Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Three Generations Return to the Clan
As the temperature gradually dropped, it got dark much earlier. When I walked to the school gate, even the outlines of the buildings were not clear in the dim light.
"Are you going to the banquet tonight?" asked the squad leader.
The car that was responsible for picking him up had already stopped at the door. Gu Yang opened the door and said, "No."
"Still so straightforward." The squad leader looked at him helplessly, "I guess you even forgot what happened tonight."
"I don't want to go anyway."
"Go, go, go." Yu Bai suddenly jumped out from somewhere and hugged Gu Yang's arm that was resting on the car door. "Why don't you go? We are here to welcome new classmates. You are too cold."
“…Who will you pick up?”
"Do you still remember that the Lu family is going to hold a welcoming banquet for the twin brother who was just brought back? It will be held today at my family's hotel." Ying Jiayi also came out to take over the conversation.
Gu Yang's focus was off: "Put it in your house again? Your dad is quite enthusiastic."
Ying Jiayi choked. Although she knew that this sentence had no other meaning, it did not prevent her from feeling that Gu Yang's words were truly lethal.
The key point cannot be refuted. Ever since her father took over the Ying family's business, for some reason, this kind of work of rushing to arrange things for others has inexplicably increased.
To be honest, she thinks this is quite cheap...
"Yes, that's how it is." Ying Jiayi gave up and held up Gu Yang's other arm. "So can you give me some face, Master?"
The left-right posture was like escorting a prisoner. Gu Yang seriously suspected that even if he shook his head, he would be forcibly carried over by these two guys: "...Okay."
He made eye contact with the driver, then threw his schoolbag in and closed the door.
Yu Bai and Ying Jiayi looked at each other and revealed expressions that they had understood the plan.
A banquet like this where celebrities gather together must be like a grand melon field, so of course they have to bring Gu Yang along to have a good meal.
The place they were going was very close to the school, so they just walked there and chatted on the way.
"Speaking of which, what is the situation with the twins of the Lu family? If it weren't for this welcoming banquet, I wouldn't have known that Lu Ran had a younger brother." Yu Bai was quite curious.
"I don't know either. He suddenly appeared." Ying Jiayi pulled the corner of her mouth, "They said that he had a poor health since childhood, so he was raised in the countryside and was brought back now."
"You're not in good health and you want to stay in the countryside?" Yu Bai couldn't hold it in. "Are you serious? It's not even convenient to get medical treatment."
"How is that possible? Anyway, I don't believe it." Ying Jiayi sneered, "Even if it's true, it wouldn't be that they haven't mentioned it in all these years. I've never heard that the Lu family gave birth to twins."
"Then this person tonight is..." Yu Bai showed an expression that everyone knew, "It's that..."
"Alright." The monitor interrupted their conversation in a gentle voice, "We will all be classmates in the future, so don't make assumptions before we even meet."
Only Gu Yang remained silent. His expression was listless and he looked listless, completely different from the enthusiasm he had when we talked at noon.
But no one found it strange.
Because of the family's business dealings, they are actually considered to be part of a social circle and have become accustomed to Gu Yang's daily ups and downs in emotions. It should be said that this is his normal state.
When they reached the door, Gu Yang seemed to remember something and let out a soft cry.
"What's wrong?" Ying Jiayi asked.
"Would it be bad if I went in empty-handed?"
"..." Ying Jiayi pursed her lips speechlessly. This person's emotional intelligence was really inconsistent. "It's okay. I'm not prepared."
It seems that the newly recruited young master of the Lu family is quite unpopular.
After saying that, she pushed open the door.
Many people had already arrived at the banquet. Ying Jiayi directly pulled Gu Yang, who was still struggling with the gift issue, inside.
"Jiayi, you're here." After seeing who was coming in, Ying's mother came over and greeted them gently, "Are you here together after school?"
"Hello, Aunt Ying." Yu Bai's face was full of smiles, and his little fangs were exposed when he smiled.
The monitor also nodded politely and greeted him, and calmly pulled the daydreaming Gu Yang back to his senses.
Gu Yang's eyes fell on the jade necklace that was wrapped around the other person's neck twice: "Auntie's necklace has a very good water head."
The woman in front of him was well-maintained, with black hair tied up behind her head, and a beautiful and gentle temperament.
"Really? Jiayi's father bought it for me." Ying's mother covered her mouth and chuckled, "I don't really understand these things, but now that you said so, it should be true."
"My mother has no interest in jewelry, but my father insisted on buying her some. Saying whether she likes it or not is one thing, but his feelings are another." Ying Jiayi continued. In this circle where chaotic private lives have become the norm, her parents' harmonious and happy marriage life can be regarded as a good story.
But she immediately changed the subject: "Has the new one from the Lu family arrived?"
"Not yet. Logically, she should be here. Is the traffic too congested?" Ying's mother shook her head. She noticed that there was a lady next to her holding a wine glass. She must be waiting for her, and her expression seemed a little embarrassed.
"By the way, Jiayi, your dad has something to talk to you about. He's over there." Ying's mother pointed in a direction and said to Gu Yang and the others, "Then you kids have fun. There are snacks on the table anyway. If you want something to eat, tell the waiter and ask the kitchen to make it."
After saying that, she went about her own business.
"Looking for me now? What's so urgent that you can't wait until home to talk about it?" Ying Jiayi complained. She hadn't even had time to eat a bite of the melon, but she had no choice but to hurry over.
As soon as she left, someone came up with a glass of wine. The squad leader took a glass of orange juice from the waiter's tray, patted Gu Yang on the shoulder, and then led the person who was obviously coming for him aside.
Banquets of this nature are basically just a bunch of people coming and going to pay lip service to each other, so Gu Yang has never liked attending them.
Because once he participates, someone will inevitably come to him for awkward chats.
The next second, Gu Yang looked into Shen Mingjun's eyes with an expressionless face.
Shen Mingjun obviously didn't want to meet him, but he was forced by his parents and had no choice but to smile stiffly, looking resistant.
Gu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just perfunctorily responded to a few words from Shen's father. It was just the same old greetings from elders. He had summed up a set of templates that could load the voice package when he was free.
His eyes fell on Madam Shen, who was smiling dignifiedly.
[Is this the mistress that Chen Shan abandoned his original wife to cheat on his wife? 】
[I think her name is Zhou Yinyin.] 】
Shen Mingjun's face suddenly changed, and there were several undisguised sneers coming from all around.
Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a look of anger from Shen Shan.
Until he left here, his heart was still beating violently. Chen Shan, who had no idea what was going on, looked unhappy: "Do you have any grudge against that kid from the Gu family?"
"No, nothing." Shen Mingjun swallowed and pretended nothing happened.
"Really? But you looked so bad just now that you almost slapped him in the face. Do you think others are blind?" Chen Shan said sternly, "I don't care what happened between you two, just hurry up and coax him back to his right place."
"Dad!" Shen Mingjun was anxious, "Why do you have to please him? Gu Yang is nothing. Didn't you also say that it's not his turn to inherit the Gu Group?"
"So what? He is the eldest son of the Gu family. If I hadn't tried so hard to get you in, you would never be able to reach him in your life." Shen Shan sneered and said to himself sarcastically, "Humph, even I can't get a good face..."
"Anyway, I don't care what method you use. If you have time to please that girl from the Zheng family, you might as well use your energy in the right place. The Zheng family is not qualified to be our springboard. I don't want to have chosen the wrong person in the first place."
Hearing his little thoughts being ruthlessly exposed by his father, Shen Mingjun almost bit his teeth, but he didn't dare to refute.
After Shen Shan left, his mother put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart. Your father always talks like this."
The woman looked at the receding figure and said faintly, "It was like this when I was young, and it's even worse when I get older."
"You know all this, why do you choose to live with this kind of person?" Shen Mingjun said angrily.
"Do I have a better choice?" Zhou Yinyin asked back. She was pretty and well-maintained, and you couldn't tell from her appearance that she was a high school student. The way she questioned gave people a pitiful feeling.
"Besides, this is not only my choice, but also yours."
But when he heard this, Shen Mingjun's face instantly darkened.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Yinyin quickly softened her attitude and changed the subject: "Okay, you don't have to rush to reconcile with the young master of the Gu family today. There is no rush for this."
"Azhou is here today too. You cousins haven't seen each other for a long time. He has good grades. You can ask him more about the things you can't learn normally."
Grades, grades. What’s the use of having good grades? He still has to smile at Gu Yang.
Shen Mingjun pursed his lips and said nothing. He cast a resentful expression towards Gu Yang not far away, like a dormant poisonous snake.
"What's wrong?" Yu Bai asked.
"I suddenly feel a little cold. Is there a draft in this hall?" Gu Yang muttered.
"There's a cold front recently and the temperature is going to drop significantly. It will be even colder at night. You're wearing too little." Yu Bai brought Gu Yang a cup of warm ginger tea.
"I already said I didn't want to come, but you guys insisted on me coming." Gu Yang took the tea, the slightly hot temperature coming from his palm, he lowered his head and drank lazily, "I can't eat anything after having to chat with a bunch of people I don't know well enough."
"What you said, you didn't see how Chen Shan looked at me with his nose in his eyes when you were not around. Wow, I didn't know he could speak so gently." Yu Bai grumbled, "It's true that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. What kind of life is what kind of son."
"But it's true. Our family wasn't invited to this kind of party. If it weren't for Jiayi, I wouldn't be able to enter this place." Yu Bai put his hand on Gu Yang's shoulder. "If it were a novel with a lot of plot points, I would be played all kinds of tricks by the vicious cannon fodder who has nothing to do, and then my defense would be broken."
"It's okay, you're thick-skinned." Gu Yang had just pushed Yu Bai's hand away when he was surrounded by someone and his face was slapped again the next second.
Ying Jiayi came back after finishing her talk with a gloomy face. Out of friendship, Yu Bai quickly asked her what happened.
"My dad." Ying Jiayi complained irritably, "Wasn't I going to go find him? He just happened to be chatting with someone else."
"Guess what I heard? I don't know what got him into it, but he actually found a partner for me."
"Ah? You're urging me to get married so early?" Yu Bai was dumbfounded. "Does your family have any feudal family rules?"
"I'm too lazy to complain. Other parents are worried that their children will fall in love early in high school, but he is so anxious to settle down as soon as possible."
"The key point is that the guy he found seems to be just a high school student. I don't know how I could tell that he was very capable. He said I could rest assured to hand over the company to him. I met that guy several times at home. He said he was the child of my dad's high school classmate. I didn't think much of it at the time."
"No, am I dead? I still need to find a man to manage the company for me."
"Oh my god, your dad is pretty weird." Yu Bai also felt that there were many complaints, "What should we do?"
"I don't know. I was so speechless that I came back first. I don't want to talk to him."
"Hey, wait a minute..." Yu Bai's eyes turned, he pulled over Gu Yang, who had just dealt with him, and put his arm around his shoulders.
Yu Bai: "Do you know? Jiayi's parents found her a blind date named Yu Zhou. She fell in love with him at first sight and decided to marry no other man. She also planned to save herself ten years of detours and study home economics in college, become his good wife, wash his clothes and cook for him, and become the woman behind his successful career."
"Jiayi said that when they get married, she will invite us to sit at the main table to witness their beautiful love."
Gu Yang's originally indifferent expression changed.
He digested it in confusion for a few seconds, then acted as if he had seen a ghost, and looked Ying Jiayi up and down from head to toe. During this time, his expression gradually returned to indifference and disgust, and finally he wished them happiness.
Ying Jiayi: “…”
Damn, I'm so angry.
She knew what Yu Bai was planning, and after a few seconds, the sound she had imagined rang out.
【Yu Zhou……】
【Um? Isn’t this just a Phoenix man who only wants to live off his wife? Is Ying Jiayi blind to actually fall in love with this kind of stuff? She really should go wash her eyes. 】
Before she had time to get angry at what Gu Yang said to her, Ying Jiayi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
What is Phoenix Man?
[Ying Jiayi's mother found a Phoenix man. Is her vision of men hereditary? 】
Ying Jiayi frowned. Her father was indeed a poor boy with no background, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the Ying Group. So when her mother made her boyfriend public, most people in their circle were not optimistic about this relationship.
Even though her father later moved her grandparents with his sincerity and time, the rumors from the outside world never stopped.
But marriage is supposed to be conducted behind closed doors. All she needs to know is that her father is a good husband and a good father, and that's enough.
Yu Bai looked at Ying Jiayi's face and smiled awkwardly. He was too rash in this matter. He should have found a chance to try her privately. This place was full of acquaintances, but he ended up bringing the person out for public execution.
[This Yu Zhou is also a talented person. He can actually say something like "Three generations return to the clan."
[It is proposed that the child born between him and Ying Jiayi, that is, the grandson of the son-in-law, should take the son-in-law's surname Liu to make up for the regret that the other party has no descendants of his own. 】
[…Awesome.] 】
