Zhang Houtu stood there, head bowed, mumbling, “I’m no king, I just want to follow you, Old Master Gu.
Call me Zhang Houtu, and I’ll answer; call me Tuzi, and I’ll still respond, just don’t ask me to leave.”
With a “pfft”, the stern-faced old man laughed, “You good-for-nothing, who’s making you leave?
I was just dissatisfied with you, giving you a little lesson, didn’t I just ask how the kid is?
Why the silence?
That kid has caught my granddaughter’s fancy, let’s chalk it up to young love.
They haven’t even spent much time together; don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to him too?”
“Heh heh.” Seeing that Old Master Gu wasn’t angry, Zhang Houtu also scratched the back of his head and laughed, his broad, square face splitting into a grin, white teeth shining bright.
“Silly look on you!
Alright, spill it.”
“Master, I’ve taken a look, that lad…
he’s no simple character, quite commanding.
I’ve seen the two guys he beat up; he’s ruthless and unsparing, daring to strike without mercy.
By the looks of it, if someone tried to stab him in the back, he would fight back on the spot.”
“Is that all?” The tone suggested no surprise.
“If that were all, it would be fine.
But right after the incident, he was like nothing happened, giving a beggar ten bucks just like that.”
“That’s quite generous.”
Zhang Houtu shook his head, “The kid then fished out nine dollars and fifty cents from the beggar’s bowl.”
“So he effectively gave the man fifty cents!”
“Mhm.” Zhang Houtu dutifully nodded, looking silly.
Old Master Gu suddenly squinted at Zhang Houtu, “What’s this?
Took a fancy to him?”
“Heh heh, not hiding it from you, Master, I quite like the cut of his jib.”
“Hmph, you think you can hide it from me?
Anyway, from what you say, he does sound like a real man.
I can’t stand those tender-faced chaps who talk a big game but wet their pants on the battlefield.
They’re all chicks pretending to be hawks.
This Ye Tian, whether he’s aiming to climb the ranks through the Gu Family or has designs on my granddaughter, once he steps into the Gu Family, he better show some backbone.
A brawl?
I think that’s good!
What’s a young man who doesn’t fight?
The Gu Family for three generations has been clad in military attire; the whole North China Plain bears the mark of the Gu Family.
What we never lack are real men!
Go, bring me my booze, let’s have a few drinks.”
“Aye!”
“What, you went to see that fellow?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?
Oh, I get it, don’t worry, sister, I won’t compete with you for him.
I was just curious about what he was like when I went to the bar last time, rest assured!”
“You…
little devil, what nonsense are you spouting!”
Huaizhou Church, in the boudoir of the Gu Family’s young lady, two stunning women are seated in meditation on the spacious, soft bed.
Gu Yue is receiving a tickling from Tang Su.
After having enough fun, both lie down gasping for breath.
“Sis, do you want to go see him?
I think…
he’s quite miserable.
When I went to see him a few days ago, besides playing chess with a bunch of old men and women, he didn’t even have anyone to share his bed,” Gu Yue said with a tilt of her little head.
However, what she saw was a face somewhat shrouded in silence.
Tang Su was still wearing her eternal office attire, only this time she had swapped the skirt for trousers, and her white jacket revealed her slender waist.
Gu Yue looked at her and suddenly felt a pang of heartache; of course, she knew the immense pressure her cousin was under, yet she said nothing.
“What’s there to see?
He’s just a security guard.
Hey, did he not recognize you when you were at Tianhe?” It seemed as if Tang Su suddenly remembered something, and she turned her head to ask.
“Nope.
He’s never seen me before, how could he recognize me?”
Hehe, silly girl, how could he possibly have not seen you?
You almost got…
Remembering what Ye Tian had done to Gu Yue in the restroom on the night he arrived, Tang Su felt a sense of time passing by, and the deliberately suppressed feelings for him sprouted like bamboo shoots after the rain, becoming uncontrollable.
Glancing at the time, it was nearly noon.
Tang Su got out of bed and straightened her hair, “Alright, Yue, I won’t be visiting Old Master Gu to avoid him trying to set me up with someone again.
As for that Ye Tian, I won’t go see him either.
Also, you must never sneak out on your own again.
Don’t hold grudges against the family members.
Is there anything we can’t discuss properly…”
Mid-speech, the little one burrowed into the quilt, her pale, beautiful legs peeking out from under her nightgown.
Tang Su gently patted her bottom, took her purse, and left.
“Yo, Susu has arrived.
What’s this?
Leaving already?” In the living room, two women were drinking tea and chatting on the sofa.
A kindly-faced woman with a well-maintained figure saw Tang Su coming downstairs and asked.
She was Gu Yue’s mother, also the Gu family’s eldest daughter-in-law, and Tang Su’s maternal aunt, Tang Jiaoqian.
An excellent homemaker with a kind heart, yet firmly decisive.
In the absence of the Gu Family’s three sons, she was the pillar of stability, supported by none other than this eldest daughter-in-law, aside from the elder in the back house.
“Auntie, I still have some matters to attend to at the company, so I’ll take my leave now.
I’ll come visit you and Yue another day.”
“You, child, always in such a rush every time you visit, not even staying for a meal.
You must take good care of yourself.
You might not come back to Tianhe, but when you’re here, think of this as your home.
If you’re ever upset or tired, just come and sit down and talk to your aunt,” said Tang Jiaoqian as she held Tang Su’s hand, her face full of sorrow as if sensing the fatigue in Tang Su’s heart.
“I know, Auntie.
Before mom passed, you took good care of us.
I understand everything.
Don’t worry, I will never let you down.”
“Silly child, it’s not about disappointment; as long as you’re doing well, that’s all that matters.”
Until Tang Su left the house, Tang Jiaoqian’s eyes remained moist.
“Big sis, the person has left, shouldn’t it be almost enough?” said another woman, around thirty, who was sitting on the sofa.
Despite being dressed in a plain qipao, her upturned eyebrows and triangular eyes gave off a shrewish and harsh impression.
Tang Jiaoqian wiped the corner of her eyes dry without a word, just smiling faintly at the black Toyota disappearing in the distance, her smile filled with kindness.
Going to the Gu Family wasn’t Tang Su’s intention; it was Gu Yue who called her in the morning saying she had something to talk about.
Tang Su thought it was about some kind of handbag or beautiful dress, but it turned out to be about Ye Tian.
In the end, Gu Yue is just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl; she doesn’t even understand her feelings for Ye Tian, but Tang Su could see it clearly – Gu Yue was developing feelings for Ye Tian.
