Wen Yi suddenly had a question: Can I trust the man next to me?
He is the husband.
Even though they were a couple working together, it seemed like he was always there for her, shielding her from many things.
While Wen Yi was distracted, Second Master Gu had already gotten out of the car and walked around to Wen Yi's side to open the car door for her.
"Please, madam."
He gestured for Wen Yi to enter, extending his hand in front of him.
The Wen family members, already aware of the situation outside, came out and witnessed this scene.
Wen Yi calmly placed her hand in Master Gu's palm, and was led out by him towards the Wen family.
Although Master Gu was wearing a mask, he was still very gentlemanly, protecting Wen Yi behind him and walking towards the Wen family with his arm around her waist.
The man was tall with long legs, and the woman was a shoulder shorter than him. Being protected by him as she walked beside him, she exuded an indescribable sense of elegance.
Wen's parents were so stunned that they couldn't even come back to their senses; it was Wen Ge who came to her senses first.
“My sister and brother-in-law are a perfect match,” Wen Ge said. “It seems this marriage is a good thing for my sister.”
Wen Ge's words made Wen's parents realize what she meant, and Wen's mother almost blurted out, "Yes, we have to thank Wen Ge for that..."
"Mom, my sister's happy life today is all thanks to you. You have good taste and chose the best brother-in-law for my sister."
Wen Ge interrupted her mother, her every word flattering Master Gu.
But to Wen Yi, every word was sarcastic.
Back then, the Second Master Gu of Yutingyuan was like a demon, shrouding the entire Haicheng. Everyone was afraid of such a person, saying that no one who married into Yutingyuan survived, and that this Second Master was cruel and left no room for compromise.
Master Gu helped the Wen family in the past, and now they want Wen Ge to marry into the Royal Garden under the pretext of a marriage alliance. They cannot hand over Wen Ge, because they believe that the noble Wen Ge should marry into the prestigious Gu family, not the devilish Royal Garden.
They tried every means possible, using familial and moral blackmail, to force Wen Yi to marry into the Imperial Garden in place of Wen Ge.
In the end, this unfair marriage is summed up with the phrase, "The mother's choice was clear, and Wen Yi married well."
That's really... quite interesting.
As Wen Yi inwardly scoffed, she felt the man holding her hand stroking the back of her hand with his fingertips over and over again.
When Wen looked up, she saw a reassuring look in the man's eyes.
Her heart started racing again.
It looks too much like Gu Huaixu.
That look in his eyes—it was the same look Ah Xu would give her whenever she was sad or hurt. He didn't need to say anything; his eyes were full of comfort, clearly telling her that he was there for her.
Wen closed her eyes, forcing herself to stop dreaming.
Even if Gu Huaixu hadn't died, he couldn't possibly be the Second Master Gu.
This is outrageous.
"Alright, everyone, stop standing outside and come inside. The dinner is ready."
As the head of the family, Mr. Wen gave the order and invited Second Master Gu and Wen Yi to the restaurant.
When Wen Yi saw the restaurant, which was clearly meticulously decorated, and the food on it, her heart sank.
With the Wen family making such meticulous preparations, this matter is likely to be extremely troublesome.
"I told you, I'm here for you." Gu Huaixu sensed Wen Yi's emotional fluctuations again and said reassuringly in her ear.
Wen Yi's expression was solemn.
"Second Master, please sit here with Wen Yi," Madam Wen said with a smile, inviting Second Master Gu and Wen Yi to sit in seats below the main seat.
Master Gu nodded and led Wen Yi to sit down.
Wen Ge sat opposite Master Gu.
She left the film set early and returned after carefully dressing up. Now she looked like a sophisticated young socialite, sitting opposite Master Gu and giving him a sweet smile.
Mr. Wen sat in the main seat. After Mrs. Wen was seated, Mr. Wen raised his glass and said, "First of all, I would like to thank Second Master Gu for taking time out of his busy schedule to attend this banquet. It is an honor for the Wen family."
Master Gu picked up his wine glass and played a polite game with Father Wen, saying, "Father-in-law, you're joking. We're all family, it's only right that we come back for a meal."
"I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to properly spend time with my wife when she came back. It's my fault, and I'll punish myself with a drink."
After Gu Huaixu finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Father Wen laughed, “Second Master has a good capacity for alcohol. Since Second Master is so generous, I naturally can’t be too coy.”
After saying that, Wen's father raised his head and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.
The two men toasted heartily, while the three women took a symbolic sip.
"Second Master, I'd like to offer you a toast." Wen Ge stood up and raised her glass to Second Master Gu with both hands.
Wen Yi looked at Wen Ge calmly.
From the moment she sat down, Wen Yi kept staring at Wen Ge, scrutinizing her.
Normally, the person sitting opposite Master Gu should be Wen's mother, but Wen Ge sat down first. Wen Yi noticed this just now, and even Wen's mother herself was a little surprised.
Wen Ge said, "Second Master probably doesn't know, but my sister and I have had a very good relationship since we were little. She practically raised me. She is very important to me, and I love her very much."
To me, my sister's happiness is more important than mine. Now, I dare to offer you a toast, Second Master, as a way of asking you to take good care of my sister.
After speaking, Wen Ge raised her head and finished the wine in her glass.
She choked a little, but maintained her composure. She wiped her mouth with a tissue, but her eyes reddened and became wet. When she looked up at Master Gu, she gave off a pitiful feeling.
They are especially pitiful.
Wen's mother hurriedly got up to comfort her, "I said, you silly girl, why are you showing off? If you want to show respect to your brother-in-law, just give him a token gesture, he won't hold it against you."
Wen Ge smiled bravely, "I was also afraid that if I wasn't sincere enough, my brother-in-law wouldn't treat my sister well."
