Hearing my words, Gu Yue's expression softened a little. Although Curator Du had been emphasizing that I was trying my best to find the treasures needed to treat Leng Yue, she was worried that I was surrounded by beautiful women and had unknowingly forgotten about it.
Gu Yue only dared to bring it up when I was in a good mood. After all, as my status continued to rise, she had to re-evaluate me. She was no longer like before when she would whip me whenever she didn't agree with me.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you. You should also feel that Leng Yue actually has a good impression of you. If you cure her, I hope you can give her and yourself a chance. As the saying goes, it takes a veil for a woman to chase a man. As long as you take that small step forward, it will be done!" Gu Yue was like a matchmaker at this moment. It was a little funny to look at.
"Master's wife, her temper doesn't seem to be very good. What if she quarrels with me and we end up in a cold war like you did in the past? If that happens, wouldn't I be crying?" I said worriedly. My words were intentionally or unintentionally teasing her.
Gu Yue shook her head and said seriously, "Don't worry, if she is really that stubborn, I will definitely persuade her. As someone who has been through it, I want to advise you guys that quarreling and cold war won't work. It will only increase the distance between each other. Now that I think about it, I'm quite regretful that I missed the best time with her."
Hearing this, Curator Du unconsciously showed a proud expression. I was also a little surprised. It seemed that Curator Du was very skilled. In such a short period of time, he was able to coax Gu Yue into submission. This was a classic example of someone who was calm on the outside but flirtatious on the inside!
Then, Curator Du proposed to treat us to a meal. After all, he was the host. It wasn't easy for my family to be here.
Curator Du didn't stay in some luxurious hotel but a local specialty restaurant. He asked my parents to order, but they were too embarrassed to do so, so he asked Liu Jie and the others to help him choose a dish for my parents. The dishes in this restaurant were very auspicious too. They said things like 'rich and noble', 'auspicious dragon and phoenix', 'reunion', 'full of children and grandchildren', and there were even annotations at the back, so people would know what they were eating.
The clever and obedient Little Cherry also specially ordered a healthy longevity dish made from various anti-cancer vegetables for Shang Guan Guoqiang. She also ordered a Blooming Fish dish for Director Du and the others. The fish was wrapped in lotus leaves. It not only had the fragrance of lotus leaves, but it also had an indescribable pleasure. It was truly delicious and refreshing.
Without a doubt, everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Because I wasn't good at socializing, Curator Du and Grandpa Shangguan took the initiative to toast me. On one hand, it was to celebrate my triumphant return, and on the other hand, it was to toast to the family reunion.
Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, I was happy from the bottom of my heart and felt a sense of relief. In the past, I didn't dare to have a showdown with my parents because I was afraid that they wouldn't be able to accept the speed of my progress. I was also worried that they wouldn't be able to get along well with my sister-in-law and the others in the future. Reality proved that as long as I achieved brilliant results, they would try their best to tolerate me and make concessions.
This was the result of my hard work. Although it was hard and tiring along the way, everything was worth it when I thought about it.
"Xiao Zhuang, this time, your triumphant return was expected by everyone. Although there were some interludes, the current results are good. In the future, the world is destined to belong to young people like you. Although you helped me get back my previous position, this old man is getting old, and there are many things that I can't do. When I asked you to carry the flag, you said that you weren't capable enough. This old man understood and didn't force you. Now, you are qualified to take this position, so you won't reject it again, right?" Grandpa Shangguan suddenly opened his mouth.
"Ah …" I was a little surprised. I didn't expect Shangguan Guoqiang to suddenly say this.
My parents looked at me with a strange gaze. The surprises came one after another, and it became a shock … Even if they had good mental fortitude, when they heard Shangguan Guoqiang asked me to carry the flag, they were still stunned.
Without a doubt, Shangguan Guoqiang was the commander who was deeply loved and respected by the people of Nan Yun. My father worshipped him a lot. Although he was now part of the Qin family, he was still a little reserved. His stubborn temper was only directed at me.
Shangguan Guoqiang was indeed old, but he wasn't stupid. He wouldn't casually acknowledge someone, especially when it was such a significant matter. Instantly, they felt a burst of pride and pride.
"Commander Shangguan, actually, I think this brat is still young. We can understand your feelings, but you shouldn't rush things," my father couldn't help but say.
"Yes, yes. Now that he has such achievements, we are already very happy," my mother quickly said with a smile.
In their eyes, martial arts and politics were two completely different things. The current me had reached a certain height. If someone caught my weak point, it would be very easy for me to fall to the bottom of the valley. That wasn't something a little child could bear. Considering this, they didn't want me to make a decision blindly.
Shangguan Guoqiang was also an old man, so he naturally thought about their concerns. However, this was the truth. As a person in a high position, he must have a normal heart. Moreover, Shangguan Guoqiang also thought that I had this condition.
"Grandpa Shangguan, don't worry. They say that a cooked duck can't fly away. I still have some things to deal with, so I can't promise you now. However, I will definitely help you solve your problems in the future!" I said seriously.
Actually, I understood that Shangguan Guoqiang wanted to keep me in his circle and increase Little Cherry's weight. However, the current me didn't care about the commander-in-chief position. After all, I wasn't even nineteen years old. If I really took the position, it would cause a global sensation.
Seeing that I was so stubborn, Shangguan Guoqiang didn't say anything else. After eating, we went shopping together. Since my cellphone was damaged, I just happened to pass by a cellphone store. I randomly bought one and applied for a new card on the spot.
