At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Yu, which university are you from?"

"The same as Xinyue, we're both from Haidong University!"

"Yu, do you have a job now?"

"Yes! I started a small company!"

"Oh! Started a company before graduation, huh? Pretty impressive!"

"Is everything okay with Yue'er? You better not bully her! She is the Lin Family's treasure!"

"Of course not! Xinyue is also my treasure!"

"Hahaha, that's good!"

Gu Yu sat on the edge of the sofa, sweating profusely as he underwent the soul-searching interrogation of Lin Xinyue's numerous aunts and uncles.

It was practically like a census!

"Eh? By the way, where's your family from? Are you in Modu? What do they do?"

Just as Gu Yu thought all the questions had been more or less asked, Lin Xinyue's uncle suddenly threw a curveball.

His place of residence!

How could Gu Yu not know that this was a probe into his family background?

Luckily, he had his story prepared.

"My family is in Gusu, we don't do business, we serve the people!"

"But Uncle, rest assured! I definitely plan to develop in the long term in Modu!"

Gu Yu responded smoothly.

Hearing about Gu Yu's family, Lin Xinyue's uncle lit up, nodded in approval, "Good! Serving the people is excellent!"

But then his tone shifted, and he asked seriously, "The pressure to develop in Modu is enormous! Are you confident you can give Yueyue happiness?"

Hearing this, Gu Yu was momentarily stunned.

Well, that was questioning whether he could make it in Modu, wasn't it?

The implication was whether he was capable of settling down there? Could he afford to buy a house in Modu?

"Ah... the pressure isn't too bad, and currently my company is doing quite well."

Gu Yu opened his mouth and still answered Lin Xinyue's uncle's question.

"That's good then. Yueyue is the Lin Family's treasure, and none of us want her to suffer... how much can you make in a month? Twenty or thirty thousand?"

"My son is now working in a big company, already earning twenty thousand a month, and even then the pressure is so high!" Lin Xinyue's aunt continued after her husband.

Lin Xinyue, who was beside Gu Yu, finally couldn't stand it anymore and quickly cut off her aunt's words.

"Aunt! Your concerns are unnecessary. Gu Yu has never let me suffer! Besides, a relationship is about striving together, how can I just enjoy the fruits without any effort?"

Lin Xinyue clasped Gu Yu's arm, speaking with conviction.

She thought her aunt was overly meddling.

While it was out of concern for her, asking Gu Yu so many private questions undoubtedly put him in an awkward position.

Fortunately, Gu Yu was very capable, if it had been someone else, wouldn't they have been left speechless?

"Yueyue, I'm just worried about you. I don't want you to marry the wrong person," her aunt said, pouting as if Lin Xinyue didn't understand.

"Aunt, why don't you worry about my cousin instead? He's the only one in our family who is still single," Lin Xinyue retorted with a purse of her lips.

She knew exactly what her aunt was implying; it was all to brag about her cousin, who was young and had already landed a job at a major company with a monthly income of twenty thousand!

Her aunt always did this, bringing up her cousin every time she visited Lin Xinyue's home.

On the surface, it seemed like concern, but in reality, it was an opportunity to show off her son's abilities in front of Gu Yu.

"Aunt, I'm actually doing okay, I may not earn much in a month, but twenty thousand is still within reach."

Gu Yu squeezed Lin Xinyue's arm, signaling her to stay calm, then he replied to her aunt.

In fact, he wanted to say he was already earning a hundred thousand a month.

But on second thought, boasting like that was too ostentatious and Lin Xinyue's family might think he was bluffing.

So, he took a different approach,

"Oh! Not bad, but you said you own a company, earning just twenty thousand a month seems a bit meager, doesn't it? Your company must not have many products, right?"

"Not to brag, but Yueyue's dad runs a gaming company and makes like ten million a year! You could learn a thing or two from her dad!"

Lin Xin's large aunt nodded in agreement, accepting Gu Yu's claims of earning twenty thousand as if that was all he could make.

"Of course, I'll definitely learn from Uncle!"

Gu Yu nodded with a smile and then glanced around the living room. He hadn't seen Lin Xin's father since he arrived.

"Where's Uncle? Isn't he home today?"

"Yue'er's dad is still at the company and hasn't come back yet. He'll probably be late."

Grandpa Xinyue, sitting in his wheelchair, was the one who spoke up.

He had been observing Gu Yu from the moment he arrived and so far, he was quite satisfied with him.

"Oh... Grandpa, is there a problem with your leg?"

Gu Yu nodded and then turned his attention to the old man's leg.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ah, it's an old issue! There's a bone tumor in my leg, can't stand up anymore."

Grandpa Xinyue sighed as if regretting the condition of his leg.

Gu Yu hesitated before speaking, "Grandpa, I know a pretty impressive doctor at Haidong Affiliated Hospital. If you want to treat your leg, I can get in touch for you?"

He was naturally referring to Old Dai, Dai Zhengguo.

Although Old Dai was a thoracic surgeon, with his status, he surely knew experts in orthopedics.

Maybe he could provide treatment for Grandpa Xinyue's bone tumor.

If that didn't work out... he himself could step in! It was just a matter of spending skill points.

If he could gain Grandpa Xinyue's approval, it would all be worth it!

"Haha, young man, it's nice of you to offer, but there's no need to trouble yourself."

The old man was happy to be cared for by his granddaughter's boyfriend.

But he still declined Gu Yu's kind offer.

In his view, how could a young man like Gu Yu know any truly impressive experts?

However, the thought alone was enough to satisfy him.

"My, my, Yu, you're quite sensible! We've already had Grandpa's leg looked at in other hospitals, treated several times, but to no avail."

"If you really do know any doctors, you must speak up for Grandpa!"

The large aunt couldn't resist chiming in again.

Even though she asked Gu Yu for help, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Grandpa Xinyue's bone tumor had been treated many times already, and several experts had been consulted, but to no success.

It wasn't that it couldn't be treated, but the old man's advanced age made them fear severe side effects.

"Right, I will."

Hearing the condescension in the large aunt's voice, Gu Yu didn't mind. He just nodded silently, taking the matter to heart.

Lin Xinyue, watching Gu Yu earnestly agree, was moved.

She knew Gu Yu was acquainted with Dai Zhengguo, and she was a doctor herself.

If Gu Yu said he would help her grandpa, then he would definitely do it!

She believed in Gu Yu!

The conversation turned casual again, and the topic was dropped as they moved on to other subjects.

Shortly after, there was another knock on the front door.

Mrs. Lin opened the door, and a young man dressed in a white coat walked in with his head held high.

With just a glance, Gu Yu could sense the pride radiating from him.

"Oh! My dear son, you're here too!"

Lin Xinyue's large aunt hurriedly stood up and walked over, pulling her son down to sit on the sofa.

He ended up sitting directly across from Gu Yu.

Gu Yu examined him, and he was also sizing up Gu Yu.

"Hello."

Gu Yu greeted first, but then the other man suddenly said, "Hm, you must be my cousin's boyfriend, right? You seem okay. Why don't you introduce yourself?"

Gu Yu: "???"
