Chapter 1972: The Miserable Fiancée vs. the Heiress (Part 7)
Gu Shengyin looked at Chang Gensheng.
He was of intermediate height, with a somewhat thin face, wearing a half-new green robe, looking more like a delicate scholar than a merchant.
Gu Shengyin looked at her father’s handsome and lean face, and understood from whom Chang Jiujiu had inherited her good looks.
The father of this body was indeed a middle-aged handsome uncle.
No wonder that even though Chang Gensheng was over thirty and had such a big daughter, matchmakers in town still came to propose marriages one after another.
Gu Shengyin walked to her father and said, "Father, a few days ago I went to the temple to burn incense, and on my way back, I picked up an ancient book with various flower cultivation methods. It is said that using those methods makes the flowers more vibrant than ordinary flowers and plants. I thought about buying some seeds to try it out."
Chang Gensheng asked in confusion, "Why haven’t I heard you mention this before?"
Gu Shengyin stuck out her tongue and said, "I was just playing with it, who knew that book suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday, and today I just happen to remember it."
Chang Gensheng didn’t take it to heart.
Ordinary flower seeds weren’t very expensive, and he always indulged his only daughter. So he immediately said, "When I go to the shop this afternoon, I’ll bring you back some seeds. What kind of flowers do you like?"
Gu Shengyin thought for a moment and said, "Just buy some cheap ones. I just want to plant them for fun."
Chang Gensheng nodded.
After finishing this topic, Gu Shengyin did not leave.
She stood aside, bit her lip, and suddenly asked, "Father, do you want me to marry Brother Chang Fei?"
Chang Gensheng was taken aback.
He had always had such an idea, and he knew that Chang Fei had also noticed it, but he had never mentioned it to his daughter.
He asked in surprise, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Gu Shengyin tugged on his sleeve and pouted, "I’m not a fool, you know."
Chang Gensheng thought his daughter had grown up and had her own thoughts as a young girl should.
He laughed and sighed, saying, "I’m getting old, and my Jiujiu needs someone reliable to look after her."
This was as good as an admission.
But Gu Shengyin pouted, "But I don’t want to marry Brother Chang Fei."
Chang Gensheng was stunned and asked, "Why?"
From his perspective, Chang Fei was indeed a very suitable husband in this town.
Educated, good-looking, and courteous.
Even families unaware of the situation had sent matchmakers to propose to him.
Gu Shengyin said, "I’ve always seen Brother Chang Fei as a real brother, and Brother Chang Fei is very popular among the girls."
The words were spoken without intention, but they were well-received.
Chang Gensheng furrowed his brow, "You say that Chang Fei is popular with the girls?"
Gu Shengyin affirmed, "Yes, several of my girlfriends like Brother Chang Fei. One of them even said he accepted her handkerchief!"
She went on to explain, "It’s not an intimate item, just a towel for wiping sweat."
However, even so, it was enough to draw Chang Gensheng’s attention.
He took a couple of deep breaths, suppressing his inner anger, and said to his daughter, "Jiujiu, the sun is quite strong these days, don’t go out if you don’t have to. I’m going to the shop now."
Gu Shengyin nodded obediently and walked out of the room by herself.
With a cold face, Chang Gensheng found the old family servant, Uncle Yuan, and asked him to inquire about some things.
