Lu Zhicheng has a lot of little movements, and even the contempt in his eyes is very uncomfortable.
Gu Jinchen is used to seeing such small people in the business world. Even at his position, he no longer sees small people of this level.
Now he had to watch the little guy being complacent, and he looked a little bored and indifferent.
"Please sit down. Qing Huan has prepared a table full of dishes."
Lu Zhicheng exclaimed, "Sister-in-law cooked for us herself? Why don't we eat out? I thought today was a gathering of elders, and such an important day would have a big feast outside."
Qing Huan touched his nose and said, "It's too troublesome to set up a banquet outside. After thinking about it, I think it's better to sit at a table at home and get together with everyone. It's more free this way. After all, we are all family."
Lu Zhicheng came forward to take a look at the food and asked, "Isn't this a bit too shabby?"
As soon as he said the word "shabby", Pei Anan felt that the expressions on the faces of the elders sitting there were not very good.
She immediately poked Lu Zhicheng.
"Zhicheng, what are you talking about? My sister's cooking skills have always been the best. Stop talking and sit down quickly so that we can eat together."
Pei Qinghuan gritted his teeth secretly. If he had known this earlier, he would not have invited Lu Zhicheng today.
This brother-in-law is really bad at talking.
Lu Zhicheng had just sat down when Pei's father and mother came.
The two of them were in a hurry. Dad Pei even put on a high-end suit that someone gave him decades ago, and Mom Pei also dressed up carefully.
The two were in high spirits. As soon as Pei Ma saw Pei Qinghuan, she immediately called them over.
She lowered her head and whispered in Pei Qinghuan's ear, "Which one is your husband?"
Pei Qinghuan coughed and glanced at Gu Jinchen.
Gu Jinchen was still very confident when facing Pei's parents. The corners of his lips slightly raised, revealing a smile as warm as spring breeze.
He thought that his manners were impeccable.
Unexpectedly, Mother Pei glanced at him and then raised her head, "Our daughters in the Pei family have always married high-ranking officials. There's no reason for anyone to marry off casually before. If it weren't for this damn girl marrying off so casually, we would still have to choose more."
Pei Qinghuan was a little embarrassed, and she tugged at Pei Ma's sleeve.
"Mom, come in and eat, why are you talking about this?"
Mother Pei tucked her collar and said, "Mom is worried about you and wants to support you. What do you know, little girl?"
"You, since you've married our Qing Huan, you must treat her well in the future. If you dare to bully her, our entire Pei family will not forgive you."
Pei Qinghuan touched his nose.
This was the first time Gu Jinchen was scolded like this. He could only lower his head and reluctantly agree, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I won't bully Qing Huan."
Mother Pei nodded and took another closer look at her son-in-law.
I couldn't help but pull Pei Qinghuan aside and whisper to him.
"You silly girl, your husband doesn't look good. He looks too much like a gigolo, the kind you see in TV dramas. Men like that are too handsome and useless."
Pei Qinghuan's face froze, and the tips of his ears turned very red.
She coughed several times, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
"I say, your husband is not just a pretty face, right? Have you tried being with him? Is it okay? I heard that especially pretty boys like this are not that great in reality."
Pei Qinghuan blushed for no reason, "My in-laws are all at the table, what are you talking about, Mom?"
Pei's mother then pinched Pei Qinghuan and said, "You silly girl, I'm doing this for your happiness. There's nothing to be shy about."
Pei's father was very satisfied, and he smiled frankly.
"This son-in-law is good-looking and looks a lot like me when I was young."
Mother Pei glared at him.
"You're just flattering yourself. You're not as handsome as that young man. Stop talking nonsense. That young man is much more handsome than you."
Lu Zhicheng, who was originally on the ground, was a little unhappy.
Before, Pei's father and mother had never praised him for his handsomeness. They only said that he was steady, mature, and successful in his career.
It was all words like this. He picked up the cup, drank the tea and coughed.
Mother Pei immediately looked at him and said, "Oh, Zhicheng is here too. I admire you as my son-in-law the most."
Both Mr. and Mrs. Gu were present, and the first person Pei Ma greeted was Lu Zhicheng.
This was somewhat impolite. Pei Qinghuan poked Pei's mother and said, "Mom, let me introduce you. This is my mother-in-law, my father-in-law, and then here's Grandpa Gu..."
Only then did Pei Ma turn around and look at them with a smile.
"Hello, in-laws."
Gu's father and mother nodded, and Grandpa Gu was very enthusiastic. "Our family has a good daughter-in-law, and this is all thanks to the elders of the Pei family."
Mother Pei smiled and said, "As she should. My daughter is excellent in every way. It is a blessing for your son to marry into your Gu family."
Although Mother Gu was also satisfied with Pei Qinghuan, she did not say so. She frowned and curled the corners of her lips.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
Pei Qinghuan wanted to use a chopstick to cover his mother's mouth.
Mother Pei glanced at her daughter and thought that Pei Qinghuan was still too young and didn't know how to judge people.
She hadn't made any comparison before, but when she looked at it carefully today, she felt that she, the eldest daughter, had poor taste in choosing a son-in-law.
Gu Jinchen sat there. Although he looked good, what was the use of being good-looking in today's society?
People are practical. Money is necessary for success. Without money, it is absolutely impossible. Especially when Lu Zhicheng was sitting on the side and comparing, one son-in-law was wearing a big gold watch that blinded people, while the other son-in-law had nothing on his wrist.
There was some calculation in Pei Ma's eyes.
She picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and handed it to Gu Jinchen, saying meaningfully, "Where is my son-in-law doing well now?"
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became different.
On the one hand, there were Gu's parents. They lowered their heads and picked up their chopsticks, thinking in their hearts that Gu Jinchen had already told them about the huge family business, but Pei Qinghuan was not aware of it. They just didn't know where that brat told Pei Qinghuan that he worked.
But Gu Cheng tried to hold back his laughter. His own cousin was talking about a bricklayer at a construction site. How could he say that out loud?
Gu Jinchen lowered his head and was thinking about how to get away with it tactfully.
Grandpa Gu's expression was hard to describe. It couldn't be his turn to explain before his own grandson did.
Pei Qinghuan's face was also a little embarrassed. She tugged at Pei Ma's sleeve, signaling her not to ask too many questions.
When Lu Zhicheng saw the atmosphere at the table, he smiled even more contemptuously. It seemed that this uncle's job must not be very good. Look, he was even embarrassed to say it out loud.
Finally, Gu Cheng couldn't help himself. He looked up and smiled, "My cousin works in the construction industry, the construction industry."
After saying that, she didn't forget to wink at Gu Jinchen. She thought her cousin was quite nice and said it very tactfully.
