Chapter 10 Mr. Gu is very protective of his shortcomings
Su Jiuyao didn't understand why her mother didn't want to see her appearance restored.
Am I not her daughter?
Su Jiuyao felt a chill in her heart, even though she had long experienced her mother's cruelty.
As for her eldest and second sisters, they were just as she expected.
While praising her beauty, they asked her why she hadn't taken off her veil over the years.
Second sister Su Fanxing was speaking from the heart. She was a noble and straightforward person, and was used to speaking and doing things directly.
The eldest sister Su Canyue was a bit sarcastic, and her words were implicitly mocking her for being pretentious.
Su Jiuyao felt very uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, so she briefly explained her situation:
"My face has long since healed, and I'm just wearing the veil out of habit. That's all."
I don’t want to say anything more, and I don’t want everyone to stare at my face anymore.
Gu Hanye clearly felt her fingers tightening significantly, as if she was about to make a fist.
After she was disfigured in the fire, she was abandoned in the mountains by her family. Now she comes to her family with a beautiful face, but her family reacts like this.
How could she be happy when even he, an outsider, felt uncomfortable?
Gu Hanye glanced at the restaurant. The servants had already set the table. Su Jiuyao was feeling awkward at the moment, so he cleared his throat and said,
"Yaoyao said she was hungry on the way here. How about we eat first and then talk slowly?"
Su Jiuyao glanced at him and said, "When did I ever say I was hungry?"
Hey, you little ungrateful bastard!
I'm helping you out, but you don't even appreciate it.
Su Shengnian came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Han Ye, look at me, I was so happy to see you that I neglected you."
Su Jiuyao knew that her father was a bit snobbish. He was trying to curry favor with Gu Hanye, and maybe he wanted to ask for something in the future.
Sure enough, when the meal was almost over, Father Su put down his chopsticks and solemnly expressed his expectation to Gu Hanye: he hoped that Gu Group would inject another 200 million yuan into Su's new project for expansion funds.
Before Gu Hanye could speak, Su Jiuyao said calmly, "Dad, are you treating the Gu family like an ATM?"
Feng Meiling glared at him, "How can you talk like that, kid?"
Su Jiuyao wasn't in a hurry. She wiped her mouth with her napkin and put it aside, saying, "Gu's just allocated 200 million in start-up capital, and I haven't seen you make good use of it yet. Now you want more. Aren't you treating the Gu Group like an ATM?"
Su Shengnian's face had turned gloomy. He didn't expect that the third girl, who had always been weak and gentle, would be so sharp-tongued.
Perhaps it was because he had neglected family affection over the years that the child became hostile towards him.
Su Shengnian did not respond to Su Jiuyao's words, but smiled and said to Gu Hanye:
"Han Ye, Jiuyao doesn't understand business matters, so just treat it as a girl's joke. You also know that if this project succeeds, the Su family will definitely be able to return more than double to the Gu family, or even..."
"That's true," Gu Hanye said with a faint smile, "But I'll listen to Jiuyao."
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
Su Jiuyao couldn't help but look at the man beside her.
She had expected Gu Hanye to reject Su Shengnian's request. After all, he could see that his father was not satisfied with taking advantage of him. How could Gu Hanye not see through it?
But his words saved her face.
He seemed to want to tell everyone that they might have been able to bully her in the past, but from now on, with him around, no one could bully her anymore.
Thinking of this, Su Jiuyao felt a warmth in her heart.
Su Shengnian's face turned red and white, but after all, he was a man who had seen a lot in the business world. This awkward situation only lasted for two seconds. Su Shengnian laughed and said:
"Seeing you two have such a good relationship, we as parents are also happy. Okay, let's have a good meal and not talk about business anymore."
So the topic of capital injection ends here.
Gu Hanye smiled slightly and picked up a piece of crispy meat for Su Jiuyao.
"Eat more. You've become as skinny as a bean sprout. I don't know what you've been eating these past few years."
After hearing this, Su Shengnian and Feng Meiling had very interesting expressions on their faces, because Gu Hanye was mocking them for not taking good care of their little daughter in the past.
Seeing how Gu Hanye was protecting his people, Su Shengnian knew he was in the wrong and dared not mention business matters anymore. He quickly agreed and asked Jiuyao to eat more.
When Su Jiuyao's elder sister saw how considerate Gu Hanye was to Su Jiuyao, and then looked at her cowardly husband who couldn't even do anything, she felt jealous, but she didn't dare to make things difficult for Su Jiuyao anymore.
All in all, the meal was quite bumpy.
Su Moyu, on the other hand, was so heartless that he secretly took a picture of Su Jiuyao's profile and happily posted it on his Moments with the caption: "My third sister is so pretty!"
At the same time, he also asked Gu Tianqi to read this circle of friends.
