Chapter 784: Returning
"Sister-in-law, it's about time to stop. If you keep hitting her, we'll hear noises coming from inside!" Gu Yin shouted to You Niannian.
Upon hearing this, You Niannian pulled her cheongsam up to her thigh, and with a forceful turn, she kicked her father against the wall.
Looking at the disheveled and sweating man before her, You Niannian felt a pang of sorrow: "My father was a truly upright man, a good man who served his country and its people, and loved his wife and protected his daughter. You, however, are not worthy of him! Besides, you're old now, so don't try anything funny, or don't blame me for my last act of filial piety! Go!"
Mr. You was panting heavily. He was getting old, and he couldn't even beat his own daughter! Even his anger subsided when he realized he was no match for her.
“I didn’t do anything underhanded. People in the compound said there was a banquet at the Gu family’s house tonight, which you hosted. They asked me why I didn’t go. Quite a few people came, even your boss. But I, as your father, didn’t show up. I think even if you’re unhappy, I shouldn’t have been absent! You didn’t do this fairly, did you?”
Before You Niannian could speak, Gu Yin, not wanting her to be misunderstood, explained: "This banquet is hosted by my family. The guests are mainly my colleagues and business partners, as well as some people who can't make it tomorrow, and some of my elder brother's superiors and colleagues. These people also can't be at the wedding, so there was no need to invite you in the first place. But it's not impossible to invite you, it's just a pity that what your family did to my sister-in-law has disgusted our family to the extreme. She was just a child at the time, and you couldn't even tolerate her. Your vision is only as small as a fingernail. Our family is biased, so it's better not to see some troublesome people. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Mr. You had calmed down. He didn't look at Gu Yin, but continued to look at You Niannian: "If you keep acting like this, no one will help you if you are bullied in the future. If you come back to me then, I will feel uncomfortable. Just like you, everyone has a temper. If you can't get through this door today, then you will have no family or support in the future. Are you sure?"
You Niannian smoothed her skirt and sneered, "Backer? What backer? You? Or that petty woman? That's laughable! I've never thought anyone else could be my backer! Backers can crumble, only the country! And the military merits I've earned through hard work, the knowledge I've desperately studied! That's my backer! As for whether I have a family? Ha, do I? You can leave now. Tomorrow's banquet, you can come if you want, or you can not, it will still go ahead. That's it, you'd better watch yourself."
After speaking, You Niannian walked up to Gu Yin and said with a smile, "Let's go in."
Gu Yin nodded, and the two turned and left.
After the two went inside, the door closed again.
Mrs. You immediately stepped forward to support Mr. You: "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?! That brat is outrageous! She actually dared to hit her father! She doesn't respect you at all! I'll talk to her superiors about this! Is this how the army trains people? I..."
"Enough! Stop talking! Let's go home!" Father You shook off Mrs. You's hand, dusted himself off, and strode away!
The wedding was held the following day at a hotel owned by the Chu Group. There was a professional team there, so the Gu family didn't need to help at all; they just had to entertain the guests.
Gu Yue was relaxed and chatted with Gu Hua and the others while sitting in their seats.
"I don't know if A-Le and Grandma Wang will make it in time. Grandpa Zhou is still stuck in Dabai Mountain and can't get out. Brother Chu is also abroad. I hope they can all make it!" Gu Hua said, resting her chin on her hand and looking at the guests coming and going.
Gu Yin straightened her velvet floral dress and said with a smile, "I should be able to make it, it's on time."
Gu Le has a competition these two days, and Wang Yanzhi is going with him. Their plane ticket is this morning, and they said they can make it, but it's uncertain if they will. Chu Yan has an important meeting for his company overseas that requires him to go in person. He has been there for a few days and his flight is also this morning. Zhou Wansheng can't get out. He could have gotten out, but the case that Lan Yan was in charge of involved Dabai Mountain, which is currently under martial law, so he can't get out. Therefore, Zhou Wansheng can't attend the wedding.
As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, the family of three walked in through the gate.
"No, after what happened yesterday! How dare they come here?" Gu Hua asked in astonishment, looking at the smiling family of three at the door.
Gu Yin looked over and shook her head: "If the benefits of coming here are greater than those of not coming here, then I think they wouldn't give up if they weren't stupid. But they are indeed a bit shameless."
The three people who entered through the door were Mr. and Mrs. You, and You Niannian. After the banquet last night, You Niannian told Gu Hua about what happened at the door, so Gu Hua also knew about it.
“My sister-in-law saw them. She and my brother went over. Should we go and see them?” Gu Hua asked immediately as You Niannian and Lan Yan went to greet them.
Gu Yin shook her head: "There are many people here, so it won't cause any trouble. Don't worry, everyone knows their limits and won't lose face."
At the entrance, You Niannian looked at the three people in front of her without any change in expression: "Welcome. Would you like to wander around on your own, or should I take you to your seats and wait for the wedding to begin?"
Mr. You looked embarrassed, but forced a smile and said, "Let's go sit down first, otherwise it will be chaotic if we can't find our seats when it starts. Just have someone take us there. You go about your business. There are so many guests, no need to take us there."
Mrs. You, standing beside her, nodded with a smile: "Yes, yes, we can go sightseeing after the ceremony. If you have time then, you can show us around. We won't keep you and your son-in-law waiting!"
Wearing an exquisite black suit, Lan Yan was calm and dignified. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, then if you need anything, just call the people in uniform here."
After speaking, he waved to the staff, who then led them to their designated seats.
The You family's residence was located right next to the Gu family's. After the three of them arrived, Gu Yin and Gu Hua nodded to each other as a greeting.
Seeing that Gu Yin was also there, Father You felt awkward again. He sat down and started drinking tea to cover up his discomfort.
Gu Yin didn't talk to the other person; she just sat quietly and played on her phone.
Madam You seemed a little restless, as if she had forgotten what happened yesterday. She smiled and looked at Gu Yin: "There are so many people today, Miss Gu. Could you introduce us? We don't know any of them and are afraid of calling the wrong person when we walk around, making a fool of ourselves in front of others! Niannian is her sister-in-law, don't you think?"
Gu Yin put away her phone, stood up, and looked at the other person: "As long as you sit quietly, no one will laugh at you. If you want to meet people, have a staff member take you. I have something to attend to here." After saying that, she nodded and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Gu Hua followed.
After the two left, Madam You pursed her lips and said, "That's so rude. No matter what, we are the bride's family. How can we just ignore them like that?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. You glanced at her and said, "Just calm down. If you want to sit, sit. If you don't want to sit, go wander around!"
Seeing this, Madam You fell silent, but You Niannian stood up and said, "I'm going to my brother's restroom. Mom and Dad, please sit down."
After saying that, he left his seat.
Gu Yin hadn't even reached the door when she saw the person she wanted to see.
He quickly walked up to her: "Didn't you say you just got off the plane?"
"Be careful, those are such high heels!" Lan Yan quickly helped her up. Gu Yin was wearing a long velvet dress with a tulip-shaped hem, which made it easy for her to step on it.
"It's okay, I'm being careful!" Gu Yin smiled and shook her head.
"I wanted to give you a surprise. Have you missed me?" Chu Yan said, nodding to Gu Hua beside him as he led his people inside.
Gu Hua greeted him, "Brother Yan."
"Hey brat, you just took my granddaughter away like that? You won't even let your grandma see her?" A kind voice, tinged with displeasure, rang out from behind.
Gu Yin turned around, immediately smiled, put Chu Yan down, and quickly took two steps to hug him: "Grandma! You're back! Were you together? I missed you so much. Where's A-Le? Is he back yet?"
Wang Yanzhi hugged Gu Yin and said with a smile, "We missed you too! A-Le is at the door, your dad made him stay there to entertain guests! A-Yan could have come back yesterday, but he went to our place to wait for us, so he was a little late. He changed his dress and did his makeup in the car, thankfully he wasn't late! How do I look?"
Gu Yin carefully examined the other person: "The makeup is fine, but your eyes look a little tired. Let's sit down and rest for a while."
Wang Yanzhi nodded, then reached out and hugged Gu Hua beside her: "Our A-Hua looks great too! This fishtail dress suits you perfectly! And with that high ponytail, you have such a strong presence! Beautiful!"
Gu Hua smiled and nodded: "I think so too! Especially with this eye makeup, I feel like a supermodel walking the runway! It's so powerful!"
Wang Yanzhi nodded: "I thought of that when I was designing it for you! Let's go, let's go inside first."
As they walked, she chuckled, "Your brother flew to several countries for the competition, so he's a little tired, but it's alright. How about the dress? I think it looks great. You're especially suited to this kind of silk velvet—mysterious, noble, and beautiful! You have the presence to pull it off. Some younger people don't look good in it; it makes them look old! Ah Yan's velvet suit is also beautiful! Everyone in our family is a clothes hanger! I love making clothes for you all!"
Gu Yin glanced at Chu Yan beside her. He wore a velvet suit with diagonal buttons, and white silk ruffles were trimmed at the collar, echoing the hem of Gu Yin's skirt. His long legs, encased in black trousers, made him look like a vampire prince from a novel when he moved around in his coat—mysterious, noble, and unapproachable!
Gu Yin nodded: "It really looks great, I like it very much too, Grandma's design is really good! Beautiful! By the way, it's a bit hot inside, you can take off your coats." After saying that, she waved, and a staff member came over and took the coats to hang up.
When Gu Yin led Wang Yanzhi and Chu Yan to the location, the You family members were no longer there, and no one knew where they had gone. Gu Yin didn't care; even if they wanted to cause trouble, they couldn't do much.
