Chapter 694: 694. Attracting trouble with undesirable suitors Chapter 694: 694. Attracting trouble with undesirable suitors “Father, I’m not being unreasonable. Doesn’t your daughter just want to help share your worries?”
Wu Xinxin made up her mind, she must keep Gu Ya, “Father, don’t worry about your daughter in this matter; I have my own ways. Rest assured, I’ll make Big Brother Gu stay.”
Upon seeing his daughter rush out, the shopkeeper Wu recalled how, in the past when employees of the accounting department left, she had never taken it to heart . Now that Gu Ya was leaving…
His daughter was even more concerned than he, the father. Could it be…? As soon as this possibility crossed Shopkeeper Wu’s mind, his face darkened immediately.
Xinxin is his only daughter.
He would never allow such a thing to happen. Shopkeeper Wu was exceptionally concerned about his only daughter, Wu Xinxin. Now that she was of marriageable age, he and his wife had gradually been looking for suitable candidates for a son-in-law.
There were already two or three men in whom Shopkeeper Wu was interested. Those men were all of high character and appearance, no worse than Gu Ya. Over the past few months, having witnessed Gu Ya’s capabilities while working in the inn’s accounts, Shopkeeper Wu had great admiration for him. If Gu Ya weren’t married, and his daughter fancied him…
Shopkeeper Wu could barely accept the idea of Gu Ya becoming his son-in-law. But now that Gu Ya was married, this was something Shopkeeper Wu would never let happen.
Xinxin can’t have feelings for Gu Ya. How could his precious daughter, the pearl of his palm, possibly fall for a married man? For the sake of his daughter, Shopkeeper Wu decided that, starting tomorrow, he would no longer allow Gu Ya to help out at the Fuman Building. As for the accounting, he could temporarily find someone else.
But Gu Ya absolutely could not come to the Hongyun Building to keep the accounts anymore.
Add to this his own daughter, Shopkeeper Wu also decided to promptly choose a suitable man for her, to make her give up on the little crush she had on Gu Ya.
Su Yunjin was waiting for Gu Ya to return home. At this time, Gu Ya would normally have already returned, and Su Yunjin would have dinner ready for him. Today when Gu Ya came home, he saw his little wife sitting there, looking unhappy. Knowing that Wu Xinxin from Hongyun Building had gone to find his little wife, it seemed she was likely upset over Wu Xinxin’s visit.
Approaching his little wife, Gu Ya went to hold her, “Yunjin, did Miss Wu come to trouble you today?” Unlike usual, when Gu Ya held her, she allowed it.
Today, when Gu Ya came to hold her, Su Yunjin wouldn’t let him touch her. The little wife was angry, and Gu Ya knew it wasn’t good to provoke her further when she didn’t want to be touched.
So Gu Ya didn’t try to hold her again, instead sitting down beside his little wife.
“Yunjin, Miss Wu is Shopkeeper Wu’s only daughter, spoiled by her father. Whatever she said, you needn’t take it to heart. It’s not worth getting angry over her.”
Gu Ya consoled his little wife.
Thinking the little wife was upset because of something Wu Xinxin did, unexpectedly, his little wife looked at him and said, “Husband, you truly have a knack for this. First, you entangled with Wan Ruyan, and now, look at you! In less than a month, you’ve attracted the attention of the young mistress of Hongyun Building.” Wu Xinxin had come today with open hostility toward her.
Later, her tone was even more provocative.
If you told Su Yunjin that Wu Xinxin had no interest in her husband, she wouldn’t believe it. Could it be that the little wife was still angry with him?
Gu Ya looked at his little wife, torn between amusement and helplessness.
What did Wan Ruyan and Wu Xinxin have to do with him, Gu Ya? When had he ever caused any trouble with them?
