“Mum, Madam Lin and you were love rivals before?” Su Rui held Liu Yue’s hand after Lin Ye left.As Liu Yue heard that, she dazed for a moment and pretended to glare at Su Rui, “Nonsense, I’m your father’s first love.”
“Then, their family and our family are competitors.”
“That’s not true.”
If not, why are both of you so hostile towards each other.
Su Rui couldn’t help but roast them.
But, at the moment when Liu Yue glared at her, she wisely returned to a serious and attentive expression.
As Liu Yue looked at Su Rui, she didn’t know what her daughter was thinking.
“Lin Ye’s family circumstances are almost the same as ours, and they only have a daughter.” said Liu Yue.
When that woman used to brag about her daughter in many different ways, Liu Yue felt frustrated.
Cheh, who doesn’t have a daughter?
As Su Rui saw Mother Su’s expression refusing to give in, the corner of her mouth twitched twice.
Sure enough, comparison was always a topic amongst women, regardless of their status and expenditure level.
When they were young, they would compare themselves. When they were married, they would compare their husbands. After two years, they would compare their children.
“You have to take note of her.” Liu Yue said.
“Let me tell you, the Zhang family set their eyes on marrying their daughter into the Gu family. Lin Ye has invited Yu Jing several times privately as well. “
“Hm, really?” As Su Rui heard it, she knitted her eyebrows, “I couldn’t tell that Gu Yu Cheng is so popular?”
“Of course.” Liu Yue glanced at her daughter.
You can’t see that because you are so oblivious.
After all, who was the most desirable marriage partner in the whole circle? Apart from Gu Yu Cheng, there was no one else.
Not only because of the Gu family, but because Gu Yu Cheng, himself, was too outstanding.
“I thought with his personality, he wouldn’t be popular with little girls.”
“What personality?”
“Just that he is quite boring, and his thinking is rather like a straight man?” Su Rui pertinently said.
Liu Yue was amused by Su Rui’s words.
“If Yu Jing knows that is how you judged her son, she will probably be depressed.” Liu Yue glanced at Su Rui and continued, “You said that Gu Yu Cheng isn’t likeable by others. Yet, I feel that you think that he is quite good?”
“I’m different from them. I consider it from a perspective in the long run.”
Regarding Su Rui’s consideration of marriage during her past life, her biggest wish was to find someone financially stable.
Gu Yu Cheng fits that criteria.
His financial status is very good, and various conditions are suitable for a consideration of a marriage partner.
It may be that the years spent in the hospital bed dispelled Su Rui’s little girl’s fantasy of love, or it may be that she heard too many stories from the aunts in the same ward.
Su Rui thought that it would be nice to get married to a reliable person.
Besides, marriage wasn’t the same as dating. There was no need for sparks in their relationship, a ring in the cake, and a rose in the annual celebrations.
To be able to live peacefully with each other would be fine.
Regardless whether I like or dislike him, after marriage and living together, we would become family and soulmates.
There are risks in love. It seems that there is nothing wrong with going straight to marriage.
Mrs Su didn’t know about her daughter’s real thoughts. As she heard this, she felt that her daughter probably likes Gu Yu Cheng, but as compared with those in other families who are in a hurry to approach him, her family’s Rui Rui has a better sense of propriety.
After bringing her daughter with her to greet some acquaintances, Liu Yue finally satisfactory allowed Su Rui to walk around by herself, and she will continue to greet the people at the banquet.
When Mother Su allowed her to leave, Su Rui immediately went to the rest area where seats were placed.
When Su Rui just saw down, she noticed a figure in the crowd not far away.
To be stunned by her appearance? That doesn’t exist.
The reason why Su Rui noticed the girl over there was because of her dress.
The front design of her dress, rhinestones, champagne dress, black fabric….
It can be said that the concept of design was the same.
The other party’s dress and Su Rui’s dress should be from the same series of high-end fashion, and both sets are rather similar.
To wear the same outfit as her[1].
That’s quite an awkward situation.
And the more awkward thing was that as soon as Su Rui noticed the girl, the other party was also looking at her.
[1] 撞衫(zhuàng shān) – to wear the same outfit as somebody else in public
