Chapter 454: This is the first time I've heard of such a terrible man
Today, Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui came home. Gu Sanjing was playing with Pangpang. The little guy could walk, but he was not very steady. She was bending over and following behind Pangpang, afraid that he would fall.
At this time, Su Wenshan and his men arrived and introduced Xu Yusen as the owner of the house next door to the Gu family. Gu Sanjing straightened up and saw him. Without thinking, she said directly, "Aren't you the one with the watch?"
There was a reason why she said this. It was mainly because Xu Yusen had left the watch with her, saying he would pick it up later, but a year had passed and he still hadn't come to pick it up. Whenever she thought about it, she felt like she had taken advantage of him.
Therefore, in her mind, Xu Yusen was directly linked to that watch.
Her words confused everyone present. Gu Siqing smelled something different and asked, "What watch?"
Gu Sanjing recounted the entire incident in a flurry of voices, and everyone in the Gu family looked at Xu Yusen differently. He had left the watch with Sanjing, and he had also bought a house next door. His intentions were clear as day!
"Yes, thanks to Miss Gu's help that day, otherwise I would have been sleeping on the streets." Xu Yusen said with a smile.
Since they were guests, Gu Jianguo politely poured tea for them, and the men sat together to talk. Wang Yueju opened the safe, took out the watch, and asked Kong Xiuwan, "What's going on with him?"
Kong Xiuwan just found out that Xu Yusen had known Sanjing before. She also felt that Xu Yusen might be interested in Sanjing, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that he bought a house next to the Gu family.
She said: "My family is from Hong Kong, and we are old friends with the Su family. But..."
Kong Xiuwan thought Xu Yusen was a good person, with good looks and strong abilities. However, she was still closer to the Gu family, so she told the truth.
"But the Xu family is quite complicated. Xu Yusen's father, Xu Likang, was a womanizer. Xu Yusen's mother, Ai Sinan, was his first wife. She had been in poor health since giving birth to Xu Yusen. Under those circumstances, Xu Likang hooked up with her best friend and brought her home. That night, Ai Sinan had a heart attack and passed away."
After hearing this, Wang Yueju frowned. She felt sorry for Ai Sinan and thought that the Xu family was not a good place.
Kong Xiuwan continued, "Since then, Xu Yusen moved out of the Xu family and has been living with his grandfather. Later, when the old man of the Xu family passed away, he never returned to the Xu family.
Xu Likang knew Xu Yusen hated him, so he wanted to have a son to take his place and inherit the family business. But over the years, his daughters had given birth to dozens of children, but not a single son. Hong Kong people are even more conservative than we are; they insist only a son can inherit the family business.
A few days ago, Xu Likang called Wenshan to ask about Xu Yusen's situation and said that bringing Ai Sinan's good friend home was a misunderstanding. He simply wanted to ease the relationship with Xu Yusen.
"How could there be such a person?" This was the first time Wang Yueju heard of such a despicable man. It was Kang Yuanze's father who had an affair with his ex-wife's sister, and that was after his ex-wife died. He was so angry that she almost died.
"That's right." Kong Xiuwan also looked down on him. She added, "But Yusen is a really good kid. He's been working hard outside on his own for these years and has done very well. Wenshan often praises him for his decisiveness and courage."
Wang Yueju didn't respond to her words. She walked over to Gu Sanjing and handed her the watch. "Return the watch to me later."
Gu Sanjing took the watch and nodded. She also wanted to give it to him earlier.
"What do you think of Xu Yusen?" Gu Siqing asked in a low voice.
"We only met once, how would I know what he's like?" Gu Sanjing wasn't stupid, she knew what Gu Siqing meant, and added, "I'm already busy with training alone."
Gu Siqing thought this was fine. Sanjing was different. She was reborn, a young woman with an adult soul in her body, so it was okay for her to date someone too early. But Sanjing was a true eighteen-year-old, and with her innocent personality, it wasn't a good idea for her to date someone too early.
"Try hard to win a Grand Slam at the next Olympics," Gu Siqing said softly, "and then apply to study at Tsinghua University or our school."
Gu Sanjing was surprised. "Is it possible? Your school is the best school in the country."
"Yes," Gu Siqing said confidently. In her previous life, many Olympic champions were recommended to study at Tsinghua University or Peking University after retirement.
"After graduation," Gu Siqing made plans for her, "you can join the National Sports Commission, or even work for FINA."
No one had ever told Gu Sanjing about her future like this. She was sometimes confused, not knowing what her future would be like after retirement. Now Gu Siqing's words shocked her. She could still join the International Swimming Federation, could she?
"Can I?" she asked Gu Siqing.
"As long as you work hard, of course you can do it." Gu Siqing said, "You are the Olympic champion. Who can do better than you in diving? Why can't you?"
In fact, Gu Siqing understood that getting into FINA wasn't just about academic performance; it also depended on a country's international standing. Only when a country became strong would international organizations like FINA accept its people.
But things are in the hands of people. Gu Siqing doesn't believe that the people of the National Sports Commission don't want their country's athletes to enter international organizations. Only when they have their own people in international organizations can they avoid unfair treatment in international competitions.
Gu Sanjing's eyes lit up when she heard what Gu Siqing said. People need to have dreams. Only with dreams can life be motivated.
In the main hall, several men were chatting happily. Gu Jianguo had invited Su Wenshan and the others to his home for dinner. Having nothing to do before dinner, Zhang Zijun suggested playing mahjong. Gu Jianguo waved his hand, telling the young men to go play.
Then Zhang Zijun, Ye Chi, and Xu Yusen sat down at the mahjong table. Gu Siqing wanted to play, so she wanted to sit over there too. Zhang Zijun saw her and quickly said, "Let Zhengping come. You have too many tricks up your sleeve."
She could even ask for cards directly. If she asked Xu Yusen for cards, given Xu Yusen's current condition, he would definitely give her whatever she wanted! How could she play this game?
"Let him come." Gu Siqing snorted and sat next to Han Zhengping. Gu Yimin also sat next to Ye Chi, Gu Erhui sat next to Zhang Zijun, and Gu Sanjing sat on the other side of Han Zhengping with her chin in her hand.
She took out the watch and handed it to Xu Yusen, "Your watch."
Xu Yusen glanced at her but didn't take it. "I didn't bring that much money today. I'll leave it with you."
Everyone at the mahjong table: You’re really good at it!
"Take it back. You can pay me later." Gu Sanjing insisted on giving him the watch. Xu Yusen had no choice but to take it, but he did not wear it on his hand. Instead, he casually put it on the mahjong table.
