It didn't take long for Gu Xixi's birthday to come.

On this day, at the Gu family's dinner table.

"Sissy, your birthday is coming soon, and Daddy is going to throw you a birthday party. ”

Second Uncle Gu looked at Gu Xixi, but his tone didn't seem like he was talking to his daughter, as if he was giving orders to a subordinate.

Gu Xixi forced a smile, "Thank you, Dad." In fact, she knew in her heart that this was not asking for her own opinion, but just a notice.

"Nanfeng, you can see where this year's banquet will be held, and the venue is up to you to decide. ”

"I think it's okay to do it at home, and we still have three days to prepare. Gu Nanfeng said what was in his heart.

Second Uncle Gu thought about it and felt that this idea was feasible, "It's okay, then you can tell the people in the family to clean up the hall." ”

"I see. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two of them, Gu Xixi pursed her lips and looked aggrieved, but no one noticed that she lowered her head.

In fact, she has long been accustomed to such things and doesn't care about them.

Gu Xixi knew that the more she cared, she was the only one who was sad, not to mention, it had always been like this.

After a while, Second Uncle Gu said loudly: "After eating in a while, you go to the study with me to discuss the guests to be entertained." ”

"Good. ”

"Let's eat. ”

During the exchange, the two did not consider Gu Xixi's thoughts at all, nor did they say a word to her again.

It's as if this birthday party wasn't for her.

Indeed, it is true that her birthday party and Ye Qingqing's birthday banquet are two different concepts.

Ye Qingqing can spend a happy and beautiful day with his relatives and friends, and with the people he likes.

And Gu Xixi, her mechanical appearance, her birthday banquet, to put it bluntly, is a communication platform between the Gu family and people, and there is no intention to give her a long face, but to use this name to let the Gu family make more partners.

Meal.

Gu Nanfeng and Second Uncle Gu walked into the study one after the other.

Gu Xixi was left alone in the restaurant, and after seeing that the two of them were gone, she also put down the tableware in her hand.

After a meal, she didn't eat much, and when she walked to eat with such a father and brother, she felt that the atmosphere was not right, and her heart was depressed.

Perhaps, this is the reason why she likes to eat out, and maybe she is willing to explore food with Ye Qianqing, because only when she is with Ye Qianqing, she can eat a meal easily and happily.

Thinking of Ye Qianqing, her expression suddenly lit up.

"I can find Sister Ye to come to my birthday party. Gu Xixi thought silently.

It's just that I just heard the conversation between my father and my brother, and the list of people who should come to the banquet has not yet been decided, so it's not too late to ask later.

Upstairs study.

"Dad, we can refer to last year's list of people who invited. ”

"It's a good reference, but it needs to be slightly changed. Second Uncle Gu's voice makes people feel like a treacherous person when they hear it.

"I don't know, what do you want to change?" Gu Nanfeng asked.

"You can show me the list in a while, and after you have determined the number of people, you can print out the invitation card and send someone to send it out. ”

"I know, then Gu Beilin..." Speaking of this, Gu Nanfeng paused.

There was no need to wait for him to continue, Second Uncle Gu also understood what he meant.

"A person with inconvenient legs and feet, why invite him to our house to be embarrassed. In just two sentences, it was full of disdain for Gu Beilin.

But no matter how much he looked down on Gu Beilin, his sons were all defeated by Gu Beilin's subordinates.

"However, nominally we are all members of the Gu family, isn't it not good to do this?" Gu Nanfeng said cautiously, still secretly looking at Second Uncle Gu's face.

I only heard Second Uncle Gu snort coldly, "My relationship with him has already been brought to the fore, and there is no need to do some meaningless actions, but it seems to be redundant." ”

Hearing his words, the corners of Gu Nanfeng's mouth sneered, "That's what you said." ”

"As for Gu Xixi..."

As if remembering something, Second Uncle Gu mentioned Gu Xixi's name again.

"What's wrong with her?" Gu Nanfeng said puzzled.

"How old is she? Shouldn't she be close enough to get married?"

If these words hadn't come out of Second Uncle Gu's mouth with his own ears, he wouldn't dare to imagine that this was Gu Xixi's father, a father who couldn't even remember the age of his daughter.

And Gu Nanfeng naturally heard the meaning of his words, "It's almost." ”

"It's a good time to take this opportunity to see which one has a good person. I saw that Second Uncle Gu's eyes became deeper, and his eyes were full of indifference and calculation.

"Would you like to invite more people over?" Gu Nanfeng made a tentative sound.

"It's also a good choice if you can have a business marriage and get us a little benefit. He hooked his lips, and the mustache at the corners of his mouth moved with the corners of his mouth.

"I see. ”

The expressions of the two were almost the same, and the use of Gu Xixi was not disguised at all, as if Gu Xixi was not their relative, just an inconsequential tool.

"On the day of the banquet, remember to find a stylist to dress her up better, so as not to lose my face. The always sharp eyes, when Gu Xixi was mentioned, he unconsciously added a little disgust.

"You can rest assured that this matter will be handled by me. ”

At night.

Gu Xixi found Second Uncle Gu, "Dad, can I discuss something with you?"

"What's the matter?"

"I want Ye to come to my birthday party, is that okay? She whispered, perhaps worried that her request would be denied, and she hurriedly said the next sentence, "That's all I have to wish, okay?"

After listening to her words, Second Uncle Gu frowned.

For Ye Qianqing, I still have a little impression.

After thinking about it for a while, Second Uncle Gu nodded, "Well, I will ask Nanfeng to make one more invitation, and you can send it to him yourself when the time comes." ”

Hearing this, Gu Xixi was overjoyed, "Thank you, Dad." She really hopes that Ye Qianqing, the only one who regards her as a good friend, can come to her birthday party.

"If it's okay, just get out. Seeing that she had nothing else to do, Second Uncle Gu opened his mouth and gave an eviction order.

Gu Xixi tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a small smile, "Yes." Then he trotted back to his room.

She thinks that now she is also a person with good friends, and she no longer has to envy the friendship of others.

All night, Gu Xixi was immersed in such joy.

On the second day, she got the invitation to the banquet from Gu Nanfeng's hand, and when she asked Ye to go shopping again, she brought the invitation with her.
