After taking another look at her daughter, Mother Gu suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She always thought that the two children were still young, but after seeing this scene tonight, she suddenly felt that the children seemed to have grown up and were no longer the children who needed their parents to worry about everything.
After a long moment, she sighed deeply and said, "Let's go up first and talk later."
"Um."
…
Inside the house.
Father and Mother Gu sat on the sofa, both silent.
Sitting next to him was Gu Xiaozhou, who had just returned, and his eyes kept looking at the man on the stool.
Gu Xiaoqiao sat next to Lu Zhiheng with a well-behaved look on her face, her head lowered, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Seeing that Father Gu hadn't said anything, Mother Gu quietly reached out and twisted his thigh, not only saying nothing but also glaring at him.
Father Gu felt pain and frowned.
But because there were outsiders present, he didn't dare to lose his temper.
He just sat up straighter, then coughed lightly and said, "Um, this little..."
At this point, Father Gu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Mother Gu, "What's the name of this young man?"
Seeing this, Lu Zhiheng immediately straightened his back and responded proactively.
"Hello uncle, my name is Lu Zhiheng, I'm 30 years old, and I'm currently starting my own business and owning a few small companies. My mother passed away early, and my income is enough to get by. My father and grandfather are still alive, and they also run some small businesses."
Lu Zhiheng briefly introduced himself and explained all the basic information that needed to be explained.
But Lu Xiaozhou, who was standing by, twitched his lips when he heard this.
He calls this a small business???
Then what are these ordinary people like them, from the slums?
"You said you were in business? How did you two meet?"
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu glanced at her daughter suspiciously.
And when he heard that this person's surname was also Lu, he immediately felt even more unhappy.
She had not forgotten what had happened to her family at the hands of a rich second-generation man named Lu.
"Oh, Mom, can you please stop interrogating me like I'm a criminal?"
Gu Xiaoqiao couldn't bear to watch it anymore and couldn't help but speak.
She knew that Mother Gu was doing this for her daughter's own good, but her personality was a little too much for her to handle.
However, Lu Zhiheng quietly patted her hands, signaling her not to interrupt, and then answered with a smile.
"Uncle and aunt, Xiao Qiao and I met at a jewelry exhibition. She was working part-time as a receptionist there at the time. We exchanged ideas about some pieces, and Xiao Qiao is very talented in this area, showing strong professional skills. So I later invited her to work part-time as a jewelry designer assistant at our company. Over time, we gradually became familiar with each other."
Jewelry exhibition?
It sounded familiar to Mother Gu.
She remembered that her daughter seemed to have mentioned it to her before.
The child often works part-time on weekends and uses the money he earns as his own living expenses, and does not ask them for money.
Moreover, this child has loved drawing since he was young. Whenever he has nothing to do, he will draw accessories and clothes of his own design on paper.
Unexpectedly, this turned out to be true.
Gu Xiaoqiao was secretly amazed when he heard this, and thought to himself: He is worthy of being a president, his brain is really working well.
With this said, his parents wouldn't be surprised if they knew she opened a jewelry company.
And this reason is solid and reliable.
"I see."
"Father Gu also heard the sincerity in the other party's words and nodded.
"Xiao Qiao has loved tinkering with these things since she was little. We don't understand why, but she's very strong-willed and demands that she do everything well. She can be a bit stubborn sometimes, so you have to be more tolerant of her..."
Seeing that Father Gu was going off topic, Mother Gu immediately cleared her throat and signaled with her eyes that he should stop talking nonsense.
"Xiao Lu, I think you have good conditions. Why haven't you got married yet at this age?"
Mother Gu put on a polite smile and asked casually.
In fact, she was very curious in her heart, because in her opinion, this young man was handsome, and she and her family were all in business, so he looked like a rich young man.
Shouldn't a man like this marry a girl of equal social status?
They are ordinary people from small families and cannot afford her.
When Lu Zhiheng heard this, he knew that Mother Gu was testing him.
But he was not panicked and still smiled.
"To be honest, my relationship with my family isn't very good. My father remarried shortly after my mother passed away, and he didn't care much about me. I was raised by my aunt. I went abroad to study alone after high school, and when I returned at 24, I started my own business. I've been busy with company matters for the past few years and haven't had time to think about relationships, so..."
Having said this, he paused deliberately.
This has been explained very clearly.
Hearing this, Mother Gu and Father Gu looked at each other, their faces slightly embarrassed.
I didn’t expect that this rich kid also has a pitiful side.
My mother passed away early and my father didn't love me.
Forced to learn independence early...
Mother Gu inexplicably felt a bit of sympathy in her heart, and her attitude towards Lu Zhiheng was no longer as disgusted and resistant as before.
An hour later.
When Gu Xiaoqiao came down the stairs from Lu Zhiheng, she kept staring at his face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing this, Lu Zhiheng couldn't help but smile softly.
"Ask whatever you want to know. I promise to tell you everything I know."
Gu Xiaoqiao raised an eyebrow and said, "As expected of Mr. Lu, he managed to convince my mother with just one conversation. He's really impressive."
"No, no."
Lu Zhiheng shook his head. "This was really unexpected. I have to visit again another day."
"By the way, I want to ask you something."
Lu Zhiheng thought about it and decided to ask.
Gu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask directly. Why is Mr. Lu still being polite to me?"
"Does Lu Mingxuan's incident this time have anything to do with you?"
This topic made Gu Xiaoqiao stunned.
After a long while, he slowly said, "You mean..."
