Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C19

“Come, sit down.” Old Man Gu nodded at the chair in front of him when he saw Gu Luocheng walk in. There wasn’t the slightest bit of emotion on his face; it was unfathomable.

He smiled as he sat down. He had been in society for many years and was able to deal with all sorts of people from the inner city with ease. However, he was still a bit nervous when facing Old Man Gu.

“Shen Xingyue is your assistant?” He carelessly fiddled with the pen in his hand and asked casually, but his gaze would occasionally pass by Gu Luocheng.

Gu Luocheng nodded. “The school arranged it.” He had already expected the old man to ask such a question. Although the old man would not take the field, his every move would not escape his notice.

“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. There are so many girls in the world, why did you choose her? Tell me, do you have some motive?” He raised his head and leaned back on his chair, looking at Gu Luocheng with a gentle smile.

The corner of his eye twitched, but he was also relieved. “But I just want her. What should I do?” He leaned forward, still smiling.

Narrowing his eyes, he similarly leaned forward and stared into Gu Luocheng’s eyes. That gaze seemed to be able to pierce into the heart, making people panic.

Their gazes met, and Old Man Gu chuckled lightly, “You’re willing, but what does that girl think? You can’t force her into a difficult situation.”

He rather admired Gu Luocheng. He had always felt that, of all the children, this kid was the most similar to him, so he cared more about Gu Luocheng.

“Then you can ask her. However, you should have heard about what Chen Yang did. Do you think that he and Xingyue will be happy?”

“What does their business have to do with you? Just mind your own business and quickly tell me what your purpose is.” Old Man Gu waved his hand.

Gu Luocheng smiled lightly as he leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and leisurely said, “I’m Shen Xingyue’s teacher now, so I can be considered her boss. Thus, I have to be in charge of her matters.” As for what my purpose is, that is my own business, so it is inconvenient for me to tell you. ”

“Oh, it’s not convenient to say that. That’s fine, but as long as I don’t give up now, there’s no way to break the engagement between Xing Yang and Xing Yue. As for you, you can just scram.” Old Man Gu immediately used his trump card when he saw that Gu Luocheng was playing a rogue with him.

Looking at Old Man Gu’s serious expression, Gu Luocheng was startled for a moment. He clenched his fists tightly. This old man really knew how to catch a person’s pigtails. I just like her. ”

Nodding his head, Old Man Gu smiled as he took out a cigar from the cigar box and lit it up, “Alright, call Xingyue up. I’ll have a chat with her, but let me tell you this. If she doesn’t want to be with you, you can’t force her.”

He stood up and walked out of the study. The moment he stood at the door, he let out a long breath.

“Grandfather, I want to cancel the engagement with Gu Chenyang.” The moment she entered, Shen Xingyue went straight in and revealed her purpose for coming here. She stood there in an urgent desire to leave Gu Chen Yang, not wanting to waste even a moment.

Old Man Gu had not expected Shen Xingyue to bring up this matter to him so suddenly, “What’s the reason?” He patted the sofa beside him, hinting that Shen Xingyue should sit down.

“We’re not suitable for each other.” After sitting down, Shen Meng and Chen Xingyue looked at Old Man Gu with determination.

“Then who do you think is suitable?”

“Eh …” Shen Xingyue was speechless for a moment. In fact, she still didn’t want to stay in the Gu family. She didn’t want to stay in this city, but thought about a small town where no one knew her and spent the rest of her life quietly with the children in the orphanage.

“What do you think of Luo Cheng?” Old Man Gu asked casually.

Shen Xingyue stared blankly at him for a moment before clenching her hands tightly. After a long time, she raised her head and said, “Calm down. You’re a modest and amiable person. You’re still a good person.”

“Child, you should understand what I’m asking.” After laughing loudly, Old Man Gu lightly patted Shen Xingyue’s shoulder. He already had some confidence in himself.

“I don’t know much about that.” He smiled shyly.

“Then you don’t like it?”

“How should I put it? As a professor, he has always been good to me, so I don’t hate him.”

“And as a lover?”

“About this …” Shen Xingyue lowered her head, not knowing how to reply. After thinking for a while, she raised her head and said, “Grandfather, how about this. I’ll be with him for a while before I give you my answer.

Old Man Gu nodded and didn’t say anything else. The room fell into silence in an instant. Shen Xingyue tightly clenched her hands. She sat uneasily at the side, waiting for Old Man Gu’s reply.

After a long while, Old Man Gu slowly stood up, “Let’s go downstairs to eat.”

Shen Xingyue hurriedly got up, wanting to ask for Old Man Gu’s opinion. However, the old man quickly walked out, giving her no chance to speak.

Sitting in the restaurant, Shen Xingyue kept looking at Old Man Gu. However, the old man didn’t even look at him as he continued to eat his food.

“Chen Yang, go to work at the company tomorrow and let your big brother manage you.” Old Man Gu finally broke the silence. He put down the tableware in his hand and leaned back in his chair.

Gu Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Old Man Gu in disbelief, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want me to participate in the company’s matters?” Since he was young, Old Man Gu had never allowed him to participate in anything related to the company. Yet, he was still a bit confused when Old Man Gu suddenly asked him to go to the company.

“You don’t have to do anything important, you just have to do some stuff. If I don’t give you something to do, then it’s time to cause trouble everywhere.” Her voice was low and deep, and her tone was irrefutable.

Hearing the old man’s words, Gu Chen Yang did not refute further. He was afraid that if he continued speaking, his grandfather would lose his temper again.

“Luo Cheng, you better take care of this kid. If he gets into any more trouble, I’ll ask you for help.” When he turned around and looked at Gu Luocheng, his tone had obviously eased up.

“Alright, I understand.” He wiped the corner of his mouth elegantly and leaned back on the chair, nodding his head lightly.

Shen Xingyue frowned as she looked at Gu Luocheng, not understanding the meaning behind her grandfather’s actions. After the old man finished his instructions, he didn’t mention anything about Shen Xingyue anymore and left the restaurant instead.

“That’s right, Chen Yang, let’s put aside the marriage between you and Xingyue for a while. Be at ease and be a good employee for me first.” When he reached the door, Old Man Gu suddenly stopped and turned his head.

After saying that, he quickly left the restaurant. However, the three people sitting in the restaurant had faces full of disbelief as they looked at each other.
