Chapter 94 Love comfirmed
When Gu Decheng heard that Gu Ye and Yu Ze were going to get married and live together, he immediately became furious. He hadn’t been so angry for a long time. Unable to control his temper, he slammed the table with a loud bang.
Mrs. Gu was startled and put down the remote control. She quickly advised, “Calm down first. What I meant was ‘if’, ‘just in case’, ‘it’s possible’. I haven’t actually confirmed it, don’t worry.”
Gu Decheng sat down with anger, “How can you even assume that? This is impossible and not allowed, what nonsense! Two boys getting together, what nonsense!”
Mrs. Gu said softly, “It’s not like there are no precedents like this. There are many in foreign countries, and now people can get marriage certificates. Didn’t we say in China a while ago that we would allow same-sex marriages to get marriage certificates? It’s just that it hasn’t been finalized yet. From this perspective, same-sex marriage will be accepted by everyone in the future.”
Hearing that, Gu Decheng said angrily, “That’s someone else’s family! Our family doesn’t allow it! Do I not want my face (reputation) anymore?”
The reasoning made Mrs. Gu a little unhappy and she asked, “What’s wrong with that? Did the child embarrass you? When the child is good, you recognize this son as your son. So when the child is not good, you want to disown him?”
Gu Decheng felt wronged and argued, “I didn’t mean that!”
“That’s what you meant just now. You still think it’s embarrassing for you, ha! As a father, you are unreasonable. You are busy with work every day. You don’t care about your child’s affairs since he was young and just want to use your strict father’s attitude to scare the child. Now the child has his own ideas (ways of thinking), you don’t care what the child thinks and just believe in your own principles. You are so stubborn and old-fashioned!”
Mrs. Gu got angry and didn’t mince words because the conversation made her feel a little aggrieved. At first, she was not in the right1, but after all the talk, she became the right party.
The scolding caused Gu Decheng to be speechless and he could only sputter a word, “You…”
“Me, what about me?!”
Now that Mrs. Gu can make money, she is more confident. In the past, her husband was her everything, but now she dares to speak up when she is not satisfied. However, when she loses her temper or talks back, it is in a coquettish tone. It’s not like a quarrel, but a bit of a spoiled childishness.
They are a couple of older husband and a younger wife. Their age gap is quite huge so Gu Decheng is used to giving in to his wife. After hearing what his wife said, his anger was suppressed a lot. He just replied unhappily, “I’m not disowning him. I am his biological father. Am I crazy to want my face (reputation) instead of my son? Indeed I really didn’t care too much about him before, but aren’t now I’m starting to do that?”
Mrs. Gu snorted, “Then you should ask the child’s opinion before making a decision on his behalf.”
Gu Decheng said helplessly, “I can’t even see his face every day, how can I ask about him? My legs and feet can’t keep up with him.”
Glancing at Gu Decheng’s mobile phone on the table, Mrs. Gu asked, “Is the mobile phone just for decoration? You haven’t sent messages to the child at all.”
Gu Decheng was speechless. He couldn’t refute what his wife said.
Mrs. Gu saw that Gu Decheng’s temper had been suppressed, so she softened her expression. She picked up her phone and searched for some photos from other countries for him, “See? They are a couple, these two boys are together. These two are also a couple. They are all open-minded, and their families are also rich plus they have their own businesses. They adopted a child, and they are living well.”
Gu Decheng was dumbfounded, “Isn’t that crazy?”
Mrs. Gu said patiently, “You can’t say that. Some children are born to like boys. Do they want to do this, given the choice? Do their parents want to do this? Isn’t this just nature, there is nothing you can do about it.”
Gu Decheng thought about it with a cold face, and his anger flared up again, “That won’t work either. If he really wants to do this, I’ll break his legs!”
Mrs. Gu told Gu Decheng helplessly, “What if even after you break his legs, they still want to be together? Old Third has a bad temper. Alas! There is nothing wrong with him finding someone like Yu Ze. Two boys are better than two girls together. As for girls, you are still worried that she will not have a man to lean on when she needs a shoulder to lean on. But Yu Ze is reliable.”
Gu Decheng still had a cold face, and his eyes became darker and darker, “No, how many cold stares will he get in the future? This is a lifetime, they can’t get married officially and there will be no marriage certificate. Without a child, they don’t even have someone to depend on in the future. If the relationship between the two of them is not good one day and they break up, who will be responsible? What to do when they are old?2 Have they thought about this problem?”
What made Gu Decheng angrier was, “Our Old Third is young and can’t think so far ahead but doesn’t Yu Ze understand? And here I wondered, running hundreds of miles to see Gu Ye during the Chinese New Year, how can the relationship between friends be so close? No, I don’t agree with them being together.”
“It’s because Yu Ze understands how this future holds that he is so serious,” Mrs. Gu saw that she couldn’t persuade Gu Decheng, and said slowly, “Don’t be angry first, I just want you to be mentally prepared. I see that they are close but I haven’t confirmed whether they are together.”
“Mental preparation? Don’t I know your personality?” Gu Decheng picked up the phone angrily, “If it’s something unreliable, you won’t say that. They are together, am I right?” Gu Decheng found Gu Ye’s phone number and called it with a cold face. After ringing for more than 10 seconds, the other party hung up.
Gu Decheng was furious, “He dared to hang up on me! This rascal!”
…
After Yu Ze hung up the phone, he turned it off and threw it on the bedside table. Gu Ye asked in a puzzled voice, “Who?”
Yu Ze said indifferently, “I didn’t see who, don’t care.”
“Hiss!” Gu Ye took a breath in the dark, “Be gentle.”
Yu Ze said forbearingly, “I haven’t used any force yet.”
Gu Ye felt wronged and said, “I am made of paper, I’m fragile.”
In the dark, Yu Ze chuckled, “You still have the strength to joke, you don’t need to sleep tonight.”
The two of them completely ignored the outside world and took advantage of the drunkenness and the strong feelings to go with the flow.
…
Gu Decheng rarely called his son, but the other party dared to hang up on him. After calming down, he called again just to find out that the other party turned off the phone! Papa Gu was so angry that his face turned red and he threw his phone away.
Mrs. Gu advised, “Maybe it’s out of battery. I’ll call him later. Go to bed first.”
After finally coaxing Gu Decheng away, Mrs. Gu first took away all the things in the house that could be used to hit people, especially his golf clubs. She had them thrown into the warehouse and locked up. Only then did she have time to call Gu Ye, but his phone was still turned off. Mrs. Gu hesitated for a moment and called Yu Ze worriedly, but Yu Ze’s phone was also turned off. Mrs. Gu was a little worried. Neither of them answered the phone. Did they go out to play? Watch a movie?
Worried that something was wrong with Gu Ye, Mrs. Gu decided to call Gu Ye as soon as she opened her eyes the next morning.
Gu Ye’s phone was set to automatically turn on and off at a scheduled time. No matter when it was turned off, it would automatically turn on at 6.00 am the next morning. This was a habit left over from his school days. When he heard the phone ringtone shouting ‘Son, answer the phone’, Gu Ye was still too sleepy to open his eyes. With his eyes still closed, his hand searched for the phone and answered it in a daze.
Mrs. Gu asked worriedly, “Son, where are you?”
“At Yu Ze’s house.” Gu Ye spoke in a hoarse voice with a strong nasal tone. Mrs. Gu asked anxiously, “Do you have a cold?”
Yu Ze sat up and touched Gu Ye’s head. When he found that he didn’t have a fever, his expression eased.
Gu Ye said weakly, “Mom, I’m sleepy. I’ll go home in the afternoon.”
Yu Ze took the phone and said politely, “Auntie, he’s not feeling well. I’ll take him back when he gets better.”
“Well, thank you.” Finding out that Yu Ze was actually next to Gu Ye, Mrs. Gu’s face darkened. She was too embarrassed to ask again. After thanking him, she told Gu Ye a few more things before hanging up the phone.
Gu Ye heard no sound from the phone so he turned over and continued to sleep.
Yu Ze stared at Gu Ye with a smile for a while before lowering his head and kissing Gu Ye on the forehead. Seeing the light kiss marks on his shoulder, Yu Ze held him in his arms with satisfaction.
After that, Yu Ze picked up the phone and sent a message to his secretary: [I have private matters to deal with these two days, so I don’t have time to go to the company. Call me if there is anything important, don’t look for me if there is nothing important.]
When eating breakfast, Gu Decheng learned that Gu Ye had not come back all night. He was sulking when his phone rang. Papa Gu picked it up and saw that his face turned cold, “President Yu called so early, is there something you want from me?”
Mrs. Gu carefully observed her husband’s face. Gu Decheng had always admired Yu Ze very much. This was the first time she saw her husband speak so impolitely, and it seemed that he was really angry.
Yu Ze didn’t seem to hear Gu Decheng’s dissatisfaction, and spoke politely and calmly, “I want to ask Uncle Gu, are you free tomorrow night?”
Gu Decheng suppressed his anger and asked, “Do you want to talk business with me?” He hadn’t gone to find Yu Ze yet, and the other party took the initiative to come to the door. Gu Decheng frowned and became even more dissatisfied with Yu Ze. At this moment, he heard the other side reply with a smiling tone, “It’s not about business, my father wants to invite you for a drink.”
Gu Decheng’s expression stilled, “Old Master Yu suddenly invited me to dinner, what’s the matter?”
“He wants to recognize Gu Ye as his son, and wants to ask if you are willing.”
Gu Decheng pondered for a moment, “Let’s talk about it when we meet.”
Mrs. Gu was speechless. He was so angry just now, but when he heard about Old Master Yu, his anger was immediately suppressed, and he agreed to have dinner with him. Her husband’s weakness has been grasped by Yu Ze.
Papa Gu still had a cold face, “Gu Ye is at your place, right? Let Gu Ye answer the phone.”
Yu Ze apologized, “Gu Ye fell asleep, he didn’t sleep well last night.”
“Give me the address, I’ll ask his brother to pick him up.”
“Uncle Gu, he just fell asleep.”
Hearing that, Gu Decheng softened his heart and said, “Then let Gu Ye come back tonight.”
However, Yu Ze’s gentle tone did not give in, “Let him have a good rest here, I’ll let him go back with you tomorrow.”
Gu Decheng hung up the phone angrily, “Gu Ye is my own son but I still have to ask for him!”
Mrs. Gu curled her lips, wanting to say something sensitive but didn’t – You didn’t manage to ask for him anyway.
While Gu Decheng was not paying attention, Mrs. Gu sent a message to Gu Sen and Gu Lin: [You both come home tomorrow night, Old Third is in trouble.]
Gu Sen:[?]
Gu Lin: [In trouble again?]
Mrs. Gu: [He got together with Yu Ze and your father knows.]
Gu Lin: [Wouldn’t he be beaten to death?]
Mrs. Gu: [Your father is very angry. Yu Ze just called and said that Old Master Yu will invite your father to dinner tomorrow night. I guess there is something going on.]
Gu Lin: [Yu Ze is going to show his hand. Old Third didn’t come back last night, right?]
Mrs. Gu: [Yes.]
Gu Lin: [Got it. I’ll go back.]
Gu Sen: [I’ll go back too. Please tell Old Third not to go home before we go back.]
…
After waking up, Gu Ye found out about Yu Ze’s arrangement and asked worriedly, “Will my father go? Since I hung up on him last night, I want to burn some incense for myself first.”
Yu Ze sat by the bed and said softly, “He’ll go, my old man still has some appeal in the eyes of his generation.”
Gu Ye smiled and touched his eyelids that were jumping around last night. He hopes so.
After eating something, Gu Ye called Xie Cheng first. Hearing that Gu Ye’s throat was not good, Xie Cheng thought he was sick and did not let him come over. “I’m fine, you don’t have to come. My brothers will take turns sending delicious food. I will be discharged after eating.”
Gu Ye felt bad. Xie Cheng was injured because of him. He took turns with Jiang Xu to visit but didn’t go yesterday. He felt bad if he didn’t go today.
Xie Cheng said carelessly, “It’s really nothing. If something happens to me, you won’t ignore me. We are brothers for life. We still have a long time to live. How big of a deal? Is it worth worrying about it?”
Gu Ye laughed. In his opinion, it was really worth worrying about.
In order to prove that he was fine, Xie Cheng sent a video to Gu Ye. The table in the ward was full of food. Two young men were sitting by the bed. One of them was the buddy who was cheated by Wang Jiao. He waved to Gu Ye when he saw the camera.
Xie Cheng told Gu Ye, “Don’t worry, I have someone to take care of me, you should take good care of yourself.”
Gu Ye was relieved and glared at Yu Ze with dissatisfaction, “You are so neglectful. No wonder there is an old saying that beauty can cause the downfall of a country!”
Yu Ze who turned down all the business arrangements for the past 2 days, looked at Gu Ye with a smile, “Yes, the country is ruined by a beauty, but willingly so.”
…
The next night, Gu Decheng went to the appointment with a cold face. Mrs. Gu was afraid that he would be too agitated, so she went with him. When they came to the private room in the restaurant, Gu Decheng noticed that Gu Ye and Yu Ze had not arrived yet. Old Master Yu was alone, guarding a table of dishes and a jar of wine, waiting.
Seeing Old Master Yu, Gu Decheng’s expression, which had been cold for two days, finally eased a little. Old Yu’s attainments in calligraphy and painting are national treasures, and Gu Decheng likes calligraphy and painting. Seeing his idol, he can suppress his temper no matter how big it is.
Old Master Yu said politely, “I have wanted to have a meal with you and chat for a long time, and finally I have the opportunity.”
