Chapter 1006: Are You Brain-Dead!
Brother Ling Qian said Yu Wanqing suddenly lunged forward because her high heel twisted her foot.Yu Wanqing fell as well, so Xia Yinian didn’t plan to press charges. Today’s incident really should have been an accident.
If Yu Wanqing did it to gain a hero-saving-the-beauty moment, then she’s really gone mad.
Such a vast ocean, the danger of falling in is far greater than letting someone cut her a few times, so it was unnecessary.
Moreover, Yu Wanqing isn’t stupid and couldn’t possibly use the same trick in such a short time to attract Uncle’s attention.
Besides, their engagement has already been settled, hasn’t it?
Anyway, this time she really can say she turned misfortune into a blessing, at least it proved her position in Uncle’s heart is higher than her own.
"As long as you’re happy, let’s go in, dinner is about to start." The Old Madam said with a smile.
"Okay." Xia Yinian nodded, personally pushing the Old Madam inside.
"Grandma, has Sixth Uncle come back?" Gu Lingqian asked softly.
"Not yet, but he promised he would come back to have a meal with this old lady." The Old Madam smiled happily.
The Gu Family’s family banquet is usually held in the main house’s courtyard. Especially today, everyone with a courtyard in the family is willing to dine al fresco.
Mid-autumn, at six-thirty in the afternoon, the sun hasn’t completely gone down, so it’s still early.
Walking into the courtyard and seeing the family in front of her, Xia Yinian paused slightly.
This family has such a presence, she thought it might take a lifetime to integrate.
However, what’s happening today? Why is she having such thoughts?
In the moment of Xia Yinian’s amazement, a warm palm held her small hand tightly.
"Are you not used to this?" Gu Lingqian’s gentle voice asked.
"No, not really." Xia Yinian instinctively glanced at the back of the Old Madam’s head.
"Nian Nian, don’t be afraid! They will all be your family from now on." The Old Madam said kindly.
As expected, Grandma heard it.
Xia Yinian glanced at Gu Lingqian, withdrew her gaze, and nodded.
"Grandma, I understand, I’ll get used to it."
The elderly are meant to be comforted. Does Brother Ling Qian not know? Whether she’s used to it or not is something she knows herself. There’s no need to worry the elderly about it.
Anyway, these family banquets aren’t an everyday occurrence, so she shouldn’t have to get used to it.
Gu Lingqian did not let go of her hand, and the three of them walked inside together.
After everyone greeted each other, they began to take their seats.
Xia Yinian let Gu Lingqian lead her, and they sat down together.
Opposite them, Gu Beicheng was holding a phone, with two children sitting on either side.
A boy and a girl, about in their early teens, all three of their gazes fixated on the phone.
"Careful! To the left, yes!"
"Be careful, Uncle! There’s someone above."
"Uncle is amazing! So great, so great!"
Melodious voices chimed in from time to time, making the atmosphere much warmer.
"You’re an idiot! With Uncle personally handling it, there’s no need for your reminders!" The boy glanced at the girl with disdain.
Xia Yinian’s attention was drawn by the two children in front of her, they should be Mr. Wu’s pair of twins. They really were handsome.
The girl wore a long-sleeved white T-shirt, making her skin appear even more white and translucent.
Perhaps due to nervousness, her cheeks were slightly flushed, further accentuating her perfect features.
The boy wore a white shirt with one button undone, just like the man beside him.
Not only in attire, but even the aura that the boy exuded bore some resemblance to Uncle, reserved and determined.
