Su Xiaotian was also startled when she heard Hu Xiaolian's hasty plan to open for business.
Didn't she need to choose a good day or something?
People these past two years paid a lot of attention to choosing auspicious dates.
"Sister Hu, there's no need to be so anxious. Half the day is already over. Can you manage to rush it?"
Su Xiaotian wanted to persuade Hu Xiaolian.
However, Hu Xiaolian shook her head resolutely, "There's enough time. I'll go home later and bring everything over with a flatbed cart."
Su Xiaotian felt it might be difficult.
Hu Xiaolian was not familiar with the roads here. It was hard to imagine a woman with two children pushing a flatbed cart.
Forget it, might as well see it through.
Soon, Su Xiaotian helped Hu Xiaolian arrange a vehicle.
With the help of the car for transportation, Su Xiaotian was no longer worried about other things.
She didn't go with Hu Xiaolian to help but went straight home after repeatedly giving instructions.
When Su Xiaotian returned home, she was surprised to find Cui Tonglan at their house.
"Sister Tonglan, why do you have time to visit today?"
Su Xiaotian smiled and went to greet her. She hadn't seen Cui Tonglan for some days, and it was indeed a pleasant surprise to see her again.
Although there was a significant age gap between Su Xiaotian and Cui Tonglan, Su Xiaotian really liked Cui Tonglan's personality.
After interacting for so long, their relationship had grown closer, almost like sisters. Su Dan Novel Network.
Cui Tonglan also liked Su Xiaotian, and her face lit up with a smile when she saw her.
"I happened to have something to do around here today, so I came to see you when I had time. I didn't expect you to be out."
Cui Tonglan's visit today was on a whim. She wasn't disappointed that Su Xiaotian wasn't home, and she handed the gift to Grandma Su.
She felt it would be impolite to go home directly, so she chatted with Grandma Su at the Su family's house for a while.
Just as she was about to take her leave, she saw Su Xiaotian.
"Sister Tonglan, I was just saying I'd visit you in a while, and you've already come," Su Xiaotian said, remembering Zhao Hongmei and Gu Chengxuan.
Cui Tonglan's mood wasn't particularly good today. While visiting Su Xiaotian was partly due to convenience, it was also a way to unwind.
Hearing Su Xiaotian say that, she guessed there was a reason.
"Do you have some good news to tell me?"
This was originally a casual remark, but who knew that Su Xiaotian would nod seriously!
"Xiaotian, do you have something to tell me?"
"Sister Tonglan, I have a classmate whom I think would be a good match for Brother Gu. I was thinking of setting them up."
After hearing Su Xiaotian's words, the expression on Cui Tonglan's face gradually changed.
Her previously smiling face quickly lost its smile.
Even though Su Xiaotian wasn't deliberately observing her, she could sense that something was off with Cui Tonglan.
Didn't she say earlier that Gu Chengxuan was not young anymore, and his family was eager to introduce him to someone?
Logically, if she proposed her classmate, she shouldn't have such an expression at least.
Students from Beijing University, not to mention their family background, but the girls themselves were considered excellent.
As expected, Su Xiaotian soon heard Cui Tonglan let out a long sigh.
"Sister Tonglan, is there a problem? Has Brother Cui already found someone he likes?"
If Gu Chengxuan already had someone he liked, it would only prove that they were not fated to be together.
Cui Tonglan shook her head.
"Chengxuan doesn't have anyone he likes, it's just, alas!"
Cui Tonglan was quite lively by nature, and it was rare for her to sigh and appear downcast like this.
"Sister Tonglan, is it convenient to tell me what happened?"
She had just seen Gu Chengxuan yesterday, and he seemed fine, not like he was sick. What could be the reason for Sister Tonglan to sigh so much and be in low spirits?
"My cousin from my mother's side has come to Beijing. My family sent me a message, hoping my cousin could be with Chengxuan."
"I've been in the Gu family for so long, how could I not know Chengxuan's personality? Although my cousin is good-looking, she is definitely not Chengxuan's type."
To put it simply, Cui Tonglan hoped her cousin would return to their hometown, find a suitable young man to marry, and live a peaceful life.
However, before coming to Beijing, her cousin was not very willing. After seeing Gu Chengxuan, she fell in love at first sight and was now staying at Cui Tonglan's house.
Because her cousin was staying at their home, Gu Chengxuan had been unwilling to return home these past few days.
Even if he occasionally returned, it was late at night.
What was worse, her cousin wouldn't listen and didn't think it was because he didn't like her. Instead, she blamed Cui Tonglan for not helping to set them up, even saying that if Cui Tonglan helped her, perhaps they could "cook the rice first."
She didn't know how a young girl could say such brazen words.
Cook the rice first?
Was she throwing herself at him?
Such an approach, not to mention whether she could successfully marry into the family, even if she did, she would surely be looked down upon!
"It's truly ridiculous. She even said that doing so was considering my interests, saying that I married far away and would be at a disadvantage without my family's support."
"I, on the other hand, think that with her staying in Beijing, I will become increasingly unwelcome."
Cui Tonglan became angrier as she spoke, and her tone completely soured.
The Gu family was quite a good family. Although they had some reservations about her inability to have children before, they hadn't done anything to cause substantial harm.
On the contrary, during this period, with her cousin in Beijing, she was caught in a difficult position.
