Once people have experienced the worst, they are much more tolerant of the less bad.

Gu Yi and Teng Minmin have long been in the dark family conflict for most of the year, and they are slowly getting used to and liking the imperfect status quo.

Teng Minmin retracted his thoughts and clenched Gu Yi's hand under the table.

Gu Yi was originally angry, but seeing that her daughter was still standing with her at such a juncture, she instantly gave birth to the idea that neither men nor husbands could be relied on, and only her own son was the closest.

It's a bit escapist, more like self-soothing, fake transparency.

But apart from this, what else can Gu Yi do?

She is now just a housewife with little ability, with a pension of several thousand yuan a month, although her brother is a high-ranking official, and her old father also has a relatively hard social relationship, but after all, the power of her mother's family is not enough to maintain a husband and wife relationship with Teng Zhongqian, so it is practical for her to be respected in the circle of friends as "Mrs. Dean".

How many people envy her for marrying the tall, handsome, gentle and elegant, and powerful Teng Zhongqian......

Gu Yi quietly glanced at the guests in the staggered list, the bald bald, the beer belly, the ugly, the short, the fat, and the tall and handsome Teng Zhongqian was in it, so outstanding......

Gu Yi closed his eyes and shook his head, sighed secretly, and half of the anger in his heart disappeared.

.

Teng Zhongqian got up and went to the wine cabinet to get a few Latu Zhuang over, opened two and then stood up, intending to pour wine for the guests one by one.

Tang Xien reached out to pick it up: "Dad, I'll help you." ”

Teng Zhongqian held her hand: "You can just sit and eat." ”

He poured the wine guest by guest, and finally returned to his place and raised his glass: "Come!" I wish us a better day every year! ”

The guests raised their glasses to wish Teng Zhongqian a happy birthday, and the blessings were louder and louder, and finally slowly fell back and raised their glasses to drink.

The guests here are all uncles who were used to drinking high-grade liquor when they were young, and had to switch to drinking red wine due to physical reasons when they were older. The taste buds are accustomed to high alcohol, and every time I drink low-alcohol red wine, I mumble about it as if I were drinking plain water.

But today, no one mutters. After everyone took a sip, their eyes widened, and they quickly took another sip and tasted it slowly. When the familiar spicy sensation slipped through the throat, they gave a thumbs up and said incredulously: "This wine is a little interesting!" Rich and mellow! Where did you buy this? ”

Teng Zhongqian smiled: "The eldest daughter and her friends went to France to travel and bought it back." ”

The guest suddenly realized: "I said that I usually didn't look at this when I went to buy wine, it turned out to be brought back from France, good wine, good wine!" ”

After saying that, he took another sip of enjoyment.

Teng Zhongqian immediately said enthusiastically: "I have a lot here, when everyone wants to go back later, one person will carry a few bottles back!" ”

"What's so embarrassing about that?"

"No, no, no!"

"Lao Teng, don't you want us to drink next time, and you want to send us home to drink by ourselves?"

The guests joked with Teng Zhongqian, and Teng Zhongqian responded thoughtfully.

Tang Xien felt a little strange in his heart, Teng Zhongqian still didn't want his friends to know that she had found the grandson of the Fu Group, obviously she and Fu Shiyu were about to get married.

.

Everyone continued to drink and eat, chatted about the domestic and foreign economic situation, talked about certain policies, and appropriately talked about topics that could be listened to by Tang Xien and Gu Yi's mother and daughter.

Teng Zhongqian would ask Tang Xi'en for her opinion several times, giving her a chance to behave in front of her friends. Fortunately, Tang Xien is also angry, although he studies law, he is also involved in different fields such as finance, economics, and politics.

In comparison, Teng Minmin is much inferior.

She herself is quiet and doesn't talk much, and she doesn't know enough about things outside her profession, so she can't pick up many topics, but fortunately, she doesn't make jokes for the sake of showmanship.

The guests looked at the pair of sisters who were moving and quiet, and joked with Teng Zhongqian: "Old Teng, your eldest daughter can be raised as a son!" Don't look for your in-laws! You can find her an excellent son-in-law and enter the door! Your daughter and son-in-law will be able to provide for you in the future! Stay by your side! ”

As soon as he said this, the topic suddenly couldn't be pulled.

A guest asked Tang Xien if he had found a partner, but before Tang Xien and Teng Zhongqian could speak, Gu Yi said in a weird manner: "I have already found it, and we have lived together for two or three years!" ”

Guest: "......"

Teng Zhongqian's face instantly turned black.

Teng Minmin was still expressionless.

Tang Xien looked at Gu Yi with a smug face, just smiled, and didn't speak, Teng Zhongqian would naturally treat her later.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Seeing this, a guest who was the most ironclad with Teng Zhongqian hurriedly stepped down the steps for Lao Tie: "It's nothing to live together before marriage, it can test whether the young man's personality can get along, it's better than getting married and living together and getting divorced, right?" If you want me to see it, it's good! ”

Another guest also agreed: "Today's children, if we don't have a generation that can bear it, if our married life is uncomfortable, we will get divorced!" Isn't this all because they didn't get together well before marriage? So now, I have solved the contradictions that should be resolved before marriage, and I will live in peace when I get married! ”

The guests were intimately giving Teng Zhongqian the next step, and Gu Yi was madly mending the knife over there: "This kind of thing of cohabitation before marriage, legally speaking, is it called 'de facto marriage'?" ”

Guests: "......"

They looked at Teng Zhongqian with some sympathy.

But Lao Tie didn't do it for nothing, and someone spoke for Teng Zhongqian: "The young man finally got married, and that is a legal marriage!" If the integration is not good, there is no fate to get married, that is, to resume singleness! Two results, two names, what kind of de facto marriage is it? That was all said 94 years ago! ”

Gu Yi just sneered and didn't answer again. Anyway, the two sentences just now have made Tang Xien ugly enough.

The atmosphere has to be warmed up again.

Seeing that Teng Zhongqian's face was not good, he didn't speak, and the guests took turns to warm up for him.

The guest who first recognized Tang Xien as Director of the Strip Law Division asked, "What is the origin of Lao Teng's eldest son-in-law?" Lawyer or prosecutor? ”

Teng Zhongqian knew that if he didn't say it, Gu Yi's mouth would also say it, so he simply smiled: "The grandson of the Fu Group." ”

"Not bad, Lao Teng! Your in-laws are very powerful! ”

The scope of "strength" is very broad. In terms of wealth, the Fu family does have strength, but in other fields, it is difficult to say.

Teng Zhongqian just smiled and didn't answer.

Another guest asked, "I heard that the old man of the Fu family has handed over all the domestic business to his grandson to take care of?" ”

"I heard so." A guest who works in the economic and trade department said, "Fu's industries are all over the country, involving many industries, including many key projects supported by the state, and most of the manufacturing plants are smart factories. From now on, the Fu family will only be richer......"

"Fu Shi is very rich now, and the money is earned by hundreds or thousands every year, and the reason why it is not listed is that it does not need financing, and there is too much money for fear of people's eyes, and I don't want to announce the financial report......"
