Chapter 82: Frame the baby's painting

The banquet hall was bustling with laughter and music. Only this table seemed to have the mute button pressed. The smiles on their faces froze instantly, and their eyes showed shock, tension, and surprise. The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment.

"That's enough." Old Master Gu broke the silence, "Since she is Wen Liu's goddaughter, we are all family. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The Qin family members politely replied, "Nothing."

"This is Shuyao's father, mother, younger brother, and sister-in-law." Grandpa Gu introduced, "This is my third son's wife. She had an accident abroad and just returned to China recently."

"Hello. Hello..."

"Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Miss Zou is getting more and more beautiful."

Ye Wenliu glanced at Gu Zhenhai and then sat down. Gu Zhenhai was so angry that his nose was crooked.

The daughter of the Qin family was married to Gu Zhenhai's son. She was the apple of the Qin family's eye. Everything was naturally the best. The entire banquet hall was like a luxurious palace. The dome was a huge hand-painted gold-leaf mural, shining brightly under the reflection of the crystal chandelier. Every crystal on the chandelier was crystal clear. The walls were surrounded by white marble statues in ancient Greek style, adding an artistic atmosphere to the space. The red carpet meandered from the entrance to the main stage, and the flowers on both sides were gorgeous.

After all, it was the engagement party of a girl. The Gu family was not very good, but she had heard that the girl from the Qin family was very good, graduated from a famous university, and was well-educated. Ye Wenliu felt that Gu Zhenhai had gotten such an excellent daughter-in-law for nothing, which was a great deal.

It is said that the two are still in a free love relationship. No one knows what the eldest daughter of the Qin family likes about Gu Jingming.

The engagement banquet began, the opening host came on stage, and then the newlyweds entered. The door of the banquet hall slowly opened, and romantic music sounded like the sound of flowing water. The newlyweds walked hand in hand. Qin Shuyao wore a white wedding dress, the hem of which dragged behind her like a blooming flower, and she had a smile on her face. Gu Jingming, who was beside her, looked quite presentable in a neat suit.

Then they followed the procedure. The most important part of the engagement banquet was the speeches by the elders. On the Qin family side, it was naturally Qin Shuyao's father. On Gu Jingming's side, it was Gu Zhenhai and Gu Laoyezi who came on stage.

"Mom, they won't do anything, right?" Zou Jiaxin asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry." Ye Wenliu patted the back of Zou Jiaxin's hand, "Let's just divide the family property."

"Divide the family property?!" Zou Jiaxin almost couldn't control her voice.

No, is it such a big deal? Dividing the family property at someone else's engagement party? Does the Qin family know about it? They messed up a good engagement party.

The Qin family dotes on this daughter. The Qin family is a rare group of lovers in the circle. Other families have some who have lovers outside. But the Qin family is famous for their good relationship between husband and wife, which has remained the same for decades and for several generations. They are also good to their children, do not favor boys over girls, respect their children's wishes, and do not engage in family marriages. The youngest son of the Qin family married a girl who was a high school teacher from a scholarly family.

The brothers and sisters have a harmonious relationship. This is a big deal. The Gu family specially invited the media. The Qin family was not happy at first. Why did they invite the media to film their daughter's entire engagement party? They were not pretending, but their daughter agreed, so they didn't say anything.

This time, almost all of Gu's family members came, which gave the Qin family enough face and the Qin family was very satisfied.

If the Qin family knew why so many members of the Gu family came... Zou Jiaxin raised the corners of his mouth: It's going to be a good show.

"Today is not only a big event for my son Gu Jingming, but also a big event for the Gu family..."

The Qin family thought it was pretty good until...

"What do you mean?" Qin Shuxian was furious.

"Ah Xian, calm down. The media is here." Shu Xueer soothed, and then looked at Gu Wenbo beside her, "I think the Gu family should give us an explanation for this matter."

Gu Wenbo said calmly: "This is the old man's idea. His health has been getting worse in the past two years. It just happened to coincide with Jingming's engagement party. I wanted to announce this at the engagement party. Jingming will get the most family property among the younger generation, which will also bring honor to the Qin family, right?"

"What a lie!" Qin Shuxian was furious. What glory? Did his Qin family need this? Originally, he held this engagement party and invited a group of friends, and booked the best hotel and the best banquet hall because his sister liked it. In order to fulfill his sister's wish, he wanted his sister to be glorious and not be looked down upon by the Gu family.

What about now? The Gu family hired the media, not to mention it, but also to divide the family property? Can such a thing be said at an engagement party? It is clear that they want to grab the limelight and have no idea of ​​priorities. But now that things have come to this, with so many media outlets, it is difficult for them to stop it, otherwise they will be known as untrustworthy.

"The Qin family doesn't need you Gu family to bring glory to them." Shu Xue'er's face was ugly. Don't blame her for being rude if she still refuses to step down after being given the platform. "Let me be frank. There aren't many good people left in your Gu family except your third brother's branch. The reason why we agreed to let Ah Yao and Jing Ming be together is because Jing Ming has good character. It's rare that good things come out of bad bamboos."

Gu Wenbo couldn't pretend anymore: "How can your Qin family compare with the Gu family?"

"Without the Third House family, where would you be now?" Qin Shuxian said, "Everyone knows about this, but you are pretending not to know. With the way you are doing, who do you think would respect you?"

"You, you are just a kid, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!" Gu Wenbo habitually used his status to put down others.

"Children are ignorant." Shu Xueer took a sip of tea, "Why, you are being more serious with children?"

Gu Wenbo's eyes widened. A child?! How old is Qin Shuxian?! But he just used his status as an elder to bully others.

Ye Wenliu watched the good show in front of her. She knew that when Gu Wenbo made a solemn promise in front of her, she thought that the Qin family knew about it, but she didn't expect it. That's right, she knew the Gu family's character very well.

With the things that their ancestors have saved for many years, they think they are great. Grandpa Gu is quite capable, but few of the children he raised are good enough. The Gu family deserves what they have now.

Qin Shuyao on the stage was also stunned and turned to look at Gu Jingming: "What does this mean?"

"I don't know either." Gu Jingming held Qin Shuyao's hand tightly, "Ah Yao, uncle, I swear, I really don't know."

Qin Shuyao and Qin Xiuming also knew what kind of person Gu Jingming was. It seemed that the Gu family had kept it a secret from him. What was this? Did the Gu family really think that they could cover the sky with one hand, and that the Qin family didn't dare to say anything?

The Qin family also cooperated with Gu Yejin. Who didn't know about the Gu family's affairs? The reason why they cooperated with the Gu Group was because of Gu Yejin. The engagement banquet had to continue, but after the engagement banquet was over, they had to settle the bill.

After the engagement party, several people from the Qin family did not go home, but went to Gu's house together. It is said that there was quite a big commotion, and Gu Jingming moved out directly the next day.

After returning home, Ip Man-Liu and Zou Jiaxin took turns talking about this incident with other family members, and they acted out the story very well.

"Mr. Gu is not bad. He left three houses and one percent of the shares for Yanyan. Ah Jin didn't say anything." Ye Wenliu didn't care about this. She had calculated that based on the shares Ah Jin had now plus hers and... Yanyan's little bit.

Even if the Gu family members joined together, they would not pose a threat to them. She would not let that group of people take the group away again! If they were not so numerous, she would have attacked them long ago, humph!

"Those people in the Gu family don't seem to be very smart." Xie Luoshu said tactfully.

"Not smart?" Ye Wenliu said bluntly, "They are too arrogant. They have been like this for many years and think they are very powerful."

The people in the Gu family have been bullying others for too many years, and they are arrogant and can't see the situation clearly. It's also because Mr. Gu cares too much about them. He will solve any problems. Those people naturally don't care about anything, anyway, Mr. Gu is there.

"Grandma, look!" Ye Wenliu and Zou Jiaxin came back late. Yanyan had already washed up and was ready to go to bed. When she heard them coming back, she ran over to get her painting.

Yanyan showed it to housekeeper Lin and Aunt Lin, and they were so happy. They even made a video call to the housekeeper, who almost cried with joy (big fog). I wanted to call my dad, but my dad said there was a time difference and my dad hadn't woken up yet, so I sent the photo to him.

"Wow, it was painted by Yanyan." Ye Wenliu praised it without even looking at it, then borrowed the painting to look at it carefully. Hmm...

Yanyan said caringly: "This is grandma~ This is Aunt Xinxin~"

Zou Jiaxin was surprised: "There is also Aunt Xinxin."

"Yes, yes." Yanyan nodded repeatedly.

Zou Jiaxin was very happy looking at the colorful pattern of people: "Let's frame it!"

"Ah?" Xie Luoshu was surprised. "No need for that."

"This is a family portrait." Ye Wenliu was more and more satisfied with it, although it was difficult to tell who was who at first glance with so many people around. "Of course I have to frame it and hang it in the living room."

"This is Yanyan's homework." Xie Luoshu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Yanyan has to hand it in to the teacher tomorrow."

"Then tell the teacher," Ye Wenliu asked, "whether you can bring the homework back when the time comes."

"Okay." Xie Luoshu compromised. The dark history of the baby must be preserved intact.

I also need to frame it and hang it in the living room. I wonder what Yanyan will think when she sees it when she grows up.

Xie Luoshu didn't know what Yanyan would think in the future, but Yanyan was very happy now: "Want to hang it up?"

"Yes." Ye Wenliu nodded, looked around, and pointed at the empty space above the TV. "How about this?"

"Okay!" Yanyan nodded.

"Let me bring over the Lulu painting I drew earlier." Zou Jiaxin clapped his hands.

"Okay." Ye Wenliu gestured with his fingers, "These two paintings are just right."

"Mom, that's not necessary." Lulu's expression froze.

"Of course I want it." Zou Jiaxin patted her son, "Mom has kept it well. I'll bring it over tomorrow."

Lulu sighed. Although he was good at taking photos, his painting skills were...hard to describe.

Zou Jiaxin: "Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed. Lulu and Yanyan are sleeping together?"

"Yes, Yanyan's bed is big enough for two children. Sister Xin can sleep at our house tonight as well. It's troublesome to walk around."
