The next afternoon, Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng both went to the Su House.

They couldn’t really dump all the pressure on Gu Yu Cheng about her pregnancy. Thus, Su Rui called Mother Su first to briefly explain after much deliberation.

When Mother Su knew about it, Father Su naturally also learned about it.

Mother Su was fine. After the initial surprise, she quickly accepted the fact that she would be a grandmother this year.

After reminding Su Rui on the phone, she happily and secretly went off to prepare for her grandchild’s things.

The one who could not accept this was Father Su.

So much so that before the two of them even arrived at Su family’s main residence, Old Comrade Su’s unwelcoming attitude towards his son-in-law already began.

The moment he saw Gu Yu Cheng, Su Hong Yuan’s face turned even darker.

Father Su, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at Gu Yu Cheng indifferently and spoke, “You have arrived.”

This time, Comrade Su was really not happy about it and did not even call him “Xiao Gu” anymore.

“Daughter, sit over here,” Father Su greeted Su Rui and asked Su Rui and his wife to have a seat. Sweeping his eyes at Gu Yu Cheng and handing over a cup of tea, “Here, have some tea.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

Gu Yu Cheng took the full cup of tea from Father Su’s hand and placed it to his mouth and took a sip.

It was cold.

Gu Yu Cheng’s hand stopped for a moment. Then, he squinted his eyes, and drank the entire cup of tea without hesitation.

” ’Mountain Mist’ Silver Needle tea[1], Dad, you can try it.” Gu Yu Cheng handed the gift box in his hand to Su Hong Yuan.

Taking a look at the box of tea handed over by Gu Yu Cheng, Su Hong Yuan raised his eyebrows.

‘Mountain Mist’ Silver Needle tea was not easy to obtain.

He heard that less than 10 catties had been produced this year, and he hadn’t been able to get any before.

“Put it away.” Su Hong Yuan said, waving his hand and maintaining an expression of #That’s it, I don’t care#.

“I heard that several families have started to jump at that project in Liuzhou?” Sipping his hot tea, Father Su said in a seemingly casual manner.

That project, not surprisingly, would become Gu Company and Su Hua’s first joint project this year.

Father Su glanced at Gu Yu Cheng again and said, “There won’t be any surprises again, will there?”

Su Hong Yuan’s words were clearly not referring to the topic at hand.

“Dad, don’t worry. There won’t be any surprises.” After a pause, Gu Yu Cheng added, “There won’t be any mishaps after that either.”

“I’m just afraid you’re overconfident.”

…

Taking a look at the two men ‘s back and forth interaction over here, Mother Su immediately rolled her eyes in a very unceremonious manner.

“Just in time, Rui Rui. I bought you two dresses two days ago. Dinner is still a while away, let’s go up and try them on.” Mother Su pulled Su Rui upstairs and left the two people staring at each other with wide eyes.

She had also bought Su Rui a pair of shoes to wear with her dresses, but she couldn’t wear that one for the time being.

……

“Clang, Clang——”

While eating, Father Su put two bottles of wine directly on the table.

“This wine is made by an old friend of mine, Xiao Gu, you have some.”

Looking at Father Su’s stance, the corner of Su Rui’s mouth twitched.

Old Comrade Su, you don’t look like you are letting Gu Yu Cheng just ‘have some’…

Su Rui thought that this was the end of it, but she saw her dad deliberately poured himself a glass of fruit vinegar.

I’m not going to drink it with you.” said Su Rui, “My blood lipids are a little high, so the doctor suggested I drink more fruit vinegar.

As Father Su was speaking, he did not forget to add, “Make yourself at home, don’t be polite.”

“Thank you, dad.”

Looking at his stance, Su Rui couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

“Yu Cheng.” Su Rui’s hand under the table pulled Gu Yu Cheng who was beside her.

“It’s alright.”

Over there, Mother Su even kicked Su Hong Yuan directly under the table.

“What are you drinking?! They still have to go back later.” Mother Su said as she glared at Father Su.

She knew that Lao Su was still frustrated in his heart now, but is this man stupid?

If he got his son-in-law drunk, wouldn’t their daughter be troubled?

“What’s the big deal if we drink? At most, they could stay over at home today.” Father Su replied leisurely.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he heard Gu Yu Cheng say, “I’ll have my assistant come over to drive later.”

Seeing this, Su Rui was really in a bit of a dilemma.

In the end, it was Mother Su who tapped the table and settled the matter.

Mother Su said, “Okay, okay, stop drinking and eat properly!” She glanced at Father Su and then at Su Rui and continued, “We still have to discuss the important matters.”

“Yu Cheng and Rui Rui, since you have both decided to keep this child, we as parents will definitely support it, but this child is not some toy for your entertainment…” Mother Su’s tone became serious.

……

Hearing Mother Su’s words, Gu Yu Cheng assured them, “Mom and Dad, don’t worry. I will take good care of Rui Rui and do everything a father should do in the future.”

Hearing Gu Yu Cheng’s assurance, Liu Yue was quite satisfied, but it was Father Su next to her who coldly snorted in displeasure, “Humph.”

After glaring at Lao Su, Mother Su simply ignored this man as well.

When the issue of the child came up, Mother Su couldn’t help but remind them.

The content was similar to what Mother Gu had said yesterday at the Gu family’s main residence.

After that, the conversation gradually drifted to what the child’s personality might be like in the future, what hobbies he or she might want to take up, and so on.

Old Comrade Su, who had found a book to read, finally couldn’t help himself and pricked up his ears to listen in on their (Mother Su’s, Gu Yu Cheng’s and Su Rui’s) conversation.

[1] I’m not very sure whether it is referring to this tea because I couldn’t exactly find a mountain called 雾山. But from the raws, it is most likely referring to this silver needle tea, that is assuming 雾山(Misty Mountain) is literally translated. This is a link of the ‘Mountain Mist’ Silver Needle Tea.

Translator’s Notes: Happy Chinese New Year! May this new year be filled with happiness, prosperity and precious moments with your loved ones.
