Chapter 136: Impulsive Bad Girl
She quickly asked He Yunzhi, "Sister, what's your favorite color?"
He Yunzhi was momentarily distracted and subconsciously replied, "Purple, I guess?"
He Huanhuan clapped her hands and said, "Purple is great. Which old guy said that purple has a unique charm? It doesn't matter. Anyway, purple has charm!"
Then, with lightning speed, she opened a tube of hair dye and quickly smeared it on the tips of He Yunzhi's hair.
She moved so fast that no one had time to react, and the tips of He Yunzhi's hair were all dyed a gentle shade of purple.
He Jingyao was furious. "What are you doing? Yunzhi is an associate professor. She's supposed to teach at school! How can this be proper?"
He Yunzhi glanced at the dyed tips of her hair on her shoulder, and her eyes softened instantly. "It's fine. It looks nice. My students will like it."
She taught college students, not old scholars. Dyeing the tips of her hair was no big deal, right?
Gu Jingchen looked carefully at her hair and nodded in agreement. "You can dye it a little higher. The color will be more harmonious."
"Little Gu!"
He Jingyao looked at Gu Jingchen with a displeased expression. "Why are you joining in this nonsense?"
His first impression of Gu Jingchen wasn't bad. Gu Jingchen had a handsome appearance, and his attitude when he greeted them at the door was very humble. He didn't seem like a dissolute person.
But how could he encourage Yunzhi to dye her hair? Wasn't that just nonsense!
Gu Jingchen smiled politely. "Dad, it's just dyeing the tips of the hair. It's nothing. Nowadays, young people are very lively. Dyeing hair can help her get closer to her students. It's not a bad thing."
"But it looks so ugly..."
He was about to continue lecturing, but Gu Jingchen didn't give him the chance.
He handed his resume to He Jingyao and his wife. "Mom and Dad, this is my personal resume. I'd like you to take a look."
He Jingyao glanced at the resume and was immediately shocked by his educational background. "You graduated from Stanford?"
Gu Jingchen nodded. "Yes."
He Jingyao asked again, "And you took over your family's company after graduation?"
Gu Jingchen still nodded. "Yes."
He Jingyao looked at him disapprovingly. "You should focus on academia. Mundane things like managing a company should be left to others..."
He Huanhuan couldn't help but interrupt and ask him, "To whom?"
He Jingyao frowned unhappily. "Doesn't Jingchen have a younger brother?"
He Huanhuan laughed. "My second brother only knows how to spend money. Do you want our family to go bankrupt?"
If they let Gu Jinghan manage the company, before she was even found, their whole family would be begging at her door.
One person would need a handful of rice. She'd have to give out five handfuls of rice to send them away.
Somewhere in the hotel, working hard, Gu Jinghan suddenly sneezed three times. "Who's thinking about me so much?"
After sneezing, he looked at the ledger again. "Damn it! Was this the page I was looking at? It doesn't seem right."
The page he was looking at was the reimbursement form for the prepaid uniforms of the hotel submitted by the manager, Cheng Huaiyu.
The form clearly stated that each set of uniforms cost 580 yuan.
His brows furrowed involuntarily, and he immediately called Cheng Huaiyu. "I've seen the hotel uniform reimbursement form."
Cheng Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong?"
Did he notice that he was taking kickbacks?
Gu Jinghan was disgusted. "Can you order some more high - class clothes? Is 580 yuan worth for a set of clothes? We're a high - class hotel. Can we wear clothes that cost less than a thousand yuan?"
Cheng Huaiyu: ... It was he who wasn't greedy enough.
He immediately raised his hand and promised, "Okay, boss. I'll order a batch of expensive ones right away!"
"Hurry up! I'm not short of money, you know?"
"Got it!"
What He Huanhuan said was really not an exaggeration.
If the company was handed over to him, it would go bankrupt in a month or two.
He was too generous.
He Huanhuan's straightforward words left He Jingyao speechless.
Gu Jingchen was already 29 years old and had taken over the company for several years. It was impossible for him to continue his studies.
He could only sigh helplessly. "What a pity. It's really a pity."
No one knew what he was pitying. He Huanhuan then turned to He Yunzhi and said, "Sister, aren't you going to move? Let me help you pack your things."
He Yunzhi nodded. "Okay."
She thought her parents would be angry, but unexpectedly, they didn't say a word to stop her.
The two of them looked at the resume in their hands and became more and more satisfied.
He was young, so he was in good health.
Good health was important for having children.
He Yunzhi was already 31 years old. If she didn't have a child soon, she would be an advanced - age mother.
Moving out was a good thing. It would be better for the young couple to live together to develop their relationship and have children.
He Yunzhi never expected that after just one glance, her parents would accept Gu Jingchen.
All those words about getting along and getting to know each other didn't count after they saw that excellent resume.
They also didn't condemn her for her impulsive elopement.
The outburst she had accumulated for a long time seemed like a joke.
She was a bit dazed as she took He Huanhuan back to the room, packed her things, and then went out with them.
Her parents even stood at the door to see her off, as if there had never been any arguments between them.
It was as if she and Gu Jingchen had been married for a long time, and today they were just visiting her parents' home.
Standing downstairs, she was a bit confused. "How could this happen?"
She thought there would be a big argument, that her parents would refuse to let her move out at all costs and scold her for being indecent, saying that she couldn't live with a man before the wedding...
She had imagined many scenarios, all kinds of quarrels and outbursts, but definitely not the current calmness.
She couldn't help asking again, "How could this happen?"
Gu Jingchen carried the luggage and led her to the car. "Because I promised your parents that I would give you a perfect wedding."
"So they just accepted it?"
Gu Jingchen nodded. "Yes."
Just like that, they accepted and handed their daughter over to him.
He lowered his head and looked at He Yunzhi. "Yunzhi, I know what you want. But being unrestrained doesn't necessarily mean throwing a tantrum at home. Completely breaking free from your parents' control is also a form of being unrestrained."
"You're completely free now, Yunzhi."
She didn't have to live with her parents anymore and didn't have to care about their thoughts.
She could really live unrestrainedly. He could handle her parents.
They were just old - fashioned people. Compared with the overbearing and selfish Old Mr. Gu, they were much easier to deal with.
He Yunzhi was a bit slow to react. "But this wasn't what I originally thought. I thought I'd have a big fight with them, a fight that everyone would know about..."
"It's not necessary."
Gu Jingchen smiled at her. "What you want is to live unrestrainedly, not to show off your unrestraint to others, right?"
He Yunzhi nodded. "Yes."
"Then live a good life. Try to avoid those exhausting quarrels. If you can't avoid them, just leave them to me."
He still had a smiling face, and that smile carried endless strength, as if he could lift her up at any time. "You've got to let me be of some use."
He Yunzhi nodded a bit nervously. "Okay."
The car drove towards the city center. "I've already prepared a house. Let's go and have a look together."
The sense of being married suddenly hit He Yunzhi, and she became even more nervous. "Now?"
Gu Jingchen looked at her, and the smile in his eyes was irresistible. "Yunzhi, we're a married couple. A couple should live together. You know that, right?"
A married couple needs to have a life together, and they also need to have an intimate marital life.
