Chapter 347 A pair made in heaven
In the evening, against the backdrop of the setting sun, the Gu family's old house showed a slight sense of antiquity, and the baptism of time gave the villa a solemn and elegant charm.
At six o'clock sharp, the car stopped in front of the villa on time.
The black carved gate slowly opened, and Gu Yanze drove into the courtyard with fresh grass.
In the car, Zhou Mu'an was sitting on the co-pilot, looking at the lawn full of flowers and plants outside the car window.
"It's here so soon." She said lazily, covering her mouth and yawning.
She dozed off on the way until Gu Yanze woke her up.
The two of them came to the old house for dinner just to deal with their family members, and she would inevitably feel bored after the task.
It would be great if I went to Zhong's house for dinner...
Zhou Mu'an thought to himself with little interest, and the thought of having to play with Gu Yanze all night gave him a headache.
The car stopped slowly, and Gu Yanze asked softly while unfastening his seat belt: "By the way, just now you said you were with Xiaoqing, does she know how she reacts to this matter?"
Guessing that Gu Yanze was worried that Zhong Qing would be jealous, Zhou Mu'an smiled slyly, deliberately making him nervous.
"Of course, and the reaction was very strong. Xiaoqing said that if you take other girls home for dinner, if you don't buy a gift and apologize to her, she will ignore you again!"
Seeing Zhou Mu'an's serious report, Gu Yanze, who is straightforward in terms of feelings, really believed it.
"Xiaoqing really said that? Is she very unhappy?" Gu Yanze asked anxiously.
Zhou Mu'an found that he was so easily fooled, and really couldn't bear to continue making fun of such an honest person.
"I'm talking nonsense. Xiaoqing is a well-educated girl. Does she have to be jealous about such a thing?"
Hearing this, the stone hanging on Gu Yanze's heart finally fell to the ground, he got out of the car with confidence, took Zhou Mu'an's arm and walked up the steps side by side.
Since it is necessary to act on the spot, these details that express intimacy are naturally indispensable.
The two walked into the Gu family's villa and whispered a few words from time to time, which showed their close relationship.
When she came to the living room, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen not far away. Sitting on the sofa, Huang Wanying regarded herself as the hostess of the Gu family, and immediately got up to greet her warmly.
"Aze, Mu An, why did you come here? Dinner is about to start!"
Huang Wanying greeted her with a smile, then turned her head and told the nanny at home: "Go and call the master down, and just say that the young master is back."
Gu Yanze never paid much attention to Huang Wanying, but responded in a dull tone: "Well, the company is busy today."
But Zhou Mu'an's personality is clear to everyone who knows her, so naturally she can't be cold-faced and ignore people anytime and anywhere like Gu Yanze.
"Auntie, you're welcome. You can sit on the sofa first. Aze and I will wash our hands and come over to chat with you."
On such occasions, Zhou Mu'an knew the basics of the world, and he helped Huang Wanying back to the sofa with some pleasantries.
Seeing her kind tone, Huang Wanying secretly rejoiced, thinking that she had successfully secured this future daughter-in-law, and now only the two of them had to complete the two important ceremonies of engagement and marriage.
"You're right, this is your home, don't be too cautious when you come back, just do whatever you want." Huang Wanying echoed happily.
Then the two went to the bathroom one after the other, and Zhou Muan turned on the faucet, intentionally letting the sound of rushing water cover their conversation.
"Your stepmother seems to like me a lot? It seems that she has identified me as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family." Zhou Mu'an said with deep meaning.
But Gu Yanze didn't care, and responded coldly with the corners of his lips curled up: "Whatever she thinks, after a while, she will be happy for nothing."
Looking at his gloomy face, Zhou Mu'an understood that the relationship between Gu Yanze and Huang Wanying was not good, so naturally he could understand him.
After washing her hands, she patted Gu Yanze's shoulder: "Okay, you should be happy when you come back, at least you can make your father happy."
"Well, you go out first." Gu Yanze's face remained unchanged.
Not long after the meal was officially started, the family sat at the dining table, maintaining a superficial harmony with each other.
Although Gu Tingsheng has handed over the company to his son, he is always the head of the family in this family.
"Ah Ze, is there anything wrong with the company recently?" Gu Tingsheng randomly picked up a topic.
In the old house, Gu Yanze didn't like to talk at all times, and he always liked to eat in silence at the dining table.
Hearing his father's question, he stopped his hands and responded indifferently: "No problem, everything is in order."
"That's good, that's good!"
Faced with his son's love and indifference, Gu Tingsheng had some criticisms, but he was not easy to speak harshly in front of Zhou Mu'an.
He picked up the serving chopsticks in the middle of the dining table, picked up a piece of salt and pepper pork ribs and put them in Zhou Mu'an's rice bowl, with the kindness of an elder in his tone.
"Mu An, you are tall and thin, you should eat more, don't lose weight blindly like other young people."
Huang Wanying seized the opportunity to interject, and followed Gu Tingsheng's lead and said, "Yes, girls are lucky if they are plump, and it's also good for having children in the future."
After all, she looked at Zhou Mu'an meaningfully, obviously implying that she would marry in early and have a son with the Gu family.
How could Zhou Mu'an not understand, her cheeks were slightly red, and she pretended to be shy and whispered: "Aunt...you and uncle should eat more too."
Realizing that Zhou Mu'an was starting to feel embarrassed because of this sentence, both husband and wife felt that she recognized Gu Yanze very much and was willing to marry into Gu's family as a daughter-in-law.
But on the other hand, Gu Tingsheng knew that his son had his own heart, so he maintained his relationship with Zhou Mu'an on the surface, but never broke up with Zhong Qing secretly.
After the dinner was over, Huang Wanying saw how well-matched the two were, and couldn't help but praise Gu Tingsheng: "Old Gu, look at how suitable they are standing together, they are simply a match made in heaven."
Gu Tingsheng smiled gently and nodded approvingly: "Yes, it's a pity that late marriage is popular among young people now. I'm at Ze's age, and his mother has already given birth to him."
Taking advantage of the conversation, Huang Wanying hoped that the Gu family and the Zhou family would realize their marriage soon, so she boldly put forward her own suggestion.
"Old Gu, why don't we persuade them to get engaged early today, so that you and I can feel at ease."
Of course, Gu Tingsheng had no objection to this, and got up from the sofa and walked to the door.
Seeing Gu Yanze and Zhou Mu'an walking and chatting in the courtyard, he raised his voice and called to the two of them: "Come in first, I have something to ask for your opinion."
At this time, Zhou Mu'an was discussing the issue of love with Gu Yanze, and when Gu Tingsheng came out to ask them to stop the conversation.
When the two returned to the living room, Huang Wanying immediately pulled Zhou Mu'an to sit in front of the sofa and chatted, while Gu Tingsheng called his son upstairs to the study.
The husband and wife act separately, but the purpose is the same, that is to do psychological work for the two and urge them to get engaged as soon as possible.
Here, Huang Wanying spoke softly at Zhou Mu'an, but Gu Tingsheng had the completely opposite attitude.
After closing the door of the study, Gu Tingsheng got straight to the point: "Ah Ze, you and Mu An seem to have a very good relationship now, you don't think there is anyone else in your heart, right?"
Gu Yanze knew that there would be nothing else to do if his father dragged him to talk privately, so he responded vaguely: "It's not important, anyway, I've already brought Zhou Mu'an home for dinner."
Hearing his son's attitude, Gu Tingsheng felt very uncomfortable, knowing that Gu Yanze had not confessed his feelings to himself.
"What do you mean you have brought her home for dinner?" Gu Tingsheng asked with a displeased face.
After finishing speaking, he went to the desk and sat down, thinking that this matter cannot be resolved with a strong attitude, so he calmly waved to Gu Yanze.
"Aze, you go and sit over there first, Dad wants to have a good talk with you tonight."
Hearing his father's relaxed tone, Gu Yanze still stubbornly stood there in order to express that he did not want to submit.
After a pause, he laughed at himself and said, "Dad, I know what you want to talk to me, but you also know what I think in your heart."
Finding that his son's attitude hadn't changed much from before, Gu Tingsheng frowned and asked, "So, you're still in a relationship with Zhong Qing?"
Gu Yanze did not deny it, but emphasized emphatically: "The relationship between us is not just a relationship between a man and a woman. Love is my soul mate. Maybe marriage can be dominated by reality, but no one can change where my heart belongs!"
These words were loud and loud, as if Gu Yanze was confessing to Zhong Ai in the air.
Seeing that his son was still obsessed with obsession, Gu Tingsheng's face became more and more gloomy.
After a few seconds of silence, he chose to make a compromise, and told him in another way: "Ah Ze, how about this, you pretend that your father will not interfere, but for the sake of the Gu family, I hope you can get engaged to Zhou Mu'an as soon as possible."
After the words fell, Gu Yanze kept a cold face and did not speak.
In fact, he didn't have anything to say, he couldn't tell Gu Tingsheng that the reunion dinner tonight was just a joint play with Zhou Mu'an.
Gu Tingsheng didn't want to procrastinate any longer. Watching his son's lips tightened, he continued to talk to himself: "That's the way it is. As my son, you shoulder the responsibility of strengthening the family business. Besides, Zhou Mu'an also likes you very much. love life will become more and more tacit."
Hearing that his father had been forcing him to marry the Zhou family, Gu Yanze neither wanted to tell the truth nor wanted his ears to continue being abused.
"Understood, Dad, can I leave the study now?" Gu Yanze was a little impatient.
Seeing that he couldn't wait to leave, Gu Tingsheng quickly called him back: "Wait, you haven't promised me when to get engaged to Zhou Mu'an?"
His father's stubbornness made Gu Yanze completely impatient. He was a cold-hearted person, and he didn't like wearing a mask in front of his relatives.
"I'm sorry, I can't promise you this matter in my next life!"
Expressing his position, Gu Yanze had no intention of talking further, turned around and walked towards the door of the study.
There was no exaggeration in his reply just now. Gu Yanze thought more than once that if there was a next life, he would still choose Zhongqing to grow old with him.
