Chapter 731: Chapter 309: The Complex Gu Family and the Simple Wang Lezhi_3
"Time will prove everything, just watch how well I stand by you and that’ll be it."
Su Huai didn’t swear, but his calm voice contained an extremely strong determination, which sounded especially comforting.
Therefore, Gu suddenly cheered up again, her steps becoming a bit more sprightly.
"Time will only prove you’re a big pig’s trotter, you haven’t even won over Chen Nuanhan yet, and when Pei looks at you, her eyes are practically melting, pff!"
"Where, where?"
Su Huai was startled, quickly turning around to look for Pei Shuyu’s figure, only to discover that the obedient girl wasn’t even glancing in this direction at all.
So he became anxious, "How can you lie to me? I thought there was actually such good luck, nearly threw her a coquettish wink... You owe me a big Pei sister!"
"Pah! You’re such a rogue!"
Gu Jiuyue’s cheeks were red, a bit overwhelmed by Su Huai’s sudden lecherous antics. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
But she wasn’t angry; Susu was just fond of teasing, and being able to chat openly like this actually proved his thoughts were pure.
"I..."
Gou Huai was about to defend himself when suddenly Wang Lezhi slid over, blinking and asked, "What are you two chatting about? Why do you look so sweet smiling?"
Su Huai quickly straightened up, "Auntie, Gugu is just praising you."
"Is that so?"
Wang Lezhi clearly wasn’t that easy to fool, "What did she praise me for? Cheating and tricking her into being her plaything?"
"Praising you for being beautiful and kind-hearted."
Su Huai feigned a very serious demeanor, and raised his right hand with fingers outstretched, "Really, I feel the same way!"
"Hee hee hee hee..."
Wang Lezhi covered her mouth and giggled, her eyes squinting into crescent moons.
"I don’t believe you, but I can’t help feeling happy. Su, you really know how to make girls like you. To entrust Yueyue to you, I feel both reassured and worried, what am I to do?"
Su Huai shrugged, making a carefree gesture, "Whatever, I’ll listen to you."
"Nice!"
Wang Lezhi gave a thumbs up, then turned around and pulled Gu Jiuyue into her arms, hugging and stroking her.
"I can’t bother with you anymore, you’re as crafty as a monkey!"
She was a rare type amongst all kinds of women.
Vivacious and optimistic, with a youthful mind, she was worldly-wise without being worldly, had stratagems but didn’t employ them sneakingly, Su Huai had a particularly good impression of her.
Of course, the main reason was—she had always been taking on the pressure for Gu in the background.
Having children is a simple thing, also beneficial for her without any harm, but she still has no children of her own to this day. The only explanation is because of Gu.
For this reason, she must have faced quite a few grievances from her elders.
Wang Yuqing and Cheng LiHua doted on their daughter, but Gu Huatang was not the kind of easy-going personality; it could only be said, Wang Lezhi as the aunt was truly strong.
She bore it all, yet still chuckled and laughed without revealing anything; this meant she not only had love in her heart but also knew how to release that love.
No wonder the Wang sisters could take turns outmaneuvering Gu Tongshu, truly a pair of remarkable women...
Su Huai kept his admiration in his heart, making no showy display, just carelessly mentioned, "The Gu Family is the Gu Family, Old Gu is old Gu, you are you. I’m a man with plenty of thoughts, but I know who is who, you’ll slowly come to trust me..."
This sentence seemed to come out of nowhere, but to the wise, it was profound.
Wang Lezhi’s beautiful eyes brightened, gazing deeply at Su Huai for a moment, then became playful with Gu Jiuyue once again.
Adults don’t believe in promises, adults only watch actions.
Su Huai was confident he could take good care of Gu, but this required time to prove, at the moment, more words were useless.
Circling around, the number of people in the side hall increased.
Su Huai glanced around and noticed many new faces of his age or a bit older, young elites—at least they looked the part, oozing with an elite aura.
So, what was the next procedure?
As Su Huai pondered, Old Gu finally arrived fashionably late.
