Once the relationship between the two parties is no longer the same, all the little things that were once insignificant will become cracks that make the relationship worse.
What Zhao Mingze needs to do is to nip any cracks that may appear in the future in the bud.
For this, he was willing to put aside his dignity as an elder and apologize to a younger person.
Jianshu felt sad, and Gu Mingjing was also a little scared.
He quickly stood up and said, "Uncle Zhao, you are really embarrassing me. I am a junior, so it is only right for you to teach me a lesson. There is no reason for me to apologize."
"Just like you said, if I put myself in your shoes, if I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to get married. This is what I have to endure. Getting married is not that easy."
"You didn't do anything wrong, especially if you apologize to me again. I really can't bear it. If my father knew about this, I'm afraid he would kick me out of the house with a stick again."
The last teasing remark instantly relaxed the originally serious atmosphere.
"Hahahaha - you know what, this is really something that old guy can do." Zhao Mingze said happily.
Gu Mingjing said with a bitter face, "Yes, so please don't say these things that embarrass me anymore. Otherwise, I will get beaten again. The pain is one thing, but the most important thing is that it's embarrassing."
"Haha - don't worry, uncle will definitely keep it a secret for you and won't let your dad know." Zhao Mingze smiled and patted his head.
Then he continued, "Since you've said that, okay, let's just leave this matter here. No one should mention it again in the future. Let's just let it go."
Gu Mingjing was completely relieved this time and nodded, "Yes, it's all over."
The two reached an agreement and both sides were satisfied.
"Come, have a drink!" Zhao Mingze patted Gu Mingjing's shoulder and picked up the wine glass.
"I toast to you!" Gu Mingjing toasted with both hands.
Men's friendships all begin at the wine table, where the two of them clink glasses and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Seeing this, Jianshu finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
He served each of them a bowl of soup and placed it in front of them.
He leaned close to Gu Mingjing's ear and said, "Drink less, don't drink anymore."
"Okay." Gu Mingjing nodded in agreement.
"Shushu, don't worry about them. Let's go for a walk together, mother and daughter." Meng Ying raised her glass and gestured to Jianshu and Zhao Yueling.
She never expressed any opinion on the whole matter from beginning to end, and let the two of them handle it themselves.
Now that the matter was resolved, he smiled and diverted Jianshu's attention.
"Cheers!" Zhao Yueling raised her glass with a hint of excitement on her face.
"Come on, cheers!" Jian Shu smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with the other two's glasses.
"I want one too, I want one too. Wait for me!" Zhao Tianrui refused to give in when he saw the three of them clinking glasses without him.
He raised his honey water and insisted on joining in.
Jian Shu took back his wine glass, pointed maliciously, and said, "Rui Rui, men should clink glasses with men. This is a place for us girls. Want to clink glasses? Go find your brother Gu."
Zhao Tianrui looked here, then looked there, then happily climbed down from his chair, ran to Gu Mingjing, raised his glass, tugged at his shirt, and shouted excitedly, "Brother Gu, Brother Gu, Ruirui wants to drink too!"
Gu Mingjing looked at the little things beside him, caught a glimpse of the honey water in his cup, and picked up the cup with a smile, "Ruirui, do you want to drink too?"
"Yeah!" He nodded heavily.
"Okay, come on, let's have a drink!" Gu Mingjing bent down slightly and placed the wine glass in front of him.
There was no childish perfunctoriness or reluctance. Every move was filled with respect.
Seeing this scene, Jianshu's smile deepened. Details reveal a person's character, and people with patience are always more appreciated.
"Cheers!" Zhao Tianrui raised his glass excitedly.
After a crisp "ding-dong" sound, Zhao Tianrui raised the cup and wanted to drink it all in one gulp.
On the way, Jianshu stopped him and said, "Ruirui, you can only drink one glass of honey water today. If you finish it, there will be no more."
Want another drink after finishing yours? No way.
Zhao Tianrui could only put down the cup reluctantly. He looked at the less than one-third of honey water left in the cup and felt like crying.
Then he stopped pestering people to clink glasses, and returned to his seat with a bitter face, glancing at the cup every once in a while, as if this could make the water in the cup increase.
Everyone was amused by his pitiful little appearance. Well, it was quite appetizing.
A group of unscrupulous adults enjoyed watching and eating.
However, although he couldn't drink more honey water, Zhao Tianrui was still looking forward to the delicious meal.
Children are carefree, and sadness comes and goes quickly.
Eat a few mouthfuls of meat, drink a few sips of soup, and all the previous sorrows will be forgotten.
Is there anything more pleasurable than eating meat? If one piece doesn't do it for you, have another.
Roast duck, spare ribs, hairtail, braised pork... Zhao Tianrui ate until his mouth was full of oil, enjoying himself very much.
But my stomach is only so big, so I was full in no time.
Zhao Yueling put down her chopsticks soon after. Jianshu and Meng Ying ate for a while longer, and when they felt they had enough, they left the table.
In the end, there were only two male comrades left at the table. They ate peanuts and drank wine, chatting about everything from national affairs to the philosophy of life, and they never stopped talking.
I have to say, we can really chat.
The meal lasted four hours, and the dishes had to be reheated several times. The two men finally drank enough and talked enough, and of course, they were almost drunk.
Looking at Gu Mingjing who was dazed and walking unsteadily, Jianshu was furious.
