Chapter 509 Everyone has his own thoughts
"Auntie seems a little serious. Is she usually quite strict?"
Ling Xiangqian was careful with her wording. In fact, she was already beginning to worry about future conflicts between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Yu Zhouzhou also looked at Gu Yu. Ling Xiangqian's problem was also of great concern to her.
After Gu Yu pointed at Gu Yaoxian and Xue Fanyi and introduced his parents to them, Xue Fanyi put inexplicable pressure on the two girls.
"It's OK. He has high standards for himself and others at work, but he's easy to get along with in private. He never hits or scolds me, and he never gives me the cold shoulder. He really dotes on me."
Gu Yu thought for a moment and said comfortingly,
But they didn't expect that the two girls frowned even more deeply after hearing this. Doting on Gu Yu doesn't mean they will be enthusiastic about their future daughter-in-law.
On the contrary, the focus of the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is precisely the battle for the son's husband.
For a moment, the two women were not in the mood to care about their potential love rivals, but they both became nervous about their relationship with their future mother-in-law.
After the art festival ended, Xue Fanyi turned down the invitation from Zhenhua school leaders and asked her entourage to leave first.
She wanted to have a simple meal with her son. Gu Yaoxian did not appear in her original story.
Gu Yaoxian was the same, but he wanted to have a meal with Xue Fanyi and Gu Yu, and mainly with Xue Fanyi.
"Fanyi, I specially booked a hotel, the Chunhelou.
We, the two of us, and our family of three have eaten there many times in the past, and we have many fond memories of it. It has been so many years,
Xiaoyu and I had dinner there yesterday, and he said that it had been a long time since our family of three had eaten together," Gu Yaoxian said with a slightly disappointed tone.
Gu Yu rolled his eyes when he heard this. This old man is really good at acting. He just opens his mouth and says
But thinking that love is not easy for old baby, he would like to see his parents' relationship remain harmonious as before.
So instead of exposing her, Gu Yu quickly adjusted his expression and looked at Xue Fanyi with a little sadness and expectation.
Xue Fanyi frowned and wanted to say something to Gu Yaoxian.
Seeing her excellent son's expectation and request, as a mother, she could not bear it. Her heart softened and she nodded slightly in agreement.
Gu Yaoxian showed a happy expression, and quickly asked his assistant to arrange a car. Without giving Xue Fanyi time to regret, he called Old Mike who was standing aside to come over.
Gu Yu has been in America for these years, thanks to Old Mike's care. Xue Fanyi is also aware of this.
"Madam, please forgive my impoliteness for taking so long to greet you in person."
Old Mike showed his good stewardship and bowed to Xue Fanyi.
"I should thank you. Gu Yu always mentioned you when he talked to me about life in America.
For so many years, I am lucky to have you by his side, taking good care of his growth."
Xue Fanyi finished speaking solemnly and wanted to bow to express her gratitude, but Old Mike quickly stepped aside.
"Madam, this is what I should do. The young master is very good and has been very sensible since he was a child. I didn't have to worry about it.
You're welcome, I can't afford it," Old Mike was a little timid and bowed slightly.
"Okay, okay, we're a family and we shouldn't have different opinions. Stop coming and let's get in the car."
Gu Yaoxian waved his hand to let the driver who wanted to open the door step aside, and opened the door himself with a smile on his face and an excellent service attitude.
After the mother and son got in the car, he took the initiative to sit in the front passenger seat. This action made the entourage brought by Gu Yaoxian dumbfounded.
My boss has never been so servile. It seems that this lady cannot afford to offend her and must be served carefully.
Along the way, Gu Yu was chatting with Xue Fanyi. Xue Fanyi was very talkative today. She kept asking Gu Yu about school matters and was very concerned about his study and life in school.
Well, it’s mainly about life, and whether or not there is a love life.
"There are several times more girls than boys in your class. Do you feel that there are more girls than boys?"
"It depends on the individual. At least in our class, the boys are still very masculine. In the basketball game not long ago, our class even won the championship."
"That must be because your class has you as its core." Xue Fanyi said with a smile, with pride in her voice.
At this moment, she looks more like an ordinary mother than Director Xue.
Gu Yaoxian observed the mother and son through the rearview mirror and listened attentively, but he did not dare to interrupt for the time being. He was afraid of disrupting the feeling of family harmony.
"Is your deskmate a girl or a boy?" Xue Fanyi slowly led the topic and tried to find out the information.
"The boy who plays Mr. Qian Xuantong on the stage today, the student wearing glasses is called Zheng Yanyi."
Gu Yu gradually felt something was wrong, but he still answered seriously.
"The 'Going Down the Mountain' you choreographed and directed was excellent and very educational. I have had the video sent to the TV station and the Department of Education."
Xue Fanyi said it lightly, but in fact it was not difficult for her. The stage play "Going Down the Mountain" itself was of good quality.
But there is a gap between having capable parents and having to rely on oneself.
If parents are capable, their children will be more likely to succeed and will expand their existing achievements to a higher level.
If you can only rely on yourself, it will require tremendous efforts and opportunities, and you need to accumulate slowly and wait for the day when your accumulation will lead to your success.
Xue Fanyi helped Gu Yu promote in order to gain official recognition and the favor of prestigious universities, which would make his life easier.
Gu Yu didn't care much about this and just accepted it with a smile. He didn't dare to refuse the gift from the elders, and there was nothing to be shy about with his mother.
"The two girls who accompanied you at that time, one played the piano and the other played the cello. I think they had a good relationship with you." Xue Fanyi continued to ask,
"You are talking about Ling Xiangqian and Yu Zhouzhou, right? They are the top students in Zhenhua, the top two in the liberal arts department.
After I came to Zhenhua, my grades improved a lot with their help, and I quickly adapted to the pace of study in China. We are good friends. "
Gu Yu acted openly and frankly said that they were friends, and he also touched on what most Chinese parents care about most: academic performance.
Xue Fanyi has been in the education system and attaches great importance to the development of students in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and aesthetics, especially academic performance. This is something that their generation cannot avoid.
After hearing what Gu Yu said, Xue Fanyi began to have some feelings towards Ling Xiangqian and Yu Zhouzhou.
If we ignore Gu Yu, these two girls are both very good, with top grades and one foot in Tsinghua University or Peking University.
She also has musical talent and a pretty face.
Xue Fanyi thought about it for a while and decided to wait and see what happened.
If Gu Yu has no such thoughts, why should I bother? The mother and son don't spend much time together, so don't create any more estrangement. Adolescent boys are prone to rebellion.
Didn't Gu Yaoxian swear in front of me that he would not let Xiaoyu fall in love too early? If something really happens, let him be the bad guy.
After Xue Fanyi made up her mind, she looked a little more relaxed and asked Gu Yu what he wanted to eat for lunch.
Gu Yaoxian took the opportunity to interrupt the conversation, and the family arrived at the hotel in harmony and affection.
