Sunday, May 14, 2023, Mother’s Day.

A garden house in Hong Kong.

Principal Gu turned down all work and stayed at home to accompany his parents.

In the entertainment industry, Principal Gu is not only a true philanthropist, he is also a well-known filial son. At the age of 53, he still lives with his parents.

When parents are alive, life still has a destination; when parents are gone, life only has a way back.

Principal Gu has a deep understanding of this sentence. No matter how busy he is at work, he will always take time to accompany his parents. He even missed the crew's wrap-up celebration party in order to go home and drink the pork rib soup cooked by his mother.

For him, the happiest thing every day is to hear his mother calling him to wake up in his sleep.

In fact, Gu's father had suffered a stroke more than 20 years ago. Although he was saved, his intelligence had greatly declined. His behavior was no different from that of a child, and he often did things that were difficult for outsiders to understand.

However, for Principal Gu, his parents have never been a burden to him, nor are they something he can abandon after paying alimony.

In Principal Gu’s opinion, the happiest thing for an adult is to still hear his parents’ nagging when half of his life has passed. This is a kind of happiness that cannot be obtained even if you ask for it.

At this time, the mother was cooking in the kitchen, while Principal Gu and his younger brother were talking to their father in the living room.

Gu Di is engaged in business, and with the help of his brother, he is now a wealthy man with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Both brothers are keen on charity and also want to accumulate blessings for their parents.

Gu's younger brother is 50 years old this year. Like his older brother, he is also a handsome man. Unfortunately, neither of them has started a family, which is a source of worry for their mother.

Of course, Gu's mother was relatively open-minded. She just let things take their own course and did not interfere too much with her two sons. She also did not urge them to get married like other parents.

At half past eleven, the Gu family started dinner on time.

"Happy holidays, Mom!" Principal Gu and his younger brother raised their glasses and sent their holiday greetings to their mother.

"Thank you, son!" Gu's mother smiled so much that her eyes narrowed. These two sons can be said to be the pride of her life.

Father Gu also raised his glass and shouted cheers.

A family of four clinks glasses.

After taking a big sip of champagne, Principal Gu smiled and said, "Mom, today is your holiday. I want to tell you some good news to make you happy."

Gu Mu asked casually, "What's the good news?"

Principal Gu chuckled and said, "Mom, the day after tomorrow, I'm going to the capital for a blind date!"

"What did you say?" When these words came out, Gu Mu was stunned!

Gudi was so shocked that his eyes widened. His elder brother was going on a blind date. This was a joke!

Principal Gu naturally understood his mother's feelings, so he repeated, "Mom, I mean, I'm going to the capital for a blind date the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, okay, this is great, son, you finally figured it out. This is the best Mother's Day gift I have received in all these years."

This time, Gu's mother was completely convinced that she had heard correctly. She was so excited that she couldn't even hold her chopsticks steadily. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her husband, whose IQ was like that of a child, and said, "Old man, did you hear that? Our eldest son is going on a blind date and he's going to get married. You and I will be able to hold our grandchildren soon!"

Seeing his mother so excited, Principal Gu felt filled with guilt. It seemed that although his mother didn't say it, she actually cared a lot about his marriage.

His parents were getting old now, and even if it was just to make them happier for a few more years, he had to take this blind date in the capital seriously. If it was suitable, he would get married and have children as soon as possible.

Gu Di, who was standing next to him, was also feeling mixed emotions. On the one hand, he was shocked by the news that his elder brother was going on a blind date, and on the other hand, he felt guilty about his mother's reaction.

After all, he is 50 years old this year and single like his eldest brother. Now that his eldest brother has started to go on blind dates, he also has to pay attention to this aspect.

After a few minutes of calming down, Gu's mother began to ask her eldest son about his blind date.

Principal Gu had no intention of hiding anything and said directly, "The person I went on a blind date with is also an actor, only one year younger than me. His name is Yu Jinghong. Mom, you should know him."

Her husband was an actor before, and her eldest son is an actor of movie star level, so Gu's mother's understanding of the entertainment industry is really unmatched by ordinary women.

Not to mention knowing all the actors in the entertainment industry, but Gu's mother knows almost all the actors who are somewhat famous. As for Yu Jinghong, who is about the same age as Principal Gu and even debuted earlier than Principal Gu, Gu's mother naturally knows him.

So when she heard Principal Gu say this, her mother's eyes lit up immediately and she asked quickly, "Son, are you talking about the actress who played the role of Fairy Jinghong in The Flying Dagger of Li?"

Principal Gu responded, "Yes, that's her. What do you think, Mom?"

Gu Mu nodded repeatedly and said, "When the TV series "The Little Li Flying Dagger" came out, it was full of handsome men and beautiful women. I remember that the Fairy Jinghong was really pretty.

Three years ago, an old sister and I counted the female celebrities in the entertainment industry who kept themselves clean. This fairy with zero scandals was among them. She must be a very good person.

As long as the two of you have compatible personalities, I fully support this marriage."

When Principal Gu heard the mother say this, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "Whether it is suitable or not, we will talk about it when we meet the day after tomorrow."

…

This is not an isolated case.

When Principal Gu was spending the holiday with his mother and revealed the matter of his blind date, Yu Jinghong was also spending the holiday with his mother.

Originally, Yu Jinghong had no intention of revealing the fact of her blind date with Principal Gu so early, but when she was wishing her a happy Mother's Day, her mother urged her to get married, which was unusual.

Mother Yu sighed and said, "Daughter, for so many years, your parents have let you do whatever you want, and your father and I usually don't interfere with you.

Even though you haven't gotten married for all these years, although your father and I are anxious, we rarely urge you to get married quickly, because we are afraid that you will put your trust in the wrong person in a hurry.

But now we are getting older and older, and our health is getting worse day by day. When people get old, they tend to worry too much. If we are gone one day, you will be alone. How can we two old guys feel at ease?"

Yu Jinghong was shocked when he heard this, and quickly grabbed his parents' hands and asked with concern: "Dad, Mom, are you feeling unwell? Have you gone for a check-up?"

Father Yu patted his daughter's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, daughter. Your mother and I are fine. They are just some minor ailments of the elderly. They are nothing serious."

Mother Yu reached out and held her daughter's hand, saying, "You don't have to be nervous. I just want to tell you that your father and I are old and don't know how many years we can live. We want to see you find your home before we die, so that we can feel at ease."

Yu Jinghong stared at his parents' eyes nervously and asked seriously, "Is it really nothing?"

Father and Mother Yu shook their heads together and said, "It's really okay."

Yu Jinghong finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "I was really scared to death!"

Mother Yu had no intention of letting her daughter get away with it, so she brought up the topic of marriage again and said, "Daughter, you need to pay attention to what I told you. Don't take it lightly like before. You are over 50 years old, not young anymore."

Seeing his mother's expectant eyes, Yu Jinghong no longer concealed it and said directly: "Dad, Mom, I originally wanted to confirm this matter before telling you, but since you have said so much, I might as well tell you!

In fact, I have already taken action. The day after tomorrow, I will go on a blind date. You all know the other party. He is the famous philanthropist in Hong Kong, the actor who is respected as Principal Gu. "

Upon hearing this, Yu's father and mother looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

After the shock, there was ecstasy.

Mother Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Daughter, what you said is true, you are not teasing me?"

Yu Jinghong laughed and said, "Of course it's true. This is a lifelong event, how can it be a joke!"

Mother Yu laughed and asked, "Tell me quickly, why did you suddenly want to go on a blind date with Principal Gu? What's going on?"

"Here's what happened..."

Next, Yu Jinghong told her parents everything about how Master Jiang came to see her, leaving her father and mother stunned.

After a while, Father Yu said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there is such a powerful matchmaker as Master Jiang in this world. It's really eye-opening!"

Mother Yu said in surprise and delight: "So, my daughter, you and Principal Gu really have a chance this time!"

Yu Jinghong also showed a hint of expectation in his eyes and said, "I hope so. Anyway, I will take the blind date the day after tomorrow seriously."

…

Guangdong Province.

Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Pei Ying flew back from Hangzhou to spend the holiday with her mother.

Pei Ying is not an only child, she has a younger brother, but her younger brother got married seven or eight years ago, and her niece is already in elementary school.

The Pei family's financial situation was not bad to begin with. Pei's father and mother were both capable people. They moved to Eagle Country in their early years due to work needs. They only came back when Pei Ying returned to China to work hard.

With the support of his parents and sister, Pei Ying's younger brother easily became a billionaire. Although his wealth is far less than that of his sister, with a net worth of several hundred million, he can live a very comfortable life.

As the person with the strongest earning ability in the family, Pei Ying's family status is naturally needless to say. She can enjoy the highest treatment every time she comes back, and this time is no exception.

Knowing that she was coming back, Pei's mother cooked for her herself and prepared a large table of her favorite meals.

During the meal, Pei Ying wanted to tell her parents several times about the blind date tomorrow, but in the end she held back and decided that it would not be too late to tell them after the blind date had a result.

So as to avoid wasting time and space.

…

The next day.

Pei Ying boarded the plane to the imperial capital.

Thinking about her first blind date in her life, Pei Ying felt a rare hint of nervousness, just like when she made her first major investment decision.

Just as Pei Ying was thinking silently, a voice came from the left: "Hello, young lady, are you traveling to the imperial capital?"

Pei Ying looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the person who approached her was a very handsome young man, who seemed to be about the same age as Master Jiang and was as handsome as him.

Seeing Pei Ying looking at him, the handsome boy gave a charming smile.

Pei Ying replied succinctly: "No."

The handsome boy continued to ask: "So, little sister, are you on a business trip?"

Pei Ying did not answer him this time, but asked: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

The handsome boy smiled again, a smile that he had rehearsed countless times in secret, and said, "Nothing, it's just a long journey, and I just wanted to find someone to chat with to kill time."

Pei Ying shook her head and said, "Sorry, I need to rest."

The handsome boy froze when he heard this, and then said very gracefully: "Sorry to bother you!"

Pei Ying didn't reply, but leaned there with her eyes closed.

The handsome boy sighed silently upon seeing this, knowing that this trip would most likely be a loss. He really didn't know when he would have the chance to hook up with one of those rich ladies and get out of poverty and become rich.

Yes, although this handsome boy was sitting in the first class, he was not a rich man, but just an ordinary worker. He worked hard every month, and then saved money by living frugally, and he used it to create "adventures" on the plane.

He learned this method from a female predecessor. The financial situation of that female predecessor was not very good at that time, but when she graduated and was ready to fly back to Hong Kong to find a job, she gritted her teeth and bought a first-class ticket. As a result, she met her noble man, and finally achieved class transition and married into a wealthy family.

The handsome boy thinks that he is good-looking and wants to try the method of his female predecessor to see if he can meet a rich woman by chance and then successfully hook up with her, then he won’t have to worry about his life.

Unfortunately, he had flown in first class several times but had never met a single young lady. This time, he finally met a good-looking young lady, but her attitude was very discouraging.

It seems that the miracle of that female senior is really hard to replicate.

Perhaps, this approach is only suitable for beautiful women.

After all, women have advantages in this regard. Few single men will refuse a beautiful woman's approach. But it is different when a man approaches a single woman.

Pei Ying naturally didn't know what the handsome boy was thinking. She just didn't like chatting with such a stranger she met by chance. It didn't make much sense. She might as well use the time to read more literary works to improve herself!

It takes a little over three hours to fly from Shenzhen to the capital.

At 3:40 in the afternoon, the plane landed at an airport in the capital on time.

During this period, the handsome boy never gave up and wanted to strike up a conversation with Pei Ying, but unfortunately Pei Ying didn't give him a chance at all and basically sent him off with just one or two words.

It was not until he got off the plane that the handsome boy sighed.

He decided that when he flew back, he would take the first class cabin for the last time. If he still couldn't get the rich woman he wanted, he would find other ways and couldn't keep wasting money like this.
