Chapter 524: The vast mountains and rivers, the fireworks of the world
After Su Wenshan hung up on Xu Likang, he told Gu Jianguo that Xu Likang wanted to visit him the next day. Gu Jianguo didn't mind. It was just a meeting and a meal, not an engagement. Besides, more contact would lead to a better understanding.
After the matter was settled, Su Wenshan called Xu Likang back and made an appointment.
During dinner, everyone knew that Xu Likang would be visiting the next day. Old Lady Xia asked about the Xu family's situation, and An Ruijin told her in detail. The more Old Lady Xia listened, the more she frowned.
Seeing this, An Ruijin said, "Actually, the Xu family has always been very strict. Xu Likang is an exception. Besides, Yusen was raised by his grandfather. He's a really good kid."
Mrs. Xia didn't say anything after hearing this. Matters of the heart are hard to say. Someone you think is perfect in every way might not be the ideal person. Someone you think is not so good might actually be quite good. Zhang Zijun is a case in point.
It was just past seven o'clock after dinner when Gu Siqing took Han Zhengping to her room. She first took out the pair of watches she had bought today, took his hand and put the men's watch on him, and then asked him to put on the women's watch for her.
Then he said, "Do you owe me a condition?"
Han Zhengping: Your thoughts are so jumping that I can hardly keep up.
"Yes, what do you want me to do?" Han Zhengping said.
"Just," Gu Siqing leaned close to him and whispered, "Take me to a bar or a nightclub."
Han Zhengping was silent. He didn't know how to respond to her. Why did he suddenly want to go to that kind of place?
After a while, he said, "Are you entering a rebellious phase?"
Gu Siqing rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him, but in order to see the nightclubs in Hong Kong now, she said, "I'm just curious and want to go and take a look."
Seeing that he was unmoved, Gu Siqing continued, "You should know that once a person's curiosity is aroused, it is difficult to disappear if it is not satisfied. Will you choose to accompany me to satisfy my curiosity, or let me satisfy my curiosity on my own?"
Han Zhengping: What else can I say?
"I'm a writer," Gu Siqing hugged his waist and whispered, "If I want to write something, I need to be exposed to different people and things. If I just sit at home every day, I definitely won't be able to write anything."
"Well," Han Zhengping knew what she said made sense, so he said, "Whatever ideas you have, whatever life you want to experience, I will support you, but you have to let me accompany you."
Gu Siqing kissed him on the chin and said, "Okay."
The two of them agreed and drove to one of Hong Kong's most upscale bars, a place that was relatively less chaotic. After entering, Han Zhengping asked her, "Do you want to play outside or in a private room?"
"Let's go outside." Gu Siqing didn't come here to drink, but just wanted to experience the nightlife of Hong Kong in the 1990s.
Han Zhengping took her to a corner and asked, "Do you want to drink?"
Since I'm curious and want to experience it, I might as well experience it all.
Gu Siqing could still hold a bit of alcohol, so since she was here, she wanted to drink a little. Han Zhengping ordered her a low-proof wine. When the wine arrived, Gu Siqing took a sip and found it tasty, so she took another sip.
Then he put his lips close to Han Zhengping's ear and whispered softly, "You just said that you support me in everything I want to experience and that you will accompany me, right?"
The lights in the bar were dim, and the hazy light reflected on her face, making her look more charming than usual. Han Zhengping's Adam's apple moved, and he asked, "What else do you want to experience?"
"Do you have a cigarette?" Gu Siqing looked into his eyes with a smile, but Han Zhengping didn't know how to respond to her for a moment.
"Don't say you can't smoke." Gu Siqing said again.
Han Zhengping didn't know when he had revealed himself, but denying it at this moment was obviously not a wise move. He asked, "Want to try smoking?"
Gu Siqing nodded. She had never smoked in her past life, let alone this one. After being reborn, there were many things she wanted to experience.
Han Zhengping asked the waiter for a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and placed it to her lips, saying softly, "I feel like I'm trying to teach you bad things."
Gu Siqing took the cigarette and said to him, "The mountains and rivers are vast, the fireworks of the world, we will go through this life together."
After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, like the brightest light of summer, and Han Zhengping's heart was burned by her. His big hand tightly grasped her small hand, and he said, "To me, you are forever."
What was supposed to be a good experience of life turned into a confession meeting. In the end, they only took two sips of wine and didn't even smoke a cigarette. They went home in a trance.
The next day, around ten o'clock, Xu Likang and Xue Lizhu arrived at the Su family's home. The women sat together, chatting about family matters, while the men discussed finances. No one mentioned Gu Sanjing and Xu Yusen's marriage. But everyone knew the truth.
Everyone enjoyed lunch very happily. At around one o'clock, Xu Likang and Xue Lizhu said goodbye. After they left, everyone went back to their rooms for a nap. Wang Yueju said to Gu Jianguo, "He seems like a nice person!"
She was talking about Xu Likang.
"He is in charge of such a large company, which must be no simple matter, so he naturally maintains his image very well. Moreover, in the eyes of many people, his actions are not bad deeds," said Gu Jianguo.
Society is becoming more and more open, and there are many people like Xu Likang in the business world.
"Xu Yusen's stepmother speaks of Xu Yusen with special respect and calls him the eldest young master. This Xu family is really strange." Wang Yueju was a little confused about the situation of the Xu family.
Gu Jianguo understood. He said, "Xu Likang favors sons over daughters. Xu Yusen will be the heir of the Xu family. Xu Likang's current wife hasn't given birth to a son, so naturally he has to curry favor with Xu Yusen."
Wang Yueju understood and felt relieved after he said that. She was just worried that if Sanjing got married to Xu Yusen in the future, she would have a stepmother-in-law and her life would be difficult.
Now the stepmother-in-law has to look at Xu Yusen's mood, so there is no need to worry.
On this side, Xu Likang and Xue Lizhu returned home and were also talking about the Gu family.
Xue Lizhu only found out today that the Gu family had no sons, only four daughters. But seeing Wang Yueju's straightforward and generous words and actions, she knew that life at home was good.
This made her very envious.
We both don’t have sons, but why is there such a big difference between looking at how they live and then looking at ourselves?
"The Gu family's daughter will inherit the family business, right?" Xue Lizhu asked Xu Likang carefully.
"Why, do you have any other ideas?"
Xu Likang glanced at her and said, "That also depends on whether your daughter is capable. Putting aside other things, the majority of the Gu family's supermarket chain is managed by his second daughter. Which of your daughters has that kind of ability?"
Xue Lizhu felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to say anything. Her daughter was incapable, wasn't that because she hadn't been trained to inherit the family business since she was young?
But what's the point of saying this? Her daughter is already grown up, and her temperament has long been determined. It's useless to change it now. She doesn't want her daughter to compete for the Xu family's property. As long as Xu Yusen doesn't treat her daughter badly in the future, that's enough.
Today I saw that Wang Yueju and the two daughters of the Gu family were getting along well, so I hope that the Olympic champion will not be difficult to get along with either.
