The few invitations were delivered to everyone five days before the birthday party, and Xie Lin was a little surprised when she received the invitation.
Xie Lin knew that Ji Yan disliked her. Now that she and Gu Yu had quarreled again, the invitation should not have been sent to her. But it was not just her, Xiao Han was also included.
She was a little curious and came to Lu An Ning to inquire about the news.
Seeing her nervousness, Lu An Ning couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're an academic, and you're afraid of such occasions? Maybe the Gu family values talent! They don't want your relationship with Gu Yu to be affected. As for Xiao Han, he's certainly capable, so background isn't necessarily that important."
Xie Lin was in a dilemma. Gu Yu and Xiao Han always quarreled when they met. If she went, she was afraid that something unpleasant would happen.
"That's my dad's birthday party. If they don't get along, my second brother will probably restrain himself. Anyway, you've already made it clear, so there's no need to overthink it. It's not a bad idea to take Xiao Han with you to meet more people. He wants to gain a foothold in Kyoto after all. You can think about it yourself."
Xie Lin suddenly understood: "Then let's go choose clothes together later?"
Lu Anning readily agreed. She was worried that no one would go shopping with her. She really had no desire to buy anything by herself.
"Actually, you don't have to worry. My eldest brother told me that Dr. Gu has been very busy lately, and all his attention is on his adopted sister. Maybe..."
Lu An Ning didn't finish his words because Gu Yue also said something when he was free, that Gu Yu and Lu Yunxi were quite close.
Xie Lin understood immediately: "You and your eldest brother have a good relationship recently! It's getting better and better."
Lu Anning smiled. If that was the case, it must be due to the food she ate. She then realized that during the time Gu Yue had been dining with her, she had indeed learned a lot about the Gu family.
I heard that Lu Yunxi's face has recovered better than before under Gu Yu's careful care.
The medicine was made by Xie Lin, so it naturally caused Lu Yunxi to peel off a layer of skin. Without proper care, it would be difficult to recover. However, if the medicine was used properly, it could indeed improve the original skin, after all, it was newly grown.
"Oh right! Speaking of Gu Yao, I think I saw her a few days ago."
"Isn't it normal to see her?"
Xie Lin lowered her voice, moved closer to her and said, "Do you know where I saw her? The hospital, the obstetrics and gynecology department."
After Xie Lin finished speaking, the two saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Isn't she recuperating under Gu Yu's care?"
Lu Anning seemed to have guessed something extraordinary, but when he thought about it carefully, he found it a little unbelievable.
Lu Yunxi has always called Gu Yu "Second Brother"!
Based on Lu Anning's understanding of Gu Yu, no matter how confused he is, nothing would really happen between him and Lu Yunxi. However, Lu Yunxi's character is not good, and if he uses some tricks, it is possible that something will happen.
Xie Lin said firmly, "Actually, I've always felt that Gu Yao looked at Gu Yu differently. My intuition has always been accurate. At the time, it was because they were too close and Gu Yu had no sense of boundaries. I couldn't stand it, so I broke up with him. It wasn't just because of Xiao Han."
After hearing what Xie Lin said, Lu Anning also remembered that although they were both sisters, Gu Yu rarely had a good face towards her, but he protected Lu Yunxi in every way.
The person who was most excited when Lu Yunxi got into trouble last time was Gu Yu.
If Lu Yunxi really had something with Gu Yu...
"I think it won't be long before we know the truth."
Maybe, at a birthday party soon...
As the birthday party approached, Gu Yue became busy and no longer came to Lu An Ning for lunch every day. Lu An Ning finally had time for Tang Jingyuan.
The Tang family, which also received an invitation, also asked Tang Jingyuan to attend on their behalf.
"My second uncle went to the archaeological base, acting mysteriously. I think he found something interesting. This time, I have no choice but to represent the Tang family."
The gifts were prepared by Tang Lianfeng. They were all treasures picked out from his warehouse. Each one of them was priceless, which saved Lu Anning the trouble of choosing the gifts himself.
In a blink of an eye, it was the birthday day. The hotel banquet hall was filled with laughter. Gu Zhiwei was surrounded by people and accepted the guests' congratulations.
Lu Anning took Tang Jingyuan's arm and went forward to greet him. She presented him with a gift according to the rules and called him "Dad" obediently, which was rare. Gu Zhiwei accepted the gift with a satisfied smile, and the scene was harmonious.
Lu Anning was searching for a familiar figure in the crowd, only to discover that Xie Lin and Xiao Han were sitting in a quiet corner chatting. Xiao Han was dressed in a suit and tie, looking quite serious. Perhaps he was not used to such scenes. When someone came over to greet him, he just smiled stiffly and was not good at talking.
Tang Jingyuan was being pestered by someone he knew, so Lu Anning simply went to talk to Xie Lin. In this circle, she was the only one who could have a say.
When the three of them met, Xiao Han finally relaxed and gradually talked more.
While Lu An Ning was chatting with them, Xie Lin suddenly pushed Lu An Ning's arm and motioned her to look back.
Lu Anning looked in the direction Xie Lin was looking, and saw that Lu Yunxi and Gu Yu were sitting in the corner on the other side, and Ji Yan was not with them.
At first glance, Lu Yunxi was surprisingly low-key today. Even the dress she was wearing was an ordinary style that covered her waist, making her inconspicuous. The pale foundation concealed her original complexion, and she looked listless.
Lu Anning couldn't help but be surprised. Lu Yunxi loved this kind of occasion the most. What happened today?
