Sheng Tang felt that Gu You was trying to make a point, letting her know that his family was not easy to get into.
If Sheng Tang were really soone after money, she would probably be scared into a heart attack right now.
Since the first conversation was already a failure, Sheng Tang no longer attempted to make a good impression and beca more casual with her words.
"Are you referring to our company, or our personal relationship?" Sheng Tang asked.
Gu You slightly furrowed his brow.
He probably didn’t like being questioned.
Seeing this, Sheng Tang was no longer anxious, and she explained both questions: "If you an the company, Bo Yue Film and Television, we plan to expand it big.
We will hire a CEO to manage the company’s operations, while I will focus on acting and selecting projects, aiming to make the production company as big as possible. Besides, this company is funded with money we earned ourselves.
We temporarily borrowed so funds from Guanghong, which we have already paid back, so no matter what we do, we won’t lose money.
If you’re talking about our personal relationship, we haven’t planned anything yet.
Jiahui is still young, he has his own pursuits, and I’m also busy with my career. We haven’t planned to settle down in the next few years. Besides, Jiahui never said he would marry , and I haven’t had that expectation either."
Perhaps it was this statent that finally aligned with Gu You’s intentions.
His expression relaxed a bit.
He probably looked down on Sheng Tang and was unwilling to let her beco a daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Gu didn’t like Sheng Tang either.
Sheng Tang thought it was fortunate that she and Gu Jiahui only had a contractual relationship. If it were a real romance, she would feel utterly wronged and would break up with Gu Jiahui after this dinner.
Anyway, she couldn’t stand such grievances.
As they continued their conversation, Gu Jiahui assisted Mrs. Gu in coming downstairs.
Mrs. Gu was wearing a cal-colored sweater; she was very thin, looking sickly, but still retained so beauty.
She must have been particularly beautiful when she was young, just judging by Gu Jiahui’s appearance.
Sheng Tang also stood up and greeted, "Auntie."
Mrs. Gu only nodded at her indifferently and then looked away.
On New Year’s Eve, the Gu family’s dining table was quite lavish.
A long table was filled with dishes from end to end.
Sheng Tang and Gu Jiahui sat next to each other, while Mrs. Gu and Gu You sat at opposite ends of the long table.
Everyone ate in silence, with no one speaking.
Mrs. Gu ate very little and drank frequently, with the servants regularly refilling her glass.
Gu Jiahui also remained silent.
Sheng Tang felt that living in such an environnt for a long ti would surely make one depressed.
She vaguely understood why Gu Jiahui always had such a gloomy deanor.
Sheng Tang wasn’t one to be tactless.
Since everyone stayed silent, she wouldn’t try to liven up the atmosphere and quietly ate her al.
Gu You glanced at her twice, thinking that this woman was patient and shrewd, which explained why Jiahui was so infatuated with her.
She wasn’t soone easy to deal with.
After the al, Sheng Tang and Mrs. Gu sat in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala, while Gu Jiahui was called to the study by Gu You.
Then, faint sounds of an argunt ca from the study.
Sheng Tang turned to look.
Mrs. Gu seed oblivious.
The argunt grew louder and louder, and Sheng Tang even heard Gu Jiahui say, "What does it have to do with you?"
"Sheng Tang is a celebrity; how could we possibly get married? Besides, my marriage is not sothing you should decide."
Sheng Tang stood up.
Mrs. Gu: "Sit down!"
Her voice was cold.
Sheng Tang glanced at her, "I’ll go check it out."
Mrs. Gu raised her eyes again, giving her a cold look, and said, "Sit down!"
Sheng Tang ignored her and headed directly towards the study.
As soon as she pushed open the door, sothing heavy flew towards her.
Sheng Tang quickly dodged, and a book slid down her arm, making her left arm feel numb.
They actually got physical.
Gu You saw her and was furious, practically like a madman: "Who let you in here, get out!"
He grabbed an ashtray from the table and hurled it at Sheng Tang.
Gu Jiahui stepped in front of Sheng Tang, and the ashtray hit his back.
Pushing Sheng Tang out, he quickly exited the study.
Holding Sheng Tang’s hand, Gu Jiahui hurriedly walked out.
Passing through the living room, Mrs. Gu sternly said to her son, "Stop! Your father didn’t tell you to leave!"
Gu Jiahui’s steps hesitated for a mont.
He glanced at Mrs. Gu and then at Sheng Tang, "I’ll take her back first. You go upstairs, lock your room. It’ll be fine, I’ll co back."
Sheng Tang: "..."
This is the worst family, the worst parents she’d ever seen.
Her heart felt unbearably bitter for a mont.
