"What are you doing?" Old Master Gu said coldly to Gu Nanyan. "Sylvia..." he said, stepping forward to push Gu's aunt aside. "The younger generation is all here." He then grabbed her sleeve.

Old Madam Gu tried to push him away, but Old Master Gu held on tightly, pleading pitifully, "Sylvia..." Both were nearing seventy, but Old Master Gu was clearly much better preserved than Old Master Shen, looking like a middle-aged man in his prime.

"Gu Cheng, have some shame." You know the younger generation is all here, and you still act like this?

Gu's aunt made way for her parents, and taking this opportunity, Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu sat directly in the seats that Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian had just vacated.

"Sit where you're supposed to sit. Do I need to invite you?" Old Master Gu said firmly, scanning the entire room. Everyone silently sat down... to watch the show.

"Yan'er, sit up there." Old Master Gu held Old Madam Gu's sleeve tightly and casually gave the order.

After exchanging glances with the man who looked to be in his twenties or thirties sitting in the second seat on the left, Gu Nanyan settled Shen Bei'an in the first seat on the left and took the seat of honor himself.

Shen Beian immediately recognized the handsome man with blue eyes and a good temperament as his father-in-law, and the smiling woman next to him as his mother-in-law.

But is it really okay for his wife to sit in the main seat?!

But no one else, whether younger or older, seemed to find it strange, as if it were the norm.

“The Gu family isn’t very strict about rules, and my grandfather and father have completely retired, so it’s fine for me to sit here,” Gu Nanyan leaned over and said softly.

Meanwhile, Old Master Gu was still coaxing Old Madam Gu, and Gu Tao arranged for someone to serve the meal.

The Gu family does not have the habit of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

Madam Gu smiled and looked at Shen Bei'an across from her. "Bei'an, I heard from Lao Tao that you and Yan'er came up by cable car. Is there anything wrong with you?" Madam Gu not only did not look old, but her voice was also very pleasant and gentle.

Shen Bei'an had been diligently washing his hands and was wiping them with the handkerchief Gu Nan'an handed him when he heard this voice. He subconsciously looked over and, true to form, spoke faster than he thought, "My back is a little sore."

She suddenly changed her tune, "Um, Grandma, it's nothing, I'm just not feeling well."

Shen Bei'an!!

What did you just say?

Madam Gu's smile widened. "I know, I know, you young people really know how to have fun."

Whether it was Shen Bei'an's imagination or not, he felt that Grandma Gu's words were somewhat different.

Upon hearing this, most people laughed and teased. Sheng Hualan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, saying, "Bei'an, you two have been married for almost a year now, aren't you planning to go on a honeymoon?"

Gu Xiuhuang, who was sitting next to her, put a piece of green vegetable in her bowl. Sheng Hualan chewed on braised pork. Since she was at home, her face was completely bare, and her lips were covered in braised pork sauce. She smacked her lips, and her chopsticks were practically poking the green vegetable to pieces.

Shen Beian stepped on Gu Nanyan's foot under the table. Shouldn't this question be asked of Gu Nanyan?

"Mom, I'm making arrangements right now. You and Dad have already traveled all over Europe, where are you planning to go in the second half of the year?" Gu Nanyan also served food to Shen Beian.

The table was full of elders. Shen Bei'an didn't want to eat and was about to pick up other dishes when he turned his head and saw that his mother-in-law was also being picky about food!

Gu Xiuhuang took a piece of lettuce, put a piece of grilled meat inside, added some other ingredients, wrapped it up, and handed it directly to Sheng Hualan's mouth. "Go and have some fun in the water towns of Jiangnan. It's not summer vacation yet, but during peak season, we'll stay in a villa near West Lake in Suzhou for a while. You two can go there too, the scenery is beautiful." His voice was clear and cold, but when he turned to his lover, his voice was gentle and affectionate, "Lanlan."

Sheng Hualan opened her mouth helplessly, as if she had some deep-seated hatred.
