Chapter 1103 It's too late
Chapter 1103 It's already late
Most of the temperaments are actually accumulated with money, especially the elegant and luxurious temperament of middle-aged women. Anyone can see that they are particularly rich. After all, just buying cosmetics and various maintenance fees every year is not something that ordinary people can afford. No wonder rich people look very young.
For example, those old celebrities on TV, their peers are old and gray, with white hair and wrinkles on their faces, but they still look young, seemingly about twenty years younger than their peers. This is the magic of money.
When she saw Li Xiang, the smile on the middle-aged woman's face instantly frozen. She stared at Li Xiang tightly and didn't know what she was thinking.
A middle-aged woman, Gu Sining's mother, is named Min Shu, who is a scholarly family. She chose Gu Sining's father when he had nothing, and accompanied him to start from scratch and get to where he is today. Unfortunately, she cannot live until old age, because the man died in a car accident last month.
As a result, the Gu family fell into internal strife, and the orphan and widowed mother were left isolated.
After Gu Sining came in, she shouted "Mom" well
Li Xiang also shouted politely, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I've made you wait for a long time."
When Li Xiang finished saying this, he was still thinking that Gu Sining's mother looked very young. If she met this outside, he should be polite to call her sister. After all, women don't like others to call her too old.
But whether Gu Sining or Li Xiang spoke, Min Shu did not respond, but kept staring at Li Xiang. At this time, Li Xiang also found that Gu Sining's mother was looking at him, and she felt a little embarrassed to see him.
Gu Sining naturally discovered that she certainly knew why her mother was lost, because when she first met Li Xiang, she was a little confused. He was really too similar to her dead father. Apart from her age and height, she even looked at each other so well, which attracted her.
Otherwise, with such a Li Xiang, how could the extremely arrogant Gu Sining take the initiative to entangle?
Gu Sining was afraid that his mother would scare Li Xiang like this, so she walked over and held his mother's arm with a smile and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Min Shu only came to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure, but how could she not let her composure?
She greeted warmly, "You are Li Xiang, sit down quickly."
Li Xiang sat next to Gu Sining awkwardly. Although he didn't feel nervous, his relationship with Gu Sining was a joke after all, and he came to see the parents for no reason. He always felt strange and hoped to finish the program as soon as possible.
"You probably haven't eaten yet. Let's order the dishes first, and talk while eating," Min Shu said with a smile. She smiled very warmly, which made people feel quite comfortable.
As he said that, Min Shu called the waiter in and took the initiative to hand the menu to Li Xiang and said, "Li Xiang, you can see it first, don't be so restrictive, just treat me as an ordinary elder."
Li Xiang responded with awkward smile, not polite. After taking the menu, he ordered two dishes he liked, just as he thought it was the salary Gu Sining gave him.
Not long after, everyone ordered the dishes.
Min Shu asked again at this time, "Li Xiang, are you drinking?"
Before Li Xiang could speak, Gu Sining said, "Mom, Li Xiang can't drink alcohol, he feels a little uncomfortable."
"Oh, then I won't drink anymore. Drinking is not good. Sisi's father just loves drinking too much. He can't persuade him for so many years." Min Shu said with some emotion, but he was not disappointed. Her mood is still immersed in the moment when she first met Li Xiang, as if an old friend met.
If you don’t drink alcohol, you will only drink tea. Min Shu casually ordered the Mingqian Longjing on the pot.
Not long after, the waiter started serving the dishes. After all, there were only a few private rooms here, so the serving speed was naturally not slow.
As soon as he started eating, Min Shu asked directly, "Li Xiang, how old is this year? Are you from Chengdu?"
"Auntie, I'm 32 years old this year. I'm not from Chengdu, but from Guizhou. I've just been in Chengdu for only two months." Li Xiang explained truthfully. He believed that this age alone would scare Gu Sining's mother. After all, she is six years older than Gu Sining, and the difference in age is a bit big.
After hearing Li Xiang's words, Min Shu frowned slightly and subconsciously looked at her daughter. She didn't expect that Li Xiang was six years older than her daughter, and she was not a native of Chengdu.
Gu Sining was not embarrassed, but said, "Mom, isn't my dad too old than you?"
"Li Xiang, are there anyone else in Guizhou? Will you settle in Chengdu or go back to your hometown in the future?" Min Shu continued to ask.
Li Xiang said lightly, "There are no people in my hometown. My parents died early. They have always followed my aunt for life. My aunt is also in Chengdu now. As for the future, I don't know. I want to settle in Chengdu, but the housing prices in Chengdu are too expensive. I guess I can't afford a house in my life, so I may go back to my hometown."
What Li Xiang means is that I have no money and can’t afford a house, so the probability of returning to my hometown in the future is relatively high.
Min Shu doesn't care about this. These things may be difficult for others, but they are nothing to the Gu family. As long as Li Xiang is capable, is their Gu family still lacking a house?
Therefore, Min Shu said tactfully, "As long as young people are motivated, they can buy a house whenever they want, and they can just have a place to live. I just don't know what job you are doing now?"
Hearing this, Li Xiang felt that he had finally gotten the point. Auntie hopes that I will tell you in the future, don’t scare you. I didn’t mean it. I’m telling the truth. If you want to blame me, blame your daughter.
"Auntie, I have a good job. I deliver express delivery during the day. Now I can earn money when I deliver express delivery. As long as I work harder, it is easy to make seven or eight thousand yuan a month. At night, I will be a resident singer in a bar, and I like to listen to singing, so I found such a job. Not long after I went to Jiuyanqiao, I can earn two or three hundred yuan in a bar. If I go to a few more bars, my monthly income will be more than I deliver express delivery. As long as I can last for a few years, I will not be able to buy a house." Li Xiang deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, just to give Gu Sining's mother the impression that I am a frog in the well, so that Gu Sining's mother will not fall in love with him even if she beats her to death.
But what surprised Li Xiang was that Gu Sining's mother did not react after hearing this, but just stared at Li Xiang with a smile. After all, she had known what Li Xiang did for a long time, and just asked casually to see what Li Xiang would say.
If Li Xiang had told the truth, she would think this young man was pretty good, but if she lie for the sake of face, her impression of Li Xiang would be greatly reduced.
In the end, Li Xiang gave the truth, which made Min Shu very satisfied.
However, Li Xiang was a little confused.
Gu Sining over there quietly looked at Li Xiang, muttering in his heart that I asked you to act, and you can act well for me.
"Li Xiang, have you ever thought about changing jobs?" Min Shu directly threw out the olive branch. If Li Xiang is willing, she can give Li Xiang a very high platform.
Li Xiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Auntie, I don't even have an education, what else can I do? I'll be the only coolie left."
"Li Xiang, heroes don't ask where they come from. Education is just a kind of ability. Without education does not mean they have no ability. Many people just lack a good platform. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Sisi. Have you ever thought about these things?" Min Shu did not hit Li Xiang, but said so.
Li Xiang really thought about it, Auntie, I really never thought about these things. Your daughter just wants me to be happy. Are you serious?
However, Li Xiang could only say, "Auntie, what you said is, I know I am not worthy of Sisi now. Even if you agree, I will not agree. So I will consider what you said. When my aunt comes back, I will discuss with my aunt."
"Well, I'm very pleased that you can think of this. Auntie won't despise you because of your age, background and work. I once said to Sisi's father that we will support anyone Sisi likes, as long as she likes it. Even if we are sweeping the road, we don't have any objection to this, so don't worry about this. But no matter how others look at Sisi or you, that's your business, you have to think carefully," Min Shu said with great thoughts as if he had experienced it.
After hearing this, Li Xiang finally understood what was going on. It turned out that Gu Sining's mother was thinking this way. No wonder he didn't take Gu Sining's mother seriously. It felt like he was doing useless work, and no wonder Gu Sining dared to bring him to see his parents.
But thinking about it on the other hand, Li Xiang was quite moved. In the environment like the Gu family, it is rare and precious that Gu Sining's parents can be so enlightened, so it is really lucky that Gu Sining can have such parents.
Li Xiang was completely defeated and had to say, "Auntie, you are right, I understand."
Later, the atmosphere was not as awkward as it was at the beginning. Li Xiang still answered Min Shu's words so uncontrollable. He replied whatever Min Shu asked, and Gu Sining said more afterwards, and most of the time he was adjusting the atmosphere.
Li Xiang left not long after this supper, because he had to continue to go to the bar to sing on the resident song, and Min Shu did not stop him, and asked the driver to send him directly, but kept Gu Sining.
"Si Si, tell mom, are you joking or serious? I know you like him maybe because he has the shadow of your father. When my mother first met him, she was stunned. She really looked very similar to your father when she was young, but love and marriage are not a joke. The gap between you is too big, do you understand?" Min Shuyu said earnestly.
Gu Sining no longer makes a fuss like in front of Li Xiang, but replied, "Mom, I know, I dare not say that I like him now, but let's talk about it slowly. If I really like him, I will choose him regardless of everything."
"Besides, Sisi, at this time, you are looking for him as your boyfriend, what will your uncle think? Our orphan and widowed mother are not his opponent at all, and Li Xiang is not capable of helping us. I am afraid that your uncle will think too much, which will be unfavorable to Li Xiang at that time." When talking about this, Min Shu said in a heavy tone.
Since Gu Sining's father passed away, the group has completely split. Seeing that the group established by Gu Sining's father is about to fall into the hands of others, the mother and daughter have no choice because everyone is supporting Gu Sining's uncle.
No one dared to offend Uncle Gu Sining behind him.
Thinking of this, Gu Sining was also a little scared. If this was the case, Li Xiang would indeed be in danger because of her. She had to say, "Mom, I'll think about it again."
Min Shu sighed at this time, "I'm afraid it's too late."
Why? Because the information about Li Xiang was told by Gu Sining's uncle.
