Chapter 137 Don’t Care So Much
Ye Chi's confession failed, and he was instead scolded by Gu Yimin. Her words "You are too old" in particular dealt an unprecedented blow to his self-confidence.
At this moment, he heard someone on the other side of the rockery criticizing him. Those words were so real that he couldn't refute them. Especially in front of Gu Yimin, he felt even more ashamed.
Gu Yimin naturally heard the words coming from the rockery, and she couldn't help but curl her lips. Zhang Zijun really knew how to choose the time and place to speak. However, the person being criticized was right in front of her, so she was embarrassed to smile.
At this time, Zhang Zijun's voice came again, "Also, although Ye Chi is often called a young talent, many families in Kyoto don't want to marry him..."
Ye Chi couldn't stand it any longer. He turned around and walked to the other side of the rockery. Looking at Zhang Zijun, who was smiling like a peacock, he said, "Zhang Zijun, speaking ill of others behind their backs, is this the way your Zhang family teaches you?"
Zhang Zijun was showing off his superiority by pulling Ye Chi down, but the person he was pulling down suddenly appeared in front of him. Are you surprised? Or embarrassed?
What surprised him even more was that Gu Yimin was standing not far behind Ye Chi. Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood before, that Ye Chi was dating Gu Yimin. Thinking that Ye Chi had heard what he said before, he grinned, "Ye Chi, you are here too? I was just talking about you with Erhui."
Gu Erhui looked up at the sky and said, "You were just saying bad things about others."
Gu Yimin admired Zhang Zijun's thick skin in her heart, and walked over to pull Gu Erhui away. It was obvious that this was a place of right and wrong, so it was better for the two of them to leave.
The two Gu sisters left, and Ye Chi looked at Zhang Zijun coldly. But Zhang Zijun came over with a smile, handed him a cigarette, and leaned against the rockery, saying lazily, "What are you doing? I'm not lying. Besides, we all have the same goal. From now on, we're family, so don't be so picky."
Ye Chi was too lazy to argue with a shameless second-generation rich kid. He glanced at him calmly and turned away. Zhang Zijun shrugged and muttered, "So stingy, and he's still a young talent."
Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui returned to the room, and Gu Erhui asked Gu Yimin: "How was your conversation with Ye Chi?"
Gu Yimin poured himself a glass of water, took a sip and said, "I refused. Today his sister said I was not worthy of him. I just told him that he would not be worthy of me in eight years."
Gu Erhui gave her a thumbs up and said, "Although Zhang Zijun is a bit frivolous, what he said just now is very true. Although Ye Chi is a good person, his family is hard to accept."
"I know. I just want to live a simple life. He and his family are not suitable." Gu Yimin sat down and said.
Gu Erhui sat next to her, "What about Luo Yongnian? Is he suitable?"
Gu Yimin thought for a moment, "Who knows?"
Gu Erhui smiled, "Yes, we should take a closer look. Just like Ye Chi, we initially thought he was a perfect person, but after getting to know him more, we realized he had such a wonderful family."
Gu Yimin didn't want to talk about her own affairs anymore, so she changed the subject: "What's going on with Zhang Zijun?"
Gu Erhui sighed, "I ran into him at the military compound. He misunderstood that there was something going on between Ye Chi and me, and he started pestering me."
Seeing that her tone was only one of helplessness, not disgust, Gu Yimin smiled and didn't ask any more questions. Only through deep contact can one truly understand people. Perhaps Zhang Zijun is suitable for Erhui?
Many things are hard to say.
At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Wang Yueju came in with Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing. The five mothers and daughters sat together and talked. Wang Yueju wanted to ask Gu Yimin about him and Ye Chi, but Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing were still there, so she didn't ask.
Thinking of what Gu Sanjing said at the Ye family about buying five houses, he asked Gu Siqing: "Xiao Si, why did you think of buying so many houses?"
"Having a house gives you confidence. Think about it, if the eldest and second sisters get married and quarrel with the eldest and second brother-in-law, they can then say, I have my own house, it's big, nice and spacious, and I don't want to serve you anymore. Don't you think it's tough?" Gu Siqing said.
Wang Yueju couldn't help but nod after hearing her words. Seeing this, Gu Siqing joked, "Mom, why don't you buy a house too? Whenever you feel annoyed with my dad, you can go and stay there for a few days."
Wang Yueju laughed when she heard this, "You are the only one with so many tricks up your sleeve."
Gu Yimin and the others also started laughing. At this time, the door of the room was pushed open and Gu Jianguo stood at the door.
The five mothers and daughters in the room: "..." They all fell silent.
Seeing this, Gu Jianguo asked in confusion: "What's wrong? I just heard you laughing."
"...we were talking about buying a house," Gu Siqing said, "I told my mom that owning a house would give me confidence..."
She repeated her theory, and Gu Jianguo said, "Then buy a few more. I've thought it's better to buy houses than to keep the money in the bank. Now that the country has reformed and opened up, more and more people, like us, will move from the countryside to the city to do business, work, or go to school. If they want to settle down in the city, they'll have to buy houses. Maybe the housing prices will go up by then. Even if they don't, it won't be difficult for us to sell them then."
Gu Siqing had to give a thumbs up to her father. With such thinking and vision, if you don’t become a nouveau riche, who will?
After the matter was settled, Gu Jianguo called Gu Yimin out to talk. He wanted to ask her how the negotiation between her and Ye Chi went, since after all, the purchase of the house still required the approval of Ye Chi.
The father and daughter went to another room. Gu Yimin didn't wait for Gu Jianguo to ask, and said, "I don't think it's suitable for Ye Chi, so I refused."
Gu Jianguo was very pleased to hear that his daughter had not been dazzled by the Ye family's wealth and status. Patting her on the shoulder, Gu Jianguo said, "I understand. After buying this house, we will have no further involvement with the Ye family. Their help in buying us a house this time is considered as repayment for their life-saving grace."
Gu Yimin nodded, "Just do as you see fit."
They made their decision, and Ye Chi returned home. Ye Ling hadn't left yet. Seeing her, Ye Chi said directly, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
Ye Ling saw his expression and knew that he already knew what she had said to Gu Yimin. She was mentally prepared and followed Ye Chi into the room.
"Why?" Ye Chi asked after closing the door.
Ye Ling walked to the sofa and sat down, looking up at him and said, "Are you going to stand like this and talk to me?"
Ye Chi exhaled and sat down opposite her, then asked, "Sister, why are you doing this? Haven't I already started to deal with Liu Yuzhen? It won't be long before she might even divorce Dad. Why are you still doing this?"
