Chapter 47 Happiness upon happiness
After washing up, Su Yiran went to the dressing room to change her clothes and then went downstairs to eat.
He Rui sat obediently in the dining room, eating his breakfast. When he saw Su Yiran come down, his eyes looked a little timid, but he still greeted her obediently, "Good morning, Auntie."
"morning."
Su Yiran sat down, picked up her sandwich and started eating, then realized someone was missing. "Where's your uncle?"
He Rui looked at her and pointed behind her.
Su Yiran looked in the direction he pointed and saw Gu Yanli coming down from upstairs.
Good morning, Uncle.
He Rui greeted them politely.
"morning."
Gu Yanli nodded indifferently, sat down next to Su Yiran, and handed her the milk next to him. "Drink it. I had the kitchen make you some wontons today. Eat more."
Su Yiran held the milk and drank it. It was sweet and delicious, and she couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
"Uncle, I want to eat wontons too."
He Rui looked at Gu Yanli and said, "I've never had wontons before. I've heard they're delicious. Can I have some?"
Su Yiran nodded, "Of course..."
"no!"
Gu Yanli glanced at the time and refused, "I need to be at school by 8:30. Let the kitchen prepare it tomorrow."
"..."
He Rui nodded, looking aggrieved, and continued eating his sandwich.
School?
Report?
Su Yiran looked at the dejected He Rui, then at Gu Yanli, "Go to school? Yanli, you're not a good uncle. How can you send him to school so soon after we arrived in Kyoto? You should at least let him rest for a couple of days first. I was thinking of taking Rui out for a walk today."
Upon hearing this, He Rui's eyes lit up. He looked at Su Yiran in disbelief, not expecting her to speak up for him. Then he glanced expectantly at Gu Yanli, "Uncle, I've never been to Kyoto before..."
“Your parents chose this school, so you can talk to them about it.”
Gu Yanli remained calm. After speaking, he looked at Su Yiran and said, "There is a banquet tonight. Come with me."
"Don't go!"
Su Yiran deliberately acted out of spite and said she wouldn't go, "Unless you let Arui rest today and then let him go to school tomorrow."
Gu Yanli remained unmoved. Seeing that He Rui had almost finished eating, he instructed someone to take him to school.
He didn't give Su Yiran a single glance the entire time.
"I've never seen such a heartless uncle before. I'm so glad I don't have one!"
Su Yiran paused, took a big bite of the sandwich, and almost choked because she took such a big bite.
Gu Yanli handed her the milk next to him, "Isn't that childish?"
"Not childish at all!"
Su Yiran drank some milk and then recovered. "They don't even know how to give me face in front of the younger generation. It's so annoying."
After eating the wontons, Su Yiran felt much better.
banquet.
7 p.m.
When the banquet arrived, there were many important figures. Although Su Yiran knew quite a few people in Kyoto, Gu Chengjing's circle was different from Gu Yanli's, and they were all unfamiliar faces.
“Mr. Gu, I don’t know any of these people. You didn’t even give me a list so I could get to know them beforehand, otherwise you’ll be the one who loses face later.”
"It's just a private get-together, don't overthink it."
Gu Yanli spoke softly.
Su Yiran had known Gu Yanli for quite some time, and this was the first time she had truly come into contact with his social circle.
I originally thought Gu Yanli was cold-hearted and wouldn't have many friends, but this situation is quite unexpected.
"Mrs. Gu!"
Su Yiran hadn't expected to see Wang Zeshen here. His eyes widened in disbelief, "So you're...you tricked me!"
Su Yiran looked at the exasperated man and raised her lips, "Mr. Wang, you've misunderstood me. When did I ever tell you that my husband isn't Gu Yanli?"
"I……"
Wang Zeshen was speechless, gritting his teeth, "You're just playing me for a fool!"
She never said she wasn't Mrs. Gu, but when he said yesterday that the man was his husband, she didn't say he wasn't either.
Gu Yanli looked at the two of them and pulled Su Yiran into his arms. "You two know each other?"
"know."
"do not know!"
The two spoke at the same time. Wang Zeshen looked at Su Yiran in shock and nodded, lowering his voice, "Ayan and I have a good relationship. Don't even think about ruining my relationship with him!"
"Since we have a good relationship, why are you afraid to admit that we know each other?"
Su Yiran smiled and raised an eyebrow.
Gu Yanli's eyes darkened, and he tightened his grip on her waist, his voice cold, "Is there a connection?"
Su Yiran gasped in pain, looked up and glared at him, "Yes!"
Gu Yanli pursed his lips tightly. "When did you meet?"
"yesterday."
"..."
Gu Yanli's face darkened as he recalled what Chen Lie had said to him last night. "You have terrible taste!"
"People always need to try something different."
Su Yiran reached out to pry Gu Yanli's hand off, but she couldn't budge it no matter what she did. So she gave up and looked at Wang Zeshen, "I think A-Shen is pretty good. He has a good personality, loves to talk, and is very good to me."
"No, we should know when to stop!"
Wang Ze frowned and looked at Gu Yanli. "We just met yesterday. She got into my car without permission, saying she was going to catch her cheating. I'm a good person and kind-hearted, so I helped her out. She turned around and accused me. It's a real-life version of the farmer and the snake. Yanli, you have such poor taste!"
"So, were they caught in the act?"
"Got it!"
"Won't you let me see it?"
"..."
Su Yiran looked up and met Gu Yanli's gaze, forcefully prying his hands away. "Boring!"
She left immediately, but before leaving, she disliked Wang Zeshen and, as she passed by him, pretended to accidentally step on his foot.
"what!"
Wang Zeshen gasped, staring at her retreating figure before turning to Gu Yanli. "Yanli, when did you meet this shrew...? Your taste is terrible. Are you sure she didn't force you into marriage?"
"It's better than you having nothing at all."
Gu Yanli said something indifferently, then turned and went back into the inner room.
This is a private banquet, and everyone brought along is their family. Three women make a drama, a group of women make a whole troupe.
A few people got together to play mahjong.
"Mrs. Gu, how did you and Mr. Gu meet? I suddenly heard that Mr. Gu got married a while ago, and it's been so long since then that he's finally willing to bring you out to let us meet him."
Mrs. Chen smiled and glanced at her belly, "Could it be that you're having a double celebration?"
One sentence woke everyone up, and someone immediately chimed in, "The first two months are the most unstable, so I've been keeping her at home. That's why I'm only willing to bring her out now. But men are all prone to cheating, and being pregnant gives them the perfect excuse, so we still need to be careful."
Su Yiran listened to their back-and-forth conversation with a calm expression and a slight smile. "Mr. Gu does want a child, but unfortunately my belly is not cooperating. However, I believe Mr. Gu is not that kind of person."
"A man's words are the least trustworthy!"
