has taken a liking to her..."
Gu Suixing raised an eyebrow: "Want to take a fourth wife?"
"..."
Huo Yao finally looked up at her son, who was spouting nonsense, and finished the sentence: "I want her to be your wife."
Gu Suixing's smile gradually faded.
Huo Yao pretended not to see it and asked, "Qin Xuan and you were classmates in college?"
Gu Suixing: "I have at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of college classmates."
Huo Yao continued, "What do you think of her?"
Gu Suixing: "Just like all the women outside."
Huo Yao glanced at him, "Not interested?"
"I'm not in the mood for sex."
"..."
A crack appeared in Huo Yao's indifference and composure.
She took a deep breath, threw the documents in her hand into her son's arms, and her face turned cold. "Then who are you sexually attracted to?"
Gu Suixing shoved the papers in her hand into the trash can, a smile on her face, but not in her eyes. "You know perfectly well what's going on, so why ask?"
