The Cultivation of Rebirth

Although the Gu family's dinner today only invited some close relatives and friends, the Gu family still took a very serious attitude. The decoration of the banquet hall and the dishes they ordered were all exquisite.

Gu Huaidong knew that this would happen every year, so he took Li Rui to order two dresses a year ago.

It's just that after a year, the waists of both of them were two inches wider. Gu Huaidong couldn't help but feel lucky that someone left a lot when ordering the dresses, otherwise today would be in danger.

Gu Huaidong decided to resume fitness tomorrow.

If it weren't for the fact that there is still a banquet to attend right now, he actually wants to go to the gym to sweat it out.

The two dresses that Gu Huaidong ordered were of similar color and style, only the details were unique and different to echo each other.In the words of later generations, this is a couple outfit.No matter how low-key it is, it is also a couple outfit.

When the two dresses are hung together, they look very matching. When Li Rui and Gu Huaidong put on their own dresses and stand together, they are a pair of lovers.

The dress that Gu Huaidong ordered was not matched with a tie, but a more playful and casual bow tie.

This is hard for Li Rui.Li Rui knows how to tie a tie, but he has never done it before.

Gu Huaidong had already folded the square scarf and put it in his jacket pocket, only to find that Li Rui was still struggling with the bow tie.

Li Rui couldn't tie the knot well in front of the mirror.

Gu Huaidong walked up to Li Rui, bent over in a gentlemanly manner, and asked in a tone: "Sir, do I have the honor to serve you?"

At this time, Li Rui didn't care about what he said before that he would be able to tie the tie well, he turned half sideways with great relief, and motioned to Gu Huaidong: Come on.

Gu Huaidong tied the bow tie familiarly, adjusted it to make it more straight, then took another square scarf folded by himself, and stuffed it into Li Rui's chest pocket.

The two dressed up and went downstairs together.

Gu Zhilin saw her eldest nephew and his partner walking side by side in the hall, they were both tall and straight, with extraordinary bearing, and praised without hesitation: "Dongzi and Xiaorui are so handsome today, they look like a good match."

Li Rui felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and seeing Gu Zhilin who was also very beautifully dressed today, he also sincerely praised: "My aunt is also very beautiful today."

Gu Zhilin covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Auntie will accept your compliment."

Gu Huaidong was not afraid of being too proud at all: "Auntie, Li Rui and I seem to be a good match today?"

Gu Zhilin squinted at him: "It's a good match, a good match, every day is fine."

While the three of them were talking, Xia Jinzhi walked over.

"Uncle." Gu Huaidong and Li Rui shouted in unison.

"En." Xia Jinzhi responded, and reached out to touch Li Rui's head, but thinking of today's occasion, his hand dropped a little and patted Li Rui's shoulder.

Xia Jinzhi patted Li Rui's shoulder, then patted Gu Huaidong's shoulder, and then noticed that the cuffs of the suits of the two nephews were the cuffs he gave them when they gave them New Year's greetings two days ago, and the corners of their mouths were bent, Complimenting the two nephews as if they were children: "Good boy."

Xia Jinzhi had seen a lot of Gu Huaidong in formal attire, but she had never seen Li Rui in formal attire, looked him up and down, and said with satisfaction, "This body is very energetic." Then she turned her head and praised Gu Huaidong, "Didn't Huaidong pick out the clothes? Good eyesight."

Gu Huaidong was extremely proud when he heard the words, and then seriously praised Xia Jinzhi.

Gu Zhilin watched from the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and tapped Gu Huaidong's shoulder: "That's it, you."

A few people didn't chat for too long, and soon others came to join the conversation.

The Gu family simply arranged seats for this banquet, and Gu Huaidong and Li Rui sat down at their own table.

The main table is for Mr. Gu and the distinguished guests, and the tables near the main table are arranged according to their distance.

The table that Gu Huaidong and Li Rui sat at was acquaintances of their generation.The person sitting on the other side of Li Rui is his eldest cousin.

Gu Huaidong whispered to Li Rui about the people at the nearby tables, and Li Rui looked over one by one, no matter how good his memory was, his head was a little dizzy.

Li Rui said to Gu Huaidong: "Speak slowly, let me take it easy."

Gu Huaidong told Li Rui: "Other people, you can remember them roughly. These tables..." Gu Huaidong pointed a few times with his fingers slightly, "Remember clearly."

The tables that Gu Huaidong was referring to were either close friends of the Gu family, or promising offshoots of the Gu family.

Some people also noticed Gu Huaidong's gaze, and nodded in this direction.

Gu Huaidong raised the cup in his hand as a response.

The big cousin next to him smiled and whispered to Li Rui: "Brother Li Rui, are you dizzy now? Let me tell you that I have remembered these people for a long time. I will teach you a way. When you meet them, it will be considered real." It doesn't matter if you can't remember, don't show it, just calm down and try to smile."

The big cousin imparts his own experience.

Li Rui nodded, thank you big cousin.

There was a brief speech before the banquet. Mr. Gu didn't like to engage in so many formalities, so he let the banquet begin after he said a few words casually.

As soon as the banquet opened, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became lively.

After a while, people started toasting everywhere.

Gu Huaidong, as the eldest grandson of Gu's family, was first toasted several times, and after dismissing those who came to toast, it was time for him to toast to others.

He brought Li Rui to the nearby tables, and introduced Li Rui to several close uncles as "friends".

The Gu family is flourishing and thriving.When there are too many people, it is easy to feel unbalanced.

Especially now that the status of direct descendants and offshoots has been separated a lot, there have been many disagreements on some matters.

Although other Gu family members who were close or promising were invited this time, they didn't care about each other.

No matter how much Mr. Gu's children and descendants dislike two men being together, as long as Mr. Gu agrees, they will not raise any objections.

On the contrary, after seeing that both the eldest brother and the father agreed to this matter, they will try their best to let go of their prejudices and work hard to maintain the relationship.

But other relatives surnamed Gu don't necessarily think so.

Now seeing Gu Huaidong taking a foreign surname around for cheap, some people can't help but have opinions in their hearts.

The treatment that they both had the same surname Gu did not have, but it was taken by a wild boy who came out of nowhere.

Those who didn't know Li Rui began to ask the people around him who it was.

After learning that he was only Gu Huaidong's friend, I felt even more aggrieved.

After paying respects to several tables, Gu Huaidong brought Li Rui back to the table where they were sitting.

Gu Huaidong rested for a while, said a few words to Li Rui, asked his eldest cousin to help take care of Li Rui, and went to respect other tables by himself.

Seeing Li Rui sat down, some people came over with wine glasses to inquire about Li Rui's details.

There were also people who had heard about the ambiguous relationship between Li Rui and Gu Huaidong came to inquire about the truth.

Li Rui's attitude was always neither humble nor overbearing, he answered the questions he could answer, and changed the topic with a smile when he couldn't answer the questions. In addition, his eldest cousin, the entrusted flower protector, was very conscientious, and was responsible for rushing to answer and make jokes throughout the whole process. Ask for the news you want.

Every time someone was frustrated, the people behind also stayed on the sidelines for a while, and did not rush to inquire.

The two who finally calmed down looked at each other and smiled.

Seeing Li Rui's flushed face, the eldest cousin was a little worried, and asked Li Rui in a low voice: "Brother Li Rui, are you really not drunk?"

The eldest cousin wanted to stop Li Rui from drinking, but when Li Rui refused, he thought Li Rui was embarrassed, but later found out that Li Rui really didn't need his help.

Li Rui kept a posture of not getting drunk after a thousand cups, drank more than his eldest cousin, and mixed red and white wine, but now he looked more sober than his eldest cousin.

Li Rui squinted his eyes and smiled, and answered him: "I'm not drunk, I just get drunk easily."

The elder cousin's alcohol capacity is actually average, and he is a little drunk now. He didn't notice Li Rui's slowness in speaking, but looked at the elder cousin's sister-in-law with admiration: "Brother Li Rui, I didn't expect you to drink so well."

The reason why Li Rui didn't let his eldest cousin help him block the wine was simply because his eldest cousin was younger than him.

In fact, Li Rui was already in the top position at this time, but he tasted good wine, and when he was drunk, he would sit still and answer questions, so he looked as if he was still sober.In fact, if Li Rui walks now, he will definitely not be able to find Bei.

At this time, Li Rui still remembered Gu Huaidong telling him not to drink indiscriminately, and said to his eldest cousin: "When your cousin comes back later, don't tell him that we drank so much."

The big cousin's chaotic brain also felt that his task was not completed perfectly, so he nodded: "Okay."

Two people who don't like to be hyperactive in the first place, one is slow to drink, the other is good wine, but when people at the same table come to care, they can still talk normally, but after a while, no one finds that they are drunk up.

Gu Huaidong was tripped by someone for a long time before he could get away, feeling unhappy, he rushed back to look at Li Rui, but at a glance he saw that something was wrong with the two of them.

Gu Huaidong tentatively said a few words to Li Rui first, and found that Li Rui was different from usual, very obedient, then went to talk to his eldest cousin, and found that his eldest cousin was very slow in replying to him.

Gu Huaidong asked them helplessly: "How much did you drink just now?"

"Not much."

"Just a little."

The two people passed this question in advance, but they spoke in unison.

Gu Huaidong was basically sure that both of them were drunk, so he grabbed the other person at the same table and asked, "Did they get drunk just now?"

Gu Huaidong's impression of his eldest cousin stays in his previous life. At that time, his eldest cousin was already a successful person, and in his impression he was also a very drinkable person. He did not expect that his current eldest cousin is so useless.

Gu Huaidong couldn't help feeling a little bit inhumane about what he entrusted.

The person who was asked was stunned, and answered truthfully that they had just been toasted by many people, and then tentatively asked: "Are they, are they drunk?"

Gu Huaidong nodded: "It seems to be drunk."

"It doesn't look like it." The other party muttered, asking if Gu Huaidong needed help.

Gu Huaidong asked the man to help his eldest cousin, and he supported Li Rui himself, and sent the two of them to the lounge on the second floor.

When Li Rui and his eldest cousin stood up, they could see that they were really drunk.

Fortunately, the two of them tasted good wine, and they followed them obediently when they were supported.

I met Xia Jinzhi on the road, Xia Jinzhi asked what happened?

Gu Huaidong sighed: "I went to make a toast just now, and when I got back, I saw two drunks. Now I'm planning to send them to the lounge."

Xia Jinzhi told them to go quickly, and then looked at Li Rui worriedly.

Li Rui managed to see Xia Jinzhi's face clearly, and smirked, "How are you, uncle."

Different from the cute and innocent look of the past.

Xia Jinzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said "Hello", then asked Gu Huaidong to send them to rest quickly, and then said, "Remember to go to the kitchen and serve them two bowls of hangover soup later."

Gu Huaidong agreed, and continued to help the two drunk men go upstairs.
