Chapter 790: Chapter 332: The Inextricably Linked Future
Actually, today was no longer the Gu Family’s New Year’s family banquet, but rather the day to visit their parents’ home.
Gu Tongshu, bringing along Wang Lezhi, returned to his in-laws’ residence at the Capital Normal University Family Building. When Cheng LiHua found out that Yueyue and Su Huai were together, she took the initiative to invite Su Huai over.
If it was her idea, then why did Gu Tongshu have to make the call?
Actually, aside from the old man Wang Yuqing, no one wanted to see them always fighting. It would be so lovely if they just got along and took good care of Yueyue together~~~
Unfortunately, the conflict between the father-in-law and the blonde could not be eased until their daughter was almost 30 and nearly unable to marry off.
Their mutual animosity increased as they got older.
How old is Gu Jiuyue now?
That’s where the problem lay.
Gou Huai sat in Gu Tongshu’s Bentley, driven by Wu to the building, whereupon they didn’t follow him upstairs but went next door instead.
—Gu Tongshu had specially bought an apartment in the same building to accommodate Gu’s logistics team.
Gou Huai lagged behind, pushing Gu’s back to save her some energy.
Gu giggled and playfully scolded, "I’m not that weak! It’s only the second floor, come on!"
Then Gou Huai changed his tone to teasing, "Who makes a princess walk by herself? It’s only because conditions don’t allow it; otherwise, I should carry you up the stairs, showcasing a pristine sole~~~"
Gu was particularly happy to be cajoled and wanted to reward Su Huai.
But after thinking it over, lacking experience, she didn’t know how to reward him, so she again resorted to spending money.
"Hey, I see you’re missing a service car; driving a sports car in the dead of winter isn’t ideal anymore; why don’t you take my family’s Rolls-Royce?"
Su Huai actually needed a government vehicle as the best one Xingyu had was just a 7-seater Mercedes for receptions, which was a bit low-end for hostng the boss.
However, before he could respond, the anti-theft door on the second floor swung open.
Gu, with a dark face, squeezed out words between his teeth—
"That’s my ride!"
Gu Jiuyue wasn’t the least bit guilty, casually replying, "You have so many cars in Magic Capital and Jinling, right? You hardly come here anyway..."
Gu Tongshu was extremely aggrieved, "But this is the only one I have here!"
"Well, buy another one then!"
Gu Jiuyue blurted out a simple solution, "Get a new car, okay? Susu urgently needs it, can’t wait for the ordering process."
"I..."
Gu Tongshu was so angry he felt like spitting blood, glaring fiercely at Su Huai.
Originally, Su Huai wanted to refuse; he wasn’t the type to exploit his friends mercilessly, but provoked by Gu’s glare, he couldn’t stand it anymore.
Flashing a mischievous smile and winking at his good father-in-law, he went along with it, "Then thank you for your kindness, Uncle Gu, please give me a bank card number, and I’ll transfer the money for the car to you; consider the new car a tribute from me."
This speech, upon first hearing, seemed damn reasonable, resulting in Gu Tongshu almost passing out from rage.
Have I, Gu Tongshu, ever begged you for such a trifle?
What I’m lacking is respect!
How weird, how does this guy always manage to hit my sore spots?
Gu Tongshu was perplexed, utterly bewildered, and could only conclude that Su Huai was his natural nemesis.
Gou Huai walked past the ominous Lord Taishan and entered the house to change shoes, then received a completely different reception.
When Wang Lezhi saw him, her enthusiasm and happiness bubbled over, floating over like a cloud and twirling in front of him.
"How do you like it, Su? Do I look good in this horse-skirt outfit?"
Su Huai glanced up and saw, oh boy, Wang Lezhi was seriously treating his gift like everyday wear!
The plan was to wear it only once, but today it was still welded to her.
But... it indeed looked good.
Her figure closely resembled Gu’s, both around 1.65 meters tall with slender waists and long legs, so the clothes custom-tailored for Gu fitted her without any dissonance.
"It looks good, Aunt Le."
Su Huai, ever the charmer, knew how to flatter both the young and the old.
"You and Gugu, one with a cool young aura and one bright and cheerful, both serve as the best clothes hangers, looking just like sisters. My fault, I should have ordered two pieces; wearing them together would certainly make each other shine."
Wang Lezhi, completely charmed, patted Su Huai’s shoulder hard, "Good kid, you have taste, know how to appreciate! Auntie sure didn’t misjudge you."
Old Gu’s face turned green, and he grimaced fiercely at Puppy.
"You think you’ve outshone me! I’ve already arranged a customization for Lezhi, and Teacher Zhou isn’t only known to you!"
Yo, yo, yo, how scary!
Su Huai didn’t compete head-on, looked pitifully back, and glanced at Gu Jiuyue.
His eyes, carrying the natural flair of an award-winning actor, perfectly captured the feel of a tragically oppressed and belittled hero from a drama.
Thus, Gu felt terribly sorry for him.
"Mr. Gu! Can you not be so imposing at home? Susu isn’t your subordinate!"
"I..."
Gu Tongshu’s vision darkened, his fury reigniting.
But sadly, this fire could only burn inside his lungs.
Looking around, first at Su Huai... Puppy, don’t be smug!
Then at his wife... Wang Lezhi, that’s enough! Laughing so freely, do you think I’m not embarrassed enough?
And at his precious daughter... Hiss, is she really angered?
Old Gu panicked a lot, so when he saw his mother-in-law just coming out of the kitchen, he rushed over.
"Mom, leave that be, I’ll do it!"
Cheng LiHua, utterly baffled, watched her suddenly enthusiastic son-in-law, confusedly handing over the dish.
