Chapter 135 What the hell
Gu Sanjing's words brought silence to the room. Ye Xingjian was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. He felt that he had lost all his face and wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Liu Yuzhen was even more embarrassed. She found it unbelievable. How could the Gu family be so rich? Weren't they just peasants? To buy five houses, that would cost 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
Fifty or sixty thousand yuan! What a concept! Her monthly salary is only 38 yuan. In other words, even if she saves all her salary without eating or drinking, it will take her more than a hundred years to save up 60,000 yuan.
After marrying Ye Xingjian, except for those turbulent years, she always felt that she was living a superior life. But now, she was crushed into pieces by the words of a child.
Ye Ling also found it incredible. She wasn't as wealthy as the Gu family. But she wasn't envious. Everyone has their own way of life, and having more money doesn't necessarily mean happiness.
Moreover, no matter how rich the Gu family was, she would not agree to the marriage between Ye Chi and Gu Yimin.
Ye Chi wanted to laugh. He had met the fourth daughter of the Gu family and knew that she was a quirky girl. He didn't expect that the third daughter could give such a big surprise.
Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju were also a little embarrassed. It was true that they had some money in their hands, but talking about it so openly gave people the impression that they were showing off their wealth.
They really wanted to keep a low profile.
"You kid, you took Xiao Si's joke seriously." Wang Yueju scolded Gu Sanjing lightly.
"What grade is this child in?" Ye Xingjian asked Gu Jianguo with a smile, trying to save face.
"She went to a sports school," Gu Jianguo said. "Last year, the school coach took a look at her and said she had some talent in diving, so she went to the sports school."
"That's right. Children should make use of their strengths." Ye Xingjian thought of his youngest son, Ye Lei. He was clearly not suitable for the army, but Liu Yuzhen had sent him there. His performance in the army was a complete mess, and he embarrassed himself every day.
Thinking of this, he became even more dissatisfied with Liu Yuzhen. He hadn't thought so before, but now he realized that she was short-sighted and greedy for money.
But even if he was dissatisfied with her now, he had to endure it and wait until the Gu family left before he could vent his anger. Otherwise, he would be the one who would be embarrassed.
The rest of the meal was a bit awkward, but luckily Ye Chi found a topic that both Ye Xingjian and Gu Jianguo were interested in, so in the end the meal was considered a complete success.
After dinner, Ye Xingjian, Gu Jianguo, and Ye Chi sat at the tea table, drinking tea and chatting. Wang Yueju, along with her four daughters, sat on the sofa in the living room, talking with Ye Ling and Liu Yuzhen. Liu Yuzhen was truly a capable person; even after what had just happened, she could still smile and talk to Wang Yueju.
Ye Ling sat next to Gu Yimin and they exchanged a few words. Seeing Ye Chi, who was talking to Gu Jianguo, leave, she smiled and said to Gu Yimin, "Yimin, I have something I want to talk to you alone. Let's go back to the room and talk."
Gu Yimin didn't think they needed to talk privately since they had just met. But she had already said it, and as a guest, she couldn't refuse, so she got up and followed her to the room.
Gu Erhui and Gu Siqing saw the two enter the room and looked at each other without saying a word. They could see that the Ye family was not at peace. Letting the eldest sister interact with the Ye family would make it easier for her to make a choice.
Wang Yueju, who was talking to Liu Yuzhen, had the same idea.
Inside the room, Ye Ling poured a glass of water for Gu Yimin, and then the two sat facing each other. Holding the glass, Ye Ling looked at the girl in front of her. She was less than 20 years old, and her youth was like a flower bud that hadn't yet bloomed. Not to mention Ye Chi, even she liked her.
But even though they liked her, this girl was definitely not suitable to marry into their family.
"First of all, I have to thank you again for helping my dad back then. Without your help, our family wouldn't be where it is today. Thank you so much," Ye Ling said sincerely. Gu Yimin wasn't stupid; she knew Ye Ling wasn't just talking to her out of gratitude, so she smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. Uncle Ye helped me first."
Ye Ling could tell that the girl really didn't take the life-saving favor to heart. Sighing, she said, "You really are a good girl, but you and my Ye Chi are really not suitable."
Gu Yimin was stunned by her words. Just as she was about to say something, Ye Ling continued, "When a man and a woman are together, the most important thing is that they are of equal social status. I don't mean to look down on your background, but the gap between your family and ours is huge. You should understand without me saying it."
Ye Ling's tone and expression were deliberately arrogant, thinking that this was enough to humiliate a little girl.
Gu Yimin did feel humiliated. She didn't think her background was that bad, and she never thought about what would happen with Ye Chi. Ye Ling, why do you talk to me in this way?
"leaf"
"Listen to me first," Ye Ling said contemptuously, "I heard from Ye Chi that you graduated from junior high school. Do you know what Ye Chi's academic qualifications are? He applied to a military academy after graduating from high school and achieved excellent grades. After joining the army, he worked hard and became a battalion-level instructor at the age of 27. Do you think that someone like you who graduated from junior high school is worthy of him? Will you have anything in common in the future?"
You can't compare with me in terms of family background and education. What advantage do you have? Beauty? In the upper circles of Kyoto, the most abundant thing is beautiful women. They are just men's playthings. You"
"Comrade Ye Ling," Gu Yimin stood up quickly, his face as cold as ice, "Don't you think it's inexplicable what you're saying to me? Ye Chi and I have met no more than five times, and our total conversation time is no more than ten minutes. We are just ordinary comrades. What right do you have to say this to me? Your Ye family is a wealthy family, and we are from a peasant background, but it was your father who invited us here today. Don't you think it's rude to treat guests like this? Is this the quality of your wealthy family? Your family is full of filth, and I still think your family is not worthy of mine."
What the hell!
Gu Yimin stood up and walked out. When she reached the door, Ye Ling said again, "You're not going to run out and cry and complain, are you? That would be too childish."
Gu Yimin turned around and sneered, "Are you afraid that I'll go out and cry?"
Ye Ling shrugged, "Do you think I'm scared?"
Gu Yimin ignored her and pushed the door open, her face expressionless. Although she was furious and wanted to complain, what good would it do her? At most, Ye Xingjian would scold Ye Ling, and then everyone would be embarrassed.
Ye Chi was chatting with Gu Jianguo, but he kept his eyes on the door of Ye Ling's room. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Yimin come out with a calm face. He was afraid that Ye Ling would say something bad.
He had expected Liu Yuzhen to cause trouble today, and he had intended for Gu Yimin to see the tip of the iceberg of Liu Yuzhen. But she absolutely didn't want Ye Ling to say anything bad about Gu Yimin. She was his biological sister, and he couldn't treat Ye Ling the same way he treated Liu Yuzhen.
