“In that case, does Professor Gu know about my husband?” Tangning continued to question Gu Qingli.
“Who in Beijing doesn’t know him?” Gu Qingli replied naturally. “President Mo has been doing business for many years and he’s practically invincible.”
“In that case, do you think you have a similar vibe as my husband?” Tangning asked before she explained, “I’m sure you understand what I’m trying to say. I’m afraid that Ziyan may be trying to find her father’s image in you and she doesn’t actually love you.”
After hearing this, Gu Qingli lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. He then looked up and replied, “To be honest, Auntie, I think President Mo and I are very different people. Besides, I’m sure that Ziyan can differentiate between us. Most importantly, love is something between two people. If I can’t sense that she is truly in love with me, then I wouldn’t waste my time on this relationship either.”
Tangning looked at Gu Qingli in detail. She could tell how serious he was and she could tell that he was a calm person that didn’t get easily flustered.
He was quite a capable person.
“In that case, what are your plans from now on? As you know, Ziyan is Hai Rui’s successor, so she is going to be very busy in the future.”
“You don’t need to worry about that, Auntie. Apart from teaching, I also have many investments, so I’m confident that I can help her manage her time.”
This guy’s answers were flawless.
Tangning couldn’t think of a reason to reject him, nor could she think of a way to make things difficult for him any longer. So, she surrendered.
“You need to understand. As a mother that knows her daughter has been in love with a man for 4 years without receiving any reciprocation, it’s only natural for me to be worried and upset.”
“I’m sorry, Auntie. It was my fault for not reading Ziyan’s letter and discovering her feelings earlier. However, I will do my best to make up for it.”
The two chatted in the living room for a long time. Finally, Mo Ziyan returned from her parents’ bedroom and approached the two, “What bad things did you say behind my back?”
“You’ve only passed my test today, but you haven’t passed her father’s!” Tangning said as she stood up.
“I’m aware of that, Auntie.”
“By the way, her father’s going to be sick for a few days, so no one will be around to call the shots at Hai Rui. She can’t act childishly, she’ll need to report to the office.”
“OK, I’ll plan out her classes and working hours well,” Gu Qingli quickly shouldered this responsibility.
“In that case, show yourself around, I’m going to go back inside to take care of her father.” After saying this, Tangning headed for the bedroom. As for Mo Ziyan, she knew what to do. She simply had to attend Hai Rui the next day.
“What did my mother say to you?” Mo Ziyan immediately asked after Tangning left. “Did she make things difficult for you?”
“Isn’t it normal for a mother-in-law to make things difficult for her son-in-law?” Gu Qingli asked. He then revealed a reassuring smile, “Auntie was actually very reasonable. You don’t need to worry.”
“Good,” Mo Ziyan was satisfied with this answer as she turned to leave with Gu Qingli.
Meanwhile, Mo Ting lay inside his bedroom with a cold expression. He was still the same ruthless CEO, but his body wasn’t as strong as before.
“Has Ziyan gone?”
“Ting…I already had a chat with Professor Gu. He seems like quite a capable young man; no wonder our daughter is interested in him. However, he still needs your approval, otherwise, I’m not completely at ease yet.”
Mo Ting stretched out his hand and brushed some hair behind Tangning’s ear. He then looked at her and said, “I like what you like. Since that’s the case, let’s get her married so we don’t have to worry about her anymore.”
