Chapter 700 The Wu Family
Someone is going to propose marriage to Xia Lu.
It is hard to tell from Gao Ge’s face how he feels upon hearing the news.
Yet, in fact, he himself doesn’t know what he is thinking about.
Maybe...
His mind is just in a mess?
After Song Yuan and Susu leave, Gao Ge lies on the sofa with narrowed eyes, holding the teacup.
When he drinks up the tea and wants to put the cup on the table, he drops the cup on the ground and it breaks.
The clanking sound breaks the quietness of the room.
“It is better to use a stainless steel cup,” Gao Ge mutters to himself. Then, he stands up and takes a few tissues to clean up the mess.
He puts the porcelain pieces into a box and throws the box into the trash bin lest the cleaner should be cut in the hand when disposing of the rubbish. As he deals with the porcelain pieces in this way, such a thing can be avoided.
Everyone should look out for others all the time!
When Gao Ge is about to light up the next cigarette, lying on the sofa, he suddenly realizes that he has smoked three cigarettes within ten minutes.
Now that he has lit up the cigarette, he should have no qualms of conscience to smoke it anyway.
When he finishes a cigarette and puts the cigarette butt to the ashtray, Gao Ge rubs his numb face and stands before the floor-to-ceiling window to watch the scenery outside of the window.
He remains silent and thinks for a long time. Then, he gives a bitter smile.
The doorbell rings.
He opens the door and looks at Susu and Song Yuan outside.
“Have you thought it through?” Song Yuan asks with a smile.
Gao Ge shrugs.
“Actually, if she can really marry a good man, I don’t think it is a bad thing,” Gao Ge returns to the sofa and says in a low voice.
Susu and Song Yuan look each other in the eye and both of them are a bit taken aback.
historical
“Just say what you want to say.” Gao Ge rubs his temples and sprawls out on the sofa.
“I mean, Gao Ge, that’s what you come up with after thinking for such a long time?” Song Yuan finds him quite unbelievable.
Susu also hastens to nod her head to express her disgruntlement about Gao Ge’s current attitude.
Gao Ge looks up at them and says, “What else can I say?”
“Go and get her back!” Susu says bluntly.
After saying that, she is a bit nervous and can’t help turning around to look at Song Yuan. When she finds that Song Yuan is not angry, she finally lets out a sigh of relief.
It seems that she didn’t say the wrong thing.
Yet, she doesn’t know she just took the words out of Song Yuan’s mouth.
He is quite happy that Susu said that.
“Do you want to say that I’m a jerk...” Gao Ge murmurs.
Susu is a bit stunned. “Is it so obvious?”
“Yes, for now...” Gao Ge says in a low voice.
Susu feels a bit embarrassed.
She feels that she is kind of familiar with Gao Ge but they are not so close that she can roast him at will.
Therefore, she is a bit worried whether her reaction will piss off Gao Ge.
Yet, judging from Gao Ge’s appearance, he doesn’t look mad at all.
She is finally relieved.
“Actually, I do think that if she can marry a good man, it will be a relief for her and me. After all, it is not appropriate for her to keep following me. I can’t give her anything. Besides, we are friends all the time,” Gao Ge says with a smile.
Susu thinks about it, opens her bag, takes out a mirror, and passes it to Gao Ge.
Gao Ge subconsciously takes the mirror from Susu’s hand. He is quite puzzled and then looks at Susu, blinking his eyes. He has no idea why Susu gives him a mirror.
Susu’s mouth twitched. “You can look at yourself in the mirror and see how ugly your smile is now.”
Gao Ge is speechless.
Of course, he is not that stupid to look into the mirror but he believes what Susu said.
“Gao Ge, what you said just now can perfectly imply that you have feelings for Xia Lu. If you really didn’t feel a thing for her, you wouldn’t say that,” Song Yuan crosses his fingers and says with a smile, “Of course, it is your own business. I shouldn’t say too much about it.”
“I’m really annoyed with those who always claim that they shouldn’t say it but they still must say it. Just say whatever you want to say. Why do you have to be so affected?” Gao Ge says grumpily.
Song Yuan doesn’t mind at all. After all, he has been used to Gao Ge’s straightforward style of talking.
He coughs to kind of clear his throat and then continues talking, “Actually, Xia Lu dislikes the man.”
“...”
Looking at Gao Ge’s confused facial expression, Song Yuan says grinningly, “Do you want to ask me how I know it? After all, I cannot read her mind.”
Gao Ge is a bit surprised and says in a low voice, “Although you cannot read her mind, you can read mine.”
Song Yuan laughs and explains, “In fact, Xia Lu wanted to escape from the Xia Family’s house but she didn’t make it.”
“It doesn’t make sense...” Gao Ge shakes his head.
“You think that with the help of the fox spirit, it should be quite easy for Xia Lu to run away from the Xia Family?” Song Yuan asks.
Gao Ge nods his head. He did think so before but now, he is a bit confused.
“Xia Shengtang is watching her at home.”
Gao Ge finally takes a tumble.
In this case, it kind of makes sense.
Gao Ge knows about Xia Shengtang’s capability. Understandably, the fox spirit is no match for him.
Maybe Xia Shengtang is much stronger than when Gao Ge met him before.
As she is watched by Xia Shengtang, it would take a miracle to run away from the Xia Family.
“Apart from that, we’ve also learned that Xia Shengtang is the one who advises the man to propose marriage.”
Gao Ge flies into a rage.
“What’s the problem with him?”
Song Yuan is amused by his reaction and says, “It looks like that you are deeply discontented about your brother-in-law!”
Gao Ge is stunned and hastens to say with embarrassment, “Nonsense! I didn’t say I was discontented about...”
“So you don’t deny that he is your brother-in-law,” Song Yuan says cross-legged.
Looking at Song Yuan’s complacent smile on his face, Gao Ge suddenly wants to beat him.
Song Yuan coughs and knows that he has incurred resentment.
“By the way, I’ve investigated the man from the blessed spot,” Susu says.
Gao Ge is dazed and looks at her.
Song Yuan aside says with a smile, “Don’t look at her. I asked her to look into this. You are too shy to ask about it but you must want to figure out his background. Actually, you are affected...”
Seeing Gao Ge’s disgruntled eyes, he bites his tongue and almost gets choked.
“It is the Wu Family, one of the blessed spots, that is going to propose marriage to the Xia Family. The Wu Family features its fist method, which kind of has something in common with the Xia Family. It is said that the cultivation level of the master of the Wu Family is unfathomable. Many years ago, he had reached the realm of Grand Master. It is very likely that he has broken through by now.”
“Grand Master? And he has broken through?” Gao Ge touches his chin.
“Are you feeling overwhelmingly stressed?” Song Yuan asks.
Gao Ge doesn’t respond to him.
