Chapter 478 He is doing this for you
Because with Gu Ziheng's temper, it is impossible for him to apologize to Luo Yan in person.
As long as he doesn't apologize, the deadlock between him and his friends will remain.
Today Zhen Cen came to "accidentally" meet Luo Yan in order to apologize to his ignorant son.
Su Man felt that Zhen Cen must have gone through some inner struggle before making this decision.
After all, Zhen Cen could not bring himself to face the situation of having an elder from a wealthy family and a junior, especially Luo Yan, the illegitimate daughter of a fallen official.
Not to mention asking Zhen Cen to come and apologize in person.
So, Zhen Cen arranged this "chance encounter".
This makes the apology seem more like a natural thing to do: If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have apologized to you specifically, because you don't deserve it.
With an apology gesture.
But his attitude is not low.
Of course Luo Yan felt like she couldn't swallow it.
Su Man sipped the tea silently, and the cup was soon finished.
She put down the teacup and was about to reach out to pick up the teapot to refill the tea. Xiao Beisheng opposite her also reached out his hand.
Almost at the same time.
Su Man's hand touched the ear of the teapot first, and Xiao Beisheng was 0.1 second slower and touched Su Man's hand.
When their skin touched, Su Man felt like she was electrocuted and quickly pulled her hand back.
Xiao Beisheng was calmer than her, as if nothing had happened. He pinched the handle of the teapot with his slender fingers, picked up the teapot, and refilled Su Man's tea.
After refilling Su Man's tea, he also refilled the tea for the other two people present.
The posture is calm and the movements are smooth.
It was so smooth that it seemed as if he was simply displaying the courtesy that a gentleman should have.
A tea party, several confrontations.
Luo Yan accepted Gu's mother's apology, her face looking as ugly as if she had eaten a fly. Finally, she found an excuse and left with Xiao Beisheng.
Zhen Cen still smiled faintly: "Xiao Man, Auntie hopes you will still consider it and go and persuade Zi Heng."
"Okay, Auntie."
Su Man suddenly gave in, but Zhen Cen didn't.
She opened her eyes slightly wide in surprise and asked in disbelief:
"Then how about you go home directly with Aunt Cen tonight?"
"I'll listen to Aunt Cen."
Zhen Cen was very happy and grinned. He asked again, "Why did you agree so suddenly?"
"Auntie Cen has put a lot of thought into Ziheng. She came here for tea and apologized in person on behalf of Ziheng and me. If I refuse again, I'd be a bit ungrateful."
She didn't make it too obvious.
This can be understood as Zhen Cen inviting her to have tea.
It can also be understood that Su Man could see that Zhen Cen deliberately chose this teahouse and arranged this encounter just to apologize.
Su Man kept the other party dignified by not pointing out the matter.
Zhen Cen looked at Su Man with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "You are not only smart but also kind-hearted. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."
Su Man pursed her lips and smiled faintly.
If she doesn't agree, Zhen Cen might use other means behind her back.
Suman finds it troublesome.
Agreeing is the most labor-saving way.
An hour and a half later.
Gu family villa.
As soon as Zhen Cen entered the house, he warmly asked the housekeeper to make milk tea and prepare snacks for Su Man.
This was not Su Man's first visit to the Gu family.
In the past, Gu Ziheng often brought Su Man back.
The first few times, Zhen Cen looked down on Su Man because Su Man didn't have a good reputation in their circle.
Chen Qing cultivated his niece as a socialite and took Su Man to various business tycoons and financial giants. Such a girl was either a brainless vase or too shrewd.
In short, she is not the best candidate for a daughter-in-law for a family like theirs, the Gu family.
But Gu Ziheng was determined to be with Su Man.
Zhen Cen, as a mother, couldn't resist her beloved son.
Seeing that Gu Ziheng obeyed Su Man's words, Zhen Cen had no choice but to pretend to accept Su Man reluctantly.
Later, it was Su Man who persuaded Gu Ziheng to return home and take over the Gu family's property. In his career, she also helped Gu Ziheng to set things right, and with her business acumen and long-term vision, she helped Gu Ziheng slowly get his career on the right track.
Only then did Zhen Cen gradually change his opinion of Su Man.
She had to admit that if it weren't for Su Man, her son would have been ruined long ago.
Now Su Man is revisiting her hometown, feeling filled with emotion.
"Why are you rushing me? Didn't I say I'm not hungry now and will eat later? Urge me, urge me, even urging me to death is more annoying than me..." Gu Ziheng didn't know Su Man was coming. He dragged his feet and came to the stairwell in a daze.
When he saw Su Man sitting in the living room downstairs, Gu Ziheng's dull eyes suddenly became full of spirit.
He hurried downstairs, "Why are you here? You didn't even tell me you were here."
He blamed his mother, "Mom, why didn't you tell me when Suman came? You delayed me for so long."
Su Man raised her eyes and looked at him, and he immediately stopped acting like a mama's boy.
But Gu Ziheng's excitement didn't last long.
That low feeling of depression surfaced again.
At the dinner table, Gu Ziheng looked up at Su Man several times, and the more he looked, the more dejected he became.
Zhen Cen was confused by his silly son.
Why can’t Suman cure him even though she’s here?
Could it be that Suman’s medicine has no effect on him anymore?
After the family had dinner, Gu Ziheng took Su Man out of the house.
In the car.
Su Man asked, "Why do you want to go out?"
"Aren't you uncomfortable in my house? Why don't you come out and take a stroll?"
"I'm not comfortable staying here. I can ask the driver to go home."
"...I'm upset. Can't I go out and relax?"
"Okay, but go your own way. Why bring me along?"
"...Suman, your heart is really made of stone."
Su Man asked with amusement: "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Ziheng stopped talking, holding the steering wheel, looking at the road ahead, looking a little gloomy.
Suman rarely saw him like this.
"Your mother apologized to Luo Yan for you hitting her. This news will probably spread among your circle of friends soon. Xu Xiuyuan, Yu Wenshu and others will not really break up with you. You are the leader of your iron triangle." Su Man teased him.
Gu Ziheng's brows knitted tighter and tighter, "Do you think I'm upset about this?"
"What else?"
"I seem to have figured out some things these past few days. Things that I haven't understood in all these years suddenly become clear to me."
Su Man heard the seriousness in his tone and was about to ask.
Sizzle——
The sharp friction sound between the tires and the asphalt road pierces people's ears.
Gu Ziheng suddenly braked on the road.
Su Man looked at the several cars that had just sped past her car and broke out in a cold sweat.
Gu Ziheng said quietly, "Xiao Beisheng never treated me as a brother. He approached me because of you."
Su Man scolded him: "You are crazy, what a joke, before I dated you, I didn't even know him."
"No, it's true," Gu Ziheng grabbed a handful of hair in pain. "I've had this guess before, but I didn't want to believe it. I even called myself crazy. But these days, I've been looking back at everything that happened, one by one, and comparing it over and over again... It seems like, damn it, he really did it for you."
