Chapter 242: The Unwelcome Real Gold of the Wealthy Family (13)
"Zhenzhen, I'm your biological mother, how could I harm you?" Si Xiuying said, thinking she was speaking with sincerity, "Our Liu family is not one that sells its daughters. The men we introduce to you are all well-matched men, more than enough for you."
Now that she is in college and can fall in love, Si Xiuying is very satisfied with her arrangement.
"Look, the Bai family got their start in the electronics industry. Although their foundation isn't as good as the Ming family's, it's still pretty good. You can't compare with your sister."
Gu Zhen flipped through the photos in her hand. The Liu family was indeed not selling their daughter, and the one they introduced was a young talent.
But why would she go on a blind date with someone she didn't know?
"No, I'm just a freshman. Why should I fall in love so early?" A person's face flashed through Gu Zhen's mind. Even if she had to fall in love, she would fall in love with him.
Si Xiuying frowned. If Gu Zhen and Liu Yunshu were as obedient and sensible, she would have much less to worry about.
"You have to go even if you don't want to. Your family has spoiled you enough. You have no say in matters of marriage."
Gu Zhen glanced at her with a half-smile, what does it mean to spoil her? That means she doesn't dare to control her.
If there was the slightest dissatisfaction or the tone was a little off, Gu Zhen would flip the table.
She could see that the Liu family was very concerned about their reputation, and the more you made trouble, the less they would dare to offend you.
Gu Zhen threw the photo away. In her previous life, she never found a good partner for her daughter. Why was she pretending to be a good wife and mother now?
Si Xiuying stared at Gu Zhen's disdainful back with anger, and realized the pain of some children being debts.
She must have owed this damn girl in her previous life!
Over the past few days, Si Xiuying brought up this matter many times, but the two of them always ended up parting on bad terms. Gu Zhen got annoyed and simply hid away.
The Gu family was used to living in a bungalow, so they moved to a larger courtyard and left a room for Gu Zhen.
It’s not far from Xie Jinchuan’s home, so they can meet often.
Xie Jinchuan found several part-time tutors, who paid between 200 and 300 yuan an hour.
He usually comes back around nine o'clock every day.
When Gu Zhen was bored, she would go to the barbecue stall at the entrance of the alley to wait for him. The two of them would eat some skewers and drink a bottle of beer.
Looking at Xie Jinchuan's grayed out old T-shirt and the unstoppable fatigue in his eyes and brows, Gu Zhen felt quite distressed.
This person is too thrifty. Apart from being generous in buying things for her grandmother and her, he is also very cruel to himself.
He can mend his clothes and shoes when they are torn, and he never spends money on useless things.
"Why are you looking at me tonight?" Xie Jinchuan put the skewers on the plate in front of her. "What else do you want to eat? I just got my salary and school is about to start, so I won't be a tutor anymore. Zhenzhen, I'll treat you to a big meal tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Zhen took a bite of the mutton skewer and some of the condiments got on her face. Xie Jinchuan naturally reached out to wipe it off for her.
"You're willing to spend money on a fancy meal! So generous."
Xie Jinchuan was often teased by her and was used to it: "How dare I be stingy with you, my creditor."
Gu Zhen felt sweet inside, and her tone was coquettish without her realizing it: "I don't want to eat a fancy meal, I want to eat what you made yourself."
Xie Jinchuan doted on Gu Zhen very much and would grant her every request. He pinched the box in his pocket and made up his mind.
"Is your new house finished? ... How about I go to your place and cook for you?"
Gu Zhen didn't think much about it, as she was planning to move in these few days. "Okay, you come and help me move, and then cook for me."
"Okay." Xie Jinchuan's tone was very gentle, and he looked unusually gentle under the light. He was not very hungry, and watching Gu Zhen eat was the greatest comfort to him after a tiring day.
......
Although the new house is a two-bedroom apartment, it is not small in size, with a bedroom, a study, and a spacious living room, which was decorated by Gu Zhen in a retro American style.
Xie Jinchuan secretly kept this in mind and decided that their new house should be decorated so beautifully in the future.
"Let's have some Western food. I'll go shopping."
Gu Zhen was tired after a whole day and had just taken a shower. She collapsed on the sofa and didn't want to move. Hearing this, she nodded lazily.
American style with Western food, just right.
When Xie Jinchuan came back with a lot of bags, Gu Zhen was already lying there sleeping. She was so quiet and well-behaved that it made people feel soft inside.
He gently put the things away and carried Gu Zhen back to the bedroom. He didn't dare to do anything else and kissed the back of her hand excitedly for a long time.
Gu Zhen was unaware of anything and had a good sleep. When she woke up, she found the room was dark.
She rubbed her eyes, her voice still hoarse from waking up, and she said softly, "Xie Jinchuan, where are you?"
Xie Jinchuan had just set the table. When he heard the noise, he walked over and squatted beside her bed. His voice was gentle and low: "Here, have you slept enough?"
Gu Zhen sat up and stretched, then saw the candlelight outside through the door.
He can even prepare a candlelight dinner, so he is not a straight man!
Gu Zhen looked at him approvingly. Xie Jinchuan couldn't help but rubbed the other's hair and wanted to hug her in his arms, but he didn't dare.
"Let's go and have dinner." Xie Jinchuan helped her put on her shoes, being attentive and considerate.
Maybe it was too ambiguous. When we were eating, you looked at me, I looked at you, and then we looked away at the same time, our faces reddening to our ears.
The soft candlelight reflected on Gu Zhen's skin, making her look like a white pearl, emitting a warm glow.
Xie Jinchuan didn't eat much at all. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking and he cut the plate with the knife several times.
Gu Zhen realized that she would have to face a confession tonight, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous and expectant.
But even when everything was packed and Xie Jinchuan sat on the sofa to watch a movie with her, Gu Zhen still didn't hear the words she expected.
The movie is about first love, and the emotions are very well-placed. Xie Jinchuan even commented on the acting skills of the actors, and he looked quite relaxed.
Gu Zhen was speechless and turned off the TV with a click.
"You go back, it's late, I want to go to bed."
Xie Jinchuan didn't react and wanted to ask what was wrong, but then he saw Gu Zhen's face was tense, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she looked unhappy.
He was not stupid, something flashed through his mind.
Xie Jinchuan suddenly smiled, with a gleam in his eyes that was as scorching as the warm sun.
It turns out he wasn't the only one who was anxious.
I had originally planned to talk about it before leaving, so that there would be no embarrassment for both parties and I could have a whole night to think about it. But now it seems that if I don’t say it now, someone will get angry.
Xie Jinchuan sat over calmly, and Gu Zhen turned his face away, moved a little, and sat in the corner of the sofa.
"Are you angry?" Xie Jinchuan asked in a low voice.
Gu Zhen was surrounded by his scent, the unique clean smell of the boy, just like his feelings, straightforward and pure.
After waiting all night and still not getting a confession, Gu Zhen inevitably felt aggrieved. She lowered her eyes and whispered back, "No, please leave now, you're so annoying!"
Xie Jinchuan's heart was pounding. He looked at Gu Zhen from a close distance and found that her eyelashes were very long, fluttering, making him feel itchy.
He took out a small box from his trouser pocket and handed it over: "I made this myself, I hope you like it."
