Chapter 9: Family Feast

"Uncle." Gu Linjue asked with a smile, "What have you been busy with lately?" It's late again. ”

Lin Qinghe smiled: "It's not too late, it's not too late, the old man hasn't come yet." ”

He looked at Mu Yao: "This is the daughter-in-law you hurriedly married before going abroad?" ”

"Hello uncle." With Gu Linjue by his side, Mu Yao calmed down a lot, so he opened his mouth and called: "My name is Mu Yao." ”

"Mu Yao? Does Yao refer to the Yao of Meiyu? ”

Mu Yao shook his head: "It's far away." ”

She replied calmly, because many people have asked this question since childhood.

Lin Qinghe smiled: "Your parents named the girl, why did they call it like this?" It's like going out to expand the territory, always being separated, and not being able to return home with peace of mind. ”

Gu Linjue said with a smile: "Uncle's words are wrong, Guangya mentioned that Yao, Yuanye, take the name of Yao, take its long-term meaning, Yaoyao is a girl, and you must have courage to not stick to the short-term predicament in front of you and forge ahead for the future." ”

Mu Yao lowered her head and took a sip of red wine, Gu Linjue's interpretation was good, but she knew in her heart that this name was just that her parents were unable to support her when she was born, and her mother could only send her far away to the countryside.

If it weren't for Gu Linjue, she didn't know that her name could have such a meaning.

Compared with the fact that it was chilling, Mu Yao raised his head and looked at Gu Linjue, who was unconsciously shielding her with half of her body in front of her, she liked this interpretation more, so she preferred the name she had used for more than 20 years but had no feeling.

It's really magical, Gu Linjue seems to have magic in her, which can make her constantly like herself, the Mu Yao who used to be mediocre and indifferent in her eyes.

Lin Qinghe nodded, picked up the red envelope from the tray brought by the waiter, and handed it to Mu Yao: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, our Lin Jue is infatuated with you, for fear of being robbed, this marriage is knotted, I don't know how many celebrities' hearts have been broken." ”

"Thank you, uncle," Mu Yao replied respectfully, "Brother Lin Jue is indeed very good." ”

Gu Linjue said: "Uncle, I will be embarrassed if you praise me so much in front of my wife." ”

Lin Qinghe said: "I don't think you're embarrassed, but it's your niece and daughter-in-law, your face is not very good, isn't it uncomfortable?" ”

Lin Yin walked over, looked at Mu Yao, and said lightly, "Since you are uncomfortable, stay here today and rest for one night." ”

Lin Qinghe quipped: "Sister, I can't bear my son and daughter-in-law?" ”

"It doesn't seem that you are busy enough, and you still have time to laugh at me." Lin Yin said: "Mr. Li over there has been looking for you for a long time, don't you want to entertain you?" ”

"Hey, said a good family dinner, why are all these people here?" Lin Qinghe squinted for a while, and said to Lin Yin: "Yes, I'll go over and take a look, sister, don't accompany me." “

Lin Yin nodded, watched him walk away, turned his head to them and continued: "You didn't have a wedding, you always have to show up in front of them more, so as to block those people's mouths and make them dispel their minds about you." ”

Mu Yao was still apprehensive in his heart, and looked up at Gu Linjue, he lowered his head and shook her hand tightly: "I will accompany you." ”

"Daddy!" Lin Jin was as happy as a butterfly, flew to Lin Qinghe's side and grabbed his arm.

"Jin'er, where did you run just now?" Lin Qinghe nodded her forehead, obviously doting.

"I'm going to see off Sister Yu."

Lin Qinghe raised his eyebrows: "Meng Ze is also here today?" Why don't you sit more? ”

"No, Sister Yu is here to find her cousin today." Lin Jin picked his chin in the direction of Gu Lin Jue: "I don't know what I said, Sister Yu said that she wouldn't stay longer, and she was sad when she left." ”

Lin Qinghe glanced at Gu Linjue and Mu Yao, who were holding hands in the distance, and nodded: "No matter what you say, your sister Yu won't be too happy." ”

He turned to Lin Jin and suddenly asked, "I heard that before Lin Jue went abroad, they had a quarrel?" ”

Lin Jin nodded: "It's not, and then my cousin suddenly got married, Dad, do you think they will have any misunderstanding?" And then let this woman take advantage of the void, hum! ”

Lin Qinghe smiled and raised his hand to pat Lin Jin: "Jin'er, don't you want Meng Ze to be your sister-in-law?" Don't give up too soon. ”

"Is there still a chance?" Lin Jin's eyes lit up suddenly.

"According to what you say, Lin Jue is just an impulse, and maybe there is a turnaround. Lin Jue has just come back, and he hasn't gotten along with his new wife yet, so you can't miss the opportunity, whatever you want to do, your father will support you. ”

Lin Jin thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that what his father said was reasonable.

She happily hugged Lin Qinghe: "Dad, thank you so much, I know what to do!" ”

Lin Qinghe lowered his head and smiled, reached out and took his daughter's hands around him: "Go and say hello to your uncles." ”

"The old man is here."

The whole field fell silent all of a sudden, and Mu Yao saw an old man with gray hair but good spirits walking in.

He looked around, and when he saw Mu Yao, his eyes paused slightly, and he quickly moved away.

"Lin has a banquet, welcome everyone to come." As soon as he spoke, his deep voice seemed to have an aura, making everyone listen with bated breath.

"There is another happy event today," his gaze turned to Gu Linjue: "My grandson, Gu Linjue, brought his newlywed wife to the door for the first time today." ”

He beckoned to the two: "Come here, say hello to everyone." ”

"Lin Jue is married? Why haven't you heard of a wedding? Lu Lao was familiar with the Lin family, and asked bluntly.

Gu Linjue bowed: "It's because I was in a hurry, and I didn't give my wife a happy wedding, nor did I officially inform you, today I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you, this is my wife-Mu Yao." ”

For a while, the congratulatory voices were everywhere, Mu Yao saw such a formal banquet for the first time, according to Gu Linjue's guidance, this is Lin Lao's old friend Lu Lao, this is Lin Lao's comrade-in-arms Uncle Feng, and that is Lin Lao's former orderly Uncle Zhang, she bowed to the past one after another, at first she was a little shy, and then she was completely mechanically repeating.

Gu Linjue saw that she was tired, and after these cumbersome etiquettes were over, he took advantage of the banquet to take her to the sofa next to her to rest.

"Who picked the shoes for you?" Gu Linjue couldn't help frowning when she saw the high heels on her feet, and reached out to untie them for her, but was stopped by Mu Yao: "It's okay, I'll solve it when it's over, there are still a lot of distinguished guests here." ”

"Are you hungry?" Gu Linjue asked her.

Mu Yao nodded obediently.

"Wait here, I'll get you something to eat."

Mu Yao waited for Gu Linjue to leave, and then rubbed his ankle slightly, and suddenly heard a clear cry from behind his ears: "Sister-in-law? ”

Not only was it sudden, but it was also called strange, and she shuddered slightly, and when she turned around, she saw a handsome young man, looking at her with a smile.

"Hello, you are ......" Mu Yao paused so that he could silently confirm in his heart: "...... Lin Jing? ”

"It seems that Lin Jue told you about me." Lin Jing flipped over the back of the sofa and sat next to her: "But he definitely didn't say anything good." ”

Mu Yao smiled silently, only to see him hand a delicate porcelain plate to her: "Are you hungry?" I took some fruit and ate it without gaining weight. ”

Mu Yao looked down and said softly: "It's true that you won't be fat, but you can't eat enough." ”

She spoke in a low voice, but she didn't expect Lin Jing to hear it and laugh all of a sudden.

"If you want to eat enough, there is still cake over there, you can't go and get it, I'll go and get it for you."

Mu Yao didn't dare to trouble him again, and hurriedly said, "You don't have to be so busy, Brother Lin Jue will help me get it." ”

Lin Jing shook his head at her: "Today's grandfather's words have completely turned this place into Lin Jue's home field, and he is pestered by those people, and it is difficult for him to get out, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back when you starve into paper." ”

Mu Yao looked back and couldn't help but sigh.

She couldn't figure out how many complicated interpersonal relationships there were, but she also knew that Old Man Lin was deliberately paving a broad road for Gu Linjue, and he had to start a business after he got married, and the old man couldn't expect him to marry to consolidate the relationship between his relatives, so he could only try his best to make his future smooth.

Although she is on the periphery of the financial circle, she still understands this bit of sophistication.

"Your face is not good, fruits are good for qi and blood, you eat more." Lin Jing saw that she was obviously absent-minded, so she put the plate on the table in front of her and walked away.

After a while, Luo'er came over and asked her to go to her room to rest first.

As soon as the door closed, Mu Yao's whole body strength seemed to be drained, and he fell on the sofa.

But fortunately, that person did not appear, otherwise the pride and strength she had been holding on to would have crumbled.

Mu Yao thought luckily: Maybe she heard it wrong today.

There are so many people with the same voice, how can it be that person?

When Gu Linjue came back, Mu Yao was leaning on the bench reading a book.

She had just taken a shower, her hair was half-dried and scattered over her shoulders, and the light was softly dimmed, and it was quiet and peaceful.

She was waiting for him.

Seeing him coming, Mu Yao put down the book and looked at him quietly.

Gu Linjue squatted down, looked at her at eye level, and held her hand in the palm of his hand.

"Yaoyao, what's wrong with you today?" He asked.

Mu Yao's hand retracted suddenly, skimmed his face, and avoided his soft gaze: "It's nothing, there are a lot of things today, I'm just tired." ”

Looking down at the warm and empty hand, Gu Linjue didn't ask, just looked at her ankle, and it was really worn out.

He found a band-aid and said as he put it on her, "My ankles are worn out, and I'm going to take a shower without taking care of it?" ”

Mu Yao looked at the top of his hair and quibbled, "I don't know where the medicine box is." ”

Gu Linjue raised his head: "This is my room, if you want to find something, you can rummage through it, but I am afraid that you will be lazy and refuse to look for it." ”

After he finished speaking, he hugged Mu Yao horizontally.

Mu Yao suddenly took off into the air, and was so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his neck.

She stammered, "I, I, I can get over on my own." ”

Gu Linjue said calmly: "I just happened to be handy." ”

He put her on the bed and took his pajamas himself to take a shower.

Mu Yao thought: I didn't wait for him to fall asleep first, look at how embarrassing it is now.

When Gu Linjue came back after rinsing, he saw Mu Yao lying in a regular manner, not moving.

He walked over and lifted the corner of the quilt, and sure enough, he saw Mu Yao's eyelashes trembling even more.

He smiled slightly, and suddenly his thoughts came to mind.
