At seven o'clock, the two arrived punctually at the venue of the banquet.
Wu Yunyun was attending such a grand event for the first time. The atmosphere was lively, filled with notable figures from various fields, and glasses clinked in cheerful toasts. Gu Si Yi brought Wu Yunyun over to meet Gu Qi. With a standard smile, Wu Yunyun greeted Gu Qi, "Happy birthday, Uncle!"
"Is this Wu Yunyun? It's been a long time! Did you come here with Gu Si Yi?" Gu Qi observed the two holding hands and chose to play dumb.
"Mom, Wu Yunyun is now my girlfriend. I brought her here today just to introduce her to you. You don’t need to prepare for any more matchmaking events for me," Gu Si Yi stated plainly.
Gu Qi didn’t want to lose face in front of everyone, so she forced a smile at the two and simply replied, "As you wish," before turning her attention away from them.
Her son was just like his lecherous father, always preferring girls from humble backgrounds—what a disgrace! However, in this regard, her son seemed even more extreme.
Wu Yunyun had mentally prepared herself beforehand, and when faced with the situation, she found herself surprisingly calm. She thought, so what if others disapproved? She had made up her mind about him!
All those connected to the Gu family were present, including Gu Si Yi's former romantic interests. Ji Sheng and Chen Lehao were together and glanced over at Gu Si Yi. Ji Sheng spoke first, "What's the background of Gu Si Yi's new girlfriend?"
Chen Lehao was Wu Yunyun's classmate from middle school. Back then, her relationship with Gu Si Yi had stirred quite a commotion at their school. At that time, Chen Lehao had secretly harbored feelings for Gu Si Yi, so she remembered Wu Yunyun well.
It must be said that girls change a lot as they grow up; Wu Yunyun was indeed much prettier now than she had been as a child.
"Ah, she's Gu Si Yi's ex-girlfriend. It seems they’re back together," Chen Lehao remarked in surprise that after all this time, Gu Si Yi was still willing to fall for the same woman again.
Back then, Wu Yunyun had always been around Gu Si Yi; Chen Lehao had laughed at her behind her back. But who would have thought that Gu Si Yi would have such a preference?
Ji Sheng's voice pulled her out of her thoughts. "Should we go say hello to her?"
"Maybe not; I don't want to embarrass myself," Chen Lehao replied.
It would only end in disappointment; she already knew there was no connection left between herself and Gu Si Yi. As for who he chose to be with now—that was no longer her concern.
Ji Sheng lifted her chin slightly; the more she thought about it, the angrier she became at losing out to an ordinary-looking woman.
"Gu Yang," Ji Sheng called, "come here. Xiaoyang, have you met your sister-in-law yet?"
Gu Yang glanced at Wu Yunyun before looking away. How could he not have seen her? He was all too familiar with her. He had once unknowingly wandered into Gu Si Yi's studio, where the walls were adorned with countless sketches of Wu Yunyun.
There she was, sleeping on a desk, eating, walking, laughing. The images frightened him, yet they were etched in his heart. Because of this, he had received a stern lecture from Gu Si Yi.
How could he even ask about this? Gu Yang maintained a gentle smile, finding the woman before him rather foolish. He simply wanted to know what extraordinary qualities she possessed that made Gu Si Yi personally bring her out.
It must be because he likes her; his brother has never played by the rules. Gu Yang smiled softly as he lifted his cup to clink with Ji Sheng's. "If it were me, I would definitely choose Sister Ji."
Ji Sheng raised his glass to toast with Gu Yang, acknowledging that his younger brother certainly knew how to speak well.
It was sincere. Gu Yang smiled even more innocently, thinking that this big-chested, brainless woman was quite easy to handle.
Ji Sheng laughed, her demeanor lively. "Your words are really sweet."
With Gu Yang's comment, she felt relieved; Gu Si Yi must not be a normal person to make such a strange choice!
