Chapter 146: Daily life of elders, urging marriage
The person speaking is Gu Mingzhu's third aunt Gu Qiuping. Her family was also kicked out of the board of directors by Gu Mingzhu and can only live on dividends every year.
These people are just like the relatives of the Shen family. They don't make any big moves, but they are often sarcastic.
"Why are you learning this? Do you want to get a divorce and remarry?" Shen Qingning was not going to tolerate her and retorted.
Gu Qiuping's smile froze, and she glared at him awkwardly: "What nonsense is this kid talking about? I'm just asking for the children."
"Oh. You're talking about your son. That's impossible. He likes girls. How can two people of different genders fall in love?"
Shen Qingning's words were sharp and straightforward, but she didn't give any face at all.
Si Moting curled his lips slightly, his eyes full of doting smile.
Gu Qiuping didn't expect him to speak so bluntly.
How come Shen Qingning has become so good at talking after not seeing her for a month?
In front of Si Moting, she didn't dare to retort, and she felt embarrassed in front of so many people, so she said, "Yes, after all, I only have one son, and I need to carry on the family line."
This is blatant irony.
Shen Qingning was not polite: "Your family has the throne? And you want to pass on the family line? From what I know, the dividends are only over one million a year. It's enough to support a few children."
Gu Qiuping's face turned red and white after her past was exposed.
Gu Mingzhu and Gu Chen, brother and sister, one ate the food elegantly, while the other secretly gave Shen Qingning a thumbs up, and refused to come out to smooth things over.
Gu Cang looked at the sharp-tongued Shen Qingning and said slowly, "Ningning now has someone to back her up, so she speaks differently. She used to be such a well-behaved child."
"Yeah. Why shouldn't I use it when I have a backer? Right, Si Moting?" Shen Qingning deliberately showed her affection in front of them.
"Yes. My wife naturally walks sideways." Si Moting squeezed his hand and cooperated fully.
The other people at the table had different expressions.
Shen Qingning raised her eyebrows at Gu Cang proudly.
He plays the game of taking advantage of the power of others quite well.
Seeing that the situation was getting awkward, Old Man Gu stepped out to smooth things over: "This fish is good. Ningning, try it. Mingzhu had someone deliver it this morning."
"Okay. Grandpa Gu."
Fu Xin, who was sitting at the next table, listened to this exchange and clinked his glass with Shen Qingzhi's. "It's been a few days since we last met, and Ningning's skills in arguing with people have improved a lot."
Shen Qingzhi couldn't help laughing: "He has a good relationship with Gu Chen, so he is naturally more loyal."
"Oh. It would be nice if I could give half of this mouth to Fu Chi." Fu Xin shook his head and looked at his silent brother beside him. He felt that his silence tonight was even more excessive.
Shen Qingzhi put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "The three of them have different personalities, each with their own merits."
"What's good about that? A person with that kind of personality won't work in the company." Fu Xin knew this very well about the brother he raised.
"Don't be impatient." Shen Qingzhi advised: "He is only a freshman, isn't it a bit early to bring this up now?"
Fu Xin shook his head: "He is different from Ningning. Ningning likes painting and has no interest in business. But he has talent and courage in the business world, so it is a good thing for him to join the company early."
Shen Qingzhi didn't quite agree with his point of view.
He joined the company so early and missed out on his most precious college life, which is something he still regrets.
However, opinions can only be expressed to a certain extent.
"Gu Chen also wants to join the company. The two brothers can look after each other."
"Yeah. That's what I mean."
Fu Chi didn't eat much.
He drank in silence.
They were not the protagonists in this kind of occasion, so no one disturbed him.
Let’s talk about the main seat.
Gu Qiuping was scolded, and within two minutes of eating, her mind became active again.
This time she targeted Gu Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu, you're already old enough, it's time to find a partner. It's so hard for a girl to support the group alone. Auntie really loves you."
"Yes, Mingzhu. It just so happens that your second uncle knows quite a few young talents. Let's arrange a meeting. Whether you're interested or not is another matter. Let's meet first."
Following her to help was Gu Mingzhu's second aunt, Gu Qiulan.
"Our Mingzhu is so beautiful, she's definitely popular with boys. You said that women always have to return to their families. If she waits a few more years, she'll be at an advanced age when she gives birth."
"That's right." Gu Qiuping smiled at Gu Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, what do you think?"
Gu Mingzhu held the teacup and looked at the women who had just spoken with a half-smile in her eyes.
"Why rush? It won't be too late in two years."
"In two years you'll be 29, which means you'll be 30. Women are worthless after they're thirty. Don't let this delay turn you into an old maid."
"Heh." Gu Mingzhu was not angry, and said with a smile: "Thirty is considered an old girl? Third Aunt is exaggerating. I think I look like eighteen."
"Sister Mingzhu is beautiful and kind-hearted. She is eighteen years old. Unlike some people who are fifty years old but have the face of eighty years old." Shen Qingning took the opportunity to interject.
Gu Qiuping almost couldn't hold back her smile and glared at Shen Qingning fiercely.
The next second, a more oppressive gaze fell on her.
She turned her head and met her boss Mo Ting's warning gaze, and she quickly turned away in fear.
She didn't say anything, but someone else was talking.
Gu Cang said, "Your second and third aunts are right. A single girl trying to venture into business is bound to suffer losses. Just listen to your second aunt and go meet her tomorrow."
If you don’t know, you might think he cares a lot about his daughter Gu Mingzhu.
Gu Chen immediately lost his appetite and said in a very angry tone: "Do you think my son is dead? My sister still has me behind her. It's not her turn to look for another man."
"Xiaochen, you've misunderstood Second Aunt. Your sister can't stop looking for a partner just for you. Can you bear to see her single for the rest of her life? Aren't you being too selfish?"
"Xiaochen, you've just started college and can't help your sister. We're not just looking for anyone to marry. We have to find someone who's a good match and can help your sister. Don't you agree?"
I have to say, these women are very good at talking.
They all claim to be doing this for Gu Mingzhu's own good, so it's not easy to turn against them directly.
Gu Mingzhu was not in a hurry. She elegantly lifted the hair beside her ear and said, "From what Second Aunt said, someone has been chosen. I wonder which young talent has caught Second Aunt's eye so much."
"Oh, I ran into Miss Zhang from the World Bank a few days ago. Isn't her son still married? Miss Zhang was full of praise for Mingzhu's ability and beauty. Besides, Zhang Xu is a few years younger than Mingzhu, and the child is also handsome and has a good family background. Where can I find such a girl?"
Everyone in the Jingang circle calls Zhang Jiaran Miss Zhang.
Because Kong Xing is a son-in-law who lives with the wife's family.
When Zhang Jiaran goes out, everyone calls her by her name.
"Who are you talking about?"
Gu Chen was the first to explode: "Zhang Xu? That playboy has slept with hundreds, if not thousands, of people, and you dare mention it to my sister!"
