Su Ran and Ning Xi each had their own thoughts and didn't speak along the way, nor did they notice that the other had their own thoughts.
Su Ran called Han Dong after she got home.
"Han Dong, I met Mr. Gu today."
"Are you going to see Mr. Gu?" Han Dong couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Well, the old man is sick and in the hospital, and I said I would go on your behalf."
"Oh, you should go and see. You and Grandpa..." Han Dong wanted to ask Su Ran if she had mentioned her mother to Grandpa Gu.
"I did say it, but I didn't explain it in detail. Mr. Gu is very smart. He should be able to sense that something is wrong."
"What did you say?"
Su Ran told Han Dong everything about her conversation with Mr. Gu.
Han Dong pondered and said, "The old man has always loved me and treated me well. I thought it was because of my father's face. I didn't expect that he was such a kind person. Besides, the old man knew about your mother's existence and felt regretful. Ranran, I think you are right to remind the old man. As long as the old man has doubts in his heart, he will definitely check it out."
"Yeah, that's what I thought, so I said it boldly."
"It's okay, just say it. I think if the old man goes to investigate, he will be able to find out the truth. I'm still investigating here, too. Don't worry, this matter will get to the bottom of it." Han Dong comforted her. He could tell that Su Ran was a little uneasy.
After talking on the phone with Han Dong for a long time, Su Ran was about to go to bed. However, just as she lay down, Ning Xi called.
"Su Ran, after thinking about it, I still want to hear your opinion."
"What is it that requires my opinion?" Su Ran yawned and said lazily, feeling very sleepy.
"Yun Chen... He confessed his love to me tonight."
Su Ran seemed to be given a shot of chicken blood, and suddenly became energetic: "Really? When did you confess? How come I didn't know?"
"That's when you were talking to the old man."
"Great, this guy finally spoke out. How do you respond?"
"I didn't respond!"
"Huh? What do you mean by no response?"
Su Ran couldn't understand, Ning Xi obviously liked Gu Yunchen.
"I think this matter is a bit unreliable." Ning Xi hesitated.
"Why is he unreliable? I think Gu Yunchen is quite reliable." Su Ran said.
As the only heir of the Gu family, Gu Yunchen does not have any bad habits of a dandy boy. She has no idea about his situation in Xinghai Country, but she has never heard of any scandals between Gu Yunchen and anyone after he returned to China. He is not like those rich second-generations who date this actress today and that internet celebrity tomorrow, changing girlfriends as easily as they change clothes.
This alone is rare.
Moreover, after she confronted Gu Yunchen, Gu Yunchen no longer had any thoughts about her, nor did he make things difficult for her and treated her as a friend.
Well, luckily nothing happened between her and Gu Yunchen, otherwise, it would be a big deal. They are cousins.
"It's not his problem, it's my problem. I don't even know what he likes about me. In terms of appearance, I'm at best above average. In terms of talent, I'm just an undergraduate from an ordinary university. In terms of family background, my family is far inferior to the Gu family. Moreover, I'm lazy and have a bad temper..."
Su Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had known Ning Xi for so many years, but this was the first time she had heard her reflect on herself so deeply.
"Do you think you're not good enough for him?"
"Um!"
"Are you afraid that he hasn't figured out why he likes you yet, and when he figures it out, he might not like you anymore?"
"Su Ran, you still understand me."
"I don't understand you. The Ning Xi I know is confident, generous, kind, enthusiastic, and chivalrous. She is strategic and has a strong will. She never hesitates in doing things. She looks before and after and takes action when she makes the right move. When did she become so hesitant? It's Gu Yunchen's luck that you like him. If he doesn't perform well and dares to despise you, you should kick him away. You actually doubt yourself. I'm really mad at you. Didn't you hear what the old man said today? The old man still has the final say in the Gu family. The old man said that as long as Gu Yunchen likes her and the woman has good character, it doesn't matter whether she has a good family background or not. The Gu family can have the scale and status it has today not because of women. It doesn't make sense that it has to rely on women to support it." Su Ran taught her in a crackling manner.
Ning Xi felt better after being scolded by her.
"Then... should I get along with him first?"
"Don't ask me, ask your own heart. If you like him, date him. If you don't like him, reject him. You're thinking about whether you'll break up and whether it will work before you even start dating. Why don't you go on blind dates and talk about marriage right away if you're attracted to each other? What's the point of dating? Even if you take a step back, some married people still get divorced. If you're afraid of divorce, don't get married?"
"Oh, I see. I'll think about it." Ning Xi hung up the phone, sat cross-legged on the bed and was dazed for a while. She felt that Su Ran was right. She was not just a little cowardly, but very cowardly.
She is so timid and doesn't look like the domineering Ning Xi at all.
Ning Xi despised herself very much, picked up the phone and called Gu Yunchen.
"Ning Xi..."
"Gu Yunchen, listen to me carefully."
Gu Yunchen was already lying on the accompanying bed. Hearing this, he quickly got up and walked to the balcony to answer the phone.
"I'm listening!"
"I have a bad temper."
"I know. I like it."
Uh... Ning Xi said: "Can you please listen to what I have to say?"
"Okay, I won't interrupt you, just go ahead."
"I have a bad temper, I can't do housework, I don't have much ambition, and I didn't graduate from a prestigious university. My family owns two listed companies, but I don't think that has anything to do with me. I've never thought about going back to take over. I just want to do what I like and be an agent. You have thought about all this. I'll be frank with you. If you think it's okay, then let's talk. If you use these to dislike me in the future, I'll beat you to death." Ning Xi said this in one breath and hung up the phone.
Wasn't the performance just now quite domineering? This is the real Ning Xi, who speaks and acts cleanly and neatly, without any dragging of feet.
Gu Yunchen stared at the phone in a daze, reading her words from beginning to end. Did she agree to be his girlfriend
Gu Yunchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This woman... Just agree to it! She was so aggressive that if you didn't know, you would think she was here to settle a score with him.
Well! He just likes her uniqueness, likes to be looked down upon and criticized by her, he just owes her.
Perhaps, this is what is called destiny! Is there any way
Gu Yunchen sent a message.
With a ding-dong sound, Ning Xi clicked on the message.
… I won’t give you the chance to hit me, because that’s how I like you.
Ning Xi covered her face with her hands and laughed, rolling around on the bed twice, happy like a fool!
Yeah! She finally has a boyfriend, and he's a pretty good boyfriend.
