Three days later is the birthday celebration plot of Old Master Liu. We should still get started on the plot.
The matter with Tang Yunjin can wait until after the celebration plot is over.
Even if the cultivation technique given by Tang Yunjin is real, Gu Chenan would not be able to cultivate much in just three days.
In the plot three days later, the gift Gu Chenan gives Old Master Liu is an extremely valuable jade Guanyin statue.
It is true that men wear Guanyin while women wear Buddha.
But the deeper reason behind this saying is the beautiful meaning it implies.
Men have irritable temperaments and are prone to conflicts with others, so men wear Guanyin in the hope that the wearer can be merciful and gentle towards all things, just like Guanyin.
Women have delicate temperaments, and are prone to being ruled by their emotions when handling certain matters, so women wear Buddha in the hope that the wearer can face events with an equanimous and open mind, just like Maitreya Buddha.
But the problem is, Old Master Liu is a big hero who has killed countless enemies on the battlefield.
What are you trying to say by having him wear Guanyin? That Old Master Liu is too irritable?
Why did he kill all those enemies? Because he has an irritable personality?
Therefore, Old Master Liu feels somewhat unhappy after receiving Gu Chenan's gift.
On the other hand, the gift Lin Yu gave Old Master Liu was a precious sword.
As the saying goes, a precious sword befits a hero.
Old Master Liu loved this gift dearly, and even privately said after the birthday banquet that Lin Yu's gift was the one he was most satisfied with!
In comparison, Gu Chenan's likeability with Old Master Liu dropped considerably in this plot segment.
Of course, this plot was also the original author's way of highlighting that Gu Chenan is an idiot, while Lin Yu is the wise and brilliant protagonist.
Plus, the jade Guanyin from Gu Chenan cost the most money, yet left Old Master Liu feeling unhappy.
Meanwhile, Lin Yu's precious sword was just modern craftsmanship and didn't cost him much money, yet won Old Master Liu's favor and appreciation.
With this contrast, wouldn't it make the reader more satisfied?
Although Gu Chenan knew that giving Old Master Liu a jade Guanyin would displease him, there was nothing he could do.
This was the original plot, and he had to do it this way.
What's more, he actually hoped that Old Master Liu would, in accordance with the original plot, greatly decrease his liking for him!
...
Gu Chenan changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
At this time, Bai Yutian was still gazing longingly at Gu Chenan's room.
Seeing him emerge from the bedroom, she immediately turned her head away, pretending to casually mop the floor.
Gu Chenan walked past her, his expression calm, eyes looking straight ahead.
[Damn, this is so awkward.]
[How the hell did those stockings appear... anyway, I definitely didn't steal them!]
[I'll just pretend those stockings don't exist!]
[Oh right, I'd better hide those stockings well. If they're discovered I'll be socially dead for sure!]
[Speaking of which, Little Sweet's stockings really smell nice~]
[I'll come back tonight at 9pm and get a good whiff of them again, hehe.]
Bai Yutian eavesdropped on Gu Chenan's inner voice, her cheeks instantly flushing red.
Master Gu saying this... means he's already smelled them?
Although it feels kind of perverted, I don't know why but I really like it~
Hehe.
Gu Chenan walked out of the main hall into the manor grounds.
According to the plot, he had to go buy that exorbitantly priced jade Guanyin for Old Master Liu's birthday.
But just as he got in the car and sat down, his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing the number, Gu Chenan's brows furrowed immediately.
It was Su Qianmo!
"Why is she calling me?"
Gu Chenan didn't want to pick up, but had no choice since he was Su Qianmo's loyal dog.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chenan reluctantly answered the call.
"Hey, Qianmo, what's up?" As soon as the call connected, he immediately put on a smiling face.
"I heard from Mingrui that Old Master Liu's birthday banquet is in three days. I'm... I'm your fiancée, so I should attend too, right?" Su Qianmo spoke hesitantly.
After learning Gu Chenan would be attending Old Master Liu's birthday, Su Qianmo had the idea of going together with him.
After all, just yesterday she had personally witnessed Liu Mingrui constantly seducing Gu Chenan.
She was confident in Gu Chenan, but had zero confidence in Liu Mingrui!
In her eyes, Liu Mingrui was nothing but a vixen!
So she called Gu Chenan.
Hearing Su Qianmo's words, Gu Chenan frowned.
[Damn it, what is this nonsense?]
[I just got through that nightmarish scene yesterday, and now I have to go through it again in three days? And with so many guests at Old Master Liu's birthday banquet?]
"You shouldn't come. I can go alone," Gu Chenan hurriedly declined.
How could Su Qianmo give up so easily? Her expression changed to one of sadness as she said firmly, "No, I want to go, I must go!"
Gu Chenan's mouth twitched.
Crap, as long as Su Qianmo says something like this, I can't refuse, otherwise the system will give me an OOC warning again.
"Sigh." Gu Chenan sighed and said, "Fine, fine, go if you want."
"Great, it's settled then. We'll go together to celebrate Old Master Liu's birthday in three days!" Su Qianmo's tone immediately turned cheerful, afraid that Gu Chenan would change his mind. She promptly hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Su Qianmo's mouth curved up slightly.
Got him!
She could feel it. Although Gu Chenan was extremely reluctant in his heart, as long as it was something she requested, he could not refuse!
Because that was Gu Chenan's character setting!
If this was the case, wouldn't she be able to manipulate him however she wished in the future?
Sitting in the car, Gu Chenan sighed despondently.
This villain's loyal dog character is really ridiculous. I can't refuse anything Su Qianmo says, how annoying.
Gu Chenan casually scrolled through Weibo, but the local headline popped up.
<Young Master of the Gu Family Takes Miss Su and Miss Liu to That Kind of Place, Afterwards Young Master Gu Says This - Click to View Details.>
Hm?
Gu Chenan's brows furrowed.
What's this?
He tapped to enter, and as soon as the image loaded he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
The photo showed him and Zhang Fuyang together, while the caption implied that he had gone with Su Qianmo and Liu Mingrui to the VIP suites at Tianhai for swimming, and had said afterwards that he was very satisfied and the like.
However, the caption was laced with hints of ambiguity and vulgarity throughout.
Gu Chenan ground his teeth together furiously.
Damn you, Zhang Fuyang. You said this would give me publicity, but this is how you publicize it?
If Lin Yu sees this caption, won't he come strapped with explosives to blow up my house?
Gu Chenan immediately called Zhang Fuyang.
"Hello, Young Master Gu, your orders?" Zhang Fuyang answered immediately.
"Tsk tsk..." Gu Chenan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to cuss him out, and said angrily: "Where are you now?"
"Ah? I'm... at Tianhai. Are you coming over?" Zhang Fuyang asked, puzzled.
Gu Chenan ignored him and continued: "What floor are you on? Room number?"
"Oh? I... I'm in the office on the third floor, 0308."
"Good, stay there and wait for me." Gu Chenan gritted his teeth viciously.
"Young Master Gu, you're coming over? Should I reserve a suite for you? Are you bringing Miss Liu and Miss Su again today?" Zhang Fuyang asked cluelessly.
He shouldn't have mentioned that - Gu Chenan couldn't hold back anymore. Bringing the phone to his mouth, he yelled furiously: "I'll bring your mother! Just you wait, I'm coming right now to f**king kill you!"
Zhang Fuyang: ?
