Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 116 The Person Who Is Important to Her
"Thank you. Actually, you don't have to give me a birthday present every year. I don't celebrate my birthday." Xu Wen politely declined.

He carefully took the valuable watch and placed it on the back seat.

He definitely wouldn't accept it. According to his past practice, he would usually find an opportunity to return it to Gu Xingruo.

There was only one period of time when he accepted gifts from the eldest lady, and that was during the few months when he was kept by her.

After all, the gifts he received did not need to be returned, so they were considered as compensation for his labor.

Xu Wen now has a small amount of money in his hand, which is enough to repay Gu Xingruo's gift.

But he still had no intention of accepting the watch.

In his opinion, it is enough to give small gifts to each other among friends, and there is no need to give such expensive things.

Just like he felt no burden when accepting Xia Ning's gift.

However, Xu Wen immediately realized that his idea was a bit flawed. Perhaps this watch was just a small gift for the eldest lady.

"I thought it suits you very well, so I bought it for you." Gu Xingruo explained in a low voice.

Although Xu Wen never confiscated her gifts.

But she still kept the gifts carefully, and when they were together one day, she would take out all the gifts.

"Brother, why don't you try it on now and let Sister Ruoruo take a look?" Xu Ling began to think of a solution.

However, Xu Wen evaded this excuse: "She is driving. Let her drive seriously and we will talk about it when we get to the destination."

When Xu Ling was about to say something, Gu Xingruo said, "Well, wait until I get off the car and watch it."

My sister had no choice but to sit obediently in the passenger seat.

Afterwards, Xu Ling tried his best to reduce his presence.

She thought that they hadn't seen each other for a long time and must have a lot to talk about, so she didn't need to interrupt.

As a result, since the topic of birthday gifts just ended, the atmosphere in the car seemed to be paused.

The only sounds in her ears now were the car engines and the occasional honking of other cars outside the window.

No one spoke in the car.

Gu Xingruo was driving seriously, and her brother was sitting in the back, looking ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

If she hadn't ridden in Sister Ruoruo's car before, she would have started to suspect whether Sister Ruoruo didn't like to talk while driving.

Xu Ling realized that she still had to say something first to liven up the atmosphere between the two of them before they could start chatting.

She clearly remembered that Sister Ruoruo was not like this in the past, so what happened today?
"I thought your father would send you to study abroad." Xu Wen suddenly spoke in the quiet atmosphere.

With her brother taking the initiative to start a conversation, Xu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She continued to remain silent, pretending she didn't exist.

"I don't want to go abroad. What I told our head teacher before was just a joke." Gu Xingruo explained.

She thought Xu Wen was thinking about what Xia Ning said at that time, so she took the initiative to explain the situation.

At that time, she was a little annoyed by what Li Na said, and finally she said something desperate like going abroad to study.

"So that's how it is." Xu Wen looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

But in fact, this was not what he wanted to know at all.

After all, it doesn’t matter whether Gu Xingruo wants to study abroad or not. The one who really wants her to study abroad is her father.

He remembered that in his previous life, Gu Hong once told him that he had originally planned to send his daughter abroad in her second year of high school and let her take the exams there directly.

But his daughter said she wanted to play for another year, so he agreed out of concern for her.

It turned out that she never expected that this was the kind of thing she played in the country.

She should have been sent abroad directly!

Later, Xu Wen learned about Gu Xingruo, that she had gone abroad to study under her father's arrangement and had not even taken the college entrance examination.

"I thought your father would really want you to study abroad." Xu Wen mentioned casually: "When you come back from studying abroad, you will inherit the family business."

Gu Xingruo did not immediately continue with this conversation.

She wanted to say, "I can go wherever I want, he can't control me."

This makes her look very cool and she doesn't seem to be controlled by her father at all.

Maybe it would give Xu Wen more confidence to be with her.

But after thinking about it, she told the truth: "My father thinks the same as you do. He wants me to go abroad."

Ever since her last failed confession, she hasn't contacted the online guru for a long time.

But this did not prevent her from always remembering what the master said.

The master said that only the efforts that are known to the other party can be considered as efforts, otherwise it can only be self-satisfaction.

"Then you actually managed to get him to agree to let you stay, that's amazing." Xu Wen exclaimed.

He felt that it was normal for Gu Hong to agree. After all, the eldest lady did not do anything ridiculous this time and had always behaved herself.

Gu Xingruo's hands kept tapping on the steering wheel. She opened and closed her mouth for a long time before she spoke: "Just after the college entrance examination, he told me that I could stay if I wanted to, but I had to agree to one condition."

She was ready to tell Xu Wen all the hard work she had endured in the past few months.

She originally worked hard on her own and was busy until late at night every day, but she didn't think there was anything wrong.

But when she was about to tell Xu Wen about these experiences, she suddenly felt like crying, and her heart was filled with grievances.

She tried so hard, but the person she liked still didn't like her.

"What conditions?" Xu Wen asked curiously.

He also didn't expect that Gu Hong would agree to let his daughter stay in the country.

This time, Gu Xingruo did not pause. After calming down, she replied, "He told me that as long as I can have my own business and make a profit within three months, he will let me stay."

Without waiting for Xu Wen to say anything, she continued, "This condition sounds like it's easy to fulfill, but I found out at the time that I actually didn't know anything, and I haven't succeeded in anything in all these years." She was both answering the question and confiding in him at the same time.

When Gu Xingruo first learned about this condition, she was confused at first, but love soon overcame confusion.

She agreed to the condition without even deciding what to do.

She only started to feel anxious when she got home.

She didn't dare tell anyone about this.

Gu Xingruo has been in Linjiang for so many years, and has learned nothing but one thing: that everyone around her is trying to deceive her.

If she told this to others, the other party might have run away with her money before the entrepreneurial project even made a profit.

Xu Wen would not lie to her, but she was afraid that this matter would put too much pressure on him, causing him to take a step back and causing the already precarious relationship to fall to the bottom.

Under many unfavorable conditions, Gu Xingruo started his own business.

"I was very confused and scared at first, as if every strand of my hair was tense," Gu Xingruo continued.

"But luckily I'm open-minded and don't think too much about it. I just start doing something when I think of it."

The first thing she thought of was Huagong Education, and with the inspiration of the master, she chose to cooperate with Chen Tianbao.

But Gu Hong did not admit that this was her property.

So she set her sights on the bar again.

"The end result is that I followed the method you taught me, and with some luck, I managed to make the bar profitable, so I stayed."

After Gu Xingruo finished speaking, she let out a long sigh.

She had been holding herself back, afraid that her tears would fall, and only relaxed after everything was said.

"I said, it's mainly because of your own ability. Maybe you have a talent for business, but you just haven't discovered it." Xu Wen commented.

He never expected that Gu Xingruo's strange behavior was actually intended to fulfill her father's conditions.

At the beginning, when the eldest daughter was particularly concerned about Hua Gong's education, he thought she wanted to prove herself and was afraid that she would mess around, so he was a little worried.

Later she ran a bar and invited him to join her.

Xu Wen thought that Gu Xingruo was just bored and wanted to have some fun during the holidays, and he didn't expect her to be able to keep the business going.

Now, after hearing these stories, he realized that he had always misunderstood the eldest lady.

She does so many things with only one purpose.

That is wanting to stay.

“It doesn’t matter whether I have talent or not. What’s important is that I don’t have to study abroad and can continue to stay in Linjiang.” Gu Xingruo concluded.

This was her greatest achievement during this holiday.

The caged bird chooses a more comfortable cage for itself.

Although she is still in a cage, she is full of expectations for her future life.

"Besides, what's the good of going abroad?" Gu Xingruo continued.

"When you go to an island country, you have to wash dishes seven times and drink toilet water; when you go to a beautiful country, you have to get up at four in the morning to study; when you go to your and Lingling's great-grandmother's hometown, you can't use your phone on the subway."

The eldest lady listed the shortcomings of these countries and the things she could not accept, and finally said that China was still better.

The place where you were born and raised is more suitable for you.

As a person who came back from more than ten years later, Xu Wen almost laughed out loud when he heard what the eldest lady said.

It seems that the public intellectuals of this era have indeed done great harm to people, and these fabricated illusions have long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

"Things abroad are not as outrageous as you say." Xu Wen began his popular science work.

He told the eldest daughter that things like children in foreign countries are smarter and the sun appears at four o'clock in the sky in the United States are all made up by domestic magazines to fool people.

Gu Xingruo nodded repeatedly and said, "So that's how it is." She said, "We are all human beings, so why is there such a big difference between us?"

The two were chatting happily, but Xu Ling on the side felt a little restless.

We finally have a chance to be alone together. Is this the time to talk about these things?

Her brother is addicted to being a teacher?

You always want to teach others a lesson wherever you go, right?

It seems she still has to take action.

After Xu Wen finished saying that people in foreign countries don't read books on their phones on subways because they have no signal, Xu Ling finally found an opportunity.

"Sister Ruoruo, if that's the case, then studying abroad isn't bad either. Why do you want to stay in the country so much?" She asked knowingly.

why?
It’s all because of Xu Wen.

But their conversation was never on point, forcing her to step forward and correct it.

What does it have to do with them what's going on abroad? It's not important.

Is now the time to talk about this kind of thing?

Her words really interrupted the conversation between the two.

Gu Xingruo loosened his hand that was holding the steering wheel and reached out to gently stroke Xu Ling's head.

She had her hair tied into a small bun, which was fun to touch.

why?

As soon as this question was asked, Gu Xingruo already had the answer in her mind.

She touched Xu Ling's head and said, "Because there is someone here who is very important to me, I can't leave."
