Shi Yang didn't know how many times he felt something was wrong, and it became more and more wrong.

Not only was something wrong with Gu Ci, but she also seemed to be drifting in a direction that was out of control without even realizing it.

When Shiyang finally turned around and went back, he saw that Gu Ci had already put on the shirt she bought for him.

He is as tall and built as a clothes rack, and the size fits him perfectly.

Shiyang looked away as if she didn't dare to look any further. She seemed to be a little restless and confused, especially when she saw the young man neatly buttoning his shirt to the top button, as if...

As if he was guarding against something.

Shiyang felt her cheeks getting inexplicably hot again. As if to cover it up, she randomly took a coat from the shopping bag and asked Gu Ci to put it on again. Suddenly she heard a knock at the door.

The two people looked in the direction of the door at the same time.

Gu Ci's bedroom, where no one usually knocked on the door, was knocked on the door for the second time today.

It was still Gu Ci who went over to open the door.

Mother Chen was waiting at the door. She immediately saw the blushing eldest lady Shiyang in the room, and then glanced at the disheveled Gu Ci. She folded her hands in front of her and showed a "Do whatever you want" professional and good attitude. Eight tooth smile.

She couldn't find Shiyang in other rooms, so she had to look for her in Gu Ci's room.

And then the person is indeed here.

For some reason, Chen's mother caught her and Gu Ci alone in the same room again, even at night. Shiyang felt uncomfortably and held the coat given to Gu Ci in her hand: "What's the matter?"

Chen Ma said she had a phone call in the living room to find Shiyang.

Hearing the call, Shiyang looked at Gu Ci again, then put down the coat she gave him and went out.

Shiyang answered the landline phone and heard that the caller turned out to be the Gu family's housekeeper.

It was said that the Gu family was having a family dinner this weekend, and Mr. Gu hoped that Miss Shi could come back with their second young master to attend.

Shi Yang was stunned when he heard it was the Gu family's family dinner.

Her first reaction was what the Gu family's family banquet invited her to do. After a pause, she remembered that the Gu family's family banquet did seem to have something to do with her.

Because she married into the Shi family, her husband in name now is an illegitimate son of the Gu family, the second young master, who has never been acknowledged to the outside world.

Shiyang twitched the corner of his mouth.

The two previous visits to the Gu family were either Gu Yanwen's engagement party or Wen's birthday. She and Gu Ci were just one of the invited guests. Now, if she didn't bring Gu Ci to the Gu family's family banquet, even though Gu Ci was married into the Shi family, but she was not allowed to go back to attend the family banquet when she married into the Shi family. Others might think that she had lost her etiquette at this time.

After some consideration, Shiyang had no choice but to agree on the phone.

She hung up the phone and then went to notify Gu Ci.

After going out and coming back, Shiyang felt that his mind seemed to be much clearer.

"The Gu family asked you to go back with me to attend the Gu family's family banquet next week," Shiyang said to Gu Ci, "It doesn't seem right to be in Linshi without going, so I just agreed."

After hearing this, Gu Ci had no expression on his face, as if he had returned to the lonely and gloomy boy again, and nodded with a faint "hmm".

Shiyang looked at the shopping bags on the floor again and puffed up her cheeks: "Should I ask the servant to put the clothes away for you, or should you put them away yourself?"

Gu Ci lowered his eyes to look at the clothes Shiyang bought and said, "I'll collect them myself."

……

On the weekend, the doorman opened the car door, and Shi Yang came to the Gu family's luxurious mansion for the third time after reading.

Still with Gu Ci.

However, the first two times were banquets with widely invited guests. This time, there was only one Rolls-Royce of the Shi family in front of Gu's house.

Shiyang knew that Gu Ci would not like this mansion, nor did he like everyone in this mansion.

Oh, except Wen Ting Ni.

When he thought of Wen Tingni, Shi Yang couldn't help but turn around and look at the young man beside him. He didn't know how he felt about seeing Bai Yueguang again today.

Humph.

Shiyang felt uncomfortable with the breath in his chest again. He lowered the corners of his mouth and said dryly: "Let's go."

Today's Gu residence was obviously not the atmosphere for a banquet. When Shiyang and Gu Ci entered, people in the living room were chatting.

"Master, madam, the second young master and the young lady are back." The butler lowered his head and informed the couple who were sitting on the main seat on the sofa.

After hearing the butler's announcement, the chat in the living room was temporarily suspended.

For the first time, Shiyang met up close the person who in the original work would be angered to death by Gu Ci on the board of directors in the future, his biological father Gu Qingyun, Chairman Gu of the Gu Group.

Gu Qingyun had a neatly trimmed beard on his lips. He sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and a lit cigar between his fingers. Mrs. Gu sat next to Gu Qingyun, compared with Shiyang's charming and young mother Wang Meiqin. , Mrs. Gu obviously looks like a lady from a well-known family. Although there are traces of wrinkles on her well-maintained face, she still has a graceful, noble and dignified temperament.

Gu Yanwen listened to Ni and several other close relatives of the Gu family.

After facing Gu Qingyun, Shiyang suddenly frowned slightly, wondering if he should call someone, or how to call someone.

As far as she knew, Gu Ci had called Gu Qingyun "father" since childhood, while Mrs. Gu had called her "madam".

Even though it was just a courtesy, Shiyang didn't want to call this man who had abandoned Gu Ci's biological mother and allowed others to abuse his biological son "father". As for Mrs. Gu, Gu Ci had been the most humble and lowly illegitimate child in the family since he was a child. Call Mrs. Gu "Madam", and she is the official eldest daughter of the Shi family. The daughter Shi Yuanhua has held in the palm of her hand since childhood, she will not call Gu Qingyun's wife so humbly.

But when Yang was hesitating, Gu Qingyun dusted off the cigar on his fingertips and spoke to the two of them. He seemed to see what Shi Yang was struggling with, and said directly: "Sit down."

"Mother Qin, pour tea for the second young master and the young lady."

"Yes, sir."

So Shiyang and Gu Ci sat down on a sofa, and the servant poured tea for them.

Everyone at today's family dinner has arrived, and everyone went to the restaurant to have lunch together.

Just saying it was a family dinner, Shiyang couldn't feel the joyful atmosphere that any family dinner should have. The atmosphere was depressing and boring, and it was even far from the atmosphere of Yuanhua's domineering daughter and the black-faced father every time she met.

Shiyang couldn't swallow her food. She glanced at Gu Ci beside her, who also didn't move his chopsticks much. The young man seemed to be facing all this indifferently. This "Second Young Master Gu" who was in name but had never been publicly recognized, even Only now that I have married the eldest lady of the Shi family, I have the qualifications to participate in the family banquet and serve at the table.

At the dinner table, Gu Qingyun was the only one who spoke from time to time. As the absolute head of the Gu family, he was not so much concerned about feelings as he was questioning the juniors present. Everyone he called answered with sincerity, even Gu Qingyun. Yan also seemed extremely humble and respectful in front of his father.

After a while, Gu Qingyun suddenly mentioned the wedding of Gu Yan and Wen Tingni.

Although Wen Tingni is now recognized by the outside world as the young lady of the Gu family, she and Gu Yan were only engaged before. Officially speaking, they were still an unmarried couple.

Gu Qingyun's tone obviously felt that there was no need to rush into this wedding. It was enough for Wen Tingni to have the status of Gu Yan's fiancée. The formal wedding would take three to five years, or she would be pregnant by then. held again.

After hearing what Gu Qingyun said, Shiyang bit her chopsticks and sneered softly.

No wonder he is a man who abandons his biological mother from beginning to end, but cannot be defeated by a man who dislikes poverty and loves wealth, is mean and unkind.

It seems that even if he agreed to let his son be with Wen Tingni, the servant's daughter, this was forced by Gu Yan to give up his status as heir. Gu Qingyun was obviously not happy after agreeing, so he wanted to delay the wedding. She was not given a formal status and even had to be pregnant before she could marry into the Gu family, in order to humiliate Wen Tingni.

Shiyang looked at Gu Yan again.

When she saw the mention of the wedding to Wen Tingni, Gu Yan, who had been so obedient and respectful to Gu Qingyun just now, seemed to immediately pause.

Gu Yan's face was dark. He held the hand of his fiancée who had been bowing his head and said nothing. Then he looked at Gu Qingyun with unflinching determination in his eyes.

Then Gu Yan directly told Gu Qingyun that his wedding to Wen Tingni would be in the first half of next year. Everything was being prepared and there would be no delay.

"If father doesn't like it, he shouldn't come to participate."

—— Regarding the wedding, Gu Yan bowed his head respectfully and spoke, but there was no room for negotiation in his words.

Everyone present was obviously stunned. They did not expect that Gu Yan would contradict Gu Qingyun like this. Gu Qingyun was obviously mad at the son who had been regarded as his successor since he was a child. He threw the bowl and chopsticks and stood up and slapped Gu Yan in the face. : "Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

The restaurant suddenly became chaotic, with the sound of breaking porcelain, chairs moving, and women's screams.

Gu Yan stood there and received a slap from Gu Qingyun, letting his father punish him however he wanted.

"Master, master, please calm down." Mrs. Gu, who had always been dignified and arrogant, did not care about her image and rushed forward to catch Gu Qingyun who was attacking her son, while Wen Tingni was hiding behind Gu Yan, her eyes already filled with tears.

Shiyang had been listening to the argument between Gu Qingyun and Gu Yan, father and son, at the dinner table.

When she heard that Gu Yan didn't give in on his marriage to Wen Tingni, she admired her from the bottom of her heart. Until Gu Qingyun was so angry that he threw the bowl and chopsticks. Then Shiyang saw the dishes that Gu Qingyun had thrown out, lying on the marble floor. After the tabletop shattered, all the broken pieces of porcelain flew in her direction.

Shiyang was stunned.

She never expected that this fire could actually burn her, an outsider watching a show. She had no time to react, and the broken porcelain pieces that were getting closer and closer to her were reflected in her pupils.

Just when Shiyang thought that this unlucky thing was probably not going to break her appearance, suddenly, she felt a powerful force that directly pulled her up from the chair.

Shiyang dodged the broken pieces of porcelain in an instant, and felt the pieces of porcelain fall to the ground as they hit the edge where she avoided, and fine pieces of debris splashed onto her feet and trousers.

For a moment, all sounds from the outside world seemed to be cut off by the vacuum in the dream, and only breathing and heartbeat remained in the world.

Shiyang's heart was beating fast. When she regained consciousness, she felt Gu Ci's warm palm protecting the back of her head. In front of her eyes was a button on his chest.
