Chapter 152 Confession
Su Xiangwan stopped teasing Gu Yanfei and sat down on the sofa with Niannian in her arms, saying, "Little sister, are you really sure? What if Mom and Dad..."
Gu Yanfei is already twenty-one years old this year. If it weren't for the storm last year, her marriage should have already been on the agenda.
If she were to suddenly propose now that she wouldn't consider marriage for the next three years, her parents might not easily agree.
"I will talk to my parents." Gu Yanfei knew that persuading her parents would not be an easy task.
Sure enough, Gu's mother became anxious after hearing Gu Yanfei say that she did not want to get married within three years.
"Gu Yanfei, do you know what you're saying? You're already twenty-one years old, not a child anymore. Do you know what it means to not get married within three years? You should know that in three years, you'll be twenty-four. By then, who will you be able to marry?"
Seeing his wife lose her temper, Mr. Gu quickly tried to calm her down, saying, "Don't panic, honey. Let's talk this out. Don't yell at the child; he's all grown up now..."
"You know the child is already grown up? Can't you hear what she's saying now? She said she won't get married for three years. Even if she wants to get married in three years, where will she find a suitable partner?"
It would have been better if Mr. Gu hadn't spoken, but once he did, Mrs. Gu immediately shifted the focus of her criticism.
She's too harsh on her daughter to scold her, but she's willing to scold her husband.
After being yelled at by his wife, Gu's father immediately shut up.
Yes, he overestimated his position in the family and shouldn't have shown up.
Well, that's it, you'll have to suffer!
After giving Gu's father a severe scolding, Gu's mother's anger finally subsided somewhat, and she was finally able to speak calmly with Gu Yanfei.
"Tell me! Who is it that made you suddenly have this idea..."
"I..." Gu Yanfei was about to say no.
He was immediately interrupted by his mother: "Don't try to fool me. I gave birth to you. Do you think I don't know whether you're telling the truth or not?"
Before Gu Yanfei could say anything, the phone suddenly rang.
Mr. Gu, who happened to be sitting right next to the phone, picked it up without hesitation.
"Hello..." Gu's father had just opened his mouth when he heard Su Xiangbei's voice from the other end.
"Uncle Gu, it's me, Su Xiangbei. There's something I feel I should inform you first and get your and Aunt's consent..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu's heart skipped a beat. His eyes immediately turned to his daughter, whose face showed a hint of guilt and unease. He pursed his lips, beckoned to Mrs. Gu to come and listen as well, and then spoke calmly, "You say..."
Su Xiangbei's humble and polite voice reached Gu's father's ears through the telephone line.
This conversation lasted for nearly ten minutes.
After Su Xiangbei explained his and Gu Yanfei's agreement to Gu's parents,
He then handed the phone to his parents.
After receiving the call, Su's father stated his position directly, explaining that he would return to China as soon as the situation allowed to propose marriage to the Gu family.
I will absolutely not put the Gu family in a difficult position.
The two families were already related by marriage, and Gu's father and mother naturally knew the character of Su's parents and brothers very well.
To be fair, aside from the fact that we are now separated by thousands of miles and countries.
Su Xiangbei is definitely an excellent candidate for a son-in-law.
If it weren't for the distance, they would be overjoyed that their daughter and Su Xiangbei had hit it off, so why would they try to stop it?
After hanging up the phone, Gu's mother and father exchanged a glance, looked at their daughter sitting opposite them with a guilty expression, and said, "So, you made this decision because of Su Xiangbei?"
Gu Yanfei hadn't expected Su Xiangbei to make such a call.
But no matter what, that phone call instantly relieved a lot of her stress.
He nodded immediately and said, "Yes, I made a promise with Brother Su that I would wait for him for three years."
Mother Gu's expression was somewhat solemn: "Yan Fei, do you know what the consequences would be if, three years later, you discovered that the two of you were not suitable for each other?"
Gu Yanfei pursed her lips, her eyes filled with determination: "But Mom, apart from Second Brother Su, no one else has ever given me the feeling of wanting to spend my life with them."
Father Gu frowned: "Yan Fei, actually there are many outstanding boys in the capital, such as Zijie. Didn't you two grow up together? You..."
"Dad, I only see Shao Zijie as an older brother." Gu Yanfei hadn't expected her father to mention Shao Zijie.
"Yan Fei, a marriage isn't solely based on love. Can you guarantee that you'll always have love for Su Xiangbei? You've only been together a short time."
Gu's mother tried to persuade her, saying that she only had one daughter and that if possible, she would prefer her daughter to marry Shao Zijie, who was down-to-earth, reliable, responsible, and lived in the capital.
Instead of Su Xiangbei, who was separated by thousands of miles and countries, with no certainty of his return.
Gu Yanfei naturally understood that what her mother was saying was based on decades of experience.
only……
"But Mom, isn't life about doing what you're supposed to do at every age, even if the road ahead is unknown, even if you know it might be difficult, but still pursuing your heart's choice without regret?"
Gu Yanfei's eyes were bright as she said, "Dad, Mom, I know you're both doing this for my own good, but could you please spoil me one more time and let me make my own choice in marriage?"
"Besides, I haven't just been waiting passively for the past three years! I still need to study, and my sister-in-law said that it's very likely that the college entrance examination will be reinstated."
"If things really get back to normal, I'll be taking the college entrance exam and going to university right away. I won't have any time to think about getting married!"
"So, in the end, I didn't lose anything at all, did I?"
Hearing Gu Yanfei say this, Gu's father and mother stopped trying to persuade her.
They had all been young once themselves, and they understood that Gu Yanfei was completely immersed in love at this moment, and there was no way they could persuade her otherwise.
I can only think that I should wait and see.
The only consolation is that Su Xiangbei is a very responsible person.
After confirming Gu Yanfei's attitude, he directly confessed his feelings for Gu Yanfei to Su's parents.
Let Mr. and Mrs. Su speak directly with Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
I will never let Gu Yanfei bear the pressure from her parents alone because of him.
It was precisely because of this that Gu's mother was able to calm down so quickly.
In the days that followed, Gu Yanfei, just as she had said, devoted herself entirely to studying and reviewing.
They are preparing for the possible college entrance examination.
