Executive's Exclusive Beloved
Chapter 24 Being urged to marry
As night fell, Gu Chi returned to his old house in the eastern suburbs.
The older generation of the Gu family likes the Jiangnan style, so the design of the house is very traditional Su's courtyard, needless to say it covers a large area.
Stepping into the atrium, the well-arranged lanterns in the courtyard are all lit up, reflecting in the canal full of koi carp, bringing sparkling light.
When Gu Chi entered the main room, the people chatting inside were having a great time talking.
"Brother!" The girl's innocent and clear voice broke the excitement in the room.
Gu Chi was hugged by a girl with two small balls tied up. The girl was not tall and just reached his abdomen.
"Xiao Chi is back." The kind old woman on the main seat greeted Gu Chi cordially.
Gu Chi nodded, smiled, and then gestured to everyone present.
"Brother, why did you come back so late?" Gu Ning grabbed Gu Chi's arm and led him to the sofa to sit down.
"I have something to do, so it's delayed." Gu Chi looked at Gu Ning for a while, but he hasn't seen her for three months. She seems to have grown a little taller.
"Brother, don't you miss me? You don't even come to country M to see me." Gu Ning pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, her tone full of coquettishness.
"A Ning, your brother is busy enough every day, don't make trouble." Gu Chi heard Gu's mother's voice from behind, and paused with a smile at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't look back.
Luo Chujie walked over in high heels, and was not surprised to see Gu Ju's indifferent profile.
"When did you arrive?" During the questioning, Luo Chujie took a seat beside Gu Chi.
"Just now."
Gu Ju responded, then got up and glanced at the nanny beside him.
The nanny immediately brought over the box that Gu Chi brought back just now.
Gu Chi took it and walked to the old lady in the main seat.
"grandmother."
The old man took the delicately carved wooden box from Gu Chi's hand with a smile, and could smell a faint hint of sandalwood.
"Mom, please open it and have a look, let us also open our eyes." The woman sitting in the other corner of the sofa said that it was Gu Chi's second aunt, that is, his second uncle's wife.
"Yes, Mom." Second Uncle Gu Chi agreed.
In an instant, the eyes of the whole family were focused on the box in Mrs. Gu's hand.
Old lady Gu smiled and opened the box in front of everyone.
The Qibao bracelet carved with shallow flowers was displayed in front of everyone. The workmanship was so delicate that the naked eye could see it, and it was low-key and luxurious.
Seven Treasure Bracelets, tokens of Buddhist holy gods. The Seven Treasures are gold, silver, glass, coral, clam, red bead, and agate. Each treasure also represents a different meaning.
"It has been sent to the temple for the master to consecrate it." Gu Chi continued.
Mrs. Gu has always liked to pay respects to the Buddha, and there is a dedicated Buddha statue in the north corner of the main room, and Gu Chi is also fond of it.
Sure enough, Mrs. Gu couldn't put it down. She held it in her hand to admire it for a while, and even tried to fiddle with it.
It feels quite good in the hand, and the tentacles are warm.
"Xiao Chi is so thoughtful every year." Mrs. Gu took Gu Chi's hand, and patted the back of his hand twice, "The chief has a heart."
In the second half of the sentence, Mrs. Gu looked at Luo Chujie and said that Gu Chi's father was the eldest son of Gu, but he left a few years ago.
In front of everyone in the Gu family, Mrs. Gu praised Gu Chi like this, which shows the weight of Gu Chi in her heart.
The crowd echoed Mrs. Gu's praise and laughed, but some people just smiled, not meat.
For example, Gu Chi's second uncle and his wife just glanced at each other and smiled very reluctantly.
"Brother, don't I have a New Year's gift?" Gu Ning trotted up to Gu Chi and looked up at him.
"Of course." Gu Chi put his palm on Gu Ning's head, "I have prepared twenty sets of test papers for you, and I heard that you did a terrible job in the Mandarin test this time."
Gu Ning's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
"I'll let the nanny take it back for you in a while." After Gu Chi said, he motioned to Gu Ning's nanny.
The nanny nodded embarrassingly.
"You bully!" Gu Ning was so angry that he wanted to cry, he got into the arms of Mrs. Gu and acted like a baby, accusing Gu Chi of his evil deeds.
"It's okay, sister-in-law will help you clean him up."
Gu Chi's aunt, Gu Fangya, is the only daughter of Mrs. Gu's three children.
"Sister-in-law is the best." Gu Ning snorted at Gu Chi, as if he was backed by someone and not afraid of trouble.
"By the way, why hasn't Xiao Shao come back yet?" Mrs. Gu glanced at the ancient Western clock on the ebony frame. It was already eight o'clock.
"Mom, Xiao Shao sent news about the traffic jam before, but I guess it's time to arrive." Second Aunt Gu Chi hurriedly said.
Just as the voice fell, a man in a black suit just walked to the door, it was Gu Shao.
Gu Shao, the son of Gu Chi's second uncle, is one year older than Gu Chi.
"I'm late." Gu Shao walked in with a smile, greeted everyone in the room one by one, and finally smiled but said nothing to Gu Chi.
Gu Shao also gave Mrs. Gu a New Year's gift, a box of valuable Changbai Mountain natural ginseng.
Mrs. Gu also praised Gu Shao, but did not mention the "second room".
"Everyone is here, it's time for the New Year's Eve dinner." Mrs. Gu got up, and the others followed suit.
The New Year's Eve dinner was prepared by Mrs. Gu herself, and the preferences of everyone in the family were taken care of.
"Brother, I want to eat fish." Gu Ning lay on the dining table, but looked at Gu Chi and smiled at Gu Chi.
"How old are you, do it yourself." Gu Ju helped Gu Ning up from the table, "Sit upright."
"..." Gu Ning was so angry at Gu Chi again, it was her aunt Gu Fangya who gave her a chopstick of fish to calm her down.
"Xiao Chi will be a father in the future, he must be a strict father." Mrs. Gu smiled, "But you two brothers are not too young, and life-long events cannot be delayed any longer."
Gu Chi and Gu Shao ate their chopsticks at the same time, and the atmosphere at the dinner table cooled down a bit.
"That's right, Xiao Shao, Xiao Chi, you are all in your thirties, and you should take your marriage into consideration." Second Aunt echoed, "This way the New Year's Eve dinner will be more lively."
Gu Chi and Gu Shao agreed without speaking.
Luo Chujie, who hadn't spoken much from the beginning, spoke at this moment.
"A few days ago, several wives asked me in private, and wanted to tell Xiao Chi and Xiao Shao about their marriage. I think it's good." Luo Chujie smiled, but her eyes watched Gu Chi's face intentionally or unintentionally, "If you two brothers are willing, It's just a good time to take advantage of the holidays to invite those young ladies out to meet and cultivate relationships..."
Before Luo Chujie finished speaking, Gu Chi suddenly put down his chopsticks, and the dinner plate was knocked with a muffled sound.
"Not interested." Gu Chi looked at Luo Chujie for the first time today.
"Get married, I don't have any plans for now."
Gu Chi stated his attitude without any ambiguity.
"Auntie, we appreciate your kindness." Gu Shao seemed much smoother at this time, not as aggressive as Gu Chi, "It's just that the company is on the rise at home and abroad, and Xiao Chi and I really don't have the energy to fall in love."
"I don't agree with my brother's marriage either!" Gu Ning suddenly raised his voice and raised his hands high, for fear that others would not see him, "My brother married his sister-in-law, so he won't love me anymore."
"Don't brother get married!"
Gu Ning spoke childishly, but it was this childishness that resolved the embarrassment at the dinner table.
The family smiled and turned this unpleasant topic over.
Gu Ning withdrew his raised hand in mid-air, picked up chopsticks and picked up sweet and sour pork ribs for Gu Chi to eat, and whispered in Gu Chi's ear, "Brother eats meat, don't get angry."
Under the dining table, Gu Chi gave Gu Ning a thumbs up.
Don't mention how proud Gu Ning was when he saw it, the corners of his mouth were going to fly up into the sky.
The sourness of sweet and sour stimulated the taste buds, Gu Chi paused, thinking of the little thing that loves sweet and sour pork ribs in the house.
Taking time out, Gu Chi sent a message to the housekeeper, asking him to make a sweet and sour pork ribs for Yu Bei when he arranges dinner.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family moved to the yard to watch the fireworks show.
Gu Ju was not very interested in these, but just handed Gu Ning a box in the gap.
"new Year's gift."
Inside the box is a Chanel limited-edition small satchel. The surface of the bag is inlaid with gradient pink crystals, and the color is dreamlike. It is a gift that every little girl can't refuse.
This bag is entirely based on Gu Ning's aesthetic point, she likes it very much.
"Brother, you are so kind." Gu Ning could not wait to hang on Gu Chi now.
"Remember to do the test paper." Gu Ju's tone was flat, "I will check it myself before you go abroad."
Gu Ning's emotion disappeared in less than two seconds.
The fireworks show ended, and when they returned indoors, the family was chatting again, waiting for the zero o'clock to strike.
Mrs. Gu began to give out red envelopes to each member of the Gu family one by one.
After midnight, Gu Ju was the first to get up and leave.
The older generation of the Gu family likes the Jiangnan style, so the design of the house is very traditional Su's courtyard, needless to say it covers a large area.
Stepping into the atrium, the well-arranged lanterns in the courtyard are all lit up, reflecting in the canal full of koi carp, bringing sparkling light.
