“Hm? What banquet?” Su Rui asked, slightly stunned by what Gu Yu Cheng had just said.

“Wan Wei’s Charity Gala.” Gu Yu Cheng said. After a pause, he briefly explained what kind of banquet it was.

Actually, there was no need for Gu Yu Cheng to explain. Su Rui had heard of this banquet before since it was considered a relatively large charity banquet in the business circle.

And it was one of the few banquets that Gu Yu Cheng would attend.

Even though Gu Company is not the original initiator of Wan Wei’s Charity Gala, they are one of the sponsors.

“So you want to invite me?” Su Rui blinked her eyes and smiled. She slightly raised her head to look at Gu Yu Cheng and asked.

“En.” When Gu Yu Cheng heard that question, he nodded and tightened his grip on Su Rui’s arm, and asked softly, “Accompany me to attend as a girlfriend, okay?”

This matter was not thought out suddenly. Originally, Gu Yu Cheng had planned to bring Su Rui to this banquet.

So Gu Yu Cheng is planning to make their relationship public?

Su Rui raised her eyebrows and said inwardly.

Both of them hadn’t been hiding their relationship. Moreover, if nothing were to happen, they would be engaged in the future, and even married would be made public in this circle.

Therefore, it is reasonable for her to attend the banquet together with Gu Yu Cheng as his girlfriend.

“When is the banquet?” SU Rui asked.

After all, she still had to check if she had anything important to attend on that day.

“This Saturday.” Gu Yu Cheng said. After a pause, he added, “It starts at 7pm on Saturday night.”

“En.” Su Rui nodded her head.

“Would you be free?” Gu Yu Cheng asked, but he was waiting for Su Rui’s reply.

“Yes.”

“I can accompany you to attend, but” With a slight pause, there was a playful glint on Su Rui’s face, she added, “there is a condition.”

When Gu Yu Cheng heard what Su Rui had said, the original apprehension in his heart dispelled.

“What are the conditions?” Gu Yu Cheng smiled and said, “Tell me.”

“Before I accompany you to the banquet, you must accompany me to my house.” Su Rui as she grinned.

He didn’t think that Su Rui would be talking about this condition since it was supposed to be suggested by him.

When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, he was first dumbfounded. Then, he reacted, and his eyes tinged with a flash of surprise.

This condition was exactly what he was looking for.

“Sure.” Gu Yu Cheng had a smile on his face and responded without any hesitation.

“Then, when can I visit your house?” Gu Yu Cheng asked.

“Can you spare some time on this Friday afternoon?” Su Rui inquired.

Regarding meeting the parents, both Gu Yu Cheng and Mother Su had already been discussing this matter with Su Rui before.

Su Rui took advantage of Gu Yu Cheng’s business trip this week to contemplate it by herself.

It is not to say that they would have to immediately make arrangements for their marriage once they meet their parents.

It is just that judging by their current development, Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng were considered to be stabilised, and it was only right to formally meet both parents.

Moreover, Gu Yu Cheng was going to bring to the banquet where Gu Company was one of the sponsors. This had a different meaning in itself.

If she didn’t report this to her parents in advance, when the time comes, Old Comrade Su would be so angry that he would jump to his feet?

“Yes.” Gu Yu Cheng responded.

“You don’t have classes on Friday?”

“En, I do not have classes in the afternoon.” Su Rui nodded and added, “So you’ll pick me up at school first on friday afternoon?”

“Alright.”

After saying that, Gu Yu Cheng pondered for a moment and finally asked, “What does Auntie like?”

When one visits, it’s natural to give gifts to show one’s appreciation.

As for what to give.

It is easy to figure out for Chairman Su, but it’s Mrs Su that Gu Yu Cheng has no understanding of.

“Oh,” When Su Rui heard his question, Su Rui also thought about it and said, “My mother is a bit obsessed with all that sumptuous stuff lately. You can consider giving her a set of English afternoon tea sets.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare that.”

“But before that, remember to clean up the news on the Internet.” Su Rui thought about it and reminded him.

The previous articles about Siria and Gu Yu Cheng were obviously specially bought by someone. Su Rui was relatively calm because she knew about it. However, that doesn’t mean that Mother Su would not come across this article by chance and then feel revolted by it.

Su Rui felt that it would be over the top if he specially held a press conference in a lavish fanfare to make a clarification.

After all, this matter was just a few articles based on hearsay evidence. Even if there is public discussion, they were mostly paid to promote it. Moreover, although those articles were mostly written by Siria’s management team, they did not affix their name on it, nor did they jump out to claim the reports about them.

If Gu Yu Cheng, as the chairman of the Gu Company, jumped out to make a big and solemn clarification and denial at this time, it would be too exaggerated and out of style.

People might even say that Chairman Gu is trying to hide the truth!

After all public opinion is not a game of Go^[1] and you can swing it in the way you want it to.

It is only necessary to clean up a bit.

After all, Su Rui will still feel a little frustrated if she sees articles and news with the three words “Gu Yu Cheng”.

“En. don’t worry, all the previous articles have been dealt with and I have immediately arranged the legal team to handle them. The relevant news and rumours would not appear again.” Gu Yu Cheng reassured.

“En.” Su Rui nodded.

This was something that she didn’t really need to worry about.
