Chapter 427: Chapter 197: Su Huai, My Hands Are Ice Cold_3

But now, when Gu Tongshu had reined in every bit of malice, Su Huai finally saw glimpses of a top tycoon’s transcendence.

Damn impressive...

To think he could keep his thoughts inscrutable even when I’m cheating, a serious Old Gu is explosively handsome!

Gou Huai felt a surge of fighting spirit, excitement creeping up for no apparent reason, like a pervert.

"Gu, you’re really being too serious. I’m young and do rebel occasionally, but I’m not a bad person at heart."

Su Huai matched sincerity with sincerity, nearly convincing himself.

Then, he took the initiative to reassure Old Gu, "It’s hard for anyone not to like Yueyue, but what I feel for her is more pity, so if I really need a girlfriend, I would choose someone else, not harm a good friend."

Ah, such beautiful words!

Yet, Gu Tongshu, who heard them, felt both joy and confusion.

So what exactly do you mean?

Not touching my precious daughter is good, but you actually want to date someone else?!

What if my daughter can’t handle it?

Gu Tongshu was racked with worry, his heart ached along with his liver.

Of course, he didn’t want Su Huai to date his precious daughter, but he also didn’t want to see Su Huai dating other girls, and he didn’t even want Su Huai to be capable of dating anyone...

But could he control Su Huai?

Not at all!

Alas, what isn’t a problem in a normal family becomes a delicate issue around Gu Jiuyue, her special circumstances doomed her to an abnormal life.

So there were deep and complex reasons for Gu Tongshu becoming what he was.

But that was none of Su Huai’s business. He was having a grand time badgering Gu Tongshu.

Leisurely watching Old Man’s expressions change, switching faces back and forth, and after secretly laughing enough, he finally put forth a "request" from a position of superiority.

"Gu, there’s something I’d like to consult you on, if I may?"

Seriously, you’re too polite!

Do I even have the right to refuse?

Gu Tongshu was well aware of the irony, immediately putting on an air of a magnanimous elder, "Why not? I’ve got plenty of time today, take your time telling me!"

Look at that, clearly asking for a favor, yet holding all the power in his own hands, what’s this if not top-tier hubris?

Gou Huai sat demurely, hands on his knees, and asked, "I’m not sure if you’re familiar with L’Oréal? I’ve got a bit of a business I’d like to partner with them on."

Gu Tongshu felt utterly nauseated inside, the worst part wasn’t Su Huai’s attitude, but... FML, I really am very familiar with L’Oréal and I can help!

Is this kid naturally my nemesis?!

Despite his annoyance, Gu Tongshu didn’t make excuses or lie, but instead calmly explained the situation.

"L’Oréal China is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the L’Oréal Group, with a high degree of autonomy and an independent system, but you’re lucky to have asked me. I’m on good terms with the Betancourt family, and Gu Corporation’s overseas investment company holds a 6.25% stake in the L’Oréal Group, the largest shareholder among international investment institutions, and Yueyue personally has 1.25%..."

"Father-in-law!"

Gou Huai suddenly became emotional, his eyes filled with admiration.

Pfft!

Gu Tongshu almost choked on his own saliva, completely thrown off.

But before he could get angry, Gou Huai promptly cut off the joke and shifted the topic, "Gu, actually, I just need a channel to communicate with the higher-ups at L’Oréal China, there’s no need to bother you with the rest, I’ll handle it personally."

Gu Tongshu was burning with frustration, on the verge of exploding.

But he couldn’t refuse.

Such a reasonable request, you’d better agree quickly, or are you waiting for the Puppy to call you father-in-law again?

"Small matter."

Gu Tongshu fought the urge to retch, explaining the details as clearly as possible—he didn’t want Su Huai to bother him again over this, not at all!

"L’Oréal has just sent a new President for the Asia-Pacific region this year, named Si Bohan, currently in charge in the Magic Capital, making big moves.

He visited me when he took office, I’ll give him a call, and you can schedule a visit. For a normal partnership, he will give me face."

Wow, dad, you’re seriously awesome!

Su’s eyes were strange, hesitating whether to call out affectionately a couple more times.

Old Gu’s pockets are bulging; a casual brag is so many coins, maybe I should bite the bullet again?

But Gu Tongshu couldn’t take it anymore.

As soon as he caught Puppy’s gaze, he knew no good could come of it; it was all too familiar to him—as if looking at his own reflection.

With a whoosh, he stood up and headed toward Gu Jiuyue.

"Yueyue, you chat with Su and the others, I’ll go prepare some fruit for you."

Gu Xiaojiu blinked her crystalline eyes at her father’s somewhat flustered back, her mind a mush: What fruit needs to be personally prepared by you?

Baffled...

Clueless, she turned back to look at Su Huai.

The afternoon sun bathed the young man, obscuring his expression, making her feel as if he were smiling from a distance, emanating warmth.

So, she quickly forgot about her father and reached out to the young man, her fingers making grabbing motions.

"Su Huai, my hands are so cold..."

Her voice was somewhat plaintive, yet seemingly coquettish, pinkening the atmosphere in the living room all at once.
