Chapter Seventy-Two: His Happiness
On the weekend, Gu Wan accompanied He Ting back to He Mansion for dinner, and happened to meet He Liancheng who was losing his temper with Guan Min. It turned out that he knew that Guan Min went to find Zhou Xiaoqiu and accidentally injured Gu Wan, so he was furious.
After Gu Wan and He Ting came back, he temporarily suppressed his anger and stopped arguing with Guan Min. But his face was still gloomy, and the atmosphere in the whole house was a little stagnant.
Gu Wan felt that in fact, He Liancheng didn't have any position to lose his temper, after all, he was at fault first. But in his husband and wife relationship with Guan Min, they were not equal from the beginning, and Guan Min naturally had no confidence.
During the meal, Guan Min seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't want to come down to eat. But he was yelled at by He Liancheng a few words, and finally sat down at the dinner table obediently.
Gu Wan looked at her depressed look and some red and swollen eyes that had obviously cried, and felt a little unbearable in her heart, but she was not qualified to say anything.
Guan Min drank two sips of soup, but he really didn't have much appetite, so he got up and apologized and wanted to leave first.
He Liancheng had a dark face and scolded her impatiently, "Sit down, I have something to say,"
Gu Wan looked at this posture, and was a little nervous for a moment, because she was wondering if He Liancheng would say something like divorcing Guan Min. Then tonight there will definitely be a bloody storm in the He Mansion, and it seems that it is not good for her to be present and get involved in other people's family affairs.
But unexpectedly, what He Liancheng wanted to say was not about him and Guan Min, but about Gu Wan and He Ting.
He Liancheng said, "Xiaoguan, you and Xiaoting have been together for a long time, what are you going to do in the future?" ”
Gu Wan was a little confused, and didn't quite understand the meaning of He Liancheng's words, "What does Uncle He mean?" ”
He Liancheng pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "I think so, the two of you have been together for a long time, and you are not young. Isn't it time to find a time for both parents to meet and settle your affairs? ”
Gu Wan was suddenly petrified, and the parents of both sides met and settled their affairs, does this mean that they want to get engaged?
Speaking of He Ting's matter, Guan Min raised his spirit and echoed, "Yes, didn't you two talk about it in high school, although they were separated for a while in the middle, but now they can come together again, what a good fate this is, let's settle it as soon as possible." ”
The smirk on Gu Wan's face was almost uncontrollable, hey, Ms. Guan, the favor you owe me is not repaid at such a time, so don't add fuel to the fire.
This sudden topic made Gu Wan a little overwhelmed for a while, and he didn't know how to take it.
She first agreed to get back together with him in order to deceive He Ting, and later when her deeds were revealed, she simply tore her face with him, but she was tied to him again because of an inexplicable agreement.
Although her feelings for him are changing day by day, and she is slowly accepting him, she has not let go of wanting to be with him until now. So the engagement or something, it was so sudden. She smiled awkwardly as she turned her attention to He Ting for help.
He Ting knew Gu Wan's thoughts, knew that she was not prepared, and did not even want to have a deeper relationship with him at all. So although he desperately hoped that this matter would become a reality and that Gu Wan would accept him, in order not to embarrass her, he still suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
His face did not show a trace of joy, but replied with a faint expression, "You better settle your own affairs first, and then care about my affairs." ”
This sentence made He Liancheng and Guan Min both very embarrassed.
He Liancheng was a little unhappy, the shallow smile on his face was so faint that he couldn't see it, and his voice was a little more stern, "Our adult's affairs don't affect you, what should you do." ”
He Ting put down his chopsticks and looked at He Liancheng, although there was no expression on his face, there was dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Why doesn't it affect?" What girl's parents do you think would be relieved that she would marry into such a chaotic family? ”
Although He Ting's words are reasonable, they are a bit too much for their parents.
Gu Wan showed the proper bearing of a virtuous helper in a timely manner, she grabbed He Ting's sleeve and persuaded softly, "Don't say it." ”
Then he looked at He Liancheng and said apologetically, "Uncle He, don't be angry, He Ting has been under a lot of pressure at work recently. ”
He Liancheng slapped his chopsticks on the table with a "snap" and snorted coldly, "Pressure? I think he's angry! ”
He Liancheng lost his temper, but Guan Min was unusually afraid. She stood up and said coldly, "I'm done, I'll go back to the room first, you can use it slowly." ”
He Liancheng's face immediately became even more ugly, and he yelled at her, "Stop!" ”
This time, Guan Min ignored him and turned around and left.
The son was disobedient, and the wife didn't give face, He Liancheng was suddenly so angry that he smoked. He didn't speak, his face was gloomy, and the atmosphere of the whole table was filled with a sense of oppression of black clouds and heavy rain.
Gu Wan had no choice but to pretend to be a quail, burying his head and not speaking.
After being silent for a long time, He Ting called the nanny and instructed, "Mother Wu, make a bowl of wontons for Madame and send it to her room, she likes to eat this, she should be able to eat some." ”
Mother Wu answered, and was about to do it, He Liancheng said angrily, "You don't need to cook it for her, she doesn't eat such a big table of dishes, and she won't starve to death if she eats less!" ”
Mother Wu was a little embarrassed for a while, and she didn't know who to listen to, so she looked at He Ting for help.
He Ting ignored He Liancheng, and still said to Wu's mother, "Wu's mother, go." ”
Wu's mother hurriedly slipped away with a "hey", for fear that He Liancheng would argue with He Ting again, and she would be in a dilemma.
Then, He Ting turned to He Liancheng again, still in a flat tone, but with some accusations, "Dad may not know, Mom's stomach is not very good." Although she doesn't eat much at every meal, she can't miss one meal, otherwise she will have a stomachache. ”
Even in front of He Liancheng, He Ting rarely called Guan Min his mother, and when he mentioned her, he mostly used disrespectful titles such as her, that woman. But his mother's voice and those words of concern made He Liancheng realize that although He Ting didn't like Guan Min, he still protected her. At the critical moment, he will still stand by her side without hesitation.
He Ting's move not only cared about Guan Min, but also put on a gesture to let He Liancheng understand his position.
He Liancheng looked at He Ting, this child he had always loved and taught by his own hands, had grown to the point where he had to compromise.
In the past, whatever He Ting wanted, he would still be coquettish and pleaded with him. Now he is standing on the opposite side of his equals and directly proposing reciprocal conditions. I really grew up and had full wings. Of course, he was pleased, but he was also a little sad about He Ting's silent but resolute resistance.
However, he also understood that Guan Min was still there, how could He Ting allow other women to take her place in the He family. Even if He Chen has no idea about the family property, I am afraid that he will not be able to accept a woman younger than her as a stepmother. He has been running in for more than ten years before accepting a Guan Min, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not even return home in the future.
On the way back, Gu Wan asked funny and puzzled, "You are father and son, what can't you say directly, why do you have to go around like this." ”
He Ting said helplessly, "I used to think so, but you know that once a person reaches a relatively high position, he can't talk to other people on an equal footing." It's like the ancient emperor, you can only follow him, and if you want to achieve something, you can only guide him and let him speak on his own.
My dad is the emperor of the He family, and he is also the emperor of our family. Therefore, many things do not need to be said too bluntly, otherwise it may cause discomfort to both parties, or even a father-son quarrel. not only hurts feelings, but also hurts harmony, and it doesn't end well in the end. So I just have to show my attitude and position, and he will make his own judgment. ”
Gu Wan sighed, "How tired." ”
He Ting sighed, "This is the education I have received since I was a child, and it can only be like this in the business field, so I have developed the habit of doing this when facing him." But fortunately, with you, only in front of you, can I be myself without scruples. ”
Gu Wan was suddenly confessed, and he had nothing to say, so he could only respond, "Okay." ”
He Ting thought for a while, and then explained to Gu Guan, "Guanguan, I didn't know about the two of us that my dad said today. I'm sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable, and I promise there won't be a next time. ”
In fact, when He Liancheng said that they should get engaged quickly, although he had expectations in his heart, he was even more worried. He was afraid that Gu Wan would feel uncomfortable, and he would have a showdown with him when he left the house. He could accept Gu Wan's hesitation and resistance to this matter, but what scared him the most was that she might still be ready to leave him at any time.
He Ting was still waiting for Gu Guan's reply, expecting her to say that it didn't matter, but Gu Wan gave him a great surprise.
She said, "The engagement is indeed a little too sudden, let's try to see if we are suitable for living together." ”
What Gu Wan meant by this was that agreeing to really be with him, and it was not hopeless to get engaged?
He Ting's excited foot slipped and almost stepped on the accelerator. He quickly parked the car on the side of the road, afraid that he would be too emotional and fly away.
He pounced in front of Gu Guan, two rays of light shot out of his eyes, and he asked in disbelief, "Guanguan, what did you say, you say it again?" ”
Gu Wan learned his tone and said impatiently, "I won't repeat the same sentence a second time, but I tell you, if you betray me, I will never see you again in my life." ”
He Ting was overjoyed and immediately promised, "I won't, I definitely won't!" ”
As he spoke, he leaned forward, wanting to kiss Gu Guan. Gu Wan was disgusted and pulled away with his ear, "Drive well, hurry home, I'm tired." ”
He Ting was stupidly happy with Gu Wan for a long time before starting the car again and driving home in a blooming mood. Although the engagement did not take place, it was an unexpected joy, and He Ting's excitement was beyond words.
Finally arrived home, as soon as he got out of the car, He Ting excitedly picked up Gu Wan and turned around several times.
Gu Wan was a little dizzy by him, and said angrily, "Let me go." ”
He Ting didn't turn around anymore, but he also hugged her and didn't let go, and said cheekily, "I won't let go, I want to hold you tightly and never let go." ”
So He Ting really kept hugging Gu Wan all the way into the house, and Gu Wan was very helpless about this.
