“Ruirui, come and try this dress.”

“This scarf pairs well with it.”

“And this set of jewellery too. It was a gift for your twentieth birthday, you should wear it today. Let’s ask your father to give you another set on your next birthday. “

In a dreamy princess styled room in the Su house, Mrs. Su is currently happily busy with choosing various dresses and accessories.

The person in front of Mrs. Su is Mrs. Su and her husband Su Hongyuan’s only daughter, Su Rui, the little princess of the Su family.

Looking at the daughter in front of her who was obediently getting dressed up (tormented), Mrs. Su was filled with emotions.

Two years ago, Su Rui was rebellious and would always be complaining that she had no freedom and no human rights at home. In the end, she forced her parents to send her to study in the United States by threatening to commit suicide.

For the past two years, Su Rui rarely contacted her family. No one would have expected that the next time they received a call from the United States, they would hear that Su Rui was seriously injured due to a derailed roller coaster at an amusement park.

The moment she received the news, Liu Yue was frightened to death.

Both Liu Yue and her husband borrowed a business partner’s private plane and brought Sui Rui, who was out of danger, back to the country overnight.

After Su Rui recuperated in the hospital for two months, she recovered.

Mrs. Su couldn’t imagine what would have happened if she didn’t have her daughter. Therefore, when she came back, Mrs Su began to spoil and give in to Su Rui more.

She didn’t know whether it was because Su Rui had gotten over her rebellious phase or if the change was due to the accident that had occurred, but Mrs. Su realised that after her daughter returned, she had become more sensible and obedient, making people like her to death.

Of course, Mrs Su was unaware that the soul of the sensible daughter in her eyes had actually changed.

The current Su Rui was a transmigrator.

In Su Rui’s original world, due to an accident a few years ago, her father fled after taking all of her family’s money, her mother took her younger brother and remarried, while Su Rui was left relying on the little living expenses her mother sent her every month as a means of livelihood.

Life didn’t get better until Su Rui graduated from college and became financially independent.

Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. In less than two years of work, Su Rui found out that she suffered from AS syndrome which caused her to spend all her savings but to no avail, as there was no improvement in her health. Su Rui laid on the hospital bed lifelessly for three years. In the end, she couldn’t live through it.

Su Rui thought that she was dead, but she didn’t expect to wake up again.

Su Rui woke up in the hospital. At that time, looking at the familiar white wall, she thought that she had been saved by the doctor and transferred to a higher class ward.

It wasn’t until a month later that some of the memories that appeared intermittently in her head were pieced together. It was then that Su Rui knew she had transmigrated.

The original owner had died in a roller coaster accident and her soul just happened to have transmigrated at that time.

She saw this body’s mother accompanying her every day beside her hospital bed and learned that the middle aged man who visited her after work was the original owner’s father.

The Su family’s business dealt with the production of sand and stone. In more recent years, the Su family had made a fortune in real estate. According to the original owner’s memories, Su Rui worked out that the Su family was counted as a wealthy and influential family.

As the chairman of Su Hua enterprise, Su Hongyuan should be very busy, and as the wife of the head of a wealthy and influential family, Liu Yue should have a lot of dinner parties to attend to every day.

However, they still try their best to let go of the matters at hand and accompany her in the hospital, which shows how much they love they held for their daughter.

Su Rui hadn’t expected to feel the warmth of the family that she hadn’t felt in a long time, and more importantly, that she would be healthy and full of vitality.

This was what Su Rui, who used to lay in the hospital bed, yearned for the most.

She didn’t know if it was a reward from heaven for the three years of being in a vegetative state but anyways, Su Rui secretly vowed very, very earnestly that she would live a good life this time around!

Facing Mrs. Su’s concern, the original owner would have been annoyed, but Su Rui didn’t feel repulsed.

“Mum, I don’t really want to wear this necklace.”

“What’s the matter? Ruirui doesn’t like this necklace?”

“No, that’s not it. It’s just that I am afraid that I’ll be robbed when wearing this necklace outside.” Looking at the exquisite necklace in the box, Su Rui truthfully said her concerns.

Plus, isn’t too extravagant to wear such a necklace just to go out?

“Rob? Who dares to rob us, the Su Family. If it really happens, let’s see how your dad will deal with them!” Liu Yue said very confidently.

“But you are right, Ruirui. It would be too rude to dress up extravagantly for an afternoon tea gathering that has elders present. We’ll keep this set for the next party.“

“Come look, how about this little starfish?”

Looking at another necklace that Mrs Su took out, there was only a small starfish, but a ruby was mounted on the necklace. It was a simple and tasteful style but also playful. It was very suitable for the current Su Rui.

“It looks good,” Su Rui nodded with a smile.

“That’s good. Come, mum will put it on for you.” While putting on the necklace for Su Rui, Liu Yue assessed Su Rui with her eyes and nodded repeatedly. “Our family’s Ruirui is so beautiful! I’m sure that it will attract…”

“Attract what?”

“What what? Nothing. Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll be late for our appointment this afternoon.”

The two people sat in the family car and left at Su Mother’s urging.

“Mum, you aren’t bringing me to a blind date today, right?” In the car, Su Rui finally couldn’t help but voiced out on her speculations.

“Ah!” Su Ruirui’s words made Liu Yue suddenly surprised. “Ruirui, how did you know?”

“I guessed it of course. Other than a blind date, what else can it be? This type of 4 person appointment between two families with elders bringing their sons and daughters along is not a new combination at all.”

“Well, Ruirui ah, listen to Mum, Mum didn’t mean to hide it from you. I was afraid that telling you in advance would cause you to feel pressured.” Unable to understand her daughter’s expression at the moment, Liu Yue quickly explained.

Of course, she was also afraid that Su Rui would be agitated and run away from home after she knew about it.

“It’s Mum’s fault to hide this from you. Mum will apologise to you.”

Liu Yue wanted to apologise but Su Rui suddenly held up her hand.

“It’s just a blind date. How can I allow Mum to apologise to me?” Su Rui said indifferently.

“Ruirui, you aren’t angry?”

“Not really.” If it was in the past, Su Rui would probably find the phrase blind date to be repulsive since to her it would mean an arranged marriage.

But after a year of struggling in society and lying in bed for three years, Su Rui could now look at the problem calmly and objectively.

As parents, they would care about their children’s marriage. That was why they seriously arranged the blind date. What’s more, to have a blind date in itself was not bad. If there was a bond, she would make an attempt. If there was no bond, they wouldn’t force her.

Listening to Su Rui’s tone that was relaxed and not angry, Liu Yue’s heart finally felt relieved.

However, there was still some uneasiness.

“Ruirui, don’t pay any mind to those nonsensical family arranged marriages made for business cooperation. Our family is rich, we don’t need to do any of these. Mum arranged this blind date hoping that you would be able to find your fated person. Although you are still young, we are starting earlier so that we can find you the best one!”

Arranged marriages by family were not uncommon in the upper class circle, but Liu Yue just didn’t understand those people. How could they bear to marry off the precious daughter that they had personally carried for ten months and given birth to, the one they had held and worried that they would fall, the one they had carefully safeguarded in fear that she would go bad? How could they hastily marry their daughter off for business?

Anyways, there would be no such thing as business marriage in their family.

In Liu Yue’s eyes, her daughter was worth the best.

Moreover, if a suitable one was picked, it would be better to adjust things earlier on.

She didn’t know what was wrong with the girls recently. They especially liked more feminine boys. Where was the sense of achievement there?

Recently news broke out that the second young lady of the Yuan Zheng group, because of a little fresh meat[1] in a talent show competition, caused an uproar at home. She even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists.

Thinking about her family, Su Rui’s age, and the previous rebellious period which was longer than others, Liu Yue is worried that Su Rui would also be scammed by those little bastards who were different from their appearance.

Su Rui seemingly understood Li Yue’s worries. She smiled and held her mother’s hands.

“Mum, don’t worry, I know that you have my best interests in mind.”

Su Rui was not the kind of girl who yearned for a supernatural love. In fact, she agreed with Mother Su’s point of view.

Equal economic power, social status, a similar outlook on life, values, world outlook, and even the rhythm of life and social circle with a high degree of harmony may not be able to spark a passionate love like Jack’s[2] but they would be the best guarantee for a long term marriage.

Although it still doesn’t sink in to Su Rui that her family owns a large business, she would need to adapt to it.

“My Ruirui really grew up!” Su Rui’s words made Liu Yue laugh.

Both of them chatted happily until they reached the appointed café.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Su. Good afternoon, Miss.”

Judging from the style of the café, this was not a place where ordinary consumers would come, but obviously, Liu Yue was already a regular there.

“This café’s desserts are really delicious. When Mum was bored during the two years when you were studying in the United States, I would invite some old sisters to come here for afternoon tea.” Liu Yue explained with a smile.

The implication being that, although it was going to be a blind date, don’t worry girl, this place is your mother’s home field.

Soon afterwards, Liu Yue turned to the waiter and said elegantly, “I have an appointment with Mrs. Gu here today.”

“Mrs. Gu has arrived in the room ahead of time. Mrs. Su and Miss. Su, please follow me.”

“Just a moment.” As they neared the room, Su Rui pulled back Liu Yue.

“Ruirui?” Liu Yue was worried that her daughter, after coming here, would suddenly go back on her words.

“I’ll go to the bathroom and tidy up. “ Su Rui smiled at Liu Yue soothingly and explained.

After all, this was her first blind date in both of her two lives. She would be more prudent. Su Rui was also a little nervous.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Liu Yue was stunned at first, but then she felt a burst of joy.

Her baby daughter really had grown up.

“Quickly go then. Mum will wait for you in the private room.” Liu Yue said with a gratified smile.

Although she didn’t see anything improper with her daughter, Liu Yue was happy and allowed Su Rui to go.

After all, it was very good for her daughter to have this idea.

Note:

[1] Little fresh meat. It refers to young and handsome males. Normally, it would refer to a good looking man aged 12-20 years old.

[2] It is referring to Jack from the Titanic movie

“Ah!”

As soon as Su Rui took two steps towards the direction the waiter pointed at, she collided with a tall, robust body and subconsciously exclaimed.

Suddenly colliding with someone, Gu Yucheng’s countenance flashed with a touch of coldness. He lowered his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him. In Gu Yucheng’s unfriendly eyes, other than disgust, there also seemed to be a faint trace of disdain.

President Gu had seen many of these petty and tiresome means.

What would the next step be? A sprained foot? Or did one of the accessories she was wearing fall off?

Gu Yucheng subconsciously took a guess at Su Rui’s next move. However to Gu Yucheng’s surprise, before he pushed the woman away, the other side quickly stabilised her body and stepped back, widening the distance between them.

“Sorry I collided with you, I was walking too hurriedly.” Su Rui raised her head and apologised automatically to the person she had bumped into.

She wasn’t sure whether it was a theory of a friend in her past life, but the rich would marry those who were beautiful, which would then make the family gene optimised as the beauty of the offspring would increase.

It had been a few days since Su Rui was discharged from the hospital. She had seen more of beautiful men and women in the world than she had ever seen in her last life.

But in front of her, the man in a suit and leather shoes who had a cold facial expression was the most beautiful of all.

‘My friend really did not deceive me.’

Su Rui lamented in her heart as her brain immediately returned to normal.

She hadn’t forgotten that she was there for a blind date.

“Sorry.” Su Rui apologised again. Seeing that the other side seemingly didn’t have the intention to not let the matter go, she bypassed the man and continued to walk towards the bathroom.

Turning his head and seeing the figure disappearing around the corner, Gu Yucheng’s indifferent face cracked for the first time.

He had misunderstood.

This conclusion made Gu Yucheng feel a little awkward.

At the same time, towards that unfamiliar woman, he inexplicably felt apologetic in his heart.

Gu Yucheng pursed his lips and looked away, turning to walk towards the end of the corridor in the direction Su Rui had come from before.

Su Rui, who was going to the bathroom, knew nothing about it.

After tidying the hair that had come loose and fallen on her cheeks because of the collision, Su Rui’s face flashed a dazzling smile as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror.

This body’s face and her face from her past life were about the same.

The only difference was that after lying in a hospital for three years, Su Rui’s face had long been haggard, thin, pale and full of lesions, which wasn’t what a girl in her early twenties should look like.

Currently, the healthy, white and delicate face which brimmed with youthfulness was very distant from her in Su Rui’s memories.

“It’s good to be alive.” Su Rui made some funny expressions with her face.

Before Su Rui had had time to enjoy her life, she had passed away. This time, she would not waste her chance. Going on a holiday, getting married, what others have, she would also have!

After coming out of the bathroom, Su Rui’s countenance returned to normal.

On the other side, in the private room.

Liu Yue chatted enthusiastically with Mrs. Gu about light topics, though she still maintained her reservedness. And of course, she also chatted with Gu Yucheng who had just entered.

Liu Yue was feeling a little flustered. It had been some time since Rui Rui left the room, why wasn’t she back yet?

As a mother, she hadn’t been fooled by her daughter, right?

Just as Liu Yue’s mind began to think that Rui Rui had gone somewhere else to play and she started to wonder how she would end the date as peacefully as possible, the private room’s door finally opened.

“Sorry, I’ve kept you waiting.”

When Su Rui entered the private room, she saw Mrs. Su who had an excited expression, a woman of the same age and temperament as Mrs. Su who was sitting opposite her, and then she saw the person sitting next to the woman.

“Eh? It’s you?”

Su Rui was a bit surprised.

Su Rui didn’t care too much about the little incident in the corridor before but she hadn’t expected that they would meet again so soon.

Moreover, from the current situation in the private room, this person seemed to be the date Mother Su had arranged for her today.

“Do you know each other?” Su Rui’s words caught the attention of both parents.

“No, we just happened to bump into each other in the corridor.” Su Rui explained, turning her head and nodding in the direction of Gu Yucheng. “What a coincidence.”

“Then you two are predestined.” Mrs. Gu smiled, her eyes amicable as they sized up Su Rui.

When the girl opened the door, she had caught his attention because this girl’s looks were so outstanding that people couldn’t fail to notice her.

Su Rui’s appearance was not very cute or pure, nor did she look like the girl next door type that made others put down their guard at a glance. Su Rui’s good looks were mesmerising, and it was that kind of beauty that was bright and dazzling.

To be honest, such looks did not easily please elders, especially the future mother in law. However, such an eye-catching appearance, coupled with the sincere and benign smile Su Rui currently had along with her clean temperament, made people feel that there was no sense of contradiction.

In any case, the beauty standards were met.

“Xiao Yue, this is your daughter right? She is so beautiful!” Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

“Yes, this is my daughter Su Rui.” In Madam Su’s heart, her daughter was the prettiest. She was very pleased when she heard others call her daughter beautiful.

“Rui Rui, this is Auntie Yu. Mum and Auntie Yu have known each other for many years.”

This Auntie Yu, who was mentioned occasionally by Mother Su, was a high school classmate. Although their friendship didn’t reach the level of girlfriends, they had known each other for many years. Later, one married Su Hong Yuan and the other married into the Gu family. Their identities were similar. In the circle of rich ladies, their friendship was good.

At home, when Su Rui was surfing the Internet before, she seemed to have seen Mrs. Gu around. Mrs. Gu seemed very Niu X[1].

But Su Rui didn’t care much about that.

Su Rui had been a poor person for more than 20 years. For a poor person, there was no difference between a hundred million and a quadrillion.

“Hello, Auntie Yu.” Su Rui politely greeted her.

‘En. Good girl, this is a gift from Auntie Yu. It’s for you.” Mrs. Gu took out a delicate box and gave it to Su Rui.

“This…” They had just met. Although this was a blind date, the ba zi[2] hadn’t even been exchanged yet, it seems to be somewhat inappropriate to receive gifts.

“Oh, look at you. You have prepared a gift. Look at me, as an elder, I forgot to prepare a gift for my nephew.” Seeing her daughter’s embarrassment, Liu Yue said that to help ease the situation, though it wasn’t a lie.

Even though she was the one pushing Su Rui to have a blind date, her daughter was still young. She wanted Su Rui to meet more people but she didn’t plan on letting her daughter get married so soon.

On the other hand, the things Yu Jing had prepared were simply too much.

“How can it be the same? Yucheng and your husband must have met before. Didn’t Rui Rui just return back? Come on, take it, it’s a gift from Auntie to celebrate Rui Rui returning home.”

“Thank you, Auntie Yu.”

“You’re welcome,” said Mrs. Gu, with a smile.

She liked the little girl more and more after seeing her face to face.

She was beautiful, speaking and behaving appropriately. At present, she had a good personality. She was not arrogant or impetuous with her young age. Their family background was also similar to their family.

Of course, the most crucial point was Su Rui’s attitude towards Gu Yucheng.

Before, Gu Yucheng was also tricked by Mrs. Gu went on several blind dates and the girls she had picked were also good ladies from big houses that had been praised by others.

But who knew that the blind dates she arranged for her son were only acting in that way after knowing that she was Madame Gu. The girls would speak a lot of flattery, which the girls thought was brilliant but disgusted Mrs. Gu.

And as soon as they saw Gu Yucheng, they would try and paste their whole body onto her son.

Not even mentioning Gu Yucheng’s feelings, Mrs. Gu also couldn’t stand it.

After several tries, Mrs. Gu almost lost confidence in blind dates.

However, who knew that she would happen to overhear at a party that Liu Yue’s daughter returned to the country. Then, when she casually talked about it to Mrs. Su, she hadn’t expected that it would give her this big surprise.

Mrs Gu. noticed that from the moment Su Rui stepped in, Su Rui hadn’t looked at her son from beginning to the end, except for talking to him courteously in the beginning. Instead, she was talking to her elders seriously. This was what a blind date should look like!

Mrs. Gu sighed in her heart.

Of course, she was confident that no girl wouldn’t like her son. Thus, Su Rui’s performance was naturally understood by Mrs. Gu as cultured, cultivated and reserved.

After evaluating Su Rui secretly, Mrs. Gu finally thought of the person sitting by her side who had been successfully ignored for the first time and was left hanging for a long time.

“Here, Auntie Yu will introduce you to my son, Gu Yucheng. He is several years older than you. You can call him Brother Cheng.” Mrs Gu warmly introduced.

Just that…

Brother?

Wait what, what was up with this strange way of addressing him.

Although Su Rui was only 20 years old now and was still a little girl in light of the nine laws and three-five[3], to let her, an old woman with a soul the age of 26, call a man she just met brother… Su Rui felt like she would be struck by thunder.

“Hello, Mr. Gu.” Su Rui greeted Gu Yucheng politely.

“Hello.” Gu Yucheng opened his mouth and replied. When listened carefully, there was a trace of unnaturalness in the low and magnetic voice.

Gu Yucheng didn’t have much experience communicating with women. Usually, when he meets women who stick themselves to him, Gu Yucheng would have two ways to deal with them; ignore them, or let the other party disappear from his eyes.

However, when he faced this girl, Gu Yucheng couldn’t use those methods.

Because the other party’s attitude was earnest and her serious attitude was not towards him, but towards the blind date itself.

“By the way, Rui Rui since you are back in the country, you should be in your 3rd year. I heard from your mother that you are going to B university, right?”

On one side, Mrs. Gu, who knew her son’s conduct well, knew that her son would not say anything after responding, so she quickly picked up the conversation and asked Su Rui.

“Yes.”

“That’s great. Your brother graduated from B university. He can be regarded as your senior.”

“…” Su Rui didn’t know why Mrs. Gu was so persistent about her addressing him as Brother Cheng. She could only smile and not talk.

“What major is Rui Rui going to study?”

When this question was asked, Su Rui’s expression became more serious.

“I like painting very much, so I will continue to study in that field. However, it will be my second major. I would like to choose my first major as economic management since it is a more practical choice.”

As soon as Su Rui said this, not only was Mrs. Gu was surprised, but Mrs. Su, who was sitting beside her daughter, was very surprised as well.

She always doted on her daughter, especially after the accident.

Originally, Liu Yue was delighted that Su Rui would stay in China and no matter what major Su Rui chose, She and her husband would not stop her.

It’s just that Su Rui had planned her own major and even chose the management major she hadn’t liked in the past.

The rich’s sons choose the major of management just to not find a job.

It turned out that without them knowing, their daughter had already grown up so much?

Liu Yue decided to tell her husband the good news as soon as she returned home. Also, didn’t Rui Rui’s aunt own an art gallery in the United States? They would cover all the expenses.

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Su, who were present there, had the same views.

“You are lucky, Xiao Yue.”

“No, I’m afraid that it is only a three-minute passion[4].”

“How could that be, I don’t think Rui Rui has that kind of three-minute passion personality.” Said Mrs. Gu, looking at Su Rui with a smile. “But after all, Auntie Gu doesn’t understand these things about management. If you don’t understand anything in your studies, you can ask your Brother Cheng.”

“Right, Yucheng?” Mrs. Gu warned Gu Yucheng with her eyes, which meant that #if you don’t say yes, you may lose your mother at a young age.# But then, Gu Yucheng’s mobile phone suddenly rang.

Note::

[1] niu - directly translate to Bull/cow X. It is a colloquial term used by the youngsters to describe someone who is terrific, or he can do things that ordinary people can’t do.

[2] Ba zi – birthdate characters used in fortune-telling

[3] It has a few meanings, but I think in this situation, it would mean three lives and five deaths(?).

[4] 3-minute passion is a Chinese saying which refers to a person having a limited passion, or a passion that doesn’t last long toward something/someone that he/she liked/loved/was passionate about.

One could tell by looking at Mrs. Gu’s glances as she eyed Gu Yucheng that it was not the first time Mrs. Gu had faced this kind of situation.

It was that boy called Wang something who colluded with you right, the next time that person comes to pick up documents from her home, he will see how she deals with him!

Mrs. Gu thought to herself.

On the other hand, Gu Yucheng looked down at his phone’s notification of an incoming call calmly.

“Sorry, please excuse me for a moment.”

Gu Yucheng looked at the two elders and nodded at Su Rui as he got up.

In this year, Mrs. Gu had arranged all kinds of blind dates for him. 19 times out of 20, if Mrs. Gu didn’t perform the show of firstly crying, secondly making a fuss, and thirdly hanging herself every time, Gu Yucheng would never come.

But even if he came, it didn’t mean that he would waste his time on such meaningless things.

Only that this time, it was different from the previous times.

There was an incoming call. Gu Yucheng did not immediately leave and instead went towards the window next to the private room and answered the phone.

“Hello.”

“Chairman, there will be an important meeting in an hour that you need to attend in person,” said the man on the other end of the phone in one breath.

Wang Zhou had said this sentence more than ten times before. It was the same phrase every time. He was very familiar with it.

Wang Zhou thought that the chairman’s next answer would be, “Ok, I will be on my way there.”

He didn’t think that today, Gu Yucheng’s response would be, “Since it is an important meeting, why didn’t you arrange it in advance? Postpone the meeting.”

“Chairman, you…”

When did you change the script? Why didn’t he get the notice to cooperate in the performance!

As an assistant to the chairman of the board of directors, Wang Zhou felt wronged.

Instead, he listened as Gu Yucheng responded, “If there are any problems, you can make the judgement. Those that you cannot handle, just leave it.”

While he was speaking, Gu Yucheng’s eyes were looking at the people in the private room. His vision stopped on Su Rui for a moment.

At that moment, the girl was sitting there smiling. He didn’t know what she said to the two parents, but Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Su both looked happy.

“Later, I’ll return to the company.” Gu Yucheng said.

It can be seen that Miss Su’s attitude towards this blind date was earnest and calm. If Gu Yucheng leaves first on some business pretext, it would appear that he has no demeanour and is even less mature than a little girl.

Looking at Gu Yucheng as he returned to his seat, Mrs. Gu rudely glared at her son but there was also satisfaction in her eyes.

At the very least, this time, this unfilial son did not immediately leave as he had done several times before.

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Yucheng quietly and then looked at Su Rui sitting opposite of her. A flash of light appeared in her eyes.

She excitedly thought in her heart that there was hope after all.

“Ah, it must be boring to sit with two old aunties that are half-buried in the ground.” Mrs. Gu’s eyes turned and looked at Su Rui.

“ What old aunties? If you want to be old, be old by yourself. I am still young.” Mrs. Su pretended to glare at Mrs. Gu as she joked. Mrs. Su could see that Mrs. Gu was very satisfied with her daughter.

“You are also old. Both of our children are already so big that they are at the age of marriage. What’s the matter? You still want to pretend to be young?” Mrs. Gu responded without batting an eye.

As soon as those words came out, both of them laughed.

Although Mrs. Gu mentioned “talking about marriage” in what she said, because the atmosphere was pleasant now, it was not awkward.

After that, Mrs. Gu looked at Su Rui with a smile. “Ruirui must also think that chatting with your mother and I are boring.”

As she looked at Su Rui now, Mrs. Gu was 100% satisfied and she felt increasingly satisfied as she looked at her.

“How about this, we’ll sit here and chat. We won’t keep you here to suffer. Let your Brother Cheng to bring you around. There is a good shopping mall nearby.” After Mrs. Gu finished talking, she looked at Liu Yue who was sitting beside Su Rui and sought Liu Yue’s opinion.

As for the person beside her, he was already not young but he still let her, as a mother, worry about his marriage all the time, humph! His opinion was not important.

After listening, the smile on Liu Yue was a bit hesitant.

“Well, Ruirui has classes in the evening,” Liu Yue said, which meant that she was refusing Mrs. Gu. After saying that, she pretended to look at Su Rui and said, “This kid, when she starts playing, she won’t notice the time. If the class is delayed in the evening, her father will lecture her when she returns.”

Even though she knew that Gu Yucheng was decent, after all, it was the first time they had met. How could she let these two people go out alone?

Gu Yucheng wouldn’t be affected, but her family’s daughter was a girl!

Hearing Liu Yue’s words, Mrs. Gu also realised that she was rushing things. It was not right to let them go out alone.

“Yes, Ruirui’s studies are very important at her age.” Mrs. Gu said with a smile and nod. Her facial expression quickly returned to normal.

“But would Ruirui feel tired? To have classes in the evening?”

“It’s not tiring. I invite the teacher to my house and to teach one hour of the basic economic course.” Liu Yue smiled as she replied.

Although what she had just said was somewhat equivocating with Mrs. Gu, Liu Yue wasn’t lying.

It was Su Rui’s request to invite a tutor to tutor her in economics.

This time, as soon as school started, Su Rui would be in her third year at B university.

Su Rui hadn’t touched this course before.

The original owner studied a course that was similar to art in the United States and didn’t know anything about economics at all.

While for Su Rui, herself, even though she graduated and found a job. She had given up on art and had chosen an accounting major. She more or less had a bit of experience in economic management.

However, Su Rui wasn’t doing very well in university. After graduating for so many years, she had already returned that knowledge to her teacher.

As such, in order not to fall behind and be lost in class, Su Rui decisively requested to be tutored for the contents of year one and year two.

At first, she meant that she wanted to go to a cram school. However, as soon as she said that, the next day, her father got a famous teacher who was from C university to provide tutoring to Su Rui.

Both Mrs. Su and Mrs. Gu were experts in the field of communication and chatted about many topics.

Even though Gu Yucheng was not interested in the content of their talk, he would keep his demeanour and politeness and answer when he was occasionally asked.

With these two people, the blind date ended with an excellent atmosphere.

When she left the building, Mrs. Gu wanted Gu Yucheng to send Liu Yue and Su Rui to the Su house first. Naturally, she was declined by Mrs. Su.

“Next time Ruirui can visit Auntie Yu’s house. Your uncle has a lot of good paintings.”

“Yes.”

…

When they got home, they noticed that Su Hongyuan had not returned yet, so Mrs. Su took Su Rui to sit on the sofa. Mrs. Su asked seriously, “Ruirui, let me ask you a question ah, how did you feel about today?”

“Well, it was just like that. There was nothing special about it.” Su Rui hesitated and replied.

It was just a blind date, a face-to-face meeting, a brief chat for an afternoon, how could she have any thoughts about it.

“Mum meant the Gu family’s Gu Yucheng. What do you think of him?” To discuss this topic, Liu Yue did not have the eagerness as when the mother and son were present before, but she became very prudent.

Liu Yue can see that Yu Jing likes their family’s Ruirui. Yu Jing has a good personality. If Ruirui marries into that family, it would be easier for her.

Of course, There would always be some disagreement between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but the Gu family is a little better.

For the current Gu family, although Lao Gu is still around, the real head is Gu Yucheng.

In ancient times, if Ruirui married into their family, she would be the lady of the house. If there was any disagreement between Yu Jing and her daughter, she would not be bullied in the Gu family.

“Um… Gu Yucheng?” After hearing Mrs. Su, Su Rui thought for a moment and replied, “I think he is ok.”

Su Rui thinks that this blind date was alright. Overall, he seems to be not too bad. His age, education and other areas were also very good.

Although she thought that this person was a little boring, isn’t the purpose of marriage finding someone dependable to live life with? For his personality to be a little bit boring is not important, if she were to find a playboy, it would cause more of a headache for her.

“Then, do you like him?” Liu Yue asked subconsciously.

She had heard that in their circle, many people wanted to marry into the Gu family. One reason would be because of the titles of Gu family’s young madam and Chairman Gu’s madame. These two titles were attractive. A more prominent reason would be that Gu Yucheng was just too outstanding.

When Su Rui heard Mrs. Su’s question, she couldn’t help but blush even though she is a grown female youth.

“Well, I don’t think I like him yet.” Su Rui said shyly.

How many couples who registered for marriage fell in love at first sight?

What’s more, the man she met for the first time today had only said a few words in total.

However, Su Rui didn’t dislike that man either.

“I think it’s better to get to know each other more and then consider it again.” Su Rui thought for a moment and said seriously.

Hearing Su Rui’s words, Liu Yue’s eyes brightened.

“Ruirui is right. Let’s observe the situation.” Liu Yue nodded her head in agreement.

Their family doesn’t covet the Gu family’s anything, let alone selling their daughter to seek honour. Su Rui’s well being was the most important thing.

As for the selection of a son-in-law, they would treat it with the same spirit as selecting lipstick!

After a pause, Liu Yue held Su Rui’s hands again and said, “I guess Yu Jing will invite you to visit her home some time. It’s an invitation from the elders. It doesn’t matter if you go or not, just pay attention to your etiquette.”

“If you think that Gu Yucheng is decent, you can go. But if you think that the other party is not, you can tell me and I will deal with it.” Su Mother had already thought of all of these situations for her daughter.

Anyways, Su Mother’s meaning was, “Our Ruirui is still young, we don’t need to rush. We can choose slowly and choose the best.”

“Yes.” Su Rui smiled and nodded as she saw the concern in Mrs. Su’s eyes.

As they were talking, Su Hongyuan had just come back.

“What are the two of you, mother and daughter, whispering secretly about?” Asked Su Hong Yuan as he entered the room.

“You already said we are whispering secretly, how can we let you know?” Liu Yue said to Su Hongyuan, pouting.

After joking, Liu Yue took Su Hongyuan’s suit jacket and said, “Today, I took my daughter to have afternoon tea with Yu Jing and her son.”

Mrs. Su vaguely said this. However, Su Hongyuan still understood what she meant.

“Yu Jing?”

“You are saying the Gu family? Gu Yucheng?”

Hearing this, Su Hongyuan gave a startled look and he suddenly frowned.
