Chapter 1841: Chapter 1841: Rising Star (43)
Father Gu came to talk to Gu Yu that night; there was a bit of estrangement between the father and son.
Gu Yu actually hadn’t seen Father Gu for a long time either. When was the last time... seemed like when he got injured.
Ever since he was little, his parents only had demands for him.
They demanded what he should achieve, but rarely truly cared about him.
Now the two of them were sitting together, but it felt like there was a Chu River and Han Border between them.
"Have you really thought this through?" Father Gu finished a cigarette. "That Qin girl won’t be any help to your career in the future."
The Qin Family was technically marrying up into the Gu Family; if it hadn’t been for Old Madam Gu back then, none of them would have agreed to the engagement.
They’d thought it was just an engagement; they were still young, they could talk about it later.
Who knew it would turn into this situation now.
Gu Yu asked, "Then who do you think I should marry so it would help me?"
"Qiao Wei from the Qiao Family has always liked you..."
"Dad, am I a commodity?"
"What are you talking about?" Father Gu frowned. "I’m thinking about your future. Weren’t you the one who didn’t like that Qin girl before?"
"Thank you for considering so much for me." Gu Yu’s attitude was very polite. "She and I have already gotten the marriage certificate, and I don’t plan to switch to a different one, so please do me the favor of attending my wedding."
After speaking, Gu Yu stood up and left.
Father Gu: "..."
-
Father Gu and Mother Gu weren’t very agreeable to it, but since both Gu Yu and Old Madam Gu had no objections, their opinions became a lot less important.
The wedding was held at the end of June.
Qin Parents, as the bride’s parents, naturally had to attend.
Chuzheng was in the room getting her makeup changed. Madam Qin stood to the side watching, and only after the makeup artist left did she speak up: "Do you know your brother wants to become a professional esports player?"
"No."
Madam Qin frowned. "You really don’t know?"
"Why would I know?" Chuzheng found it baffling.
"Talk some sense into him." Madam Qin said, "The Qin Family has to be passed down to him in the future. He’s going to mess around with this stuff now; it’ll do him no good."
The Qin Family might dote on Qin Chuzhao, but his path for the future was already laid out for him.
After all, he was the Qin heir.
In the original host’s impression, although Qin Chuzhao was favored, he rarely rebelled against Qin Parents. He was always obediently doing what they told him.
Now this bargain little brother was pretty impressive, huh.
Chuzheng’s face was cold and detached. "He’s your son. What good would my words do?" Your son, your problem.
"Qin Chuzheng, that’s your brother. You want to watch him degenerate?"
Chuzheng: "Madam Qin, if you don’t want to attend my wedding, please leave."
"..."
Madam Qin’s face turned red. She couldn’t stay, couldn’t leave, and just stood there stiffly.
The wedding was arranged by Old Madam Gu. Neither Chuzheng nor Gu Yu liked trouble, so they didn’t get involved.
No one knew where Old Madam Gu found the team, but the design was incredibly dreamy... the girly kind of dreamy.
"I want a wedding like this too."
"You’re dreaming, right? Look whose wedding this is—do you know how much this costs? Just those flowers alone were supposedly all air-freighted in early this morning."
"Qin Chuzheng is way too blessed."
Quite a few women were envious and jealous. Who doesn’t want a wedding like this?
But for the people actually involved, it was just exhausting.
Chuzheng finished all the procedures and only wanted to change clothes, then find somewhere to lie down.
Too bad there were still so many people afterward. There was no way she could rest; she had to follow Gu Yu around greeting guests.
After the wedding, Madam Qin still wanted to talk to Chuzheng about Qin Chuzhao.
Her daughter’s wedding didn’t concern her at all; instead she was worried about her son. Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered with her and slipped away directly.
Chuzheng sat in the car, scrolling through her phone.
Today’s wedding had already made the hot search. There were videos and photos taken by people there.
Underneath, some fans were wailing, and some were sending blessings.
[Excuse me, what kind of next-level wedding is this, it’s impossible to even be jealous okay!]
[Husband is completely someone else’s husband now. Can Little Feathers still have names?]
[Why don’t we... climb the wall then? Miss Qin is pretty good too. That way, technically, we’re still our husband’s.]
[You guys really are little smartasses.]
[How is it that our Miss just got married? I only just fell into this pit!!]
"What are you looking at?" Gu Yu got into the backseat and saw Chuzheng scrolling very intently, so he asked.
"You."
Gu Yu frowned. Chuzheng turned her phone toward him; on the screen was his photo.
She really was looking at him.
Gu Yu looked away and said dryly, "I’m right here in person. Why are you looking at a photo?"
"The photo looks good." Chuzheng said with an honest face.
"I don’t look good?" Wasn’t the person in the photo him?!
"You..." Chuzheng sized him up for a moment, then suddenly leaned in and whispered something in his ear.
"Qin Chuzheng, what the hell are you thinking about!" Gu Yu was both angry and embarrassed.
Chuzheng gave him a kiss on the face, sat back as if nothing had happened, and continued scrolling on her phone.
Gu Yu: "..."
-
After the wedding, life for Chuzheng and Gu Yu wasn’t much different from before.
Chuzheng filmed, Gu Yu was busy with the company. Occasionally they came back to the villa; it was like they’d made an appointment—one would get back just as the other arrived.
When the Butler overheard them, he realized they hadn’t arranged anything at all.
The Butler really couldn’t understand this couple’s relationship. He always felt like they could start fighting at any time... especially sir.
And every time, sir was so awkward. Clearly wanting to be good to ma’am, but he had to go round and round finding excuses. When ma’am didn’t get it, he’d be mad at himself for ages.
He really didn’t understand young people these days.
-
Afterward, Madam Qin came looking for Chuzheng several more times.
All to get her to talk sense into Qin Chuzhao.
It wasn’t like Qin Chuzhao didn’t have a temper. Once he got stubborn, they couldn’t do anything.
But at this point, Qin Chuzhao still listened to his sister, so Madam Qin came to the door for Chuzheng.
There was no way Chuzheng was going to bother with this.
If Qin Chuzhao wanted to take that path, that was his own choice. How could she possibly try to talk him out of it?
Besides, she’d asked Qin Chuzhao about it afterward, and from the way he talked, he had no intention of giving up at all.
Over this matter, Qin Parents were so angry they were practically about to get a brain hemorrhage.
Unfortunately, no matter what they did, they couldn’t stop Qin Chuzhao.
In the end, Qin Chuzhao just directly ran away from home.
Every effect has its cause; the Qin Family’s karmic retribution was Qin Chuzhao.
"When are you going back?" Chuzheng looked at the bargain little brother lying on the sofa playing games; whichever way she looked at him, he annoyed her.
Run away from home, and the place you run away to is her place.
"Sis, are you kicking me out?" Qin Chuzhao immediately looked aggrieved.
"Madam Qin calls me every day. It’s annoying."
"..." Qin Chuzhao looked to Gu Yu sitting beside him. "Brother-in-law~"
Gu Yu looked up and, as the brother-in-law, said, "If he likes staying here, just let him. The house is big anyway."
Chuzheng: "..."
Chuzheng held herself back, walked over to Qin Chuzhao’s side. "Didn’t you want to go pro?"
"Mm mm mm." Qin Chuzhao nodded like a pecking chick.
Chuzheng threw money at acquiring a club, stuffed Qin Chuzhao in there, and let him play however he wanted—as long as he didn’t run back to her place.
Qin Chuzhao was so moved he was in tears. "Sis, you’re so good."
"If you think I’m good, then stop running over here." If you’d stop disturbing me and my Good Person Card, I’d really thank you!
