138 She’s Not Good Enough for Gu Quan

“Kind of.” Qian Yue abandoned her usual attitude towards love. “I’ve decided to take it seriously this time.”

“What if he doesn’t?”

“Then enjoy the moment.” After all, life was unpredictable. There was no need to seek trouble when it was time to enjoy.

“You have a good outlook on life.” Pei Yilan followed them out. “Unlike me.”

“Has Jiang Ye contacted you in the past two days?”

!!

“We talk occasionally, but normally just a few words.”

“I suggest you find a chance to confess to him.” Qian Yue pushed aside a few strands of hair by her ear. “Try to find out what he thinks.”

“What if he rejects me?”

“Don’t think too much about what hasn’t happened yet.” Lin Jiao helped her adjust her hat. “Maybe he’ll agree immediately.”

Pei Yilan took a deep breath. “That’s true.”

She walked to the table, listened to them talk about the following schedule, and forgot all about Jiang Ye.

“Let’s go.” Chu Yuzhou led the group of people to the third checkpoint.

When the setting sun faded bit by bit from the horizon, they rode the cable car down the mountain.

Good times passed quickly.

On Sunday afternoon, they bade farewell to the villa and set off on their way back.

“Is there a traffic jam?” Lin Jiao, who was sitting in the back, looked up and asked Qu Shao.

“It’s an accident.”

“Is it serious?”

“It’s not particularly serious.” Qu Shao stuck his head out and happened to see a figure.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the man standing in front of the BMW on the left. After confirming that it was him, he quickly closed the window.

“What’s wrong?” He acted like a sneaky thief and inevitably caught Pei Zhi’s attention.

“Nothing.” Qu Shao turned around and winked at him. “It’s too bloody. Don’t look out.”

Pei Zhi looked out nonetheless and saw a familiar face.

Afraid that Lin Jiao would be too stimulated, he held her waist and lifted her up on his knees. “Jiaojiao, it’s time to change the toiletries at home.”

“Towel and toothbrush?”

“Yes, and a few bottles of detergent.”

This conversation successfully diverted Lin Jiao’s attention from looking out the window.

She leaned against Pei Zhi’s chest. “Uncle, do you want to eat steak tonight? I’ll make it for you.”

“Alright.” Pei Zhi rubbed the ring on his finger.

When Qu Shao stepped on the accelerator, Pei Zhi looked at the man and woman beside him through the window with disgust and disdain.

Gu Quan, who seemed to have noticed something, frowned.

Seeing that the unfamiliar car was driving towards the highway, he pulled back his thoughts and drove to the other side.

“Tian.” When they got out of the car, he held Su Tian’s hand. “Don’t worry, my parents are very nice.”

“Will they like me?”

“Definitely.”

Su Tian walked along the corridor of the teahouse to the door of the private room nervously.

She gripped the string of the gift box tightly. When she saw the old couple, she smiled sweetly.

“Dad, Mom.” Gu Quan pulled out a chair and asked her to sit down first. “This is my girlfriend, Su Tian.”

As the head of the family, Gu Chengyi exuded an aura that made him seem unapproachable.

“Good, have a seat.” He picked up his teacup and gestured for his wife to talk to them.

Zhang Wanlian adjusted the cloak on her shoulder and smiled. “Where does Miss Su work?”

“I just returned to the country. I haven’t found a job yet.”

“Which country did you study in before?”

“Spain.” Su Tian held the glass of water with both hands. “I studied business administration there.”

“Master degree?”

“Yes.” She paused for a moment. “If I have time in the future, I’ll consider pursuing a doctor’s degree.”

Zhang Wanlian nodded in understanding.

She pushed the snacks on the table forward and asked Gu Quan, “Have you seen her parents?”

“Not yet.”

“Aren’t you high school classmates? You’ve known her for so many years, but you’ve never been a guest at her house?”

“Her upbringing is very strict.” Gu Quan handed a cigar to his father. “I’ve only been to her neighborhood.”

“Is it far from our house?”

“Far. She’s in Bo Yang district close to the outskirts.”

Zhang Wanlian couldn’t remember the name of the villa area in Bo Yang district, so she asked, “Is her house located in the residential area developed by Hongyuan real estate?”

“No, her house is behind the farmers’ market.”

“Is there a neighborhood over there?”

Gu Quan nodded. “It’s an old neighborhood.” He looked at Gu Chengyi. “Dad, you should have been there before.”

Zhang Wanlian was now sure of her family background.

She ate the pastries slowly and chatted with Su Tian out of courtesy.

“Quan.” Gu Chengyi stubbed out his cigarette and looked at the time on his phone. “You said over the phone that you have something to tell us. What is it?”

“Tian and I…” Gu Quan held her hand and said very solemnly, “are preparing to get married.”

The word ‘shocked’ was not enough to describe how Gu Chengyi and his wife felt.

“That is not gonna happen!” Zhang Wanlian was the first to speak.

“Why?”

“Marriage is not something you can decide alone.” She made herself clear. “A marriage that doesn’t match can’t last!”

Su Tian’s face turned pale.

She felt like she had been splashed with cold water. “Do you think I’m not good enough for him?”

“It’s not about whether you’re good enough or not.” Zhang Wanlian gave her some face. “You and Quan are from two different worlds.”

Seeing her eyes turn red, Gu Quan’s heart ached.

“Mom.” He held Su Tian’s waist and pulled her into his arms. “Aren’t you being too unreasonable?”

“You call telling the truth unreasonable?”

“What era are we in now? Why are you still so old-fashioned? It’s not like she could choose to be born in a rich family.”

Zhang Wanlian was furious with her son.

Gu Chengyi patted her on the back to calm her down and looked much more serious.

He said in a low voice, “Different family backgrounds mean different views on everything. The impact is very significant. Do you understand?”

“Our views are very similar.”

“That’s only for now.”

As soon as Gu Quan met his eyes, his thoughts became chaotic. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

His silence made Su Tian even more afraid.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Uncle, Quan and I are truly in love. In the future…”

“Marriage doesn’t just need love to be maintained. The difference between you two is not only your family background, but also your personal ability and social circle.”

“I’ll try my best to keep up with him. As long as he needs me, I’ll share his burden at any time. Please don’t break us up, okay?”

“Share his burden?” Gu Chengyi sighed at her naivety. “If the Gu Corporation is in danger one day, what do you think you can do to share his burden?”
