Chapter 973: Chapter 973: Another Unexpected Visitor (Part 1)
It’s said that when the fourth of the Xiao Family got married, nobody knew what she was thinking; she only wanted an older man, and as a result, she found an old foreigner almost twenty years older than herself.
The old foreigner, whose Chinese name is Zhu Minxuan, is nearly seventy now, almost the same age as his father-in-law.
His hair has quite a lot of grey, but his facial features haven’t aged unattractively. After all, men tend to retain their age well; as long as their features are pronounced, even with more wrinkles, they remain charming.
A four-row seat extended sedan, its owner sits in the second row.
Gu Nuan and Zhu Jiayin sit together. Zhong Qiaohui moves to the fourth row, the very last row. Wei Changqing goes to sit in the front passenger seat.
When Zhu Jiayin opens the car door for Gu Nuan, she sweetly says, "Auntie, you look so beautiful today."
Is this considered beautiful? Gu Nuan remembers she’s not going to show off tonight; just dressing gracefully is enough, unlike last time when meeting Ou Shihua, she dressed up flashily.
Perhaps hearing his daughter’s words, Zhu Minxuan, who was looking ahead, seemed to have stirred his gaze slightly.
Beside him, Xiao Shuzhu had already turned her head, smiling at Gu Nuan: "Sister-in-law, I didn’t expect to meet you here. I only heard about it from Grandma."
Old Mrs. Xiao called the fourth sibling.
Xiao Shuzhu felt quite emotional: "Back then, I advised Second Sister, but she wouldn’t listen. If she had handed the company to Sister-in-law earlier, there wouldn’t have been so many unexpected issues."
Gu Nuan remained silent.
Xiao Shuzhu seemed to remember something, brushed her bangs, and said, "This is my husband, his Chinese name is Minxuan."
"Hello, Fourth Brother-in-law," Gu Nuan greeted.
Zhu Minxuan seemed to faintly murmur.
Xiao Shuzhu coyly covered her mouth and said to Gu Nuan, "Your Fourth Brother-in-law has always been shy, just like when I first knew him."
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Wei Changqing found it hard to accept as a man.
Zhu Minxuan remained expressionless, without any response.
Only the driver of the luxury car drove past Mrs. Ou and Mrs. Lu and others, as if arrogantly like a local duck.
Mrs. Lu and the people around exchanged glances.
The luxury car drove all the way to the banquet location.
Supposedly a grand business association, but because Luxembourg is a financial center, various business gatherings are frequent, so it didn’t particularly catch people’s attention. Regarding reports of this banquet, there were basically none, never seen in any magazine news.
It was just an ordinary small, unnamed gathering in the eyes of ordinary citizens; those who are deeply in the know certainly understand it’s far more than that.
The luxury car arrived at the designated drop-off point of the banquet, and the group in the car got off one after another.
Xiao Shuzhu insisted on holding Gu Nuan’s arm, making them appear quite intimate.
Gu Nuan felt slightly uncomfortable, considering whether Xiao Shuzhu leaving her husband like this was appropriate.
Xiao Shuzhu seemed to sense her concern, saying, "It’s okay, he’s used to being alone. Cling to him, it actually makes him unhappy."
Gu Nuan asked, "I heard Fourth Sister has a young son."
"Oh, he’s at home, with Grandma, didn’t come, too young." Xiao Shuzhu’s gaze shifted to her daughter’s face, "Initially, I didn’t plan to bring Jiayin, but thought she’s grown up, it’s time for her to see more of the world."
