nWhen Su Rui arrived at the Gu family’s house, Mrs Gu was already waiting at the door of the Gu’s family house’s hall.

nYu Jing’s whole face was covered in a layer of a warm smile when she saw the steward inviting Su Rui in the house.

n“You are here, Rui Rui.”

n“I must have kept you waiting, Auntie Yu.” Su Rui also smiled and greeted her. She took out the gift prepared by her mother. She said, “My mother heard that Auntie Yu is researching on floral arrangement lately, so she has specially prepared some vases for you. I hope you like them.”

n“Ah, your mother is so thoughtful. I am recently obsessed with this. I’ll take you to see Auntie’s floral arrangement room later.

n“Alright.” Su Rui smiled and nodded.

n“And thank your mother for me.”

n“Yes, I will pass on the message to my mother that you, Auntie Yu, liked the gift.”

n……

nAfter chatting for a while, the atmosphere between the two people has become very relaxed.

nThe steward that stood by the sides looked at Su Rui in surprise and said to himself: this little girl is not a simple person eh.

nBut this didn’t have a derogatory meaning.

nThe steward just thought that the girl before his eyes had only said two to three sentences that made Madam so happy. She looks generous, and her personality seemed to be quite good.

nAfter sizing her up, he saw that Mrs Gu had pulled Su Rui into the house with a smile on her face.

n“I know you like painting, Rui Rui. Today, I have asked the people in my house to organise your Uncle Gu’s collection.”

n“Later, Auntie will bring you there to see.” Yu Jing said, and added, “But now, Rui Rui should be a bit hungry. Auntie has made a lot of desserts. It should be those that little girls like you like to eat. Come and have a taste of Auntie’s skills.”

nYu Jing is good at cooking, which is famous in the circle.

nHowever, in recent years, since her husband son are not often at home, and she was busy with her own affairs, Mrs Gu has rarely cooked.

nToday, Mrs Gu had made some desserts for Su Rui herself, which shows how much she values this girl.

nSu Rui obviously wouldn’t refuse such delicious food.

nMoreover, the desserts made by Mrs Gu was really delicious.

nIt was better than the legendary long-established store’s snack that she ate when she was on a business trip in G city.

nAs Yu Jing looked at how Su Rui maintained her demeanour while eating the desserts, yet she could not restrain with her eyes gleaming, Yu Jing couldn’t control her laughter. She felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

nAnyone who looks at someone enjoying what they have made would obviously be in a good mood.

nAfter that, Mrs Gu took Su Rui to the old Mr Gu’s collection room.

n“Are these all collected by the old Chairman Gu?” Looking at the painting that was hanging in the collection room of more than 100 square metres, Su Rui’s eyes twinkled as she asked with amazement.

n“What is with calling old Chairman Gu ah, just directly call Uncle Gu will do.” Mrs Gu said as she pointed to the other side and added, “There are others over there. They were all from different places where Uncle Gu went to search for them several years ago.”

n“Really?”

nSu Rui really liked this.

nIf it wasn’t that she didn’t have enough money, she would have studied art in college. Su Rui used to dream if one day she owned one million dollars, no, five million dollars, she would invest her money in XX bao1 or a certain product of the bank and hold a huge “interest” of thousands of yuan every day, so that she doesn’t need to work at all.

nThen, she can be a carefree and artistic artist. That would be so nice.

nOf course, that is just a thought. After transmigrating, she could really live a life without working and eating interest every day, which made her don’t think that way anymore.

nThus, every stratum has its own troubles.

nMrs Gu didn’t know what Su Rui was thinking. As she looked at Su Rui’s eyes that were bright and yearning, she thought that she found another thing that she could attract the little girl with.

nMadam Gu was secretly pleased. She took out her phone and called Gu Yu Cheng on the other side of the room as Su Rui was looking at the painting.

nOn the other end, in the chairman’s office at Gu enterprise.

n“Chairman, it is still Mrs Gu who is calling.” Wang Zhou, who was standing next to him, reminded as he saw the call reminder.

nThis madam has been calling for an entire afternoon. Chairman, don’t you really consider about answering it?

nAs Gu Yu Cheng heard this, his eyes sank and looked up at Wang Zhou.

n“What reason do you think Madam Yu is calling for at this time?”

n“Er, another blind date?” When this was mentioned, the expression on Wang Zhou’s face became very brilliant.

nFor the sake of the chairman’s marriage, Mrs Gu has really “worked from dawn to dusk”.

nThough, Wang Zhou has a sentence he wanted to say but dared not speak in front of Gu Yu Cheng.

nAs an ordinary person, he felt that Gu Yu Cheng doesn’t need to be so against marriage. Isn’t it just to find a suitable woman to live with?

nIf he is lucky, his wife will be a considerate and attentive little cotton-padded jacket2, isn’t that good?

nOf course, the premise must be a normal woman and a relationship of a regular marriage.

nAs he thought about those women who have gone crazy and tried their best to catch the attention in front of Gu Yu Cheng, Wang Zhou’s mouth suddenly twitched.

nIt seems that all of a sudden, he knew the reason why their chairman is so against women and blind dates.

n…

n“Not necessarily.” Gu Yu Cheng said.

nHe glanced at Madam Yu’s message where it was sent after he didn’t answer the phone: If you still recognise this mother, you must go home early today!

nEven though it is still one of her methods of ‘Firstly, to cry. Secondly, to make a fuss. Thirdly, to hang herself’, but this time Madam Yu actually asked him to return home.

nGu Yu Cheng’s eyes moved slightly.
