Gu Zhenting's birthday party only invited some family friends and close relatives and friends.
But it will be much grander than in previous years. He has always been a low-key person and keeps things simple every time. This year, he held a special banquet because something important was announced.
As for what this important thing is, the host family and the Hakka people know it very well.
Gu Yanzhi was forced to stand on the first floor to receive some uncles and elders. The person placed next to him was Wu Zitong.
With this kind of arrangement, the owner's thoughts can be seen at a glance.
"Brother Ayan, you have been busy all morning and haven't eaten anything. There is white fungus and lotus seed porridge in the kitchen. Why don't you go and eat something first to satisfy your hunger?"
Wu Zitong looked at the man next to him affectionately.
Today she is wearing a pink lace knee-length skirt and her hair is in a slightly mature bun. She is less childish and more gentle and generous like a future mistress.
The corners of Gu Yanzhi's lips sank, and he said softly: "No need."
Wu Zitong lowered his eyelashes slightly, and a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "The people here today are all elders. Brother Ayan, your state... is not good, it will offend people."
Gu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and there was a cold mist in his eyes: "What's my state?"
Wu Zitong still looked at him with a smile on his face. She liked this man so much that no matter how he talked to her in a weird way, she wouldn't care, because today is not only her cousin's birthday, but also her engagement party with him.
ah!
When her cousin told her this idea, she couldn't believe it. She didn't expect that the day she had been thinking about for so long would finally come.
For ordinary people, an engagement banquet may not be as important as a marriage certificate. However, this is the Gu family, a family at the top of the Lucheng pyramid, and an engagement banquet is equivalent to a contract written in black and white.
What does a contract mean to a businessman?
It's reputation, it's credibility.
It's the face they regard as life.
So, what if you are not loved?
Some people are loved, but they will never be recognized!

Gu Zhenting was dressed in a Tang suit today, with a rosy and festive face. His wife, Sheng Huilan, was wearing a modified Chinese cheongsam. She held his arm and stood together at the main seat, facing everyone.
The two held wine glasses and said words of thanks.
Gu Yanzhi was alone in the corner, a bottle of red wine was bottomed out, but he was still too conscious.
When Wu Zitong came over, he was thinking about something and didn't notice her affectionately taking the cup away from his hand: "Brother Ayan, you drink too much. Drinking too much wine will hurt your health."
Gu Yanzhi raised his eyes to glance at her, his eyes scarlet red: "Give me back the wine glass."
Wu Zitong pursed his lips and shook his head: "Brother Ayan, you really can't drink anymore!"
Gu Yanzhi sneered: "You want to control me? Who are you?"
Although he knew what he said was hurtful, Wu Zitong still persisted, put the hand holding the wine glass behind his back, and took a step back.
She knew why he was acting like this during this time.
Because Qin Sang disappeared.
She didn't know it at first, but just yesterday, Chen Qizhen told her that one of Qin Sang's endorsement contracts was due to be renewed, but it changed temporarily and the endorsement for the new quarter fell to other florets from Sun.
Not only that, she was nowhere to be found in the grand ceremony activities she originally participated in, as well as the investment promotion activities for the TV series.
She inquired through insiders, and the result given by Sun Company was that Qin Sang was going to take a long vacation, and the return date was undetermined.
But as her boyfriend, Mo Sen is away filming, and Qin Sang's career is in a steadily improving stage. No normal person would choose this time to go out alone for a vacation with an undetermined return date!
So, there must be something going on here.
By virtue of the Gu family's connections in Lucheng, Wu Zitong had already entered the circle of famous ladies and wealthy daughters in Lucheng. Therefore, at an afternoon tea with a wealthy family, he and Chen Qizhen, who attended the tea together, "hit it off"!
Gu Yanzhi suddenly burst out laughing like crazy: "What a bunch of crazy people! Qin Sang is crazy, and you are crazy too! Am I so good? So good that you shamelessly marry someone who doesn't even want to look at you?
"
Wu Zitong bit his lip, his eyes were filled with water, and he was about to cry.
Her love was humble, but at a time like today, when he said it so bluntly, she felt ashamed and embarrassed, and she was still like a ferocious beast breaking through the embankment and running wildly!
Sheng Huilan searched for a long time before she found the two of them somewhere in the garden.
But as soon as they got closer, they noticed something was wrong. One of them was drunk, and the other was full of pear blossoms.
"Ayan, it's okay for you to fool around in normal times, but you don't know what day it is today?!"
With that said, he walked to Wu Zitong's side to comfort him: "Be good! Stop crying~~ I put on such beautiful makeup today. If you cry again, your makeup will be wasted!"
Wu Zitong's eyes turned red and he tried hard to hold back his tears. The more she behaved like this, the more Sheng Huilan felt distressed. At the same time, she snapped at Gu Yanzhi: "Don't forget how you promised me in the ward!"
Gu Yanzhi smiled crazily: "What day is it today?"
He glanced at his mother in a funny way, and then at his father who was having fun with the guests in the distance, and the words: "Today is your son's memorial day" suddenly turned around in his mouth!
He stood up expressionlessly, picked up the coat he had taken off and staggered toward the inner room.
Sheng Huilan gave Wu Zitong a look, and Wu Zitong immediately understood and followed her. He wanted to help someone, but was pushed away, and in the end he could only follow step by step.

After Mawson finished his ten-day shooting mission in the mountains, the first thing he did was to find the Internet and turn on his phone.
But, what a pity.
The chat history between him and Qin Sang still stayed on that day, the emoticon of a blowing kiss she sent.
In such a long time, she didn't take the initiative to send a message, didn't complain about not being able to see him, didn't share her life, and didn't even have an expression.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't disappointed. He really wanted to feel the feeling of being needed by her, missed by her, and cared about by her.
But, so what?
He comforted himself.
It was he who first said that he would be disconnected from the Internet for a period of time.
She is not a clingy girlfriend to begin with!
Thinking of this, the corners of his lips curved again.
[I traveled back from primitive times, cool/emoji]
After he sent this message, he held his phone tightly and waited for her reply.
It's not like other artists who chat with various friends and relatives or surf the Internet as soon as they have the Internet.
However, ten minutes passed.
She didn't reply.
Maybe he's busy.
She also has a lot of work, including advertising and endorsements, and filming movies and magazines. It is possible that she is so busy that she doesn't even have time to look at her phone.
An hour passed.
She seems to be really busy today. I wonder if she has time to stop for a meal.
One day passed.
There is still no movement at all on her WeChat interface.
Messages from other people came in one by one, like the number of people crossing the river, and scrolling down a list was full of numbers and red dots.
Mo Sen began to feel uneasy. He went to ask Su Xiaohe. Su Xiaohe had been put on a long vacation and returned to his hometown. He was hesitating and couldn't explain clearly.
She didn't know it, because she went back to her hometown the day before Qin Sang left.
Mo Sen called Zhang Xia again. Zhang Xia was very busy. The little princess was now famous by her. She had to run activities, which was very troublesome. She didn't call him until the evening.
"She didn't tell you?"
Mo Sen's face was pale. He didn't know whether it was the low temperature in the countryside at night that made him lose color, or whether it was the moonlight that was too bright, making him look particularly lifeless.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, as if trying to smile, "What's wrong with her?"
"I went to relax. I don't know what happened, and I didn't tell her even if I asked. I've applied for it from above about the company's situation. Even if it's a long vacation for her, I don't know exactly when she'll be back!"
A piece of Mo Sen's heart was gouged out with a sharp knife. At this moment, he was sitting on a stone soaked by rain and dew under the moonlight. He didn't know how long he had been sitting. His bones and joints were all numb. He was also bitten by a mosquito.
No sense at all.
"Where did it go, do you know?"
His voice was unexpectedly calm, just like the white ash left after the brocade silk was burned, cold and empty.
Maybe he heard something was wrong, Zhang Xia frowned: "I didn't say that. But the country is so big, and you can't go anywhere! Maybe you will come back after a while! Don't worry.
,It’s okay! How are you filming over there?”
Mo Sen lowered his head, said "hmm" after a long time, and then silently lowered his phone.
Knew it.
He smiled lightly with curved lips.
The eyes were as dark as dusk.
When did you first realize something was wrong with her?
When you always take the initiative to seduce him?
Or when you lie next to him and feel yourself with his hands?
Maybe, earlier?
So her proposal to go out to play was actually a long-planned farewell to him.
She thought that by giving herself to him, they were no longer together...
She was indeed a cruel woman, and she gave him so many misunderstandings that he thought she really started to like him!
It turned out to be all my own wishful thinking.
So, did she just have a playful mentality from the beginning?
Seeing that he was interesting and sensing his liking, she became interested in teasing him. Is she like this with every man who admires her?
Watching others being played around by her, and then leaving on her own?
How could it be so cruel?
He loves her so much that he wishes he and she were the only ones left in the world.

But this earth will not stop turning just because someone leaves. The colorful world can continue to be wonderful without anyone.
Three months later, the movie "The Long Night" was completed.
Six months later, the box office of "The Long Night" exceeded 100 million on its first day!
The crew of The Long Night held a celebration party, and Moson was given alcohol until the liquid filled his lungs. After returning home, he vomited non-stop and almost vomited out bile.
Six and a half months later, Mawson committed suicide at home.
The news that someone was discovered and rushed to the hospital topped the trending searches on major social platforms, and once paralyzed the servers of several major platforms. The popularity remained high for a week in a row.
Are you still paying attention to me in a certain corner of this world?
