Mother Su did do it on purpose.

But she didn’t intend to interrupt their daughter and Gu Yu Cheng’s phone call. It was mainly because she couldn’t hold herself back.

Especially after she just received a call from Yu Jing.

This woman is really anxious…

Liu Yue secretly ridiculed inwardly.

This matter…has to be said from tonight’s banquet.

Originally, it wasn’t a secret relationship or that the two families have gratitude and enmity against each other, and they couldn’t be together. Su Rui had no thoughts or intentions of hiding her and Gu Yu Cheng’s dating relationship.

As for Gu Yu Cheng, he probably thought the same way too.

So, there wasn’t anything to refrain from when he sent Su Rui to the Chen family’s banquet.

As a result, before the banquet began, their relationship was known by the people present in the banquet.

Although Mrs Gu did not attend the banquet, how could she not hear any rumours with her social contacts in her social circle?

Before the banquet was over, the news that his son and the Su family’s daughter was suspected to be dating each other had already reached Mrs Gu’s ears.

Several people even called her to confirm it.

When she heard this news, Yu Jing was shocked.

The word ‘Jing (惊)’ from the two words ‘pleasantly surprised’ (惊喜).

After all, regarding this girl, Su Rui, Yu Jing really liked her and felt that she was especially suitable for their family’s Gu Yu Cheng.

Previously, when Liu Yue came to meet her and informed her that both children weren’t successful, she was so angry that she had almost had cholecystitis.

After that, Yu Jing did have the thought of introducing another blind date to her son again. Unfortunately, it was probably due to the preconceived influence that she knew of the Su family. When she looked at other families, Yu Jing was always a little dissatisfied.

Yu Jing knew Liu Yue very well. If there were no news between both children, that woman wouldn’t let the rumours spread in the banquet.

Thus, she didn’t even wait for her son’s confirmation. After she slightly calmed herself down from the excitement, Yu Jing called the Su family directly.

When Liu Yue received a phone call from Yu Jing, she wasn’t surprised.

“Lao Su and I have just heard from Rui Rui today. There were some misunderstandings between them before. However, they made up just recently.” After listening to Yu Jing said on the phone, Liu Yue thought about it and gave an account.

“Ah, Gu Yu Cheng has to be blamed for this. He clearly liked your family’s Rui Rui, but he kept to himself and didn’t say a word.” Yu Jing feigned a sigh and said. In her heart, she didn’t mind letting her son bear the faults^[1] just to give her son a good impression.

“Liu Yue, we haven’t seen each other for weeks, right?” Yu Jing adjusted her tone and continued, “You see, the misunderstanding between the children has been explained clearly. If not, why dont both families have an appointment to have dinner together one day. It’s rare that your family’s Su Hong Yuan and Lao Gu was about to return back.”

Mrs Gu casually said this as if she was just chatting.

However, when Mother Su heard what Mrs Gu had said, her expression became serious again.

Don’t just listen and feel that Yu Jing’s words were casual. When both families meet, it’s not as simple as having a meal or having a chat.

On this point, Liu Yue didn’t believe that Yu Jing was unaware of.

It could only be said that Yu Jing was too anxious.

Heh, our family’s Rui Rui isn’t in a hurry.

Liu Yue said to herself as she looked up proudly.

Anyway, she wasn’t afraid that the other person could see her expression through the phone.

But, to meet now is considered quite early.

Not to mention that Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui had a misunderstanding previously, which made Mrs Su uncertain. Even if she was certain, both of them had just started their relationship as boyfriends and girlfriends. To meet between both families is considered quite early.

“Aiya, it’s going to have to wait a little longer.” As she thought about it, Liu Yue pretended to sigh and added, “Well, it seems that there are some projects in Lao Su’s company that was about to start recently. He’s so busy that he can’t meet anyone these days.”

Yu Jing didn’t know whether Chairman Su was really busy or not, but she understood what Mrs Su was saying between the lines.

She also knew that she was acting hastily, Yu Jing sighed.

“Oh yeah, the weather has changed recently. Do make sure that your Su Hong Yuan pay more attention to it.”

“Isn’t that so?”

……

There was no consensus on the last question, but the two women who were good at chatting started chatting without any awkwardness.

After Liu Yue had hung up, Yu Jing looked at the time and wasn’t in a hurry to sleep. Just like this, she sat in the living room like an old deity.

“Isn’t Madam going to rest?”

“I’m waiting for Gu Yu Cheng to return home.” Mrs Gu said. She frowned and continued, “Go and call his assistant and ask him where he is now and why he hasn’t returned home.”

Mrs Gu was anxious to ask about the progress between Gu Yu Cheng and Rui Rui.

Unfortunately, the housekeeper called Wang Zhou to know that Gu Yu Cheng wasn’t in the company at all, and Wang Zhou didn’t know where their chairman was currently.

……

As for where Gu Yu Cheng was at now, he wasn’t in the company. He was drinking with Zhou Zi Yuan and Tang Jun in a VIP club.

They had asked Gu Yu Cheng out for a drink several times. If Gu Yu Cheng came once out of ten times, it was already good.

This time, the busy person, Gu Yu Cheng, could attend, which made Zhou Zi Yuan and Tan Jun very surprised.

Then, these two people found out that Gu Yu Cheng wasn’t here to drink at all. He was clearly here to scatter dog food^[2]!

“Chairman Gu, are you afraid that others won’t know that you have a girlfriend?” Zhou Zi Yuan frowned and complained towards Gu Yu Cheng as he asked.

The matter previously where Gu Yu Cheng sent Miss Su to the Chen family’s banquet in a high-profile manner was even heard by him who was working laboriously in the company moving bricks. Otherwise, how can he leave aside the big pile of documents to pull Gu Yu Cheng out to have a drink?

At first, they couldn’t believe it.

They only believed when Gu Yu Cheng arrived here and sat for an hour and talked on the phone for half an hour.

Mainly, this guy’s attitude… makes one’s hair stand on end!

Zhou Zi Yuan and Tang Jun would never have believed it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes on how this chap spoke so gently and took the initiative to care about a girl for a day.

It was practically where the sun came out from the west.

“Are you serious?”

Although knowing Gu Yu Cheng’s personality, if it weren’t real, he absolutely won’t waste his time to deal with a woman and take the initiative. But, this situation made one question, and Zhou Zi Yuan couldn’t help asking more.

Once this was asked, he saw Gu Yu Cheng directly shot a cold glare at him.

Zhou Zi Yuan stared blankly for a moment and smiled as he drank his alcohol.

Alright, he shouldn’t have asked such an obvious and stupid question.

“The daughter of Su Hua group, I heard that she came back only a few months ago, but i haven’t met her before.” Zhou Zi Yuan raised his eyebrows and added, “When are you going to let your friends meet her?”

When Zhou Zi Yuan asked this question, his expression became serious.

“I have seen Miss Su before.” Tang Jun, at the side, smiled and said.

“You?” Zhou Zi Yuan’s expression was shocked and gave an inquiring look to Tang Jun as he asked, “when have you met her?”

Not only Zhou Zi Yuan, but also Gu Yu Cheng threw an inquiring look at Tang Jun.

“From the pictures.” Tang Jun said smartly. After a pause, he explained, “In Tang Xiao’s Moments^[3].”

“It seemed that Miss Su is the same age as Tang Xiao?” Thinking about this, Tang Jun said.

“Cough, isn’t your younger sister only in her second-year?”

“Third-year”

Hearing this, Zhou Zi Yuan did not care whether she was in her second or third year, he just looked at Gu Yu Cheng with a face that he just ate a big melon^[4].

“Just a third-year? Wow, Gu Yu Cheng. How did you do it?” Zhou Zi Yuan seemingly teased and asked.

In reality, in his heart he was more surprised that Miss Su took down Gu Yu Cheng.

“She’s just a little girl?”

As Zhou Zi Yuan thought of Tang Xiao’s childish appearance, the corner of his mouth twitched continuously. In the same way, he didn’t believe that people like Gu Yu Cheng would like a little girl.

Hearing this, Gu Yu Cheng looked up and glanced at both of them.

When Zhou Zi Yuan thought that Gu Yu Cheng would say, “What’s wrong with being with a little girl?”

But they saw Gu Yu Cheng chuckled and said with a calm expression, “Do you think that I will like a little girl?”

He doesn’t have that preference.

“Isn’t your girlfriend one of them?” If there wasn’t any mistake, Miss Su should be 20 to 22 years old?

What can both of them do together? Play board games together? Or watch animation?

Thinking about this scene, Zhou Zi Yuan felt his tooth was aching.

“Su Rui isn’t.” Gu Yu Cheng assuredly said.

This has nothing to do with age.

Most of the time, Su Rui gives off a feeling that she was more like a girl of the same age as him. She isn’t playful, or she doesn’t have any unrealistic ideas. Most importantly, they can communicate with each other.

And Su Rui’s attitude towards dating and marriage makes Gu Yu Cheng’s heart pound.
