Jade Pixiu: "What's that saying again? It's far away yet right before your eyes."
Jade Abacus: "...Didn't you say that before?"
Jade Pixiu: "Can't you let me use my divine calculation abilities one more time?"
Jade Abacus: "...If we're being serious, this tomorrow should be happening to me."
Jade Pixiu: "...I can do that too, okay?"
The two ornaments started arguing again.
There's nothing we can do about it.
However, Lan Yao had long since become accustomed to it.
Lan Yao ignored the quarreling ornaments in her mind and instead looked at Lan Jiaojiao.
Lan Jiaojiao felt her scalp tingle under Lan Yao's gaze, and for a moment, she didn't know why, but all she wanted to do was find a place to hide.
Lan Jiaojiao regretted it.
If she had known Lan Yao would still be as fierce as before, she wouldn't have come.
Gu Zixiao had been watching his wife closely, so he knew she was looking at Lan Jiaojiao. He couldn't help but lean close to Lan Jiaojiao's ear and ask, "Do you know her?"
Lan Yao snapped out of her daze, grunted in response, and said to Gu Zixiao, "It's more than just knowing each other. Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Since the two of them got together, Lan Yao has told Gu Zixiao everything she could.
Of course, she couldn't say it; she didn't utter a single word.
Gu Zixiao was quick-witted and immediately realized what was going on. His eyes changed slightly, becoming somewhat cold: "You mean, she's the other girl who was mistakenly reported?"
Lan Yao hummed in agreement: "Yes. So, don't you think it's a coincidence?"
Gu Zixiao said coldly, "...Heh, what a coincidence."
Gu Zixiao knew that Lan Yao's biological parents didn't like her at all.
Just look at what happened when Lan Yao went to Shenzhen. Her mother ignored her, and then her mother, out of love turned to hatred, started hiring people to take revenge on Lan Yao.
What happened next was quite simple: those people were retaliated against, and Lan Yao's mother was also implicated and sent directly to a farm in the Northwest for reform through labor.
You have to understand, she's the daughter of a capitalist.
However, after Lan Yao was found and brought back, didn't Lan Yao's parents hear the news and run away with Lan Jiaojiao?
Why is Lan Jiaojiao here of all times?
Gu Zixiao looked at Gu Nan and said, "She is your wife."
Gu Nan didn't know why Gu Zixiao asked that, but he still subconsciously hugged his wife tighter and nodded: "Yes. She's my wife, so what?"
Gu Zixiao said "Oh": "I remember you were in Shenzhen before. How did you and your wife meet?"
For some reason, upon hearing this, Gu Nan instinctively frowned, feeling displeased. "How the two of us met is none of your business."
Gu Zixiao: "Since you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'll talk to you after my wedding. Speaking of which, it's been many years since we brothers last saw each other. We really should strengthen our relationship."
My wife is clearly paying too much attention to Gu Nan's wife. This won't do, absolutely not.
Therefore, when Gu Zixiao looked at Gu Nan, it was as if a tiger had spotted its prey, and Gu Nan instinctively felt afraid.
Oh my god!
What's going on with Gu Zixiao?
He had always found Gu Zixiao intimidating, but as someone of his own kind, his pride prevented him from making such comparisons, so he subconsciously avoided this real-world issue.
But now...
He suddenly realized how terrifying Gu Zixiao was.
Lan Yao: "...Let's go greet the others first. We'll talk about this later."
There are still a few tables where we need to offer toasts.
We'll talk about what happens next later.
During this time, after Gu Zixiao actually met her, Aunt Gu didn't dare to utter a sound. Mainly, she suddenly realized that Gu Zixiao's emotional changes over a period of time were quite significant, which was frightening.
Faced with this situation, even if she were usually arrogant, she wouldn't dare to do it.
So, Aunt Gu backed down.
Lan Yao and Gu Zixiao ignored her and simply spoke to the others at the table, offered their toasts, and then moved on to the next table.
Only after the last few tables were finished did the couple return to the table reserved just for them to eat.
This table is full of people that Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao are both very familiar with.
Everyone had been busy for a long time, so they sat down and started eating.
They had been craving the food on the table for a long time, and they were also curious as to why the people at the table were eating without even looking up.
Once they actually put the food in their mouths, they had only one thought: 'Holy crap, how can this food be so delicious? My god, no wonder those guys were eating without even looking up, it really... feels like such a rip-off.'
So, they started scrambling for vegetables.
Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao actually felt it was fine, mainly because they ate there often.
Therefore, they didn't find it as amazing as the rest of the group.
Even so, he used his chopsticks like a whirlwind, grabbing a lot of the food he and Lan Yao liked, and then stopped participating in the food-grabbing battle.
He whispered to Lan Yao, "If you haven't eaten enough, I'll cook you a special meal tonight."
Wang Zhenfeng, who was sitting next to him, scoffed, "Boss, I heard what you said."
Gu Zixiao: "So what if you heard it? Why would you want to come all this way on my big day?"
Wang Zhenfeng stared at Gu Zixiao's sinister eyes and mustered his courage: "I... we can still have a wedding night prank."
Lei Shengrong: "...Wang Zhenfeng, you're still pretty smart."
They actually dared to come up with this idea.
You should know that Gu Zixiao's wedding night is not something that can be easily disrupted.
Of course, when their comrade got married before, Gu Zixiao didn't agree with the wedding night pranks and naturally didn't participate; he just left.
Therefore, they naturally couldn't cause trouble in Gu Zixiao's bridal chamber.
The others didn't participate in the conversation; they were busy enjoying their delicious meal.
Wang Zhenfeng: "...Of course my brain works. Otherwise..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Sangyan shoved a mouthful of braised pork into his mouth: "Even eating can't shut you up."
Wang Zhenfeng: ...
Okay, okay. He won't say anything more, is that alright?
So, everyone stopped talking nonsense.
Seeing this, Gu Zixiao stopped paying attention to them and asked Lan Yao, "Is that the person who stole your identity?"
Lan Yao: "Yes. She was switched at birth. It wasn't her fault. It was my mother's best friend who did it on purpose."
Gu Zixiao: "Where's your mom's best friend?"
Lan Yao: "She was probably suffering on that farm. She was so devastated at the time that she told everyone about it."
And that's how everyone learned the truth.
When Gu Zixiao heard Lan Yao say such words so calmly, he felt a pang of heartache for some reason.
