Gu Cheng was taken aback.
"You are indeed quite different."
"How so?"
Gu Cheng looked at me and poured me another cup of tea. "Ordinary young people, even that kid from the Wang family, have to be very polite to me. Those who are a little timid don't even dare to say a word."
But you are different.
"You not only dare to speak."
"I didn't see the slightest bit of fear in you."
"In other words, you're not afraid of me."
I laughed and said, "They're all people."
"You're only a few years older than me. If anyone's afraid, it's you who's afraid of me."
"What do you mean?" Gu Cheng looked at me with some surprise.
"You're too old, you definitely can't beat me," I said with a shrug and a smile.
I'm not joking, I'm serious.
However, what it means depends on how Gu Cheng interprets it.
That's how I answered his question.
That's all.
Upon hearing my words, Gu Cheng was visibly taken aback.
After a long pause, he chuckled and said, "That's not wrong."
"But that's not what I meant."
"Never mind."
Gu Cheng's face became more serious; he seemed to have decided to start taking me, a boy who was only nineteen years old in his eyes, seriously.
I didn't rush to speak, I just looked at him calmly.
After a moment, Gu Cheng said, "Since you've put it that way, there's no need for me to beat around the bush with you."
"I hope you will go to the Xu family in my place."
"He took over the Xu family as the son who had been missing for many years."
really!
My eyes narrowed slightly.
I had a vague idea of what was going on during Gu Nianci and Gu Cheng's conversation, but I couldn't be sure. Now it seems that my guess was correct.
Even though I hadn't fully thought of that.
That was because I misjudged Gu Cheng's ambition.
Thinking of this, I feigned surprise and asked, "Taking over the Xu family?"
"To become a son of the Xu family?"
Is it really that easy?
Gu Cheng chuckled and said, "Of course it's not that easy, but it's not impossible to do."
"In short, you don't need to worry about this. As long as you agree, I don't mind marrying Lianyi to you."
"At that time, you will not only gain people, but also money and power. Why not do it?"
"Young man, you are still young."
"Although you give me a somewhat special feeling, you are ultimately just an ordinary person."
"Someone like you, without the right opportunity, will find it very difficult to climb out of the bottom in your entire life."
"You understand this point."
"What if I said I wasn't interested?" I shook my head and smiled. "It does sound very tempting, and most people would find it hard to resist. Nine times out of ten they would agree."
"But why should I take that risk?"
"I know a bit about the Xu family. They are a tycoon in Binhai, no less powerful than your Gu family, and perhaps even stronger."
"If an ordinary person like me were to actually do this, and were discovered, it wouldn't just be a matter of money."
"It's fate."
"So, you should find someone else."
After saying that, I stood up from the sofa. Now I roughly understood why they had Gu Lianyi bring me to the Gu family. It was definitely related to the dream that Gu Nianci mentioned.
But there are still some things I don't understand.
That was just Gu Nianci's dream.
How could Gu Cheng make such a decision based on a dream?
