"Do it yourself?"

Xia Yun pondered Li Zhongda's words of not knowing whether it was a warning or a lesson, and only after a while did he shake his head, walked into the courtyard, and closed the gate with his hand.

In the living room of the lobby, Gu Xiaolong was not there, I don't know if Lu Dao had already slept, Gu Xiaoying, Gu Ruotong and Zheng Wei were sitting on chairs chatting, mainly Gu Ruotong was saying, Gu Xiaoying and Zheng Wei were listening, Gu Xiaoying was so temperamental and didn't talk much, while Zheng Wei was a little uncomfortable.

After all, Gu Xiaoying is regarded by Xia Yun as her mother-in-law, and she is at the same level as Xia Yun's mother, and she can see herself with the posture of her mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, and it seems that Tongtong's feelings for Xia Yun are definitely not simple for her sister to her brother......

Coupled with the identity behind Gu Xiaoying and her graceful bearing, in this case, even Zheng Wei, who has a free and easy personality and has made up her mind not to consider marrying Xia Yun, is inevitably a little restrained.

Seeing Xia Yun come in, the three people in the room all looked at Xia Yun's body, Gu Xiaoying bowed his head slightly, Zheng Wei quietly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and Gu Ruotong looked behind Xia Yun with some unhappiness.

"Brother, what did that person say to you? How do I notice that every time you're there, he likes to talk to you? Tell me honestly, did you betray us? ”

Xia Yun shrugged his shoulders, ignored Gu Ruotong, sat down beside Gu Xiaoying honestly and unceremoniously, and said to Gu Xiaoying with some complaints, "Aunt Gu, is it really going to be so big for Tongtong and Xiaolong's birthday this time?" ”

Gu Xiaoying nodded, didn't shy away from anything in front of Zheng Wei, and said with a calm expression, "The old people of the two families have this meaning, take this opportunity to make a scene, when the two families move around more in the future, it will not be too much of an eyesore, and at the same time, it will be a ceremony." Officially announce the identities of Xiaolong and Tongtong to the outside world, and write their names into the family tree! ”

When Gu Xiaoying's family of three returned to the capital before, although everyone in the entire capital knew that Gu Xiaolong and Gu Ruotong were Li Zhongda's biological children, after all, they were not put on the table, and there was no official recognition from the two families, so it seemed that they were trying to announce it on the birthdays of the two of them!

"Write into the family tree? Is this an official confession of ancestors? ”

Xia Yun touched his chin and asked with some curiosity, "Which family's genealogy?" ”

Gu Xiaoying glanced at Gu Ruotong, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "Xiaolong was written into the genealogy of the Li family and recorded in his father's name, as for Tongtong, he was reluctant to write it into the genealogy of the Li family, Li Zhongda discussed it with me, and asked Tongtong to temporarily follow me in the name of the Gu family, and whose family she will record in the future depends on who she marries in the future!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he felt two strange eyes staring at him from the side, and then his mind flashed back to Li Zhongda's somewhat stinky face just now. and that sentence of self-reliance, Xia Yun suddenly felt a little inexplicable, and didn't dare to look back at Gu Ruotong and Zheng Wei, and laughed dryly. "Hey, Xiaolong entered the genealogy of the Li family, is it possible that he really wants to change his name to Bruce Lee in the future?"

Gu Xiaoying smiled and was about to speak. Gu Ruotong had already snorted with his teeth and claws, "If he dares to change his name to Bruce Lee, he can't take care of himself if he doesn't beat him." I'm not his own sister! ”

It seems that he can't be Bruce Lee's brother!

Xia Yun rolled her eyes, but still ignored her.

Gu Xiaoying also shook her head helplessly, took a stack of delicately shaped gilded invitations from the coffee table next to the chair and handed it to Xia Yun, "I heard Tongtong say that she wants to invite those college classmates of yours to the birthday party...... When the time comes, you come to entertain you, just to be your companion, Tongtong Xiaolong and I probably don't have much time! ”

Xia Yun nodded and took the invitation.

"I think so too, let me come to this kind of banquet alone, I'm not familiar with life, and I'm also very boring!"

……

Coming out of the Gu family's compound, it was almost half past ten, Xia Yun started the car and drove towards Zheng Wei's rental house, looking at Zheng Wei who was sitting in the passenger seat and was a little silent all the way.

"Mama Wei, you don't seem to talk much at night, it's not like your character!"

Zheng Wei came back to her senses and gave him an angry look, "What should I say?" Tell your Aunt Gu, I'm your ex-girlfriend? ”

Xia Yun thought about it, although Aunt Gu would not have any bad opinions about Zheng Wei, but Mama Wei's identity was indeed a little embarrassing in front of Aunt Gu, plus Tongtong's girl...... It's no wonder that Zheng Wei is a little restrained.

With a sneer, he was about to appease Zheng Wei, when he saw that she hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Xiao Xiazi! Tongtong's birthday party the day after tomorrow, can I regret not going now? ”

Xia Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course you can, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, I'll go alone!" ”

Zheng Wei glanced at Xia Yun, and suddenly shook her head again, "Forget it, I'd better go, just go and see the world, and see what those big people who only appeared on TV before look like in reality!" ”

……

The next two days flew by, and at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 27th, Xia Yun and his group gathered downstairs in Zheng Wei's rental housing community, intending to go over together.

Zheng Wei dressed up rarely, wearing a light pink slim woolen coat with gray tight-fitting thick tight-fitting tights, which set off her slender figure to the fullest, with a thin powder on her face, a light makeup, and a shawl of soft black hair, revealing a trace of tenderness in her innocence, but it made Xia Yun, who had never seen Zheng Wei dressed like this, look straight at her, and pounced on her with a wolf howl, hugging Zheng Wei is gnawing a little, until Zheng Wei was annoyed and stepped on it heavily, and then let go of her stupidly.

He is wearing a light gray Versace casual suit today, which Zheng Wei bought for him yesterday when he was shopping in the International Trade Center, and it cost him more than 10,000 oceans.

In fact, the one Zheng Wei was wearing was also bought yesterday, and it was also expensive.

Originally, yesterday's itinerary was to go to the Pacific Ocean to see sharks and Xiangshan to see the autumn leaves, but since they were going to Gu Ruotong's birthday party, they naturally had to take a good look at it, so the original itinerary was canceled and they went to the mall to buy clothes.

Although they usually dress very casually, and everyone is used to denim sneakers with cotton jackets, they all said that it was usual, and they really wanted to go to a banquet and wedding banquet or something, and the most basic dress etiquette should still be there, if they were too casual. First, it is disrespectful to Gu Ruotong and Li Gu, and secondly, it is also a shame for himself.

Those who go to a formal banquet in tattered clothes do not have personality, but have faults.

Not just pretending, but stupid!

Even Liao Xiaoming, who has always been the most unkempt, like Xia Yun, also bought a suit by Versace, shaved off some scumbag beard, and put on shiny leather shoes, according to Zheng Wei. Directly from the vicissitudes of life, the middle-aged uncle has transformed into a little elegant sullen man.

As for Wang Dong and Song Hui, they both belong to the kind of people who often participate in this kind of banquet, and naturally they also have their own battle robes, but they don't need to make temporary purchases like Xia Yun and the three of them.

After struggling to the downstairs of the rental house, Liao Xiaoming, Wang Dong and Song Hui were already waiting in the parking lot, and when they saw Zheng Wei's dress, they were all a little dazzled, and Liao Xiaoming whistled loudly.

"Sure enough, the Buddha relies on gold, and people rely on clothes. Mama Wei, you are dressed like this, what celebrity models are scum! ”

In front of these college classmates, Zheng Wei never knew what a lady was, and gave Liao Xiaoming a middle finger. went straight into Xia Yun's Audi.

"Let's go, in case the traffic jam is late, it's not good!"

The four men smiled at each other and returned to their cars. Drive in the direction of the Gu family's compound.

……

Tonight's birthday banquet was obviously a rare feast in the capital, and the entire alley where the Gu family's compound was located was blocked. Xia Yun and his entourage of four cars arrived at the entrance of the alley, and they were stopped by the armed police on duty, and after showing the invitation to verify their identity, they were taken to a nearby parking lot, parked the car under the guidance of the parking lot manager, and walked inside.

At the gate of the Gu family compound, the five people went through three more security procedures, and finally entered the Gu family compound under the leadership of the staff.

Xia Yun and Song Hui are okay, after all, one has been in and out of here many times, and the other is relatively well-informed, he has been to many courtyards similar to here, and he has no special expression, Zheng Wei has calmed down a lot after visiting the night before.

Only Liao Xiaoming and Song Hui, the first time they saw such a vast courtyard, they were inevitably a little fuss and admired, and it was the same as when Xia Yun first came, if someone hadn't brought it, it was estimated that they would have gotten lost.

There are five courtyards in the entire Gu family compound, and the place where the birthday banquet is held this time is in the third courtyard, that is, the courtyard outside the small courtyard where Gu Xiaoying and the others live.

Although it was only a step into the courtyard, it was already a little wider than Xia Yun's villa in Licheng, Xia Yun pondered, not counting those rooms, just the courtyard accommodating two or three hundred people in it, it didn't feel crowded.

Unlike Liu Haonan's birthday banquet that Xia Yun participated in last time, it was different from the Western-style buffet model, Gu Ruotong and Gu Xiaolong's birthday banquet used the traditional Chinese banquet mode, and dozens of tables of banquets had been set up in the huge courtyard.

Xia Yun roughly estimated that there could be at least fifty or sixty tables at this banquet, and if a table of ten people was calculated, it was estimated that there would be five or six hundred people who came to the banquet in the evening!

Sure enough, it is a wealthy family, when he used to celebrate Tongtong Xiaolong's birthday, the three of them plus his own family of six were killed, and they just filled a table, but now these people are in charge, and it has directly increased by fifty or sixty times......

Xia Yun and the others should be regarded as the first batch of guests to come, at least they didn't see a few guests who came to the banquet along the way, and even if there were, most of them were staff wearing white waiter costumes.

At the entrance of the gate of the courtyard, there were a few tables, and there were five or six young people, both men and women, sitting behind them, obviously playing the role of welcoming guests, but from their clothes and casual expressions, it could be seen that they should all be the descendants of the Li family or the Gu family, who were temporarily arrested as strong men.

Seeing Xia Yun and the others walking over under the guidance of the waiter, the young people all stopped talking, looked over here, and smiled politely.

"Hello, please show me your invitation."

This time, it is not a security check procedure, but a rough seat arrangement according to the identity of the guest.

After all, many of the guests who come at night are high-powered bigwigs, so the seats naturally can't be arranged randomly...... In addition to those big people with names and surnames, young people like some unimportant guests and juniors can sit casually, but they must also be divided into a certain area, in case the guests do not understand and sit in a position that should not be sitting, then regardless of the guest or host, it will be a little embarrassing!

The task of these young people, in addition to welcoming the guests, is to bring them to the right place to be seated.

Xia Yun, who was at the forefront, smiled at Zheng Wei, took out their invitations, and handed them to a young man who looked like a leader sitting behind the table.

The young man took Xia Yun's invitation and flipped it open, read it casually, and looked down for the corresponding name on the guest list.

"Summer Cloud ......"

"Huh?" (To be continued......)
