Chapter 40: Something Happened to Bai Ru
The Tianluan Square in the imperial capital has always been the most beloved place for the countdown to the festival, and the crowds gradually gather in the square in the evening, and people pour into the streets in droves, standing spontaneously and orderly, waiting for the sleepless night of carnival after nightfall.
The Tianluan Building in Tianluan Square is 200 meters away from the south bank of the Wangjiang River in Dijing, with a total height of 520 meters, which is the tallest building in Dijing. Gu Yi'an was in the Wangjiang Restaurant on the top floor of Tianluan Building at this time, and he could take in the lively scene of the square as soon as he bowed his head.
Shu Yuan loves white, so the entire hall of Wangjiang Restaurant has been decorated with white lilies, Cattelan and perfume lilies at this time, and the floral decoration with the same color perfectly blends with the ambient lighting in the room, showing an elegant temperament and a very visual appeal. Gu Yi'an looked at the scene with satisfaction, the time and place were right, and then he just waited for the arrival of the beauty.
The wording that Gu Yi'an and Shu Yuan said was that tonight's meal was a New Year's Eve dinner and a farewell wine, Shu Yuan stupidly believed it, and after saying goodbye to Jiang Shu, he went straight to Tianluan Mansion, but the road was extremely congested, and when she arrived, it was nearly half past eight.
But when Shu Yuan stepped into the Wangjiang restaurant, she was a little stunned, there was only one guest in the huge restaurant at this time, Gu Yi'an was looking at her with a smile in a tailor-made high-end suit, and the restaurant was obviously deliberately dressed up.
"That...... Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu, Aunt Bai, what about them? Haven't arrived yet? Shu Yuan asked in a low voice, but he had a bold guess in his heart.
Gu Yi'an gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Shu Yuan, and explained without blushing and heartbeat: "Oh, Gu Yixin's future mother-in-law suddenly came to the house as a guest and said that she wanted to have a lively dinner together, so grandpa and they have to stay at home to receive it, because you and the Zhong family have not been in contact, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed, so I didn't change my plan." He didn't lie when he was angry, because at this time, Li Lanxin really went to Sunac Villa with Zhong Zhenxuan, but I don't know if this is Zhong Zhenxuan's forced marriage plan.
"Why are you here at this time? Bring your aunt with you? Taking advantage of the elders in front, Gu Yixin pulled Zhong Zhenxuan's sleeve in the back and said angrily.
And Zhong Zhenxuan's wishful thinking in his heart clanged, if he hadn't brought his mother, it is estimated that he would have been kicked out by Gu Yixin, the aunt, before he even entered the gate of Sunac Villa. Li Lanxin's original words were like this: "You, you, you are a good hand at business, how can you chase a girl and let your mother go out?" You're too useless. If I have one more child, I don't have to expect you to let me hold my grandson. Okay, I'm going to spare this old face tonight for the sake of my future grandson. ”
Then I used a two families who hadn't eaten together for a long time.
Bai Ru was quite surprised when she first received Li Lanxin's call, but after thinking for a while, she immediately understood Li Lanxin's intentions, not to mention anything else, Zhong Zhenxuan's intentions to Gu Yixin over the years She and Gu Ting both saw it in her eyes, and they were also quite satisfied with Zhong Zhenxuan.
"You see, good things are piled up. Yi An confessed to Yuan'er, and Zhenxuan came to accompany Yi Xin on New Year's Eve, it seems that we will be busy next year. Bai Ru took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention and whispered to Gu Ting. Gu Ting's face was also full of smiles, whether it was a son-in-law or a daughter-in-law, he was quite recognized, which was extremely rare in a wealthy family.
Li Lanxin didn't dislike Gu Yixin, after all, this kind of appearance and family background was more than enough for her own son, but she had some opinions about Gu Yixin's behavior of hanging Zhenxuan, she didn't show it, but saw Gu Yixin extremely intimate at this time, after all, her son only likes her and doesn't marry her, what else can she do? In the future, you have to count on her to extend incense for the Zhong family.
"Yi Xin, don't blame Zhenxuan, it's all Auntie's idea. The two of us haven't eaten together for a long time, and there was something wrong with your mother before we met your mother before and we didn't talk for a couple of words, so today I took advantage of Chinese New Year's Eve to come to my aunt to disturb me. Your Uncle Zhong also wants to come over together, but there is still a social, and he can't get out......" Although Li Lanxin was chatting with Bai Ru when she entered the door just now, she had also been paying attention to the dynamics of the two young people in the back, and Gu Yixin's scolding could all enter her ears.
As soon as Gu Yixin wanted to explain, Gu Fanghuai came over, he liked the kid of the Zhong family, but he still had reservations about the Zhong family's wife, he couldn't stand his heart and soul marrying and being angry: "Mrs. Zhong, it's really an honor for you to come to the Gu family as a guest, Xin'er, you quickly tell Aunt Zhao to let her add a few dishes." "The words mean that you came to the Gu family just as a guest, but don't think about giving orders to your heart.
Li Lanxin sneered: "Old man Gu, you just torture me, you just call me Lanxin, our Zhong family was still helped by you back then." Zhenxuan, hurry up and call someone, this kid! ”
Gu Fanghuai waved his hand: "Sit down." ”
The atmosphere of Tianluan Mansion at this time was also embarrassing, but there was also a little ambiguity in the embarrassment.
"Uh......" The two of them said in unison.
"You speak first......" Talking tacitly again, Gu Yi'an raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Lady first." ”
Shu Yuan pursed her lips nervously, she didn't know what to say, but it was too embarrassing not to speak, so she had to squeeze a sentence: "I heard that Tianluan Mansion will set off fireworks every year during the countdown on New Year's Day, I don't know if there will be any later?" This was a temporary search when she went to the bathroom just now, she wanted to know what Gu Yi'an's intention was in asking her to Tianluan Mansion, it was undeniable that when she saw that Tianluan Mansion was a famous confession holy place in Dijing, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then the sense of anticipation was even worse.
Gu Yi'an smiled, put his left hand in his trouser pocket and then clicked the button, and then there was a loud crackling sound in mid-air, Shu Yuan walked to the window, only to see an inconspicuous small fire burst in mid-air, and then transformed into a large lilac umbrella flying in the night sky. When this "umbrella" has not completely disappeared, there is a brilliant "golden chrysanthemum" jumping into the sky, it is like a lonely fairy, the whole body is surrounded by gorgeous and brilliant gold, "dancing" under the attention of 10,000 people. Brilliant fireworks burst into the dark night sky, and the golden light scattered in all directions decorated the night sky brilliantly, and the crowd in the square cheered and embraced, as if a new life was within reach.
While enjoying the fireworks, Gu Yi'an quietly took out the small velvet square box that had been prepared for a long time from the pocket of his suit with his right hand, and walked behind Shu Yuan softly.
He clenched his right hand and whispered as if he had made up his mind: "Yuan'er, I know that I may still be a little hasty in speaking now, but I can't keep my sanity and watch you leave the imperial capital indifferently. We actually met when we were children, maybe you don't remember, I'm sorry that I couldn't be by your side over the years and made you suffer so much, but hopefully, for the rest of my life, would you like to give me an identity that justifiably takes care of you and accompanies you and loves you? ”
Shu Yuan didn't dare to turn around just now, because her eyes were already full of tears. It wasn't until Gu Yi'an finished speaking that she turned around mechanically, looking at Gu Yi'an's bright eyes in front of her, looking at her expectantly waiting for her answer, and he was holding Van Cleef & Arpels' jewelry box in his hand, and a classic ALHAMBRA series rose gold white fritillary four-leaf clover bracelet was flashing faintly in the jewelry box.
Shu Yuan's eyebrows were smiling, but the tears were uncontrollably led down again, Gu Yi'an smiled at the corners of her mouth, handed over her hand to help her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said funny: "What do you mean by crying and laughing?" I don't accept it, my hands are so sore. ”
Shu Yuan hugged Gu Yi'an regardless of his image, and said angrily: "You saw me when you were a child, why did you come to me so late......
"Blame me, so I have to thank Miss Shu for holding on until I find you." Gu Yi'an wrapped his arms around Shu Yuan's waist, and stroked her hair with his left hand, full of distress. But he still didn't forget the matter: "So Miss Shu, your answer is?" I'm also going to have a girlfriend for New Year's Eve, and now it's only 5 minutes until 12 o'clock. ”
Shu Yuan gently broke away from Gu Yi'an's embrace, handed out his right hand, and then nodded heavily: "You still have to promise me that when I return to Suzhou City, you will often go to me." ”
Gu Yi'an put Shu Yuan's hand in the palm of his hand as a treasure, put on the bracelet and said solemnly: "Not only do I often go to Sioux City to find you, how about I try to marry you back to the imperial capital as soon as possible?" ”
Shu Yuan smiled without saying a word, full of joy, Gu Yi'an lifted the hair in front of Shu Yuan's forehead and kissed her heavily on the forehead. At this time, the countdown sound under the square came: "10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! ……”
And the mobile phone in Gu Yi'an's pocket rang at an inopportune time, Gu Yi'an wanted to press it, but when he saw that the caller ID was grandpa, he immediately pressed the answer button, if it wasn't for something important, Grandpa Gu wouldn't call at this time.
Gu Fanghuai's voice was extremely cold, and when he listened carefully, he had a slight trill: "Yi'an, hurry up to the People's Hospital, your mother has fainted!" ”
It was supposed to be a happy family dinner, but when everyone was full of hope for the new year, Bai Ru fell down without warning, and the family was in a hurry, except for Qiao Lan in the kitchen, the corners of her mouth grinned a little.
Li Lanxin and Zhong Zhenxuan also followed to the hospital, Gu Fanghuai sat on the hospital bench and didn't say a word, Gu Yixin anxiously paced around the observation room, and Gu Ting walked out to the side to make a call.
When Gu Yi'an and Shu Yuan hurried to the hospital, Bai Ru hadn't come out yet.
"Grandpa, what's going on tonight?" Knowing that Gu Yixin's thinking was already confused at this time, Gu Yi'an and Li Lanxin nodded and said hello before walking straight to Gu Fanghuai's side.
Even at this time, Gu Fanghuai still noticed that Gu Yi'an and Shu Yuan were holding hands when they came, and he knew that his grandson had succeeded tonight, and his tone was slightly looser: "There was nothing abnormal after dinner, just when I was about to count down just now, I fell backwards without any warning, fortunately, your father reacted in time and did not kowtow." At that time, he had immediately called Haoyang, and he asked us to send your mother for a detailed examination, and initially suspected that he had eaten the wrong thing, so your father was calling someone to investigate. ”
