Chapter 655: Will you count them yourself? (Two chapters combined)
When Gu Yin and her companion arrived at the club, Li Mengxin was introducing the packages to a client.
Upon seeing the two approaching, Li Mengxin's eyes lit up. Then, she said apologetically to the customers, "My child has come over. I suppose they need to see me. Mrs. Fang, let our store manager introduce you to the business. If there's anything you don't understand, just let me know later! Sorry, I'll be going now."
Mrs. Fang followed Li Mengxin's gaze and saw that there were indeed two young men waiting. She nodded and said, "Mr. Li, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll take care of things here by myself!"
After the three people left, Mrs. Fang looked at the shop manager who had come to greet her and asked curiously, "Were those two Mr. Li's children?"
The store manager had never met Chu Yan, but Gu Yin had, so she nodded: "Yes, that's the boss's daughter. She studies at Qingda University and is a very outstanding student, but she rarely comes here, so we don't know much else about her."
Mrs. Fang nodded upon hearing this: "She's really beautiful! Well-educated, and from a good family too. She's really lucky to have been born into such a family!"
The store manager smiled but didn't take the order. Instead, he placed the membership program in front of Mrs. Fang: "Mrs. Fang, shall we take a look at this?"
Mrs. Fang looked away and began to watch as well.
In the office, Li Mengxin poured water for the two of them and asked with a smile, "When did Ayin get back?"
"I just got back this morning. I've been traveling too much these past few days, and my shoulders are really sore. I thought I'd come over to see my mom and aunt and get them massaged while I'm at it. By the way, where's my aunt?"
Li Mengxin sat down and smiled, "She's upstairs watching. You'll see her when you go up in a little while. Have you eaten yet? If not, I'll have someone buy you some."
Sometimes when they're busy, Li Mengxin and Li Xiang won't go home for dinner, but will order takeout with their employees.
Gu Yin shook her head: "We've already eaten before we came. Lan Yan has already returned to the capital. He's coming to our house for dinner tonight. Grandma said he'll also be recognizing him as a godfather. Aunt Zhu and Grandma are preparing dinner at home. Mom, remember to tell Auntie to go back early this afternoon."
Li Mengxin was surprised to see Lan Yan return and asked in delight, "Is he alright? Is he hurt?!"
"Very healthy!"
"That's good! I'll arrange things for today later, and we'll go back early. It's already around two o'clock. Go upstairs and ask your aunt to arrange a room for you. Ayan, go to the office and chat with your uncle. He's slacking off here today and is just lounging around in the office."
Chu Yan nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, then A Yin and I will go up first, you go ahead with your work."
The two went upstairs but didn't see Li Xiang. They went to the office and saw Li Xiang and Gu Qingming testing aromatherapy.
"Why did you all come here?!" Li Xiang put down the aromatherapy bottle and asked with a smile.
Gu Yin put her bag down: "I'll come over and massage it. I've been sitting in the car a lot lately, and my shoulders are a bit stiff."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiang sat up and said, "Let's go then. We have a fixed room in our own house. I'll find you a skilled cook! He can help you loosen up your muscles!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this and looked at Chu Yan: "Then you wait for me here now."
Gu Qingming smiled and reached out his hand: "Ayan, come play chess with me. You've been smelling the aromatherapy all morning, your nose is almost ruined! Perfect! I need to relax!"
Chu Yan smiled and said, "Go ahead, I'll play chess with my uncle and wait for you."
After Gu Yin and Li Xiang left, the two set up the chess pieces and began to play.
While playing chess, Gu Qingming laughed and said, "Why are you so clingy? You've followed me all this way! This place only caters to female guests, what are you doing here?"
Chu Yan chuckled: "Ayin rarely has free time. If I don't keep her company, she'll go back to the lab. Even if I wanted to be close to her, I couldn't. It's only natural that I came along. But you, Uncle, you see Aunt every day. Why are you still staying here? You can't move around and you're just cooped up in the room. Don't you get bored? I remember the office over on the commercial street is over 100 square meters. There's a park right across the street. Isn't it comfortable to stay there?"
Gu Qingming wasn't afraid of being laughed at by Chu Yan. He looked at the door and, seeing no one coming, whispered, "I'm here to assert my dominance!"
Chu Yan was surprised: "Declaring sovereignty? Could it be what I'm thinking?"
Gu Qingming snorted and nodded, saying, "I left work early a few days ago to pick someone up, and guess what?! Someone actually sent flowers to your aunt!! Roses, no less! Good heavens, the person who sent the flowers was only about thirty years old! What's wrong with people these days? Knowing that she's married and has children, they still do these kinds of messy things!"
Chu Yan thought about how Aunt Li and her aunt looked about ten years younger after returning from their trip abroad, and then she remembered how fair-skinned and elegant they looked just now. No one would disagree that they were in their thirties! So she understood!
However, Chu Yan didn't say it outright. Instead, he explained for Li Xiang, "Could it be that you've misunderstood something? Or is there something else you don't know? For example, her boyfriend is working on a project here, and his skin has improved, making him more confident. Or perhaps her mother asked him to bring it over?"
Gu Qingming sneered, "It's not a misunderstanding! I was standing right next to your aunt! I even said that the kids were coming home today, so let's go back early. But that guy just said, 'Seriously? Mr. Li is so busy, yet he still has to go home to cook for his kids? Unlike me, if my wife were that busy, I'd practically feed her! I wouldn't want her to work so hard!' Listen to that! Listen to that! I almost slapped him right then and there! I was so angry!"
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, coughed lightly to suppress a laugh, and asked, "Ahem, what was your aunt's reaction?"
Gu Qingming's lips curled up: "I was already there, what else was there to react! I definitely yelled that guy away! Although I'm older than that guy, I'm not bad either! Mature and charming! And I obediently handed over all my money! That guy is nothing but a sweet talker!"
Chu Yan couldn't help but laugh: "If that's the case, then why are you still here guarding?"
"I'm just afraid of those shameless people harassing my wife!"
"Just this once, and you keep nagging about it every day, that's enough! Ah Yan is still here! What nonsense are you spouting!" Li Xiang rolled her eyes as soon as she entered the room and heard Gu Qingming's words.
"Besides, didn't I already say it was a misunderstanding? He thought I was single, so he sent flowers. After he found out I was married, he stopped coming. Why are you still thinking about it for so long?"
Seeing her return, Gu Qingming blinked, stood up, sat on the left, and continued to help identify the fragrance.
"I saw you talking to him when I came over yesterday!"
Li Xiang said helplessly, "Mrs. Fang is one of our clients! That man is her son. He came yesterday to pick her up! That's not what she meant! What are you thinking?!"
Gu Qingming ignored her and instead looked at Chu Yan, saying, "That Mrs. Fang not only has feelings for your aunt, but she also asked A-Yin's mother! Doesn't she see how stingy her son is, yet he dares to have such thoughts! I heard they came again today; they're still up to no good!"
Chu Yan exclaimed in surprise, "She's even after Auntie?! No way! I have to tell Uncle Gu!" With that, she took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Qinglang.
Gu Qinglang was in a meeting: "The new game that came out last time received a very good response. In just one week, the number of registered users has exceeded 100 million. The technical department must pay close attention. We can't let the game lag or become unplayable just because there are so many people. I don't want such a basic mistake to happen. If the player experience is bad, the game is doomed. And the customer service department, the more people there are, the more careful you need to be with your attitude. By the way, regarding the issue of minors not being allowed to register, arrange it as soon as possible. Don't delay. Only those over 18 years old can register! Don't cause unnecessary disruptions; nip it in the bud now..."
As they were talking, his phone vibrated. Gu Qinglang picked it up and opened it to read the message Chu Yan had sent.
"Uncle Gu, I heard someone's got his eye on Aunt Li. My uncle told me that when I came to the club today, Ah Yin and I said that the guy even gave them roses! Oh, and that guy came again today! I heard he's in his early twenties or thirties! And he's very handsome!"
Gu Qinglang: "..." Gu Qinglang pinched his brow and looked at everyone: "I have to go out for a while. I'll have Lao Wu lead the rest of the meeting."
The fifth brother, a purely technical guy, watched helplessly as Gu Qinglang left! No, wait, he's completely clueless about meetings! All he knows how to do is code! The fifth brother looked around with a headache, then his eyes lit up, and he pointed at Xiao Shiyi, saying, "...Manager Xiao, you come! You were involved in the whole game, you start!"
Xiao Shiyi: "...!!!"
Li Li, who was standing next to him, smiled and nodded: "Then let Manager Xiao do it. We are all highly skilled, but we don't know much about these things."
Seeing that both of them had said so, the others all agreed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shiyi took a deep breath, then stood up and walked to the front, continuing calmly from where Gu Qinglang had just left off.
On the other side, Gu Yin had just finished massaging her shoulders and neck when she saw Gu Qinglang at the stairwell.
"Dad? What brings you here?"
Gu Qinglang coughed lightly: "I heard from Ayan that you were here, so I came to see you on my way. Did you just finish a project?" Seeing her hair down, Gu Qinglang asked.
Gu Yin nodded: "I just finished. Do you have anything else to do later? If not, let's go back together. Lan Yan is coming over for dinner tonight."
Gu Qinglang thought of the family reunion: "Are we going to become godparents? Should we have a big celebration?"
As Gu Yin walked toward the office, she shook her head: "Lan Yan said to keep everything simple, just have a meal."
Gu Qinglang nodded upon hearing this: "Then let's listen to him."
Gu Qingming saw Gu Qinglang and chuckled, "What brings you here?"
Gu Qinglang's face was expressionless: "Speak, what exactly happened?"
Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"
Chu Yan explained it from the beginning.
Gu Yin couldn't help but laugh: "A woman with a career and who knows how to take care of herself will never lack suitors. That's how charming you are! A wealthy woman is the best of the best! Mom and Aunt are wealthy women now!"
The two men inside looked furious!
Li Xiang burst out laughing: "Ayin is right! If I walk out with your uncle now, people will think we're father and daughter!"
That's actually an exaggeration. After the family's financial situation improved, and everyone had their own career, while we can't say they've reversed the aging process, everyone certainly has plenty of energy and spirit! Plus, with their clothes and appearance, they do look about ten years younger!
However, men don't pay much attention to skincare, while women do, so it's true that men's breasts are much larger than women's.
Gu Qingming glared at Li Xiang angrily: "I'm going to put on a face mask when I get home tonight!"
Gu Qinglang, standing next to him, touched his smooth face and breathed a sigh of relief: "Big brother should really take care of himself. Look at your belly. If you don't control it, you won't be able to fasten your belt later."
Gu Qingming: "...Which side are you on?"
Gu Qinglang raised his eyebrows: "I'm just telling the truth. I know that the truth hurts the most, but you have to accept reality."
Gu Qingming laughed angrily: "You have the nerve to talk to me like that? Look at how skinny you are, you don't even look strong! I've seen that guy, he has abs!"
Gu Qinglang frowned and looked at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan immediately looked at Gu Yin: "I have one too, eight pieces!"
Gu Yin: "!!!! Cough cough! Cough cough cough!!" Why did I have to say such a blunt truth! But are there really eight pieces? I wonder what they feel like to touch! Gu Yin's mind started to race!
Gu Qingming: "!!!!"
Gu Qinglang: "...I just wanted to ask you if what my brother said was true, not how many abs you have!"
Chu Yan's face flushed: "Well, I don't know either. I've never seen it. It's all what my uncle told me."
Li Mengxin noticed that the others looked strange as soon as she came in. Her older brother and her husband were pale and then turned pale, while her sister-in-law was laughing so hard she was pounding the sofa. Her aunt's eyes were unfocused, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Even Ayan's ears were red.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Qinglang replied with a smile, "It's nothing, I was just joking. You've been so busy you forgot?"
Li Mengxin nodded upon hearing this: "I've explained everything. Let's go home and see if there's anything we can help with. We can't let Lan Yan think we're being too casual! Don't just stand there, let's go!" After saying that, she took the lead and went downstairs.
Gu Yin and Chu Yan lagged behind.
As they went downstairs, Gu Yin couldn't help but tilt her head slightly and ask in a low voice, "I've never seen you work out before, do you really have abs?"
Chu Yan raised an eyebrow: "Or you can touch it and count it yourself?"
Gu Yin immediately stood up straight: "Cough cough cough!!!"
People in front of us looked over: "You have a cold?"
"No, I choked. Let's go, let's go. I wonder how Grandma and the others are preparing!" Gu Yin said and immediately ran downstairs. If she didn't run, she was afraid she would lose control and start hitting them!
Seeing Gu Yin's flustered appearance, Chu Yan couldn't help but chuckle, and slowly walked downstairs with his hands in his pockets.
As soon as Gu Yin stepped out of the gate, she was stopped by a wealthy woman.
"Is she Mr. Li's daughter?"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this: "Yes."
Mrs. Fang looked Gu Yin up and down and nodded: "She's really beautiful!"
Gu Yin frowned; the other person's gaze was anything but friendly.
Mrs. Fang pulled her son, who was standing to the side, over: "Look, this is Mr. Li's daughter. What do you think? Isn't she pretty?"
