Chapter 374 Not Very Appropriate
The cousin who got engaged today has the same grandparents as Qing Ning. He is the third child in their generation and works as an information analyst at Ning'an Investment.
This relationship can be said to be quite close.
This made Yu Zhiming very conflicted.
As the ancients said, if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly.
Can't we allow a girl with a chaotic private life to say goodbye to the past and be a good wife and mother?
Besides, Yu Zhiming didn’t understand their relationship and love story.
Perhaps, the third cousin already knew about the girl's past and didn't mind?
As the old saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage!
Yu Zhiming decided to keep his distance for now. This was just an engagement, so he could talk about it later...
"Zhiming, did you discover something?"
Facing Gu Qingran's sudden question, Yu Zhiming shook his head like a rattle and covered it up: "No, no!"
"I was just distracted for a moment."
Gu Qingran didn't believe it at all.
To an old hand like Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming is just a guy who can't hide his true feelings on his face.
The expression on his face clearly showed that he was struggling with something important.
Gu Qingran cast his gaze towards the newlyweds on the catwalk, his brows slightly furrowed.
But he knew that Yu Zhiming's expression became complicated and tangled when he saw these two people.
He thought again of Yu Zhiming's ability to detect the smallest details of the body.
Gu Qingran couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Cousin? Future cousin-in-law? Something wrong with her health?
At this time, a group of young men and women came over and greeted us.
"Cousin!"
"Cousin!"
"Xiao Qi!"
"Doctor Yu!"
Yu Zhiming looked up and found that many of these people were people he knew. They had had half a meal together last time when Qing Ning dragged him over to make things look presentable.
Among them is Qin Jue, the daughter of Teacher Qi’s old friend.
Yu Zhiming and Qin Jue looked at each other and nodded to each other as a greeting.
Gu Qingran waved his hand with great dignity and said, "The engagement ceremony is about to begin, everyone please take a seat."
More than ten people sat down in pairs, and Yu Zhiming's table and a nearby table were full of people.
Gu Qingning also switched seats with Gu Qingran and sat between Yu Zhiming and Zhu Ying.
Gu Qinghe, the fifth cousin who was sitting on the other side of Yu Zhiming, patted Yu Zhiming on the shoulder.
"Doctor Yu, Xiao Qi is the little princess of our Gu family, and she is loved by the elders."
"If she gets bullied one day, with all of us brothers and sisters..."
Before he could finish his threatening words, he was interrupted by Gu Qingning.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. If you scare my Zhiming away, I won't forgive you."
This caused a burst of laughter.
"See? Instead of worrying about Xiao Qi, you should worry about whether Dr. Yu will be bullied."
"That's right, don't you think about it? With Xiao Qi's personality and skills, who can bully her?"
This made Gu Qingning unable to sit still. She quickly stood up and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation."
"I've always been sweet, gentle, considerate, and sensible. I'm just a little lively at best."
These words made the people at the table feel uncomfortable.
Gu Qinghe's expression was tense, and he said solemnly, "Indeed, Xiaoqi is the most well-behaved and sensible among the sisters."
Yu Zhiming naturally saw this scene.
From the very first teasing phone call, he knew that Gu Qingning was not an ordinary guy.
However, the two have been in contact for quite some time.
He didn't dare to say that he understood everything, but he knew that apart from Qing Ning's thick skin and flirtatious mouth, everything else was pretty good.
At least, Qingning is self-disciplined and self-loving.
Yu Zhiming smiled along with everyone, and then saw Gu Qingning's parents, the chairman of Ning'an Group and more than a dozen other elders coming over.
The next moment, everyone at their table and several nearby tables stood up.
For a while, voices greeting the elders were heard one after another.
After a while, the elders who had been walking non-stop came to their table, but they all stopped.
Gu Qingran quickly straightened his body and put on an obedient look as if he was listening attentively to instructions.
The chairman of Ning'an Group, Gu Qingning's third uncle, looked at Gu Qingran and then at Zhu Ying beside him.
"Qingran, you are the eldest and you should set an example for your younger brothers and sisters, not only in work but also in personal life."
"Don't mess around like you did in the early days."
Gu Qingran was sweating profusely. He was such an adult, yet he was being lectured in public.
He put on a submissive look and said, "Third Uncle, I know that my actions in my early years were somewhat absurd."
"I've really settled down now."
He raised Zhu Ying's hand again and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, in a few months, Third Grandpa, you will be able to drink your granddaughter-in-law's tea."
Third Grandpa smiled brightly and said, "I'll be waiting."
Next, he turned his gaze to Yu Zhiming with a kind face.
"Doctor Yu, Qing Ning has been spoiled by us since she was a child, so it's inevitable that she's a little spoiled."
"If she makes you angry, tell us and we will teach her a lesson for you."
Gu Qingning said in a delicate voice, "Third Grandpa, I'm your granddaughter, how can you side with outsiders?"
Third Grandpa laughed and said, "Doctor Yu is not only your boyfriend, but also a benefactor of our Gu family."
"Besides, you've been a little naughty and a bully since you were little. How could Dr. Yu bully you?"
Gu Qingning pouted her lips pretending to be aggrieved.
Yu Zhiming quickly replied: "Qing Ning has always been very kind to me and has never bullied me."
"It's me who can't spend enough time with her because of work."
Third Grandpa smiled and said, "A man should prioritize his career, especially since you, Doctor Yu, are responsible for the health of countless people..."
After chatting for a few more minutes, the elders of the Gu family went to sit at the main table which could accommodate about 10 to 20 people.
The arrival of the elders marked the beginning of the engagement ceremony.
First, more than ten handsome men and beautiful women came up on the T-stage and performed a passionate and energetic dance to the accompaniment of music.
Then, a handsome emcee came on stage.
Under his witty and humorous guidance, the bride and groom exchanged engagement vows and rings.
Afterwards, the parents of both sides took turns to speak on stage and gave big red envelopes to the child who changed his mind.
Next, there was a talent show.
The bride-to-be played "Wedding in My Dream" on the violin.
To Yu Zhiming, the piece sounded quite cheerful and pleasant, with no obvious abrupt transitions in pitch or sound quality.
It can be seen that the bride-to-be has a very profound piano skill.
Just as Yu Zhiming was admiring it attentively, he suddenly heard a strange sound of "sizzling...sizzling".
The sound was like the sound of hot frying food.
Yu Zhiming followed the sound and saw a young waiter walking towards the T-stage carrying a teapot.
This sound came from the teapot in his hand!!!
At this moment, Yu Zhiming suddenly heard that the sound of the violin was disordered.
Do these two people know each other?
Yu Zhiming then saw the waiter swing the teapot in his hand.
This will hit the bride-to-be!
Realizing this, Yu Zhiming grabbed his teacup and threw it hard without thinking.
Some guests who noticed the unusual situation saw that the waiter had just swung the teapot to a high point when it was hit by a flying teacup.
Following a crisp bang, a howl that was not like that of a human being was heard.
The cup shattered, the pot shattered, and hot oil sprayed down, directly pouring over the waiter's head and body...
The scene was suddenly in a state of panic...
A few minutes later, the injured waiter was forcibly taken away by hotel security and order was restored in the banquet hall.
Gu Qingran, with a sullen face, called Yu Zhiming out of the banquet hall.
"Zhiming, this kind of thing happened, it shows that the bride-to-be is very experienced."
"If you have any findings, you should tell me, right? We are a family now."
Yu Zhiming struggled for a moment and said vaguely, "I gave her a physical examination before, and the condition wasn't very good."
Gu Qingran let out a long breath and said, "I understand. This girl is not very suitable."
"Fortunately, it's just an engagement party, not a wedding party..."
The two returned to the banquet hall and began to eat and drink.
Halfway through the banquet, people were walking around in the banquet hall and it became a social occasion.
Most of the people at Yu Zhiming's table, including Gu Qingran, had left.
Yu Zhiming didn't like socializing, but he didn't want to leave too early, so he continued to eat and drink slowly.
I have to say that the standard of the Gu family's engagement banquet is quite high. The dishes are mainly high-end seafood and the taste is delicious.
Yu Zhiming was also happy to stay and satisfy his appetite.
Gu Qingning stayed by his side, picking up food and pouring water for him.
"Hello, Doctor Yu!"
Hearing someone calling him, Yu Zhiming put down his chopsticks and turned around to see a middle-aged man in glasses holding a red wine glass approaching.
"I'm Palaeolite, Yan as in rock."
"Would you like to chat for a few minutes?"
"Please take a seat!" Yu Zhiming politely pointed to the empty seat next to him.
Gu Changyan sat down and put the wine glass on the dining table again.
"Doctor Yu, let me make it short. I own a nursing home on the outskirts of the city, and it currently houses nearly two hundred elderly people."
"I would like to invite you to conduct physical examinations for the elderly in the nursing home regularly, such as once every six months."
"What do you think?"
Gu Qingning, who was standing by, interrupted and asked, "Uncle Yan, you haven't said how much it is yet?"
Gu Changyan smiled and said, "One thousand and one people, how about that?"
Gu Qingning curled her lips and said, "It's not that bad. This one thousand per person is a very favorable price given to us Gu family members by Zhiming."
"The price of a medical examination for outsiders is 10,000 yuan per person."
"Ten thousand per person?!"
Gu Changyan looked frightened.
"Are you robbing money?"
"The elderly in nursing homes rely on their pensions and the support of their children to make a living, but they cannot afford such high medical examination costs."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "Uncle Yan, are you bullying us because we don't know the details?"
"I know your nursing home is quite high-end. The monthly fee is around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan at the lowest level."
"The old men and women who live there are all quite wealthy."
Gu Changyan chuckled and said, "Even if they have some money, spending 10,000 yuan on a physical examination is still beyond their cognition and they won't accept it."
Gu Qingning insisted: "For the elderly, health is the first priority. My family's Zhiming's physical examination is worth the price."
Just then, Gu Qingran came running over, pulled Yu Zhiming up and ran away.
"Quick, someone's having a heart attack..."
