"Gu Ling, Doudou?" Chai Yanxin said that he was in trouble, how could he always meet the two masters and servants?
Gu Ling saw Chai Yan, walked out of the house and asked: "Chai Yan, are you here to see my father? He hasn't come back yet..."
"Ah?" Chai Yan was stunned, and immediately raised his head to look at the door plaque above, and then said: "Gu Mansion..."
Only then did Chai Yan realize: "Is this your home?"
Gu Ling walked up to Chai Yan, also glanced at the door plaque, and said matter-of-factly: "What do you mean, if it's not my home, it can be your home?"
Doudou covered her mouth and snickered, wondering, can't you even see such a big door plaque?
Gu Ling understood when she saw Chai Yan's expression and said, "So you're not here to find my father..."
"I just happened to pass by..." Chai Yan said while feeling strange, why hasn't Master Gu come back yet?
Gu Ling asked: "Where are you going?"
Chai Yan glanced at the front of the street and replied: "Go to the market and buy something..."
Gu Ling said: "It just so happens that we are going too, let's go, together..."
Chai Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go together."
So, the three of them walked to the market street together.
Chai Yan first asked some gossip, and then turned the topic to Gu Zhengbang.
"Miss Gu, the Chinese New Year will be here in a blink of an eye. Didn't Mr. Gu send someone back with a letter?" Chai Yan asked with concern.
Gu Ling, however, didn't look worried and said, "Why are you anxious? It's not the New Year yet... Don't worry, my dad will return to Beijing on time!"
Doudou also nodded in agreement: "Young lady is right, every time I go to Beijing on business, I will come back in time before the Chinese New Year."
When Chai Yan saw this, he didn't ask any more questions. His family wasn't in a hurry, so why was he anxious?
After walking for a while, Doudou pointed to a restaurant in front and said to Gu Ling: "Miss, look, Chunyu Restaurant is just ahead..."
Chai Yan looked around and found the signboard of "Chun Yu Restaurant" and asked, "Miss Gu is so elegant. I wonder what delicious food this restaurant is famous for?"
"No..." Doudou said, "Miss is here for the banquet!"
"Going to the banquet?" Chai Yan looked at Gu Ling curiously.
Gu Ling's expression was indifferent and she asked: "Do you still remember my distant cousin? He was the one who was drunk last time and you helped him send him back to the Imperial College..."
"Remember, Kuang Zhiwei, Brother Kuang..." Chai Yan nodded in response.
Gu Ling also nodded: "Today is his twenty-fifth birthday. He held a banquet in Chunyu Tower for his classmates and friends, and he called me. I was embarrassed not to go..."
After saying that, Gu Ling sighed and shook her head, obviously she didn't want to go.
Chai Yan immediately smiled and said: "Then drink two more drinks and say happy birthday to your cousin for me..."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived in front of Chunyu Tower.
Just as Chai Yan was about to separate from Gu Ling and Doudou, a scholar from Chunyu Tower trotted over to greet him.
"Cousin, you have finally arrived. Cousin, I can almost see through my eyes..."
The scholar who came was Kuang Zhiwei, who wanted to get Chai Yan drunk that day, but was later drunk by Chai Yan instead.
Kuang Zhiwei's tone of voice and overly earnest expression immediately gave Gu Ling goosebumps. She couldn't help but shake her body and said, "Cousin, can you speak properly?"
Doudou hid behind the young lady and couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
"Brother Chai, why are you here?"
Kuang Zhiwei noticed that Chai Yan was also there, and immediately frowned. This was the second time he saw his cousin and this man together. It seemed that the relationship between them was not as simple as they said!
While he was unhappy that Chai Yan came uninvited, Kuang Zhiwei remembered the day when he lost in a drinking fight with Chai Yan.
Ever since he was drunk into a puddle and was sent back to the Imperial Academy that day, his reputation as "the one who never fails to drink a thousand cups" has been ruined!
At this time, Chai Yan smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Brother Kuang, I heard that today is your birthday. I wish you a happy birthday. May you have this day every year and this day every year!"
"Thank you Brother Chai for your kind words!" Kuang Zhiwei immediately put on a smile and returned the courtesy politely.
After saying the auspicious words, Chai Yan was about to say goodbye and leave, but was pulled back by Kuang Zhiwei: "Brother Chai, what are you doing? You're here already, why don't you go in and have a glass of wine?"
"Uh... I just happened to be passing by, so I won't disturb Brother Kuang's birthday party. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first, haha..."
After saying that, Chai Yan was about to leave.
Chai Yan didn't want to go in. Kuang Zhiwei felt that he didn't like him, but it wasn't like he didn't know it. Moreover, it was full of his classmates and friends, and they might soon attack him collectively.
This wine doesn’t taste good!
But Kuang Zhiwei had no intention of letting Chai Yan go, and blocked him again with two big steps, and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, this is wrong of you! This is not giving Zhi Wei face.. .....Cousin, please persuade Brother Chai!"
Chai Yan hates hearing this kind of thing the most. I'm not familiar with you, so why should I give you face? Who are you?
But at this moment, Gu Ling's heart moved, and she suddenly stepped forward to help: "My cousin is right! Chai Yan, this is your fault. Today is my cousin's 25th birthday. He invited me so kindly. It’s okay if you don’t go. You might as well go in and have a drink, it won’t take up much of your time..."
Damn it, come again?
Chai Yan knew at a glance that Gu Ling was up to something evil again. Last time he used himself as a shield, and this time he would probably do the same!
"My cousin is absolutely right, come on, brother Chai, please..."
Before he finished speaking, Chai Yan was pulled into Chunyu Tower by the "enthusiastic" Kuang Zhiwei.
Gu Ling and Doudou looked at each other, suppressed their laughter and followed Chun Yulou.
Today, the entire second floor of Chunyu Building was occupied by Kuang Zhiwei, and a total of ten tables were set up for the banquet. Except for Gu Ling and Chai Yan, the guests were all classmates and friends of the Imperial College.
At Gu Ling's request, Chai Yan was placed at her table, with Doudou sitting on her left and Chai Yan sitting on the right.
When Kuang Zhiwei went to greet other guests, Chai Yan asked in a low voice: "Hey, what are you doing! Why did you bring me in?"
Gu Ling asked calmly: "Have you had lunch?"
"No......."
"Are you hungry?"
"A little bit..."
Gu Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Then we'll get married. We don't have to pay any part of the money. We can eat and drink for free. Why aren't you happy..."
Chai Yan rolled his eyes and snorted: "Who cares? I don't lack this kind of food..."
With that said, Chai Yan wanted to sneak away from the other side while Kuang Zhiwei wasn't paying attention.
Gu Ling immediately patted Doudou next to him and ordered: "Doudou, hold him, don't let him run away!"
Doudou was stunned for a moment, then stood up and ran to Chai Yan, grabbing Chai Yan's shirt without saying a word.
So, Gu Ling and Doudou watched Chai Yan from left to right.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Chai Yan asked with a look of despair: "Miss Gu, what do you want to do?"
Gu Ling frowned and looked unhappy. He looked around the second floor of the restaurant and said seriously: "Look at this place. Apart from you, there is no one I know well... If you leave like this, I will be in trouble." How embarrassing!”
