Jiang Xiuzhen left angrily.

In fact, Gu Panpan didn't run that fast, and she didn't go far. She just got into a black car on the side of the road. There was a gauze curtain hanging on the window, so Jiang Xiuzhen couldn't see her.

In the car, Lian Yinghao smiled evilly and blew a puff of white smoke at Gu Panpan: "You haven't even finished a cigarette yet, and you come to me again? Since you can't bear to leave, then come with me again. But let me make it clear first, I won't be able to take you back next time."

"It's suffocating!"

Gu Panpan dodged the smoke with disdain: "I don't want to go out with you. I was out for two nights last time and I finally made it through. But you didn't come home last night. My mother will be worried to death. If my grandparents ask about it, I won't be able to explain it."

"What do you want to confess? Be honest. If they ask me to marry you, it's not impossible."

"I don't!"

Lian Yinghao narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold and gloomy: "Hmm? Could it be that marrying me would be an insult to you?"

Gu Panpan couldn't help but shudder. She was most afraid of his sinister expression. She felt like she was facing a poisonous snake. "No, I...I just feel sorry for you. You love my elder sister so much and even call her name in your dreams. It's unfair and unacceptable for you not to marry her!"

Lian Yinghao snorted: "There will be a day when I will marry her. She will become my woman after all. She can't escape in this life!"

Gu Panpan: “…”

She closed her mouth and didn't dare to continue the topic, fearing that he would be serious. She absolutely didn't want to marry him. The only man she wanted to marry was Xu Hengkai.

Lian Yinghao leaned on the driver's seat, playing with his lighter, and asked after a while: "You went in and ran out again, what are you doing?"

Gu Panpan quickly replied: "I just heard that Shen Yu's family is having a party today."

"So what?"

"I heard they were all young people. My eldest sister just went there too."

Lian Yinghao paused as he was trying to light the lighter, and rolled his eyes: "You didn't invite me."

"You can go by yourself. You are not an insignificant person. The Lian family used to be one of the most powerful families in Beijing."

Lian Yinghao was silent for a moment: There is nothing wrong with what he said, but at that time the old man was still alive, and his prestige was unquestionable. Today, the Lian family has fallen behind a bit, and with the efforts of my father, brothers and uncles, we are now on par with Xu, Meng, Gu, Dou and others.

Gu Panpan continued, "Meng Zhehan, Xu Hengkai, Han Chaoyang and others must have gone. They are in the same circle, have the same family background and are equally talented. Why can't you go? Shen Yu must have forgotten. He doesn't dare to not give you face."

Lian Yinghao stopped playing basketball and sat up straight: "How long has Gu Yingying been gone? What car did she take?"

Gu Panpan: "She should take the bus... I'll go too, you take me with you."

Lian Yinghao raised one corner of his mouth: "Looking for Xu Hengkai? What if he knew that you followed me...?"

Lian Yinghao laughed arrogantly, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away.

At this time, almost all the invited relatives and friends had arrived at the Shen residence. Although the weather was cold, everyone was in high spirits and busy making barbecues. Doing it yourself can provide for yourself, and the barbecue is delicious and the process is more fun. The yard was filled with the tempting aroma of wine and meat, and there was constant laughter and joy, making it very lively.

It was originally expected that there would be around 20 people, but it turned out to be over 30.

The four classmates and friends invited by Shen Yu - Xia Yufeng, Yan Xinhua, Lu Jin and Zhong Cheng, all brought their families. Meng Tao knew two of the girls, Xia Moli and Yan Baozhi, who came with their brothers.

Han Dongdong also came. She went out in the morning to play with Yan Baozhi, but she heard Yan Xinhua asking his sister if she wanted to go for a barbecue, saying that there was a party at the Shen family. Han Dongdong quickly called home to find out what was going on, and then followed along.

She said to Meng Tao happily: It's a good thing I didn't go too wild. If I had run out of the capital to play, I would have missed such a feast!

Zhong Cheng gave Meng Tao a gift box that looked quite luxurious. No one knew what was inside. He smiled and said it was a wedding gift, which he brought back specially from abroad. When Shen Yu and Meng Tao got married, he was still working abroad and was unable to come to congratulate them in person.

Xia Yufeng, Yan Xinhua, and Lu Jin had all attended the wedding, but there were too many people at the time, so Meng Tao might have seen them before but had no impression of them. It was only today that she officially met them. However, Meng Tao knew Xia Yufeng because when she and Shen Yu sent Xu Yuting back to school, they saw him and Feng Liuyun walking together at the school gate.

Shen Yu told Meng Tao that it was the last meeting between Xia Yufeng and Feng Liuyun. Xia Yufeng was transferred from the school to the research institute to concentrate on research and never contacted Feng Liuyun again. Feng Liuyun, as a student, had no way to find him.

Therefore, the outcome of the Xia family in the previous life was most likely planned by Feng Liuyun with the help of the Meng Wenlan sisters.

With a little intervention this time, Xia Yufeng would not fall in love with Feng Liuyun, and end up with such a bad relationship, which would ruin the whole family.

Lu Jin is in the army. He is serious, aloof and doesn't talk much. His wife Xiao Yu and sister Lu Hongmei are very lively, talkative and easy to get along with.

Yan Xinhua is Yan Baozhi's brother, the one who, as she said, had been fighting with Shen Yu since childhood.

As expected of siblings, Yan Xinhua, like Yan Baozhi, is not only handsome but also eloquent. He is very good at adjusting the atmosphere and is eloquent and humorous. Imagine if one day the two siblings were unwilling to accept each other and started a debate, the scene would be very interesting. I just don't know who will win in the end.

Just as everyone was happily enjoying the food, Lian Yinghao and Gu Panpan arrived near Shen's house.

Lian Yinghao pulled the car over to the side of the road and let Gu Panpan get off. This was Gu Panpan's request. She couldn't let Xu Hengkai see her walking with another man for fear of being misunderstood.

So it was agreed that Lian Yinghao would go to Shen's house first, and then Gu Panpan would sneak in under the pretext of looking for her eldest sister Gu Yingying.

But they didn't expect that the gate of the Shen residence was closed in broad daylight. Lian Yinghao knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. Gu Panpan hid in the corner of the street and watched Lian Yinghao lose his patience. He turned around with a gloomy face and wanted to leave. She was so anxious that she wanted to run up and knock on the door loudly.

At this time the door opened, Shen Yu walked out and stood in front of Lian Yinghao. The two said a few words. Lian Yinghao seemed to be irritated and wanted to rush directly into the door. Shen Yu did not move, raised his hand to block Lian Yinghao, and even took two steps back.

Lian Yinghao stared at Shen Yu in surprise. He couldn't imagine that Shen Yu would really shut him out. Shen Yu had a cold and arrogant expression on his face. He said no more and turned around to go in, then closed the gate.
