Congratulations on his recovery from his leg ailment.
Congratulations to him on his marriage and for marrying such a beautiful wife.
Gu Yunzhen accepted them all with a smile.
Shangguan Wu only recognized three familiar faces: Mu Liangzhou from the Mu family, Pei Xiangkai from the Pei family, and Su Xiangrui from the Su family.
She greeted everyone one by one, introduced by Gu Yunzhen.
Not long after, the three Qin brothers came to offer their New Year's greetings.
As soon as Qin Yichen arrived, he went up to Shangguan Wu and told her some big news.
Shangguan Wu was dumbfounded: "Ji Xianli went to the Yan family on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
The Ji family values tradition and are also from the south, so they should have gone to worship their ancestors as a family.
Ji Xianli rushed to the Yan family from Xizhou City. Could it be that he didn't go to pay respects to his ancestors?
Qin Yichen laughed gleefully: "Haha, it's absolutely true! All the elders of the Ji family are waiting for him to go back and deal with him!"
Shangguan Wu asked in surprise, "How did you know that the elders of the Ji family wanted to deal with him?"
Qin Yichen boasted, "Is there anything I want to know that I don't know?"
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched: "No wonder beef is cheap this year."
Qin Yichen reached out and tapped her on the head: "You've gotten quite bold, huh? Ouch—"
Qin Yichen was also hit on the head, and cried out in pain. He turned his head and glared at Gu Si: "Gu Si!"
Gu Yunzhen gave him a cool warning: "Don't lay a hand on my wife."
Qin Yichen rubbed his head and rolled his eyes: "Did I call that hitting you? I just touched you lightly, and you hit me so hard?"
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Can it be even heavier, believe it or not?"
"..." How could Qin Yichen not believe it?
Fine, he can't afford to mess with this wife-protecting maniac.
Qin Yichen walked into the Singles Alliance and whispered something in Gu Chenye's ear.
Gu Chenye's expression stiffened slightly, and he showed no further reaction.
Seeing Gu Yunzhen sit down next to her, Shangguan Wu looked away and blinked, "Why don't you go over and chat?"
Gu Yunzhen showed little interest: "What's the point of chatting with a bunch of single people?"
Shangguan Wu's lips involuntarily curled up; she knew he just wanted to keep her company and keep her from getting bored.
Actually, it's not boring. My mother-in-law took the women to the greenhouse. It's too cold outside, so my mother-in-law didn't let her go out. That's why she's sitting alone now.
Suddenly, she leaned closer to him and whispered, "My third cousin just told my third brother, but he didn't react. It seems like he doesn't like Yan Yirou."
Gu Yunzhen asked calmly, "You want to bring them together?"
Shangguan Wu was taken aback: "No, I just felt that Third Brother had a special feeling for Yan Yirou, and he probably had feelings for her, right?"
Gu Yunzhen's eyes deepened. He knew that his third brother was interested in Yan Yirou's secret, but whether he liked her or not was still unclear.
Shangguan Wu looked at him curiously: "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Yunzhen asked her in return, "What do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."
Changing the subject?
Shangguan Wu glanced at the large group of people not far away, realizing it wasn't the right time to ask further questions, and said, "I want to eat pistachios, can you peel them for me?"
Gu Yunzhen brought over a plate of pistachios, peeled them, and handed them to her.
Shangguan Wu squinted her eyes, pampered like a lazy cat enjoying herself immensely.
Suddenly, someone from the singles group spoke up: "If anyone had told me before that Gu Si was ever this gentle and considerate, I would have told them it was nonsense!"
Everyone else looked at Gu Yunzhen.
My teeth ached from looking at it.
"Don't talk nonsense, you should just say the sun rose in the west!"
"The rooster laid an egg!"
"Hahaha, we've snatched the bamboo shoots!"
They were all joking around and laughing together.
Married men also noticed Gu Yunzhen's thoughtfulness and were all impressed.
"There were rumors circulating for a while that Gu Si didn't like his wife and only married her to cure his leg. They also said that they would get divorced sooner or later. Your family never explained this to the public. I thought it was true at the time. It turns out I was just being narrow-minded."
"I've heard the rumors too, but I didn't believe those cheesy things."
"That's right, Gu Si doesn't seem like the kind of person who would compromise. How could he possibly have a fake marriage?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yilou silently sipped his tea, smiling but saying nothing.
He had seen the divorce agreement with his own eyes.
I've also met Aheng.
Gu Yilou glanced at Qin Yiheng and noticed that the other seemed distracted, so he frowned slightly.
At this moment, someone asked, "So, the Xiao family's sister-in-law and the Yan family's eldest daughter aren't bothering your Gu Si anymore, are they?"
Gu Yilou replied, "No."
"But I heard that Miss Yan spent the New Year at your house last night?"
Gu Yilou looked at the man and said, "You're really well-informed."
The man awkwardly took a big gulp of tea and changed the subject: "Liangzhou and Master Heng aren't married yet, are they? Why aren't you sitting with Aye and the others?"
But he might as well have kept quiet.
Qin Yiheng glanced at him coldly: "I'm not single."
Mu Liangzhou chimed in, "I'm not single either."
Someone else said, "I've met Hengye's girlfriend before. Liangzhou, when did you get a girlfriend?"
Mu Liangzhou's fragile heart was pricked, and he retorted in an unfriendly tone, "Does it mean I have to bring her here for you to see before I'm considered to have a girlfriend?"
"Ahem, of course not, I was just asking casually."
The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.
Qin Yiheng suddenly stood up: "I drank a bit too much last night, I'm going to rest in the study."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator.
Others were somewhat envious of him for treating the Gu family like his own.
"Gu Si's wife is Master Heng's cousin, so your two families are related by marriage, right?"
