Delayed confession

The moonlight outside the window is bright and the stars are twinkling.

The Gu family mansion was gradually shrouded in neon lights. Because it was a private residence, it was rare to have the tranquility in the midst of hustle and bustle.

But in this quiet study, the confrontation between father and son has just begun.

"You think you are superior to others... a vulgar person." Gu Mochuan played with the white jade ornament in his hand, not caring at all about his father who was already angry and had a black face.

"In your eyes, love and marriage are things that can be turned into money. Apart from money, you have nothing else."

The man spoke slowly as if he was accusing the other party of being ruthless.

“The money is not good…How is your car, is the store running comfortably?

Without money, the girl won't even be your friend.

You don't believe it? Think about it, are there any poor friends or suitors around her? "

Gu Boyuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. After standing with his back turned for a long time, he threw out an agreement from the drawer.

"You want love, right? Okay, sign this agreement and move out."

[Give up the right to inherit property]

Gu Mochuan looked at the document that had obviously been prepared for a long time, and raised his head to glance at his father inquiringly.

Gu Boyuan was indeed a man who had been fighting in the business world for most of his life. Not only did he not explain the reason for drafting this document, but he also looked him straight in the eyes and said in a heavier tone,

"If you don't sign, you can go ahead and marry the person of my choice."

……

Looking at the lonely figure leaving downstairs, Gu Boyuan hugged his wife in his arms and nodded silently.

Wen Jing also leaned her head on her husband's shoulder. Neither of them showed any sadness on their faces about their son running away from home. Instead, they were seriously showing their love.

"If we kick our son out, will the girl be willing to give him a chance?"

"That girl won't believe this nonsense about giving up inheritance. I just want to use this incident to train him." Gu Boyuan said in a deep voice.

"If he keeps thinking about love affairs every day, how can he take over my job? The people under him are all eyeing him covetously."

After watching their son walk out of sight, the couple sat back on the sofa.

"Actually, that girl is not bad. Our family doesn't need a marriage."

Hearing his wife's words, Gu Boyuan stood up and took out a document from the study.

"..." Looking at his wife's increasingly solemn expression, Gu Boyuan also said with regret,

"This girl is a good person in every way... except that she has a gambling relative and a pair of indecisive parents."

Wen Jing also shook her head regretfully.

To be honest, she was very satisfied with Xu Weixi. She was beautiful, dignified and generous, and the Shen family valued her in words and deeds.

Before, she got angry because her husband disagreed, and she felt that he only cared about his career and not his son's happiness.

But when she saw this information...she also backed off.

With such an outstanding-looking child in such a family, who can guarantee that the other party does not have other thoughts?

Her son seems to be willing to give up anything for her, but in the end he squanders all the family property and is left with nothing. What should she do then?

It seems that it is very necessary to drive my son out to experience the dangers of society.

Sichuan coffee shop,

"Are you running away from home?" Looking at the man carrying a suitcase, An Yuchen teased with a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"The old man asked me to make a choice, and I chose to give up my wealth and pursue love."

Gu Mochuan took out the toiletries from the suitcase and put them in place. Looking at his friend who was still lying in the rocking chair and watching the fun, he threw a pillow over to him.

"Does your mother know that you are so great?" An Yuchen didn't believe that the weak Aunt Wen would let her precious son suffer.

After all, she is a woman who can pack up her meals and take them abroad.

"Of course, she and the old man worked together to set up this trap."

After hearing this part of the story, An Yuchen finally showed some curiosity about the subsequent development of the story. In order to show respect, he even bowed.

"How to say?"

“When I saw the old man take out this piece of paper, my first reaction was…whether I had other brothers and sisters.

Similarly, if my mother didn’t know about this, her first reaction when she saw this piece of paper would be to ask the old man if he had someone else outside.

But she didn't say anything, and didn't even pull me hard, she just raised her arm symbolically."

"If they knew you were to frame them like this, they might actually want to have a second child. Then someone would really want to share your property with you."

An Yuchen helped him unfold the folding sofa.

"Whatever, I'm just afraid he doesn't want to. Do you know why my second uncle studied for a doctorate?"

Gu Mochuan said as he spread the bed sheets, "Because my grandfather said that whoever gets into college doesn't have to deal with the company's business. In the same year, my second uncle passed once, but my old man failed three times."

"It's strange, there are still people who don't love money?"

“…My family used to sell cement.”

“Hahahaha…” An Yuchen couldn’t help it anymore and laughed out loud, holding his stomach.

Gu Mochuan sat on the bed, propped up his hands, and suddenly realized,

"Her father builds houses and my family sells cement, so we are a perfect match."

"But this company started to transform when it was in your grandfather's hands," An Yuchen reminded.

"Yes."

The man lowered his head in frustration, as if the connection he had finally established had been broken again.

An Yuchen patted his shoulder comfortingly.

Although his friend’s journey to pursue love is long and far, he still expressed his views on the matter.

"Could it be that your idle and unmotivated image not only attracted the attention of your parents, but was also the reason why that girl rejected you?"

"Is it possible?" Gu Mochuan tried hard to recall every detail between them.

It seems really... a bit sloppy.

"Look, if she has a preconceived notion that you need to rely on your family, then she will inevitably be controlled by your family in the future. Based on your description, she should not be the type who is willing to live this kind of life."

Speaking of this, An Yuchen suddenly thought of another thing.

"By the way, does she know that you are the boss of Wenxin Investment Bank?"

"I haven't told her yet. I was planning on surprising her when I proposed."

Looking at his friend's innocent expression, An Yuchen really wanted to shake him awake. His girlfriend didn't even agree, but you're thinking of proposing to him?

"Are you going to tell? I don't understand. Why did you hide it from your parents?"

"I'm useless, they all think... we're not suitable. If they knew, they would probably not date anyone who is not a descendant of the royal family."

He put a lot of thought into narrowing the gap between them.

An Yuchen touched his chin and nodded in agreement, "They are not wrong. When you were studying abroad, wasn't there a princess from a small country who pursued you?"

Gu Mochuan ignored his friend's teasing and waved while lying on the sofa bed, "Go home quickly, there will be no subway in a while."

"Well, it's quite late. If I don't go back, my wife will be angry." An Yuchen walked to the door and said deliberately with a smug tone.

As the pillow fell to the ground, he walked away in a dashing manner.

Monday,

Looking at the reminder of the Frost Descent solar term on his phone, Xu Weixi walked out the door and went back to the house to get a scarf before going downstairs.

At the entrance of the building, she subconsciously looked up following the man's gaze, and sure enough, Fang Yuan was observing from upstairs.

Perhaps because he saw the girl looking up, Fang Yuan quickly retracted his head.
