"Okay, okay, since you think you have more than just a face, then prove it to me with actual actions. Since you are so outstanding, this blind date should be no problem. I'm just waiting for my daughter-in-law to come home." Gu Zhan deliberately distorted his meaning.
Gu Mingjing suddenly choked. He didn't expect that his father would use his words to turn the tables on him.
Although he is very confident in his own excellence, can he find a partner just by saying he is excellent?
"Old man, there's something wrong with what you said. No matter how outstanding I am, not everyone likes me. I'm not a member of the Great Unity, so how can I be loved by everyone? Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Gu Mingjing retorted.
"Oh, our Captain Gu, who is always full of confidence, can actually be humble." Gu Zhan said.
"Okay, okay. Modesty is a traditional virtue of our nation. Keep a low profile." Gu Mingjing pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Gu Zhan's words and waved his hand to indicate that it was not worth mentioning.
"Captain Gu, please don't be so modest. Our Captain Gu has always been invincible. If you take action, you will surely succeed immediately. I'm waiting for good news from you." Gu Zhan changed his strategy and began to praise Gu Mingjing.
Anyway, as long as Gu Mingjing can marry the daughter-in-law he has always dreamed of, what does these few nice words mean? You can say them to him every day, without repeating them for a month.
Gu Mingjing was listening there with great enjoyment, but his mind was still very clear. He was not at all overjoyed by his father's words and did not agree to something uncertain.
After Gu Zhan finished speaking, Gu Mingjing said, "Okay, old man, stop flattering me. I won't fall for it. As for whether the blind date will be successful, that depends on fate. I can't make the decision."
Want him to agree? Impossible.
Gu Mingjing hasn't seen Uncle Jian's daughter for so many years and he doesn't know her at all. Why does he think she will like him?
Gu Mingjing had no doubt about his own excellence, but Jianshu grew up in a military compound, and everyone around him was excellent.
Uncle Jian, Uncle Zhao, and other uncles and aunts, who has been able to come from that war-torn era to today, which one of them is a simple person?
Gu Mingjing is not so narcissistic as to think that no one in the world can compare to him and that all women must like him.
His plan failed to work, and after hearing so many words that gave him goosebumps, Gu Zhan felt a little angry and embarrassed for a moment.
He said directly: "I don't care. Anyway, if you fail this time, then you are a loser. Don't show off how great you are in front of me in the future. Where is the face? Anyway, if you don't bring Shushu with you during the New Year, don't even think about entering the house."
Gu Mingjing was stunned. "Old man, you are so old, why do you still cheat when you can't win the argument? How can you be like this?"
"Hmph, I was just cheating, so what? Who says I can't cheat at my age? I'm just cheating, I'm just cheating." For the sake of his daughter-in-law, Gu Zhan no longer planned to save face.
"Besides, how much have I paid for this marriage? If I hadn't mentioned you so often in front of Old Jian and Old Zhao over the years, do you think you would be the first to get the chance to go on a blind date with Shushu? You don't even know where you are in line."
Gu Mingjing was a little amused. "So I should thank you then? And as far as I know, if you hadn't been saying every day that you wanted Uncle Jian's girl to be your daughter-in-law, Uncle Jian wouldn't have changed his face when he saw me, and wouldn't have been so wary of me like a thief. Every time I went to Jing City these years, he sent the little girl away, for fear that we would meet."
He has been implicated by his father a lot over the years, and has never received a good face from Uncle Jian. I really don’t know how his father dared to say that he wanted to become a relative under Uncle Jian’s stern face. Isn’t he afraid of being beaten?
Gu Zhan: I’m not afraid. As long as I have a daughter-in-law, what does getting beaten matter?
Gu Zhan said directly: "I said you are stupid and you don't believe it. Your father and I are making long-term plans for the future. A temporary cold face is nothing. Our two families are far away from each other. If I don't mention you in front of them often and let them have a deep impression of you, how can they remember you?
No matter how reluctant your Uncle Jian is, Shushu won't stay single forever. When she reaches that age, given your Uncle Jian's personality, he'll definitely personally screen and choose the most suitable person for her. Isn't that your chance?
As soon as they start looking for someone for Shushu, you'll definitely be their first choice. After all, in terms of ability, looks, and family background, you're on par with others. Plus, your Uncle Jian and I have known each other for so many years, and we know each other inside and out, so you'll definitely be the first person they think of." Gu Zhan proudly told his son about his years-long plan.
Gu Mingjing was a little shocked and murmured, "That must have been hard work for you."
He never expected that his father would have such a long-term plan. He said that Uncle Jian always rejected his father's proposals, but his father never got discouraged and became more and more courageous. So this was his plan?
He was naive, he always thought it was his father who was shameless.
"Right, if you can marry Shushu, it will mostly be thanks to me, your father. I tell you, I have created the opportunity for you, so don't let me down and waste all my hard work over the years." Gu Zhan said proudly.
Oh, if it weren't for him, this brat would still want to get married? He'll be single for the rest of his life.
"Then Dad, aren't you worried that the little girl will find a partner for herself before Uncle Jian finds one for her? Wouldn't all your efforts be wasted in that case?" Gu Mingjing asked curiously.
"Don't worry. Considering the appearance of your Uncle Jian's beloved daughter, how could Shushu's partner pass his test so easily? Your father and I have such a good relationship with him, but after all these years, doesn't he still dislike you? If Shushu's partner cannot satisfy him in all aspects, your Uncle Jian will definitely not agree.
If that person is excellent in every way and has the approval of your Uncle Jian, then it means that you two are not destined to be together. Just like you, I haven't urged you to find a partner over the years, but I haven't stopped you from finding one either. If you find someone you like, I won't disagree.
Now, you and Shushu are both single, so isn't this fate?" Gu Zhan explained.
Although he hopes Jianshu can be his daughter-in-law, he will not force it if the two of them fall in love with other people.
Gu Mingjing understood what his father meant, which was why he never got tired of his father nagging about wanting Jianshu to be his daughter-in-law.
His father has always taken a laissez-faire attitude towards this matter and has never forced him or allowed him to date other people. His father will not introduce him to blind dates, but he will not interfere with his love life either.
"Okay, I will behave well on the blind date, but I can't guarantee that my wish will come true. Let's talk about everything after we meet. We may not be attracted to each other yet." Gu Mingjing directly expressed his true thoughts.
He had never been interested in dating before. He never paid attention to those who confessed to him and rejected them directly.
However, since he had agreed to this blind date, he would not be perfunctory. Whether it was because of his father's intentions over the years or the illusory shadow deep in his heart, he would perform well.
As for whether it will work out by then, we'll have to wait until we meet. It's still early now.
