chapter 17

Even though she had been no longer running the company, Grandma of Gu Family knew very well about the business circle, “We seldom see you in the cocktail party or business.”

“I have been studying abroad for the past few years and have come back recently.” Bai Weijin replied calmly.

She answered all the questions and kept her countenance.

There was more appreciation for Bai Weijin in the eyes of Grandma of Gu Family.

“How do you know each other?” Grandma of Gu Family smiled and continued to ask.

This time Gu Yeze aside answered, “I met Xiao Jin at a business meeting and then we kept developing our relationship.”

Xiao Jin? Bai Weijin choked on the name and almost spat out a mouthful of rice, but she controlled herself.

“Well, she is a very clever girl. No wonder you like her.”

“Bai Weijin lowered her head and smiled after hearing that, “Thank you, grandma.”

“Xiao Jin is a good girl and I don’t want to miss her. Grandma, we are going to get engaged in three days.”

Grandma of Gu Family kept smiling, “Oh? Time is too short.”

Although Gu Yeze respected and had close relations with his grandma, no one could change his decision.

“Grandma, it’s not short. Three days is enough for preparing a boisterous engagement.”

Actually, that was not what Grandma of Gu Family meant. When seeing that Gu Yeze tried to talk about something else, she did not ask further. She just put some food in his bowl and said, “Eat first.”

Everyone had the meal in perfect harmony. Bai Weijin knew that Grandma of Gu Family who was in charge of the whole Gu Group after Gu Yeze’s grandpa died must be more than a kind old woman she appeared to be.

This was a shrewd and powerful woman. Even though some of her rough edges were smoothed by the time and tide, it didn’t mean that she had lost her outstanding powers of observation.

It was a very foolish thing to lie in front of a wise man.

So when Grandma of Gu Family asked about her family, although Bai Weijin hid the privacy part, she stated the rest clearly and honestly.

Besides, she didn’t say much except answering the questions of Grandma of Gu Family. She was well versed in the fact that to speak too much was to lose. What was more, Gu Yeze also spoke a few words for her from time to time.

The eyes of Grandma of Gu Family gradually revealed a sincere smile, no longer the kind but the distant smile she had had at first.

After a meal, Grandma of Gu Family asked Aunt Wu to show Bai Weijin around and then she called Gu Yeze into the room.

“Xiao Ze, do you really want to marry Bai Weijin, the first daughter of Bai Family? I hear that she is not very popular at home.” Although Grandma of Gu Family appreciated Bai Weijin, she still hoped that Gu Yeze could marry a woman with a strong background.

“Yes, grandma.” Gu Yeze said firmly.

“Bai Weijin is really a good girl, but the daughter of Tan Family is also the one I handpicked for you. She has a good personality. The background of Tan Family is similar to ours. What’s more, she is the apple of her family’s eyes. If we connect to Tan Family through marriage, we will get more convenience in business in the future.” Grandma of Gu Family still tried to persuade him.

It was not because Grandma of Gu Family was snobbish, but because since she married into Gu Family, she had been running Gu Group wholeheartedly with Master of Gu Family. She had devoted too much effort to Gu Group all her life.

She would prioritize anything that was good for the company.

“Grandma, with the current strength of Gu Group, we don’t need any help from other families. Things will only get better and better for Gu Group in the future.” Gu Yeze said with confidence.

When seeing his grandma still had a little concern, Gu Yeze continued, “Maybe Tan Family can help to make our business even better, but it is not the only choice. I don’t take Tan Family seriously.”
