Love? The Reborn Me Just Wants to Obtain Rewards

Chapter 730: Chapter 309: The Complicated Gu Family and the Simple Wang Lezhi_2

Su Huai didn’t mind, "There’s nothing shameful in there. If you’re really curious, why not just make it public?"

"It’s okay," Su Huai comforted Gu, confidently said, "My message is on the last page. As long as Gugu agrees, I’m okay any time."

"I disagree."

As a result, Gu put on a stern face right then and there.

Wang Lezhi wasn’t in a hurry; she seemed to be deliberately teasing Gu, smiling mischievously as she tried to make amends.

However, it was then that Gu Huatang spoke up for the first time and began with a reprimand.

"Yueyue! At 20 years old, how can you still be so wilful?"

Yang Yuerong quickly jumped in, scolding, "You old fossil, can’t the kids even play around? You’re more controlling than when you were in charge!"

Gu Huatang ignored her and scolded Wang Lezhi as well, "Lele, you’re not young anymore, constantly lacking seriousness, what kind of example are you setting for the younger ones?"

"Oh..."

Wang Lezhi immediately became obedient, looking a bit scared but actually...

In Su Huai’s perception, her emotions were mostly dismissive and calm.

This family seems a bit complicated, huh?

Old Gu might also be making a display of authority in front of me, right?

Su Huai realized this, his smile slightly fading, but he still chose to initiate conversation rather than confront.

"Uncle Gu? I’ve been wanting to toast him, not sure if it’s convenient today..."

Cheng LiHua quickly said, "What inconvenience could there be? That side’s full of wine lovers, just go over later."

Su Huai shook his head, "No rush, let’s walk around some more."

"Very good!" Cheng LiHua was extremely pleased, "Then let’s walk around. I, along with my mother-in-law want to personally thank the good classmates..."

Yang Yuerong nodded in realization, then turned back to caution her husband, "Go do what you need to do. I’ll chat with the kids and be back soon. Mind your attitude and don’t bring your bad temper home!"

It seemed that although Old Gu might be unreliable, Grandma Yang knew what was up.

However, Su Huai wasn’t a person to be fooled by appearances, he still felt something was off.

With no time to ponder further, he gave Gu a look, accompanying her along with Cheng LiHua, Yang Yuerong, Wang Lezhi, and mingling with their classmates.

Dorm 511 was chatted up first, then the close female friends, followed by general encouragement, a process bearing the beauty of Huaxia’s orderliness.

This wasn’t mere superficiality, being able to quickly interact with 48 classmates and rank them in importance was a testament to one’s capability.

Even the current Su Huai couldn’t manage such effortless execution.

Unable to help himself, Su Huai quietly asked Gu, "What did your grandma used to do?"

"She seemed to have a position in the labor union."

Wow, a leader...

Su Huai smacked his lips then asked, "And your grandfather?"

"Generations in business?" Gu Jiuyue wasn’t sure if this description was accurate, so she added, "Our family was quite significant before the country was founded, but it came down to just my father in his generation."

Su Huai’s expression froze, quickly assessing Gu.

Her eyelids slightly drooped, her face revealing no emotion, but inside she was irritated, frustrated, resigned.

Now with a Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart, Su Huai quickly deduced some things.

No wonder, having known Gu for so long, it was the first time he met her grandparents, and she never even mentioned them in conversation.

Coupled with Yang Yuerong’s genuine warmth towards Wang Lezhi, the answer was clear—

The Gu family, or perhaps specifically the couple Gu Huatang and Yang Yuerong, probably strongly hoped Gu Tongshu would have another child?

It wasn’t that they didn’t love Gu Jiuyue, but compared to their love for the current Gu, they were more eager for a guarantee.

Gu Tongshu’s excessive indulgence of Gu Jiuyue had caused a very real conflict— the vast Gu Corporation was lacking a healthy heir.

For the wealthy families, this was a very serious issue.

Thus, Su Huai deduced, Wang Lezhi definitely hadn’t had children, otherwise Old Gu wouldn’t have seized every opportunity to apply pressure.

Yes, that stance just now was obviously a form of pressure.

Cheng LiHua had also once hinted to Su Huai: Gu’s elders had some disagreements, while she fully supported Su Huai.

Those so-called disagreements, I fear, aren’t outward, but truly a difference in stance.

It all matches.

Su Huai sighed silently, continued in a quieter voice, asking one last question, "Has your aunt always been childless?"

"!!!"

Gu Jiuyue suddenly looked up, her eyes fraught with shock.

She hadn’t expected Su Huai to be so sensitive, hitting right at the deepest scar hidden in her heart.

Yet she still somewhat disbelieved, whispering back, "What all did you guess?"

"That’s not important."

Su Huai quietly squeezed her hand, bragging boldly, "With me here, what Old Gu or whoever, no one can bully you!"

"No one can bully me except you, not even Qianqian, who’s such a good girl, trusts you..."

Gu muttered a sentence, then suddenly realized her slip, quickly changing the subject, "My aunt probably never had children. As for Old Gu having others... probably not?"

She wasn’t certain, yet very certain, a contradiction of mentality rather than true confusion.

Thus, Su Huai thoroughly understood.

"Your family is really complicated, too boring. Why don’t you just hang out with me from now on?"

Gu, annoyed, bumped him, scolding, "I’m a burden wherever I go, be serious and quit scamming me!"
