Chapter 221 Reunion Banquet

Gu Han was about to lose his temper. Seeing this, Gu Chuang quickly pulled Gu Han's lapel, winked at him, and gestured to his parents and Mr. Gu sitting at the other table, hinting him to pay attention to his propriety.

Come to think of it, Mr. Gu's majesty in the Gu family still exists. No matter who he is, he would not dare to make a mistake in front of him. If the old man really gets angry, he will be thunderous and not easy to offend.

Gu Han endured it and gritted his molar teeth. Gu Chuang picked up the wine glass and touched it with him to save some face. He took a depressed sip, his eyes always glaring at Wang Song, secretly lucking out.

Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Gu called Ye Qingrou and Wang Song over. Seeing Ye Qingrou, Mr. Gu couldn't help but sighed with emotion: "Over the years, I, Ye Laozui, Jin Laohua and Wang Laowang

Personally, we just drink tea, play bridge and chess together when we have nothing to do. Now that Mr. Ye is gone, there are only three of us left. We are not in the mood to play anything. We even meet less often than before.

Too much."

What Mr. Gu said is no exaggeration, and the metaphor is just right. The old man of the Ye family is upright and stubborn, and he deserves the name of Ye Laozui. The old man of the Jin family is very thoughtful and sees problems in the long term, so everyone calls him Jin Laohua.

Wang Song's grandfather was nicknamed Wang Laolian because of his gentle temper and taciturn temperament.

Li Yuanlang was curious, what was Mr. Gu's name? He looked like a child when he was in trouble, and he looked worried about the country and the people, and he had the spirit of an older generation of revolutionaries. He could be mature at one moment, and childish at another, like an old naughty boy.

The four old men are similar in age and have worked together in the same group. They are familiar with each other and have similar personalities. After retiring from important positions, they get together every now and then and get along harmoniously. Now that Mr. Ye is no longer here, the other three elders do not have this either.

Thoughtful.

Mentioning the death of Mr. Ye, everyone present was in awe, especially Ye Qingrou, whose eye circles became hot and her eyes suddenly dimmed. When Mr. Gu saw this, he immediately changed the subject and blamed himself: "I shouldn't be celebrating the New Year.

It’s interesting to think about these sad things. Girl from the Ye family, I wanted to bring you and Xiaohan together at the beginning, thinking that our two families would become relatives. But I didn’t expect that you young people had no intention of doing so. I thought that this would be the end of my life.

I won’t have this chance. I really didn’t expect that through your brother, we are relatives within relatives. And Wang Song, when I see Wang Laowen in the future, I will tell him that we are still relatives in a roundabout way.”

Wang Song responded respectfully with a smile: "Grandpa Gu, when I came here, my grandfather also asked me to toast you a glass of wine alone. You can do whatever you want." After that, Wang Song held the cup to the sitting man with both hands.

Mr. Gu saluted, raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass.

Mr. Gu is getting old, and the health doctor has warned him not to drink too much. But the wine on the table tonight is the liquor brewed by Guojia Winery that Li Yuanlang brought from home. It is brewed with pure grains.

Li Yuanlang chose low-alcohol white wine, and specially brought wild grapes grown in the mountains to Mr. Gu. Through natural fermentation, there is no alcohol blending, and it has only about ten alcoholic contents. This kind of wild wine helps soften blood vessels and nourishes, etc.

Drinking more is harmful to the body, but drinking less is good for you. Mr. Gu was so happy that he drank half of the five-cent wine cup, which was considered a great favor to Wang Song.

Unexpectedly, Wang Song did not agree with it and said reluctantly: "Grandpa Gu, you have to drink half of it."

Oh? Everyone was surprised by Wang Song's attitude. Li Yuanlang was so anxious that he wanted to stop as soon as he was satisfied, but Wang Song smiled and said: "Grandpa Gu, this half glass of wine is not what I want to treat you to." , it was my grandpa who asked me to send you a message. He asked you if you hid your horse the last time you played chess?"

"Hahaha..." Mr. Gu looked up to the sky and laughed when he heard this. He pointed at Wang Song's nose and scolded: "This old Wang is wilted. Time has passed and he still hasn't forgotten this. Go back and tell your grandpa that he can't play chess." I don't want to make excuses, why should I still use Kurama? Even if I give him a chariot, horse and cannon, I can still beat him." As he said this, Mr. Gu drank half of the glass of wine with a smile.

Wang Song's words were very helpful to Mr. Gu, and he was in an extremely good mood. Seeing that Mr. Gu was in such a good mood, the Gu family also became happy.

Li Yuanlang took advantage of the opportunity to coax Mr. Gu and said a few words of blessing. The old man also drank a small drink to save his face, and took out a big red envelope, held it in his hand and said with a smile: "Yuan Long, I will give you this red envelope." I have been preparing it for many years but have not given it away. I am just waiting for the day when I have a grandson-in-law and call me grandpa. I will give this red envelope to you today as a meeting gift."

The Chinese call this money to change one's mouth, and even a high-ranking family like the Gu family is not exempt from this custom.

Li Yuanlang took it with respectful hands, bowed deeply to Mr. Gu, and said, "Thank you, grandpa, then I will accept it shamelessly."

Later, Li Yuanlang handed the red envelope to Shui Tingyue who was next to him. Gu Zhenggang saw this scene and jokingly said: "Yuen Long, Xiaoyue hasn't even passed the door yet, you have handed over the financial power to her." .I see, you will definitely be a strict wife in the future. Be careful if you are controlled, you will never be able to turn around in your life."

After he finished speaking, his wife beside him was so angry that she slapped him in the face, blaming him for teaching Li Yuanlang bad things again.

"Second uncle, being strict with your wife is not a disease. If it is a disease, it is a disease of loving your wife." Since he was familiar with Gu Zhenggang, and he knew that Gu Zhenggang had an easy-going personality, Li Yuanlang naturally spoke casually.

This made the cheeks of Shui Tingyue next to her turn red. She couldn't help but clenched her small fist and lightly punched Li Yuanlang's arm. She said coquettishly: "I hate it. You are talking nonsense. Who is your wife?"

"It's not true now, but it will be true sooner or later in the future." Li Yuanlang was delighted.

Afterwards, Li Yuanlang toasted to Gu Zhengchuan and Gu Zhenggang respectively, and naturally received two big red envelopes.

When it was Shui Qingzhang and Gu Hongyan's turn, Li Yuanlang bowed deeply to them, pondered for a while and finally blurted out the words "Dad, Mom".

"Haha, okay, Yuen Long, I have been waiting for this day for a long time. Xiaoyue's mother and I sincerely hope that you can be happy together. Xiaoyue is a child who has been spoiled since she was a child and loves to play tricks. If you can tolerate her, be more tolerant of her. , if you can’t tolerate it, just tell me and I’ll talk to her.”

Shui Qingzhang has always hoped that his daughter would get married, but he was a little reluctant to let his daughter get engaged. Only when you raise a child can you know the heart of your parents. Parents in the world are all the same. Everyone thinks that their children are good and will live happily in the future. He is willing to let his children suffer injustice. Even though Shui Qingzhang is open-minded enough, he still cannot avoid selfishness when it comes to his daughter. When he said these words, there was inevitably an element of favoritism mixed in.

Gu Hongyan on the side expressed his true intention more openly: "What does it mean to be tolerant if you can tolerate it? You have to be tolerant at all. Men need to be more generous. Li Yuanlang, you must do this. You shouldn't care about women, let alone

There is no reason to argue."

Yes, Li Yuanlang thought to himself, his future mother-in-law is a woman who has no reason to explain.

"Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? It seems like you are describing your daughter as an unreasonable shrew. I am not that kind of person." Shui Tingyue said white to her parents, and the boss was not happy.

Li Yuanlang immediately expressed his position and said: "Please rest assured that my kindness to Tingyue is not just words. From now on, it depends on my actions."

Witnessed by everyone, the engagement ceremony of Li Yuanlang and Shui Tingyue came to a successful conclusion. The meal was in a good atmosphere and took nearly two hours to end.

Even though Gu Han had been competing with Wang Song, he didn't dare to get angry because Mr. Gu and Gu Zhengchuan were present. Even when he left the table, he didn't know what Wang Song and Ye Qingrou whispered to each other. Anyway, he and Gu Chuang left first.

Ye Qingrou, accompanied by Wang Song, said goodbye to everyone present one by one. Especially when she was separated from Li Yuanlang, Ye Qingrou made an appointment with her brother. After finishing her work here in two days, she would take her brother and sister-in-law to have a good time in the capital.

Play and visit the scenic spots and historic sites in Beijing.

The Gu family all stay in the old man's yard. There are plenty of rooms anyway, so staying there is not a problem.

Shui Qingzhang's family was arranged in another small courtyard, Shui Qingzhang, his wife and Shui Tingyue lived in the main room, and Li Yuanlang was arranged in the west wing.

Li Yuanlang walked in. The house was decorated in an antique style and was divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The outside room was the living room. There was a bed at the door with pink sheets and bedding on it.

The inner room is the bedroom. There is a canopy bed, also covered with clean and tidy bedding. There are desktops and laptops on the table, and there is an air conditioner blowing warm air.

The bedroom also has a separate bathroom with shower, bathtub and toilet. The right combination of modern and antique style gives people a sense of comfort.

The staff serving here had already laid out the quilt and put out the bath water. Li Yuanlang tested the water temperature and found that it was just right.

To be honest, tonight is the day of his and Shui Tingyue's engagement, and it feels like a newlywed. Without the sweetheart beside him on the pillow, something will inevitably be missing, making him look lonely and lonely.

There was no way, Shui Qingzhang and especially Gu Hongyan were strict with Shui Tingyue. On the way here just now, Shui Tingyue secretly whispered to Li Yuanlang and wanted to sneak out for a tryst at night. Only halfway through the conversation, she was ruthlessly stopped by Gu Hongyan.

She was afraid that her daughter would be bullied by Li Yuanlang and make Li Yuanlang dumbfounded.

After soaking in the warm bathtub, his whole body felt relaxed, his fatigue disappeared, and he felt extremely comfortable. Unknowingly, Li Yuanlang narrowed his eyes and dozed off.

He was really tired. He was one of the protagonists in tonight's family dinner. During the dinner, he drank a lot of wine after receiving congratulations from all parties. In addition, he took a two-hour flight and has not been idle since landing. Li Yuanlang

I was so sleepy that I couldn't help but fall asleep...
