Chapter 2773 Playing Football!

Gu Jia never expected that her husband would come in and talk so much with Wang Yue, whom he barely knew. This made her realize that Xu Huanshan had probably been in frequent contact with Wang Yue without her knowledge.

So, she was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, which made her previous caution seem completely unnecessary.

A neighbor can be a distant relative who is not as good as a close neighbor, or it can be a complete stranger.

Gu Jia and Wang Manni are friends, so their families should be very close. However, she always thought that their families were only distant.

Wang Yue had no idea what Gu Jia was thinking. He had chatted with Xu Huanshan every time they met recently, so they were already quite familiar with each other.

Seeing Xu Huanshan's frustration, he comforted him, saying, "Old Xu, you need to understand one thing: your so-called fireworks show isn't really that unique. Whether the amusement park uses yours or someone else's design, it's all the same."

Now that Mrs. Yu is doing a good job, Mr. Yu is willing to give her face and let her take good care of the children for him.

It may seem like you or the order is too easy, but in reality, Mrs. Yu has sacrificed her time and become completely trapped by Mr. Yu's bait.

Moreover, in my experience, people like Mr. Yu usually seek marriage alliances to maintain their status as wealthy individuals.

However, Mr. Yu has only married a minor celebrity, probably for the sake of having children and his own physical needs, so it's impossible for him to let his wife have children.

Mrs. Yu is still young, so things are a bit better now. But when she gets old, none of her children are her own, and her later years will probably be very lonely.

So if you want to express your gratitude, just thank Mrs. Yu properly; don't worry about what Boss Yu thinks.

After hearing Wang Yue's words, Gu Jia suddenly realized how pitiful the wives in the social circle were, and said with a sigh, "Mrs. Yu is a minor celebrity. I thought that she had married Mr. Yu and entered into a wealthy family. I didn't expect that she would only enjoy her youth for a few years. It's really heartbreaking."

After hearing this, Wang Manni imagined her past dreams and was startled.

You have to understand that Mrs. Yu was a minor celebrity who married into a wealthy family but still couldn't find love. How is she any better than Mrs. Yu?
It wasn't until this moment that Wang Manni realized that if Wang Yue hadn't suddenly appeared and saved her, her fate might have been even worse than Mrs. Yu's.

Her gaze softened considerably when she looked at Wang Yue; she felt that Wang Yue had come to save her!

Wang Manni was also curious and asked about Mrs. Yu's life at the gathering, and Gu Jia patiently explained.

The three people in the room were discussing relationship issues, but Xu Huanshan was still stuck on the previous question.

Xu Huanshan waited for a moment, then suddenly said in a frustrated tone,

"So, does that mean my skill is actually useless? That's really discouraging."

Seeing that Xu Huanshan was still hesitating, Wang Yue glanced at Gu Jia, his meaning all too clear: "With Xu Huanshan's emotional intelligence, are you suggesting he manage the company because it's doing too well?"

Gu Jia immediately understood Wang Yue's meaning, which made her feel somewhat ashamed.

Seeing that Wang Yue wasn't responding to the conversation, Xu Huanshan didn't think Wang Yue and Gu Jia were exchanging barbs. Instead, he felt it wasn't appropriate to discuss their family matters with others, so he smiled and asked...

"Mr. Wang, would you like to play soccer? Shen Jie and I made plans to play soccer together tomorrow, this weekend. Didn't you want to come along last time? Would you like to join us tomorrow?"

Wang Yue was somewhat amused and exasperated. He felt that besides teaching Wang Manni the Six Arts of a Gentleman, he also needed to pretend to adapt to modern society.

So he smiled and said, "Okay, then call me when the time comes!"

Gu Jia felt the conversation could end there. As for their future interactions, she suggested that her husband and Wang Yue spend more time together, perhaps developing a buddy-buddy relationship. So, she took the opportunity to say goodbye.

After seeing Gu Jia and her husband off, Wang Manni asked with some suspicion, "A-Yue, do you know how to play soccer? No, do you even know what soccer is?"

Wang Yue suppressed a laugh and said seriously, "I don't know, but judging from the literal meaning, it means using your feet, so I think I can still play it."

"Besides, if I want to pretend to be a modern person, I naturally need to experience some aspects of modern life. If I hadn't responded earlier, wouldn't it have seemed too strange?"

Wang Manni felt that what Wang Yue said made a lot of sense, so she took out her phone and looked up some information about football for Wang Yue. She even watched some instructional videos with him, just to teach him how to play.

After watching the video, Wang Manni felt it wasn't safe enough, so she took Wang Yue to a sporting goods store and bought him a few sets of soccer equipment. They played soccer together in their living room at home.

Wang Yue actually wanted to say that it was fine to kick it outside, but Wang Manni felt that it had to be kept a secret. As a result, the two of them kicked and broke a lot of teaware.

Fortunately, they had money now, so Wang Manni only bought a few more sets. However, the clanging and banging around here annoyed the downstairs neighbors, who came upstairs and complained. Only then did Wang Manni give up and let Wang Yue continue practicing.

……

The weekend arrived quickly, and Xu Huanshan invited Wang Yue to join him early in the morning.

Wang Manni was naturally worried about Wang Yue, an ancient person, playing football with modern people, so she wanted to go along.

Gu Jia was initially unwilling to go see it, since she had been really busy with company matters lately, so she wanted to take advantage of the weekend to go to the company to check it out.

But since Wang Manni had already gone to the stadium, Gu Jia felt embarrassed not to go either.

So the two families went to the basketball court together, where they met Shen Jie, and then went to meet up with the others.

Wang Manni and Gu Jia came to the sidelines to help everyone keep an eye on the things.

Xu Huanshan introduced Wang Yue to everyone, then turned to Wang Yue and asked, "Old Wang, which position do you play?"

Wang Yue knew that most of the players who came to play wanted to be strikers, and even the defenders were skilled. He didn't want to perform too well on his first try, so he smiled and said, "I don't have gloves, but I used to be a goalkeeper."

The fat man, who had already put on the gloves, immediately said excitedly, "We goalkeepers take turns. If you'd like, you can try these gloves on me. Next time you play as a defender, and I'll be the goalkeeper."
