The person who said this was Zhou Shengyuan, who was currently sitting on the sofa on the left, resting his chin on his hand and staring at the two people outside the door with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, yeah. Shouldn't I drink three cups as punishment?"
A man sitting next to him echoed this, his eyes filled with undisguised interest.
Wen Zeli held Lin Yitang in his arms and said with a frown: "Today is not a drinking party, don't do these crooked things."
"Oh, we've only just said a few words and some people are already defending us."
Zhou Shengyuan is more familiar with Wen Zeli, so he often speaks casually and is much more relaxed than others.
Wen Zeli said nothing, and said to the person in his arms: "That's just how they look. Don't pay attention to them."
Lin Yitang nodded slightly. Although the people in front of him spoke in a joking tone, their attitude was not disrespectful. He could tell whether they were sincere or not at a glance.
Wen Zeli took Lin Yitong to the center seat and introduced them one by one.
Although it was called a party, there were actually very few people, only five in total. The first person to speak was Zhou Shengyuan, the one who took over was Lu Hang, the one who had been looking at her was Meng Ye, and the ones sitting aside and didn't seem to notice her much were Gu Mingye and his sister Gu Mengran.
Lin Yitang greeted the five people politely. Among them, Zhou Shengyuan and Lu Hang responded most enthusiastically. Meng Ye and Gu Mingye nodded lightly, but the only girl looked her up and down and did nothing else.
Lin Yitang's eyes flickered slightly, it was a bit interesting.
In the following time, Lin Yitang witnessed Gu Mengran's difficulties as expected. Looking at the person opposite him who interrupted him from time to time and turned to attract other people's attention, Lin Yitang shook his head secretly.
Besides myself, I guess the old foxes here have also seen through this clumsy plan.
Gu Mengran interrupted Lin Yitang and didn't see her get angry the first three or four times, so she became a little anxious. The person who had been talking about the interesting things that happened after she went abroad suddenly became warm to Lin Yitang and pulled her aside to ask her all kinds of questions.
"What does Miss Lin's family do?"
Lin Yitang had no memory of this. He only remembered that the relationship between the original owner and his family was not very good and they had not seen each other for a long time.
She smiled faintly, "I seem to remember that they were running a small business, but I haven't been back for a long time, so I don't know their current situation."
Gu Mengran seemed to have caught this loophole and said with a hint of persuasion: "Miss Lin, this doesn't seem very good. How can a child be angry with an elder? For example, although my mother rarely gets angry with me and we get along like sisters, we will actively resolve the occasional conflicts. There is no point in avoiding them."
When Lin Yitang heard her say this, a smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
This Miss Gu has a strong daddy vibe.
Lin Yitang continued calmly, "The situations are different, so we can't generalize. Anyway, thank you for your advice, Miss Gu."
Gu Mengran was dissatisfied with her perfunctory response, but changed the subject and asked curiously, "Ms. Lin, I have a question that may be a little offensive. Why didn't you and Brother Wen have a wedding? We didn't even get to eat the wedding candy, and we even thought the news of his marriage was fake."
Lin Yitang didn't deny it, but pretended to be distressed and said, "I was too hasty before, I plan to make up for it later. Thank you Miss Gu for reminding me."
When this was brought up, Lin Yitang counterattacked, "I don't have many friends in Changcheng, but I felt that Miss Gu and I got along quite well today. I wonder if I can invite Miss Gu to join us when we go to try on wedding dresses?"
Gu Mengran's face turned ashen at that moment, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Wen Zeli originally planned to take action when Gu Mengran started to target Lin Yitong, but was held down by Lin Yitong and could only watch the fire from the other side. Seeing that Gu Mengran was a little angry, he curled the corners of his mouth in pleasure.
"Miss Lin probably doesn't know about our group climbing Mount Tai. That was many years ago. I almost couldn't make it up next to the other men, but it was Brother Wen who pulled me up at the critical moment."
Gu Mengran smiled gently, seemingly sharing interesting stories from her childhood, but in fact it was also another kind of demonstration.
After Gu Mengran finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yitang's expression, and at this moment she heard Lin Yitang laugh and say, "Hanchuan is indeed very helpful. I remember when we first met, it was he who held me in his arms to prevent me from falling."
"Hanchuan?"
Gu Mengran asked in a lost voice: "This is Brother Wen's—"
"Hmm? Miss Gu, don't you know that this is Zeli's character?"
Lin Yitang pretended to be confused, and finally looked at her carefully, and said in an exaggerated tone, "Ah, I seem to have said something wrong, Miss Gu should not blame me."
Gu Mengran didn't want to show her fear in front of her, so she could only force a smile and said, "Of course not, that's impossible."
Lin Yitang nodded as if understanding, and praised: "Miss Gu is indeed generous."
Before Gu Mengran could make the next move, Lin Yitang said to Wen Zeli, "Go to the bathroom."
Then she smiled at the people present and walked out. When Gu Mengran saw her leaving, she did not miss the opportunity and took Lin Yitang's hand affectionately and said, "I'm coming too."
As soon as the two of them left, the five men in the room stopped talking at the same time.
Lu Hang laughed out loud. "It's quite interesting to listen to their conversation, don't you think, Lao Gu?"
Zhou Shengyuan was also enjoying the fun, adding to the jokes, "Indeed, I was wondering if our Old Wen's beloved daughter would be bullied, but I didn't expect her to turn the tables in a few moves."
Listening to the two people's conversation, Gu Mingye's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at Wen Zeli and said, "I'm sorry, Zeli. I have made Meng Ran lose her sense of propriety. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Wen Zeli said calmly: "She shouldn't apologize to me. It's my wife who should apologize."
Gu Mingye's face looked a little grim. "Zeli, Meng Ran just likes you too much, so she's targeting Lin Yitang. You saw it just now, your wife didn't suffer any loss."
A flash of sarcasm flashed across Wen Zeli's face. "You didn't suffer any loss? Are you saying that Gu Mengran was wrong to take the initiative to provoke you?"
Gu Mingye's face turned a bit ugly when his thoughts were revealed. He was also a little angry at the moment, so he said it bluntly, "Everyone knows that you married her to put off Mr. Wen..."
"Who said that? How come I don't know?"
Wen Zeli crossed his legs, his dark eyes fixed on him. "I'm very curious. You all said I didn't love her, and you all made up some very plausible reasons, but I don't think I ever said that I married her for this reason."
