Chapter 502 This is a childhood sweetheart
After having dinner with Meng Qianjin, Dong Jianhong really never got close to Gu Siqing. Even when the two of them met, they were like strangers.
That's good.
It was Sunday, and Gu Sanjing was also resting, but she went out hiking with Xu Yusen early in the morning.
It's true that different couples have different ways of getting along with each other. When Gu Siqing was with Han Zhengping, they would just stay together and read books when they had nothing to do. However, when Gu Sanjing and Xu Yusen went on dates, they would either climb the Great Wall, climb mountains, or play ball.
Gu Siqing once asked Gu Sanjing, "Aren't you tired of training with the team every day? You have to go out for exercise after taking a day or two off."
Gu Sanjing asked her in return, "Aren't you tired of studying and reading every day at school? You even hold a book and read during breaks."
Gu Siqing didn't feel like going out to play, so she continued to prepare her novel at home. She had started preparing for this novel when she was a freshman, and now that her junior year was almost over, the preparations were about to be finished.
This shows how much effort she put into this novel. However, she plans to start writing it after graduation.
In the afternoon, Gu Sanjing and Xu Yusen came back. Gu Sanjing went to Gu Siqing and said, "Xu Yusen said he wanted to talk to you about something. Let's have dinner together outside tonight."
Thinking that they were discussing the use of the house, Gu Siqing agreed.
Around five in the afternoon, the three of them went out to eat together. Gu Sanjing said she wanted to eat hot pot, so they went to a hot pot restaurant together.
After ordering the dishes, Xu Yusen poured a glass of juice for each of the sisters, then looked at Gu Siqing and said, "I plan to open a club. I have investigated many places and finally set my sights on a house near the Summer Palace. I found out that the house is under your name after asking around."
Gu Siqing hummed, "The house was originally under my grandfather's name, and later it was given to me."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to buy the house near the Summer Palace.
Xu Yusen understood. He listened to Gu Sanjing's story about the house. He took out a plan from his bag and handed it to Gu Siqing. "This is the plan for the club. Take a look."
Gu Siqing took it, flipped through it briefly, and then closed it, saying, "Okay, the house is empty anyway, you can use it."
Seeing that the juice in Gu Sanjing's cup was almost gone, Xu Yusen added some more and said, "Here's what I think. If this club makes money, I'll give you dividends based on your shares. If it doesn't make money, I'll pay you rent."
Anyway, she won't suffer any loss.
Gu Siqing naturally wouldn't take advantage of him, so she said, "Let me invest in it."
"Okay, I'll have someone draft a contract later." Xu Yusen said.
Gu Siqing responded, and the deal was settled. The pot was now hot, and the three of them began to eat. Just as they picked up their chopsticks, two young men in their twenties came over, looked at Gu Sanjing, and said, "Are you the diving champion, Gu Sanjing?"
"Yes." Gu Sanjing said.
The two young men were delighted and excited when they heard her words. They even danced with joy. After a while, they asked if they could give her an autograph.
Gu Sanjing had encountered this kind of thing many times, so she took the pen they handed her and, at their request, signed her name on their clothes.
The two young men left happily. Gu Sanjing said, "Thank goodness I practiced signing, otherwise my handwriting would be really embarrassing."
Gu Siqing and Xu Yusen both laughed, and then the three of them continued to eat. After dinner, Xu Yusen went to the parking lot to pick up the car, while Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing waited at the hotel entrance.
At this time, a group of men and women came over, and there was someone among them they knew, it was Meng Qianjin.
He was accompanied by a good-looking woman, and the two of them were chatting and laughing, looking very close. Seeing the two sisters of the Gu family, Meng Qianjin came over to greet them with a smile. Gu Siqing and Gu Sanjing exchanged a few words with him, and then Xu Yusen drove over, and the sisters said goodbye to him.
After getting in the car, Gu Sanjing said, "I ran into Meng Qianjin when I went hiking today. The woman next to him wasn't the same one as before."
"He's a well-known playboy in Kyoto," Gu Siqing said. Not wanting to discuss Meng Qianjin, she changed the subject: "Zhengping said he looked at a few houses in London and thought they were good investments. Do you want to buy any?"
The four sisters received dividends from the supermarket every year, and Gu Sanjing had quite a bit of money. But she didn't know how to invest, so whenever Gu Siqing had money-making ventures, she wanted to bring her along.
Gu Sanjing had absolute faith in Gu Siqing's earning power. Not to mention how much money Gu Siqing made from her books, she also made a lot from her last film investment. So when she heard Gu Siqing say she was going to London to buy a house, she said, "If you want to buy one, I'll buy one too."
After listening to the sisters, Xu Yusen said, "If you want to buy a house in London, I'll have someone find more properties later."
When he said that, Gu Sanjing remembered that he had more resources and connections in London, so she said, "Yes, you know London better."
"If you want to invest, besides London, there are other cities in the UK with good real estate resources."
Xu Yusen began to analyze the real estate markets in the UK and other countries for them. Gu Sanjing sat in the passenger seat, looking at his profile and listening to his low voice. She felt that Xu Yusen was quite charming at this moment.
It was only around seven when they got home. Gu Siqing went back to her room to read, while Gu Sanjing was dragged by Xu Yusen to his house. It was neither too hot nor too cold in this season, so the two of them sat at the table in the yard and drank tea.
The chair was spacious and comfortable. Gu Sanjing leaned back, holding a cup of tea, legs stretched out, and sat however she felt comfortable. This sitting posture naturally had no aesthetic appeal, but in the eyes of Xu Yusen, who had been trained in strict etiquette since childhood, it was adorable.
He also leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed and comfortable.
"What investments are you making now?" Xu Yusen asked.
The two of them had known each other for quite some time, but they had not spent much time together, so Xu Yusen did not know many things about Gu Sanjing.
He always felt that Gu Sanjing would not have much money in her hands. After all, the national team salary was not very high. Moreover, even if Gu Jianguo gave her pocket money every month, it would not be much.
Just like their family, the pocket money Xu Likang gives to his daughters every month, although it is not small, it is definitely not enough to buy a house in London.
But today, Gu Siqing mentioned buying a house in London, and Gu Sanjing directly agreed to buy it, which meant that she still had some funds. Of course, he was not interested in the funds she had, but wanted to take her to make some investments.
Of the four daughters in the Gu family, Gu Erhui manages the company and is naturally adept at making money and investing. Gu Yimin works in finance and is also quite capable in investing. Although Gu Xiaosi is still a student, he also earns a lot of money from publishing books and acting in movies and TV series.
Only San Jing wasn't interested in making money, so he wanted to help San Jing with her investments.
Gu Sanjing's mind was definitely not on making money. Although she couldn't be said to be single-minded, she wouldn't focus on two or more things at the same time. Her main focus was on diving, and even her relationship with Xu Yusen was just a side job.
If Xu Yusen had not pursued her so closely and the two of them had not gotten along well, she would not have had a boyfriend before retiring.
"I don't understand what investment is. If Xiaosi buys a house, I will buy a house. If Xiaosi invests in movies, I will invest in movies too." Gu Sanjing said.
Xu Yusen couldn't help but chuckle, "That's good. Gu Xiaosi has a good eye for investment."
Gu Sanjing nodded and continued drinking her tea. She didn't have much desire for money. The money in her hand was just a number to her, and she usually had no place to spend it.
"How much money do you have?" Xu Yusen asked.
Gu Sanjing thought for a moment and said a number. Xu Yusen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to have so much money. Then he listened to Gu Sanjing's explanation, "We four sisters can receive a dividend of 1% every year from our family company."
Xu Yusen understood, "Then do you want to invest in my club?"
"Are you short of funds?" Gu Sanjing asked.
Xu Yusen: “Yes, a little bit.”
In fact, not to mention that he has no shortage of funds, even if he does, the little money she has is not even a fraction of the entire investment.
When Gu Sanjing heard that he was short of funds, he said without thinking, "How much do you need? I'll give it to you later."
"Okay, I'll tell you when my budget comes out."
Xu Yusen lowered his eyes to look at the tea in his hand, which was clear and lightly fragrant. He said he was short of funds, and she immediately offered to give him money. He had never met such a "silly" girl before, "silly" in a cute way, "silly" in a heartwarming way.
"Aren't you afraid that I will pay you back?" Xu Yusen asked.
"If you want to pay me, pay me back yourself." Gu Sanjing didn't know why she said that, and her face flushed. It must have been from a movie she saw; there was a line like that in that movie written by Xiao Si.
Xu Yusen looked at her and smiled, "Okay."
The atmosphere between the two became ambiguous.
Gu Sanjing was a little embarrassed, and after saying a few more words to her, she was about to go home. Xu Yusen got up and sent her to the door of Gu's house. He watched her go in before turning back to go home. He sat on the sofa in the house, thinking about what Gu Sanjing had just said, and couldn't help laughing.
Gu Sanjing was still a little embarrassed when she got home, her face blushing. When Gu Siqing saw her, she smiled and said, "Hey, what did you do just now?"
Gu Sanjing knew she was teasing him, so he said, "We'll do whatever you and Zhengping do together."
Gu Siqing smiled slyly and leaned close to her ear and said, "We kissed, did you kiss too?"
No matter how thick-skinned a young girl is, she would be shy when talking about such things. Gu Sanjing glared at Gu Siqing and said, "We didn't."
"Hahaha"
Gu Siqing laughed when she saw her shy little look. Gu Sanjing became angry and raised her hand to hit her. Gu Siqing ran away quickly and Gu Sanjing chased her. The two sisters started quarreling in the yard again.
Gu Yimin stood beside him, holding her belly and laughing, saying, "Xiao Si, how did you bully San Jing again?"
Gu Siqing laughed as she ran, "Ask her."
Gu Sanjing naturally wouldn't say anything. She rushed forward quickly, hugged Gu Siqing and tickled her. Gu Siqing quickly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, haha, third sister, I was wrong, hahahaha"
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble," Wang Yueju came over and said, "It's late, it's time to go to bed."
Gu Sanjing let go, and Gu Siqing held her knees and gasped, her physical strength couldn't keep up! However, judging from the current situation, Sanjing and Xu Yusen get along well.
The next day, Gu Sanjing returned to the team for training. Xu Yusen signed a shareholding agreement with Gu Siqing, and Gu Siqing gave him the house, allowing him to do whatever he wanted with it.
Ye Chi's bodyguards from the army arrived. Following Gu Siqing was a young man in his twenties named Hao Qiang. He was tall and strong, and he made people feel safe. Gu Siqing asked him to pick her up from school every day.
After school that day, Hao Qiang drove the car to the door of Gu's house. When Gu Siqing got out of the car, she saw a beautiful woman in exquisite clothes standing in front of Xu Yusen's house next door. Seeing Gu Siqing looking at her, the woman smiled politely at her.
Gu Siqing smiled back at her, but she was still confused as to who this person was. Xu Yusen had many half-sisters, but he didn't have a good relationship with any of them, so it was unlikely that he would come looking for her.
So who is this woman?
"Are you looking for the owner of this house?" Gu Siqin asked with a smile.
"Yes, but no one answered when I knocked on the door." The woman spoke in a Hong Kong accent.
"Then she's probably not at home." Gu Siqing walked over and asked her with a smile, "Are you the owner of this house?"
The woman smiled, a smile that was a bit shy. "Do you know Yusen?"
Gu Siqing lowered her eyes slightly and called Xu Yusen "Yusen". They should be close relatives. She smiled and said, "After all, we are neighbors, so of course we know each other. He is not at home, why don't you come to my house for some tea? Maybe Mr. Xu will be here soon."
"Thank you." The woman smiled and followed Gu Siqing into the Gu family's house.
Wang Yueju was at home and saw Gu Siqing bringing a strange woman. She asked who she was. Gu Siqing said, "She's looking for Mr. Xu next door. Mr. Xu is not here, so I asked her to wait at our house for a while."
"Please sit inside." Wang Yueju said.
Gu Siqing led the person to the main hall. Wang Yueju frowned at the woman's back. She understood that Gu Siqing wanted to explore the relationship between this woman and Xu Yusen, otherwise she would not call Xu Yusen "Mr. Xu" and act as if she was not familiar with Xu Yusen.
Gu Siqing asked someone to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "My name is Gu Siqing, what's yours?"
"My name is Cao Lanxin."
"Did you just come from Hong Kong?"
"yes."
"I've been to Hong Kong once. It's very beautiful and prosperous."
"When did Miss Gu go?"
"I went shopping at the end of last year."
"Next time you go, be sure to let me know and let me play my part as a good host."
"Okay, Miss Cao's ancestral home is Hong Kong?"
"Yes, my ancestors are from Hong Kong."
"You and Mr. Xu?"
"We grew up together."
After chatting for a while, Cao Lanxin stood up and said goodbye, saying she would come see Xu Yusen another day. Gu Siqing walked her to the door, smiled as she got into the car and left, then put away the smile on her face.
We grew up together, we are childhood sweethearts!
Let me explain Xiao Si's approach to the Dong Jianhong incident. First, why did Xiao Si contact his second brother-in-law after the incident? Meng Qianjin is his cousin, and Xiao Si and Meng Qianjin are only acquaintances, not close friends. Xiao Si contacted his second brother-in-law simply to have him inform Meng Qianjin and have him resolve the Dong Jianhong issue.
Then why didn't Xiao Si expose Dong Jianhong? It's hard to explain why Dong Jianhong once had a crush on Kang Yuanze and used Xiao Si to get close to him. Dong Jianhong didn't date Kang Yuanze, so why would Xiao Si just make empty claims without evidence? Did she mention Meng Qianjin's letter? Besides, their relationship wasn't a close one to begin with, so why get involved?
Furthermore, Meng Qianjin was a playboy and had been with more than one woman. Could it be that Dong Jianhong was dating him because of his money and family background? Of course, it was obvious. But he still dated Dong Jianhong and even wanted to marry her because she had some desirable qualities. For example, she was a student at a prestigious university, had decent looks, and was well-behaved and obedient (of course, this was just a facade).
So, these two people understand each other, they don't want love, they just want what they need. Why should Xiao Si care?
Of course, everyone handles the same thing differently.
