Chapter 540: The situation is not good!
After listening to Long Yu's words, Wu Chong said dismissively, "It's not over yet, how do you know if it's a tiger or a mouse? The higher you set your goals, the harder you fall. What do you say, young master?"
Xiao Sheng turned to look at Chu Yan and Gu Yin standing together in front of him and said calmly, "Who knows? Let's go and have a seat."
After speaking, he walked forward and sat down in the row in front of Chu Yan and Gu Yin.
The others followed.
Seeing so many people arrive, Gu Shu, Gu Hua, and Gu Le, who were not far away, quickly returned to Chu Yan and Gu Yin's side.
After Long Yu sat down, he turned to Chu Yan and Gu Yin and asked, "Aren't you going to the gala tonight? I remember Mr. Zhou and Mr. Chu have tickets."
Chu Yan shook his head: "I just got back to China today. After having New Year's Eve dinner, the kids in my family came out to play, so I didn't go to see them."
Gu Yin nodded in agreement: "I don't really like crowds."
Long Yu nodded, and seeing Gu Le and the others approaching, he asked curiously, "Little sister, is this your younger brother? He's very handsome. He looks a lot like you!"
Xiao Sheng and Wu Chong also turned their heads slightly.
Gu Le smiled and extended his hand when he heard Long Yu say that: "Hello, Zhou Gu Le, my older sister's younger brother. Thank you for the compliment. You are very handsome too."
Long Yu smiled and shook hands with him: "Long Yu, you're a friend of your older sister and Chu Yan. Where do you study, little one, and what grade are you in?"
Gu Le withdrew his hand and smiled, "Royal Academy, Level Six."
The Royal Academy is different from other schools. There is no distinction between primary, middle, high school and university. There are only academic stages. No matter how old you are, you will be in stage 12 when you first enter. After that, you can be assessed to see your learning ability and then be assigned to a more appropriate academic stage.
When Gu Le first arrived, he was in stage 12. After the assessment, he was in stage 10. This year, he will be in stage 6. The highest level in the school is stage 0. After stage 0, you will officially graduate. However, if you do not want to graduate and still want to study, that is not impossible, but there will be no stage distinction. You can leave whenever you want.
"The Royal Academy in Hong Kong?" Long Yu asked casually, considering the other party's family background.
Gu Le shook his head: "The United States."
Wu Chong exclaimed in surprise: "That aristocratic school that only accepts princesses, princes, and rich people from all over the world?"
Gu Le nodded: "That's right."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chong asked curiously, "What are the princes and princesses like in foreign countries? Compared to those in our country, which is better?"
Gu Yin looked at him strangely, and Gu Le frowned: "But I've never seen a prince or princess from our country, so how can you compare them?"
Wu Chong glanced at Xiao Sheng, and seeing that he showed no displeasure, pointed at Xiao Sheng. He then said to Long Yu, "What if we compare him to the three of us?"
Gu Le looked at him, then at Xiao Sheng and Long Yu, and finally laughed, "There's no comparison. They all have a similar air of nobility, but you can't tell their knowledge or abilities either. I can only say that none of them are fools."
Xiao Sheng smiled upon hearing this, and Wu Chong, though somewhat unconvinced, said nothing.
Thinking of Gu Yin's identity, Wu Chong asked in confusion, "Your younger brother went to the Royal Academy, why didn't you go? Which school do you study at?"
Gu Yin: "I don't like going abroad. I think Qingdao University is pretty good."
Wu Chong nodded: "You have good judgment! Good luck on your exam!"
Gu Shu, standing nearby, laughed, "My sister is already a student at Qingdao University, and she's the top scorer in the national college entrance examination! Isn't that amazing! She's also Professor Cheng's student! Isn't that even more impressive!" He couldn't wait to tell everyone he met how amazing A-Yin was!
Wu Chong: "Wow! Amazing! I admire you!"
Xiao Sheng looked at Gu Yin and saw her smiling gently. He couldn't help but admire her more and more. She was a smart girl.
Even after being praised so many times, Gu Yin still felt uncomfortable. She changed the subject, saying, "You have such an extraordinary air about you, why didn't you go to the Royal Academy?"
Wu Chong pouted: "I can't go."
Gu Yin blinked and didn't ask any more questions: "The schools in our country are also good, we don't necessarily have to go abroad."
Wu Chong agreed: "You're right!"
These people are neither allowed nor permitted to go to school, let alone to attend the Royal Academy, despite receiving invitations every year.
Long Yu's workplace is special. He did study abroad for two years, but he didn't go to that Royal Academy.
When Gu Shuyuan arrived and saw so many people, each with an extraordinary air about them, he felt a little uneasy, fearing that a fight might break out, since the other side was all men!
But since there was one person who knew Chu Yan and his sister, and the others were quite nice, he was no longer worried about causing trouble.
After enjoying the breeze, taking some photos, and watching the fireworks, Gu Shu felt hungry again.
He looked at Gu Shu and Chu Yan: "Shall we go home for a barbecue? We can eat while waiting for New Year's Eve, it's getting cold here, and it's almost time. Grandma will be urging us to get ready soon."
Gu Yin had no objection and looked at Chu Yan.
Chu Yan nodded: "Okay."
Gu Hua and Gu Yin had no objections.
So Chu Yan got up and said goodbye to Xiao Sheng and the others: "Young Master, you all have fun. We'll head back now."
Xiao Sheng stood up, glanced at Gu Yin beside him, and saw her staring at him with eyes as clear as water. Bewitched, the farewell words that were about to come out of his mouth turned into: "Barbecue? Can we have some together?"
His words silenced the entire room.
Gu Yin lowered her eyes. From Chu Yan's way of addressing them, from Long Yu's identity, and from the conversation between that person and Gu Le just now, Gu Yin guessed that their identities were not simple. There was a 90% chance that the eldest young master was the child of the top leader! The one who spoke to Gu Le should be the son of the number 2 leader.
"What? You don't want to?" Seeing that they didn't say anything, Xiao Sheng asked with a smile.
Chu Yan smiled and said, "How could that be? It's just that the family is mostly elderly people, and they're used to being comfortable. If there's anything I do wrong in terms of hospitality or in terms of offending you, I hope you'll forgive me."
Long Yu said anxiously, "Young Master, if we don't stay at the garden on New Year's Eve, the old man will hold us accountable. Let's go back after watching the fireworks."
Xiao Sheng regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. Long Yu gave him a way out, and he opened his mouth to agree, but Wu Chong waved his hand and said, "There's still time, right? It'll be more fun with more people. Let's go, it's just a barbecue. It's been a long time since I've relaxed. Let's have some fun. We can go back before midnight!"
After saying that, he reached out and put his arm around Gu Shu's shoulder, leading him towards the exit: "Brother, where do you live? Are you driving or walking?"
Gu Shu smiled and said, "It's over there on the Third Ring Road. It used to be a prince's mansion. Do you recognize it?"
“Tell me more, there are several princely residences over there!”
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Xiao Sheng felt a sense of relief for some reason. He looked at Long Yu and said helplessly, "Wu Chong is right. It's just barbecue. It's nothing. Let's go."
After saying that, he walked forward.
After everyone left, Long Yu pulled Chu Yan a little further away and frowned, saying, "Chu Yan, things aren't looking good."
Chu Yan chuckled: "I believe A Yin."
Long Yu nodded upon hearing this: "As long as the girl can keep her heart, there will be no problem. The young master's family background means he can't force her into marriage, but I feel a little doubtful. Such a family background isn't something that can be cultivated simply with money and power. Unless he's not tempted, once he is, it's hard for any girl to refuse him. Besides, the girl's family background isn't bad either, not to mention her own high level of education. With her conditions, there's basically no problem."
Chu Yan reiterated, "I believe her."
Long Yu: "..." Long Yu sighed and patted the other person's shoulder: "Let's go."
Chu Yan lowered his eyes and clenched his fist. He wasn't afraid that Gu Yin would change her mind, but he was afraid that with such an outstanding person around, Gu Yin would be disappointed after the comparison. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.
"What's wrong? What did Long Yu say to you? Why does your expression look a little off?"
Those people had already left, leaving only the two of them on the stage. Chu Yan took a deep breath and said, "That young master is the son of that family." Chu Yan pointed to the sky.
Gu Yin nodded: "I guessed it, so what did Long Yu say to you?"
Seeing her calm tone, Chu Yan hesitated and asked, "Aren't you surprised?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I was surprised, but after the initial surprise, it's nothing. We're from different worlds, and we might not meet again after tonight. Just treat him like an ordinary person."
Seeing how easily she spoke, Chu Yan couldn't help but smile: "You're right, let's go home!" He then took her hand and led her downstairs.
Downstairs, everyone had already gotten into the car. Xiao Sheng saw Chu Yan come down holding the other person's hand. He didn't know what he said to the girl, but she smiled and even playfully hit Chu Yan. Their coquettish conversation showed trust and intimacy.
Xiao Sheng turned to look ahead and calmly said, "Let's drive."
There is ample time.
