How did I marry into a wealthy family during my second marriage?

"You've already said it, that girl doesn't like your son, she can't steal Shi Yan's girl."

"Are you happy that he failed to poach your people?" Xu Weitang was very important to Gu Kai. What if... what if he...

Gu Mu sighed secretly.

"You have a strong sense of morality. I said this because I was afraid that you would feel bad. If you ask me, my son is worthy of a royal princess."

"I bother!"

"Look at you. I'm telling you my true thoughts, and you're scolding me again." Father Gu said with a smile, "He's willing to leave home, which is beyond our expectations. Even if he and Xu Weitang can't get married, it's still a good memory. You praise Xu Weitang every day, you should believe that she will handle this relationship well and won't let Xiaokai get depressed."

"You sound quite serious about what you said."

Gu Mu was beaming with joy.

……

Xu Weitang noticed Shi Yan's car from the rearview mirror.

He followed her for some time.

Xu Weitang parked the car on the side of the road.

Shi Yan also stopped the car.

A hint of annoyance flashed across Xu Weitang's beautiful eyes.

Is there something wrong with him?

She had intended to be with him before, but he was repulsive and resistant to her.

She decided to give up, and he started to pester her.

Xu Weitang sat in the car and waited for a long time. Shi Yan showed no intention of leaving, so she opened the door and got out, walked to his car, and knocked on the driver's seat window.

Shi Yan rolled down the car window and said, "I'll leave when you reach your destination."

"Lawyer Shi had hoped that Gu Kai and I would soon be able to have a happy marriage."

"I'm sorry, I just said it casually at the time, I didn't mean anything else."

"It turns out it's not because of jealousy."

"I..." It was a bit difficult for Shi Yan to admit that he had already fallen in love with Xu Weitang, a man who had sneered at love since he was old enough to understand. "I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw you with him."

"Shi Yan, no one will always be around you. I, Xu Weitang, always keep my word and will not have any emotional involvement with you in the future."

"Are you angry because of my previous attitude?"

"Your word choice is inaccurate. Through our interactions, I've discovered that you're not my ideal husband."

"You are not, and Gu Kai is even less so."

"Then keep looking for the right one." Life is too long to settle for less.

Xu Weitang's light words opened the floodgates of Shi Yan's memory.

He remembered his irresponsible parents who had spent their entire lives pursuing love.

He smiled bitterly, "Sorry to bother you."

Shi Yan rolled up the car window and drove away.

He knew that she was the same type as his parents and he shouldn't waste his time on her, but whenever he thought of the moments he had spent with her, his mood would uncontrollably brighten.

When he saw her with Gu Kai, he felt a possessive desire in his heart.

Tonight he finally spoke his true feelings to her, and her words extinguished the flame of love that had just ignited in his heart.

After his car disappeared from sight, Xu Weitang got back into the car and drove to the meeting place.

While eating, Shi Yan's words rang in Xu Weitang's ears from time to time.

She put a piece of steak in her mouth and chewed it hard.

Gu Kai noticed that Xu Weitang was in a bad mood, so he ate in silence for a while and told her some interesting things that had happened to him recently.

When Gu Kai walked out, he talked a lot more than before, just like the three or four-year-old child who had language delay and suddenly entered the language explosion period.

When he started working at the publishing house, Xu Weitang advised him to learn more and observe more, not to immerse himself in work, and to observe the people and things around him.

He kept Xu Weitang's instructions in mind and clearly remembered the physical characteristics of the people he came into contact with.

Xu Weitang was a flatterer and would encourage and praise him from time to time.

While the two were talking, Gu Kai's cell phone rang.

He took a look and said, "It's a colleague from the publishing house."

Gu Kai said as he slid down to answer the call.

A clear female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Gu Kai, I heard you're getting a promotion! Congratulations! When you become successful in the future, don't forget me!"

"I changed jobs." No promotion.

"That's a government department! If you do a good job, you'll be promoted and have a position. Others won't be able to get in!"

Gu Kai smiled and said nothing.

"You just left the publishing house and you don't want to talk to me anymore?" The girl pretended to be angry.

"I...we communicated like this before."

Xu Weitang almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this.

"I'm kidding you!" Gu Kai is a good-looking man. As soon as he started working at a publishing house, he was surrounded by several girls.

They would find opportunities to talk to him.

Except for behaving normally when facing Xu Weitong and at work, Gu Kai wanted to shrink into his shell when interacting with other people, revealing a bit of uneasiness that comes from being an inexperienced person.

They found him boring and gradually lost interest in him.

When they learned that he was going to work in a government department, they became interested in him again.

"We are planning to hold a farewell party for you. I will send the time and location to your phone. You must attend on time."

"I……"

Before Gu Kai could express his opinion, the other party hung up the phone.

Gu Kai frowned and looked at his phone.

"You don't want to participate?"

"I don't know them well."

"You will often encounter such things in your life and work in the future."

"so what should I do?"

“Some unnecessary social interactions can be rejected directly.”

Xu Weitang's eyes were full of encouragement.

Gu Kai called the girl.

"We prepared a farewell party for you with good intentions, why didn't you attend? You trampled on everyone's good intentions."

After hearing the girl's accusatory words, Xu Weitang motioned Gu Kai to give her the phone.

Gu Kai handed the phone to Xu Weitang without any hesitation.

"I'm sorry, he just started his new job and has limited energy, so he can't attend the farewell party you prepared for him. To express his apology, he will treat everyone to afternoon tea tomorrow."

"How can this be so embarrassing?" The girl's tone returned to normal.

"We are colleagues, so let me show my appreciation with afternoon tea." Xu Weitang hung up the phone and returned it to Gu Kai. "We deal with different people and different things in different ways. Sometimes we are tough, sometimes we are smooth, and sometimes we can be humble."

Xu Weitang does not have the capital to act recklessly, but having worked in public relations for many years, she has mastered the skills of getting along with people and handling matters.

"Inviting her to afternoon tea tomorrow is a small favor. Is this a tactful way to handle it?"

"I guess so. Refuse to attend the farewell party to make your position clear. In order not to completely offend her, invite her to afternoon tea. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy."

"It's so difficult to get along with others. I will definitely learn it well!"

"You will be working in a government department in the future. It is a huge interpersonal relationship field. If you are unsure about something, communicate with Uncle Gu in time."

"can I call you?"

"Of course! Uncle Gu works in the same environment as you and has a lot of experience. His suggestions are more practical than mine."

"You are wiser than my father."

“……” I wonder what Mr. Gu would think if he heard these words.
