chapter 46

Mrs. Gu heard her son entering the door and hurriedly pretended to watch TV intently. Gu Yingjie was about to go upstairs, saw his mother watching TV, and thought he should sit with her. It’s a good idea to go home and spend some time with his mother to improve his chances.

Mrs. Gu was going to ignore him saying nothing, but after a while she couldn’t resist and said coolly, “You’re back so early?”

“Yes.” Gu Yingjie smiled and said.

Mrs. Gu did not speak again, wanting to wait for her son to speak, but it turned out that Gu Yingjie also did not speak. He did not report to her about meeting the female’s parents today. Mrs. Gu was a little upset. He’s back so early. It seems he didn’t sit at his family’s house for long. Did it not work out? It’s impossible. Her Ah Jie is so good, tall, handsome, talented and considerate, his Qin Wenyi’s daughter is like that. Can he dislike Ah Jie?

She heard about Qin Yufei cutting Gu Yingjie’s toenails from Gu Yinghui. And although Mrs. Gu couldn’t imagine that image, she also had a slightly better impression of Qin Yufei. She didn’t think Qin Yufei was a suitable candidate for her daughter-in-law. But, although the son has not yet said he wants to get married, but apparently things have gone to a rather critical, which has never happened before, so she is particularly concerned.

Mrs. Gu was hesitant to ask a few questions, but she felt ashamed, so after thinking about it, she first asked her son, “I asked the kitchen to prepare a silver fungus and lotus seed soup, do you want to have a bowl?”

Gu Yingjie hurriedly shook his head: “No, no, I ate too much at Yufei’s house and my stomach is still uncomfortable.” While saying that, he also rubbed his stomach.

Mrs. Gu’s face blackened. Didn’t he go to meet her parents? How can you eat too much? So much that his stomach felt uncomfortable? Whose family education is this? Where are his manners? Where is the etiquette? Mrs. Gu’s anger was really jammed in her heart. Her son couldn’t have eaten too much and been disliked by others, so they sent him back early, right?

“What did Qin Wenyi say?” She finally couldn’t help but ask.

“Did not say anything, just chatting about family matters. Ah, Yufei’s mother asked me to greet you guys on her behalf.” Gu Yingjie smiled. “It’s not like I’m going to propose. I’m just visiting as a boyfriend to open up our relationship with our parents. In fact, our two families are very familiar with each other, but the status is different, politely go to the house to meet, to confirm the relationship. What did you think would happen?”

“Hmm.” Mrs. Gu said in her heart that she wouldn’t ask if she knew it earlier. Isn’t this setting herself up again? The son said in a roundabout way that she did not agree to meet Qin Yufei was rude, and it looks like she made a fuss, and it was not about marriage, just a meeting. “All right, you go back to your room and take a shower and rest. You still have to work tomorrow.” Mrs. Gu became annoyed and drove her son away.

“Okay, then I’m going upstairs.” Gu Yingjie kissed his mother and went back to his room. When he passed by the study, he turned in to say hello to Gu Wenguang, who had heard his wife recite a few words about Qin Yufei, and asked Gu Yingjie a few questions in passing. He is not opposed to this, the marriage with Yongkai is beneficial to Huade. If his son is happy, he is happy to see it.

Gu Yingjie went to his room, took a shower and came out to see that the housekeeper had already put lemonade on his desk, and he gulped it down several times. Sitting on a chair while wiping his hair and thinking about meeting the parents today, in fact, those words he said to his mother were true. He was a little nervous, not knowing what Qin Wenyi thought of him.

Gu Yingjie thought about it and opened the computer to look at Mingde’s business reports and study the research industry information. Anyway, it is important for a man to work harder in his career; he wants to perform better in front of Qin Wenyi. He wants to have more future with Qin Yufei. There are some responsibilities that he must take. He knows he has to have mental preparation, but also has to have this capability.

When Gu Yingjie thought so, he suddenly became very energetic. He worked for a while and was concentrating on it when the phone rang. He thought it was Qin Yufei and was smiling and wanted to say she was really sticky, but picked up the phone and it was Sun Yian.

Sun Yian was playing with some friends at King Club and called to ask Gu Yingjie if he wanted to go over. Gu Yingjie looked at the time. It was a little late, and he had only read half of the information, so he said he would not go, but another day. Sun Yian did not force it, hung up after a few words.

As soon as Sun Yian hung up the phone, Sun Yixue, who was beside him, asked him, “How is it? James didn’t have time?”

“He said he didn’t want to go out. Let’s do it another day.” Sun Yian knew what his sister was thinking and asked her, “What’s your situation now? Didn’t you say you confessed your love to James last time, and he didn’t accept?”

“Yes, he didn’t accept. But the man and woman are unmarried, and we are both single, so who knows what the result will be until the end?”

“So determined, huh?” Sun Yian laughed at his sister. “Then you should go after him yourself! Always follow me, always want to take advantage of our party to meet with him. This is not a solution. And my friends have laughed at me. I have to take my sister with me all day long. It’s not fun.”

“Hmph, what’s wrong with taking me with you? Do you want to do something bad?”

“No, I just think you are not efficient.”

“You do not understand. Before, I confessed, and he rejected me. If I am too active to chase him, one, I will lose face, losing value. Second, will also cause him to resent. He will think, didn’t I make it clear? How can you not understand it? So I can not run after him, as long as there are some reasonable opportunities, occasionally popped up in front of him, and increase some presence, not too close, but not too far away, so he will feel comfortable getting along, over time, the feelings silently deepen, he discovered my well-being, and then I turned to attack in one fell swoop. This is the right way.”

Sun Yian puff laugh: “Did you studied psychology of love? Eighteen moves to chase men?”

“Anyway, wait and see. I like him. I will definitely get him.”

Sun Yian sipped his wine: “Don’t say brother won’t help you, I met Abby the other day, one of James’s ex-girlfriends, she said she wanted to get back together with James, she came to ask me about it.”

“One should not go back to past experience.” That’s what she said, but Sun Yixue was still a little nervous and asked, “What did she ask about?”

“She said James told her he had a girlfriend now, and she asked if it was true.”

“A girlfriend? He lied to her, right?”

“Actually, it’s quite possible when you think about it… He’s been spending less time with us. It fits the hypothesis of being in a secret relationship.”

Sun Yixue froze, and then said unhappily, “I don’t believe it. If you are in love, you are. If you are not, why do you need to hiding it? The woman wants to get back together. James does not want to, so use this as an excuse to reject her. When I confessed my love to James, he didn’t say he had a girlfriend.”

“Your time is different from her time, and James can’t never have a girlfriend, right? Although I think it is strange, he should not hide it from us if he has a girlfriend, but he will not use this to lie to Abby. There is no need. I tell you, I think he really did. I asked Jason. He laughed and said, let me ask James myself.”

“Right, Jason didn’t say James had a girlfriend, either.” Anyway, Sun Yixue just thought there wouldn’t be one.

“No, if Jason knew there was none, he would have just said no, so mysteriously let me ask myself. It must be true, but I don’t know what reason he didn’t reveal it.”

“You think too much. Can his girlfriend have three heads and six arms so he doesn’t dare to make it public? It must be none. Jason, this person is cheap. Make fun of you. It just so happens James rejected that Abby with this excuse, that’s all.”

“Okay, okay, whatever you say. Anyway, I tell you, I don’t object if you want to chase James, and I think it’s good if you guys can fall in love, but if he really has a girlfriend, stay out of it. Everyone’s face will not look good when that happens. Anyway, I’ll tell you about the situation. You look at it yourself.”

Sun Yixue pouted. Sun Yian rubbed her head.

While the Sun Yian siblings were talking, Gu Yingjie was answering a phone call from Abby.

Abby was sobbing on the phone, saying that she had moved to a small apartment by herself, and that the man had taken over her house, and she didn’t want to go home, and going back every day was like a disaster. The man didn’t want to break up, and she didn’t know what to do.

Gu Yingjie sighs. He knows Abby’s parents are abroad. She is not close with other relatives and they are mostly in other cities. The people she interacts with here are mainly young friends. “Why don’t you go abroad for a vacation and stay at your parents’ place for a while?”

“I have a job too. I can’t just leave it behind. And my parents are getting a divorce, my dad has someone else out there.” Abby’s voice was lonely and despondent, “I just had a phone call with my mom and I’m falling apart, James, I don’t know who else to talk to, I don’t know who else to call.”

Gu Yingjie advised her, “How about those friends of yours, are there any that can accompany you on a vacation, just take a few days off and go out for a break?”

“I don’t want to go. Why should I go? It’s that cheap man who should go. Why am I blind!” Abby finally couldn’t hold back and let out a loud cry.

Abby’s words made him think of Qin Yufei, who had also met this kind of person, and she had also cried in such pain. He felt very sad for Abby.

“James, will you come and stay with me?”

“No.”

“Please.” Abby broke down in tears. “We’re still friends, aren’t we? I’m not asking to get back together, okay? I just want someone to spend time with me. Please.”

Gu Yingjie was very soft-hearted, really soft-hearted, and almost wanted to say yes for a moment in her sobs. But he restrained himself in time. “I’m sorry, Abby. we’re friends, but I really can’t go over there.” If his girlfriend was someone like Yin Ting, he thought he would feel comfortable to go, but it was Qin Yufei, the girl who had also been hurt, who was so sensitive to such things, what would she think if she knew he went to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment to comfort her and keep her company? He was unwilling to comfort someone else and when he turned his head, he found that the person he really loved was dropping tears.

Abby sobbed. “Why is this happening, James? Why? You didn’t use to be so cruel. Why have you changed, too? Everyone has changed.”

“Because we met different people, Abby. No one is constant, it just depends on what they become. I can’t be there for you, but I can be here to talk to you. I can’t go over there with you, but I can talk to you here, and it would be the same.”

Qin Yufei pestered her mother at home for a long time. Mrs. Qin asked her about her affair with Gu Yingjie. Then she kept asking, “What do you think of him? He’s great, right? He treats me very well.”

Mrs. Qin hugged her daughter and laughed. “Look at you. How dare I say he’s no good?”

Qin Yufei blushed, but she couldn’t help but purse her lips and laugh.

After pestering her mother, Qin Yufei went back to her room to call Gu Yingjie. But the phone is busy, she didn’t mind, called again in five minutes, still busy, she put the phone to take a shower. After taking a shower, she dialed his phone again, but it was still busy.

“What the hell are you doing, Young Master Gu.” Qin Yufei said to herself, put the phone aside to blow-dry hair and apply lotion. After finishing up, she went to bed with her phone and dialed Gu Yingjie’s number again.

This time, it still didn’t get through.

Qin Yufei looked at the phone with a scowl: “Gu Yingjie students, are you contacting your ex-girlfriend? Ah, how can it be so long? Hum, if I catch you, I’ll break your legs.” She bared her teeth and practiced a fierce expression. Then she was amused by herself. Giggled for a while and wondered what was so funny. She thought about calling him back later, and she ended up falling asleep.
