“Ah!”

As soon as Su Rui took two steps towards the direction the waiter pointed at, she collided with a tall, robust body and subconsciously exclaimed.

Suddenly colliding with someone, Gu Yu Cheng’s countenance flashed with a touch of coldness. He lowered his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him. In Gu Yu Cheng’s unfriendly eyes, other than disgust, there also seemed to be a faint trace of disdain.

President Gu had seen many of these petty and tiresome means.

What would the next step be? A sprained foot? Or did one of the accessories she was wearing fall off?

Gu Yu Cheng subconsciously took a guess at Su Rui’s next move. However to Gu Yu Cheng’s surprise, before he pushed the woman away, the other side quickly stabilised her body and stepped back, widening the distance between them.

“Sorry I collided with you, I was walking too hurriedly.” Su Rui raised her head and apologised automatically to the person she had bumped into.

She wasn’t sure whether it was a theory of a friend in her past life, but the rich would marry those who were beautiful, which would then make the family gene optimised as the beauty of the offspring would increase.

It had been a few days since Su Rui was discharged from the hospital. She had seen more of the beautiful men and women in the world than she had ever seen in her last life.

But in front of her, the man in a suit and leather shoes who had a cold facial expression was the most beautiful of all.

‘My friend really did not deceive me.’

Su Rui lamented in her heart as her brain immediately returned to normal.

She hadn’t forgotten that she was there for a blind date.

“Sorry.” Su Rui apologised again. Seeing that the other side seemingly didn’t have the intention to not let the matter go, she bypassed the man and continued to walk towards the bathroom.

Turning his head and seeing the figure disappearing around the corner, Gu Yu Cheng’s indifferent face cracked for the first time.

He had misunderstood.

This conclusion made Gu Yu Cheng feel a little awkward.

At the same time, towards that unfamiliar woman, he inexplicably felt apologetic in his heart.

Gu Yu Cheng pursed his lips and looked away, turning to walk towards the end of the corridor in the direction Su Rui had come from before.

Su Rui, who was going to the bathroom, knew nothing about it.

After tidying the hair that had come loose and fallen on her cheeks because of the collision, Su Rui’s face flashed a dazzling smile as she looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the mirror.

This body’s face and her face from her past life were about the same.

The only difference was that after lying in a hospital for three years, Su Rui’s face had long been haggard, thin, pale and full of lesions, which wasn’t what a girl in her early twenties should look like.

Currently, the healthy, white and delicate face which brimmed with youthfulness was very distant from the her in Su Rui’s memories.

“It’s good to be alive.” Su Rui made some funny expressions with her face.

Before Su Rui had had time to enjoy her life, she had passed away. This time, she would not waste her chance. Going on a holiday, getting married, what others have, she would also have!

After coming out of the bathroom, Su Rui’s countenance returned to normal.

On the other side, in the private room.

Liu Yue chatted enthusiastically with Mrs. Gu about light topics, though she still maintained her reservedness. And of course, she also chatted with Gu Yu Cheng who had just entered.

Liu Yue was feeling a little flustered. It had been some time since Rui Rui left the room, why wasn’t she back yet?

As a mother, she hadn’t been fooled by her daughter, right?

Just as Liu Yue’s mind began to think that Rui Rui had gone somewhere else to play and she started to wonder how she would end the date as peacefully as possible, the private room’s door finally opened.

“Sorry, I’ve kept you waiting.”

When Su Rui entered the private room, she saw Mrs. Su who had an excited expression, a woman of the same age and temperament as Mrs. Su who was sitting opposite to her, and then she saw the person sitting next to the woman.

“Eh? It’s you?”

Su Rui was a bit surprised.

Su Rui didn’t care too much about the little incident in the corridor before but she hadn’t expected that they would meet again so soon.

Moreover, from the current situation in the private room, this person seemed to be the date Mother Su had arranged for her today.

“Do you know each other?” Su Rui’s words caught the attention of both parents.

“No, we just happened to bump into each other in the corridor.” Su Rui explained, turning her head and nodding in the direction of Gu Yu Cheng. “What a coincidence.”

“Then you two are predestined.” Mrs. Gu smiled, her eyes amicable as they sized up Su Rui.

When the girl opened the door, she had caught his attention because this girl’s looks were so outstanding that people couldn’t fail to notice her.

Su Rui’s appearance was not very cute or pure, nor did she look like the girl next door type that made others put down their guard at a glance. Su Rui’s good looks were mesmerising, and it was that kind of beauty that was bright and dazzling.

To be honest, such looks did not easily please elders, especially the future mother in law. However, such an eye-catching appearance, coupled with the sincere and benign smile Su Rui currently had along with her clean temperament, made people feel that there was no sense of contradiction.

In any case, the beauty standards were met.

“Xiao Yue, this is your daughter right? She is so beautiful!” Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

“Yes, this is my daughter Su Rui.” In Madam Su’s heart, her daughter was the prettiest. She was very pleased when she heard others call her daughter beautiful.

“Rui Rui, this is Auntie Yu^[1]. Mum and Auntie Yu have known each other for many years.”

This Auntie Yu, who was mentioned occasionally by Mother Su, was a high school classmate. Although their friendship didn’t reach the level of girlfriends, they had known each other for many years. Later, one married to Su Hong Yuan and the other married into the Gu family. Their identities were similar. In the circle of rich ladies, their friendship was good.

At home, when Su Rui was surfing the Internet before, she seemed to have seen Mrs. Gu around. Mrs. Gu seemed very Niu X^[2].

But Su Rui didn’t care much about that.

Su Rui had been a poor person for more than 20 years. For a poor person, there was no difference between a hundred million and a quadrillion.

“Hello, Auntie Yu.” Su Rui politely greeted her.

‘En. Good girl, this is a gift from Auntie Yu. It’s for you.” Mrs. Gu took out a delicate box and gave it to Su Rui.

“This…” They had just met. Although this was a blind date, the ba zi^[3] hadn’t even been exchanged yet, it seems to be somewhat inappropriate to receive gifts.

“Oh, look at you. You have prepared a gift. Look at me, as an elder, I forgot to prepare a gift for my nephew.” Seeing her daughter’s embarrassment, Liu Yue said that to help ease the situation, though it wasn’t a lie.

Even though she was the one pushing Su Rui to have a blind date, her daughter was still young. She wanted Su Rui to meet more people but she didn’t plan on letting her daughter get married so soon.

On the other hand, the things Yu Lan had prepared were simply too much.

“How can it be the same? Yu Cheng and your Lao Su must have met before. Didn’t Rui Rui just return back? Come on, take it, it’s a gift from Auntie to celebrate Rui Rui returning home.”

“Thank you, Auntie Yu.”

“You’re welcome,” said Mrs. Gu, with a smile.

She liked the little girl more and more after seeing her face to face.

She was beautiful, speaking and behaving appropriately. At present, she had a good personality. She was not arrogant or impetuous with her young age. Their family background was also similar to their family.

Of course, the most crucial point was Su Rui’s attitude towards Gu Yu Cheng.

Before, Gu Yu Cheng was also tricked by Mrs. Gu to go on several blind dates and the girls she had picked were also good ladies from big houses that had been praised by others.

But who knew that the blind dates she arranged for her son were only acting in that way after knowing that she was Madame Gu. The girls would speak a lot of flattery, which the girls thought was brilliant but disgusted Mrs. Gu.

And as soon as they saw Gu Yu Cheng, they would try and paste their whole body onto her son.

Not even mentioning Gu Yu Cheng’s feelings, Mrs. Gu also couldn’t stand it.

After several tries, Mrs. Gu almost lost confidence in blind dates.

However, who knew that she would happen to overhear at a party that Liu Yue’s daughter returned to the country. Then, when she casually talked about it to Mrs. Su, she hadn’t expected that it would give her this big surprise.

Mrs Gu. noticed that from the moment Su Rui stepped in, Su Rui hadn’t looked at her son from beginning to the end, except for talking to him courteously in the beginning. Instead, she was talking to her elders seriously. This was what a blind date should look like!

Mrs. Gu sighed in her heart.

Of course, she was confident that no girl wouldn’t like her son. Thus, Su Rui’s performance was naturally understood by Mrs. Gu as cultured, cultivated and reserved.

After evaluating Su Rui secretly, Mrs. Gu finally thought of the person sitting by her side who had been successfully ignored for the first time and was left hanging for a long time.

“Here, Auntie Yu will introduce you to my son, Gu Yu Cheng. He is several years older than you. You can call him Cheng ge ge.^[4]” Mrs Gu warmly introduced.

Just that…

Ge ge?

Wait what, what was up with this strange way in addressing him.

Although Su Rui was only 20 years old now and was still a little girl in light of the nine laws and three-five^[5], to let her, an old woman with a soul the age of 26, call a man she just met ge ge… Su Rui felt like she would be struck by thunder.

“Hello, Mr. Gu.” Su Rui greeted Gu Yu Cheng politely.

“Hello.” Gu Yu Cheng opened his mouth and replied. When listened carefully, there was a trace of unnaturalness in the low and magnetic voice.

Gu Yu Cheng didn’t have much experience communicating with women. Usually, when he met women who stuck themselves to him, Gu Yu Cheng would have two ways to deal with them; ignore them, or let the other party disappear from his eyes.

However, when he faced this girl, Gu Yu Cheng couldn’t use those methods.

Because the other party’s attitude was earnest and her serious attitude was not towards him, but towards the blind date itself.

“By the way, Rui Rui since you are back in the country, you should be in your 3^rd year. I heard from your mother that you are going to B university, right?”

On one side, Mrs. Gu, who knew her son’s conduct well, knew that her son would not say anything after responding, so she quickly picked up the conversation and asked Su Rui.

“Yes.”

“That’s great. Your brother graduated from B university. He can be regarded as your senior.”

“…” Su Rui didn’t know why Mrs. Gu was so persistent about her addressing him as Cheng ge ge. She could only smile and not talk.

“What major is Rui Rui going to study?”

When this question was asked, Su Rui’s expression became more serious.

“I like painting very much, so I will continue to study in that field. However, it will be my second major. I would like to choose my first major as economic management since it is a more practical choice.”

As soon as Su Rui said this, not only was Mrs. Gu surprised, but Mrs. Su, who was sitting beside her daughter, was very surprised as well.

She always doted on her daughter, especially after the accident.

Originally, Liu Yue was delighted that Su Rui would stay in China and no matter what major Su Rui chose, She and Lao Su would not stop her.

It’s just that Su Rui had planned her own major and even chose the management major she hadn’t liked in the past.

The rich’s sons choose the major of management just to not find a job.

It turned out that without them knowing, their daughter had already grown up so much?

Liu Yue decided to tell Lao Su the good news as soon as she returned home. Also, didn’t Rui Rui’s aunt own an art gallery in the United States? They would cover all the expenses.

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Su, who were present there, had the same views.

“You are lucky, Xiao Yue.”

“No, I’m afraid that it is only a three-minute passion^[6].”

“How could that be, I don’t think Rui Rui has that kind of three-minute passion personality.” Said Mrs. Gu, looking at Su Rui with a smile. “But after all, Auntie Gu doesn’t understand these things about management. If you don’t understand anything in your studies, you can ask your Cheng ge ge.”

“Right, Yu Cheng?” Mrs. Gu warned Gu Yu Cheng with her eyes, which meant that #if you don’t say yes, you may lose your mother at a young age.# But then, Gu Yu Cheng’s mobile phone suddenly rang.

^[1] 余阿姨(yuè ā yí)- the word Yue refers to Mrs. Gu’s name, Liu Yue and in this situation, Auntie, doesn’t refer to her relative but a respectful way of addressing someone of the age of her mother/an elder.

^[2] 牛X (niú)- directly translate to Bull/cow X. It is a colloquial term used by the youngsters to describe someone who is terrific, or he can do things that ordinary people can’t do.

^[3] 八字- (Bā zì) – birthdate characters used in fortune-telling

^[4] 城哥哥(chéng gē ge)- cheng refers to Gu Yu Cheng’s last word in his name, and Ge Ge would mean older brother. In this situation, it is a rather affectionate way of addressing Gu Yu Cheng.

^[5] 三五(sān wǔ)- It has a few meanings, but I think in this situation, it would mean three lives and five deaths(?).

^[6] 三分钟热度(sān fēn zhōng rè dù)- 3-minute passion is a Chinese saying which refers to a person having a limited passion, or a passion that doesn’t last long toward something/someone that he/she liked/loved/was passionate about.
