Chapter 538: Don't feel inferior
The last days of August.
The engagement day of Gu Qingning, the daughter of the Gu family, and Qin Tianyi, the son of the Qin family, has finally arrived.
Both of them are the largest gateways in Kyoto, and this engagement banquet has all the big names in the entire Kyoto business district!
At the grand engagement banquet, Gu Qingning wore a light blue haute couture dress and long skirt, elegant and beautiful.
Qin Tianyi was dressed in a white suit, noble and handsome.
Lan Shu and Xiaobai on the side watched their daughter and the Qin family kid holding hands under the gaze of many guests.
Xiaobai sighed heartfelt in her heart that her daughter has really grown up.
He can still remember that his daughter was chubby when she was a child, like a soft ball.
In a blink of an eye, my daughter has become a big girl!
By Lan Shu's side, Gu Zerui also looked at his sister fixedly, but he was not so happy when he saw the happy expression of Brother Qin next to his sister.
Gu Zerui had a feeling that his sister was about to be snatched away-
But he also knows that when his sister grows up, she will marry sooner or later, and she will form a family with a man she likes and live together.
If Brother Xiao Qin is the person his sister likes, then he doesn't seem to have to be unhappy.
And he can't hate the people his sister likes.
At the engagement banquet, Meng Dabao also brought his daughter-in-law to attend.
Gu Qingning is a very important friend of Meng Dabao, and if a friend has a happy event, of course he will not miss it.
It's just that seeing that the guests attending the engagement banquet are all well-dressed, rich or noble, Meng Dabao has a little inferiority.
He is probably Gu Qingning's most unworthy friend......
Zhou Lan, who was beside Meng Dabao, also felt that her dress was too simple compared to other guests.
But she didn't think she was inferior.
They were personally invited by the heroine of the engagement party, and for that alone, their arrival was dignified and did not need to be inferior.
Feeling her man's nervousness, Zhou Lan took Meng Dabao's hand and whispered in Meng Dabao's ear, "Relax, we are here today just to see a friend's engagement." ”
When Meng Dabao heard it, yes~! He's here today to bless his friends.
The other guests around him have nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have to care about other people's eyes at all!
So soon, Meng Dabao was no longer nervous, and he was in a comfortable state.
At this engagement banquet, the only thing that made Gu Qingning regret was that her cousin Lan Juncheng couldn't come.
At this time, Lan Juncheng had already started school abroad, so he couldn't participate.
However, several of Gu Qingning's uncles were present.
Lan Dazhuang's time is relatively free.
Lan Sibo has not been busy lately, and it is easy to take time off.
It was Lan Xiuming, in order to attend his niece's engagement banquet, he had to change shifts many times, and he had accumulated a month's rest time before he could get here.
Now Lan Shengli, who lives in Tianshui Village, is also present, even if he is not Gu Qingning's grandfather, but he treats Gu Qingning as his granddaughter.
Lan Shengli is here, and Chang Chunfang is naturally going to be there.
Chang Chunfang had long wanted to come to Kyoto to meet her daughter and ease relations with her.
The year before last, her three sons were gathered in Kyoto, but because her wife was gone, she couldn't meet her daughter.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, she told her second son early that if she went to Kyoto for the New Year, she would definitely tell her.
But who knew that the second son was on duty at the hospital and couldn't go to Kyoto.
This interrupted her plan to see her daughter.
thought that when the Chinese New Year was over this year, Chang Chunfang would have a reason to see her daughter.
As a result, the engagement of her granddaughter made Chang Chunfang come to Kyoto in advance.
The purpose of Chang Chunfang's visit this time was mainly to repair the relationship with her daughter, so even if she stood at the scene of this engagement banquet, her eyes did not go much to Gu Qingning.
It's a pity that she wanted to talk to Lan Shu, but she couldn't get in front of her.
Hundreds of guests at the scene came to congratulate Lan Shu and Xiaobai on being able to find an excellent prospective son-in-law, and Chang Chunfang didn't want to step forward on this granddaughter's happy occasion to ask Shushu to forgive her.
It wasn't until the engagement banquet was over and the guests left one after another that Lan Shu and Xiaobai could finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest.
In the afternoon, Qin Tianyi said that he would take his fiancée out to buy things, so Lan Shu and Xiaobai separated from their daughter and took their son back.
As for her three older brothers......
The eldest brother and the third brother have a house to live in Kyoto, and the second brother is still the same as before, temporarily living in the eldest brother's house.
She doesn't have to worry about the residence of her adoptive father and mother.
Her third brother, Lan Sibo, said that his father had come to Kyoto many times, and he had never lived with him, so he had to take his parents to live in his house.
As a result, Chang Chunfang still couldn't talk to her daughter in the end.
…
In the next three days, Lan Shu went out early and returned late, looking quite busy.
In fact, she was not as busy as she looked, she just saw her adoptive mother's absent-minded appearance on the day of her daughter's engagement banquet, and obviously wanted to say something to herself.
What can adoptive mother Chang Chunfang say to herself, Lan Shu can probably guess without listening.
Her relationship with her adoptive mother has faded and cannot be repaired.
So she's busy these days, and she just doesn't want to see her adoptive mother.
Ivy Chunfang didn't live in Kyoto for long.
When Lan Shengli returned to the old house that is now used as a love rescue station by his daughter, he went to his cousin's house for a meal, and then walked around Kyoto, nostalgic for his young days.
Then he will return to Tianshui Village in Qingyang County.
He wanted to leave, and Chang Chunfang naturally had no reason to stay, so on the fourth day, the old couple got on the train and left.
Chang Chunfang left this time, and she was very reluctant.
When she was in the car, she couldn't help but say to her wife, "Can't Shushu and I really go back to the past?" ”
Lan Shengli looked at his wife and didn't say anything.
Then he heard Chang Chunfang say again, "Shushu is my daughter~~!" ”
Lan Shengli sighed and looked at his wife.
"When you were targeting Shushu by Lan Xinya, when you were giving Lan Xinya money, when you let Lan Xinya appear at the happy events of her sons, when you embarrassed her sons, and when you arranged jobs for your parents' relatives, you didn't just think that Shushu was our daughter."
Although Lan Shengli has never said it, he actually has an opinion about his wife.
He thinks that as a parent, try not to cause trouble for their children, that is what is good for their children.
But my wife is different.
When she targeted Shushu in Lan Xinya, she wanted to let her two daughters not have contradictions, completely ignoring Shushu's feelings.
When there was a happy event in the sons' house, knowing that the sons did not welcome Lan Xinya, she still called Lan Xinya over to embarrass the sons, just because she wanted to recognize her biological daughter.
When Lan Xinya asked her for money, she gave it without hesitation.
At that time, she even forgot how Lan Xinya disliked the two of them in the first place!
Later, her relatives asked for a job, and she forced her daughter to arrange it, which consumed the mother-daughter relationship between her and her daughter.
She did all this step by step, and even if Shushu doesn't recognize her as a mother now, she should be.
