Chapter 752: Chapter 317: Such Misfortune!_3
Then these people had even given him the credit, the grand Mr. Gu, which was truly embarrassing.
But he just couldn’t explain himself, especially concerning Su Huai, it was awkward no matter how he responded.
"Ah? Su? Uh, he’s just Yueyue’s good friend, but indeed, I do see potential in him, he stands out among his peers..."
While answering, Gu Tongshu felt like vomiting in his mind.
Damn, it disgusted me!
But he had no choice, he couldn’t just not praise him—how could he belittle Su Huai in front of his friends and turn it into a joke?
You hardly fancy someone, and then he gets all cozy with your daughter, what’s that about?
Spoiled rotten to the core?
So Gu Tongshu had to praise Su Huai against his conscience; when others asked, he had to commend.
Wan Fangjiang chuckled, "Truly talented; great at piano, sings well, more handsome than celebrities, he’ll definitely make a big splash if he enters the entertainment industry!"
Mr. Wan’s compliments sounded sincere but carried a hint of setting traps, which the cunning bunch instantly understood.
Being a celebrity, what big achievements could that bring?
What celebrity deserves the Gu Family princess?
But everyone understood the sentiment, trying to pave the way for his son, just human nature.
In fact, many looked unfavorably at Su Huai, those mothers and aunts with sons and nephews the same age as Jiuyue naturally wouldn’t like Su Huai.
If you grab the Gu family princess first, who’s left for my son’s wife?
Gu Tongshu disliked Su Huai even more, yet he had to highlight Su Huai’s accomplishments.
"Hey, what celebrity, that kid started his own business in his freshman year, and now his company is worth about thirty to fifty billion. And I didn’t lift him up - it was all his own doing, right, Zuo?"
Gu Tongshu forced a smile, reluctantly promoting Su Huai’s "achievements," seething with anger inside.
Zuo Zongcai, struggling to contain his laughter, nodded with an odd expression, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you didn’t help; it was all from scamming and tricking from you..."
Damn!
Can we have a normal conversation now?
Fires of fury sparked in Gu Tongshu’s eyes as he stared at Zuo Zongcai, wishing he had cumin chili powder to sprinkle on him and cook him done.
But the spectators didn’t care about these, hearing Zuo Zongcai’s exposé, their eyes widened, thrilled as if monkeys in a melon patch.
"Oh, is there a story here?"
"Mr. Gu, Gu, that was out of line~~~"
"Exactly, exactly, you help on one side and deny on the other, what, afraid we’re all eyeing your good son-in-law?"
"That kid is handsome, he and Yueyue are just too perfect together, their children, I can’t even imagine how beautiful they’ll be!"
Those on good terms teased away, and those not just smiled without speaking, agitating Gu Tongshu enough to explode.
Two relatives from Yang Yuerong’s side instantly turned into gossips.
"We better go see for ourselves since our Gu is hiding him so well!"
"Yes, let’s go together! Have a good look at the good son-in-law our Gu has prepared for so long, and see what’s going on~~~"
The two aunts clung to Yang Yuerong, insisting on checking out Su Huai.
Actually, Yang Yuerong hadn’t accepted this grandson-in-law, but it was all in good fun, no need to be a killjoy.
This completely overwhelmed Gu Tongshu.
He couldn’t stop them, couldn’t yell at them, and couldn’t explain without making mistakes, what now?
Rarely at a loss for action, Gu Tongshu seethed internally—
Spicy neighbors, truly damn annoying!

It seems everyone still agrees, as long as it’s stable domestically, it shouldn’t be a problem.
