033: Something More Important Than Repaying a Favor

"Gu Jun?"

Xu Yao noticed that he was distracted and reminded him.

When Gu Jun turned around, he saw the expectation on Xu Yao's face, and Gu Jun remembered the most important thing for him today.

Today is his first public appearance as Xu Yao's husband. His words and actions not only represent himself but also represent Xu Yao's reputation.

The anonymous donation can be discussed later; now he has to complete this more important task.

"Is it a good time to go see your mother?"

Gu Jun asked Xu Yao, and Xu Yao smiled and nodded: "My mother has wanted to see you for a long time."

Lin Meixian has already seen Gu Jun.

Because I didn't have high expectations of Gu Jun before, I was actually a little surprised to see him in person.

Gu Jun looked very respectable. He was not the programmer that Lin Meixian thought he was, the one who wore a plaid shirt and black-framed glasses and was silent when meeting anyone. Lin Meixian breathed a sigh of relief - Lin Meixian was afraid that Xu Yao would rush into marriage and not care about any conditions of the man!

Xu Yao brought Gu Jun to Lin Meixian and Wen Zhicheng.

"This is my mom and Uncle Wen. Mom, he's Gu Jun."

Gu Jun followed Xu Yao's way of addressing her, and also called Lin Meixian "Mom", and called Wen Zhicheng "Uncle", and wished the two a happy marriage.

Xu Yao thought that Gu Jun only prepared a gift for Lin Meixian, but she didn't expect that Gu Jun also prepared a gift for Wen Zhicheng.

The son-in-law was so considerate because he valued his daughter. Lin Meixian's smile was more sincere: "Live a good life with Yaoyao in the future."

Wen Zhicheng was a businessman, and he'd met countless young people. Seeing Gu Jun's unassuming demeanor, no less impressive than those of the second-generation elites he knew, he was pleased with Xu Yao's choice. Judging solely by Gu Jun's behavior, he was a good choice. If the two of them could live happily together, Lin Meixian wouldn't worry too much about it.

"Gu Jun, right? I don't have time to talk to you too much today. After the wedding banquet, let Yaoyao bring you back. We are all family from now on, so we should be closer to each other. If you young people have any difficulties, you can come and ask us, the elders."

Wen Zhicheng's attitude was to approve of Gu Jun.

This is the love for Lin Meixian that extends to her family. Lin Meixian can certainly feel it. She and Wen Zhicheng hold hands with a little force, and all her gratitude is expressed without words.

Lin Meixian was satisfied with Gu Jun, and Xu Yao was the happiest. Gu Jun could feel the warmth in Xu Yao's gaze as she looked at him.

Today's wedding banquet is not only a good day for Lin Meixian and Wen Zhicheng, but it will also warm up the relationship between Gu Jun and Xu Yao!

Someone wants to disturb this harmonious and warm atmosphere.

Wen Yiyi squeezed in between the four people and said, "Xu Yao, next time you come to our house empty-handed. We all know your situation. It must be hard to live with so much debt. Save money when you can. I see that the gift your husband bought is not cheap. Wouldn't it be nice if I save the money and help you pay the interest?"

Gu Jun gave Lin Meixian a set of high-end skin care products, and gave Wen Zhicheng a cigar. Wen Yiyi estimated that the cigar should be of about the same value as the skin care products.

"Oh, how much did it cost to buy so many things? I remember Senior Gu's family wasn't well off..."

The concern is fake, the harshness is real.

The money from the two gifts combined was only enough for Wen Yiyi to buy a bag.

But Wen Yiyi can buy a bag at will. Gu Jun's family is so poor. Even if he can earn some money now, his consumption concept can't be changed. He will definitely still be stingy.

Gu Jun is so willing to invest in Xu Yao, could he not think that Xu Yao is still the rich girl she used to be?

Wen Yiyi suspected that Xu Yao had concealed the fact of bankruptcy and debt from Gu Jun, or even if she had, she had not told him the whole story.

Now that the matter has been exposed, Wen Yiyi is looking forward to Gu Jun's change of attitude.

Wen Yiyi's harsh words made both of them frown at the same time.

One is Wen Zhicheng.

The anger that Wen Zhicheng had just barely suppressed was aroused again.

To protect Wen Yiyi from being bullied by her stepmother, Wen Zhicheng remained single for years after his wife's death. Only after Wen Yiyi graduated from university did he decide to find another partner. The feeling of a middle-aged man with a successful career, returning home from a busy social life to find no one to care for him, a sense of loss, was something young Wen Yiyi couldn't empathize with.

Can’t Wen Zhicheng marry a young woman?

Of course I can marry her!

But after a young woman gets married, she will definitely want to have her own children, and then the family will be in chaos.

Wen Zhicheng always considers Wen Yiyi, but Wen Yiyi insists on making things difficult for him on the happy day of his remarriage. Wen Zhicheng is extremely disappointed at this moment.

The other person who frowned was Gu Jun.

Gu Jun couldn't connect Wen Yiyi with the anonymous donor.

Gu Jun tried to convince himself that people are complicated, and that shallow and childish girls can occasionally do good things, and that he shouldn't have a preconceived notion about Wen Yiyi. But Wen Yiyi gave Gu Jun the impression that she was more than just shallow; she was mean!

"Miss Wen, have I ever offended you?"

Gu Jun did not wait for Xu Yao to stand up for him. Wen Yiyi's harshness was concealed, but Gu Jun was good at playing it straight without any concealment.

Wen Yiyi denied it outright, "Of course you haven't offended me."

Gu Jun suddenly realized, "That means my wife Xu Yao has offended you. Miss Wen, if Xu Yao hasn't done anything infuriating to you, could you please be patient today? After all, weddings require respect, so can we all work together to maintain this respectability?"

Wen Yiyi was completely stuck.

Xu Yao didn't expect Gu Jun to directly confront Wen Yiyi, but Gu Jun's attitude was sincere and he didn't use any dirty words. Such a straightforward man's speech seemed to be entirely considering today's wedding banquet. No one could accuse Gu Jun of being wrong.

Wen Zhicheng was completely embarrassed.

"Wen Yiyi, go back to your room."

Wen Yiyi couldn't believe it, "You're driving me away?!"

Wen Zhicheng showed no mercy. "I hope you can calm down. Wait until the wedding banquet is over before you come out. I'll have the food delivered to your room."

Wen Zhiben originally wanted to take advantage of today's opportunity to introduce Wen Yiyi to the guests. After all, Wen Yiyi is of marriageable age.

But everything Wen Yiyi did and said made Wen Zhicheng extremely disappointed. If he allowed Wen Yiyi to hang around at the wedding banquet, who knew how much trouble Wen Yiyi would cause and how many guests she would offend!

Wen Yiyi was reluctant to leave, but Wen Zhicheng had a trick up his sleeve: "I'll suspend your card."

Miss Wen is the one who has money to spend. Miss Wen who has no money is treated the same as the bankrupt Xu Yao when she goes out. Wen Yiyi finally succumbed to the threat of card suspension and left reluctantly with anger.

Wen Zhicheng apologized to Gu Jun and Xu Yao: "I spoiled Yiyi. For my sake, please don't bother with her."

Gu Jun turned to look at Xu Yao. Whether to accept the apology depended on Xu Yao's attitude. Gu Jun would not make the decision for Xu Yao.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Uncle Wen, Yiyi and I have known each other since we were young. I know her temper. I won't get angry just because she says something unpleasant. We don't live together anyway."

The person who will live with Wen Yiyi is Lin Meixian.

Wen Yiyi can say such ugly words in front of Wen Zhicheng, who knows what she will do to Lin Meixian behind Wen Zhicheng's back?

Lin Meixian couldn't say anything bad about Wen Yiyi, so Xu Yao would speak up for her today.

Of course, Wen Zhicheng could understand Xu Yao's subtext. Wen Yiyi was so tasteless in her actions, how could Wen Zhicheng continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb?

"I'll take care of this after the wedding banquet."
