Chapter 20: The Gu Family's Birthday Banquet
"No need, good night third uncle!" Song Jiangnan quickly closed the door.
The lighting in the corridor turned on, and Song Jiangnan came out of the dimly lit living room for a while, and felt that the light outside the door was a little dazzling.
Jiang Ruize stood inside the door with only a few glimmers of light. Suddenly, with nothing to do, he lit a cigarette, and wisps of white smoke crawled across his face, sweeping over the endless indifferent loneliness in his eyes.
The next afternoon, Song Jiangnan took a taxi to the Gu family's old house in the villa area to attend the Gu family's birthday banquet.
The old gentleman of the Gu family has passed away, but the old lady is still alive, and the second elder has three sons.
The eldest son Gu Zhengnian, the second son Gu Zhengri, and the third daughter Gu Zhengxi.
The second elder of the Gu family now lives in the Gu family's old house with his eldest son Gu Zhengnian's family.
Gu Zhengnian had two wives, his wife died of illness at an early age, and the two had a son and a daughter, Gu Mingchuan and Gu Nan.
and his current wife Lin Yuan, and have a daughter, Gu Qian. She has been married to Jiang Mingchuan, the heir of the Jiang family, for five years.
And Song Jiangnan is a child adopted by Gu Zhengnian in the countryside after listening to Mr. Feng Shui's guide to making a fortune eight years ago.
Since the moment Song Jiangnan was led into the Gu family, only Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu in the Gu family have welcomed Song Jiangnan, and no one else looks down on this rural girl who climbs into a wealthy family.
Song Jiangnan didn't greet any guests when he entered the door.
She looked for the figure of the old lady in the crowd of the banquet hall and walked straight towards her.
Song Jiangnan took out the limited edition gift box of the luxury brand POL and handed it to the old lady.
"Old lady, I wish you 80 years of happiness such as the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan."
Last month, Song Jiangnan developed a limited edition fragrance with sandalwood notes, and she remembered that the old lady loved sandalwood and asked Jiang Mingchuan to prepare it early.
"Xiao Song, you are here, and you have brought such a valuable gift to grandma, you have a heart, child!" The old lady in the wheelchair is in good shape today and radiant.
Since the old lady had a serious illness a few years ago, she has occasionally been a little delirious.
Recently, Gu Zhengnian encountered some turmoil in his business, so he pretended to hold a birthday banquet on the old lady's birthday, but in fact, it was to pull a business door for himself, and the people present also knew it, and on the surface, he gave the old lady a gift to celebrate her birthday.
Song Jiangnan didn't want to be a courtesan at the reception, she wanted to accompany the old lady, "Old lady, I'll take you to the garden to relax!" ”
"Good!"
Song Jiangnan pushed the old lady to walk around the courtyard, and an hour later, they took a short rest under a lush Languo plane tree.
In that quiet moment, time seemed to go back to when she was five years old, when she was singing the English nursery rhymes she had just learned around the old lady under the shade of a shady tree, and chatting with the old lady like this.
It's just that this courtyard, this plane tree, and this swing have not changed, and she is no longer the lively and lovely Gu Nan of the past.
The old lady's calloused hand patted the back of Song Jiangnan's hand, "Little Song, although you are an adopted child of our family, grandma likes you in her heart." If my Nannan were here today, maybe you would be the right little sister! ”
Song Jiang Nanyin couldn't hold back the sadness in his eyes and his pity for his grandmother, and pretended to naturally show a warm smile, "Okay, I have a chance to get to know Miss Gu Nan." ”
The old lady looked at the swing with wrinkled eyes, and her kind face showed a look of loss.
Unfortunately, she and her brother haven't been back to this home for a long time. Grandma thinks of them, and she doesn't know how tall she is now. ”
