Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Overestimating Oneself

But it was precisely that arrogant glance that made Su Youyou's heart pound.

 

In her life, she seldom saw such a handsome man like a god, let alone Gu Mo's nobility that permeated from within, it was not necessary to know who he was to confirm that his identity was extraordinary.

 

"Hello... I'm Su Youyou..." She went over to greet Gu Mo. Although Gu Mo was too lazy to look at her, Su Youyou felt that she could talk to such an excellent man first.

 

Gu Mo withdrew his cold gaze and turned to look at Su Heyi beside him. Her fair face had a rosy glow, looking like a red apple just picked from the tree, enchanting and tempting people to take a bite.

 

Gu Mo said to Su Heyi, "Do you want some water?"

 

Su Heyi pursed her lips and shook her head. She had already seen Su Youyou come back and looked at Su Youyou.

 

But at this moment, Su Youyou was staring at Su Heyi with a gaze as if she were an enemy.

 

Su Youyou couldn't understand why Su Heyi, this fool, was so lucky! Why would such a handsome man be so intimate with her? The tone of his speech was not as cold as his face, which made Su Youyou feel uncontrollable jealousy.

 

Although she was completely unfamiliar with Gu Mo, Su Youyou felt that she liked this man very much and thought with an accelerated heartbeat that if such a man could become her boyfriend, her friends would definitely be envious of her...

 

"Ah! Youyou is back!" Aunt Su ran out from the kitchen and said enthusiastically, "Quickly say hello to Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu, this is my daughter Su Youyou. She is a nurse at the Second City Hospital, 24 years old this year, and she hasn't had a boyfriend yet..."

 

Aunt Su's anxious appearance completely exposed her thoughts.

 

A cold smile flashed across Gu Mo's lips, but he didn't respond.

 

Su Youyou asked shyly and timidly, "Mr. Gu? Hello, Mr. Gu... I..."

 

"Dad!" Gu Mengbao suddenly spoke, he shifted his attention from the TV and sweetly called out to his father, "Come and tell me what this is about..."

 

So Su Youyou became a non-existent person, standing awkwardly in place.

 

Su Youyou's eyes moved slightly, pulling her mother into the kitchen: "Mom, is he the father of that little kid? So he is already married?"

 

"What marriage, don't you remember when that child came to our house last time and mentioned it? He doesn't have a mother, he must have divorced!" Aunt Su smiled and said, "You see he is rich and good-looking, although he has a child, it is not easy to find a suitable person now..."

 

Su Youyou immediately understood her mother's mind, and she asked eagerly, "Really? Then mom, you have to help me ask, I really like him!"

 

Uncle Su still had some questions, but he was blocked back by the two women. He couldn't argue with them and could only cook with his head down.

 

When it was time to eat, Aunt Su specially wanted to arrange Su Youyou to sit next to Gu Mo, but her wish did not come true because Gu Mo personally said, "Heyi, come and sit here with me."

 

Gu Mengbao also nodded: "Mommy, come and sit between us!"

 

Su Youyou glared at Su Heyi again, it's her again! This Su Heyi has been snatching things from her since she was young. Before Su Heyi became foolish, her face could make everyone like her, and Su Youyou was just a little follower of her. If it weren't for following Su Heyi, hardly anyone would pay attention to her. Now that Su Heyi has finally become foolish, she didn't expect it to be the same as before!

 

Su Youyou was angry but had no way, and could only try to be enthusiastic during the meal, trying to serve Gu Mengbao and Gu Mo.

 

However, Gu Mo's cold words: "I'm sorry, I don't eat dishes that others have picked up for me." made Su Youyou awkwardly take back the chopsticks.

 

Gu Mengbao snickered on the side and added: "My dad has a phobia!"

 

Su Heyi was still puzzled, Mr. Gu had clearly eaten the dishes she had picked up for him...

 

But she wouldn't say this kind of doubt, just feeling inexplicably happy in her heart.

 

She thought, Mr. Gu is very different with her, this kind of cognition made Su Heyi have a faint excitement.

 

This meal was eaten with ulterior motives, except for Su Heyi who was just eating simply, and the others all had different thoughts.

 

Especially Aunt Su, who kept inquiring about Gu Mo's situation, asking him where he worked and about his personal situation.

 

When she learned that Gu Mo had his own company and was currently single, she took a look at her own daughter, and her ambition to climb high was almost palpable.

 

Until Gu Mo took the initiative to mention: "I am single because my legs and feet are inconvenient."

 

Aunt Su finally thought of this most critical point!

 

She had previously thought that Gu Mo was just unwell, but she didn't expect that Gu Mo really couldn't walk, which made her idea of letting her daughter get close to Gu Mo just now fall through.

 

No matter what, she wouldn't let Su Youyou associate with a disabled person.

 

Su Youyou didn't conceal her surprise at all and exclaimed: "What! You can't walk! Isn't that disabled!"

 

The astonishment in her eyes was clearly very disappointed, and this emotion made Gu Mo's eyes a few degrees colder.

 

It was still Su Heyi who said in a panic: "Youyou, don't mention this..."

 

Hearing the anxious tone of the person beside her, the coldness in Gu Mo's eyes gradually dissipated, and he said lightly: "It doesn't matter, this is a fact, I won't care."

 

Su Youyou knew she had spoken out of turn, apologized, and then didn't speak anymore. Facing Gu Mo, her attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before, obviously starting to dislike that Gu Mo couldn't walk.

 

In her eyes, although Gu Mo's conditions were excellent in all aspects, the physical defect was unacceptable to her.

 

Su Youyou, who was so arrogant, never thought that as the head of the Gu family, whether Gu Mo could look down on her was a problem, where did she have the qualifications to pick and choose...

 

After dinner, Su Heyi sent the father and son downstairs, and Su Youyou didn't move, feeling regretful while also giving up her interest in Gu Mo.

 

"Heyi." Downstairs, before getting in the car, Gu Mo held Su Heyi's hand.

 

"Hmm?" Su Heyi's bright apricot eyes were very focused on him, as if the whole world only had the figure of Gu Mo.

 

"I have to go on a business trip for a few days tomorrow, and I may have to trouble you to take care of Gu Yan, okay?"

 

Su Heyi agreed without hesitation: "Okay!"

 

"I will bring you a gift back."

 

"Okay!" Su Heyi's mouth rose, and her eyes were full of water, which made Gu Mo look a bit dazed.

 

His eyes darkened, he pulled Gu Mengbao to his side, put his big hand in front of Mengbao's eyes, covered his sight, and with the other hand holding Su Heyi's slender and fair swan neck, he made her bend down, and moved to kiss her on the forehead with a pitying action.
