Chapter 394: Chapter 183 Born to be In-laws_2

At this point, he burst into a smile full of charm, and his entire demeanor became bright and gentle.

"I’d be quite willing to betray Mr. Gu, let him suffer a small, inconsequential loss. Su, what’s your take? Are you willing to have a heart-to-heart with me?"

How should one describe Zuo Zongcai?

Formidable.

Or to exaggerate a little, badass.

He started by establishing a pressure-inducing image, looking to intimidate if possible, or at least ascertain Su Huai’s level if not.

Observing Su Huai’s characteristics and pressure resistance in the shortest time possible, he immediately shifted his attitude to gain favorability—look, an adult, a high-ranking executive assistant, a cold elite, is showing extraordinary warmth and enthusiasm to you, are you moved?

First, he applied pressure, then pulled you in; first cold, then warm. An old trick, but it works most of the time.

Normally, anyone whose social status doesn’t surpass Zuo Zongcai would be overwhelmed by this approach, resulting in a flattered response.

But Su Huai was the exception to the rule.

He felt it, beneath Zuo Zongcai’s affable and warm exterior lay a sea of undisturbed calm.

This white-haired old man hadn’t shown a single genuine emotion from start to finish. It was all an act.

Alright, alright, it’s a battle of acting skills you want, huh?!

Su Huai smiled shyly, eyes cast down: "Mr. Zuo, my interactions with Gu... might be a bit inherently irksome? Anyway, our communication is quite superficial, and I really don’t understand why..."

"I understand,"

Zuo Zongcai laughed and shook his head with a sigh, "The protective instinct of a middle-aged man towards his daughter, completely irrational. Mr. Gu doesn’t dislike you, he just dislikes any young man who appears beside Yueyue."

This expressed an exceptionally strong sense of empathy; any young man in Su Huai’s position would feel greatly understood.

However, Zuo Zongcai made a big mistake in his response.

Unaware of the real situation, his sympathetic musings were too superficial, and inadvertently revealed his ignorance.

Su Huai quickly probed and found out: Zuo Zongcai was unaware of his heated fight with Gu Tongshu.

It could be that Gu Tongshu had kept it secret, perhaps Zuo Zongcai was too busy with official duties, or maybe they just had the opportunity to meet... Anyway, the reasons didn’t matter, the conclusion did.

He didn’t know, and Gu Tongshu didn’t let him know.

Therefore, he couldn’t address the real problem; Gu Tongshu had no intention of letting him be the solver. The man was just a target in the front, a smokescreen to execute a stalling tactic.

What was Gu up to?

In this moment, Su Huai and Gu Tongshu reached a strange tacit understanding, secretly signaled to each other, and began a new battle of wits from afar.

Zuo Zongcai was impressive, but the gap in his information guaranteed his loss.

Su Huai nodded regretfully: "Indeed, Gugu just wants to date me, I really had no such intentions, but why does Gu always provoke my rebelliousness?"

Zuo Zongcai’s mind lit up suddenly.

So that’s it, huh?

No wonder Mr. Gu is so irritable!

He shook his head, eyes distant as he mused, "What a lovely age to be, so perfect for romance.

Personally, I’m totally in favor of you two trying out a relationship. At the prime of your youth, to love passionately is best. Success is ideal, but even failure won’t regret your youth; it ought to be encouraged.

Otherwise, once you’ve left school and become a cog in society’s vast machinery, bustling and hustling, where will you find that initial passion again?"

This guy’s chicken soup is as good as mine, a true master huh?

Su Huai was moved but not surprised; a high-ranking executive of a trillion-dollar empire was expected to be at this level.

His fighting spirit was aroused, and a melancholic expression appeared on cue.

"If only everyone thought like you... Alas!"

Seeing Su’s expression, Zuo Zongcai became even more enthusiastic in his encouragement: "I know Yue quite well; she’s a stubborn girl who sticks to her decisions. Su, I think you could try accepting her.

To speak pragmatically, Mr. Gu’s personal wealth is an astronomical figure you can’t even imagine. The resources and power he controls can have a tremendous impact on your life. This kind of opportunity doesn’t easily favor anyone. You’re already standing at the doorstep of good fortune.

If we talk purely about feelings, Yue is also an exceptionally nice girl, beautiful, kind, innocent, bright...

She’s a treasure you won’t find a second time. Dating her would surely be a wonderful experience.

Truth be told, even though my marriage is very happy, I can’t help but envy you."

Whoa?

What kind of tactic is this?

Su Huai didn’t grasp it immediately, so his expression turned hesitant.

"But... to be honest with you, I’m quite conflicted too, liking Gugu and disliking Mr. Gu are intertwined... I don’t know if you understand that feeling?"

Su Huai hadn’t actually said much, but Zuo Zongcai had filled in the blanks by himself.

"Of course, I understand,"

He nodded with certainty, then striking while the iron was hot, he started mentoring Su Huai.

"There was a time when I really wanted to give my father-in-law a piece of my mind. It was one of the driving forces behind my hard work.

To deal with a controlling and high-and-mighty father-in-law is too distressing; no matter how well you do, it’s never good enough for him, no matter how much love you show, it’s never sufficient. In his eyes, his daughter could only be marrying down.

Mr. Gu is even worse than my father-in-law; to be honest, I’d really like to see you render him speechless. It would certainly be interesting.

Su, you have the capability."

By this point, any young man under 25 would have been successfully swayed; there are no exceptions.
