Chapter 359: Young people do not know the value of pearls, and mistake stones for treasures
Even Murong Sheng and the Sixth Prince were amazed by the dish. It was rare to see such harmony at the dinner table.
Everyone was busy eating, and Su Jing took his brothers to toast at each table.
He was getting married today, so he definitely couldn't get drunk. That was why he asked a few strong men to help him stop the drinking.
Su Chen and Su Mu were almost drunk, but Jiang Yu seemed to be still sober. This guy had a good alcohol tolerance.
When he arrived in front of Gu Yue's desk, Gu Yue immediately stood up and looked at Su Jing with a smile.
Su Jing was a little surprised to see that it was her who came. He remembered that he didn't invite her.
But since we are here, we are guests!
Su Chen and Su Mu looked at each other and fell silent. Su Jing filled his glass with wine and raised it to Gu Yue.
"It is a great honor for our humble home to have the presence of County Lady Huaimin."
I don’t know whether it will be a good thing or not, but it’s definitely very awkward, so I still have to say some polite words.
Gu Yue is also shameless. No matter how the Su family alienates her, she can still call them brother:
"Brother, happy wedding! I wish you and sister-in-law a long and happy marriage."
Su Jing drank the wine in one gulp and just smiled without saying anything.
After everyone toasted, Su Jing and the others finally had time to return to their seats to eat some food.
However, Gu Yue's calling of "big brother" puzzled several of her classmates at the same table, so they asked her what was going on.
Gu Yue then took the opportunity to tell them about the identity swap with Su Wan. Only then did they know that Gu Yue and the Su family were a family before. She was considered an adopted sister, and these brothers in the Su family were also considered her brothers.
It just so happened that the people sitting at the same table with her were all well-known loudmouths, so it didn't take long for everyone to know about this matter.
Halfway through the meal, Gu Yue saw Su Yun going to the backyard alone. She found an excuse to leave the table and followed him. Su Wan had been paying attention to her intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing that she followed her fourth brother, she was worried and followed quietly behind.
Su Yun was a little tired today and wanted to go back to his yard to rest for a while. He was no longer needed in the front yard.
But I didn't expect that Gu Yue would follow me. At this moment, the guests were having a feast in the front yard, and the servants were also helping in the front yard, so the backyard was empty.
"Fourth brother!" Gu Yue called out from behind.
Su Yun was walking happily on the road with his hands behind his back, but when he heard the voice, he was stunned.
There are only two people in the mansion who call him Fourth Brother, Su Wan and Su Yi. Moreover, Su Yi is a man, so he rarely calls himself Fourth Brother.
He could recognize Su Wan's voice at once. This female voice was obviously not Su Wan's voice.
He turned his head and saw a woman in a pink dress walking towards him.
When he got closer, he was a little hesitant to recognize the person in front of him. Was it Gu Yue?
All in all, after not seeing each other for five years, each other's appearance has already undergone subtle changes, losing their youthfulness and becoming more stable and mature.
The woman in front of him has grown up and become a grown-up girl, no longer the childish girl she used to be.
To be honest, Su Yun's life has been occupied by Su Wan in recent years, and he has gradually forgotten the existence of Gu Yue. However, he has never forgotten the trauma she left on him. The scar under her shoulder blade has faded with the passage of time, but it will never disappear.
I heard that she is now a county lady, but her status is still not as noble as Wanwan's.
Su Yun smiled awkwardly, thinking back to the past, some scenes that still left a shadow on him flashed through his mind.
"County Lady Huaimin, right? I'm honored to meet you." Su Yun bowed to her.
"Fourth brother, why are you so polite? Just treat me as an ordinary person."
Now the Su family is very polite to her. She felt embarrassed at first, but now she is used to it.
"County Lady Huaimin thinks too highly of me. How can I, a commoner, be so disrespectful to her?"
He is not in the official career, he is even a traveling businessman, just a commoner.
As Su Yun spoke, he took two steps back, putting some distance between him and her. Seeing this, Su Wan, who was hiding behind a pillar and peeking, smiled unkindly.
Didn't she cast a shadow over Fourth Brother? And why did she show off in front of him?
Gu Yue's smile froze a little, and her outstretched hand froze helplessly in mid-air. She wanted to take a step forward, but she didn't know how to do it.
She took a deep breath and said:
"Fourth brother, whether you admit it or not, I have always regarded you as my own brother in my heart. I was young and ignorant before, and did things that hurt you. I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, fourth brother, please forgive me!" Gu Yue bowed to him solemnly.
Seeing this, Su Yun remained calm and just chuckled.
"County Lady, I only have one younger sister. Her name is Su Wan. She was personally conferred the title of Princess Xuanle by the Emperor. As for the past, I don't remember anything."
Once Su Yun lets go of something, he really lets go. He is not afraid of hurting Gu Yue, but speaks his mind directly.
These words hurt Gu Yue deeply.
Her eyes were full of tears, the corners of her eyes were red, and she looked at Su Yun pitifully:
"Fourth brother...we were the closest when we were little. No matter where you went, you would take me with you. If there was anything delicious, you would save your share for me. You also promised me before that in your heart, I was your only sister. Have you forgotten?"
Her playing of the emotional card now had no appeal to Su, but instead made him feel uncomfortable.
Gu Yue pushed him to block the knife, causing him to almost die in that alley. He said that voluntary and forced are completely different concepts. The former was his wishful thinking, and even if he died, he deserved it.
But the latter can often see a person's character more clearly. Selfish people are not worthy of mentioning the past.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time. He is lucky to be able to survive, but how many lives can he have to prevent it?
So many years have passed, and Su Wan has long replaced her and become an indispensable part of his life. She is like a flower blooming towards the sun, constantly infecting him.
Blood ties are the most tender things.
"County Lady, as you said, I was ignorant before. When I was young, I didn't know the value of pearls and mistook stones for treasures. I really don't remember what happened before. Today, County Lady came to the Su Mansion to drink in my eldest brother's wedding wine. I am an honored guest. If I am not entertaining you well, please forgive me.
But this is the backyard of the Su Mansion, and there are few people here. My status is different from the county lady's, so I'll excuse myself first."
Su Yun is really sharp-tongued, probably learned it from his fifth brother, every word he says is full of gems.
Gu Yue's heart ached immensely. She thought bitterly, why is Su Wan a pearl and she is a stone?
She insisted on proving that she was the pearl and Su Wan was the stone that was inferior to her.
Seeing Su Yun running away quickly, Su Wan, who was secretly observing on the side, came out. Seeing Gu Yue standing there in a daze, she felt refreshed.
When she first returned to the Su family, her fourth brother was so dissatisfied with her. It was all thanks to Gu Yue who had flattered her in advance. With her tears and her slander, she had the fourth brother, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old and still immature, under her control and targeted her everywhere.
