Chapter 709: Chapter 301 Gu Tongshu: I’m Broken!_3
"I just impulsively dug a hole, and you already patched it up to the latest version?"
Gu Tongshu was angrily gritting his teeth, along with an uncontrollable shock.
Every time they met, he would raise his regard for Su Huai, but the next time they met, he would find it still wasn’t enough.
Until today, he even felt that this kid Su Huai had a bit of a devilish streak.
Of course, he wouldn’t admit defeat.
"Su..."
Gu tried hard to control his expression, weighing his words carefully, "Here’s the thing, if it’s just a family dinner, then I don’t need to invite those business friends and partners, and we can just have it behind closed doors.
But if we go to a hotel for the meal, whether I notify them or not, people will definitely come to join in on the fun.
Let me put it more bluntly, since it’s not a family dinner, Mr. Zuo would have to come, right? And he would bring his family, his kid might even need you to look after him, you want it lively but also want it quiet, I’m afraid that’s not quite realistic."
Gu’s reasoning was sound and logical, Su Huai believed it was indeed the case, but still felt something was off.
So he made up his mind: you can say whatever you want, I’m not listening.
"Then how about this."
After a brief contemplation, Su Huai proactively suggested another solution.
"We can book a separate room for our class, I’ll pay for it personally, to have a little celebration with my classmates, and not get involved with anything else. If Gugu has time she can drop by and see us, if not, no worries, she can just stick with you, what do you think?"
What is this guy saying?
Gu Tongshu was dumbfounded.
What Su Huai said was clearly being unreasonable, leaving himself completely out of it.
What do you mean ’come and see us if you have time’? Who’s birthday is it, and for whom are we gathering?
Great, when the time comes, Yueyue will turn her head and disappear with you guys, and we can’t even ask or visit, can we?
Gu Tongshu was about to burst into laughter from Su Huai’s audacity, having seen slick operators before but never someone who seemed to be smeared all over with magical oil, slippery as an eel with a single squeeze.
"No, no, that’s not suitable, spending your own money to rent a room for Yueyue’s birthday, that’s treating me too much like an outsider."
Gu Tongshu raised an eyebrow forcefully, making a serious comment, "If word of this gets out, it would be a disgrace for me, Gu Tongshu, afraid I couldn’t lift my head in shame..."
"Look at you, getting anxious again."
Su Huai shook his head, then locked eyes deeply with his easygoing father-in-law, and after 3 seconds, suddenly broke into a smile.
"Then let’s go with your suggestion, the guest follows the host’s lead, I await your arrangement!"
Although he didn’t achieve his most desired result, Su Huai wasn’t in a hurry.
As long as he could confirm that this old rascal was indeed hiding something, that was a huge success.
With Gu Tongshu’s abilities, who could really corner him?
Not realistic.
Now, having made the necessary suggestions, delivered the appropriate warnings, and adopted the right attitude, his overall performance was perfect, and any slight dissatisfaction didn’t even count as a flaw.
He was already prepared mentally, what lay ahead was merely reacting to whatever comes his way.
You think I’d be afraid of playing sly games?
Su Huai’s smile was deep as he pushed the fruit plate forward and stood up.
"Uncle, enjoy the fruit, I’m going to play the piano with Gugu for a while, is that okay?" 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Gu Tongshu’s pupils constricted violently, with thunder and lightning flashing inside.
Is this you asking for permission?!
You’re already standing and you’re still asking if it’s okay, seeing how bright my darling daughter’s expression is, do I dare to stop you?!
Amid his deep-seated anger, the wilful girl excitedly took hold of Puppy’s arm and cheerfully headed for the piano room.
After they left, a loud crack echoed in the living room, not sure who it was, sounded like someone just crushed their own kneecap...
