He secretly changed his character

Gu Xiangquan sat there and waited for him to walk out the door. Suddenly he took a sip of coffee. The coffee had already gone cold. He drank it reluctantly. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He threw the cup towards the door.

Amid the sound of crackling coffee, the manager of the coffee shop came over cautiously, nodding and bowing. "Mr. Gu, are you dissatisfied with your coffee today? I'll have someone make you another cup right away. Just consider it my treat today."

Gu Xiangquan looked at him and shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't I have money? Can't I afford your coffee?"

The manager immediately waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant..."

Gu Xiangquan stood up, took two steps, and looked back at him, "Everyone's expenses today will be charged to my account."

……

Jiang Tunan has seemed no different from his usual self since returning to Longcheng and then going abroad, but he does regret it.

Jiang Tunan didn't regret his rebellious attitude towards Gu Xiangquan that day. He knew that no matter how good or bad his attitude was, it would not increase his dosage by a few milligrams, so he let it go and felt relieved.

He just regretted speaking without thinking at that time. He just wanted to kill Gu Xiangquan's arrogance, but he never thought that he would make Gu Hanzhu a cannon fodder in this invisible smoke of war.

After all, he had feelings for her. Thinking about it later, he realized that what he said was inappropriate and that he spoke too harshly to her.

I don’t know if Gu Xiangquan told her about this. She has been unusually quiet in recent days and even stopped making the daily phone calls. I don’t know if she is angry.

Jiang Tunan was unsure. Even though he had never thought that he would be with Gu Hanzhu until the end, he didn't want the two of them to make a mess and have no way out.

This uneasiness has continued until now.

It was not until Lu Zichu asked, "Who are you angry with?" that Jiang Tunan suddenly remembered that his current state was somewhat dangerous, because he was subconsciously too immersed in the role.

"What do I have to be angry about?"

Seeing him like this, Lu Zichu understood clearly that this kid was definitely jealous, but he didn't realize it in his heart. And hearing his tone, it was like a child being upset with him. It was obvious that others could see through it at a glance, but he was still trying to cover it up. I don't know what the reason is.

Lu Zichu was worried about the things Gu Hanzhu asked him to do. Besides, Jiang Tunan was his closest brother, so of course he would spare no effort in his affairs.

If two people can be together for life, he will certainly be happy to see it, and he wants to make it happen. But knowing Jiang Tunan's stubborn temper, he can only adopt a roundabout tactic and hint at it, "An Ran will get married after the New Year, and now Uncle Jiang has settled down, and you are the only one left. You should also pay more attention."

"Are you a distant aunt? You've even arranged for me to get married."

"Hey, honestly, what's wrong with Han Zhu? Have you ever thought about getting married?"

"No."

"Why? Is there something wrong with her?"

Jiang Tunan stopped talking.

Lu Zichu raised his foot and kicked his shoes, "Speak."

Jiang Tunan asked knowingly, "What?"

"What's not good about Hanzhu?"

"She is good in every way, like a fairy, and it's hard to find a single flaw in her—"

Lu Zichu's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Jiang Tunan was just playing tricks on him, but he never expected that he continued speaking and completed the second half of the sentence.

“Sometimes it’s not that the other person isn’t good enough that you can’t go on. Quite the contrary, it’s because she’s too good and not what you dreamed of. So all you can do is let her go and let her run to someone better than you.”

"But you're not bad either—" Lu Zichu said this sincerely, not as a consolation. Jiang Tunan was tall and handsome, had excellent education, and was an industry elite. Although he wasn't a second-generation rich man with a fortune, he had a house and a car.

Girls are always vying for him wherever he goes, and he has just cured his inferiority complex. However, he never expected to be belittled by Gu Xiangquan. It was not just that he disliked his background, but that he questioned his character.

This is Jiang Tunan's Achilles' heel. No one can hit it, or they will be attacked back.

"——I really think you are excellent..."

"That's what you think, not everyone thinks so. In Gu Xiangquan's heart, the person who can be his son-in-law is next door, a rich second-generation man like Fei Mingze who has a noble family background and both talent and appearance, not a phoenix man like me who flew out of a chicken coop.

"Tell me what else I have besides everything I have worked so hard for, that I can catch Gu Xiangquan's eye. Is it a good family background? My parents' respectable status? My ancestors' huge fortune?

"I'm not saying anything harsh, Zichu, but luckily you didn't pursue Hanzhu back then, otherwise, a nouveau riche like you would have been humiliated by Gu Xiangquan and you wouldn't even be able to raise your head."

These words were a bit heartbreaking. Lu Zichu had always known that Jiang Tunan was cynical and had a serious hatred of the rich. His words were like nails that seemed to be hammered into people's hearts, making them feel uncomfortable all over.

But listening to his last sentence, especially the word "also" was very meaningful, which implied that something unpleasant must have happened that day. He didn't want to argue with him.

In fact, he didn't need to say it bluntly, Lu Zichu understood this truth. The rich and powerful have always attached great importance to the concept of family background. If they can choose a perfect partner, they will definitely not choose one with imperfections.

He just felt sorry for Gu Hanzhu. He could see that she really loved Jiang Tunan. It was such a pity that they were separated by someone else.

Especially since there is not only Gu Xiangquan, a wolf-like opponent, but also Jiang Tunan, a pig-like teammate.

"Tunan, have you never thought about being with Hanzhu till the end?"

Jiang Tunan did not answer, but continued to talk to himself, "Zichu, I have never despised my origins. One should not forget one's roots, let alone one's biological children. It is precisely because they are not biological father and son that the love of raising a child is so deep and profound."

"I know, I've always known it. Really, I never thought you were blaming Uncle Jiang for not giving you a good family background. I understand this feeling, you're just disappointed that everything he gave you with all his strength has become nothing special in the eyes of others. You're just sad for him, and angry for him——"

Lu Zichu wanted to say something else, but Jiang Tunan suddenly came over and hugged him, then patted his back. It seemed like he was comforting him, but in fact, it was he who was comforting him.

"Zi Chu, it's great to have you..."

Lu Zichu also patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, you're usually so aggressive, but now you know how to restrain yourself."

After a pause, he asked again, "Han Zhu's father didn't say anything excessive, right?"

"He can't piss me off, but I might piss him off to death."

"what?"

"Of course. Who am I, Jiang Tunan? I can make people angry to death. Who can be better at talking than me?"

"He didn't give you a check?"

"Give it."

"Did you receive it?"

Jiang Tunan let go of Lu Zichu and rolled his eyes at him, "It would be a waste if you don't take it."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters."

"Break up with Han Zhu?"
