Chapter 136 He Can’t Beat Me with His Father
Gu Yimin sat next to Wang Yueju and saw that she didn't look very good, but Liu Yuzhen was still holding her hand and talking with a smile, so she said to Wang Yueju: "Mom, it's getting late, let's go back."
Wang Yueju was unhappy chatting with Liu Yuzhen, so she turned around and glanced at Gu Siqing. Gu Siqing understood, stood up and walked towards Gu Jianguo, then stood beside him and said, "Dad, didn't you say you would take us out to play this afternoon?"
Gu Jianguo immediately understood what his daughter meant and said goodbye to Ye Xingjian with a smile. Ye Xingjian also had something on his mind. He was thinking about scolding Liu Yuzhen after the Gu family left.
"I've prepared some things for you to take away. Don't refuse. They're for Yimin." Ye Xingjian stood up and said.
Gu Jianguo wanted to say something polite, but Ye Chi had already gone to move things, so he had to give up.
Ye Xingjian and Gu Jianguo walked out together, while Liu Yuzhen and Ye Ling accompanied Wang Yueju and Gu Yimin. Gu Erhui, Gu Siqing, and Gu Sanjing walked in front and reached the door first. Seeing Ye Chi loading things into the car, Gu Erhui went over to help.
There were quite a lot of stuff, several large boxes. Ye Chi put them in the trunk, and Gu Erhui bent down to help him move the boxes. The two of them worked together quite well.
Just as I finished packing my things, I heard a surprised voice from a distance, "Gu Erhui?"
Gu Erhui turned around and saw a young man wearing a leather jacket, jeans and curly hair walking towards them not far away. Who else could it be but Zhang Zijun?
Zhang Zijun trotted over, looked at Gu Erhui, then at Ye Chi, and then at the two families chatting "happily" inside, and instantly a look of grievance appeared on his face.
He looked at Gu Erhui and asked in a questioning tone, "You told me that we are not a good match, so you and he are a good match?"
Zhang Zijun pointed at Ye Chi.
Gu Erhui: ""
What the hell is going on?
Then Zhang Zijun said again: "I think you are discriminating against me."
Gu Erhui didn't want to embarrass herself, as Ye Chi was still standing nearby. She reached out and pulled Zhang Zijun's arm aside, whispering, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Zijun glanced at Ye Chi again and said, "You are discriminating against me."
Gu Erhui: "How have I discriminated against you?" It's really confusing!
After arriving in Kyoto, this person seemed even more childish.
"Aren't you just disgusted by my lack of a job and my status as a second-generation rich kid?" Zhang Zijun glanced at Ye Chi again and whispered, "Actually, he's not much better than me."
"You know yourself quite well." Gu Erhui also lowered her voice: "Don't ruin my reputation, ha, I have nothing to do with Ye Chi. I have nothing to do with you either."
Gu Erhui was about to leave when Zhang Zijun stopped him and asked, "When did you come to Kyoto? Where do you live?"
Gu Erhui looked up at him, "Why should I tell you?"
You know what, this guy looks pretty good with his hair curled. He's much more handsome than before.
"If you don't tell me, I won't let you go. Others will misunderstand our relationship, and you and Ye Chi will never be together." Zhang Zijun said this and felt that his idea was really good.
"I'm staying at the People's Hotel." Gu Erhui pushed him away and left. Zhang Zijun squinted at Ye Chi, and their eyes met. Zhang Zijun raised his chin, threw down the car keys, and turned to leave.
Ye Chi wasn't familiar with Zhang Zijun, but he had heard of him, and of course, the things he'd heard weren't good things. He'd been accused of being lazy, idle, and unable to compare with his two cousins. Seeing him pestering Gu Erhui, he said as she approached, "That Zhang Zijun isn't a hardworking and ambitious person."
He didn't have the habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs, so he carefully considered his words before choosing a relatively nice one.
Gu Erhui knew Ye Chi meant well, so she smiled and said, "I know, thank you."
At this time, Gu Jianguo and his men came over and everyone got in the car. Gu Yimin deliberately did not take Ye Chi's car. Ye Chi watched her get into the guard's car and frowned slightly.
The car arrived at the People's Hotel, and Gu Jianguo and the others got out. Ye Chi smiled and said to Gu Jianguo, "Uncle Gu, I want to say a few words to Yimin."
Gu Jianguo glanced at his daughter, then hummed after a moment's silence. Things had to be made clear. This trip to the Ye family had made him realize that no matter how good Ye Chi was, he wasn't suitable for Yimin.
Wang Yueju followed Gu Jianguo in and whispered, "The Ye family is really not good enough, will Yimin..."
"No," Gu Jianguo said, "Yimin knows what he wants."
Wang Yueju was still a little worried and whispered, "Ye Chi's stepmother told me, both openly and covertly, that his family looked down on Yimin and that we were marrying up. I told her at the time that we had no such intentions, and neither did Yimin. I used to think Ye Chi was perfect in every way, but now it seems that given the situation in his family, I would never let Yimin marry into their family. It's such a mess."
Gu Jianguo hummed with a bad look on his face. No one would be happy if their daughter was looked down upon.
There was a small garden next to the People's Hotel. Gu Yimin and Ye Chi walked to the edge of the garden's rockery. Ye Chi looked down at Gu Yimin, who was looking down, not knowing what she was thinking. Ye Chi organized his words. Even though he usually did ideological work for others, he was still a little nervous at this time.
"You've seen the situation at home today. It's not very good. But I will take care of everything at home. We..."
"No," Gu Yimin said firmly, "We are not suitable."
Ye Chi didn't expect her to refuse so firmly, so he asked, "What's inappropriate?"
"It's not suitable in any way." Gu Yimin said, "Our family backgrounds are too different. I graduated from junior high school and you graduated from college. You are a battalion-level cadre, and I don't even have a formal job. I'm not worthy of you. This is what your sister told me."
Ye Chi was shocked. He didn't expect Ye Ling to say this to Gu Yimin. He quickly said, "She is not..."
"I think some of what she said is right, and some is wrong." Gu Yimin interrupted him and said, "There is indeed a big gap between our family backgrounds. You have a higher education and stronger abilities than me. I am indeed not worthy of you now. However, you are 27 and I am 19, an 8-year age difference. Who knows what I will be like in 8 years? However, even if I become outstanding in 8 years, we will not be worthy of each other because you will be too old by then."
After saying these words, Gu Yimin's depression almost dissipated. Anyone would be unhappy if they were belittled like that.
Even if Ye Chi could speak again, he didn't know how to speak or what to say. At this moment, a voice came from the other side of the rockery:
"Ye Chi is young and promising, but if we're dating, he's really not as suitable as me. Let's talk about making money first. I'm working in foreign trade now, and I make more in a day than he does in a year. And as for family, his father holds a high position in the army, and my father is a high-ranking official.
After his father's wife died, he married a younger wife. I don't know if his stepmother is good or not, but life must have been difficult with a new mother-in-law after marriage. Look at my father, he didn't remarry after my mother died. If we get married, you won't have a mother-in-law to control you, and my father likes you, so your life will definitely be comfortable.
So, you should be discriminating against Ye Chi, not me. He can't compete with me in terms of his father."
