179 Accompany me for a candlelight dinner tonight?
"I've just arrived. Come on, take a seat."
Situ Lin, who is over the middle of his life, is still full of energy. When he was young, he paid great attention to maintenance and exercise, so even when he is approaching retirement age, the man's temperament is still very energetic and his skills are also very agile.
He is still sitting in the position of director and will retire in two years. Gu Yanshen also respects this elder very much.
The two men sat across from each other. Situ Lin didn't have the habit of smoking, but knowing that Gu Yanshen had always smoked, he put the ashtray in front of him with a smile. He didn't like to mince words, and it had something to do with his career.
When he was looking at Gu Yanshen, he was also outspoken.
"Yanshen, we originally agreed to have dinner together, but we happen to have something to deal with in the evening. Will it affect your work if I ask you to come out to see me now?"
"No, I just happened to come over and have something to do." Gu Yanshen reached out and tugged on his shirt cufflinks with a calm tone.
Situ Lin smiled and nodded, "I came to you in a hurry this time because of Xiaoyan's matter. I think you should have some ideas."
Gu Yan deeply lit a cigarette, took a breath, and nodded, "Uncle Situ, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Situ Lin nodded, "I just happened to be passing through the UK this time, so I stopped by to see Xiaoyan. Some time ago, there was a sudden report, and it made a fuss here in C City. Xiaoyan's mother asked me, who are you?
What's going on, you also know that Xiao Yan's mother has always doted on Xiao Yan, but she was afraid that she would have any bad influence."
Gu Yanshen said nothing, frowned, and casually dusted off the cigarette ashes with his long fingers.
"So this time I went to see Xiao Yan, but she didn't say anything to me. As you know, Xiao Yan has always liked you very much and trusted you. She felt that such reports were too
It’s normal, and there’s no conflict at all. Then I happened to meet your mother again, and she told me something—”
Gu Yanshen was not surprised. Situ Lin came to him specifically because of the previous report. He probably had some idea of what his mother had said to him. After pondering for a moment, he spoke out. The man's voice was deep.
, "Uncle Situ, I want to explain this matter to you personally. It was also because you were not in City C before. Since you came to me specifically because of this matter this time, I will make it clear to you."
"Yanshen, I have always known that you are a very independent person and a man who always speaks your mind. My uncle has always admired you. I naturally believe what you say, but what your mother... told me
, I also think it makes sense.”
Gu Yan lowered his eyes deeply, gently turning the half-smoked cigarette between his thumb and index finger, and then heard Situ Lin say straight to the point: "You also know that I don't like to talk in secret, so I just said it straight away - your mother told me
, In two years, when Xiaoyan graduates, you will be engaged first. She told me that you agreed to this matter."
agree?
This matter is not considered consent. Gu Yanshen also knew in his heart that when his mother said it, he only had a perfunctory attitude and did not express his position in words, because he always believed that too much can be changed in two years.
Things and everything are uncertain, not to mention that at that time, my mother still added a condition - if he did not find the right woman for him.
At that time, he just wanted to appease his mother first. Naturally, the so-called "appropriateness" may not be strong at that time.
But now, it's obviously different.
Gu Yanshen raised his eyes, raised the hand holding the cigarette to his lips, puffed out the clouds, and then said, "Uncle Situ, there is still a little misunderstanding about that report, but I think the impact is not very big, so I
I won’t say much more. As for what my mother told you, I know what it means. You came to me today probably because you want to hear my opinion."
"Yes, Yan Shen, I have always seen your relationship with Xiao Yan. My daughter, you know how innocent that girl is. I, as a father, also understand her feelings for you.
, it may not be considered a deep love between a man and a woman now, so I have to confirm your thoughts."
"I have always regarded Xiaoyan as my biological sister."
Gu Yanshen spoke frankly. Seeing the emotion flashing through Situ Lin's eyes, he stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his slightly dry thin lips, "...I know what my mother is thinking, but it was also because of myself at the beginning.
The reason. Since today, Uncle Situ, you came to ask me personally what I think, then I will tell the truth, I like Xiaoyan, but it is just the eldest brother’s love for my sister. I will also take good care of her. I’m really sorry for the previous report. I will never
This won't happen. As for my mother's suggestion, Uncle Situ, you can laugh it off."
Gu Yanshen's words have been made very clear.
He implicitly stated that everything before was a misunderstanding, and his feelings for Situ Yan were just that of brother and sister.
Situ Lin is also a person of status. Even in his heart, he still vaguely hopes that this man who has skill, talent, and also considerable responsibility can really become his son-in-law. But now, he said it so straightforwardly, Situ Lin
Lin naturally couldn't say anything more.
He nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, if you told me so, then I'll have an idea."
…………
The two chatted casually for a few more words, and finally Situ Lin answered the phone. It must be something important. Gu Yanshen only heard him say "city B", hung up the phone, and left in a hurry.
Gu Yanshen sat alone in the box and smoked another cigarette in silence. Finally, he called Ji Yang and told him to prepare a ticket to England tomorrow before he got up and left.
——It seems that the mother should ventilate her.
Gu Yanshen has always been calm in doing things, and he needs to be more cautious when it comes to Zijin. The current situation is quite confusing. He doesn't want his mother to reject Zijin too much in the future, but Zijin's identity
, and too sensitive. According to my mother’s personality, it is impossible for her to accept it all at once.
Therefore, the key lies in yourself.
At least, the most important thing now is to interrupt her thoughts about the Situ family, so that she can slowly accept the woman she wants to have.

As soon as Zijin prepared what he had on hand, he saw Mu Chenchu standing at the door of his office.
"No, there is a document here, and it still needs your signature. This project is considered completed, and the follow-up is someone else's business."
Seeing Mu Chenchu's weak look, Zijin felt a little guilty. After signing her name under the document, she whispered: "...I'm sorry, Chenchen, I've worked really hard for you during this time. Are you tired?"
"fine."
Mu Chenchu shook his head absentmindedly, paused, and suddenly a light flashed through his dark eyes, "Zijin, yesterday I... suddenly received a call. Do you know who it was?"
Seeing her being so startled, Zijin felt surprised, "Whose phone number?"
"Do you still remember what I told you about your first love?"
Zi Jin frowned and tried hard to recall, but he really remembered, "...that is, what was the name of the elder brother who used to live in a courtyard with you?"
"Li Yu." Mu Chenchu's red lips moved slowly and he read out these two words with a soft voice.
"What's wrong? Did he call you?"
Zijin saw the expectant look on his friend's face, and his heart moved slightly. If she hadn't made a mistake in guessing, that Su Junyan... seemed to have some interest in Chenchen. Although she wasn't too interested in things like feelings.
He was good at it, but he wasn't really a clueless person. When this project came to the last moment, Gu Yanshen always told him not to get involved and let Mu Chenchu get the information. Zijin had that feeling, and he always felt that Gu Yanshen was
On purpose.
Of course, what she thought was intentional was that Su Junyan asked Gu Yanshen to do it.
But now, Mu Chenchu suddenly mentioned his first love. It was probably true. He had no feelings for Su Junyan, right?
"Yes, I always thought that I might never see Li Yu again in this life. I didn't expect that he would still remember me. He called me yesterday and asked someone to get his number. He said he would be back in a month.
He asked me if I still remember him."
"…………"
Mu Chenchu put his chin in his hands, lying on his desk, talking to himself, clearly showing some girlish feelings, "... Of course I remember him, he suddenly said he was coming back, which made me also
I'm getting nervous, Zijin, I...ah, Mr. Gu!"
As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Mu Chenchu saw Gu Yanshen standing at the door. She stood up quickly, her face a little embarrassed, "... Well, I'll leave first, Zijin, remember to call me tonight."
After speaking, he hurriedly left the office.
Zijin, "…………"
I wonder how much Gu Yanshen heard just now and when did he come here? She didn't even notice what Chen Chen just said. He wouldn't tell Su Junyan later, would he?
Zijin weighed it in his mind and said, "...Well, did you hear that just now?"
"What did you hear?"
Gu Yanshen closed the door of the office, stepped forward, and took his little woman into his arms, dragging her slender waist with both hands, and their bodies were immediately close to each other, "I don't care about other people's affairs, I just
Women who care about themselves.”
The low voice was close to Zi Jin's cochlea. When he heard him say the words "my own woman", a warm current surged through Zi Jin's heart.
She stretched out her hand, took the initiative to wrap her arms around the man's waist, and buried her face in his chest.
The topic was naturally brought up, and Gu Yanshen rubbed her little face with his big palm, and then said after a moment: "I came back specially to pick you up from get off work, and you will have dinner with me tonight, a candlelight dinner, okay?"
Zijin, "…………"
