On the day I was caught, the heir of a wealthy family took me to get the certificate.

When Gu Mingchen returned home, Su Jinchu was still awake. Seeing that he came back so soon, she hurriedly asked, "How was the talk?"

"Manman doesn't even want to start talking to him, so what is there for me to talk to him about?" Gu Mingchen replied.

Su Jinchu was disappointed. As expected, Shen Manzi did not intend to continue with Chu Jingyu.

"What's your expression?"

Seeing the disappointment on her face, Gu Mingchen couldn't help but pinch her cheek gently out of curiosity and asked lovingly.

Su Jinchu said: "Nothing, I just feel it's a pity."

"pity?"

"Yeah, I think Manman and Captain Chu are a good match. It's a pity that they can't be together."

"How are they a match?" Gu Mingchen asked.

Su Jinchu said, "They are a perfect match in every way. Manman is tall and pretty, and Captain Chu is also tall and handsome. When they stand together, they look very compatible. In terms of personality, Manman is dashing, and although I don't know Captain Chu very well, I can tell just by looking at him that he is a decisive person. And judging from his profession, he must not be a coward, so their personalities are also a good match. As for family background..."

"The family backgrounds are not compatible," Gu Mingchen interrupted, "The Chu family is not a match for the Shen family."

"Since ancient times, the upper class married the lower class. Even if the Shen family's family background is a little bit inferior, Captain Chu really likes her. I think his family will not object. It's a different era now, so this shouldn't be a problem."

Gu Mingchen thought that the phrase "equal status" was an unavoidable concept in any era.

The reason why they can be together is because he is strong enough. Even so, the old man was unwilling before, let alone a big family like the Chu family?

He had inquired and found out that the five brothers and sisters of Chu Jingyu's father's generation all married people of equal status.

There were fewer people in Chu Jingyu's generation, and each family had only one son, no girls. But the three who got married all married wives who were well-matched and helpful to their careers.

The only ones who are not married are Chu Jingyu and his third uncle's son. If nothing unexpected happens, the Chu family will arrange for them to marry girls of equal status.

There are so many suitable people in Beijing, and Shen Manzi's identity is definitely not among the options.

At first he was worried that Shen Manzi would fall in love and would be sad and suffer because of this.

Now she feels that it is not suitable and it may not be a bad thing for her to give up on her own initiative.

"Whether we think it's appropriate or not is not important. What's important is that Manman thinks it's not appropriate. So let's not worry about them. Lie down and have a rest. The baby needs to sleep too."

Gu Mingchen held her shoulders and lay down with his arms around her.

He was out of his mind to discuss this matter with her in the middle of the night.

What does it have to do with them whether they are suitable or not?

The next day at noon, the two came to the Chinese restaurant.

Shen Manzi was already waiting in the private room. When she saw the two of them come in together, she smiled and asked, "Mr. Gu, are you free today?"

"It's a rare occasion that you're treating me, so of course I have time." Gu Mingchen replied.

Shen Manzi pouted: "You talk as if I haven't invited you before, but you really benefited from Su Su's help today. If I were to invite you alone, I would definitely not want to do it. I want Su Su to take you along, so I'll order two more dishes!"

"You two, please stop bickering every time you meet." Su Jinchu shook his head helplessly.

Shen Manzi immediately said, "It's good for us to bicker with each other, which means our relationship is just so-so. If we were to be annoying each other as soon as we met, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm not that stingy," Su Jinchu immediately stated.

Shen Manzi pouted: "You are so stubborn. If you really get tired of me, you will be sadder than anyone else. But don't worry, I have a sense of boundaries. I was good to him before, because I didn't have you. Now that I have you, I am good to him, and he should stand aside."

"Ahem, Captain Chu called me yesterday and asked Chen to go out for a talk."

Su Jinchu coughed lightly, leaned close to her and whispered.

Shen Manzi frowned: "Why did he call you?"

"Of course it's for you. I want to ask me about you and please you." Su Jinchu replied.

However, he quickly added: "But after Achen went out to talk to him, it seemed that the conversation was not pleasant. The main reason was that Achen felt that you didn't like him and there was no need to talk to him."

"Really? What did you talk about with him?" Shen Manzi looked at Gu Mingchen.

Gu Mingchen said, "At first he misunderstood our relationship and was quite furious. However, since I met him, this is the first time I've seen him so emotional. Later, I heard him say that you didn't plan to talk to him and wanted to end this relationship. When I heard this, what was there to talk to him about? If you don't want to talk to him, there's no need for me to tell him about your preferences, so I left."

"You really are..."

Shen Manzi gritted her teeth, not knowing what to say.

"Manman, do you really not like Captain Chu anymore?" Su Jinchu asked quickly.

"Yes, I don't like it anymore. It's not suitable." Shen Manzi took a deep breath and answered decisively.

Gu Mingchen said happily: "See, I told you she doesn't like it."

"Are you so happy that I don't like you? Do you wish that I would never get married in my life?" Shen Manzi asked angrily.

Gu Mingchen said quickly, "How is that possible? I was hoping you would get married and have children sooner. With your temper and personality, if you had someone who could take care of you sooner and provide for you in your old age, I wouldn't have to worry about you. You said it wasn't suitable. If you said it was, I could have asked him out right away and continued the conversation with him."

"He likes me. What are you talking to him about? You make it sound as if you two want to have a conversation." Shen Manzi rolled her eyes.

Gu Mingchen smiled and said, "You don't have to vent your anger on me just because you're unhappy. There's one thing I don't understand. Do you think you're not suitable for him? Is it really just because he's too busy at work and doesn't have time to accompany you?"

"Yes, what else?" Shen Manzi asked.

Gu Mingchen said: "From what I know about you, you are busier at work than him. And you have many hobbies. You are not a clingy woman."

"Su Su, he hinted that you are clingy." Shen Manzi immediately turned around and complained to Su Jinchu.

"what?"

Su Jinchu was stunned for a moment. Why did he suddenly talk about her?

"I like our Su Su to stick to me, and I also like to stick to her. Your attempt to sow discord is useless." Gu Mingchen immediately said proudly.

Shen Manzi curled her lips in boredom. It was really boring to meet someone smarter than herself.

"If you don't want to talk, forget it, just order first!"

Gu Mingchen could see that she was hiding something from them, but since she didn't want to tell him, he didn't force her. He gave them the menu and asked them to order first.

Finally, the topic was changed, and Shen Manzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he was stunned and quickly raised his head to glance at Gu Mingchen.

Sure enough, he looked at her meaningfully, with a smile on his face, as if he had seen through everything.

cut.

I rolled my eyes, so what if I knew everything?

No one could ask her what she didn't want to say.
