As expected, Mother Su pulled Su Rui and the next sentence she said was, “Rui Rui ah, regardless whether it is in marriage or life, there are very few chances of water flowing when a canal is formed[1]. Wine only gets better with age. You would still need to meet another person. Then, you would know whether this person is suitable or not. Don’t you think that I’m right?”

“Mum, I understand.” Su Rui agreed and smiled.

“Really?” Although Liu Yue noticed that her daughter did not seem to be very affected by this situation, she was still a little uneasy.

“Then, tell Mum, you think of Gu Yu Cheng as…” Liu Yue asked this halfway and turned to look nervously at Su Rui.It’s true that other than the issue of marriage, Gu Yu Cheng was excellent where even she was satisfied with him let alone a young girl who hasn’t matured.

Liu Yue asked this question because she was worried that her daughter would have fallen for him after spending time with him for a few days.

“Don’t worry, mum.” As Su Rui saw Madam Liu’s nervous expression, she smiled helplessly.

“I used to have feelings for Gu Yu Cheng because he is excellent in all aspects. I just thought that he’s very suitable as my other half.”

“But,” Su Rui paused and continued, “Since he didn’t consider this aspect, then we shouldn’t consider this anymore.”

“And Mum, I think Mrs Gu has misunderstood this matter too. I don’t know whether Gu Yu Cheng is able to explain clearly. Otherwise, can you tell Mrs Gu when you are free.” Su Rui said as she furrowed her eyebrows.

Liu Yue nodded and felt slightly relieved when she heard what her daughter had said, she witnessed how Su Rui’s expression was frank and calm, as her view on this matter was quite objective.

“Don’t worry about it. If it doesn’t work out, I will inform Yu Jing.”

Liu Yue said and looked at her daughter. She couldn’t help but grumble about Gu Yu Cheng in her heart.

“Heh! For him to miss you out, it is that boy’s, Gu Yu Cheng, loss! He will regret it in the future!” Liu Yue said discontendly.

As Su Rui saw how Liu Yue reacted, she knew that Mother Su had a filter of #Wang Po selling honeydew melon[2] in her head, but she was still amused by Mother Su’s imposing manner.

“Puh, you can’t say that.”

She wasn’t a house price in 2008 or the original stock of a Xbao[3], where she would be gone when they have missed her out.

Su Rui didn’t feel that Gu Yu Cheng would have any regrets.“Then, what do you think?” Liu Yue said as she pretended to glare at Su Rui. She had an appearance of #My daughter is the best, and any refutation is invalid.”

“We are not fated together.”

“But,” Su Rui frowned and continued, “Mum, let’s not mention this anymore ok?”

Wouldn’t it be good to let this embarrassing misunderstanding disappear like the wind?

“Ok, ok, ok. Let’s not mention it. Let’s not mention it.” Mother Su quickly changed her tone after she saw that her daughter seemed to be troubled by it.

“Our Rui Rui is so good, why would she be worried about not being able to get married?” Liu Yue said confidently.

In the circle, when they knew that her daughter returned, there were many that have inquired about her daughter publicly or privately to let her daughter and their children get to know each other.

If it wasn’t because she saw that the Gu boy and her daughter were in good progress, she wouldn’t have excluded those people.

Now that she thought about it, in their circle, other than Gu Yu Cheng, there are many outstanding boys.
