Nevertheless, I managed to restrain myself from expressing this thought, instead replacing it with a gentler statement.
“Never judge a book by its cover!”
“Oh, silly girl, your mum here… I’ve lived and experienced more than you ever have. I’ve seen so much in the world, believe me, he is definitely a good man.”
“Heh, heh!”
I responded with an indifferent smile, and then turned to make eye contact with Gu Yuanzhou again.
He had taken off his suit jacket, revealing a black shirt underneath, paired with a white plaid vest and long trousers.
Just from his looks alone, he did indeed appear handsome.
Moreover, he was probably around thirty, a man’s prime age.
Successful in his career and sophisticated in demeanor, these characteristics undoubtedly added extra points to his overall charm.
It was no surprise then that Mrs. Song, a middle-aged woman, was smitten with him at first glance.
Suddenly, I recalled something Ding Yinuo once said—he had asked me if I had seen any men more handsome than him during my student days.
Indeed I had, and that was Gu Yuanzhou.
If we were to compare just looks, Gu Yuanzhou and Ding Yinuo each had their distinct appeal.
But if we talk about charisma, Gu Yuanzhou was on another level compared to Ding Yinuo.
His aura was so powerful, easily captivating a woman’s heart.
In the brief moment of my distraction, Gu Yuanzhou had elegantly invited Mr. Song to sit and had poured him some wine.
The two men of different ages were drinking and chatting—it seemed quite harmonious.
“Please look at your boss, he doesn’t act high and mighty at all, he’s so affable!”
Mrs. Song started praising Gu Yuanzhou again.
I just responded with a slight laugh,
“That’s because you haven’t seen him at his worst.”
“Oh, has your boss had a down period before? What was that like?”
Recognizing Mrs. Song’s curiosity, I realized I shouldn’t say too much.
Also, I didn’t want Gu Yuanzhou to spend too much time with Mr. Song, so I quickly brought over some dishes and sat next to Mr. Song,
“Dad, try not to drink too much later!”
“No worries, the champagne that Boss Gu has given me is low in alcohol, it’s like a soft drink, no alcohol!”
“Okay, that’s good!”
I sat down and stayed put.
Mr. Song is an honest man. After a glass of wine, he asked Gu Yuanzhou,
“Our girl isn’t so good at work, please be forgiving, boss!”
Gu Yuanzhou gave me a meaningful glance, “She’s doing not bad!”
“This child has been a little too gentle and fearful since she was small…”
I was well-acquainted with Mr. Song’s way of self-deprecating. Some parents from poor families like to humiliate their children in front of others to show their modesty.
I didn’t really care about it. On the contrary, it was Gu Yuanzhou who said,
“I don’t think she’s that timid, right?”
The last two words were directed at me!
I awkwardly replied, “Um, I am timid in certain aspects!”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at me intently once more.
Gu Yuanzhou was very good at controlling the atmosphere.
Throughout the dinner, he dominated the conversation, leaving me and Mr. and Mrs. Song only to answer, and I didn’t dare to say too much.
I merely spoke up to address minor confusions.
Luckily, I had managed to glean some information from Mrs. Song earlier and I wasn’t looking too suspicious at the moment.
However, overall,
Gu Yuanzhou seemed rather pleased with me. He exaggeratedly complimented my strengths at work, and highlighted my achievements.
He thanked Mr. and Mrs. Song for raising me, an outstanding employee, in the end.
Mr. and Mrs. Song seemed to enjoy his words of praise. They were being led by Gu Yuanzhou, without realizing it.
He made them merry by his high praises.
