On the day Yiran went home for dinner, Yi's mother asked if her son-in-law would come to the dinner party on Friday night. She took a sip of the juice, thinking of the man who leaned over to her when she was watching a video on station B last night Said: "There is an impromptu important meeting on Friday night, so I can't come. I will call Mom tomorrow night."
Although she felt a little lonely, she nodded in agreement.
After Yiran finished his drink, he took his mobile phone to watch the video homework sent by the parents of the students, and replied, "I was supposed to come, but now there is a conflict. I have a lot of social gatherings on Friday."
Yi's father poured himself a small glass of rice wine, looked up at her and said, "He is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and he is also working as a director. Can you two talk when you get home?"
Although his daughter has not had much communication with his son-in-law since his daughter got married, Gu Tingchuan has a calm personality, and he is cautious and focused every time he talks with Yifu. Yifather still has a good impression of him.
Yiran deeply felt that she was despised by her biological father, and she retorted angrily: "Of course I have some chats. I can only play computer games, okay? At least I am a Chinese teacher, but I have a lot of cultural background."
Yi's mother said "Oh" and said with meaningful eyes: "Okay, you two have a good relationship. Now that my mother is going to retire, when will I have a grandson?"
"..."
Yiran was suppressed again in an instant, and she buried her head in filling herself with food, wanting to cry without tears.
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and Yiran was about to withdraw after finishing some of the remaining work. Next week, she had an open class on campus, so she had to make good preparations for the next two days.
Although Director Gu's people didn't show up, they still carefully sent the company's car to pick up Yiran's parents at home first, and then pick her up at school.
Yi's father has three brothers and sisters, he is the fourth eldest in the family, and Yi Ran's cousin, Yi Jin Ting, has a good family condition since she was a child. Because the relationship between the previous generation is not bad, she and Yi Ran also grew up together , in addition to meeting each other during the New Year and holidays, and occasionally going out for shopping and eating.
"However, this Cantonese cuisine is Michelin-starred, and the taste is very good. You will know after eating it."
Yiran is always in a good mood when he has delicious food, so he nodded along.
Jin Ting's mother turned to look at her, and asked in front of her relatives, "You said on the phone last time that you were married, what happened?"
Although Yi's mother narrowed her eyes with joy just thinking about this son-in-law, she still didn't show off too much, and said in a nonchalant manner, "He's a decent kid who makes movies."
"Still a young director? Not bad."
As soon as Jin Ting finished speaking, her second husband Xiang Dongsheng asked curiously, "In the film industry? Which director is it? Maybe I know it too."
Yi's mother saw that her daughter didn't speak. Yiran knew that her brother-in-law's family ran a company and had a much wider network than them, so she answered pointedly: "Maybe you know..."
Jin Ting, who was beside her, tapped her cousin with her elbow: "Hey, my sister didn't expect you to move so fast. Do you have a picture of your husband? Show me."
Photos... There are some, and you can choose from various styles on the Internet.
Thinking so, Yiran slowly took out his phone, wanting to look through it to see if there are any photos of Director Gu.
As a result, when Yi Jinting came over, she saw in the photo album of her cousin, there was a photo of a man lying on the sofa in the corner when he was taking a nap, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of light under the dim floor lamp. Halo, even though it just passed by in a flash, the light has already outlined the opponent's unforgettable picture.
"...What was that one just now? Is it your husband?"
Yiran hurriedly shook her head in denial, just kidding, this is a series of "pornographic photos" of Director Gu's nap that she secretly took one afternoon, so she won't show it to others easily.
"I'll find it for you, wait a minute." Then, he opened the webpage, intending to find a behind-the-scenes photo of Gu Tingchuan taken by reporters at the press conference.
Jin Ting was just about to look at her. At this time, her mother said: "However, this child has followed us Tingting since childhood, and their vision is similar. It must be difficult to find a husband with this standard."
Yiran knows that her aunt is actually not a bad person, but she is easy to get carried away, likes to fight for face in front of her relatives, and likes to show off everything, especially after finding Xiang Dongcheng, her son-in-law, she is no longer complacent. It stopped.
"Look at our Dongsheng, we are talented and good at everything. This time their company won a project, and it can be a few million casually. Their young couple will soon buy a house near Mingwan."
Speaking of which, Yi Jin Ting is also somewhat tactful, and Yi Ran can also see that her brother-in-law treats her sincerely, so since her cousin married her current husband, she has been enjoying herself all day long and showing her happiness index in the circle of friends.
Jin Ting's mother looked at her with shining eyes: "Of course, if you want me to say, everything else is soft and unimportant, as long as he treats you well." She didn't give Yiran a chance to express her opinion, Then he added another sentence: "You, lower your standards a bit, won't you find it?"
Yiran always felt uncomfortable when she heard this sentence. She used to be eloquent, but she didn't want to keep silent anymore, so she said: "I just want to find myself pleasing to the eye. In fact, this time the marriage is quick. It's because I think my husband is very pleasing to the eye."
Jin Ting's mother wanted to say something else, but her daughter laughed first, pointing to her cousin's cell phone and saying, "Oh, why does this 'male god' level look so familiar?"
Xiang Dongcheng took a look at his sister-in-law's mobile phone, and then smiled: "No, this is Gu Tingchuan, the famous 'famous director'."
Yi Ran nodded: "Yes, Gu Tingchuan is my husband."
... There was a sudden silence at the dinner table.
Yi Jin Ting couldn't hide the look of surprise on her face, and her tone of voice was raised a few degrees: "Are you kidding? Stop making trouble, is Gu Tingchuan the director of "Smoke Cloud" and "Dark River"?"
She turned back to her husband to confirm again, and after getting a positive answer, she said incredulously, "Did we go to the cinema together?"
"That's right, it's him."
Yiran and Gu Tingchuan have always kept this marriage extremely low-key, and even the Gu family was not disturbed, let alone the cousin's family.
"You married the young owner of Jiaye Film Company?"
She didn't know how many times her cousin was going to ask, but she could only nod her head.
Xiang Dongcheng was also quite surprised. As a straight man, although he thinks his wife's younger sister is quite beautiful and has a straightforward personality, it seems that he is still close to being favored by a man like him. He still wants those outstanding rich young masters.
"How did you know each other? It's so amazing."
Yiran thought for a while, and said with a relaxed eyebrow: "Yes, speaking of it, if it wasn't for my brother-in-law, you introduced me to this job, I wouldn't have known my husband, and his nephew is my student."
"Oh, what a coincidence... The principal of your school, Shi Xiang, seems to have heard the news that he will be suspended for investigation?"
She looked at her brother-in-law and nodded, lowered her head and said while picking up vegetables: "Well, he often accepts gifts without telling, the amount is huge, and his style is not right..."
Yi Jin Ting sat beside her silently, bored for a long time, but couldn't figure out how her sister married such a big man, she lowered her voice, and asked in her ear: "Then you signed a prenuptial agreement or something?"
Yiran just took a bite of the cold dish, biting his chopsticks and replied: "I didn't sign it... Actually, I think I should sign it, right? But, I mentioned it a few times, Director Gu is very disgusted with the 'agreement' or something, I can’t bring it up any more.”
Yi Jin Ting was so surprised that she couldn't speak. There were other relatives at the dinner table who could stir up the atmosphere. Holding a wine glass, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect the two little girls in our family to marry each other better than the other. Come, come, let's celebrate, let's have a glass of wine!"
In any case, this family dinner has finally begun.
For a while, Yi Jin Ting felt that she had nothing to say, and she lowered her head and just ate her own food.
When they were halfway through eating, Yiran's phone vibrated, and she received a message from Director Gu, and asked her how long it would take to finish.
Yi Jin Ting saw the news that her sister was lowering her hair, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Your husband must be really busy, right? So how much time does he spend at home?"
Yiran only answered truthfully: "I was very busy a while ago, and I have more free time recently."
Xiang Dongcheng was also planning his own calculations in his heart. Although he was still in shock, he thought that having a relative like Gu Tingchuan in the future would be like a ladder to heaven, and their family's business should be even more prosperous.
The sky was already dark, but the night near the hotel was illuminated by lights. Yiran was almost full, and looked back at the night scene outside the window in a daze. At this time, someone knocked on the door of their box.
A relative who was closest got up to answer the door. The waiter leaned halfway in and asked the man behind him, "This is the box that Mr. Xiang ordered. Do you see it right?"
Then, he gave way to the door, and everyone looked up at the same time.
When Gu Tingchuan came in, his eyes were flickering with the light in the room. He was dressed in the coldness of a cold winter night, which made his clear and deep eyes a little darker.
He came here in the clothes he wore for the meeting, without any intentional modification, but his temperament was the proud atmosphere of a superior.
Just seeing Xiang Dongsheng, this rich second generation has no problems, but if he really puts it next to Gu Tingchuan, the gap between them is still very obvious.
"Sorry, I'm late." He was not in a hurry to talk to Yiran first, but looked at the elders beside him, and nodded politely: "Dad, Mom, I will take you back at night."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yiran with a smile. She wanted to say something, but she was suddenly fascinated by the man's eyes like a mirror.
