The Big Shot is Also Crazy About Me Today

Chapter 542 He is Like Me, Not Fond of Women

Gu Zheng is not from T City, but his maternal grandparents live there, so he spent quite a bit of his childhood in T City.

Moreover, his grandfather and Song Yansheng’s grandfather were old acquaintances, so the two of them have known each other since they were very young.

Gu Zheng’s grandfather was a soldier, but he retired by then, with three daughters and no sons.

One of these daughters is Gu Zheng’s mother, and Gu Zheng was close to his maternal grandparents since childhood, which gave him the desire to join the army.

As for his family’s business over in S City, Gu Zheng wasn’t worried about it since he had a younger brother who was very business-savvy.

Nowadays, Gu Family’s father has mostly retired, and the family business is mostly managed by the second son.

Currently, in S City, the Gu Family is considered one of the leading families and major corporations.

As for Gu Zheng, after joining the army, his relations with the family weren’t exactly tense; if there were tension, it probably started after he adopted Ye Mingmei.

Old Sir Gu didn’t object to him adopting an orphan girl, since in such a big family, taking care of one more person wasn’t a big deal.

However, Gu Zheng behaved as if he was raising the girl as his own daughter, and his grandson hadn’t even married yet; how could this be okay?

Gu Zheng’s personality is quite stubborn, and for the sake of Ye Mingmei, he rarely returned home and had now settled directly in T City.

Aqing said he had a childhood sweetheart in S City, which wasn’t entirely false, since Gu Zheng’s younger brother and that girl, along with Gu Zheng’s mother, had recently come to T City to visit him.

Aqing had the fortune to meet them and could see that the girl had feelings for Gu Zheng, but as far as Gu Zheng was concerned, it was heartless like flowing water.

What Aqing said was intentionally meant to provoke Ye Mingmei, as everyone around could clearly see Gu Zheng’s feelings towards her.

Ye Mingmei is still young and naive, while Gu Zheng likely harbors a kind of stubbornness and reservation, watching as Ye Mingmei was about to come of age.

Someone had to break this balance eventually.

Counting on Gu Zheng seemed unlikely, but it wouldn’t hurt for Ye Mingmei to probe first.

Ye Mingmei blinked twice, seemingly a little caught in a dilemma, but she quickly let it go.

She said, "Even if that’s the case, it’s no use; Boss Gu is just like me, uninterested in women, and doesn’t like them at all. Besides, if he does marry that childhood sweetheart, then it’s perfect, no one will stop me from eating meat, and no one will stop me from dating; how great!"

Shi Nuan, standing beside her, blinked and asked, "Mingmei, have you thought about what kind of man you want to date in the future?"

Ye Mingmei looked at Shi Nuan, and not just her, but Song Yansheng also turned his gaze towards her.

In fact, Shi Nuan was just expressing her feelings because she genuinely envied Ye Mingmei.

The seventeen-year-old Ye Mingmei was still able to live such a joyful and simple life, all thanks to Gu Zheng’s protection.

Once she leaves Gu Zheng to interact with other men, she will probably have to experience life’s joys and sorrows all by herself.

That is truly cruel; she had been through it herself, so she knew.

Ye Mingmei made a sound, "Hmm," and said, "I don’t know; at the very least, he can’t be like Boss Gu who controls me and won’t let me eat meat!"

"Then what if your Boss Gu doesn’t restrict you and lets you eat meat?"

Ye Mingmei blinked and fell silent.

But quickly, she shook her head, "Impossible, Boss Gu would never be so nice to me..."

Shi Nuan gave a slight smile, although Ye Mingmei said so, she noticed a flicker of complexity in her eyes.

Ye Mingmei is still young, even if she is to grasp enlightenment, it has to be done slowly; there will always be time in the future.

As for Gu Zheng, she believed that when Ye Mingmei was a bit older, he would know what to do without anyone having to say anything to him...
