Chapter 72: What type do you like?
After hesitating for a moment, Tu Ran decided to answer truthfully.
Tu Ran: Eating.
Xie Nancheng: Where to eat?
Tu Ran: Near the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Xie Nancheng: Who are you having dinner with?
Tu Ran: A friend.
Xie Nancheng: How come I didn’t know you had friends in Xiangcheng?
Tu Ran: There are so many things you don’t know, isn’t that strange?
Okay, okay, the boss is being criticized again.
But surprisingly, he was not angry.
Because at this moment, he was in a car on the side of the road opposite the restaurant.
A black Maybach was parked on the side of the road. He was originally going to a meeting at the branch office.
I happened to pass by and unexpectedly saw Tu Ran and another man by chance.
The floor-to-ceiling windows of the Chaozu Restaurant are very eye-catching, especially when there are not many customers.
So he could see Tu Ran sitting there at a glance, so Xie Nancheng stopped and wanted to test it out.
He had even concluded that Tu Ran would lie.
Because he has seen too many women lie in this situation.
So there was no hope at all.
But I didn't expect that Tu Ran would tell the truth without hiding anything.
Xie Nancheng just felt happy and was not angry or jealous because she was having dinner with a strange man.
However, that doesn't mean he will let her continue to eat smoothly.
Xie Nancheng: Go home immediately.
Tu Ran: What for?
Xie Nancheng: Tongtong is sick today, don’t you know?
Tu Ran: What does it have to do with me? She is not my child.
Suddenly I no longer had any complaints towards Xie Jiatong, but I forgot about my third uncle and aunt.
I was not sure at first whether it was Xie Huailan or Xie Huaishan who wanted to kidnap me.
When Tu Ran saw the guilty look in his uncle and his wife's eyes this morning, he understood.
She really couldn't sympathize with the mastermind who almost kidnapped her.
Xie Nancheng: You don’t care about Tongtong, but don’t you care about grandma either?
Tu Ran: What do you mean?
Xie Nancheng: Grandma is worried about Tongtong and is sick. She is not feeling well.
Tu Ran: Is grandma okay?
Xie Nancheng: You’ll know if you go back and take a look.
Tu Ran: Okay, I’ll go back right away.
Tu Ran guessed that Xie Nancheng would not lie, thinking that the old lady might be feeling unwell.
She stood up apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu."
"I have to go back first. There is something at home that needs to be dealt with."
"I can't have dinner with you."
"Don't be embarrassed, it's okay. Things at home are more important. We'll eat together next time."
"You treat me." Gu Xixing added.
He didn't mean to blame anyone, which made Tu Ran feel a little guilty.
However, he had only met Gu Xixing by chance and they were just casual acquaintances, so Tu Ran had no intention of getting too close to him.
After all, I am currently married.
Even though she and Xie Nancheng are not actually husband and wife, they are both members of the Xie family in name.
It is indeed not a good influence for a married woman to be with a strange man.
Tu Ran has always been a worried person, thinking a lot and being cautious.
So he simply said goodbye to Gu Xixing and immediately took a taxi back to Xie's house.
Gu Xixing took a quick bite and returned to the company.
In the evening, at the Gu family mansion.
A family of four gathered at the dinner table.
Gu Xixing, Chairman Gu, Mrs. Gu, and nineteen-year-old Gu Huan, Gu Xixing's sister.
However, Gu Huan is not her biological sister, but her half-sister.
The real Mrs. Gu died of illness more than ten years ago.
The current Mrs. Gu was married to Chairman Gu later. She is young and beautiful, and is only in her forties this year.
The current Mrs. Gu is not only beautiful, but also smart and wise.
I have been getting along with Gu Xixing peacefully over the years. Although it’s not very good, there are no conflicts either.
Especially since this stepmother only gave birth to a younger sister and could not seize the property, the Gu family remained peaceful.
"Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"
Gu Huan glanced at his elder brother and asked quietly.
"Why do you ask that?"
"You have a... unique fragrance, but you never wear perfume. You must have met a girl today, but you don't usually interact with girls, haha, so I guess you have a girlfriend."
"Well, you have a really smart little brain."
"Ah? Did I guess right?" Gu Huan was ecstatic.
"No, you're totally wrong." Gu Xixing held the bowl of rice and smiled.
"How is that possible? Brother, you are just too embarrassed to admit it?" Gu Huan was unconvinced.
"Not really. I'm already this age, why wouldn't I tell you if I really have a girlfriend?"
"How is the company's preparation for new products going?" Old Man Gu said seriously and changed the subject.
He doesn't care about his son's marital status, but he is very concerned about the development of the company.
Old man Gu has not resigned yet and is still the chairman of the board. He has to go back from time to time to give instructions.
But the weather has been getting colder recently, and he has cardiovascular disease, so he didn't go to the company.
"It's okay." Gu Xixing said.
"Is the price set yet?"
"Yes, nine hundred and six."
"Not low." Chairman Gu commented.
"Not that high. A pharmaceutical factory in the south released a similar drug a week ago, selling it for over 1,500 yuan, almost half the price of ours, and its medicinal properties are very mediocre. You get what you pay for. We've invested a lot of money to get it for over 900 yuan."
"We haven't released a hit drug in three years. I hope this time it goes well." Old Man Gu is a businessman after all.
Gu Xixing nodded and said nothing more.
"Ah Xing, what type of girls do you like?"
Mrs. Gu smiled gently and asked this question.
"Aunt Fang, why do you suddenly ask this?"
"I just went out to meet up with some wives recently, and we talked about you."
"Several ladies heard that you were still single and wanted to introduce you to someone else."
"You know, every family has a few outstanding relatives."
"I thought if you have a type you like, you could tell me."
"Then I'll have these ladies keep an eye out and try to find someone who's a good match for them."
"Equal social status is not important. We in Chengtian no longer need arranged marriages to consolidate our position. The daughter-in-law of my Gu family must be well-educated, able to live in peace with my family, and be able to support her husband and raise children." These words were said by old man Gu.
"Look at you, I asked Ah Xing, but you're so anxious."
"It's not you who's looking for it, why are you so anxious?" Although Liu Fang was half-jokingly teasing Old Man Gu, Old Man Gu was not angry at all, because Liu Fang was very good at acting coquettishly, making people feel angry but unable to do so even if they wanted to.
"Brother, then tell me what type you like."
"Maybe there are suitable college classmates in my school, and I can introduce them to you. Hehe." Gu Huan looked innocent and romantic.
Gu Huan is the daughter of a wealthy family who was well protected by the Gu family and grew up in a honeypot.
"You? Forget it, you're only nineteen, and your classmates are all little brats."
Gu Xixing is already 27 years old, and psychologically he is not willing to introduce his 19-year-old girlfriend.
"Are you stupid, brother?"
"I'm only a freshman, and we have seniors in our art academy who are in their third and fourth years."
"Thank you, forget it."
"You haven't explained yet, why is there a fragrance on your body today? Where does it come from?" The little girl Gu Huan was also relentless.
After hearing what his sister said, Gu Xixing actually lowered his head and sniffed.
It really is...
Gu Huan didn't say anything, and he didn't even notice that there was a faint herbal scent.
The first person that came to his mind was her.
