Chapter 118: Speak Openly
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yun Shu kept talking about how compatible she and Gu Lian were when they were in school. They were jokingly called a golden couple by their classmates. She said that when her leg was injured, Gu Lian helped her. When she didn’t know how to do her homework, Gu Lian taught her. The entire dining table was filled with her voice.
When Yun Shu mentioned that Gu Lian ran very fast and would bring her water, Gu Zi couldn’t take it anymore.
“Alright, why are you saying this now?! My brother and Sister Mo Yu are now publicly recognized as the golden couple, okay? Who do you think you are? Were you not the golden couple in school because no girl was willing to play with you so you stuck to my brother? Which time my brother helped with your homework wasn’t because you didn’t kow a single thing and begged my brother to teach you? My brother explained it more than ten times, to the point that even 1 know how to do it, but you still didn’t know! The water was given because the class fees were used to buy water for the sports meet. As the class president, my brother had no choice but to distribute it to everyone!”
After saying this, Gu Zi seemed to be still angry. He picked up the glass and drank the alcohol in one gulp.
It was unknown if it was to boost his courage or quench his thirst, but he continued, “Previously, my brother felt that rejecting a girl would make them lose face, so he protected you in all aspects. Don’t go too far just because others are gentlemanly, okay?! Open Llife now and see how many people like my brother and Sister Mo Yu! Also, don’t keep mentioning ‘how did you become like this’. You make it sound like my brother is a cripple. My brother can recover in the future! He will live a better life than you!”
Gu Zi’s words reminded everyone present. Su Mei was actually a little worried that Yun Shu and her family would bring up Yun Shu and Gu Lian’s matters during this visit. However, seeing that the Yun family didn’t say anything, she was relieved. After all, there was no need for them to interfere in the relationship between the younger generation.
Even though Yun Shu was talking about those memories before, she thought that it was just the two kids talking about old times. She didn’t expect Yun Shu to have such a hidden meaning.
The Yun family’s parents did not look too good either. They had always been proud of nurturing an outstanding daughter and thought that she would always be that proud little princess. Although she could not be husband and wife with Gu Lian, they could still be friends.
During this visit, the two of them planned to discuss new cooperation projects with the Gu Corporation and let Yun Shu learn some business management skills from Gu Lian.
They thought that Yun Shu no longer had such feelings for Gu Lian. They didn’t expect that their daughter would play tricks in front of everyone, and even almost fooled them.
The expressions of the elders of the Yun and Gu families were all ugly. As for the person involved, Gu Lian, his expression was normal. He even had the time to pick up some vegetables for Mo Yu.
“Don’t just eat meat. Eat some vegetables to replenish your vitamins.” In fact, Gu Lian didn’t listen to what Yun Shu was saying at all. His mind was filled with Mo Yu’s voice.
“Hubby, so you’ve been outstanding since you were young!”
“Hubby is so awesome! Good at sports too!”
“Wow, hubby, did you date when you were in school? I feel like many people would’ve liked you when you were in school!”
“Tsk, does she know how to speak?! What does she mean by your leg has become like this now?! Let’s not listen to her nonsense. You’ll definitely recover.”
Gu Lian was eating while Mo Yu was nagging. He did not listen to what Yun Shu said at all. It was not until Gu Zi slammed the table and stood up that he realized what Yun Shu had said.
“Uncle, Aunt, since it’s come to this, let’s get straight to the point. It should be because of me that Miss Yun Shu mistakenly thinks I have romantic feelings toward her. I’m deeply sorry about this. Please don’t blame her. Secondly, 1 know how long our families have been friends. It’s not appropriate to interrupt our cooperation for such a small matter.”
“However, we can’t use our friendship as an excuse to lower the prices between our businesses. How about this? Our Gu family will give 20% of the profits for the next cooperation. Consider it a little compensation for hurting Miss Yun’s heart.”
Gu Lian tactfully rejected Yun Shu, ruining Yun Shu’s last hope of marrying him.
Then, he proposed a plan to continue working with the Yun family and compensate them. The Yun parents’ expressions finally improved a little. They looked at their useless daughter and felt rather helpless.
“Lastly, I want to say that my future wife will only be Mo Yu. She and I are engaged. At the same time, she took care of me during the three years 1 was in a coma. Logically speaking, it should be her. Therefore, please tell Miss Yun Shu after sobers up and don’t disturb my fiancee in the future..”
