Chapter 109: Benefits
"Brother Xing." Wu Yue was a little shy.
The two had actually just met during the day, but unexpectedly, Wu Yue came to Gu's house at night.
But it's not surprising. Wu Yue and Gu Huan have a good relationship and often go shopping and traveling together.
The difference is that Wu Yue dressed up carefully.
It's different from what I wear at school during the day.
Because of the environment in school, you should pay attention to your appearance.
Now, when she came to Gu's house for dinner in the evening, Wu Yue specially changed into a one-shoulder velvet dress.
In addition, she has a good figure and good looks, giving people a very delicate feeling.
It’s a pity that Gu Xixing is not someone who appreciates beautiful appearance.
He has always paid more attention to the inner spiritual level, perhaps a higher level of feeling.
"Yeah." Gu Xixing nodded slightly as a greeting.
There was no surprise on his face, but no lack of enthusiasm either.
He is just like that, indifferent to everyone, rarely loses his temper, but rarely happy either.
Gu Huan always calls his brother a master of emotional management.
"Brother, today mom made your favorite braised pig's trotters, haha." Gu Huan stepped forward and acted coquettishly.
Gu Xixing touched her head lovingly.
"You should eat less. If you are so fat, you might not be able to get married in the future."
"If I can't get married, then I won't. Anyway, my father and brother are rich and will support me for the rest of my life." Gu Huan said with his head tilted.
"Look at your little achievements. Don't bother your brother. Ah Xing, Yueyue, wash your hands and eat."
Mrs. Gu is a virtuous woman. Although she is not Gu Xixing's biological mother, she has always been good to him over the years.
At this time, Chairman Gu also came downstairs.
A family of four plus a guest named Wu Yue, a total of five people, sat in the restaurant.
Mrs. Gu prepared more than a dozen dishes, all of which were extremely exquisite.
"Open the wine Yueyue brought. I'll have some." Chairman Gu seemed to be in a good mood.
"Dad, your blood pressure is high, so drink less at night." Gu Xixing reminded.
"I'm happy today, it's okay to drink a little."
"It's okay, Brother Xing. This is the medicinal wine my father made himself. It has health benefits." Wu Yue said with a smile.
"Thank your father for me." Chairman Gu said as he poured the wine.
"Yueyue, are you tired from your internship recently?" Mrs. Gu asked, picking up some food for Wu Yue.
"It's okay, Aunt Gu."
"Brother Xing, I heard that your company is going to hold a competition?" Wu Yue's eyes almost never left Gu Xixing.
She was like a little fangirl, and everyone in the Gu family saw it.
"Yeah." Gu Xixing was in a bad mood and almost didn't want to talk in depth.
"Sister Yue, do you want to participate in the competition?" Gu Huan asked.
"I don't know what the competition is yet, but I overheard my mentor mention it today."
"They say Brother Xing is going to spend a fortune to host a competition in our school."
Wu Yue looked at Gu Xixing's expression as she spoke. She was actually expecting him to respond to her actively.
"We are still waiting for the company to release the specific plan, and we will announce it once it comes out."
"Okay, then I'll wait." Wu Yue smiled.
After dinner, Gu Xixing went to the study on the pretext of being busy with official business.
Wu Yue chatted with Gu Huan for a while and then left.
After Wu Yue left, Chairman Gu called his son out.
"Dad, what's going on?"
"I'll get straight to the point."
"What do you think of Yueyue?" asked Chairman Gu.
"She's a pretty good girl." Gu Xixing still had no expression on his face.
"Then you should marry Wu Yue."
"What? Marry? Dad, don't make a fuss. Marriage is such a big deal and should not be treated as a joke." Gu Xixing quickly refused.
"Can't you see that this girl's mind is on you?"
"I didn't notice it before, but I realized today that this girl has grown up and is not a child anymore. She is several years older than your sister. Principal Wu is an old friend of our family. There is nothing wrong with marrying a close relative." Dad Gu had been worried about his son's marriage, but today he suddenly realized that Wu Yue was also a good choice.
Although Principal Wu's family background is not as prominent as the Gu family, it is still a family of scholars and is not bad either.
This is mainly because the two families are familiar with each other, and Gu Xixing is Principal Wu’s disciple.
"Dad, please don't worry about my affairs, okay?"
"Then why don't you find it for me?"
"What are you so anxious about?"
"I'm not in good health. I'm afraid that if I die suddenly one day, I won't be able to see your child. What a pity."
"Dad, no, let's not discuss this anymore, okay?"
"I'm still busy with work."
Gu Xixing didn't give his father a chance to continue talking about this matter and directly closed the study door.
"Honey, how is it?" Mrs. Gu asked cautiously.
"This kid has grown up, his wings are strong, and he doesn't listen to me anymore."
"Well, let's observe first. Maybe they will fall in love with each other over time. Let Yueyue come home more often. Maybe Ah Xing will like her." Mrs. Gu felt that there was still hope.
At this moment, in the Xie family's old house.
When Tu Ran came back from school, his heart skipped a beat the moment he walked in.
Because she saw Mrs. Lin and her husband coming.
As the saying goes, one does not visit a temple for no reason. The two of them appearing here must have something going on.
Judging from the character of the Lin family, they probably have something to ask for.
"Ranran is back."
When Mrs. Lin saw Tu Ran coming back, she was so enthusiastic that it was a bit too much.
Not only did he take the initiative to help Tu Ran take off her coat, he also squatted down to change her slippers.
"Mother Lin, I can do it myself."
"No, Mom hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you very much."
"It's a rare opportunity. Give mom this chance, my good daughter."
Mrs. Lin is the same as Lin Siyao in this respect. She is very good at acting, especially when there are many people around.
Fortunately, the second and third wives are not here today, otherwise, it would be even more lively.
The old lady of the Xie family didn't say a word and watched everything.
"Hello, Mr. Lin."
"Is it hard for Ranran to go to school?" asked Chairman Lin.
“It’s not hard.”
"Oh, I said I would send you to school before, but you refused. Now that you've come to the Xie family, you've adapted to everything, haha." Chairman Lin's words were clearly directed to the Xie family.
Tu Ran felt a little disgusted after hearing this. After all, they had never mentioned anything about school in the past four years.
It is not easy to be able to tell lies with open eyes and do it so naturally.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go change your clothes?" Xie Nancheng glanced at Tu Ran. Knowing that she was uncomfortable and didn't like the Lin couple, he found an excuse to get her out of the way.
For the first time, Tu Ran felt that Xie Nancheng was helping him out, so he nodded and went upstairs.
Mrs. Lin took the old lady's hand and continued, "Old Madam, we don't want to trouble you, but the trouble my son Lin Chen has caused this time is too great, and our family can't afford such a huge loss. For Ranran's sake, you can't just ignore us, right?"
"Mrs. Lin, refuse moral kidnapping." Mrs. Xie reminded with some displeasure.
"Mrs. Xie, you have misunderstood. I am not trying to blackmail you morally. I am begging you sincerely. I know that everyone in Xiangcheng has this ability. Even Nancheng has it. All he needs is a word..." After saying that, Mrs. Lin glanced at Xie Nancheng quietly.
Xie Nancheng was lying on the sofa in a very leisurely posture, playing with a string of small-leaf red sandalwood.
"What can you offer in exchange?" Xie Nancheng asked.
The Lin couple was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting Xie Nancheng to ask so directly.
"Aunt Lin, you don't want me to do something for you and also pay you a bribe, right? To help you, you need to get good things in return. Director Pan is not so easy to fool. I have no problem doing things for you, but you have to pay for the things yourself, right?" Xie Nancheng asked with a smile.
"Nancheng, we still have a hundred-year-old ginseng in our family... I don't know..." Mrs. Lin hesitated to speak.
"Cough cough cough." Chairman Lin suddenly started coughing deliberately as a reminder.
Mrs. Lin suddenly remembered that Lin Chen had repeatedly warned her not to take out this thing, saying that it was priceless and could not be taken unless absolutely necessary.
