Chapter 188: The scene was awkward for a while
"Yueyue, don't be rude. What nonsense are you talking about?" Principal Wu was immediately embarrassed.
Mrs. Wu also quickly stopped her daughter, "Everyone, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. She is just like this cheerful person. She says whatever she wants. It's nonsensical."
"What I said is the truth."
"Our two families have known each other for many years."
"You all should know that I just like Brother Xing."
"I can't say I'm stunningly beautiful, but I'm pretty average."
"Although I'm not incredibly smart, I attended a traditional Chinese medicine university and have my own research and development team."
"There are actually a lot of people chasing me in school, including quite a few local young men."
"But I've never been in a relationship. Why? Because I like Gu Xixing. From the time I was a teenage girl with a crush on her, to now that I've grown up and matured."
"Yueyue..." Principal Wu didn't know what was wrong with his daughter tonight and why she said such inappropriate words.
As luck would have it, there was a divine assist, Gu Huan also spoke up, "I know, Sister Yueyue, you have always liked my brother."
"Although I also provided the drug that replaced OL12 this time."
"But I'm doing this for Brother Xing's own good."
"The medicine that solves the problem now is still provided by my family."
“But Brother Xing always thanks us verbally….”
After saying that, Wu Yue glanced at Gu Xixing.
"I haven't said anything verbally. I have already prepared 10 million and am going to donate it to the university where my teacher works." Gu Xixing has indeed ordered the company to prepare everything and is just waiting to go through the process.
"But our family is not short of money, and this money is not for our family." Wu Yue directly retorted.
"Yueyue, what do you want to say?"
This was the first time that Gu Xixing looked at Wu Yue so seriously.
He really treated her like a girl who had not grown up, and his attention was never on her.
"What I want to say is, if you really want to thank my dad."
"Just get engaged to me."
"Real gratitude, not just empty gratitude."
"Old Gu, this kid went crazy today and made a fool of himself." Principal Wu was completely embarrassed and apologized to Old Gu directly.
Unexpectedly, not only did Old Man Gu not mind, he was actually quite happy about it.
"Haha, I like this girl's personality."
"Straightforward, no detours."
"She has a strong personality, too. You can tell she's like a girl from the north."
Mrs. Gu also smiled and said, "Yes, Yueyue is a child that my husband and I love very much. Now it depends on Xixing's opinion... After all, it's not something that we elders can interfere with when it comes to relationships."
"Brother, just agree to Sister Yueyue."
"Uncle Wu has been very kind to you this time."
"If those people die, who knows how the rival company will slander our family."
"There really might be a crisis behind this." Gu Huan didn't understand any of this, and he only heard it from the conversations between his father and brother in the past two days.
Of course, being able to talk about such a private topic does not mean that we treat the Wu family as outsiders.
Principal Wu finally let himself get selfish and coughed softly, "Of course, if Xixing is willing to date Yueyue, our family would be very happy. We're just worried that the child won't have that blessing... Madam Gu is right about love; it still depends on mutual consent. Yueyue's words are just the thoughts of a child, so we shouldn't take them to heart."
After Principal Wu finished speaking, everyone looked at Gu Xixing with anticipation.
At this moment, he is in a difficult situation.
Of course he didn't like Wu Yue, but he couldn't just offend his teacher.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, an opportunity to ease the situation was given.
"Well, let me think about it."
"After all, I've treated Yueyue as my younger sister all these years. I don't know if I can adapt to the change in my relationship with her. I need some time, okay?"
After all, he is a modest gentleman, and even his rejections are very tactful.
But in an occasion like today, being able to say that they would consider it still gives us enough hope.
Wu Yue was immediately overjoyed, "Brother Xixing, how long will it take you to consider this?"
"Give me some time, it won't be too long, until I think it through."
"Okay, I'll wait for you then."
Wu Yue felt that she still had hope, and then exchanged a smug look with Gu Huan.
The adults all knew what the two little girls were thinking.
The rest of the meal was a bit awkward, and soon everyone finished and went home.
Before leaving, Gu Xixing asked the company's driver to pick up the teacher and his family of three.
It was a black Mercedes-Benz business car.
Before getting on the car, Gu Xixing supported Principal Wu.
"Teacher, please wait."
Principal Wu hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, but after two drinks today, he felt a little tipsy.
"Alas, I am old and useless."
"You're losing your composure after drinking so little."
"Nothing." Gu Xixing smiled.
"Your father drinks more than I do, and he's fine."
Gu Xixing turned to look at his father. "He's different. He's a drunkard, a seasoned businessman with years of experience. How many of you can't drink? You're different. You're in the academic circle, from a family of scholars. It's the opposite. How many of you can drink?"
"You kid, you only know how to make me happy."
"It was the teacher who cheered me up. Today, thanks to you, you saved those three people and their families. They say saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You are a blessed person."
Gu Xixing's words were sincere and heartfelt, but Principal Wu felt a little ashamed.
He himself knows best where this heart-boosting grass came from.
But due to some reasons, there is no way to reveal the real person behind it.
"Xixing ah..."
"Um?"
"Hey, it's okay... Anyway, as long as the matter is resolved, it's all fate. Speaking of blessings, it's you who are blessed that have this opportunity. People are willing to give you the magic herb because of your face, not me."
"Does the benefactor know me too?"
Principal Wu didn't answer, but patted Gu Xixing on the shoulder.
"Dad, get in the car, it's cold outside."
"You'll catch a cold if you drink." Wu Yue was already sitting in the car.
"I'll go back first." Principal Wu gave him a meaningful look.
"Teacher, take care."
After watching Principal Wu and his family of three leave, Gu Xixing picked up the phone and said, "Please help me check who my teacher met today, who did he call, and what kind of express delivery did he receive? The more detailed the better."
He had begun to suspect that, yes, his teacher was acting strangely today too.
I wanted to say something several times, but in the end I didn't seem to say it.
What Gu Xixing really suspected was that when he was in crisis, he first looked for his teacher, but none of the masters in the teacher's circle had ever mentioned the Heart-Buring Grass, let alone taken out this thing.
It was Doctor Sun who mentioned the Buxincao. At that time, only Doctor Sun, him, and...Tu Ran were present.
So, when the teacher took out the Heart-Buying Grass, Gu Xixing was indeed surprised.
He also felt that it was not in line with common sense, but he also believed in the teacher's character. The teacher was not the kind of person who would impersonate someone else for the sake of profit and fame.
On the contrary, he felt that Wu Yue’s statement about developing a substitute for OL12 was fake.
Wu Yue does not seem to be a very smart person, but there are indeed experts in Wu Yue's team, and this is undisputed.
Even after this incident, the student was very frightened, fearing that he would be found guilty.
But how could Gu Xixing be that kind of person?
The new product developed by the students is in the trial stage, and the child originally emphasized the need to test the drug.
So it’s not a fault. Failure is the necessary process for success.
Half an hour later
Gu Xixing has returned to the company to work overtime and deal with some urgent matters of the company overnight.
At this time, I received a call from my subordinates.
Subordinate: Mr. Gu, we found it.
Gu Xixing: How?
