Chapter 421: Chapter 422: Being Gu Qing’er’s Brother
Chen Qingxue had often wanted to ask Su Changfeng if he was just someone with the same name, or indeed the Su Changfeng that was rumored in Jiang City.
But because Su Changfeng didn’t say much, she had always resisted asking, yet this time, it was the first time Su Changfeng revealed something about his identity in front of Chen Qingxue.
To ordinary people, the Gu Family is a world they can only look up to, and yet Su Changfeng turns out to be friends with Gu Qing’er!
"Speak well of me, otherwise I’m done for." Zhou Chengyin put all his hopes on Chen Qingxue, now only Su Changfeng could change everything.
Chen Qingxue took a deep breath, such a prominent figure like Su Changfeng, quietly existing around her, felt just like meeting the Emperor in casual wear among the commoners, and he had never mentioned it before.
Unlike Zhou Chengyin, who would pull out his keys and show off no matter where he was, even if it was just a Mercedes.
From this perspective, Su Changfeng was much better than Zhou Chengyin, but Dong Shan knew her boyfriend was Zhou Chengyin, not Su Changfeng, so whether Su Changfeng was good or not didn’t matter to her.
"You stand up first, I’ll try and see." Chen Qingxue said.
"Thank you, thank you, Qingxue, is there anything you want? I’ll buy it for you afterward." Zhou Chengyin said gratefully.
"You’re my boyfriend, if I can help, why wouldn’t I help?" Chen Qingxue sighed.
Outside the private room, now the restaurant owner knew what to do. He didn’t go to the kitchen himself, but waited outside the private room for the waiter to bring the dishes, and he delivered them to avoid anyone interrupting Gu Qing’er while dining.
This kind of situation happening once was enough, if it happened again, the restaurant owner feared Gu Qing’er’s anger would affect him.
"What do you want?" As soon as the restaurant owner saw Chen Qingxue, he directly stopped her.
"My friend is in this private room, I want to talk to him." Chen Qingxue said.
"The Gu Family Sister is inside eating right now. If you’re Miss Gu’s friend, you should contact her first." The restaurant owner suggested.
Chen Qingxue smiled bitterly, how could she be friends with Gu Qing’er, such a noble young lady, if it weren’t for Su Changfeng, she probably wouldn’t have any contact with her in her lifetime.
"Su Changfeng is my friend." Chen Qingxue said.
"Then I apologize, without Miss Gu’s permission, no one can enter. If you don’t mind, you can wait outside the restaurant and talk after they finish eating." The restaurant owner firmly insisted.
"Well, alright, I’ll wait for him at the door."
In the private room, once Gu Qing’er’s mood had relaxed a bit, the two started talking about Chengchang House again.
Gu Qing’er gradually realized Su Changfeng’s intentions and said with dissatisfaction, "This time you invited me to dinner, wasn’t it just to get the Gu Family to aid Chengchang House?"
"Yes." Su Changfeng didn’t hide, there was no point in playing mind games with Gu Qing’er, and he wasn’t such a person.
Gu Qing’er gritted her teeth and angrily looked at Su Changfeng, "Can’t you sincerely invite me to a meal? Why must there be another purpose?"
"I indeed sincerely invited you for a meal; these are just casual words. If you want to help them, that’s definitely good, but if you don’t want to, I won’t say anything." Su Changfeng said.
"No help, isn’t the Shen Family currently a first-class family? Go back and get money from your wife!" Gu Qing’er said unpleasantly.
Su Changfeng looked ashamed, saying, "Currently, I’m still being supported by them, so asking for more money seems inappropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate? If you’re willing to be supported by me, I can give you all my money." Gu Qing’er looked straight into Su Changfeng’s eyes, these words were practically her confession and could be considered a different kind of declaration.
"I only see you as my sister." Su Changfeng sighed.
This matter would have to be clarified with Gu Qing’er sooner or later; since the opportunity arose, there was no need to look for another chance, and this had been mentioned once at Xianwu Mountain before, though Gu Qing’er hadn’t given up.
Upon hearing this, tears instantly welled up in Gu Qing’er’s eyes, being so bluntly rejected by Su Changfeng for the second time was undoubtedly a huge blow to the young girl who had never had any romantic experiences before.
The Gu Family’s debutante could have admirers circle Jiang City several times, if she wanted to, she could easily find an exceptionally outstanding man.
But Gu Qing’er liked Su Changfeng, and she confessed to him, yet in the end, she received this result.
Gu Qing’er lowered her head, reluctant to let Su Changfeng see her tears flowing down, her shoulders trembling slightly, being rejected like this after an active confession felt entirely bitter for the Gu Family debutante.
Su Changfeng sighed helplessly, Gu Qing’er was indeed a particularly good girl, and despite being born into the Gu Family, lacking any princess syndrome was truly rare.
But Su Changfeng couldn’t accept these feelings; no woman could replace Tang Qiulu in his heart, nor would he ever do anything to betray Tang Qiulu.
There was prolonged silence in the private room, and the red-eyed Gu Qing’er wiped her tears and said, "Give me some time to adjust, I’ll see you as my brother."
This was a necessary process, so Su Changfeng wouldn’t feel heartache, hesitating would only make Gu Qing’er sink deeper.
"Even as your brother, I can protect you. If anyone bullies you in the future, you tell me and I’ll definitely stand up for you." Su Changfeng promised.
Gu Qing’er adjusted her breath, saying, "I have a question that’s been puzzling me."
"Why would I willingly stay with the Shen Family? Why am I still so fond of Tang Qiulu despite being humiliated?" Su Changfeng said.
"Yes." Gu Qing’er nodded, she had been curious about this for a long time, Su Changfeng was a man, and an exceptional one, why did he willingly endure so much humiliation from the Shen Family?
Considering his abilities, even if he left the Shen Family, he would definitely make a name for himself, and the term ’coward’ would be overturned with just a word.
"What others can see is only me being looked down upon in the Shen Family, being labeled a coward and a loser. However, what none of you see is that because I married into the Shen Family, Tang Qiulu is also looked down upon, bearing a lot of humiliation. For over three years, I’ve endured that humiliation, and she has too." Su Changfeng explained.
