Chapter 143
Gu Tianci watched the Maybach drift in an extremely handsome manner and stop at the entrance of the venue. He was stunned for a moment, and then his expression was filled with envy.
"I don't know which family these dandies are from. I wouldn't dare to play like this in front of this venue, but they actually did it."
Gu Tianci felt aggrieved when he thought about it, but when he saw the two people getting out of the Maybach, his eyes widened involuntarily.
"The Lu family?"
Gu Tianci found it a little unbelievable. You know, Lu Jiu from the Lu family was a control group of him since childhood.
Lu Jiu had excellent academic performance and had never caused his parents any worries since he was a child. Sometimes, even at gatherings, he could hear his parents' words that seemed to be worried but were actually boasting.
For example, Lu Jiu was sent abroad on a government scholarship, but the family was reluctant to let him go so far. Another example was that after Lu Jiu returned to China, the Lu family handed him a hospital, but complained that Lu Jiu had no time to manage it and had to rely on their tutor's schedule. Fortunately, this guy managed the hospital well.
One thing after another made Lu Jiu the public enemy of most ordinary children in the entire circle, especially those playboys, who hated Lu Jiu with a vengeance.
Fortunately, things have been better in recent years. These playboys have been pushed out by their families to arrange marriages or get married. After they have families, they can look at Lu Jiu to comfort themselves. Although they don’t have the same achievements as others, Lu Jiu and the widowed king at least still have a partner and children.
Although this kind of comfort is very Ah Q, it is indeed useful. At least the hostility of the married playboys towards Lu Jiu is not as strong.
——But this does not include Gu Tianci.
Although he is married, it is almost the same as not being married.
He had never seen the old man from beginning to end, and even in his impression he was still single. So when some people mentioned that he was married, he would be stunned for a moment, and then frown and say with disgust, "Don't mention such a depressing thing."
I didn't even think about it when I was communicating with Shen Ning through the diary.
Gu Tianci hadn't expected this, and Lu Jiu was fine with it. He'd long ago recognized that this guy was definitely a bit of a sultry person. After all, how could someone look so calm and relaxed while actually achieving so much more than that? People like that were usually very tired, but Lu Jiu had to pretend to be relaxed.
Gu Tianci really couldn't understand why Lu Yi was like this. He didn't pay much attention to Lu Yi himself. His admission was a foregone conclusion anyway, and since the poor student was a little afraid of the top student, he basically didn't communicate with him much.
I didn't expect that Lu Yi is the same as his brother in private. They both look quite reserved. He remained calm and collected even when such a big drift came towards him.
But how did they convince the drivers to cooperate with them?
Thinking of this, Gu Tianci saw the driver and the butler coming out from the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat.
The two looked normal, but their faces were a little pale. However, Gu Tianci just thought that the lights outside the venue were too bright.
Then Gu Tianci saw the driver and the housekeeper standing there trying to get tissues, but it seemed as if their limbs were out of control, and the tissues accidentally slipped out of their pockets as soon as they took them out.
The two of them were so busy that they almost picked up all the tissues before they could steadily catch the small package of tissues.
Gu Tianci: ...
No, my hands are shaking like this, I’d better not drift next time.
"What are you thinking about? Come in quickly and say hello to your Uncle Lu."
The familiar voice of his own father sounded, and Gu Tianci turned around and put the abnormality of the driver and the housekeeper behind his mind.
Gu Tianci was very confident about his look today. His hair was parted in a 3:7 ratio, with slightly curled ends on his high head. Coupled with the gold-rimmed glasses he wore specially today, he looked like a cultured and handsome man.
Although he couldn't compare to Lu Jiu in terms of academics, and was even almost inferior to Lu Yi, at least he couldn't lose in terms of looks.
...However, when he arrived in front of Uncle Lu, he lowered his head, which had been raised.
Not to mention that Uncle Lu, a typical successful man, instantly reduced his father's beer belly. Uncle Lu's two sons standing beside him had more aura than the other.
Lu Yi's advantage lies in the youthful vitality of a young man. His face has a very high degree of folds, and his superior high brow bones and straight nose bridge can be seen from the side.
And Lu Jiu...
Gu Tianci's mouth twitched. If he knew that Lu Jiu was dressed almost the same as him today, he would never run up to him and humiliate himself.
Wearing the same black shirt, black tie and gold-rimmed glasses, Lu Jiu looked like a modest gentleman like Liang Shanbo - and he looked like Ma Wencai who abducted Zhu Yingtai.
He looked at the four members of the Lu family in front of him, and then looked at his own family of three - even his own mother looked more mean than Aunt Lu.
He immediately became obedient, even saying hello in a somewhat cowardly manner and hiding behind his parents without moving.
Father Gu glared at Gu Tianci with a look of disappointment, and then he forced an explanation:
"...Oh, this kid is used to staying in that area at school. He's not very good at socializing. Alas, there's nothing we can do as parents."
Father Gu said this with a helpless look on his face.
"Hey, kids, don't we give all the money we earn to them? Look at this kid of ours, isn't he devoted to the medical field? He's been busy with his project every day lately and hasn't even come home. Even Lu Yi is the same. He's already in his third year of high school, but he hasn't told us what school he wants to apply to. We can't control it anymore, so we can only let him do whatever he wants."
Mr. Lu said this with some comfort, but in fact, he never stopped showing off.
Father Gu seemed not to understand the hidden meaning and continued to praise Lu Jiu and Lu Yi who were standing opposite him with a smile on his face.
"Doesn't this just prove that your two sons are truly exceptional? Unlike my boy, who had poor academic performance and only got into a key high school through my connections. I don't expect him to inherit the family business. He should just stay in school and give me and his mother a big, fat grandson."
While praising him, Father Gu looked at Gu Tianci behind him with some anger again.
Gu Tianci, however, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses he had deliberately put on today and said with a cultured look:
"Everything depends on fate. I don't want someone who isn't soul mates with me. Besides, I'm not divorced. I can't delay an omega, right?"
Looking at Gu Tianci's unfazed look, Father Gu wanted to hit him on the spot, but was stopped by Mother Gu. She turned around and indicated that the Lu family was still there, and Father Gu withdrew his hand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. This kid hasn't gotten over his rebellious teenage years for over a decade, and we as parents are really at our wit's end."
Mr. Lu's expression remained calm. He greeted Mr. Gu and said it was okay. The two of them then started chatting about recent events in the medical industry.
Gu Tianci was still in the same state, and his mother was so angry that she pinched him and whispered to him:
"That's why I told you to quickly explain to that guy surnamed Ye that they shouldn't occupy the position of daughter-in-law of our Gu family. The treatment we gave him before was because he could help us manage our family assets. Now that he's blind, he should take the initiative to show some sense and give up his position. This can be considered as repaying the kindness we gave him in cultivating him."
Mother Gu said with a frown, and the already existing frown deepened.
"And what happened? You refused to go, saying you didn't want to see him. Please, I asked you to go so you could get our money back, not so you could actually date him! As an alpha like you, can't you be a little more responsible?"
Mother Gu gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Tianci, who still turned his face away and refused to give a definite answer.
"I asked you to marry him but you refused to go. I asked you to divorce him to protect our family's money but you refused to go either, Gu Tianci! Do you just want this guy to make a fortune for free by marrying you?"
But unfortunately, even though he said it so harshly, Gu Tianci still didn't react at all. Gu's mother had no choice. After all, he was her only son after giving birth to several omegas. She had no way to deal with Gu Tianci.
Gu Tianci felt a little annoyed by the ringing in his ears. He had long known what his mother was thinking. She was just afraid that the old man would take away their family's money.
But Gu Tianci felt that since the other person was marrying him, it was a second marriage instead of a first one, so he should just share some of the money. They had signed a prenuptial agreement before, so the money he deserved was what he deserved.
Gu Tianci would definitely not be willing to ask for the money back himself. It would be so embarrassing!
He asked for the money back after giving it away voluntarily. Isn't that a slap in the face? His parents can do it, but he can't.
but……
"Perhaps it's time to go find that old man and warn him not to use the title of Mrs. Gu in the future, even if she's the ex-wife. The title of Mrs. Gu is still quite valuable, and besides..."
Gu Tianci thought with a sigh.
'I don't want anyone to know that I was married before.'
Just as Gu Tianci was thinking about it, he saw Lu Yi looking at this side with curiosity, and then asked openly:
"Teacher Gu, are you married? We didn't know."
When Gu Tianci thought about the possibility that this guy might reveal this matter at school, he immediately coughed and said seriously:
"My parents forced me into a family marriage, and there was no real affection. I haven't even met the couple in person, just their photos. They're already going through the divorce process. Just treat me as single at school."
Gu Tianci said this in a seemingly serious tone.
Mother Gu looked at Lu Yi opposite her with anticipation, hoping that he would say a few more words, preferably to encourage her son to take the money back.
"Ah, so there's no emotion." Lu Yi said with an expression of sudden enlightenment. Finally, facing Mother Gu's expectant gaze, he said bluntly:
"But Mr. Gu, if you have no feelings for your partner, why do you want to divide their property? Is there something wrong with the Gu Group's funding chain?"
The young man stood there, smiling brightly and innocently, and said:
"If something goes wrong, will Gu's company provide financial support for the next project?"
Gu's mother, who discovered that the young man had heard everything she had just said, and Gu Tianci, who knew how much his own father valued this project, said: ...
They looked up at the same time in the direction of Gu's father.
Gu's father, who heard this as soon as he came over, said: ...
——Hunting time!
Father Gu's expression immediately turned sour. After glaring at Gu Tianci and Mother Gu, he looked at Lu Yi opposite him with residual anger.
At this time, Lu Jiu stood up and stood in front of his younger brother, saying apologetically:
"Sorry, Mr. Gu, the child doesn't understand nonsense."
Although he said so, he did not make Lu Yi apologize. Instead, he still stood in front of Lu Yi, then lowered his voice and whispered:
"Third year of high school is stressful, and his personality has been a bit strange lately. I can't control him, and I'm afraid it will affect his studies. I apologize for this one year."
As Lu Jiu spoke, he apologized to Director Gu for the second time.
But Director Gu felt that he was speechless.
He said that Gu Tianci was young and had never gotten over his rebellious youth, so he had no way to take care of Gu Tianci. Lu Yi, who was 10 years younger than Gu Tianci, was in his real rebellious youth.
He even had the perfect buff of being a senior in high school and an excellent student. This made him a very powerful figure in their circle of middle-aged and elderly people.
It’s no big deal for a high school senior who is good at studying to feel a little pressured and be a little careless when speaking - they can even express themselves better than Gu Tianci.
The sincere and apologetic look made it difficult for them to speak.
In the end, Director Gu still didn't say what he wanted to scold, and could only let the matter go.
Lu Yi was scolded by his elder brother in a pretentious manner, but then he acted as if nothing had happened and started socializing with his peers.
——But that flawless look was completely different from before.
Gu Tianci was even a little surprised. Why did Lu Yi look like he was deliberately targeting him?
However, he didn't think about this question for long. He turned around and was attracted by the gathering of his friends. He quickly walked over there.
Then he started asking his friends for advice on how to write love letters.
"Oh? Master Gu is playing the role of a love saint this time. Last time he asked us to write love poems for you, and now he's turning around and writing love letters?"
One of the friends said.
Gu Tianci waved his hand to dispel the other party's ridicule and said seriously:
"If you can write, then write. If you can't, then get out."
Alpha can't say no.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the alphas sitting on the sofa straightened up and looked at the draft handed over by Gu Tianci, ready to amaze everyone.
Three minutes later.
"No, I can't think of one! Where did you find this literary omega? I've never heard of the allusions and metaphors they used, and yet I found them all when I searched for them!"
The dandy boy who had just spoken said this with a look of disbelief on his face.
The other people present also had such incredible expressions. God knows they are just a bunch of good-for-nothings who only know how to eat, drink, play and spend their parents' money. Asking them to challenge this kind of literary writing that is as difficult as the college entrance examination, isn't this asking them to die?
They didn’t have so many allusions in their minds when they took the college entrance examination that year.
"I just came here to discuss this with you guys. Strength lies in numbers..."
Gu Tianci seemed to be speaking with confidence, but in fact he felt a little guilty.
And just as these playboys who had returned all their Chinese knowledge to the teacher were discussing how to write the love letter.
Gu Tianci always felt that there was a burning gaze staring at him. When he turned around, he found that it was Pan Yuan, who had poured wine on him in the bar last time, standing there. He looked at him without dodging or avoiding, but just nodded slightly at him.
But what's with the relief on his face? Why does he look like an elder looking at a younger person?
Just when Gu Tianci looked confused, Pan Yuan nodded to Gu Tianci and then lowered his head and spoke to Ye Wangxing on the other side of the phone.
On the mobile phone call page, the three words "Ye Wangxing" are particularly eye-catching.
"——Gu Tianci was alright this time. He didn't mess around with other girls. He didn't even go near the omegas at the party. He just sat on the sofa writing a love letter. He just didn't look very bright. A bunch of alphas were struggling over the letter for over ten minutes, but they couldn't utter a single word."
As he spoke, Pan Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"And his acting has improved. Even though he's practically kissing you in private, he still acts like he wants to divorce you in front of his parents. He also plays his father's chauvinism perfectly, acting like he'd be ashamed to face anyone if he took your money."
Pan Yuan didn't care that Ye Wangxing on the other side didn't reply to him, and said excitedly:
"I've finally discovered that having a silly thing like this at home is actually quite fun. It's straightforward and easy to see through. Playing with it is just like playing with a dog. It's really fun, just like having a husky."
Ye Wangxing on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time before a helpless voice came out:
"You're really hungry, you can eat anything... And don't humiliate the Husky. It's a working dog in the snow."
Pan Yuan chuckled twice in embarrassment before saying:
"I think he seems to be turning over a new leaf. Besides, you'll be living with him for a while, so say something nice about him."
Ye Wangxing's calm voice came: "He lived with me for a while, not me and him, and he is not that bad."
"It seems like you've fallen for it. Do you want to consider not getting a divorce?"
Pan Yuan asked Ye Wangxing on the other end of the phone, and Ye Wangxing's voice remained calm:
"We still have to get a divorce. With that prenuptial agreement, I'm the one who suffers. Besides, if we don't get a divorce, his parents won't be able to get through. This is his problem, and it's something he needs to resolve. I can't bear his responsibility."
"...As expected, a rational person like you is suitable for marriage."
Pan Yuan was silent for a while and then said with a sigh.
"I'm sure I've already started imagining the future."
Ye Wangxing's voice came again:
"It's too early to talk about the future now. For now, let's settle the divorce and property disputes first, and then talk about future problems."
Pan Yuan thought about it and ended the topic. He turned to talk to Ye Wangxing about what he saw and heard at the banquet today, as well as some gossip at the banquet.
"...Speaking of which, I just realized that there are so many young talents in our capital, especially the two brothers of the Lu family. One is 28 years old like Gu Tianci, and the other is only 18 years old."
Pan Yuan said gossipingly.
"The young master of the Lu family looks sunny and cheerful. He's a top student in his third year of high school. He looks like he was modeled."
"The eldest young master is a winner in life. He's a medical doctoral student and, at 28, he's already involved in an artificial cornea project, even being a second-in-command. He's also handsome and gentlemanly, with a face modeled after his younger brother."
Speaking of this, Pan Yuan said to Ye Wangxing with a tut-tut sound:
"Look at him, then look at Gu Tianci. He's also 28 years old and was instantly knocked to the ground. If it weren't for his family background, he probably wouldn't even be worthy of carrying your shoes."
Ye Wangxing said calmly, "But family background is also part of the strength of people like them. And with my current network of connections, Gu Tianci is actually the best choice. Even if we divorce, we won't lose much."
Hearing this, Pan Yuan sighed and said, "Alas, what a pity that your flower is stuck in this pile of cow dung, Gu Tianci—but then again, if you get divorced, how about I introduce you to those two from the Lu family?"
Although Pan Yuan's sudden thoughts were mostly joking, they became more and more true the more he spoke.
"You're also involved in the artificial cornea project, so we're related. When you're better in half a year, I'll introduce you to the eldest young master of the Lu family. If that doesn't work out, the younger one is also a good idea. He's an 18-year-old brother."
"Which of these two isn't better than that silly guy Gu Tianci?"
Pan Yuan spoke with bright eyes and full concentration, not noticing that the eldest and youngest sons of the Lu family, who were talking to someone not far away, both had their lips curled up.
But someone still noticed it.
For example, the butler who was just frightened.
He looked at the eldest and young masters, whose lips were about to fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
——Are you two happy that I’m stronger than Gu Tianci?
He was originally standing behind the pillar just to wait for orders, but who would have thought that there would be a melon in front of the pillar and it would be stuffed into his mouth!
The butler was already in a terrible state. It was already shocking enough that the eldest and youngest masters fell in love with the same person at the same time.
But who would have thought that there is always someone stronger than the strong - the eldest and the youngest masters were so bold as to pretend to be someone else's legal husband!
Even though Mr. Ye had never lived with him day and night, and had only seen Gu Tianci's photos, and his experiences with the young master were all the young master's own.
but……
This would still violate the law!
At that time, Mr. Butler almost called the police.
If they hadn't happened to be at the banquet, the eldest and young masters would have definitely noticed that his and Lao Zhang's behavior was abnormal.
Recalling the shock he felt when he just heard the news, the housekeeper wanted to scream - he only earns 50,000 yuan a month, why did he have to listen to such a big piece of news!
It would be wrong for him not to report this kind of thing after hearing it, and it would be even more wrong for him to report it. He could only pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that he didn't hear it. He planned to go back and replace the Maybach to avoid such a situation from happening again.
Of course, while worrying about this matter, the housekeeper was also paying attention to his eldest and youngest masters, fearing that they would be discovered by their parents.
Fortunately, Lu's parents didn't find out.
Except for the young master who was a little against Gu Tianci at the beginning, they were relatively honest for the rest of the time.
——God knows that when the housekeeper saw Lu Yi talking to Gu Tianci, he was afraid that he would tell Gu Tianci that your wife is fine, and now she is mine.
Fortunately, that didn’t happen. The young master seemed to have only slightly targeted Gu Tianci.
However, what the housekeeper is worried about now is not this, but the fact that the Gu family wants Gu Tianci and Ye Wangxing to meet.
If Gu Tianci suddenly became smart and agreed...
The housekeeper's heart suddenly began to beat fast, and he looked up at Gu Tianci.
——Then he saw Gu Tianci facing a crumpled piece of paper, proudly reading his masterpiece:
"Ah! You are like an autumn leaf, looking strong, but actually falling at the slightest breeze!"
housekeeper:……
Suddenly I felt relieved.
