The onlookers all left.
Su Nianxue and Gu Yanliu naturally went back as well.
In the courtyard, Gu Yansong was sitting under the pomegranate tree, lost in thought.
Upon seeing them enter, he quickly stood up from under the tree.
Su Nianxue unfolded the handkerchief, revealing a neatly stacked pile of bills inside.
"Sister Peach lent me two hundred yuan, and the rest is here."
Gu Yansong took the handkerchief, didn't even glance at the money inside, and quickly rewrapped it.
"Sister-in-law, thank you so much for today."
"Brother, don't say that. Actually, I didn't do anything."
All this money is yours, and you're the one who helped Sister Peach.
"I just made a name for myself!" Su Nianxue was too embarrassed to take credit.
Gu Yansong had arrived long ago.
However, due to his special relationship with Taozi, he has been hiding in the Gu family's courtyard and has not shown his face.
They knew the Yang family didn't have that much money.
So he asked Gu Yanliu to send her some money, hoping to help the Yang family in her name.
To be precise, I wanted to help Taozi out.
"Sister-in-law, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you." He glanced at the neighboring yard, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.
"Go ahead and say it!"
"Don't let their family know about this, especially Peach. Consider this money as a loan from you to them."
If Peach knew that the money belonged to him, she would probably feel terrible!
"good!"
Su Nianxue understood his concerns and readily agreed.
This time, Gu Yanliu was unusually silent, as quiet as if she didn't exist.
The hotel's opening day arrived quickly.
The two arrived in the county early, and with a burst of firecrackers, Siyuan Restaurant officially opened for business.
Gu Yanbai only showed his face briefly before leaving the rest to Zhou Mingjie.
Knowing that he was opening today, Gu Yanbai's friends arrived at the restaurant early to show their support.
He specially set up a table in the private room to entertain these friends.
Su Nianxue sat down next to Gu Yanbai.
It was her first time meeting his friends, so she was a little nervous.
However, after spending a lot of time with Gu Yanbai, she didn't dislike them.
After exchanging greetings, one friend asked, "Why hasn't Fifth Brother arrived yet? Has he gone on another long trip?"
The man shook his head. "Impossible. I ran into him just a few days ago, and he said he would definitely come today."
"Then let's wait a little longer. Maybe something has delayed us."
Su Nianxue didn't know who the Fifth Brother they were talking about was.
But from their conversation, it was clear that this fifth brother was quite prestigious.
They all respected his appearance.
Soon, a woman's voice came from the door of the private room, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late!"
Su Nianxue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman who was about 1.6 meters tall appear at the door of the private room.
She had the latest trend of big, wavy hair, wore exquisite makeup, had a round face, and carried a leather bag on her shoulder.
Could Fifth Brother be a woman?
Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned around and looked at her, asking, "Xiaomei, why are you alone? Where's your brother?"
"Yeah, why didn't Fifth Brother come?"
Wu Xiaomei smiled at everyone, "My brother had something come up and left early this morning."
However, he's been thinking about Yanbai's opening, so he had no choice but to ask me to come!
It turns out she was Fifth Brother's sister.
As she spoke, she walked to the table and sat down to Gu Yanbai's left.
That seat was originally reserved for her brother, so there was nothing wrong with her sitting down.
"Yanbai, I'm sorry, something came up unexpectedly."
However, my brother said that when he gets back, he'll definitely make up for the missed banquet; he'll treat everyone next time.
Gu Yanbai waved his hand magnanimously, "It's alright, business is more important. Alright, everyone's here, let's begin!"
Wu Xiaomei took the opportunity to glance at Su Nianxue a few times, "And this is..."
"My wife, Su Nianxue!"
Su Nianxue nodded at her in a friendly manner.
Wu Xiaomei nodded at her, but her expression was somewhat indifferent, with a hint of disdain and... disgust in her eyes.
Su Nianxue was a little confused. If she remembered correctly, this should be their first meeting, right?
So where does her dislike come from?
However, today is Gu Yanbai's special day. He is a guest from afar, and she is, after all, the host. So she should be magnanimous and pretend she didn't see anything.
She gently tugged at Gu Yanbai's sleeve and asked softly, "Was it her brother who brought you into the industry?"
“Yes!” Gu Yanbai nodded.
Wu Xiaomei watched the two of them whispering to each other as if no one else was around, and her eyes darted around.
Looking at Su Nianxue, he asked, "Your name is Su Nianxue, right?"
Su Nianxue nodded.
“We’ve met with Yanbai so many times, but he’s never mentioned you.”
I never expected that he would get married while I was away traveling for a while.
"You two got married pretty quickly!"
“Yes, it was only about ten days from engagement to wedding.” Not knowing what she meant, Su Nianxue still answered honestly.
"Speaking of which, this is actually the first time we've met!"
May I ask, what did you do before?
She casually tossed aside her hair, revealing a large, gleaming gold chain around her neck.
Su Nianxue...
This gold chain seems... a bit too thick, it's almost as big as her little finger!
Of course, she had absolutely no jealousy.
I just feel that wearing such a thick gold chain on a slender neck is really... mismatched.
Moreover, her question was rather presumptuous!
Her lips twitched slightly, and she looked away from the woman's neck, speaking honestly.
“I used to work the land with my dad, so it’s normal that you’ve never met me before.”
"Your family... are farmers?" Her gaze swept back and forth between Su Nianxue and Gu Yanbai.
I simply don't believe that Gu Yanbai's wife could be so ordinary.
Of course, there are some unusual aspects, namely that she is indeed a little bit... good-looking.
Su Nianxue's face was completely calm. "Yes, you heard me right, my family are farmers."
Wu Xiaomei's facial expressions immediately became more varied.
"Then you now..."
"Still farming!" Su Nianxue said succinctly.
She didn't have a good impression of this person, and she was too lazy to argue with her anymore.
Her intuition was usually quite accurate; this man's attitude towards her was far from friendly.
So she couldn't be bothered to waste her breath arguing with her anymore!
Gu Yanbai had just taken a sip of tea when he heard her utter those words so bluntly that he almost spat it out.
I know she's probably unhappy!
Otherwise, I wouldn't have given such a curt reply.
He patted her hand reassuringly, about to speak.
Then Wu Xiaomei asked, seemingly out of curiosity, "So how did you two meet?"
Yanbai, Nianxue, please don't mind!
I'm just a very curious person.
"Since we're just killing time anyway, why don't you tell me about it!"
