She handed Gu Niannian a gold card: "Niannian, Tingyu's father met you just now, and he recognized you. This card is a meeting gift from him."
Lin Caiqing's voice was soft.
Gu Niannian: "..."
She was a little dazed. From the beginning to the end, Father Wen didn't say a word to her except for a look at her, and he just recognized it.
Seeing that Gu Niannian didn't answer, Lin Caiqing put the card directly into Gu Niannian's hand: "Niannian, you may not be used to it. Tingyu's father is like this. All his thoughts are on business. Apart from me, no matter it is
I rarely talk to the old man or the court, so don’t mind."
"Auntie, of course I don't mind." Gu Niannian quickly expressed her position.
Lin Caiqing smiled softly: "That's good. It just so happens that the whole family is back now. When all the guests have left, everyone can get together and drink tea."
Gu Niannian nodded.
Later, she thought of something again and asked nervously: "Auntie, um, that uncle doesn't like me, right?"
Although Lin Caiqing just said that Father Wen recognized her, Gu Niannian was afraid that it was just a polite statement.
Lin Caiqing's voice was affirmative: "Don't worry, Nian Nian, it won't happen."
Only then did Gu Niannian's heart drop.
She thought that Wen Tingyu's father was really a strange man.
＊＊＊＊
Later, the guests all dispersed.
Mr. Wen likes to drink tea, and everyone in the Wen family happened to be there at this time. They all gathered together with Mr. Wen at a big round table to drink tea.
To be honest, from the beginning to the end of the birthday, Gu Niannian felt that it really didn't feel like a birthday, but more like a party or even a dance.
But it was only now that the birthday was over and everyone in the Wen family gathered together to drink tea that Gu Niannian felt that this was the right way to celebrate the old man's birthday.
But later, Gu Niannian saw Wen Rongzhi.
Wen Rongzhi seemed to have not seen her and kept his eyes elsewhere.
Gu Niannian suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She had always regarded Wen Rongzhi as a friend, but Wen Rongzhi seemed not to be so at the moment.
When everyone in the Wen family gathered together, although she and Wen Rongzhi were innocent, she still felt awkward for no reason.
Especially Mr. Wen, who looked at Wen Rongzhi from time to time, and then at Gu Niannian, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Gu Niannian forced herself to change her mind.
She and Wen Rongzhi were originally innocent, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
Thinking of this, Gu Niannian felt a lot relieved.
She turned her attention to Wen Tingyu's father again.
She discovered that Lin Caiqing really didn't lie to her, and Wen Tingyu's father really didn't say much.
From beginning to end, Father Wen didn't say anything. Even when Wen Tian chatted with Father Wen, he just said a faint "hmm".
But Gu Niannian noticed one detail.
Father Wen's eyes always fell on Lin Caiqing's face, with a faint glimmer in his eyes.
Gu Niannian could tell that Father Wen really liked Lin Caiqing.
Logically speaking, Wen's father and Lin Caiqing have been together for so many years, and their son and daughter are so old that they don't see each other from time to time like young people.
But Wen's father could still do it, and he could even see his love and attachment for Lin Caiqing in his eyes.
Moreover, Father Wen seemed not to care about many things, such as his son suddenly having a wife and a son.
Ordinary people would have made a fuss, but Father Wen didn't have too many mood swings.
Father Wen didn't seem to care much, and didn't even show much enthusiasm for Wen Hui.
But only for Lin Caiqing, there was an unstoppable attachment to her eyes.
Gu Niannian lost her focus as she thought about it.
The tea cup in her hand suddenly shook, and then a little bit of tea fell on the back of her hand.
Fortunately, the tea was not too hot and Gu Niannian was not burned.
Gu Niannian stood up: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"Nian Nian, I want to follow you." Wen Hui, who was sitting on Wen Tingyu's lap, said loudly.
Gu Niannian touched Wen Hui's head: "Rei Hui, I am going only for girls, but you can't go."
Wen Hui's eyes rolled.
After a moment, he said childishly: "I understand, if you give me a younger sister if you give me a baby, my sister will be able to go to the bathroom with you."
His childlike words made everyone laugh, except Wen's father and Wen Rongzhi.
Even Mr. Wen's gray beard trembled.
Father Wen remained expressionless, while Wen Rongzhi stared at the teacup in his hand, looking absentminded.
Wen Tian also cheered: "Yes, Niannian, when will you give birth to a sister for Huihui?"
Gu Niannian blushed in embarrassment.
She stood up and walked shyly to the bathroom.
When she got to the bathroom, Gu Niannian washed her hands and walked out.
Suddenly, her footsteps stopped.
She saw Wen Rongzhi also walking this way.
The two looked at each other.
"Rong Zhi, long time no see." Gu Niannian first said hello to Wen Rongzhi.
Wen Rongzhi stared at Gu Niannian.
Then the corners of his lips suddenly raised sarcastically: "What should I call you now, sister-in-law?"
"Okay, this is a good title." Gu Niannian said.
Wen Rongzhi: "……."
He suddenly felt an unspeakable irony.
Although he knew from beginning to end that Gu Niannian had no feelings for him and had never wanted to be with him.
But seeing Gu Niannian and Wen Tingyu together, Wen Rongzhi still felt ironic.
"Nian Nian." Wen Rongzhi stared at Gu Niannian: "Do you remember when I was in the United States, when I came to find you, you just gave birth to Wen Hui, and you told me that you would never be with Wen Tingyu, but now
,What are you doing?"
His words were almost questioning.
Gu Niannian's eyelashes trembled slightly.
After a moment, she took a deep breath: "Rong Zhi, the past is in the past. There were many misunderstandings between Wen Tingyu and I, but they were just misunderstandings. It's all over now. We are fine now, and that's enough."
"Very good?" Wen Rongzhi said coldly: "Nian Nian, you guys had a good time before, but what happened in the end?"
"That's in the past, and we will always be fine in the future." Gu Niannian suddenly raised her voice.
Wen Rongzhi glanced at Gu Niannian up and down, his gaze was like a clairvoyant machine, as if he wanted to see through Gu Niannian.
"I hope I miss you, I hope." A trace of loneliness suddenly flashed across Wen Rongzhi's eyes.
"I'll go over there first." Gu Niannian hurriedly dropped these words and left.
After returning to the big round table, Wen Hui and Wen Tian were bickering there, and the table was full of laughter.
＊＊＊＊
The next day was the last day that Gu Niannian and Wen Tingyu stayed at the Wen family.
In the morning, when everyone in the Wen family was having dinner together, Mr. Wen suddenly said something.
"Tingyu, when will your wedding be held?" Mr. Wen asked as if casually. Everyone was slightly stunned, except for Mr. Wen, whose expression was as indifferent as ever.
