One could tell by looking at Mrs. Gu’s glances as she eyed Gu Yu Cheng that it was not the first time Mrs. Gu had faced this kind of situation.

It was that boy called Wang something who colluded with you right, the next time that person comes to pick up documents from her home, he will see how she deals with him!

Mrs. Gu thought to herself.

On the other hand, Gu Yu Cheng looked down at his phone’s notification of an incoming call calmly.

“Sorry, please excuse me for a moment.”

Gu Yu Cheng looked at the two elders and nodded at Su Rui as he got up.

In this year, Mrs. Gu had arranged all kinds of blind dates for him. 19 times out of 20, if Mrs. Gu didn’t perform the show of firstly crying, secondly making a fuss, and thirdly hanging herself every time, Gu Yu Cheng would never come.

But even if he came, it didn’t mean that he would waste his time on such meaningless things.

Only that this time, it was different from the previous times.

There was an incoming call. Gu Yu Cheng did not immediately leave and instead went towards the window next to the private room and answered the phone.

“Hello.”

“Chairman, there will be an important meeting in an hour that you need to attend in person,” said the man on the other end of the phone in one breath.

Wang Zhou had said this sentence more than ten times before. It was the same phrase every time. He was very familiar with it.

Wang Zhou thought that the chairman’s next answer would be, “Ok, I will be on my way there.”

He didn’t think that today, Gu Yu Cheng’s response would be, “Since it is an important meeting, why didn’t you arrange it in advance? Postpone the meeting.”

“Chairman, you…”

When did you change the script? Why didn’t he get the notice to cooperate in the performance!

As an assistant to the chairman of the board of directors, Wang Zhou felt wronged.

Instead, he listened as Gu Yu Cheng responded, “If there are any problems, you can make the judgement. Those that you cannot handle, just leave it.”

While he was speaking, Gu Yu Cheng’s eyes were looking at the people in the private room. His vision stopped on Su Rui for a moment.

At that moment, the girl was sitting there smiling. He didn’t know what she said to the two parents, but Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Su both looked happy.

“Later, I’ll return to the company.” Gu Yu Cheng said.

It can be seen that Miss Su’s attitude towards this blind date was earnest and calm. If Gu Yu Cheng leaves first on some business pretext, it would appear that he has no demeanour and is even less mature than a little girl.

Looking at Gu Yu Cheng as he returned to his seat, Mrs. Gu rudely glared at her son but there was also satisfaction in her eyes.

At the very least, this time, this unfilial son did not immediately leave as he had done several times before.

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Yu Cheng quietly and then looked at Su Rui sitting opposite of her. A flash of light appeared in her eyes.

She excitedly thought in her heart that there was hope after all.

“Ah, it must be boring to sit with two old aunties that are half-buried in the ground.” Mrs. Gu’s eyes turned and looked at Su Rui.

“Qu, qu, qu.^[1] What old aunties? If you want to be old, be old by yourself. I am still young.” Mrs. Su pretended to glare at Mrs. Gu as she joked. Mrs. Su could see that Mrs. Gu was very satisfied with her daughter.

“You are also old. Both of our children are already so big that they are at the age of marriage. What’s the matter? You still want to pretend to be young?” Mrs. Gu responded without batting an eye.

As soon as those words came out, both of them laughed.

Although Mrs. Gu mentioned “talking about marriage” in what she said, because the atmosphere was pleasant now, it was not awkward.

After that, Mrs. Gu looked at Su Rui with a smile. “Rui Rui must also think that chatting with your mother and I are boring.”

As she looked at Su Rui now, Mrs. Gu was 100% satisfied and she felt increasingly satisfied as she looked at her.

“How about this, we’ll sit here and chat. We won’t keep you here to suffer. Let your Cheng ge ge to bring you around. There is a good shopping mall nearby.” After Mrs. Gu finished talking, she looked at Liu Yue who was sitting beside Su Rui and sought Liu Yue’s opinion.

As for the person beside her, he was already not young but he still let her, as a mother, worry about his marriage all the time, humph! His opinion was not important.

After listening, the smile on Liu Yue was a bit hesitant.

“Well, Rui Rui has classes in the evening,” Liu Yue said, which meant that she was refusing Mrs. Gu. After saying that, she pretended to look at Su Rui and said, “This kid, when she starts playing, she won’t notice the time. If the class is delayed in the evening, her father will lecture her when she returns.”

Even though she knew that Gu Yu Cheng was decent, after all, it was the first time they had met. How could she let these two people go out alone?

Gu Yu Cheng wouldn’t be affected, but her family’s daughter was a girl!

Hearing Liu Yue’s words, Mrs. Gu also realised that she was rushing things. It was not right to let them go out alone.

“Yes, Rui Rui’s studies are very important at her age.” Mrs. Gu said with a smile and nod. Her facial expression quickly returned to normal.

“But would Rui Rui feel tired? To have classes in the evening?”

“It’s not tiring. I invite the teacher to my house and to teach one hour of the basic economic course.” Liu Yue smiled as she replied.

Although what she had just said was somewhat equivocating with Mrs. Gu, Liu Yue wasn’t lying.

It was Su Rui’s request to invite a tutor to tutor her in economics.

This time, as soon as school started, Su Rui would be in her third year at B university.

Su Rui hadn’t touched this course before.

The original owner studied a course that was similar to art in the United States and didn’t know anything about economics at all.

While for Su Rui, herself, even though she graduated and found a job. She had given up on art and had chosen an accounting major. She more or less had a bit of experience in economic management.

However, Su Rui wasn’t doing very well in university. After graduating for so many years, she had already returned that knowledge to her teacher.

As such, in order not to fall behind and be lost in class, Su Rui decisively requested to be tutored for the contents of year one and year two.

At first, she meant that she wanted to go to a cram school. However, as soon as she said that, the next day, Father Su got a famous teacher who was from C university to provide tutoring to Su Rui.

Both Mrs. Su and Mrs. Gu were experts in the field of communication and chatted about many topics.

Even though Gu Yu Cheng was not interested in the content of their talk, he would keep his demeanour and politeness and answer when he was occasionally asked.

With these two people, the blind date ended with an excellent atmosphere.

When she left the building, Mrs. Gu wanted Gu Yu Cheng to send Liu Yue and Su Rui to the Su house first. Naturally, she was declined by Mrs. Su.

“Next time Rui Rui can visit Auntie Yu’s house. Your uncle has a lot of good paintings.”

“Yes.”

…

When they got home, they noticed that Su Hong Yuan had not returned yet, so Mrs. Su took Su Rui to sit on the sofa. Mrs. Su asked seriously, “Rui Rui, let me ask you a question ah, how did you feel about today?”

“Well, it was just like that. There was nothing special about it.” Su Rui hesitated and replied.

It was just a blind date, a face-to-face meeting, a brief chat for an afternoon, how could she have any thoughts about it.

“Mum meant the Gu family’s Gu Yu Cheng. What do you think of him?” To discuss this topic, Liu Yue did not have the eagerness as when the mother and son were present before, but she became very prudent.

Liu Yue can see that Yu Jing likes their family’s Rui Rui. Yu Jing has a good personality. If Rui Rui marries into that family, it would be easier for her.

Of course, There would always be some disagreement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the Gu family is a little better.

For the current Gu family, although Lao Gu is still around, the real head is Gu Yu Cheng.

In ancient times, if Rui Rui married into their family, she would be the lady of the house. If there was any disagreement between Yu Jing and her daughter, she would not be bullied in the Gu family.

“Um… Gu Yu Cheng?” After hearing Mrs. Su, Su Rui thought for a moment and replied, “I think he is ok.”

Su Rui thinks that this blind date was alright. Overall, he seems to be not too bad. His age, education and other areas were also very good.

Although she thought that this person was a little boring, isn’t the purpose of marriage finding someone dependable to live life with? For his personality to be a little bit boring is not important, if she were to find a playboy, it would cause more of a headache for her.

“Then, do you like him?” Liu Yue asked subconsciously.

She had heard that in their circle, many people want to marry into the Gu family. One reason would be because of the titles of Gu family’s young madam and Chairman Gu’s madame. These two titles were attractive. A more prominent reason would be that Gu Yu Cheng was just too outstanding.

When Su Rui heard Mrs. Su’s question, she couldn’t help but blush even though she is a grown female youth.

“Well, I don’t think I like him yet.” Su Rui said shyly.

How many couples who registered for marriage fell in love at first sight?

What’s more, the man she met for the first time today had only said a few words in total.

However, Su Rui didn’t dislike that man either.

“I think it’s better to get to know each other more and then consider it again.” Su Rui thought for a moment and said seriously.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Liu Yue’s eyes brightened.

“Rui Rui is right. Let’s observe the situation.” Liu Yue nodded her head in agreement.

Their family doesn’t covet the Gu family’s anything, let alone selling their daughter to seek honour. Su Rui’s well being was the most important thing.

As for the selection of son-in-law, they would treat it with the same spirit as selecting lipstick!

After a pause, Liu Yue held Su Rui’s hands again and said, “I guess Yu Jing will invite you to visit her home some time. It’s an invitation from the elders. It doesn’t matter if you go or not, just pay attention to your etiquette.”

“If you think that Gu Yu Cheng is decent, you can go. But if you think that the other party is not, you can tell me and I will deal with it.” Su Mother had already thought of all of these situations for her daughter.

Anyways, Su Mother’s meaning was, “Our Rui Rui is still young, we don’t need to rush. We can choose slowly and choose the best.”

“Yes.” Su Rui smiled and nodded as she saw the concern in Mrs. Su’s eyes.

As they were talking, Su Hong Yuan had just come back.

“What are the two of you, mother and daughter, whispering secretly about?” Asked Su Hong Yuan as he entered the room.

“You already said we are whispering secretly, how can we let you know?” Liu Yue said to Su Hong Yuan, pouting.

After joking, Liu Yue took Su Hong Yuan’s suit jacket and said, “Today, I took my daughter to have afternoon tea with Yu Jing and her son.”

Mrs. Su vaguely said this. However, Su Hong Yuan still understood what she meant.

“Yu Jing?”

“You are saying the Gu family? Gu Yu Cheng?”

Hearing this, Su Hong Yuan gave a startled look and he suddenly frowned.
