50 Chapter 50 Parents
"Dad..." Xia Zichen called Xia Yuze. He didn't know when his father was standing there, and his face couldn't help but feel hot. ˋˊ
Xia Yuze looked at Xia Zichen's awkward face, and there was a little helplessness in his smile. He had locked the car and was about to enter the building, but when he turned around, he saw his son kissing another man. In fact, the light at the place where they stood was very dark, and it was generally difficult to detect if they were not careful. But Xia Zichen was his son after all, and even if he only gave him a back, he could recognize him.
"Go home first." Xia Yuze waved and asked Xia Zichen to go upstairs with him.
Xia Zichen obediently followed his father and returned home with his head down. He didn't think he had done something wrong, he was just a little embarrassed. After all, if anyone saw this kind of thing, he wouldn't be so calm. If he had to say something wrong, Xia Zichen just felt that he was wrong because he didn't tell his father earlier.
When Xia Yuze returned home, she didn't rush to ask. After both of them took a shower and changed into home clothes, Xia Yuze called Xia Zichen over.
"Have you thought about what to say?" Xia Yuze asked while sitting on the sofa.
"When did you stand there?" Xia Zichen asked with his lips pursed.
"When do you want me to stand there?" Xia Yuze asked back.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Xia Zichen apologized for his concealment. Although this is not a big deal between the father and the son, for Xia Zichen, who has only his father since childhood, this concealment obviously made him feel guilty.
"I'm not angry about this." Xia Yuze looked at his son who was a little depressed and smiled: "Dad just wants to know who that person is?"
"Hmm.ˋˊ" Xia Zichen nodded. Since he was a child, Xia Yuze has never gotten angry with him. Even if he did something wrong, as his father, Xia Yuze has always been justified. "His name is Gu Xu. Our understanding is a bit complicated. When he knew me and my newborn report, I knew him in the game..."
Afterwards, Xia Zichen told Xia Yuze the process of getting to know each other, including going to his company today. However, the Gu family had investigated him because they had intended to hire Xia Yuze. Although Xia Zichen could understand this, he would also feel uncomfortable when he heard about it, let alone his father.
Xia Yuze listened to Xia Zichen's words carefully. In fact, Xia Zichen has always been talking little, and the father and son haven't sat down and said something like they are now, and Xia Zichen has always been talking about it.
Xia Zichen said it in detail. When talking about Gu Xu, Xia Zichen's eyes shone with a happy light and looked very happy. Although he was still a little awkward when facing the parents, he did not hide his happy mood. It also allowed Xia Yuze to see his son's seriousness and dedication to this relationship from him.
"If I hadn't met today, when would you tell me?" After hearing Xia Zichen finish talking about the two of them, Xia Yuze picked up the coffee and took a sip.
"Actually, he mentioned that he wanted to see you before the holiday, but I didn't know how to tell you at that time... so it has been delayed until now." Xia Zichen explained. He always remembered this, but he never found a suitable opportunity to tell his father. In addition, Xia Yuze has been very busy these days, and it is difficult for the father and son to say a few words a day.
"You kid..." Xia Yuze sighed helplessly, "Dad can tell that you like him very much. He was worried that you would always be so single before, but now he is very happy to see that you have a boyfriend. But what happened to Gu Xu? Dad needs to observe it carefully.ˋˊ"
After all, Xia Yuze is a experienced person, and some things are thought more than the young people like them and can see far.
"As for which step you can go, I don't want to interfere with you. After all, it's your relationship." Xia Yuze reached out and touched Xia Zichen's hair and continued: "No matter what the result is, Dad hopes that in this experience you can learn how to manage your relationship, understand the principles and wisdom of love, cherish what you have now, and maintain a peaceful mind."
Xia Zichen nodded seriously, "I understand, dad."
Although his father's relationship was very failed, the truth in these words was always correct. This is also the reason why his father was able to quickly adjust his state and start a new life after he got out of that failed relationship. Xia Zichen has always admired Xia Yuze for this. This not only requires a calm heart, but also requires a real strength in his heart.
"Then see if he has time, let him come back for a meal." Xia Yuze said.
"Okay." Xia Zichen responded without hesitation, "I'll call him to ask later."
Since that time, Gu Xu never mentioned seeing Xia Yuze again, and probably didn't want to put pressure on him. Although Xia Yuze encountered a little embarrassment today, seeing the parents' affairs move forward, it can be considered as an accidental cause of good things.
When Gu Xu returned home, he received a call from Xia Zichen and told about what tonight. When he heard Xia Yuze want to see him, Gu Xu agreed without saying a word. Xia Zichen and Xia Yuze called out the time and planned to let him come to Xia's house next weekend.
Although it was a few days before meeting the parents, Gu Xu began to ask Xia Yuze's preferences early. Xia Zichen was also a little troubled when asked by him.
Speaking of his father, Xia Zichen couldn't say what he liked. ˋˊ Maybe he lived a hard life before, and didn't have the heart to like something, or cultivate some interests and hobbies, and was busy working hard every day for life. Now that life is getting better, I ask him what Xia Yuze likes, but Xia Zichen is really not able to answer it.
Xia Yuze has no special preferences in life. He is not good at smoking and drinking, nor is he picky about food. At most, he starts to learn to enjoy life, knows that he eats better every day and doesn’t deal with it. He will watch movies and listen to music when he has time... If this is a hobby, it seems too far-fetched...
During the preparations for meeting the parents, the company officially opened. Xia Zichen did not go on the day of opening. The next night the two had a meal together, which was considered a celebration and discussed the meeting with the parents in detail.
Xia Zichen held his chin and watched Gu Xu ask around, and finally came to a conclusion - Gu Xu was nervous.
Of course, he didn't have the nerve to say this conclusion so as not to hurt Gu Xu's face. However, he really thought Gu Xu was very cute, a kind of cuteness that was very responsible.
At noon on Saturday, Gu Xu came to the door with a gift. Not long after Xia Zichen got up, he was wandering around at home in his pajamas. Xia Yuze was dizzy by his eyes and went into the kitchen to look at the soup.
As soon as the doorbell rang, Xia Zichen quickly walked over to open the door. When he saw Gu Xu in casual clothes, he smiled, "It's quite early."
Xia Yuze made an appointment for lunch, and Gu Xu came at this time neither early nor late.
"You just got up?" Gu Xu looked at Xia Zichen with his hair slightly sleeping and said with a smile.
"It's been a while." Xia Zichen asked Gu Xu into the door, saw what he was carrying, and said, "Didn't you say you don't have to bring anything?"
Last night, Xia Yuze told Xia Zichen that it would be enough to let Gu Xu come, and there was no need to prepare things. ˋˊI think his father was a bit bad, which made Gu Xu think about what gift to give for a long time, and he didn't say it was not needed the night before. Xia Zichen instinctively felt that his father must have done it on purpose.
"I am not always empty when I come to the house for the first time." Gu Xu changed into slippers that he had prepared long ago. Their family has always had this habit. No matter when they visit someone else's house, things must be missing.
Hearing the sound, Xia Yuze walked out of the kitchen, "Come?"
The light was too dark last time, and he didn't see Gu Xu's appearance clearly. He met officially today. In terms of appearance, Gu Xu gave him a very good first impression.
"Hello uncle, I'm Gu Xu." Gu Xu said with a smile, and handed the gift in his hand to Xia Yuze. "I don't know what you like, so I chose it as you want. I hope uncle won't dislike it."
His father is over 20 years older than Xia Yuze. He can only call him Uncle Xia Yuze in this way. If he calls him uncle, he will call him old.
"Didn't you tell Chenchen to tell you yesterday that you don't have to bring anything? Let's just have a meal together." Xia Yuze took the gift and glanced at Xia Zichen. Yesterday, Xia Zichen called in the living room, and he also heard it.
"Well, have you bought the gift long ago or brought it?"
Xia Yuze looked at the things in the bag, nodded quite satisfied, and greeted: "Come and sit down."
"Okay." Gu Xu walked into the living room as he spoke.
What he gave Xia Yuze was a set of exquisite coffee pots and some coffee powder ground with high-quality coffee beans. ˋˊAlthough Xia Zichen couldn't tell what his father liked, through his description of some details, Gu Xu felt that Xia Yuze should be a person who was willing to enjoy life. Such people would have a little bit of a mood when they were alone, and it was also a mood to make coffee by themselves. At least the people in his family couldn't make anything else, but they were good at making coffee.
Xia Zichen took the coffee pot in, poured water and served the fruit for Gu Xu, and stayed in the kitchen to cook, allowing his father to chat with Gu Xu. Only by having a positive contact between people can we deepen our understanding. He wanted to go on with Gu Xu, want to be recognized by his family, and want Gu Xu to become a member of his family, so this kind of separate communication is very necessary.
"It will take a while before the meal starts. You can eat some fruit first." Xia Yuze sat on the single sofa.
"No need to be too troublesome, just be simple." Gu Xu was not very picky about food. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the fresh fragrance of soup. At a glance, he knew that the meal was prepared very carefully.
"Today, Chef Chenchen, let's wait for the meal."
Gu Xu took a look at the direction of the kitchen, but the door was closed and he couldn't see the person inside.
"Let him get it. If he is in a good mood, he can cook a table of good dishes for you. If he is in a bad mood, he will send you a bowl of water." Xia Yuze asked with a smile: "Have he cooked for you?"
"Cook some quick food." When Xia Zichen lived in his dormitory, he occasionally cooked dumplings and dumplings for midnight snacks, but most of them rely on takeaway.
"Then eat more today." Xia Yuze took a piece of watermelon and ate it, "I heard from Chenchen that you are doing business at home."
"Yes, I didn't tell Chenchen in detail about this, for fear that he felt burdened. Now the Gu family group in City N belongs to my family, but I don't participate in the matter there." It's hard to say to Xia Zichen to explain his father. Gu Xu is very clear about this point, "I am now working in an online game company, and I'm just starting out, and I'm still exploring a lot of things. The company is not listed under the Gu family's name, and it is my own industry."
Although Shengchen's technical staff was chosen by Gu Yan, 90% of the company's startup capital was earned by him over the years, and Gu Yan only invested 10% of him. He always wanted to make a breakthrough by himself, which was also an opportunity for Gu Xu.
"Gu's?" Xia Zichen may not know, but Xia Yuze still knows the business circle in City N, and he himself is a lawyer who specializes in commercial lawsuits.
"Well, I don't want to hide this. However, Chenchen doesn't seem to know much about Gu's family, so I didn't say much." Gu Xu said: "My current company chooses to develop separately, so it is to let Chenchen take charge of my assets in the future."
"He?" Xia Yuze shook his head when he heard Gu Xu's plan, "He wants to know that if you ask him to take care of your money, he will probably turn against you. This child is not used to relying on others and has always been very independent."
"I know, I will do this in private. He doesn't have to really help me. I just need to open an account in his name. This is also to give him an additional guarantee for his future." His father's private assets are all in his mother's name, and they are secretly done by his father, so the richest person in the Gu family is actually his mother.
Xia Yuze sighed slightly, "You are by his side, the best guarantee for him."
"Well, I understand. But I always want to be nicer to him." Speaking of this, Gu Xu's smile deepened a little, "But if he said this, he would definitely have to glare at me again."
"You can't just spoil him, he will definitely be spoiled by you."
"Chenchen is a good person, so he can't go much worse."
Although Xia Zichen and Gu Xu have not said a few words since they entered the door, and their performances are also very restrained, but when listening to the joy that Gu Xu said, Xia Yuze believes that the two children are really in love.
Gu Xu had a lot of plans for Xia Zichen and was very considerate. But he silently did not tell Xia Zichen, and only told him that he was a father, just to make him feel at ease.
Neither Xia Zichen value money, and he was also worried that Gu Xu would suppress Xia Zichen too much in life because of his family background. However, after a few words, Xia Yuze found that Gu Xu did not have a superior attitude, and many things were based on Xia Zichen's ideas.
Xia Yuze feels that this is also a blessing for Xia Zichen to meet such a person without the temper or attitude of a rich child.
"Your family agrees that you are with Chenchen?" After learning about his personal experience, Xia Yuze also needs to understand his family's ideas. After all, these are related to two families.
"You don't have to worry at my family. I have already told them about Chenchen. They would have come back to see Chenchen long ago, but there is something delayed abroad and it will take about November to come back." Gu Xu said frankly: "Chenchen will not be wronged in my family. Compared to those who want to marry the Gu family for the sake of interests, my parents hope that we can find a simple person to live happily for the rest of our lives. Gender is not a problem for them."
"That's good." In this way, Xia Yuze had nothing to worry about. As for whether they could reach the end, it was not something he could say. They also needed to work hard on their own.
"When my parents return to China, I'll invite you to have a meal together." Gu Xu also knew that it was not just her own words that could be completely convinced, and many things would be polished by time. The atmosphere between the parents of both sides was harmonious and enhanced, which also consolidated the relationship between the two.
"Okay." Xia Yuze nodded. From the beginning to the end, Gu Xu gave him a calm feeling. He believed that such a down-to-earth and steady boy could give Xia Zichen a stable life.
This is also the best for Xia Zichen...
The author has something to say: I have updated it, I wonder if you feel resentful of me in your heart and the pressure is so great.
Now everyone is almost on holiday, I wish you a happy holiday first.
