Mr Fu, I Really Love You

Chapter 1068 - Concealing His Emotions Way Too Deeply



Chapter 1068: Concealing His Emotions Way Too Deeply

“Old Gu! What are you doing? It’s your turn!” Tang Zheng kicked Gu Qingcheng, who was seated opposite him, under the table.

Gu Qingcheng didn’t even look and directly discarded the tile he was holding. Tang Zheng’s eyes lit up instantly. “Gong[1]!”

Lu Jinnan arranged his tiles and glanced at Gu Qingcheng. “You’re feeding Tang Zheng tiles and letting him ‘gong.’ Are you substituting Tang Zheng as the Wealth Dispensing God?”

Tang Zheng took a tile and said with a smile, “Little Liuli brought a classmate today. Tsk tsk tsk… That guy is over 180 cm tall, so I’m guessing he plays basketball. With his tall and broad figure and sunny image, he looks so compatible when standing with the young lass!”

Lu Jinnan looked in Gu Qingcheng’s direction. Was he feeling upset over this? But he couldn’t read any emotion from Gu Qingcheng’s indifferent face…

Gu Qingcheng calmly unbuttoned his collar and raised his teacup to take a sip. His black eyes were fixed on the mahjong tiles before him as he said, without a trace of emotion, “Indeed, quite compatible…”

Tang Zheng looked up but was unable to detect any emotion from Gu Qingcheng’s calm eyes.

All these years after Gu Qingcheng took over for Fu Huai’an, he was becoming more and more unfathomable, concealing his emotions way too deeply. Even before this group of friends who were close like brothers, he didn’t reveal a trace of his emotions, making one unable to see through him.

Initially, Tang Zheng had thought that Gu Qingcheng might be interested in Yun Liuli the same way too, but hearing Gu Qingcheng’s words… it seemed like he really only regarded Yun Liuli as his adopted daughter!

It would be fine if he really regarded her as his adopted daughter. If Yun Liuli stopped feeling the same way towards Gu Qingcheng and started dating some boy in college, it’d be for the best.

But, since Gu Qingcheng didn’t like Yun Liuli, was he planning to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?

Lu Jinnan could kind of tell that Tang Zheng was trying to test Gu Qingcheng. None of them were outsiders there. Watching as Bai Jinyu discarded a “2 Characters” tile, Lu Jinnan couldn’t resist speaking up. “Xiao Liuli is your adopted daughter, why not let someone check on that classmate of hers? What if he’s a crook?”

Lu Jinnan discarded a “5 Bamboos” tile. Still sitting calmly, Gu Qingcheng didn’t show much of a reaction as he revealed his tiles to show that he had won the round.

Gu Qingcheng took a cigarette from Tang Zheng’s pack and bit it at the corner of his lips. After lighting it up, he exhaled a thin puff of smoke and said indifferently, “The child is free to make friends as she pleases. I have no right to interfere.”

Bai Jinyu held back a smile and said nothing as he recalled what it was like when he and his little girlfriend fell in love back then…

Back then, Bai Jinyu’s little girlfriend had chased after him. After being rejected by Bai Jinyu because of their age difference and the fact that they were teacher and student, the young lass deliberately brought a little gigolo to walk around before him. Back then, he had said the same thing—that she was merely his student, and he had no right to interfere in her freedom to make friends as she pleased!

In the end, Bai Jinyu had to take back what he said. Later, he drove back to the hospital and saw that the fellow had arranged candles in the flower terrace of the hospital and was confessing to the girl. He sat in his car for a while, watching as his little girlfriend reached out to accept that bouquet of flowers. He couldn’t resist calling that girl and telling her to meet him at the entrance of the school one minute later.

Later, Bai Jinyu got together with his little girlfriend.

Then later, Bai Jinyu’s girlfriend confessed to him honestly… that the male classmate was a “brother” to her. She had suddenly heard someone say that Bai Jinyu had called back to the hospital and asked if the documents were in the office, so she had guessed that Bai Jinyu would certainly come back to retrieve those documents.

Hence, her group of friends came up with this plan. Bai Jinyu’s little girlfriend only urged her classmates to help decorate after seeing Bai Jinyu parking his car in the parking lot. She wanted Bai Jinyu to see the scene of her being confessed to after he got out of his car.

Therefore, when Bai Jinyu heard that Yun Liuli had brought a male classmate back on a day like today, he vaguely sensed she was using the same ploy as his little girlfriend. He said nothing and merely smiled quietly.

On the day of Yuan Yuan’s one-month celebration, when Gu Qingcheng would definitely come back, when she was bound to see Gu Qingcheng, Yun Liuli brought back a male classmate. Was this not deliberate or what!

However, Bai Jinyu really had no idea what Gu Qingcheng felt about this, so he couldn’t speak too directly.

Bai Jinyu felt the same way as Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan, feeling that Gu Qingcheng was becoming harder and harder to fathom. Even this group of friends who had grown up with him weren’t sure what he was thinking.

Seeing Lu Jinnan discard the winning tile that Gu Qingcheng needed for victory, Bai Jinyu said, “Since Xiao Liuli brought him here, they’re probably not simply classmates. Perhaps he’s her boyfriend, but the girl is too shy to tell us!”

“I think so too. It’s all our own people here today. Other than Old Fu’s brothers-in-law and sister-in-law, all the rest know Xiao Liuli… She has no need to find someone to simply accompany her!” Tang Zheng deliberately added, “Clearly, she’s introducing him as her boyfriend to us!”

By brothers-in-law, Tang Zheng was referring to Lin Chen and Cen Mo. As for sister-in-law, it naturally referred to Lin Ran.

Tang Zheng, Lu Jinnan, and the rest already knew about Cen Mo and Lin Nuan’s relationship. Because they were rather fond of Lin Nuan, they were quite fond of Cen Mo too.

Lu Jinnan couldn’t resist teasing Gu Qingcheng, “I say, this is the first time Xiao Liuli is bringing her boyfriend home. Shouldn’t you, as her adoptive father, prepare a large red packet as a gesture?”

“Yes… Old Gu, how about you prepare a large red packet?” Bai Jinyu joined in the fun. “At least let that fellow know that our Xiao Liuli has people backing her up! Us as uncles should give him a red packet too! Old Gu, how about we give him all the money you lose to us in this game in a red packet?”

Gu Qingcheng, who had finished arranging his tiles, didn’t answer. He was staring fixedly at the tiles before him, as though he was truly concentrating on them. His cigarette-wielding hand moved forward and back several times, and before he even discarded a single tile, he pushed them forward to reveal them all… He had won the game! Heavenly Hand[2]!

“D*mn!” Tang Zheng paused in surprise. What kind of luck was this? Was this the legendary “unlucky in love, lucky in gambling”?

That was 168 points for the Heavenly Hand. Tang Zheng felt that he was going to lose his points after several rounds.

“What kind of luck is this?” Bai Jinyu looked stunned as well.

Lu Jinnan had always had a wicked tongue, and moreover, since it was his own brother, he simply spoke his mind. “Unlucky in love, lucky in gambling! Tsk tsk… the ancient sayings truly don’t deceive!”

Gu Qingcheng tapped away some cigarette ash. Even after winning with the Heavenly Hand, there still wasn’t much emotion on his face, his gaze still looking as calm as always.

“If he’s truly her boyfriend, I’ll give him the money you guys lost to me in a red packet!” Gu Qingcheng said indifferently.

“Tsk…” Lu Jinnan gasped. “How generous of you, to use our money to reward your future son-in-law!”
