Chapter 537 You'll be scared to death!
The two families then began discussing the evening's menu.
Around 4 p.m., Zhou Wansheng and his wife arrived in Beijing. After they had rested enough, the group headed to the Chu Hotel.
The hotel was bustling with activity, as most people had booked their New Year's Eve dinner there.
Chu Xiong reserved a luxurious private room for himself! It was enormous! To use an exaggerated analogy from the internet today, you could practically kick a football in the middle of the table!
Inside, there's a mahjong room, a game room, a projection movie room, a karaoke room, and even a small playground—can you believe it!
Gu Yin was truly amazed! Not to mention the rest of the Gu family!
Gu Qingming's eyes lit up when he saw the mahjong room: "The others haven't arrived yet, how about we play a few rounds?!"
Old Master Chu had already sat down to make tea, but upon hearing this, he slowly stood up again: "Ahem! I agree!"
Finally, Grandpa Chu, Zhou Wansheng, Gu Qingming, and Chu Xiong played mahjong, while the others played their own games. Gu Yin and the other children went to the game room to play games!
Gu Yin played for a while and then stopped, watching Gu Shu and Gu Hua play, occasionally glancing at her phone.
At 5:30, Gu Yin got up and found Gu Qinglang watching a movie with the old lady and the others.
"I see it's almost time. Should we go pick up Chu Yan and A Le?"
Gu Qinglang glanced at the time and nodded: "You wait here, I'll go by myself!" He then got up and put on his coat.
Gu Yin also put on her coat, hat, and scarf: "I'll go with you! We're just waiting around in the hotel anyway, let's go out and get some fresh air!"
When they went downstairs, the restaurant on the first floor was already full of people. Gu Qinglang glanced around and laughed, "So this is how people in big cities celebrate holidays. It's quite novel."
Gu Yin knew all this, and in later generations, apart from rural areas, people in county towns and urban areas almost all booked hotels in advance.
"There are advantages to being at home, and there are also conveniences to being outside."
Gu Qinglang nodded in agreement.
It was Chinese New Year, and there were few vehicles on the road. Just five minutes after the two arrived at the airport, Chu Yan and Gu Le came out.
"I hope you had a safe journey!" Gu Qinglang stepped forward to help the two with their luggage.
Chu Yan nodded: "Everything went smoothly! Uncle, you can take Ah Le's, I'll take mine myself! Let's go, get in the car, it's windy outside!"
After putting his luggage in the trunk, Gu Le was about to get into the back seat when Chu Yan pushed him forward.
Gu Le turned to look at him, saw Chu Yan blink, sighed helplessly and sat in the passenger seat.
Gu Qinglang didn't see what they were doing, but Gu Yin did.
Gu Yin glared at Chu Yan, then had no choice but to sit in the back.
Chu Yan touched his nose, smiled, and got into the car.
After the car started, Chu Yan said helplessly, "Didn't my dad say he would come to pick us up? Why did we have to trouble Uncle Gu to come again? Did he slack off?"
Although I was happy to see Gu Yin, it's so cold outside, it's much more comfortable to stay indoors!
Gu Qinglang laughed and said, "Your dad and grandpa are playing mahjong. I came over since I had nothing else to do. By the way, our two families will have New Year's Eve dinner together at your hotel. Did your dad tell you?"
Chu Yan shook her head and then nodded: "Yesterday my dad said that Aunt Zhu and the others were on holiday, so he said they would come to the hotel to eat today. But he didn't tell me that it was both families together. But when I saw you and Ayin come to pick us up, I guessed it! That's great! It's more lively with more people!"
Gu Le was also happy: "Have Grandpa and Grandma arrived yet?"
Gu Yin nodded: "I arrived around four o'clock, just waiting for the two of you to reunite!"
Upon hearing the words "reunion," Chu Yan glanced ahead, reached out and took Gu Yin's hand. Before she could react, he covered their hands with his open coat, blocking their view.
Gu Yin moved her hand slightly, but he squeezed it even tighter.
Gu Qinglang's voice rang out from the front, and Gu Yin dared not move again.
When did Ayan graduate?
Chu Yan said without any change in expression, "I will graduate at the end of this year, but I will have to stay there for about half a year as an internship. After passing the internship, I can return to China. At that time, I will be a part-time graduate student, and I only need to take the final exam."
His tone was calm, but his hands beneath his clothes were behaving inappropriately.
Gu Yin squeezed his fingertips to stop him from moving, then turned to look out the window.
When we arrived at the hotel, the parking lot was packed with cars, and it was difficult to get into the parking garage as there was a long queue.
Gu Qinglang said helplessly, "There weren't so many people when we came out just now. It seems everyone is here for New Year's Eve dinner. We'll have to wait a long time for the car to go in. You three get out and go up first. I'll wait here! Go on!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan released Gu Yin's hand and opened the car door: "Uncle, you guys go up first! I'll drive the car to my dad's private garage! I'll just take the elevator up from there!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinglang got out of the car, and Chu Yan put Gu Yin's coat and scarf on her.
After all three of them got out of the car, Chu Yan drove it away.
As they exited the elevator, Gu Yin lagged behind Gu Qinglang and Gu Le by a few steps.
Seeing that he hadn't followed, Gu Qinglang turned around and said, "Come on, keep up."
Gu Yin coughed lightly: "I want to wait for Chu Yan to come up before going in."
Gu Qinglang: "..."
Seeing this, Gu Le winked at Gu Yin, then quickly grabbed Gu Qinglang's hand and said anxiously, "I haven't seen Mom in so long, let's go inside first! Let my sister wait for Brother Yan here! Otherwise, he won't know the way! Let's go, Dad!"
Gu Qinglang thought it made sense, so he said, "Be careful." Then he led Gu Le to their room.
He completely forgot that this was the Chu family's hotel, and Chu Yan would definitely know which room they were eating in!
As Gu Le entered, she gave Gu Yin an OK sign, and they couldn't help but laugh, whispering, "She's really good to your Yan-ge!"
Gu Yin leaned against the wall not far from the elevator, so Chu Yan could see her as soon as he came out.
With a "ding," Gu Yin looked up and saw some people coming out of the elevator, but Chu Yan wasn't there. Gu Yin continued to look down at her shoes.
"Hey beautiful! Where are you waiting for someone?" A greasy voice rang out from ahead.
Gu Yin looked up.
The men standing in front of Gu Yin were immediately stunned by her beauty!
Gu Yin looked at the men who were all old enough to be her father and said expressionlessly, "You're blocking my view."
The man who was speaking frowned, and was about to speak when his friend pulled him back: "Alright, alright, it's the New Year, don't cause trouble! Let's go! Everyone's getting impatient!" With that, he dragged the man away.
After the person left, Gu Yin continued to wait for them with her head down.
The people who had just left went into the room.
"Hey Lao Li, what are you doing? What's wrong with me just saying hello to a young lady?"
Old Li said helplessly, "If it were a girl from an ordinary family, what do you think her reaction would be if we were a bunch of grown men being questioned?"
Someone remarked, "If it were an ordinary child, they would definitely be nervous, anxious, and scared, and would run away before you could even say anything!"
Old Li nodded: "That girl just now, her eyes were full of indifference, and her whole demeanor was something that couldn't be raised in an ordinary family. You'd better not mess with someone powerful! They say that if you lay a brick in Beijing, eight out of ten people will have connections! We're here for fun, we don't want to be unable to get back!"
The man felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this and hurriedly nodded: "You're right! Thank goodness you stopped me in time, Lao Li! But I wasn't planning anything! I was just a bit of a smart aleck! You guys should remind me to make sure I don't offend the wrong people!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, Chu Yan finally came up!
Seeing Gu Yin waiting there, Chu Yan's heart softened, and he hurriedly stepped forward: "Why aren't you going in? Why are you standing here?"
Gu Yin smiled and looked at him: "I'll wait for you to come."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yan's lips curled up, his eyes filled with laughter. He reached out and adjusted her hat, saying gently, "I'm very happy."
Gu Yin reached out and grabbed his clothes, tugging at them. "Let's go." She then walked towards the room.
As Gu Yin passed by the door of the people she had just met, the door opened from the inside. She glanced inside and saw that the man who had just struck up a conversation with her immediately changed his expression and quickly closed the door when he saw her outside!
Gu Yin smirked, "Hehe, I'll scare you to death!"
Chu Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "It's nothing."
The people inside, seeing that he didn't leave, asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were going to the bathroom?"
The man shook his head quickly: "I'm not in a hurry anymore! Even if I am, I have to hold it in! That's terrifying!"
