Lin Yi is not idle this Spring Festival. He has a major task to complete.
At Ms. Gu Changge's suggestion, he had already agreed to arrange a meeting with his parents, and had made arrangements with the two at home.
In order to express the importance of this party, Yu Xiujuan insisted on setting the meeting place in Yuezhou.
Yu Xiujuan and Lin Guoqing are usually not very particular about what they wear. They have now moved out of their previous community, but when they go back occasionally, they do not violate the rules by mixing among the old neighbors.
If they were not introduced separately, it would be difficult for outsiders to imagine that these two simple old people are actually the parents of billionaires.
But it was different today. Lafayette took it very seriously and gave himself and Lin Guoqing a grand new outfit.
Sure enough, wearing such expensive things on my body makes me feel a little awkward when walking, and I'm worried that I might get scratched or rubbed somewhere.
Lin Yi left them all alone. The life of wealth was not an unbearable burden. Anyone could adapt to it. It was just a matter of getting used to it.
I tried to persuade them not to be too frugal in the past, but it didn't work, but this time I finally got around to it.
The place where they met in Yuezhou was a high-end restaurant. Lin Bingding was recommended by Gu Caiwei. It was said to be a famous and time-honored restaurant.
Lin Yi told Ms. Gu Changge that he would pick her up in person, so he naturally did not forget it and was prepared in this way.
However, the latter politely declined. As a result, when Lin Yi picked them up at the door of the restaurant, the driver was actually Zhou Zecheng.
Lin Yi was a little surprised. Gu Caiwei said that no one else in the family would come today, and it would be her and her mother. Unexpectedly, there was one more person.
But soon, when Lin saw Gu Caiwei, she winked at him.
In any case, let’s welcome the person in first. Father Lin, who had been waiting inside for a long time, and Mother Lin quickly got up when they saw the person coming in. Both parties greeted each other.
Lin Yi briefly mentioned to them before that Zhou Zecheng and Ms. Gu Changge were divorcing, but it didn't seem strange that they were here today as Gu Caiwei's parents.
After sitting down, Lin Yi announced that the dishes would be passed around.
Not many people came today, so he didn't arrange it too extravagantly. It was just an ordinary small table, which was convenient for them to talk.
"If you don't greet me well, please take care of me, Father and Mother."
"No, to say so is to be a foreigner. Everyone should treat it as one of their own family."
Both sides behaved very politely.
"We were lucky enough to meet Gu's mother twice before. At that time, we thought it was no wonder she had such a daughter. But today, when we met Gu's father, we realized that it is the powerful combination of your two genes."
"Excuse me. Lin Yi and Xiaowei are so close to each other. It's all because of Father Lin and Mother Lin."
Parents usually have a preference for the appearance of their children, and Ms. Yu Xiujuan did not think that the other party was exaggerating. Lin Yi was already handsome.
Follow me.
Ms. Yu Xiujuan remembered something and said with a smile: "As for Xiao Gu's appearance, of course she is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life."
"But back then, the first time I saw her was in a painting. Lin Yi was so secretive that he thought I didn't know."
"At that time, I thought that this girl is really good-looking, and she looks good and can draw well."
These words were obviously arranged by her, and Lin Yike did not hide it, but naturally he would not argue.
Under her reminder, Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei thought of this youthful past at the same time, as if it was yesterday, and looked at each other with smiles.
"Oh, there's this other thing?"
Ms. Gu Changge knew about that painting, and she remembered it as soon as she recalled it. However, she did not expect that Gu Caiwei's self-portrait was given to Lin Yi.
The atmosphere between the two parties became warm very quickly.
Zhou Zecheng and Gu Changge have much more experience in dealing with people, and Lin Guoqing and Yu Xiujuan are not difficult people to get along with.
"Dad Gu traveled extensively and was very knowledgeable when he was young."
"No, it should be said that I was struggling in business and paid a lot of tuition fees."
"That's so humble. I'm about the same age as you. I know how difficult it was to do something at that time, let alone such a big undertaking."
"When it comes to career, Lin Yi's career is much bigger. This is thanks to Lin's father's teachings since childhood. In fact, I have always been curious about how such a child is raised."
"We have never taught him anything. It's all Lin Yi who came up with it on his own. Dad Gu has more experience, so I might as well teach him more when I have time. I'm always afraid that he will get carried away at a young age and get too carried away..."
The two of them were chatting and seemed to be exchanging business blows. Lin Yi, who was the subject of the conversation, did not participate in it and allowed them to do their own thing.
All in all, today's meeting seemed to go well. Lin Yi and Gu Caiwei didn't need to worry too much. Instead, they were the most serious about eating.
But it's not over yet.
Towards the end, the two fathers, who were exchanging compliments, somehow brought the topic to wine.
Lin Guoqing usually only drinks a few drinks at home and does not drink too much. Zhou Zecheng inevitably has a lot of social activities due to business needs, but what they were talking about today was a famous Yuezhou wine.
"Ner'erhong is rice wine made from glutinous rice. In the past, according to our custom, a daughter was buried in the ground when she was born and then taken out when she got married. It is of great significance."
Gu Caiwei asked curiously: "Do I also have such a jar of wine? Why didn't I know?"
Zhou Zecheng looked at her fondly: "Modern people are not so particular. Yuezhou rice wine is not a rare thing. You can drink it at any time."
"But as I get older, I can understand this feeling of licking a calf more and more, and I felt it for a moment."
Lin Guoqing said: "Of course, as long as a parent is alive, he will inevitably have to make plans for his children. We are all the same on this point."
"Father Gu, Mom Gu, today we came to visit from Lin'an and saw your tutor and your love for your daughter."
"Our son Lin Yi has been lovingly together with Xiao Gu for so many years, and he can almost be regarded as someone you have watched grow up."
"Xiao Gu's excellence is obvious to all. If Lin Yi doesn't learn and make progress, then we parents will have no face and tell lies in front of you."
"Fortunately, he is still doing well and has made some achievements now. As his parents, we are so proud that we dare to boast here today that we have a good relationship with Xiao Gu."
"So, as Lin Yi's father, I would like to make a request. If you can trust him, can you entrust Xiao Gu to him for life? What do you two think?"
This statement did not surprise anyone.
The six people here knew the purpose of today's meal before they came. Lin Yi and others were mentally prepared for this.
Zhou Zecheng and Gu Changge looked at each other and they naturally had no objections.
At this time, no one expected that Gu Caiwei, who had been silent today, actually spoke:
