Chapter 854


    After Gu Jingyuan got into the car, he realized that he was still holding the flower in his hand. He


    reached out to take a book from the side and picked up the flower.


    As he drove, Liang Xinran''s words still echoed in his ears.


    Actually, adult feelings had always been straightforward and frank. It was not that Gu Jingyuan did


    not understand.


    He just wasn''tpletely ready for that.


    Yue residence.


    Oíd Madam Yue sat high and mighty in her seat.


    She was in herte seventies, hale and hearty, and her face was taut and looked hard to approach.


    Yue Xiu sat beside her and poured her a cup of tea. She handed it over gently. "Grandma, please


    have some tea."


    Oíd Madam Yue did not take the cup. Instead, she said calmly, "You''re also an outstanding talent of


    the Yue family. Why can''t you even defeat Shi Jin?"

    What happened some time ago eventually reached Oíd Madam Yue''s ears.


    Yue Xiu knew that her grandmother liked capable people the most. No matter who it was, as long as


    they could contribute to the family, she was happy.


    Those who were more useless, such as Yue Lanchen in the past, even if he was a boy, Oíd Madam


    Yue could not help but nitpick. She was ver y dissatisfied with Yue Lanchen.


    However, recently, Yue Lanchen''s rise had caused Yue Xiu''s status to drop.


    She was also sad as she ced the teacup in front of Oíd Madam Yue. "Grandma, it''s all because


    the people I support are useless, so they can''tpete with Shi Jin. Logically speaking, Shi Jin


    doesn''t have the ability topete. However, Shi Jin is cióse to Second Uncle''s family, so..."


    Oíd Madam Yue had never been satisfied with Yue Feng.


    Although this son was quite capable, he was soft-hearted and liked to listen to Madam Yue. Back


    then, Madam Yue was not a suitable daughter-inw for Oíd Madam Yue, so their rtionship had


    not been harmonious all these years.


    "He''s really biased to outsiders! No wonder Shi Jin is fearless. So she has this help."


    Yue Xiu remained silent. As for Shi Jin helping Yue Lanchen, she did not mention it.


    Oíd Madam Yue said, "You''re not young anymore. Other than work, it''s time to consider


    rtionships."


    "Yes, Grandma is right."


    "Is there anyone you like?"


    Yue Xiu had always had high standards. She wanted the person to have good character and to


    have a family background even better than hers. This made her encounter quite a bit of resistance


    in choosing a boyfriend.


    After all, who else could have a better family background than the Yue family?


    Oíd Madam Yue knew that she had standards and agreed with her. She said, "I think that Gu


    Jingyuan from the Li family is not bad."


    "He''s not bad? Hasn''t the Li family already declined?"


    "The Li family is indeed inferior to before. However, I''ve already asked around. Gu Jingyuan''s


    current pharmaceuticalpany has developed a new medicine that is the lifeline of many


    countries. No matter how developed a country is, they have no choice but to buy medicine from


    him. He is now very popr in the entire International pharmaceutical world. There are countless


    people who want to marry him. From what I know, there are many big shots in the European and


    American inves"I''ment circles who want to marry their daughters to him."


    When Yue Xiu heard this, she realized that Gu Jingyuan''s rise had far exceeded her imagination.


    In that case, Gu Jingyuan was indeed a good candidato.


    Except...


    She looked troubled.


    "Are you afraid that you and Shi Jin will have a grudge and affect this matter? Seriously, how can


    marriage be more important than you children ying house? As long as you settle Gu Jingyuan


    and his family, what impact can Shi Jin have?"


    Oíd Madam Yue looked down on Shi Jin. Wasn''t she just from the entertainment industry? Those


    who followed her were just fans who knew nothing. Oíd Madam Yue''s disdain was obvious.


    Yue Xiu was enlightened by her and gradually agreed with her grandmother''s words.


    Oíd Madam Yue said, "You have to be able to stay open-minded. If you’re stopped by a youngdy,


    how can you still be a member of the Yue family?"


    ***


    Gu Jingyuan was very surprised to receive the news that Yue Xiu was treating him to a meal.


    However, it was indeed not convenient for him to reject Yue Xiu''s identity before he understood her


    intentions.


    Gu Jingyuan changed into formal attire and went to the appoin"I''ment.


    When he walked into the hotel restaurant, Yue Xiu was already there.


    She had exquisito makeup and was wearing an evening gown. It was obvious that she took


    tonight''s meal very seriously.


    "Miss Yue." Gu Jingyuan walked over and shook her hand politely.


    "If Mr. Gu doesn''t mind, you can just cali me by my ?ame. Can I also cali you by your ?ame?"


    "Either works."


    Gu Jingyuan sat down and asked straightforwardly, "Miss Yue, why did you ask me out?"


    "Shall we order and talk while we eat?" Yue Xiu held out the menú.


    Gu Jingyuan took it and ordered dishes.


    The two of them chatted for a while. Halfway through the meal, Gu Jingyuan said, "Miss Yue, are


    you looking for me for something serious?"


    "I''m a little embarrassed to say this, but my grandmother was going to find someone and introduce


    us. I thought rather than getting someone to introduce us, why can''t I just cali you and meet you? It


    would be convenient."


    "I see. Now we are acquainted."


    "That''s right. We''ll keep in touch from now on," Yue Xiu said with a smile. "My grandmother has


    always liked you. She said you''re a rare talent in this generation and will defmitely have great


    prospects in the suture."


    "Oíd Madam Yue tters me."


    "Jingyuan, the Li family has been working hard in the imperial capital for so many years. If the Li


    family and the Yue family cooperate, I believe there will be a more promising future."


    Yue Xiu finally revealed her true intentions.


    Although Gu Jingyuan had already expected this, he was still surprised to hear this.


    The Li family had not interacted with the Yue family for many years, and their rtionship was very


    indifferent. Ever since the Li family faded out of the four major families, they had been dim in the


    capital.


    This time, Yue Xiu actually personally expressed her goodwill. How could Gu Jingyuan not


    understand that they had taken a fancy to his current career?


    Otherwise, with the arrogance of the Yue family, why would they take the initiative to express


    goodwill?


    Yue Xiu''s tone was rare.


    Gu Jingyuan smiled faintly. "The Yue family should have many partners. If there''s a chance in the


    future, we can naturally cooperate."


    Seeing that he was pretending to not know her true intentions, Yue Xiu had no choice but to make


    things olear. "What my grandmother means is that if we form a marriage alliance, it will be more


    secure for the future interests of the two families. Jingyuan, yon know that our Yue family doesn''t


    Gu Jingyuan understood that the marriage should be between him and Yue Xiu.


    Yue Xiu was not considered a top-notch beauty, but frankly speaking, a woman with her resources


    was top-notch in all aspects.
