In the Chu family's old mansion, the meals had been prepared properly, but Zhong Ming and them had not yet appeared.

Wang Lan didn't want to mention how happy she was, and when she took her seat, she began to talk to herself: "Oh, what kind of sister and brother-in-law do you have, what kind of child you have, this is the first time I've met someone who is late!" ”

Seeing that there was already obvious displeasure on Old Man Chu's face, obviously dissatisfied with Wang Lan's attitude, Chu Hefeng hurriedly touched his mother who was sitting beside him with his hand.

"Recently, the eldest brother has just come into contact with the work of the group, and Qiaoqiao himself is also busy, so it is no wonder that they may have been delayed by work." Chu Hefeng immediately rounded up the scene and said a few words that the old man liked to hear.

"Hefeng is right, it's better for young people to be busy now, only old people like me are not busy, what can this child understand, he can still run over by himself if adults are not free!" Old Man Chu was not partial on the first day, and several people present knew it in their hearts.

"It's still early, let's have a chat first, it's not bad to wait, butler, you can call again to ask what is going on in Tianyao!" Chu Haoxiong knew that he was not likable, and at the same time echoed a few words, but this thorny topic was brought up by his wife.

Feeling a slap in the eye from Wang Lan, Chu Hefeng knew that his mother was blaming him for talking too much, but Old Man Chu liked to hear such words, no matter what Zhong Ming did, even if it was wrong, he never felt unbearable.

If it was just Zhong Ming, it would be enough, but this matter was also related to Chen Xinyao and their sister and brother, Chu Hefeng also felt uncomfortable listening to it, and he couldn't sit idly by.

As soon as their words fell, Zhong Ming and his wife happened to appear with Gu Yan, and when they saw the housekeeper coming to report, Old Man Chu was very happy in his heart.

He got up and personally beckoned Gu Yan to his side: "Qiaoqiao, this is Ah Yan, right?" I haven't seen you grow so big for a few years, and you really have the style of your father back then, a handsome guy! ”

"Thank you, grandpa, grandpa looks very healthy!" Gu Yan's mouth was sweet, and the old man was very happy in one sentence, he touched Gu Yan's little head, and said with a smile, "Okay, seeing you grow so big, grandpa feels very happy!" ”

Seeing a little hidden tears flashing in Old Man Chu's eyes, Chen Xinyao knew the old man's thoughts, so she hurriedly called Gu Yan to her seat.

"Ah Yan, didn't you say that you brought a gift to your grandfather before? Why don't you send it to grandpa! Chen Xinyao wanted to change the topic, not wanting to attract compassion in this kind of happy scene.

When Old Man Chu heard Chen Xinyao's words, he immediately understood this girl's hard work, she must have seen that she regretted Gu's father's suicide and death back then, and didn't want to make him sad as an old man.

"I didn't expect there to be a gift? Come and show me! Old Man Chu immediately looked happy, although he knew that Gu Yan's gift might not be valuable, but what was important was the thoughts of these two children.

"I heard my sister say that grandpa loves tea, I happen to have a classmate abroad whose father is a ceramicist, so I asked him to help and customized this set of tea sets, I hope Grandpa Chu can like it, although it is not valuable, but I still want grandpa to accept it!"

"What kind of money is not money, you can have this heart, grandpa is very satisfied, this gift looks really interesting, grandpa likes it very much!" Old Man Chu stroked the gift he had just received, and he couldn't put it down.

He didn't expect that Old Man Chu would be so unpretentious, and Gu Yan immediately integrated into this kind atmosphere, but he didn't expect that the kindness he originally wanted would be interfered with by another person for a while.

"What kind of good baby should I be, Tianyao, your brother-in-law's gift is too distracting, there are so many tea sets in Grandpa's house, I don't know where to put this extra one, if you want me to say, it's better to bring some actual supplements!"

Wang Lan's voice sounded discordantly again, wanting to embarrass Chen Xinyao and their sister and brother, but seeing Chen Xinyao's embarrassed expression, Chu Hefeng's face also became unsightly.

"Whether you like it or not, grandpa has the final say, outsiders are not qualified to interject!" In normal times, Zhong Ming really wouldn't care about Chen Xinyao's affairs, but now Wang Lan is stepping on his Zhong Ming's face, so he naturally can't be happy.

Justifiably scolded Chen Xinyao back, even Gu Yan on the side felt handsome, this was the first time he liked and identified with this brother-in-law like this, and now Chu Hefeng could only sit dry and remain silent, after all, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and it was a difficult choice for him.

Thinking about it, maybe what my sister said in the hotel that day was right, although Chu Hefeng was good, maybe he was not suitable for her, especially since the other party had such a bitter mother, I am afraid that if Chen Xinyao entered the door at that time, the future would not be comfortable. Gu Yan silently kept Wang Lan in his heart.

Seeing Zhong Ming stand up for herself like this, Chen Xinyao's heart seemed to flow through a warm sandflow, she never dared to hope that the other party would one day save face for herself like this.

But it can be understood when I think about it, after all, she is now his legitimate wife to the outside world, and the other party must not see that she has no status in the family, and the other party is still Wang Lan, whom he hates the most!

"Madam, Miss Hu Xin is here, do you want to move to the living room or invite her to come over for dinner?" At this time, the butler's words rang out, and immediately fell on everyone's ears.

Regarding Hu Xin's sudden arrival, Old Man Chu and the others were in a state of indifference, but after all, this was a family banquet, and the old man didn't want any extra outsiders to participate.

"Today is a family banquet, don't let the idle people and others participate, Wang Lan, if you want to see the guests, move to the living room first!" Old Man Chu deliberately asked the servant beside him to take away the gifts and prepare for the meal.

But Wang Lan is the kind of person who can easily talk about it, she immediately explained a few words, "Hu Xin was specially invited by me, and now she is dating with us and Feng, these two are still going to talk about marriage in the future, just take this opportunity today to meet my father and everyone!" ”

"Since you think so, then let the housekeeper go and invite someone over!" Old man Chu is in a good mood today, and he doesn't care about Wang Lan, anyway, Zhong Ming's marriage has already been decided, as for Chu and Feng, Wang Lan has always been in charge, so it is inconvenient for him to interfere more, and he has no thoughts in that regard.

"Okay, then I'll thank my dad for Xin'er, you guys go and help add a pair of chopsticks!" Before Hu Xin entered, Wang Lan took the lead in ordering the maid to come, which can be seen that she attaches great importance to it.

"Mom, what's going on with this Hu Xin?" Chu Hefeng, who had been silently beside him, tugged at Wang Lan's sleeve, I am afraid that except for Chen Xinyao, the person who doesn't want to see Hu Xin the most is him.

Originally, Chen Xinyao and Zhong Ming attended the family banquet together, which already made him feel particularly dazzling, and his heart was very blocked, and now there is another dazzling Hu Xin, which makes him even more uninterested.

"Your girlfriend, what's wrong with you? Look at your uncaring virtue, I naturally have to worry about you, you'd better take the initiative tonight, don't drop the chain in front of them! ”

Wang Lan spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear, but she completely ignored Chu Hefeng's feelings, which was completely a disguised punishment.

"Grandpa, uncle, aunt, eldest brother, hello, I'm Hu Xin!"

As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, Hu Xin was in a hurry to show herself, greeting everyone from the same family, and she didn't even expect that Chen Xinyao would be able to mix like this in the Chu family, and sit directly next to Zhong Ming, and get such preferential treatment, which really made her feel red-eyed!

"Well, take a seat." Old Man Chu didn't say much, which made Hu Xin herself feel very embarrassed, she felt as if she was an obvious outsider.

She didn't even give a gift in her hand, she didn't carry it, if it weren't for the presence of the elders, she was afraid that she would have blown up.

Just when she was a little swaying, Wang Lan took the lead in noticing the gift in Hu Xin's hand, pretending to be extremely surprised and happy and said: "Xin'er, I didn't expect you to be so hearty, but it's just a meal, and you even brought a gift." ”
