Chapter 309: The so-called family feast
Just wait, it's fine."
Gu Qi said it happily, but he was very unhappy in his heart.
He is in a high position, and he is usually used to giving orders, and people are waiting for him, how can there be any reason for him to wait for others?
But in front of the Ning brothers, Gu Qi's rules are no longer rules, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they have to wait patiently, and they have to pretend that it doesn't matter if they are generous, after all, this meal is what they finally begged for.
Gu Qi knew that he should swallow his anger, but Wei Yin was not that character.
She raised her eyebrows, and immediately said dissatisfied: "These brothers are too uneducated, we are elders!"
Gu Qi quickly glanced around: "Since it's an elder, it's okay to wait."
As he spoke, he gave Wei Yin a look.
Wei Yin didn't see it at all: "Sure enough, it's a child who doesn't care about his parents!"
This unconcealed mouth finally annoyed Gu Qi.
"Shut up!" Gu Qitie scolded with a blushing face, "This is Ning's catering brand! What if someone hears it and reaches the ears of the Ning brothers!"
When he was young, Gu Qi loved Wei Yin's arrogance and innocence, loved her romantic and cuteness that she had pampered from the greenhouse, and was willing to tolerate her and get used to her.
But Gu Qi didn't expect that Wei Yin still didn't have a long brain at such an age, he couldn't tell what to say and what not to say, and he didn't have a temper at other times, what kind of occasion was this? Do you want his tens of millions to be wasted?
Gu Qi's fury frightened Wei Yin.
Recently, she and Gu Qi have quarreled a lot, and she can slowly feel the change in her husband's attitude.
"Hear it, hear it!"
Although he didn't admit defeat, he was quiet in the end.
Gu Changming and Gu Lingsi glanced at each other, not daring to rashly meddle in the conflict between their parents, and remained silent.
Gu Qi snorted coldly, called the waiter, inquired about the booked box, and decided to wait inside first, so as not to be seen as a joke by people coming and going.
But Gu Qi thought, at most five minutes and ten minutes, how could the two brothers arrive.
The appointed time was half past eleven, but who knew that it was twelve o'clock, and the Ning brothers were still nowhere to be seen.
Gu Qi didn't call, for fear that he would be too anxious and in a hurry, and the result was that the Ning family brothers had no news.
Gu Qi's eyebrows were angry, his temper was about to explode, and even Wei Yin didn't dare to complain.
Gu Changming hurriedly said to Gu Lingsi:
"Lingsi, aren't you very familiar with Ning Xu? Why don't you call him and ask him where he is?"
Gu Qi's anger eased slightly, and he felt that this method was good, and there was no need to pay attention to so many rules between juniors.
Gu Lingsi's body stiffened.
was stared at with expectant eyes, how dare she say that her relationship with Ning Xu is terrible now?
"IāI'll try."
Slowly took out his mobile phone, Gu Lingsi didn't make a move.
"What's wrong?" Gu Changming saw something abnormal.
"Nope!" Gu Lingsi reacted quickly, "I was thinking that if Ning Xu was with his brother, he would be heard badly, so I planned to send him a message."
"It's a good method, and I've always been thoughtful." Gu Qi rarely complimented.
Gu Lingsi pinched his palm.
Just as she was about to send the news, there was a knock on the private room door.
The door was pushed open, and Ning Shu's cold and upright figure stood upright, followed by an assistant.
As he walked in, he took off his coat and handed it to the assistant, explaining in a light tone:
"Sorry for being late."
This apology is really insincere, and it doesn't explain why.
But where is the position of the Gu family to care about this little thing?
Gu Qi smiled heartily: "Where, where, we have just arrived."
Ning Shu glanced at him casually and tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Both of them tacitly did not mention the appointment at half past eleven.
The assistant and the waiter exited the box one after another, and Ning Shu naturally sat down in the main seat.
This is Gu Qi taking the initiative
gave up the position, and Gu Qi himself sat in the secondary main seat, originally wanted to take the opportunity to express his intimacy, but Ning Shu seemed to be unaware of it, and didn't even say a word of pretending to shirk.
Gu Qi's old face stiffened, and he still had to smile casually: "Why don't you see Xiaoxu?"
Ning Shu: "Maybe something is delayed. He was too busy a few days ago, and I gave him a brief notice today."
This sentence smashed on the table, and the entire box was silent.
Lateness, seating, tone...... all revealed Ning Shu's dissatisfaction, and also made Gu Qi realize that Ning Shu made it clear that he wanted to make the Gu family unhappy.
Why? Of course, because of today's so-called "family banquet", he came reluctantly, and it all relied on the pressure of Old Man Ning.
Gu Qi wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything and skipped the topic.
Ning Shu didn't give him a chance, no matter Gu Qi's face was ugly, he mentioned it directly:
"Gu Dong is really well-informed, and he can actually find out that his grandfather loves Han Dynasty jade, and he also gave him a valuable congratulatory gift, this thought, even my own grandson has to bow down."
Ning Shu said it without hurry, hiding a blade.
On the surface, it is a compliment, but inside it is not satirizing Gu Qi's too much thought?
Mr. Ning loves to collect literary toys, which is not a secret in the circle.
However, there are many kinds of cultural toys, and everyone is not sure about the specific preferences of Mr. Ning, some of them talk about porcelain, and some talk about calligraphy and painting.
Only a few people know that Old Man Ning prefers ancient jade, especially ancient jade in the Han Dynasty, which is rough and atmospheric, has a simple and elegant meaning, and is the most worthy of the heart of the old man Ning.
Some time ago, Old Man Ning entrusted a middleman and wanted to receive a Han Dynasty jade to ward off evil spirits, but this news was somehow heard by Gu Qi.
In the Han Dynasty, jade was scarce to ward off evil spirits, and there were even fewer in circulation on the market, Gu Qi was also persevering, and he ran for more than a month in person, and finally spent more than 20 million yuan on the black market to receive the parcel and personally delivered it to Old Man Ning.
Old Man Ning couldn't put it down, he was reluctant to return it, and he didn't want to give Gu Qi money, so in the end he could only give Gu Qi what he wanted most - marriage.
Ning Shu, who was busy with work, never expected that he would be easily "sold" by his grandfather at the price of a piece of Han Dynasty jade to ward off evil spirits!
Of course, Ning Shu knew very well in his heart that if he was really reluctant, his grandfather would not force him, but today's meal was inevitable.
So how can Ning Shu give Gu Qi a good look?
Gu Qi was really a little embarrassed, and he shirked the gift out of respect for the old man, and had no other meaning.
Ning Shu sneered lightly.
However, the old fritters are old fritters after all, Gu Qi was cheeky and changed the topic.
Ning Shu expressed his dissatisfaction, but it was impossible to really tear his face with the Gu family, and finally took two sentences coldly, not letting the atmosphere fall into complete embarrassment.
Soon the waiter came in and asked for an order, and the atmosphere was more lively.
Gu Lingsi knew that she was about to go to her home stadium, so she excused herself to go to the bathroom and prepare to touch up her makeup and show her best condition.
As soon as she stepped out of the private room, she saw Ning Xu, who had not arrived for a long time, in the corridor.
He stood there lazily with one hand in his pocket, a waiter beside him.
The two were talking in low voices.
