Chapter: 2944
Su Zhiyu paused for a moment before shaking her head. She didn’t want to tell her mother that her brother had fully sided with their grandpa. This was just her guess, and everyone had their own dreams. It was understandable that her brother might lean towards grandpa’s wishes.
So, she said, “Gu Qiuyi’s concert is coming up in a few days. My brother is busy these days.”
Du Haiqing nodded slightly and replied, “It seems your brother really cares for Gu Qiuyi.”
“Yes,” Su Zhiyu responded. “He has liked her for a long time and is looking for a chance to get closer and confess his feelings.”
Du Haiqing sighed and remarked, “The girl from the Gu family is really impressive, but…”
“What do you mean, but?” Su Zhiyu asked, curious.
Du Haiqing hesitated before saying, “It’s just that the Gu family and the Su family don’t get along well. I doubt Gu Yanzhong would let his daughter marry into our family.”
Su Zhiyu countered, “If my brother loves her and they’re happy, don’t you think Uncle Gu could accept it? After all, love and marriage should be free nowadays.”
Du Haiqing smiled sadly, “The girl from the Gu family probably wouldn’t be interested in your brother.”
Puzzled, Su Zhiyu asked, “Mom, do you think my brother isn’t competitive enough?”
Du Haiqing clarified, “It’s not that your brother lacks competitiveness; it’s just that Charlie Wade is too strong of a competitor.”
“Charlie Wade?!” Su Zhiyu exclaimed. “What does he have to do with this?”
Du Haiqing explained, “Charlie Wade and Gu Qiuyi have a long-standing marriage contract.”
The Gu family had been searching for Charlie Wade for a long time, never giving up hope. Now, they had confirmed that Charlie was alive and doing well. How could they just let this opportunity slip away?
Su Zhiyu suddenly spoke up, “But Charlie is already married! Doesn’t the Gu family know that?”
Du Haiqing looked at her, feeling helpless. “You know Charlie is married, but are you really ready to let him go?”
Su Zhiyu was at a loss for words.
Du Haiqing continued, “You are the daughter of Charlie’s enemy, which naturally creates distance between you two. But even so, you can’t let go. The Gu family and Charlie’s parents are family friends, and Charlie has a marriage contract with their daughter. That makes it even harder for them to move on.”
After a moment of silence, Su Zhiyu exclaimed, “I get it now! I finally understand!”
Du Haiqing was curious. “What did you figure out?”
Su Zhiyu, looking enlightened, said, “I understand why Gu Qiuyi is such a big star! The first concert of her tour this year is scheduled in Jinling, a second-tier city!”
She continued, “My brother and I were puzzled about this. Normally, a big star like her would start her tour in major cities before moving to smaller ones. Plus, she’s from Yanjing, so it would make sense for her to begin at the biggest venue near her home. There’s no reason for her to travel so far just to start in Jinling…”
“The only reason she chose Jinling must be because of Charlie!”
