Chapter 178 You are also a useless thing
Gu Shangyou and his wife knew their daughter's thoughts and were afraid that it would be too awkward in a while. Mrs. Gu took the opportunity to quickly greet the girls: "Aren't you going to sleep at Shen Ci's house? It's getting late, go quickly, you have to get up early to go back to school tomorrow."
Seeing this, Shen Ci also stood up: “Then let’s go back, goodbye uncle and aunt.”
Pili didn't know what was going on, so he just nodded.
Before leaving the house, Mrs. Gu put an extra layer of clothing on her daughter. Seeing the redness at the corners of her eyes, she knew she must be feeling bad, so she gently touched her daughter's face and said, "Put on more clothes. The weather is getting colder, so you have to keep warm."
Gu Lianxing did not cry. She had already shed all the tears she needed to shed on the rooftop that night. She would not shed another tear for Brother Jiang Cheng.
In the room, Gu Shangyou invited Jiang Cheng to sit on the sofa to drink tea and chat, and the topic inevitably revolved around Jiang Yuanliang.
"Going to Snow City?"
"Yes, the Snow City government has a natural gas project that they want to cooperate with the Jiang Group. Second Uncle has always attached great importance to official projects, so he went there in person. He's been gone for a week and I don't know when he'll be back."
Gu Shangyou nodded in understanding. Jiang's Group had a large business scope and a wide range of interests. Especially after Jiang Yuanliang took over, the group's development reached another level. Now even official projects from other provinces would actively seek cooperation with Jiang.
"How is your father's health recently?" Gu Shangyou changed the subject and asked about Jiang Cheng's father.
Jiang Cheng smiled and replied, "He's been doing fine lately. Maybe he's happy that I'm engaged, so he's in a much better state than before."
Jiang Cheng's father is the eldest son of the Jiang family. Unfortunately, his health has always been poor and he cannot interfere in the affairs of the group, so the position of chairman was handed over to the second son Jiang Yuanliang without any suspense.
Jiang Yuanliang is now almost 40 years old, but he has never been married and has no children. His mind is entirely on the group and business, and he has no time and does not want to think about these things.
He treats Jiang Cheng as his own son, and this villa with "thousand lights" is the engagement gift that Jiang Yuanliang gave to Jiang Cheng.
From Gu Shangyou's perspective, the next successor of the Jiang family will undoubtedly be Jiang Cheng.
"Now that his health has improved, you can feel a little relieved. You are young now, and you should focus more on the group and learn skills from your second uncle. I remember that when he was your age, he had already started leading a team to expand the business. Your second uncle is training you as his successor, and we can all see that." Gu Shangyou said earnestly.
But Gu Shangyou could say that, but Jiang Cheng didn't dare to admit it.
He smiled and said, "Second Uncle is still young. I haven't thought about taking over his job. I'll be content if I can learn more from him."
"By the way, my grandfather has been helping my second uncle arrange a marriage recently. He said there are a few suitable ones, and he's waiting for my second uncle to come back and take a look."
This made Gu Shangyou laugh, but then he thought about Chairman Jiang's temper and thought that the old man probably had no choice.
"Your second uncle is past the age of romance, so a blind date might not be a bad idea. Maybe it will work out. He should hurry up. It's not too late to have a child before the age of forty."
"My grandfather thinks so too." Jiang Cheng nodded.
On the other side, Chen Ci and the others returned to the villa, and there was no sign of abnormality at all for Gu Lianxing.
But Shen Ci was still a little worried, but didn't want to bring it up again.
Finally, Gu Lianxing took the initiative to speak: "Ah, I still feel sad when I saw him, but the cold wind on the road just now sobered me up."
She looked at Shen Ci and smiled helplessly: "He is already engaged, what should I worry about?"
Shen Ci patted her shoulder: "I hope you can think it through."
Pili only realized it then. No wonder she felt the atmosphere was weird. It turned out that Lianxing had a story with the man just now.
"It's hard to find a three-legged frog, but there are plenty of two-legged men, aren't there?" Pili also started to persuade.
But when these words came out of her mouth, it felt a bit awkward.
After a slight shock, Gu Lianxing came back to her senses and smiled, "Sure, Pili, you're a scumbag at heart, but you're right, I'll raise the fish and you'll build the pond, and we'll be sea kings together! Aren't there plenty of men out there?"
As he spoke, he did not forget to remind Chen Ci: "Baby, your Tang Song is almost expired. It's been more than a month, right? It's time to change it!"
Shen Ci rolled her eyes: “Isn’t it time for you to scold your cousin?”
"How can that be the same?" Gu Lianxing said righteously, "If a man is a scumbag, he deserves to die. If a woman is a scumbag, it's definitely the man's fault."
Shen Ci smiled without saying anything, turned around and was about to go upstairs, but was grabbed by Gu Lianxing.
"What?" Shen Ci looked at her sideways in confusion: "It's ten o'clock, time to wash up and go to bed."
Gu Lianxing looked at her with a scrutinizing expression: "You've been very busy lately, and we haven't had a good chat in a long time. Let me ask you, have you ever said "hmm" to Tang Song?"
Pili looked at Gu Lianxing with an uneasy expression: "Can you change the words? It's too ugly!"
She subconsciously brought Shen Ci into it.
"Clap for love, clap for love, that's all!" Gu Lianxing immediately changed her words.
Chen Ci asked with a puzzled look on his face: "You have a rich vocabulary in this area, you can speak so easily? I thought you were an innocent little white flower!"
"Don't interrupt." Gu Lianxing forcibly pulled Chen Ci to sit on the sofa: "Talk about it, you are the only one in love among the three of us, you must explain it."
Pili sat aside silently, also looking at Chen Ci eagerly with an expression of "what are you talking about".
Shen Ci was speechless.
But she felt an inexplicable joy in her heart. She had longed for such a friendship where they could talk about anything countless times, and at this moment, it suddenly became concrete.
That was something she had never had in her previous life.
“Not yet,” Shen Ci whispered.
"Ah?" Gu Lianxing exclaimed, "No way, big brother, is he any good? How can he resist such a beautiful girlfriend?"
Meanwhile, Pili on the side slowly raised his hand and said calmly, "I win!"
Gu Lianxing looked speechless and choked, looking at Chen Ci with disappointment and sighed: "You are also a useless thing!"
Chen Ci was shocked and stood up quickly: "You two are making a bet on something like this?"
Gu Lianxing took out her phone and transferred 20 cents to Pili, then looked at Chen Ci and shrugged, "It's because you haven't been in the dormitory lately. We were bored and just made a bet for fun."
Pili received the transfer and said calmly, "I'm simply doing this to make money."
Chen Ci: ...
What a good friend.
"But what's going on between you two? It's been over a month, and he hasn't mentioned it? Didn't you say you wanted his body?" Gu Lianxing came up again and kept asking.
Chen Ci: ...
