Chapter 93 Gu Jinxing Meets the Parents 2
Xu Pingtao looked at Shen Wancheng and asked.
"Girl, did you tell him to buy the chess set?"
Shen Wancheng shook her head.
"I didn't even know you liked chess, Grandpa. How can I tell you?"
Xu Pingtao thought about it and realized that it made sense. Shen Wancheng and he had only known each other for less than a month, and Shen Wancheng didn't know much about him. It was impossible for Shen Wancheng to have told Gu Jinxing about his preferences.
That means it could only be that Gu Jinxing deliberately sent gifts to Shen Wancheng's relatives.
This shows that Gu Jinxing values Shen Wancheng.
Xu Pingtao's smile deepened.
"Alright, alright, Jinxing, how about a game?"
"it is good."
Since playing chess in the living room was inconvenient, Xu Pingtao led them to the study.
Gu Jinxing was still being pushed by Shen Wancheng.
After Xu Pingtao sat down in the study, he saw Shen Wancheng pushing Gu Jinxing, and felt a strange pang of jealousy.
"Wan Cheng and I have only known each other for less than a month, and she is already getting married. I think it was a bit too hasty."
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing to see what he would say, showing no intention of helping.
“My marriage to Wan Cheng will not affect Grandpa Xu’s relationship with her. I have already bought the villa next door as our wedding home.”
Xu Pingtao said happily, "You've really thought things through."
Shen Wancheng was unaware of Gu Jinxing's arrangement beforehand.
A look of surprise flashed across Shen Wancheng's eyes.
Shen Wancheng and Xu Pingtao did not have a deep relationship, but since they had recognized each other as relatives, it was only right and proper for Shen Wancheng to visit Xu Pingtao often.
If you don't live together, even if it's a 20 or 30 minute drive away, people will forget to visit each other when they're busy.
But it's different if you're neighbors with Xu Pingtao.
It's very convenient to have dinner together every day.
Furthermore, Shen Yao is now the closest person to Shen Wancheng in this world, and Shen Wancheng doesn't want to be separated from Shen Yao.
If they don't live together, they'll both be busy with their own things and won't be able to see each other every day.
To be honest, Shen Wancheng is still a little worried about Shen Yao acting alone.
Although Shen Yao usually refers to her older sister as the closest and best, Shen Wancheng is actually the closest to Shen Yao as well.
Therefore, Gu Jinxing's decision to arrange their wedding room next to the He Mansion really pleased Shen Wancheng. Shen Yao could stay at the He Mansion permanently in the future, which made Xu Pingtao and He Lin even happier.
While everyone was talking, Shen Yao had already set up the chessboard.
"Come on, Jinxing, let's play the next round."
Shen Wancheng doesn't know any chess, while Shen Yao does, but she doesn't like it.
Furthermore, Shen Wancheng guessed that Xu Pingtao might have something to say to Gu Jinxing.
So Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao went to talk to He Lin first.
He Lin's Alzheimer's disease really changes every day.
Today, she no longer regards Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao as her long-deceased twin granddaughters.
He Lin doesn't recognize Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao today.
Shen Wancheng then said that she and Shen Yao were both He Lin's neighbors and that they had come home for the holidays to keep He Lin company.
Perhaps because there are usually few people at home and the house lacks warmth, He Lin was quite happy even though Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao said they weren't members of the He family, and pulled them aside to tell them some past events she still remembered.
More than an hour later, Xu Pingtao and Gu Jinxing arrived together.
He Lin saw Gu Jinxing being pushed around and said casually.
"This young man is just as good-looking as these two young women, but how did he hurt his leg?"
Gu Jinxing replied, "Yes, there was a slight accident before."
He Lin then asked, "Will it get better?"
The question that He Lin asked unintentionally also caught Xu Pingtao's attention.
Xu Pingtao also wanted to ask this question, but as someone involved in Hong Kong business, even though Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing were getting married, Xu Pingtao's inquiry about Gu Jinxing's injuries still seemed like an attempt to uncover the Gu family's secrets.
Based on Xu Pingtao's understanding of Gu Jinxing, even if Gu Jinxing's leg never healed, objectively speaking, Gu Jinxing's conditions were a good match for Shen Wancheng if she was willing.
But if it really can't be cured, as Shen Wancheng's family, we will always feel that it's not perfect and feel a little wronged for Shen Wancheng.
So when He Lin asked the question, Xu Pingtao also looked at Gu Jinxing.
Gu Jinxing seemed oblivious to Xu Pingtao's gaze.
He calmly told He Lin, "It will get better."
He Lin smiled and said, "It's good that it's better, otherwise it would be a pity."
Xu Pingtao gave Gu Jinxing a deep look.
Both being seasoned veterans in the business world, Xu Pingtao could already guess the intricacies behind Gu Jinxing's words "it will be fine."
Shen Wancheng didn't expect Gu Jinxing to confess in front of Xu Pingtao.
You should know that Gu Jinxing came here today not for official business, but only for his and her marriage.
Therefore, all of Gu Jinxing's actions were to show his sincerity in proposing to her.
That's how people are. When they have expectations, if the other person does 90% of what they should do, they feel it's expected. But when they have no expectations, if the other person does 90% of what they should do, they'll be very satisfied.
Shen Wancheng felt that Gu Jinxing had done a very good job in their marriage of convenience.
Shen Wancheng didn't want Gu Jinxing to put in more effort for their sake and burden her, so she subtly changed the subject.
The group chatted for a while longer before it was time for dinner.
Xu Pingtao was also very familiar with Shen Wancheng's current eating habits, so he specifically instructed the kitchen that there should be no food on the table today that would make Shen Wancheng feel nauseous.
It was a pleasant meal.
After the meal, Shen Yao left in the car that Xu Pingtao had sent for them, while Shen Wancheng left with Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing remained silent throughout the car ride.
When they arrived at Shen Wancheng's residence, Gu Jinxing told her to rest for a day and they would go to the Gu family together the day after tomorrow.
Shen Wancheng nodded in agreement and got out of the car.
Since Shen Wancheng went to the He Mansion with Gu Jinxing this afternoon, she didn't let Ke La come along.
Shen Yao arrived at her residence first. Not wanting Shen Wancheng to go upstairs alone, she waited for her downstairs.
Gu Jinxing saw Shen Yao downstairs and didn't let Cheng Ming escort Shen Wancheng upstairs.
When Shen Yao saw Shen Wancheng get out of the car, she went over and took Shen Wancheng's arm.
As Shen Wancheng walked, she glanced at Shen Yao and asked.
What are your thoughts now?
"Sis, you're like a mind reader; you can tell what I'm thinking right away."
"No, I don't know what you're thinking."
"You'll know once I tell you."
"Hmm, tell me, what are you thinking about now?"
Shen Yao said, "I suddenly realized that cars are really convenient. I want to drive. How about I buy a car? That way, I can take you wherever you want to go without having to call a driver anymore."
Without even thinking, Shen Wancheng said, "I won't ride in a car driven by a novice driver."
"Sis! You're looking down on me. I think driving is pretty easy, at least it should be simpler than riding a horse."
"Driving is indeed not difficult, but car accidents happen every day."
