Xie Yan almost laughed when he heard this. Isn't this kind of treatment usually reserved for the female lead?
How did I end up here?
Gu Bin was speechless when he saw that this person didn't take his words to heart. "Don't underestimate men, especially men from good backgrounds."
Xie Yan quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. It's mainly your wife. You'll have to be extra careful and take good care of her."
Gu Bin waved his hand dismissively, patted his chest, and said confidently, "Don't worry about that. Of course, I'll protect my wife. I definitely won't let her suffer any grievances."
Seeing this, Xie Yan nodded with relief, "Okay! That's good."
In the afternoon, the group arrived at the restaurant.
As soon as the door to the private room was opened, a strong, pungent smell of smoke hit you, making it almost impossible to breathe.
The private room was already quite full; it seemed they were the last to arrive.
The room was filled with grown men, puffing out smoke, creating a hazy atmosphere as if they were surrounded by clouds.
Tongtong, the little one, has an exceptionally sensitive nose. As soon as she smelled the pungent odor, she immediately frowned, clung tightly to Gu Bin's neck, and refused to go in, pulling her little body straight out.
Hearing the noise, the people inside turned around and saw the child in Gu Bin's arms, their faces immediately showing embarrassment.
One of them quickly stood up, stubbed out his cigarette, and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, brother, I really didn't expect you to bring your precious daughter along."
"Hey you over there, quickly open the windows to let in some fresh air."
After saying that, the group rushed to the window in a flurry and hurriedly opened it. A gust of wind rushed in, swirling around the room, trying to dispel the heavy smell of smoke.
However, the smell of smoke seemed to refuse to leave, stubbornly lingering in the air.
After a while, the pungent smell finally began to fade away.
Gu Bin's expression turned noticeably ugly, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, his heart filled with displeasure.
When he was involved in it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the smell of smoke.
But now that he has a wife and children, his mindset is completely different.
Although he hadn't specifically mentioned bringing the child, he had clearly stated that he would bring his wife. Moreover, there were women in the house, yet these men were still smoking without any restraint; it was incredibly inappropriate.
Thinking about this, Gu Bin felt as if a heavy stone was lodged in his heart, causing him great distress.
Zhang Cehan noticed the atmosphere was a bit awkward and quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying with a smile, "Gu Bin, it's been so long, aren't you going to introduce your new friends?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Xie Yan.
Gu Bin took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said calmly, "This is Xie Yan, a friend I met when I went to the countryside. We came back together to visit relatives."
Xie Yan smiled, intending to simply nod and be done with it, but Zhang Cehan enthusiastically came over to shake hands with Xie Yan.
This caused a stir, with others following suit, one after another trying to shake hands with Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was already somewhat socially anxious, and faced with this sudden enthusiasm, she immediately felt uncomfortable, as if her social anxiety was about to flare up.
After finally managing to say hello, his mind went blank, and he had no idea what to say. His smile even became a little stiff.
Fortunately, Gu Bin spoke up in time and began to introduce Zhang Linghui, which was like saving his life.
But as soon as Gu Bin finished introducing Zhang Linghui, one of the three women sitting opposite him, named Chen Feier, immediately frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't we agree on a brotherly gathering?"
"Why are you bringing a woman along?"
These words drifted into Xie Yan's mind, triggering the "hidden DNA" within him that couldn't stand injustice.
Seeing Zhang Linghui's somewhat unpleasant expression after hearing these words, and recalling his wife's words before she left—that he should help Zhang Linghui if he had the chance, so that she wouldn't be bullied—he thought to himself.
Looking at Chen Feier, who was acting all high and mighty like a peacock, he suddenly became unhappy. However, he still had a smile on his face and pretended to be curious as he looked at Chen Feier, who had just spoken, "Wow! I didn't expect you to be a transgender person!"
He deliberately dragged out his words, his eyes full of mockery, "Where was the surgery done? How was it so successful? I can't even tell?"
“That…” He paused deliberately, swallowing the word “national” that almost slipped out, and continued, “The hospital that did it was so successful that it can be used as a benchmark.”
Chen Feier's face flushed bright red instantly, and she trembled with anger. She glared at Xie Yan with a look that seemed to want to devour him alive.
Gu Bin was taken aback at first, then a slight smile appeared on his lips, he was very happy, thank you for the good banquet!
Who does Chen Feier think she is?!
He's still here, and he dares to do this to his wife.
But Xie Yan isn't really part of their circle, so it's not good to offend them, but it's easy for him to offend them!
So he deliberately laughed very loudly, the laughter echoing in the private room. After he finished laughing, he said to Chen Feier in a sarcastic tone, "Feier! When did you become a man? I didn't know that."
"Now that I'm a man, I should dress more like a man when I go out, otherwise people might misunderstand!"
The two of them, working in unison, infuriated Chen Feier.
She had never been treated like this before.
She was the darling of the group, and because of her young age, everyone spoiled her, so she acted without fear.
She was so embarrassed by Gu Bin's lack of respect that she burst into tears.
At that moment, her eyes instantly reddened, and large tears welled up in her eyes. She burst into tears, crying loudly, "Brother Gu Bin, you bullied me! Waaaaaah~" Her cries were sharp and aggrieved, and they were particularly jarring in the private room.
Xie Yan was startled by the sudden outburst of crying, “!!!!”
Chen Feier's voice was so loud that it startled Tongtong. The little one was already a bit timid and clingy because she was in an unfamiliar place, and this frightened her even more, causing her to pout, her eyes to redden, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Zhang Linghui quickly took the child from Gu Bin's arms, gently coaxing and comforting him, "Baby, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Seeing this, Gu Bin no longer cared about Chen Feier, who was still crying, and loudly interrupted her sobbing, "Shut up, you're scaring my daughter!"
Why are you making such a loud noise?
"You're not a three-year-old!"
Chen Feier was genuinely upset and cried this time. She was no longer the pitiful, tearful girl she had been pretending to be. Instead, she sobbed uncontrollably, completely disregarding her image.
