“By the way,” Tang Xiao seemed to have a bright idea as she thought of something and said half-jokingly. “You have to go on a blind date anyways. Why don’t you consider my family, my older brother…”

As Tang Xiao was saying halfway, Su Rui was interrupted by a cell phone vibration.

“Hold on. I think there’s a phone call.”

Su Rui was also puzzled.

After coming to this world, she has only known a few people. Who would be calling her at this time?

At this time, comrade Lao Su should be instructing at the company and Mother Su was probably busy “PK-ing,^[1]” with her old sisters. How could they have the time to call her?

Calls related to investments and finance? Calls from the real estate agents or to sell insurance?

Su Rui removed the phone from her ears.

[Chairman Gu]

Gu Yu Cheng?

The moment she saw the call notification on her phone, Su Rui almost thought she was hallucinating.

After returning from the Gu company, Su Rui initially wanted to block Gu Yu Cheng’s number. But she thought that this would be quite unreasonable.

It’s only a misunderstanding….

So, in the end, Su Rui changed the three words of [Gu Yu Cheng] to [Chairman Gu], and added a remark: The Gu group.

Why is Gu Yu Cheng calling her now? If it was about explaining the misunderstanding, Mother Su should have already explained to Mrs Gu clearly.

She stared at the phone screen which showed a blinking call notification, Su Rui blinked her eyes.

Maybe he accidentally pressed the wrong number?

In order to verify her conjecture, Su Rui didn’t decline Gu Yu Cheng’s call and pressed the sound volume and silenced her phone. She just stared at the constantly lit mobile phone screen for about half a minute until the call became “missed call”.

She resumed the phone call with Tang Xiao.

“Who called?” Tang Xiao asked, “Your mum?”

“No”

She thought and replied, “Maybe he called the wrong number.”

“Oh. By the way, where did I stop just now?” Tang Xiao said.

You said that you wanted me to consider your family.

Su Rui added this sentence in her heart.

“What did you say? It seemed to be nothing important. To let me go shopping with you?” Su Rui blinked her eyes and replied.

“It wasn’t that. Oh, right!”

At that time, the phone vibrated again.

“It seems that he didn’t call the wrong number. I will hang up now. Let’s chat later.”

“Alright, alright. I’m going to be forced to work now.”

After hanging up Tang Xiao’s call, Su Rui looked at her phone screen lit up with the words [Chairman Gu], she frowned and hesitatingly answered the phone call.

“Chairman Gu?”

On the phone, Gu Yu Cheng was startled when he heard a clear and pleasant voice, which was obviously polite and distant. His heart felt strangely blocked^[2].

“Su Rui?” Gu Yu Cheng said.

Alright, it looks like he didn’t call the wrong the number.

She sighed, pacified the troubled look on her face and returned to her normal state. She said, “It’s me.”

“Well, what can I do for you?”

“Do you have time? I wanted to…”

When Gu Yu Cheng said halfway, Su Rui had an inexplicable expression on her face.

“Erm, I’m sorry. It’s just that there are so many things to handle before school starts, I may not have any free time.” Su Rui replied without thinking.

“If it’s about the previous issue…” Su Rui continued after a pause, “My mother should have explained to Mrs Gu clearly. If you need me to explain anything more, I can call Mrs Gu later.”

If it’s not about this, it seems that they really have nothing to talk about.

Su Rui was about to speak when Gu Yu Cheng said, “No.”

After having afternoon tea with Liu Yue, Madam Yu returned home unhappily and scolded Gu Yu Cheng.

Regarding this, Gu Yu Cheng did not explain. He didn’t need to explain anything to Mrs Gu.

Just that…

Gu Yu Cheng wanted to say something more on the phone.

But he heard Su Rui said, “Since Mrs Gu didn’t misunderstand anything, which is great. As for my parents, Chairman Gu doesn’t have to worry.”

“I still have lessons. Then, that’s all. Goodbye.” Su Rui quickly hung up the phone after saying that.

She thought that after these days, she could treat the previous misunderstanding as someone else’s issue and calmly handle it.

But, it turns out that regarding her embarrassing experience, no matter how many times she recalled it , it’s still embarrassing.

During the one minute call with Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui was immersed in a state of embarrassment and awkwardness.

If not, I should just block him?

Su Rui stared at her phone and that idea popped up in her mind.

At this time, her mobile phone lit up again.

It was a text message.

It was sent by Gu Yu Cheng.
