Gu Chengxuan thought of the woman who had been staying at his house and frowned, saying, "Naturally, I don't want any entanglement with her. She's not my type!"
Zhao Hongmei became interested and asked, "Then what kind of girl do you like?"
Gu Chengxuan hadn't expected this girl to be so bold as to directly ask him what kind of girl he liked.
What kind of answer was she hoping to get?
Gu Chengxuan couldn't help but feel a bit more intrigued.
"I like girls who have common topics with me, and preferably are simple and unpretentious!"
Gu Chengxuan came from a well-off family and could certainly provide a high quality of life.
However, he didn't want to marry a girl who was too extravagant.
It would be best to have a simple and unpretentious wife with whom he could live in harmony.
As for personality, in Gu Chengxuan's opinion, no one is perfectly compatible from the start; most relationships are the result of mutual adjustment.
As long as the difference in their thinking isn't too great, they can make it work.
Zhao Hongmei couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
"Many people fit those criteria."
"Having no threshold is the highest threshold. My requirements are actually the hardest to find." Su Dan Novel Network
"What you said is just like what Xiao Tian used to say. Xiao Tian also used to say that having no threshold is the highest threshold."
At this point, the two of them were having a pleasant conversation and finding a bit of common ground.
Meanwhile, Cui Tonglan and Su Xiao Tian went downstairs and found seats by the window to chat.
Despite the age gap between them, they had many common topics.
Especially since Su Xiao Tian had helped her solve a major problem this time, Cui Tonglan felt even closer to Su Xiao Tian.
She even felt that Su Xiao Tian was her lucky goddess.
She asked Su Xiao Tian about her internship and her future plans.
"After all, in Cui Tonglan's view, a girl of Su Xiao Tian's age was too young.
Starting work like this, although she had advantages, also had inherent disadvantages, and it was hard to say whether it was good or bad in the short term.
When Su Xiao Tian said that she planned to continue in business in the future, Cui Tonglan was quite surprised.
She had thought that Su Xiao Tian would definitely go into politics.
In recent years, it was rare for university graduates to intern directly at the Translation Department.
These students all wanted to stay at the Translation Department.
However, Xiao Tian didn't have this idea.
"Xiao Tian, although doing business and making money is fast, the hard work and effort involved is not something others can compare to."
The Cui family was a prominent family, with members in both business and politics.
She had originally thought that entering politics was difficult, but after interacting with more people, she realized that doing business was not necessarily easier.
In fact, even making money had risks; a single misstep could lead to ruin.
"Sister Tong Lan, I know, but the factory has already been built, and it will continue to expand in the future. Now, I have no way back."
Cui Tonglan smiled, "Your factory is doing well now, and there are likely many people who are interested. If you're willing to sell, you can get a very good return."
"I worked hard to get it started from scratch, so I really can't bear to part with it. It's fine to work a bit harder!"
After a pause, Su Xiao Tian said, "Even if the business path fails in the future, I can start over. I'm still young!"
Age is capital. Su Xiao Tian went to university four or five years earlier than others and graduated four or five years earlier, naturally giving her a significant advantage.
Cui Tonglan thus knew that Su Xiao Tian had made up her mind.
She didn't try to dissuade her but instead helped brainstorm ideas.
More than half an hour later, just as Su Xiao Tian and Cui Tonglan were deep in conversation, the two people upstairs finally came down.
Seeing their figures, Su Xiao Tian and Cui Tonglan stopped talking and looked at them.
Both of them were smiling, indicating that their conversation had gone very well.
Cui Tonglan glanced at Su Xiao Tian, a smile curving her lips.
"Xiao Tian, it's getting late, I should be going back!" Cui Tonglan's worried heart finally settled.
These past few days, she had been exhausted by her distant cousin who didn't know her place.
Every day, she was afraid that her cousin's actions would affect her relationship with her mother-in-law and her younger brother-in-law.
After all, her mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law had made their feelings clear, they were a hundred percent against her cousin.
But her cousin just didn't seem to understand and persistently wanted to marry into the Cui family.
She could actually understand her cousin's intentions.
The Cui family was a prominent family, and even in a place like the capital, they were considered established.
And because the Cui family lived in such good conditions, her cousin's ambitions grew after staying for a few days.
She felt that by staying with the Cui family, she could live the life of a wealthy wife that everyone envied.
However, she didn't realize that the Cui family didn't support idlers and wouldn't let anyone stay at home just to pass the time.
Even though she hadn't officially started working yet, she often had to go out to help with family matters.
Zhao Hongmei felt a bit embarrassed when she saw Cui Tonglan about to leave as soon as she came down, her pretty face blushing.
Cui Tonglan smiled and greeted Zhao Hongmei, also inviting her to visit her home.
"Sister Tong Lan, I will definitely visit you when I have time," Zhao Hongmei said with a blush.
Cui Tonglan could see that Zhao Hongmei was very satisfied with her younger brother-in-law.
It was good like this. If the two of them could hit it off, her cousin could be sent away definitively with this reason.
"Sister-in-law, go home and tell Mom and Dad that I'm not going back yet!" Gu Chengxuan said to Cui Tonglan with a smile.
Gu Chengxuan deeply respected Cui Tonglan, his elder sister-in-law.
Although his elder sister-in-law came from the northwest, she was an educated woman, gentle and sensible, and had even helped his elder brother in the past.
Therefore, even though he was extremely annoyed by his elder sister-in-law's clueless cousin during this period, Gu Chengxuan did not hold it against Cui Tonglan.
"I know. I won't wait for you for dinner tonight. You young people can have fun and come back later," Cui Tonglan said with a happy smile.
She even hinted with her words that he could ask a girl out for dinner tonight, or even go to the movies.
After saying this, Cui Tonglan intended to leave without a trace to go home and complete her task.
"Sister Tong Lan, please wait a moment. I'll pack some fruit for you!" Su Xiao Tian quickly said to keep her.
Cui Tonglan hurriedly said, "I was just saying casually, Xiao Tian, don't bother yourself with it."
Cherries and strawberries at this time were too precious.
Not to mention not being able to find them, even if they were encountered, there probably wouldn't be many.
Cui Tonglan didn't feel that she could accept Su Xiao Tian's fruit as a matter of course.
"Sister Tong Lan, strawberries and cherries don't keep well. I bought a lot yesterday, and they won't be fresh if I keep them any longer!"
As the two were talking, Liang Xiu arrived, carrying a small basket.
In the basket, there were half strawberries and half cherries.
It was clear that they had been prepared in advance.
"Tong Lan, take these back for your family to try!" Liang Xiu put the basket into Cui Tonglan's hands without further ado.
Cui Tonglan no longer politely refused and thanked Liang Xiu with a smile.
Cui Tonglan, Zhao Hongmei, and Gu Chengxuan left together. Su Xiao Tian saw them off and watched them leave before returning to Yiming Pavilion.
After leaving Yiming Pavilion, Cui Tonglan parted ways with the other two.
The rest was up to the two of them; others couldn't help.
