UNEDITED

When Su Rui called Mother Su and told her that Gu Yu Cheng will be visiting their house this Friday, she was lectured by her mother.

“Look at you. This is such an important matter, but you just had to let me know right now instead of earlier. This causes your mother to not even have a little time to prepare.” Liu Yue couldn’t help but complain.

“Yu Cheng was away on a business trip, and we just confirmed it recently.” Su Rui blinked her eyes and said.

It was just decided in the middle of the night yesterday.

Of course, for the sake of Gu Yu Cheng’s good image, Su Rui won’t tell Mother Su about him coming to her school in the middle of the night.

“And there’s no need to prepare anything,” Su Rui smiled and continued, “Mum, just put on the female side’s parents’ demeanour with a scrutinising gaze, and wait at home for us to return.”

Su Rui’s witty suggestion amused Liu Yue.

She suppressed her laughter, snorted again and said, “That’s easy for you to say. I have to arrange to tidy up the house. In addition, your father and I also need to dress ourselves up, and there are many other things that should be prepared.

For this kind of situation, Lao Su is unreliable, and it would be better to rely on herself to prepare.

Liu Yue sighed inwardly and thought of another matter that Su Rui said was quite urgent.

“You said you had agreed to attend that Wan Wei Charity dinner with Gu Yu Cheng this week?”

“Mhm.”

Su Rui responded, and she then heard Mother Su say, “This is no small matter. Do you understand what I mean when I say that?”

“Don’t worry, Mum. I understand.” Su Rui said. With a pause, she added, “But Yu Cheng and I are pretty much there^[1].”

When Mother Su heard that, she nodded her head on the other end of the phone and added, “Just make sure you know what you’re doing, but we need to properly discuss this.”

“Aiya, forget it. It wouldn’t be clear if I tell you on the phone. When you come home this weekend, I will drag your dad, and we will talk over this again.”

Su Rui actually probably guessed what Liu Yue was going to say.

Gu Company’s and Su Hua’s social circles were not the same. Thus, even if those families acquainted with the Gu Company or enterprises were not strangers to the Su family, they were definitely not acquainted with each other. There is even considerable market competition between Su Hua and Gu Company and several of their partners.

This time, Su Rui is accompanying Gu Yu Cheng to attend the banquet. Naturally, she will be in contact with these companies, so it is still necessary for her to research and understand in advance.

Therefore, Su Rui did not refuse when she heard Liu Yue’s words but sternly responded instead.

“Oh, right. It would be too late to order the dress required when you attend the banquet.” Liu Yue said grudgingly.

Who asked this girl only told her now? If she informed her ten days or half a month ago, she would be able to specially prepare a “huge attack in all directions^[2]” dress.

She grumbled in her heart. Liu Yue continued, “Later, I’ll ask Vivian to send me a picture of some of their new finished products over there and directly pick one for you.”

“En, okay, thanks, Mum.” Su Rui smiled in response. She said again, “Mum, why don’t you just send me the picture later, and I’ll choose it myself?”

Su Rui trusted Ms Liu Yue’s aesthetics besides her daughter’s room and leisurewear.

It was just that Su Rui planned to pick out an evening dress herself this time.

“Okay, okay, okay. You can pick it yourself.” Liu Yue said with a smile.

“Thanks, Mum!”

“By the way, Rui Rui, the weather is getting colder these two days. In school, you should bundle up, do you understand?” Liu Yue nagged after the formal talk was over.

“En. En. Understood.” Su Rui nodded and added, “Same for you and Dad. Keep yourselves warm, especially Dad. Tell him to not to walk near the lake at night.”

Hearing Su Rui’s concern, Liu Yue was somewhat happy and looked up again to glance at Su Hong Yuan who was sitting on the opposite sofa and lowering his head as he used his phone.

He also just finished a big project, and Comrade Su is taking his annual leave and staying at home today.

“Hey, Lao So.” After ending the call with Su Rui, Liu Yue raised her foot and kicked Father Su opposite of her, “Did you hear what Rui Rui just said on the phone?”

“En. I have heard it.”

【Excellent！】

【Excellent！】

【Unbelievable！】

“Su Hong Yuan! Can’t you just turn off that stupid game of yours while I’m talking!” When Liu Yue saw that Father Su was still lowering his head and tapping his phone, Liu Yue couldn’t control her temper and flared up.

“Aren’t I listening to you now?” Father Su grumbled, but he put away his phone and looked at Mother Su. “You said that Gu Yu Cheng will be visiting our house tomorrow?”

“That is one point. The other point is that you have to follow me upstairs to see what we will wear tomorrow.”

“Oh right, I still have to go and inform Auntie to prepare tomorrow’s dinner. I don’t know if Gu Yu Cheng has anything he can’t eat….”

“And should we prepare alcohol? You make up your mind for this matter between you men.”

Listening to Liu Yue muttering continuously, Su Hong Yuan nodded his head.

“You decide.”

“What else can I expect from you if I am not the one making the decisions?” Madam Liu Yue rolled her eyes towards Father Su and said.

“I have to tell you another thing.” As she said that, Liu Yue’s face looked a bit more serious, “Gu Yu Cheng is planning to take our Rui Rui to that Wanwei Charity Gala hosted by Gu Company.”

When Father Su heard Mother Su’s words, his eyes looked towards her and said, “I know that.”

“You knew?” Mother Su widened her eyes.

“And when did you know that?” Looking at that calm look of Su Hong Yuan, Liu Yue couldn’t help but ask.

“It is the last time when Gu Yu Cheng came to our house to pick our daughter up. He happened to meet me at the door, so he mentioned it to me.”

“Then you didn’t say so earlier!” If he said it earlier, she could even prepare a dress for Rui Rui.

“He just mentioned that. And didn’t you pull me up as soon as I entered the house and say how good is that 998 blood pressure device that Mrs Liu or Mrs Li sold in Moments?” Father Su said aggrievedly.

When Liu Yue heard that, she feigned a glare at Su Hong Yuan: Hmph, I will let you off.

“However, I didn’t know much about the companies that Gu Company has dealings with. So when Rui Rui comes back, you’ll have to talk to her about it.” Liu Yue said.

“Alright.” Father Su nodded but still calmly added, “Don’t worry. Our daughter isn’t stupid. You don’t need to worry so much at all.”

Men see things much more objectively than women.

Until now, Su Hong Yuan still maintained his initial judgement: This person, Gu Yu Cheng, was not so easy to handle.

The way married couples and lovers get along is not only by feeling but also wisdom.

At first, Father Su didn’t approve of the blind date because he was afraid that his daughter wouldn’t be able to handle Gu Yu Cheng.

But, now it seemed that his own daughter could get along so well with him. What is there for Father Su to worry about?

……

^[1] It is said vaguely but I think it refers to Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui’s relationship is practically at the stage of getting engaged or officially together.

^[2] 大杀四方(dà shā sìfāng)- The literal meaning is huge attack in all direction. It means to surpass the rest of the pack with skills. Therefore, it may refer to a dress that surpasses others, i.e. the most beautiful or stunning.
