The Queen’s Gigolo
Chapter 122
<script>Guo Zhi, Liao Yuan and Guo Heng accompanied the Cao family for dinner.
Liao Yuan didn't need to drive anyway, so he ordered a drink and drank a few drinks with the Cao family and his son. Guo Heng sat with him holding a teacup. He is a pleasant-looking, funny-speaking young man, and he quickly chats and laughs with the Cao family and his son in a friendly manner.
The meal was quite peaceful. Guo Heng chatted with Cao Yuxuan and found that they were both majors in computer science and had a common language. It is Cao Meng who has serious questions and answers with Guo Zhi, and it seems that it is not bad to be taught by adults.
The quietest person in the room was probably Liao Yuan's mother. This woman has been eating silently, occasionally serving Cao Meng's dishes gently. It's just that Guo Zhi sometimes glanced over suddenly and found that she was peeking at her. After being discovered, she would look away in a panic.
Guo Zhi did not change his face, chatted with Cao Meng with a smile on his face and asked her about her study and daily life. From time to time, I would say a few words to the father and son of the Cao family, make a toast with tea instead of wine, and thank them for coming all the way for her and Liao Yuan's affairs.
Liao Yuan's mother followed quietly to eat, toast, and drink tea. It seems that he is very accustomed to the occasions when men speak, and shut up quietly.
When paying the bill, Lao Cao and Liao Yuan grabbed it, but Liao Yuan and Guo Heng jointly suppressed it. The atmosphere is very harmonious.
I didn't leave immediately after I bought the order, the waiter even brought a fruit plate. While everyone was eating fruit, Liao Yuan looked at her mother, but she lowered her eyebrows and did not move.
Liao Yuan suppressed the anger in his heart and gave Cao Yuxuan a wink. Cao Yuxuan understood, got up and took the bag his stepmother had put on the sofa in the private room and stuffed it to her: "Aunt Xu."
The woman raised her head and saw her son staring at her, a little scary. She felt a sudden shock in her heart. She didn't dare to go against his wishes, and reluctantly reached into her bag and took out a small paper tote bag.
"It's the first time we met, it's a little interesting." She said a little lackluster, "And the four golds of the engagement, so we'll be together."
Guo Zhi and her were separated by Cao Meng. Hearing this, he got up from the chair, bowed slightly, took it with both hands, and said, "Thank you auntie, you too You're welcome."
"It should be." The woman said softly, and there was not much enthusiasm in her words.
When Liao Yuan married her, they would be considered half relatives of the Cao family in the future, so everyone felt closer.
Liao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Cao Yuxuan a "thank you" wink. Cao Yuxuan nodded slightly in response.
He was worried about what she was thinking and gave him a negative response. Although he called her and urged her to buy the four golds that her husband's family should give when the engagement was made, he was still worried and asked Cao Yuxuan to keep an eye on this matter.
The money for these purchases was paid to her in advance. And this money, because it was going to be given to Guo Zhi, in order not to let her know, he did not take the account from her, and directly asked the company's finance department to withhold a sum of money for him.
In the Cao family, when it comes to speaking weight, the first is Lao Cao, and then the adult son of the Cao family. With Cao Yuxuan helping to watch, and then talking to his father, the two talked about her together, Liao Yuan's mother could only do it no matter how reluctant she was.
She is not used to nor able to defy a man's words.
On the way back to the hotel room, the father and son of the Cao family were still discussing the sister and brother of the Guo family.
"It looks prettier than the photos on the Internet. I thought it would be very manly, but it looks quite feminine."
"Mmmm, one person runs a company, this girl is amazing." Lao Cao praised. "At first glance, the tutoring is very good, and both sisters and brothers are really good."
Liao Yuan's mother felt even more depressed when she heard this.
Before she came, she was worried that Guo Zhi was a bad woman and seduced her son. Now it seems that she is not a bad woman, but she is a powerful woman. Uneasy to go to work and run a company alone
She couldn't tell the bad woman or the powerful woman, which one she hated more. She didn't like it anyway.
Women should be at peace, husbands and sons. Open any company and show up all day long. Seeing a lot of people, talking and looking at people makes people feel scared.
Not like a girl
She couldn't help but mumble.
The father and son of the Cao family looked at each other, a little helpless.
"You, the children see the right eye, and they feel good. And Xiao Guo said it really well, she is just a little older, and the others are really hard to pick. I think Xiaoyuan is sincere to her. Don't worry about it." Lao Cao said to her.
Cao Yuxuan also persuaded: "Liao Yuan is fine with her. Liao Yuan told me before that it was not easy to catch Guo Zhi after a lot of effort. Liao Yuan did the same. My lord, you know who is good and who is not. Just listen to my dad, don't worry about it. "
There was a sentence in his heart that he didn't say.
When Liao Yuan needs you to worry, you don't care about him. He has a successful career now and is living such a good life, what the **** do you care about?
Old Cao said: "That's right, Liao Yuan is so old, he has become a big star, he knows what's wrong. Just put your heart down."
The husband and stepson said so, and although she did not reply, she was even more depressed.
Especially what her husband said at the end made her even more embarrassed.
Her son is a big star, how can he find an old girl with a lot of money
She was so worried that she couldn't sleep.
On the way back, Liao Yuan was a little silent.
Guo Zhi knew he was not happy.
Ordinarily, Liao Yuan's mother clearly showed her dislike for her, and she should be the one who should be unhappy. But because she never had any expectations for her, there was no such thing as disappointment.
Liao Yuan was disappointed because he obviously expected it.
Guo Zhi pretended to be relaxed and said, "The bag is quite heavy, what is it in?" She was talking about the small paper bag that Liao Yuan's mother gave her.
Of course Liao Yuan knew what was inside, but he was still a little worried. I took it out and opened the box and looked at the contents with my own eyes.
"The 20,000 yuan is a gift for the first meeting. The four golds are given by the mother-in-law to the daughter-in-law when we got engaged," he said.
"Yo, my mother must be happy. She pays attention to this." Guo Zhi said with a smile.
She even smiled and comforted him
Liao Yuan lowered his eyes and said softly: "Guo Zhi, my mother is like that, don't be angry"
Guo Zhi stopped at the red light intersection, said nothing, reached out and held Liao Yuan's hand.
She is not angry, she just feels pity for Liao Yuan.
The person he cared about most refused to share the joy and happiness of his marriage. How much he expected, how strong he wanted to share his joy with her, how disappointed and sad he was now.
His mother, as he described to her, was weak, even weak.
She didn't have the courage to say her dislike directly. As soon as the men stared at her, she persuaded. She couldn't even look directly at Guo Zhi's eyes for more than two seconds. Guo Zhi hadn't even deliberately pressed her with his eyes, and she couldn't take it anymore.
If she can be like Liao Yuan's stepmother, with a shrewdness, Guo Zhi may be angry with her and call it a fight.
But she is such a soft woman, Guo Zhi can't even get angry with her.
Finally, I understood, the tiredness on Liao Yuan's expression every time he finished talking to her on the phone.
She has always been vaguely worried that Liao Yuan's liking for her is morbidly persistent. But seeing his cause with her own eyes today, her heart softened completely.
If he is really sick, she thinks, it doesn't matter, she will give him his medicine
In the dim car, Liao Yuan held her hand instead.
The two of them clasped their fingers and didn't need to say anything.
She understood his distress and loss, and he received her comfort and understanding.
I felt that the road was short and I arrived home too soon.
When I got home, my parents were waiting for her worriedly. Mom dragged her into the room to talk privately.
She threw the small paper bag to her mother: "20,000 yuan, and four gold. I don't know what." Young people in big cities have little idea about these things. .
Mother Guo opened it and took a look, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, gold earrings, gold rings. Picked it up and weighed it, the weight was very large, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It turned out to be these things. It's so thick, how can I wear it." Guo Zhi said. Besides, it seems that only aunts wear gold now, right?
"What do you know?" Guo's mother despised her, "This is not for wearing. Gold is for pressing the bottom of the box. Whether you wear it or not, there must be something in a woman's closet. Yellow goods are at the bottom. Do you understand?"
Mother Guo didn't say, what she cares about is not the money nor the weight of the gold. It is the weight of these things that represents your status in the hearts of your in-laws.
Nowadays young girls don't understand this old principle, they often shout about equality between men and women, freedom of love, freedom of marriage, and nothing to do with their parents. I don't care about anything, I don't have any requirements for the man's family. Stupidly, they don't understand. The young people don't understand this, but the older generation definitely understands. Therefore, the other party does not give you, or gives thinly, not because they don't care about these old rules like you. But because they don't care about you.
Because Guo Zhi is eight years older than Liao Yuan, Guo's mother has always been worried. From her standpoint as a parent, if the other parent cares about Guo Zhi's age, she is completely understandable.
So she was actually worried all day today, waiting for Guo Zhi to report back to her in the evening. Seeing the gift money and four gold that Guo Zhi brought back, she let go of her heart a little.
"How are his parents?" She helped Guo Zhixian put the things in the safe and asked.
Guo Zhi thought for a while, "His father and his stepmother, are they alright, they are the kind of people who live on the air and can talk."
This means that the meeting atmosphere is okay.
"What the fuck?" Guo Ma asked.
How Liao Yuan's mother is actually far more important than how his father is. The influence and weight of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in marriage is beyond the imagination of many unmarried young people.
A mother-in-law who likes you may not make you happier. But a mother-in-law who doesn't like you can bring great pain to your marriage.
But even so, Guo's mother was still nervous about Liao Yuan's mother's attitude towards her daughter.
"The father and son of the Cao family are very good. They are much better than I thought. They look loyal and honest, Cao Mengte is cute, looks like Liao Yuan, and will definitely be a little beauty in the future "Guo Zhi said with a smile.
Mo Ruomu, the best-known daughter.
Mother Guo asked rudely: "I asked Liao Yuan's mother"
Guo Zhi avoids the heavy and takes light: "The character is a little soft, when I see her husband talking, she is like that, how should I say it, just like the little woman in the past. She shuts up when her husband talks. kind of."
"I asked her how she treats you" when it was important, Guo Ma would not be coaxed by her.
Guo Zhi couldn't hide, he grinded his back molars, and honestly admitted: "Maybe he doesn't like me too much. After all, I'm so much older than Liao Yuan."
As expected. Guo's mother sighed.
"But it's alright." Guo Zhi comforted her, "His mother is very soft. She doesn't speak loudly. I'm not afraid if she doesn't like me. Who do you think your daughter is afraid of?"
"It's not like that" Guo Ma worried.
Guo Zhi rolled his eyes and kicked the safe: "I tell you, this must have been prepared by Liao Yuan, believe it or not"
Mother Guo guessed it.
The amount of the gift money and the weight of the four gold coins are all satisfactory. With the economic level of a small place like Liao Yuan's family, coupled with Liao Yuan's mother's dislike of Guo Zhi, it is impossible for her to prepare it herself.
There is no doubt that Liao Yuan arranged it in advance.
This kid really has a heart.
"So, look. I don't care what others do. I won't live with them in the future as long as Liao Yuan treats me well."
Guo Zhi speaks very well.
Mother Guo remembered the red real estate certificate lying quietly inside when she opened the safe to put things. The house with more than ten million yuan, the full amount, was written directly in the name of Guo Zhi before the certificate was obtained.
Mother Guo took this depression in her heart and cleared it herself.
You can't ignore the better and more important just because of a little bit. If nothing else, Xiao Liao's sincere heart makes people feel at ease.
Life, whether people live well or not depends on oneself
Everything Liao Yuan did was for Guo Zhi.
In order to let Guo Zhizhi marry him at ease.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the one who can get the most sense of security from it is his mother-in-law.
