Chapter 477 - 263: The Same Pig

Once Wu Tao’s emotions had calmed down a bit, he sized up the handsome young man sitting primly across from him.

If Qi Sheng were only dating one of the sisters, Wu Tao would have found it hard not to be extremely satisfied with him.

But both of his daughters were with this kid at the same time.

How could he face people and explain this in the future?

For a moment, the atmosphere grew a little tense.

Even the usually lively Wu Chuchu didn’t dare to make a move.

She sat obediently with her sister, as well-behaved as she used to be when she was getting scolded as a child.

Just as Wu Tao was about to speak, there was another knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

He Chunmei froze for a second when she saw the twin brothers and their mother, who were also carrying gifts.

"Aunt He, Gu Xing and I heard Qingqing and Chuchu were back, so we took the liberty of dropping by. I hope you don’t mind."

Gu Yan was the older of the twins. He had a sunny smile and was quite handsome.

He spoke in a gentle and refined manner, which had pleased her quite a bit.

But that was all before Qi Sheng had arrived.

Even though He Chunmei wanted to find fault, she still couldn’t find any flaws with the perfectly courteous Qi Sheng.

In terms of height, Qi Sheng was nearly six-foot-three.

The twin brothers were a flat six feet at most.

While six feet wasn’t short by any means for an average person, compared to her two five-foot-seven daughters, it wasn’t a perfect match.

As for looks, Qi Sheng left the two brothers in the dust, and it wasn’t even close.

The two of them might be considered decent-looking among ordinary people.

But compared to Qi Sheng, who was more than good-looking enough to be a huge celebrity, they weren’t even in the same league.

In that short span of time, a million thoughts ran through He Chunmei’s mind.

"Chunmei, do you have company?"

Zhou Hui found it a bit strange. The last time she brought her two sons to visit He Chunmei’s home, the other woman hadn’t acted like this.

She might not have been overly enthusiastic, but at least she wasn’t as hesitant as she was today.

"Sigh, you’d better come in."

He Chunmei sighed and stepped aside.

’They’re guests, after all. I can’t just leave them standing at the door.’

"Aunt Zhou."

The sisters greeted Zhou Hui politely when they saw her.

"Oh my, Qingqing and Chuchu, you’re both getting more and more beautiful."

"And this is?"

Zhou Hui smiled and nodded, but her heart tightened when she saw Qi Sheng sitting upright on the stool.

Judging from He Chunmei’s expression just now, this handsome young man was probably the boyfriend of one of the sisters.

At that thought, Zhou Hui’s smile faded slightly.

She carefully sized up her two sons’ powerful rival.

Sharp brows, star-like eyes, red lips, pearly teeth, a tall build...

’Wait, why are these all words of praise?’

Zhou Hui shook her head, trying her best to scrutinize Qi Sheng with a critical eye.

But no matter how high she raised her standards, Qi Sheng always managed to exceed them.

When Gu Yan and Gu Xing walked in, the first thing they saw was Wu Qingqing and Wu Chuchu.

They had seen photos before, but nothing could compare to the stunning impact of seeing them in person.

Their peerless beauty, like twin lotus flowers on a single stalk, perfectly captured every one of the brothers’ aesthetic preferences.

’If I could marry a girl this beautiful, I’d probably wake up laughing in my sleep.’

"Aunt Zhou, his name is Qi Sheng. He’s my boyfriend."

Considering there were outsiders present, Wu Chuchu decided to save her parents some face, affectionately linking her arm with Qi Sheng’s.

"Chunmei, is this for real?"

Zhou Hui’s expression wasn’t great.

During their last meeting, He Chunmei had solemnly promised that neither of the sisters had a boyfriend.

And now, after such a short time, one of them had already brought a boyfriend home.

"Huihui, it was me and Old Wu who didn’t have the full picture. We were in the wrong about this."

"Another day, we will definitely come to your house to apologize in person."

"You should take your things with you when you leave. It seems our two families aren’t fated to be in-laws."

He Chunmei breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that her daughters hadn’t revealed their shocking relationship.

"Chunmei, that’s not what I meant..."

Zhou Hui wasn’t really upset about the gifts, which were worth around ten thousand yuan.

Instead, she was worried because both of her sons had taken a liking to the Wu family’s pair of lovely sisters.

Now that the younger sister had a boyfriend, there was basically no chance for one of them.

But the older sister didn’t have a boyfriend. Maybe her older son could still give it a shot.

"Aunt He, Qingqing doesn’t also have a boyfriend, does she?"

Gu Yan gave his younger brother a look that said, ’Sorry, I can’t help you.’

Although the beautiful story of twin brothers marrying twin sisters was now basically shattered, if he could manage to marry Wu Qingqing, it wouldn’t be a total loss.

"Er..."

He Chunmei glanced at her older daughter and nodded awkwardly.

"Qingqing has a boyfriend, too."

"Chunmei, isn’t your family taking this too far?"

Zhou Hui’s expression instantly turned cold.

"You told me before that neither of your daughters was seeing anyone, so I went through all the trouble of persuading my Gu Yan and Gu Xing."

"And now it turns out both your daughters have boyfriends? Are you just making fools of us?"

"Huihui, this really is my fault and Old Wu’s, but it has nothing to do with Qingqing and Chuchu."

He Chunmei frowned, but she didn’t want to fall out with an old friend she was on good terms with.

"Chunmei, I’m not trying to show off, but my Gu Yan and Gu Xing are top students who graduated from Peking University."

"Not to mention they earn over 500,000 yuan a year and have a house and car in Wuhan. Countless girls dream of marrying them."

"This young man might be good-looking, but in terms of qualifications, he can’t necessarily compare to my Gu Yan and Gu Xing."

To begin with, Zhou Hui had been quite dissatisfied that her two sons had fallen for the Qingqing and Chuchu sisters.

If she were choosing daughters-in-law, she definitely wouldn’t just pick based on looks; she would also have to consider the woman’s family background.

Wu Qingqing and Wu Chuchu both worked as flight attendants.

Not only was the job unstable, but their social circles were probably a mess.

But she couldn’t stand in the way of her sons’ affections, and they had worn her down.

That was why she had swallowed her pride and personally brought them over to visit.

He Chunmei was instantly displeased and shot back, "Huihui, are you saying my Qingqing and Chuchu aren’t good enough for your Gu Yan and Gu Xing?"

"I never said that, but marriage is no child’s play. Why not find a partner with better qualifications, don’t you think?"

Zhou Hui didn’t admit it verbally, but her expression undoubtedly conveyed that very meaning.

"Heh, Aunt Zhou, my sister and I are clearly not good enough for your two top students."

"You should just take your things and go. With the time you’re wasting here, you could be checking out other girls."

Wu Chuchu had never been a pushover. Seeing her mom getting so angry, she retorted without holding back.

"Hey..."

Zhou Hui was stunned. She hadn’t expected Wu Chuchu to dare speak to her like that.

’She’s not even married into the family yet, and she’s already acting like this.’

’If she actually married in, wouldn’t she be the death of me?’

"Mom, that’s enough."

Seeing Zhou Hui’s furious expression, Gu Yan quickly reached out and pulled his mom back.

It was one thing for Zhou Hui to be domineering at home, where her word was law.

But this was someone else’s home—and the home of the girls he and his brother were very much smitten with.

If Zhou Hui caused a scene like this, they could forget any hope of winning the beauties over.

"Aunt He, Uncle Wu, please don’t be angry."

"My mom is just blunt and speaks her mind. She really didn’t mean to look down on Qingqing and Chuchu."

Gu Yan quickly apologized on his mother’s behalf, glancing at the IWC Portugieser on his wrist.

"Uncle Wu, Aunt He, Qingqing, Chuchu, and... this gentleman here. It’s getting late, why don’t we all go out for a meal?"

"Sigh, this meal is on us. It will be our formal apology to your family."

He Chunmei had genuinely meant well before.

Besides, the brothers Gu Yan and Gu Xing were truly outstanding.

If they had ended up with her Qingqing and Chuchu, she and her husband wouldn’t have had to worry about the sisters going astray.

"Chunmei, I was out of line just now. My words were a bit harsh. You and Old Wu shouldn’t be angry!"

After receiving continuous meaningful glances from her sons, Zhou Hui cursed them in her head—’those two brats are forgetting their mother before they’ve even married their wives!’—and offered a reluctant apology.

"Old Wu and I understand. You should call Old Gu to come along too."

"We can just have a casual meal together and clear the air."

Right now, He Chunmei couldn’t be bothered with the issue of Qi Sheng and her two daughters; settling things with Zhou Hui was the priority.

"Chunmei..."

Seeing the anxious looks on her sons’ faces, Zhou Hui didn’t know what to say.

From the sound of it, this potential marriage alliance was probably off the table.

...

When they got downstairs, Gu Yan’s Mercedes-Benz GLC was parked right next to an Aston Martin DBX.

"The color of this car is quite pretty. What brand is it?"

Zhou Hui asked her sons with a smile, trying to make conversation.

"It’s an Aston Martin. This model was just released. I can’t believe someone already got their hands on one. It must’ve cost around 3 million yuan out the door."

Gu Yan smoothly picked up the conversation, his tone filled with unconcealed envy.

Even though he and his brother were both top graduates from Peking University, an annual salary of a few hundred thousand yuan was pretty much their limit at the moment.

A luxury car on the level of an Aston Martin was something they wouldn’t even dare to consider.

"3 million?"

Zhou Hui was stunned, clucking her tongue in amazement.

"Chunmei, someone in your neighborhood drives such an expensive car?"

"Is that very expensive?"

Wu Chuchu dangled the car keys and pressed the unlock button.

Instantly, the Aston Martin’s lights flashed a few times.

"Aunt Zhou, don’t tell me your family can’t even afford a car of this caliber?"

Wu Chuchu, who had been holding in her anger, now struck back without mercy.

"Er..."

Zhou Hui was rendered speechless by the retort, but she couldn’t stop her mind from racing.

She was well aware of Wu Qingqing’s and Wu Chuchu’s profession.

They were supposedly flight attendants for some private jet company.

Although they earned a decent amount, it was thirty to fifty thousand yuan a month at most.

After expenses, if they managed to save 200,000 a year, that would be considered frugal of them.

But a luxury car that costs three million out the door... could the two sisters afford that on their small income?

Unless... some man had spent a fortune on them!

"Chuchu, did you buy this car?"

Gu Xing, who had been quiet the whole time, couldn’t help but glance at Qi Sheng.

If this rival had really bought the car for Wu Chuchu, then he might as well give up now.

The guy gives her a 3-million-yuan luxury car. How the hell was he supposed to compete with that?!

"I can’t afford it. My boyfriend gave it to me!"

Wu Chuchu said without hesitation, planting a quick kiss on Qi Sheng’s cheek.

"Ha... well, congratulations on finding such a great boyfriend."

The light in Gu Xing’s eyes dimmed, and he completely gave up hope of pursuing Wu Chuchu.

As for his older brother, maybe he still had a sliver of a chance.

"You silly girl, there are guests here! Have you no shame!"

Seeing Wu Chuchu kiss Qi Sheng, He Chunmei couldn’t help but glare at her younger daughter, who never failed to give her a headache.

Seeing this Aston Martin DBX, Wu Tao and He Chunmei were now completely convinced of the fact that both sisters were with Qi Sheng.

Because in the photos Wu Chuchu had posted online, the car wasn’t this one.

It was a different sports car.

If they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, would he give their older daughter a 3-million-yuan luxury car?

The two tender cabbages they had raised for over twenty years had been rooted up by the same pig.

Wu Tao and He Chunmei looked at each other and shared a bitter smile.

The fact that their two daughters hadn’t brought home a man their own age was a silver lining in this unfortunate situation.
