[Who uploaded this video?]

[This is too fierce. These are Gu Xiao’s parents, right?]

[No wonder Chu An and Gu Xiao are so close. It’s because of the trouble her parents caused.]

The number of comments kept increasing, and some people even uploaded this video to various social media apps such as Weibo.

In this moment, everyone saw the video.

In the video, at the entrance of the office building of Xingsheng Technology, the Chu family’s largest company, a middle-aged couple was causing trouble.

One of them said, “After my daughter got together with your son, she became disobedient!”

…..

The other person shouted for the other party to come out and give an explanation.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were being unreasonable.

However, the two of them kept saying that their daughter had said that they could come here to ask the Chu family for money if they were short of money. In addition, the Chu family also had many business rivals, so the matter quickly fermented.

The students in the school quickly spread the news.

However, because Chu An and Gu Xiao had agreed not to bring their phones to school, they only felt that their cla.s.smates were a little strange, and those students didn’t dare to mention this matter in front of the two of them. Hence, they only discovered this matter when Gu Xiao and Chu An returned home from school and got their hands on their phones.

When they returned home, Chu An originally wanted to tutor Gu Xiao, but unexpectedly, her phone rang.

“Who would be calling you when you just got home?” Gu Xiao leaned over to take a look.

“My dad, I wonder why he’s calling me,” Chu An said as he picked up the call. “h.e.l.lo?”

“Rascal, are you in a relationship?”

“Huh?”

“Don’t play dumb. Is it with that little girl called Gu Xiao?”

Chu An knew that his father definitely wouldn’t ask this for no reason, and he realized that something had happened. “What’s wrong?”

“Do you know that her parents came to our company today to cause trouble?”

As Chu An was on speaker mode, Gu Xiao could hear their conversation. Gu Xiao and Chu An exclaimed in unison, “What!”

“What did they do?” Chu An’s expression was a little ugly.

“It’s quite funny. Those two people came to us and asked for money. They said that they wanted 10,000 yuan each and asked for 20,000 yuan. To be honest, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.” Chu An’s father’s tone was a little helpless. “Actually, this matter won’t hurt our family’s company much, but it will affect the young lady’s reputation very much. You have to be more careful.”

“…” Chu An was speechless. The other party hung up.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect them to be so shameless as to come straight to your door…” Gu Xiao fiddled with her fingers, not daring to look up at Chu An.

“Yes, I’m a little angry.” Chu An’s tone was indifferent, and it really sounded a little angry.

Gu Xiao panicked. Although they weren’t her biological parents, they were still her family in name. If they caused trouble for Chu An because of her…

“How are you going to compensate me?” Seeing that Gu Xiao was silent, Chu An asked.

“j ”

Before Gu Xiao could think of what to say, Chu An suddenly leaned closer.

“Give me a kiss, and this matter will be considered over-” He revealed a wicked smile.

The original apologetic feelings in Gu Xiao’s heart disappeared, but in the face of Chu An’s request, she couldn’t push him away. She could only suppress her thumping heart and quickly peck his face.

But Chu An didn’t move for a long time.

“I’ve already kissed you. Don’t be ungrateful!” Gu Xiao turned her face away in anger.

“Ah, yes.” Chu An seemed to have lost his soul. He touched the spot where he had just been kissed and muttered to himself, “I can’t do this again next time. My reaction is a little intense…”

“Who did you say had an intense reaction?!” Gu Xiao thought that he was complaining that she had only given him a light kiss.

“Well, myself.”

Gu Xiao was stunned.

Wait, was this something that could be said?

After fooling around, they then changed the topic to the matter of Gu Xiao’s parents coming to cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, Chu An started to complain, “It’s actually only 20,000 yuan? Are they looking down on our Chu family’s business?”

Gu Xiao was speechless. Why did boys focus on such a strange angle?

“When I marry you in the future, I can’t just give you 200,000 yuan as a betrothal gift.”

Gu Xiao couldn’t be bothered to listen to him paint a rosy picture. She took out her homework from her bag and started to write. As she wrote, she said, “Chu An, don’t worry about this matter. I’ll make a trip home after some time. I’ll handle it.”

Chu An was clearly unwilling. “I don’t want anything to hurt you. You’re busy studying now. If you’re affected by these things…”

It’s precisely because I’m busy studying that I won’t be affected..
