The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Gu Jingxi chuckled: "Okay, of course."

Meng Jinyao knew it in her heart when she saw that the man's brows were relaxed and there was no displeasure at all.

Originally, she thought that even if Gu Xiuming and Gu Jingxi were not biological father and son, they had been father and son for many years, and they were still the only sons. Now that they were still firmly in the position of heir apparent, they must still care about their son. She had to be scrupulous about what she said and did.

Now that he knows Gu Jingxi's thoughts, he is not afraid that if he says anything about Gu Xiuming in front of Gu Jingxi, he will mistakenly think that he has evil intentions and is trying to sow discord between father and son.

In a big family, interests are more important. The person at the helm must have both ability and political integrity. Otherwise, even if he is his biological son, Gu Jingxi will mercilessly pull him down as long as he is a traitor, let alone if he is not his biological son.

Gu Jingxi asked warmly: "What guests usually come to your father's birthday?"

Meng Jinyao replied truthfully: "Although the Meng family has declined, at least my mother's dowry used to support the appearance and keep the uncle's house decent. My father is a good-looking man who loves to show off. In the past, when he was young, he would not hold any birthday banquets. He was just a family. People have to eat a meal, but grandma’s birthday party is easy to organize. As I’ve gotten a little older in the past two years, it’s become more difficult.”

She paused, glanced at Gu Jingxi, and continued: "After all, there is a marriage contract between the Yongchang House and the Changxing House. For the sake of the Changxing House, my grandmother's family and my stepmother's family are not as good as my father." His friends are quite willing to praise his bad feet. But middle-level officials are completely disdainful. Not to mention whether the Yongchang Mansion will come back, even if it does, it may not be able to catch up with them in a short time. "

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi picked out the key point of this sentence: He has gotten a bit older in the past two years.

His father-in-law's thirty-fifth birthday was celebrated today. The birthday party was something he started to do in the past two years as he got a little older. He was around thirty-three years old, so he was a little older.

He is twenty-nine this year. In a few years, he will be an old man?

Thinking about this, Gu Jingxi felt very subtle.

When Meng Jinyao saw that he was silent, her expression was intriguing and thoughtful, and then she asked: "Do you also want to have a birthday party? When is your birthday? I will hold a birthday party for you then?"

Gu Jingxi's face froze and he said solemnly: "No need, I'm still young, why bother with all this? It's not too late to wait until I'm sixty or seventy years old."

Meng Jinyao said disapprovingly: "Actually, young people can also do it. Some girls' families hold birthday banquets every year, and they spend it with a group of good sisters of the same age. Men can also do it, but they just find a place to hold a banquet to get together and bond."

Gu Jingxi still insisted: "I don't need it."

After hearing this, Meng Jinyao did not force it: "Okay, wait until you are sixty or seventy years old. I will still be young at that time and have the energy to throw a birthday party for you."

Gu Jingxi choked.

Why did he feel that these words were harsh in his ears? No matter how he heard them, they felt harsh and unpleasant to the ear.

He didn't feel that he was old before, but now that he has a girl by his side for comparison, he realizes that he is almost old enough to be a grandfather. When his eldest nephew Xiu Yuan's child is born next year, he will be his uncle.

Is he really old?

-

Yongchang Bofu.

The junior members of Mrs. Meng's natal family and Sun's natal family all came, and many of Meng Dongyuan's friends who were worse off than him also came with their families.

In the eyes of these people, the Yongchang House was in decline, but at least there was an in-law in the Changxing House. Although the eldest girl had trouble with her parents' family because of the dowry, it was said that it was the Sun family who did it, and the Meng family also said It was Sun who did it. What does the stepmother do have to do with the rest of the family?

The Meng family was embarrassed because of this incident, but at least they returned the dowry of the eldest girl's biological mother, Mrs. Zhou, and even the money they used. The eldest girl complained about the Sun family, but the rest of her natal family still did. Dear relatives, there is no such thing as an overnight feud.

If Meng Jinyao returns to her parents' home, they can still build a relationship. If they can get in touch with the Changxing Marquis Mansion and seek some benefits, it will be a worthwhile trip.

Sun's sister-in-law, Yang, came and didn't see Meng Jinyao. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, so she asked Sun, "Sister, my brother-in-law's birthday is today. Why haven't your eldest daughter and eldest uncle come yet?"

Mrs. Sun felt that Meng Jinyao would not come, but she did not say it in public. She just sighed melancholy: "Ayao has almost no contact with her mother's family since she got married. I don't know if she will come today. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone had different thoughts. They glanced at Mrs. Sun calmly. They vaguely felt that Meng Jinyao's absence was probably because of Mrs. Sun. After all, Mrs. Sun had neglected her biological mother's dowry. This incident caused a lot of fuss at first, but No matter what Mr. Sun is, he is still an elder. Being a junior is almost enough, how can you argue with the elders?

No matter how angry he is, his father is innocent, so he can't not come back even for his birthday, right?

Mrs. Sun added: "It doesn't matter if you don't come. It's just a small birthday. My uncle likes to be lively, so he held a banquet and invited everyone over. Relatives and friends can talk and have fun together. It can be treated as an ordinary small banquet. .”

Mentioning the birthday banquet, Ms. Sun couldn't help but feel annoyed. There was no banquet for her birthday, but her husband's birthday was celebrated with a banquet. The uncle's family is now very poor. In the past, it was okay to have the support of Zhou's dowry, but now it is no longer available. This kind of banquet can be held if possible, so as to save money.

Unexpectedly, her husband actually told her that she had done it last year, and if she didn’t do it this year, people would look down on her. Her mother-in-law also meant the same thing. Now she can only maintain her so-called respectability by pretending to be fat, and save money in other ways. , making things difficult for her as the host.

Yang frowned and said in disapproval: "Sister, even if it is a small birthday, they are juniors and should fulfill their filial piety. Chengzhang, the child who studied in Lingshan Academy, all took leave and came back, but they did not come here in the capital. , is actually unfilial."

The other ladies also echoed: "That's right. I don't know what this young lady thinks. She doesn't even come back for her father's birthday."

Mrs. Sun shook her head gently: "Don't make random guesses. Ayao is still a very filial child. Maybe she is on the way and will probably arrive later. No matter how much she blames me, she will definitely attend her father's birthday."

After she finished speaking, she greeted the guests.

There were not many guests, except for the male guests in the front yard, the family members of Meng Dongyuan's friends, and ten young girls. There were also several female family members from Mrs. Meng's family, all of whom were the old lady's nieces and nephews. Sun's natal female relatives include Sun's sister-in-law Yang and Yang's daughter.

They are all not as good as the Meng family, so among this group of people, the Sun family has become the object of admiration. Even though they look down on the Meng family, they still have a title, and the eldest girl has become a marquis.
