Chapter 1012: I’m Timid
"Still calling him Old Master, you should call him Dad." Old Master looked at Yu Wanqing, his face full of joy.Yu Wanqing slightly raised a ladylike smile, bit her lip, and bowed her head to call out, "Dad."
"With you as my daughter-in-law, I am very satisfied." Old Master nodded.
"Seventh, you really scared me. Later, you must be punished to drink a few more glasses." Gu Fengjin smiled.
He still had a calm and composed demeanor, not showing a hint of being scared.
"Drinking isn’t a problem." Gu Beicheng glanced at him, his gaze falling on Old Master.
"Dad, have you and Lady Qing already arranged the engagement banquet? Is Lady Qing’s fiancé really me?"
"If it truly is me, you must inform me in advance. I’m timid, and if I’m scared stiff, going to the hospital on the day wouldn’t be auspicious."
"You..." Old Master hummed coldly, his face growing darker.
Just at this moment, the servants began serving the dishes, setting up the tableware, and pouring wine, so this topic was temporarily put aside.
Gu Beicheng picked up the wine just poured by the servant, swirled it, and sipped it lightly.
His words just now, along with his current actions, left everyone present a bit baffled.
Except for the few people who knew about Gu Lingqian and Xia Yinian’s engagement secrets, the just-returned Mr. Wu’s family and Sixth Master, didn’t know what Seventh was up to.
Approximately four or five minutes later, the table was completely exchanged, brimming with a table full of delicious food.
"Let’s start, have a reunion dinner, the family all together, united and happy." Old Madam looked at everyone.
"Yes, Mom."
"Yes, Grandma."
The people at both tables looked at Old Madam and nodded.
"Seventh, don’t act improperly. Wanqing has been waiting for you for so long, you should treat her well." Old Madam looked at Gu Beicheng.
"I always love listening to Mom’s words." Gu Beicheng smiled, meeting Old Madam’s gaze.
The Yu family’s threat using treatment for Old Madam pressured Gu Beicheng, Old Master knew.
However, he originally agreed with this marriage, so there was no coercion involved.
Apart from Old Master, only Gu Beicheng knew about this matter; Old Madam was unaware.
Seeing Gu Beicheng finally willing to marry, she was overjoyed.
Looking at the elderly beside her, Xia Yinian could roughly guess that Grandma wasn’t aware of this matter.
Although she always agreed that Uncle should marry Yu Wanqing, no mother wishes for her child to be threatened by others for her sake.
Yu Wanqing knew Gu Beicheng was reminding her that getting engaged to her was not his intention.
The man she liked was always so stubborn, so even if he started to accept her, he wouldn’t want to acknowledge it due to being forced.
Didn’t he choose to save her without a second thought today, isn’t that a good illustration?
It’s okay, Yu Wanqing knows that she’ll eventually wait for the day he truly recognizes his feelings.
"Alright, let’s eat. Mr. Wu and Sixth Master haven’t been back for so long; you brothers, uncles, and nephews should gather well." Old Madam’s voice continued.
"Okay."
"Got it, Mom."
"Got it, Grandma."
Not only Gu Beicheng, others also loved listening to the elderly’s words.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Dad and Mom, Uncle, Sixth Uncle, Uncle, Brother and Sister-in-law, Aunt Qing, let’s eat."
Gu Jiajia’s cheerful voice concealed all the previous awkwardness.
Everyone looked at Gu Jiajia and nodded; the only woman singled out by Aunt Qing’s mention, her face seemed slightly off.
