Chapter 1103: It's Too Late
Most of the temperament is actually piled up with money, especially the graceful and luxurious temperament of middle-aged women, anyone can see that they are particularly rich, after all, just buying cosmetics and various maintenance fees every year is not something that ordinary people can afford, and it is no wonder that rich people look particularly young.
For example, those ageless stars on TV, their peers are already old, full of gray hair and wrinkles, but they still look young, as if they are more than 20 years younger than their peers, this is the magic of money.
When she saw Li Xiang, the smile on the middle-aged woman's face instantly froze, and she stared at Li Xiang and didn't know what she was thinking.
The middle-aged woman, that is, Gu Sining's mother is called Min Shu, who is considered to be a scholarly family, chose Gu Sining's father when he had nothing, and accompanied him to this day step by step from scratch, but unfortunately he can't grow old, because the man died unexpectedly in a car accident last month.
As a result, the Gu family fell into infighting, and the orphans and widows were left alone.
After Gu Sining came in, she shouted "Mom" very obediently
Li Xiang also politely shouted, "Auntie, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
When Li Xiang said this, Li Xiang was still pondering, Gu Sining's mother looked very young, if he met outside, he should call his sister to be polite, after all, women don't like others to call her too old.
But whether it was Gu Sining or Li Xiang who spoke, Min Shu didn't respond, and still kept staring at Li Xiang, Li Xiang also found that Gu Sining's mother was looking at him at this time, and he was a little embarrassed.
Gu Sining naturally found out, of course she knew why her mother lost her mind, because when she first saw Li Xiang, she was also a little like a dream, he was really too similar to her deceased father, except for the difference in age and height, etc., even the temperament on his body was so much like each other, so he attracted her.
Otherwise, with such Li Xiang, how could it be possible for the extremely arrogant Gu Sining to take the initiative to entangle?
Gu Sining was afraid that her mother would scare Li Xiang like this, so she walked over with a smile and took her mother's arm and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Min Shu came back to his senses at this time and realized that she had lost her temper, but how could she not let her lose her temper?
She greeted warmly, "You are Li Xiang, sit down quickly."
Li Xiang sat next to Gu Sining a little embarrassed, although he didn't feel nervous, but after all, his relationship with Gu Sining was a joke, and he came to see his parents for some reason, he always felt weird, and he hoped to finish this procedure quickly.
"You shouldn't have eaten yet, let's order food first, and talk while eating" Min Shu said with a smile, her smile was very warm and comfortable.
Saying that, Min Shu beckoned the waiter in, and took the initiative to hand the menu to Li Xiang and said, "Li Xiang, you look first, don't be so restrained, just treat me as an ordinary elder."
Li Xiang responded with an embarrassed smile, and he didn't say anything polite, he took the menu and ordered two dishes that he liked to eat, which were regarded as the salary given to him by Gu Sining.
It didn't take long for everyone to order.
Min Shu asked again at this time, "Li Xiang, do you drink?"
Before Li Xiang could speak, Gu Sining said, "Mom, Li Xiang can't drink, he is a little unwell."
"Oh, then don't drink, it's not good to drink, Sisi's father just loves to drink too much, how can he not persuade him for so many years" Min Shu said with some emotion, but she was not disappointed, her current mood is still immersed in the moment when she first met Li Xiang, as if she had met an old man.
If you don't drink, you only have to drink tea, Min Shu casually ordered the pot of good Ming Qian Longjing.
It didn't take long for the waiter to start serving, after all, there are only a few private rooms here, and the serving speed is naturally not slow.
As soon as he started eating, Min Shu asked directly, "Li Xiang, how old is this year, are you from Chengdu?"
"Auntie, I'm Chinese New Year's Eve two years today, I'm not from Chengdu, I'm from Guizhou, I've only been in Chengdu for two months" Li Xiang explained truthfully, he believed that this age alone could make Gu Sining's mother startled, after all, she was six years older than Gu Sining, which is a bit big of an age difference.
After listening to Li Xiang's words, Min Shu really frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at her daughter, she didn't expect that Li Xiang was six years older than her daughter, and she was not a native of Chengdu.
Gu Sining didn't feel embarrassed, but said, "Mom, isn't my dad a few years older than you?"
"Li Xiang, is there anyone else in Guizhou's hometown, will you settle in Chengdu or go back to your hometown in the future?" Min Shu continued to ask.
Li Xiang said lightly, "There is no one in my hometown, my parents died relatively early, and I have always followed my aunt to depend on each other, and my aunt is now in Chengdu." As for the future, I don't know yet, I want to settle in Chengdu, but the housing prices in Chengdu are too expensive, I guess I can't afford to buy a house in my life, and I may go back to my hometown."
What Li Xiang meant by this is that I have no money and can't afford to buy a house, so the probability of returning to my hometown in the future is relatively high.
Min Shu doesn't care about this, these things may be difficult problems for other people, but for the Gu family, it is nothing at all, as long as Li Xiang has the ability, does their Gu family still lack a house?
Therefore, Min Shu said euphemistically, "As long as young people are self-motivated, they can buy a house whenever they want, as long as they have a place to live, they just don't know what you are doing now?"
Hearing this, Li Xiang felt that he had finally asked the right question, Auntie hopes that after I tell you, don't scare you, I didn't mean to, I'm telling the truth, if you want to blame, blame your daughter.
"Auntie, I have a good job, I send couriers during the day, and now I can make money by delivering couriers, as long as I work hard, it is easy to earn seven or eight thousand yuan a month. In the evenings, I would also be a resident singer in a bar, and I loved listening to songs, so I got a job like this. Not long after I went to Jiuyan Bridge, I can earn two or three hundred yuan by singing in a bar for half an hour, if I run a few more bars, I will earn more than I send couriers a month, as long as I can last a few years, it is not a problem to buy a house" Li Xiang deliberately said in a very exaggerated tone, just to give Gu Sining's mother the impression that I am a frog at the bottom of the well, so that Gu Sining's mother will not take a fancy to him if she is killed.
But to Li Xiang's surprise, Gu Sining's mother didn't react after hearing this, she just stared at Li Xiang with a smile, after all, she already knew what Li Xiang was doing, so she just asked casually to see what Li Xiang would say.
If Li Xiang confessed truthfully, she would think that this young man was not bad, but if she lied for the sake of face, her impression of Li Xiang would be greatly reduced.
In the end, Li Xiang explained truthfully, which made Min Shu very satisfied.
However, Li Xiang was a little confused.
Gu Sining over there quietly looked at Li Xiang, muttering in her heart that I will let you act, you will play it for me.
"Li Xiang, have you ever thought about changing jobs?" Min Shu directly threw out an olive branch and said, if Li Xiang is willing, she can give Li Xiang a high platform.
Li Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Auntie, I don't even have a degree, what kind of work can I do?"
"Li Xiang, heroes don't ask where they come from, education is just a kind of ability, no education doesn't mean no ability, many people just lack a good platform, you don't think about yourself but you have to think about Sisi, have you thought about these things?" Min Shu didn't hit Li Xiang, but said so.
Li Xiang really wanted to reply, Auntie, I really didn't think about this, your daughter is just making fun of me, are you serious?
However, Li Xiang could only say, "Auntie, what you said is that I know that I am not worthy of Sisi now, even if you agree, I will not agree, so I will consider what you said, and when my aunt comes back, I will discuss it with my aunt."
"Well, you can think like this, Auntie is very pleased. Auntie will not dislike you because of your age and work, I once said to Sisi's father, no matter who Sisi likes, we will support it, as long as she likes it, even if it is sweeping the road, we have no opinion, so you can rest assured of this. But what others think of Sisi and how they see you, that's your business, you have to think about it," Min Shu looked like a person who had come over, and said bitterly.
Hearing this, Li Xiang finally understood what was going on, it turned out that Gu Sining's mother thought so, no wonder he said that Gu Sining's mother didn't take it seriously, and felt that he was doing useless work, no wonder Gu Sining dared to bring him to meet his parents.
But thinking about it on the other hand, Li Xiang is still quite moved, in an environment like the Gu family, it is already rare for Gu Sining's parents to be so open-minded, so Gu Sining can have such parents, it is really lucky.
Li Xiang was completely defeated, so he had to say, "Auntie, you're right, I know"
Later, the atmosphere was not as awkward as at the beginning, Li Xiang still answered Min Shu's words so unobtrusively, he replied to whatever Min Shu asked, Gu Sining said more later, and most of the time he was adjusting the atmosphere.
It didn't take long for this dinner to eat, Li Xiang left, because he still had to go to the bar to sing, and Min Shu didn't stop him, and asked the driver to send him directly, but left Gu Sining behind.
"Sisi, tell Mom, are you joking, or are you serious? I know that you like him probably because he has the shadow of your father, just now Mom was stunned when she first saw him, it is really similar to your father when he was young, but love and marriage are not a joke, the gap between you is too big, understand?" Min Shu said earnestly.
Gu Sining was no longer as foolish as he was in front of Li Xiang, but replied, "Mom, I know, I don't dare to say that I like him now, but let's get in touch slowly, if I really like him, I will choose him regardless of everything."
"Besides, Sisi, if you find him as a boyfriend at this time, what will your uncle think, our orphans and widows are not his opponents at all, and Li Xiang has no ability to help us, I'm afraid that your uncle will think too much, and it will be unfavorable to Li Xiang when the time comes" When talking about this matter, Min Shu said in a very heavy tone.
Since Gu Sining's father died, the group has been completely divided, and the group established by Gu Sining's father is about to fall into the hands of others, but their mother and daughter have no choice, because everyone is supporting Gu Sining's uncle.
Whoever let Uncle Gu Sining stand behind the big guy in Chengdu, no one dares to offend.
Thinking of this, Gu Sining was also a little scared, if this was really the case, then Li Xiang would indeed be in danger because of her, she had to say, "Mom, I'll think about it again"
Min Shu sighed at this time, "I'm afraid it's too late."
Why, because this information about Li Xiang was told to her by Gu Sining's uncle.
