When Lan Yao, the true daughter who grew up in the countryside, was humiliated by the younger generation of the Lan and Xu families, she suddenly awakened the memories of her past life and realized...
They're in a corner, so their arguing won't bother anyone else.
The people next to them weren't like those at their table; they had their mothers around and weren't provoking them.
They're busy eating vegetables over there, and meat dishes at that—it's a rare treat! Why aren't they eating vegetables? Being busy arguing is just plain crazy.
And just then, Lan Yao came out wearing a new bright red dress.
Compared to the previous outfit, which was rather flamboyant and dazzlingly red, this one is much more understated and simple.
Gu Zixiao took his wife's arm and started toasting from the front table.
The tables in front were occupied by Gu Zixiao's former superiors, people in high positions, and the elderly Gu couple sitting there.
As for the rest of the Gu family, they were all relegated to a corner by Gu Zixiao's comrades.
The comrade's reasoning was quite sound: "You weren't explicitly notified yesterday that you were coming, so naturally the groom's family didn't reserve a spot for you."
You'll have to make do in the corner. The tables in the corner aren't even for you.
"I'm still worried that with more and more people, we won't be prepared enough."
In fact, although everyone was terrified of Gu Zixiao, Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao were both very popular.
So, knowing that they were getting married and holding a wedding banquet today, quite a few people came to eat.
Therefore, the originally prepared tables were not enough, and many more tables had to be added temporarily.
Fortunately, Lan Yao had the foresight to buy a lot of meat and vegetables in advance.
Of course, in the end, there were only so many meat and vegetables left, and if that wasn't enough to go around, then there would only be vegetables.
Even when it came to vegetables, no one seemed to mind.
Some people have discovered that this vegetable dish is even tastier than meat; it's crisp, tender, and incredibly sweet, the kind of dish that will make your eyes light up after you eat it.
I wanted to eat more after I ate it.
Therefore, a small number of people did not complain, but instead focused on eating their food.
After people at other tables noticed, they started eating the vegetables on the table, and then it got out of control.
"My goodness, this green vegetable is so delicious."
Hearing this, the others, out of curiosity, also started eating vegetables.
And then it spiraled out of control.
So when Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao came over to offer a toast, they found that everyone was too busy eating to drink.
Li Sangye was in charge of filming. When she saw the person in the camera eating so much that he wanted to bury him in the food, she found it quite strange.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is this food that delicious? You guys aren't drinking and chatting anymore."
Li Sangye had attended many banquets before, although many ordinary people would start eating right away.
But those sitting in the front, the people of status, all like to drink and chat.
How can things be like this now, where people just eat vegetables and completely ignore everything else?
Gu Zixiao subconsciously looked at his wife.
His wife usually enjoys growing vegetables, and most of the vegetables this time were grown by her.
The taste is naturally different.
Lan Yao noticed Gu Zixiao's gaze and gave him a slight smile.
Gu Zixiao's heart fluttered at Lan Yao's smile. To be honest, if the timing weren't so bad...
He really wanted to give his wife a kiss in front of everyone, but unfortunately he couldn't.
Gu Zixiao thought with some regret.
As soon as Li Sangye asked the question, no one responded.
Li Sangye asked again helplessly, and someone on the other end replied reluctantly, "Why else? Of course, it's because the food is delicious. Otherwise, would we be so busy eating?"
That's absolutely right.
Although Li Sangyean had guessed it, she still couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao naturally felt very proud that others were satisfied with the banquet he had prepared for his wedding.
Gu Zixiao raised his glass to the people at the table and said, "Thank you all for coming. I hope you enjoy the food and drinks."
The groom had already come over to toast, so it wasn't appropriate for everyone to just sit there eating and drinking. They all raised their glasses and drank with Gu Zixiao, then took out the red envelopes they had prepared and gave them to Lan Yao.
They continued eating and drinking, clearly showing no interest in drinking or chatting.
Wang Zhenfeng, who was helping out from the side, couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time when he saw this scene.
This continued in a loop until the couple reached a corner, and Lan Yao still hadn't said a word.
The jade Pixiu in Lan Yao's mind excitedly exclaimed, "Master, Master, look who that is!"
Even without the jade Pixiu's reminder, Lan Yao saw it.
Even though Lan Jiaojiao's appearance had changed, Lan Yao still recognized her at first glance.
Before the Lan family fell into ruin, Lan Jiaojiao was simply unbearable to look at.
She is now thin and haggard, with heavy dark circles under her eyes, and looks much older.
When Lan Yao stared intently at Lan Jiaojiao, everyone else noticed something was wrong.
Just now, the Gu family was confronted by those around them, and they almost got into an argument, but in the end, others stopped them.
They still didn't leave, and even shamelessly ate a lot more.
Even the third branch of the Gu family, which was the most criticized just now.
The reason why the Gu family didn't leave was quite simple: they wanted to see what Gu Zixiao's legendary wife actually looked like.
They were in a corner, far from the front. Even if the couple had been standing in front, people behind them wouldn't have been able to see them. This was mainly because many people had gone to the front to watch the commotion, blocking their view.
Now that the Gu family has seen Lan Yao's appearance, they sincerely have to say that the couple is indeed a perfect match.
Just based on his looks.
Everyone would say that the two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
It is a well-known fact that Gu Zixiao has been outstanding in appearance since childhood.
Later, I don't know when it started, probably a few years ago.
The Gu family then noticed that Gu Zixiao's appearance had become even more outstanding, as if his original appearance had been purified, with all the essence concentrated in his appearance, allowing his looks to truly shine.
However, despite his improved appearance, Gu Zixiao's martial arts skills should not be underestimated.
The members of the third branch of the Gu family like to secretly say that Gu Zixiao looks like a woman, and how will someone who is even more beautiful than a woman find a wife in the future?
Okay, now we have the results!
He found someone whose looks were comparable to his.
Seriously... I'm so jealous.
Gu Zixiao noticed his wife's unusual behavior and couldn't help but ask, "Do you know this person?"
Lan Yao withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Yes, we know each other. We really do know each other very well."
Jade Pixiu added: "It's not just knowing each other, it's practically being enemies. There's a saying, 'It comes without any effort.'"
Jade Abacus: "...Isn't it both far away and right before our eyes?"
Jade Pixiu: "Hey, what you said makes sense."
Lan Yao had always known that Lan Jiaojiao was around her, but she just hadn't gone to look for her.
