Chapter 584 It’s Too Difficult
The family gathered together today, and Wang Yueju prepared a sumptuous meal. After sitting down, Zhang Zijun said to Pangpang, "Pour a glass of wine for your Uncle Xu."
For some reason, Pangpang suddenly asked him to pour wine. He glanced at the people at the table and saw that everyone looked very secretive.
Although he didn't know why, he knew it was his turn to perform, so he walked over to Xu Yusen with the wine jug and called out in a baby voice, "Uncle Xu."
What could Xu Yusen do? He could only hold him in his arms and let him pour him some wine. He had realized that the purpose of today's meal was to get him drunk.
After the wine was poured, Ye Chi said, "Since Pangpang has poured it for you, you should drink it. You can't let the child down."
What could Xu Yusen say? He could only pick up his glass and drink it all.
After a while, Han Zhengping looked at him while holding a glass of soda and said, "Sanjing won the Grand Slam. Are you happy?"
He nodded, and then heard Han Zhengping say, "Well, let's do it to celebrate San Jing winning the Grand Slam."
Xu Yusen looked at the soda in his glass and said, "You want to fight me with soda?"
Han Zhengping hummed, "Xiao Si won't let me drink today."
Xu Yusen looked at Gu Siqing, who could only make up an excuse, "He'll have a cold tomorrow, so he can't drink today."
Everyone: ""
The excuse you made up is too casual. You will know today if you catch a cold tomorrow!
At this time, Gu Jianguo, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "You're going to catch a cold, so you really can't drink alcohol. Let's use soda instead."
Xu Yusen: No more words to say, just drink.
After a few rounds of drinking, Xu Yusen quickly became drunk. He wanted to pretend to be drunk, but Ye Chi and the other two had drunk with him before and knew his alcohol tolerance, so he couldn't pretend at all.
The next day, he woke up and looked at the unfamiliar room, feeling dazed. He looked at his watch and saw it was past nine. He got out of bed and went out to see San Jing sitting at the stone table playing cards. Seeing him, she smiled brightly and said, "Are you up?"
Xu Yusen walked over and sat down, rubbing his still confused head. Gu Sanjing stood up and poured him a glass of water, saying, "Congratulations on passing the test."
"What do you mean?" Xu Yusen asked in confusion.
Gu Sanjing explained to him, "One of the ways our family tests our sons-in-law is to get them drunk and see if they go crazy."
Xu Yusen was stunned after hearing this, and then asked carefully: "I didn't do anything yesterday, right?"
"Just go to sleep, it's very quiet." Gu Sanjing said.
Xu Yusen breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Zhengping drank with me with soda, is there a reason for that?"
Anyway, it’s definitely not because I’m going to catch a cold today.
Gu Sanjing: "When testing my eldest and second brother-in-law, he was still young and couldn't drink, so he used soda. Now that it's your turn, you can't be partial."
Xu Yusen: It’s a good idea not to favor one over the other.
"Hurry up and wash up. There's food left for you in the kitchen." Gu Sanjing said as he placed playing cards on the table.
Xu Yusen looked at the playing cards arranged in a pyramid shape and asked, "What is this for?"
"Fortune-telling," Gu Sanjing said, "I just learned it. I'll tell you when I learn it."
Xu Yusen smiled helplessly, stood up, touched her head, and went back to his home to wash up.
The day for the Xu and Gu families to meet arrived in a flash. Xu Likang, Xue Lizhu, and their three daughters arrived in Kyoto a day early. However, Xu Yusen did not arrange for them to stay in his own house, but booked a hotel for them.
Xu Likang was very unhappy, "I can't even enter your house?"
Xu Yusen ignored him, acting as if he was letting him think whatever he wanted. Xu Likang was furious. This son was born to oppose him. However, despite his anger, he was still smiling when he met the Gu family the next day.
The meal was amicable, and they also decided on the date for Gu Sanjing and Xu Yusen's engagement: three months later. Xu Likang wanted a grand ceremony, and Gu Jianguo had no objection. After all, both families were in business, so there weren't many taboos.
After dinner, Xu Yusen and Gu Sanjing sent Xu Likang and the others to the hotel. Xu Likang drank a little too much and went back to his room to sleep. Xu Yusen was about to leave when Xue Lizhu stopped him and said, "Master, I want to discuss something with you."
Xu Yusen stopped and said, "You go ahead."
He had a neither good nor bad impression of Xue Lizhu, and naturally had no feelings for her.
"It's not convenient to talk here. Can we go back to the room and talk?" Xue Lizhu said.
Xu Yusen nodded. Gu Sanjing felt that it might not be appropriate for her to follow him, so she wanted to go downstairs and wait for him, but Xu Yusen took her hand and followed Xue Lizhu into a room.
The three sisters of the Xu family were all there. When they saw Xu Yusen, they were obviously a little nervous.
After sitting down, Xue Lizhu said, "Young Master, I just want you to arrange for your eldest and second sisters to work in the company. They have nothing to do every day and are quite bored."
Xu Yusen frowned slightly, "Just tell him about this."
Xue Lizhu understood that he was referring to Xu Likang. She said awkwardly, "Your dad said girls don't have to work."
As she spoke, she looked at Gu Sanjing. She really envied Wang Yueju! Although they also didn't have a son, it was obvious that Wang Yueju had a high status in the family. This was because her four daughters were so promising!
The second daughter manages the company's operations, the eldest daughter manages the company's finances, the third daughter is a world champion, and the fourth daughter has published a book at a young age and has already achieved some fame. Furthermore, all four daughters have married well.
She really regretted not raising her three daughters well, otherwise she wouldn't be so passive and would have to depend on others for everything she did.
Xu Yusen naturally understood what she meant, but he really couldn't agree. It wasn't because he was afraid they would compete with him for his family property, but mainly because Xu Likang didn't allow them to go to work at the company, and there was a reason for that.
As far as he knew, Xue Lizhu's eldest daughter and second daughter seemed to know nothing except spending money.
Xu Likang was in charge of the Hong Kong business, so even if he wanted to get involved, it wouldn't be because of this. So he said, "Sorry, I can't get involved in the Hong Kong company."
Seeing that he refused, Xue Lizhu didn't dare to beg him anymore, so she looked at Gu Sanjing with pleading eyes. She could see how much Xu Yusen cared about Gu Sanjing.
Gu Sanjing caught her gaze and understood what she meant, but she pretended not to see it, smiled politely at her, and was pulled away by Xu Yusen.
Xue Lizhu sighed heavily. In fact, she had already thought of this result, but she didn't give up and always wanted to give it a try.
"I told you it's useless to beg him, but you still don't believe it." said Xue Lizhu's eldest daughter.
"That's right," Xue Lizhu's second daughter also said, "What's so good about going to work? It doesn't give you any freedom at all. I think it's pretty good now."
Xue Lizhu listened to what the two said, and she looked disappointed. "It's good enough to have money to spend, but you also need a status in the family. Can your family status be the same if you have a career or not?"
"I think you're doing pretty well now, Mom," said Xue Lizhu's youngest daughter. "Every month, Dad gives you more money than you can spend, and you have plenty of time to play. It's great."
Xue Lizhu felt a pain in her chest and didn't want to talk anymore. It was all her fault. She hadn't raised her three children well when they were young, and now it was too difficult to change their mindsets.
