The engagement day is also important. It is the recognition and respect of both parents for the two children to form a new family.
It also carries blessings for their future life, and also means that they have broken away from their original growth trajectory and slowly moved towards the future.
Marriage is not just a matter of two people, but a matter of two families and two families.
In the last group photo taken, Fu Han and his wife naturally occupied the C position, with people from the Yun family and Li family next to them.
Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu stood at the edge, looking a little out of place, but also very attractive.
There was a heartfelt smile on Li Langhua's face. Yun Sheng of the Yun family agreed completely and did not interfere too much in his brother's marriage. Everything was based on Yun Xiao's own ideas.
However, Yun Xiao also has a deep love for Li Li. It goes without saying that the two children who grew up together have a tacit understanding.
Such a marriage, which was highly recognized by both families, naturally made Li Langhua feel happy.
Fu Han and Gu Shulan came out together. They took time out of their busy schedules to come here. Fu Han returned to Fu's house after having lunch at Li's house.
After listening to Gu Shulan's words, Fu Han looked at his wife.
"you sure?"
Gu Shulan nodded, "I want to go for a walk alone and will go back soon."
Fu Han didn't say much. Now that he held an important position, he didn't have much time to spend with her.
Furthermore, there was not much intimacy between them in the first place.
The black nanny car drove outside the imperial capital, followed the straight road out of the city, and arrived at a private villa.
Qiu Ming is the most famous tea house in the entire imperial capital. Tea is regularly flown in from high-quality tea gardens across the country.
Starting from the traditional tea making process, many people choose to make tea cakes themselves to give away.
The purely membership-based private teahouse also employs many master craftsmen with traditional craftsmanship.
Everyone in the Fu family knows that Fu Han and Gu Shulan are guests here, especially Gu Shulan, who comes here every once in a while.
Making and tasting tea by yourself has a unique flavor.
In addition, Gu Shulan also has a tea garden outside the city that specializes in growing fresh tea. Over the years, she has also taken care of the tea garden by herself.
The bodyguards only reached the door and then stopped. The person in charge of the tea garden came over to welcome Gu Shulan inside.
After entering the exclusive box, Gu Shulan put down her things and lowered her head to arrange the tea sets.
The water used to make tea here is specially brought down from the springs in the mountains. It is water that can stimulate the flavor of the tea to the extreme.
Her new tea cakes this year have been baked, and this is the first time she has tasted the tea she made this year.
"Mrs. Fu."
The person in charge opened the door and stepped back. In the past, Gu Shulan didn't need them to wait around, and it was the same this time.
Just as the tea was poured out, the sliding door rang, and a man came in. After looking around, he took off the black felt hat on his head and sat cross-legged opposite Gu Shulan.
The man looks to be in his forties, has gray hair, is about 1.75 meters tall, and has a thin build.
But his square face with the Chinese character "Chinese characters" looked full of righteousness, and some sideburns were beginning to sprout.
"Shulan." He called out, his voice like dry strings.
The weather-beaten appearance makes people sigh.
"How about it, are you still used to it these days? The imperial capital today is very different from what it was fifteen years ago."
Gu Shulan put the teacup in front of him and filled it with tea.
"Even if you're not used to it, don't you get used to it? This is my hometown after all." The man opposite whispered.
Gu Shulan nodded and pushed the cup forward with her fingertips, "Have a try. I made this myself. I did everything from tea picking to tea frying. How does it taste?"
Her slow and calm demeanor made the man opposite her even more anxious.
"Shulan, you have to help me. There are many forces chasing me now, and I don't know what went wrong..." The man held her hand.
His hurried movements even knocked over the cup next to him, and bright yellow tea spilled all over the table.
"Bowen, pay attention to your movements." Gu Shulan slowly withdrew his hand, a little dissatisfied.
Ye Bowen shook his head and became emotional, "Shulan, listen to me, Wen Xuqian's daughter is still alive! And I heard that she is quite capable. She has been tracing what happened back then. Even the people of the Snake Organization who merged with the Ning family are dead. She must have found out about me."
It wasn't that he didn't take care of anything after returning to China, but he didn't expect that the events of the past fifteen years could still be uncovered now.
"Indeed, Wen Li is quite capable, and her marriage to Yu Xiu is about to be finalized. The two children are quite destined." Gu Shulan finally answered his question.
Ye Bowen was getting more and more worried. The rumors in the imperial capital were true. Wen Xuqian's daughter really fell in love with Fu Yuxiu.
Now that the entire imperial capital is under their control, there is no way he can escape.
When he returned to China, he just wanted to ask Gu Shulan for help, but he made a fatal mistake. He never expected that things would develop like this.
"What should I do now! Shulan, you have to help me, I am like this because of you, you can't ignore me!!"
He has been hunted for a long time. If he doesn't leave the imperial capital, his fate will be decided here.
"How about this, you come with me, Shulan, let's go to a place where no one knows us and start a new life. Not being able to take you away back then has been a lifetime pain for me. I don't want to live in this place for the rest of my life. I'm feeling guilty!" Ye Bowen was so excited as he said that he was about to rush towards Gu Shulan.
The woman opposite frowned, looking at him, her eyebrows were still as gentle as before.
"Bowen, you are still so stubborn after all these years. I sent you abroad just for the sake of being a good friend of ours. Now I have no reason to help you."
Gu Shulan said this with some sincerity, "I think you should surrender, right?"
Ye Bowen's eyes widened and he released Gu Shulan's hand.
"What did you say?"
She was going to kill him.
To surrender, he hired a murderer to kill Wen Xuqian and his wife. Once he is found guilty of this crime, he will die in the imperial capital.
Even died in the hands of that child.
He originally chose to return to China for help when he encountered an economic crisis abroad, but he didn't expect to meet Wen Li who was still alive.
He never expected to be involved in the complex whirlpool of the imperial capital.
"I said, surrender yourself to Bowen and atone for your past sins." Gu Shulan looked into his eyes and said every word seriously.
"Shulan, I killed Wen Xuqian because of you. Why do you say that now?"
Gu Shulan's expression was hurried, and she held her chest and shook her head hastily, with a horrified look on her face. "I never told you to do anything to Xu Qian. You misunderstood what I meant and that's why you ended up like this."
"Over the years, I have always dreamed about Xu Qian and Hua Yan coming to me. I have seen them questioning me countless times. You don't know how guilty I felt when I saw Wen Li..."
The woman in front of him had already shed tears, holding her chest and sobbing softly.
"Shulan..." Ye Bowen was a little at a loss.
But obviously, he did everything according to Shulan's wishes, including everything after returning to the imperial capital.
Why does it become like this. "Bowen, I sent you away back then because I didn't want to see you go to jail, but now everything is not as simple as we imagined, do you understand?"
Ye Bowen was stunned, and suddenly looked at the woman in front of him.
"Are you really in love with Fu Han?"
Has the girl who stayed with him all night watching the stars and rode with him from the east of the city to the south of the city in the middle of the night changed
"I am Fu Han's wife. I have already told you that a woman who joins the Fu family cannot leave easily."
Gu Shulan lowered her head as she spoke, "Now, I am the mistress of the Fu family, and I will never be able to leave her in this life. Bowen, now you can't escape, go and surrender."
Ye Bowen suddenly understood what she meant. Back then, she had tried her best to send herself out.
Now I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
"Bowen, don't let me live with the guilt I feel towards Xu Qian and Hua Yan for the rest of my life."
Gu Shulan held his palm with her backhand, and the warmth in her palm spread to the man's slightly cold palm.
Ye Bowen looked at her for a while and said, "You are still unwilling to come with me. That was the case then and it is still the case now."
He lost to Fu Han for the second time, and he could never win against the man who didn't take her to heart.
"After all these years, don't you understand that he doesn't love you, he loves someone else, and you still want to follow him?!!"
Ye Bowen's mood was almost crazy. No one would want his beloved woman to be in the arms of another man.
But that man never loved her.
With tears in Gu Shulan's eyes, she held the man's hand more firmly, "This is my life. If you are unwilling to surrender, no one will be able to find you. I will arrange for someone to send you abroad. Don't do it again in the future." Go back to the Imperial Capital and pretend that these things never happened..."
As of now, this is all that can be done. Even if he is unwilling to do so, Ye Bowen is unable to turn around.
"Let me think about it again..." He said and took a sip of tea.
Gu Shulan nodded slightly, stood up and left the box.
"If you figure it out, call me and I'll wait for you."
Ye Bowen was the only one left in the entire box, and the closed space made his brain start to feel congested.
Gradually his expression changed, and in a daze, Ye Bowen thought of the original time.
He and Gu Shulan were childhood sweethearts, but it was a pity that the Ye family was ruined later, but the relationship between boys and girls is always stubborn.
The feelings at that time were simple and pure, without any interest.
Gu Shulan was also the white moonlight in his heart, if she hadn't been unhappy after marrying into the Fu family.
Then nothing will happen later.
In a trance, Ye Bowen seemed to see them in the past, simple and pure, young and innocent.
Hearing the sound of a cup clattering to the ground, Ye Bowen's heart rate suddenly accelerated. His heart ached, and veins appeared on the back of his hand holding his heart.
Standing in the courtyard, Gu Shulan watched the person in charge of the tea house carry out the exquisitely wrapped gift boxes one by one.
"Everything is ready as you ordered."
Gu Shulan glanced at the gift box that was taken over by the bodyguard and politely said thank you.
The person in charge was a little flattered. Mrs. Fu had been a VIP customer here since the teahouse opened, and she had come here often over the years.
Anyone who knows her well knows her temperament, which is gentle and demure, and she is also humble and courteous to the waiters.
She can be regarded as a breath of fresh air among the rich and noble ladies in the imperial capital.
"These are tea cakes made by Mrs. Fu herself. It seems that they are very important people who receive such thoughtful and precious gifts." The person in charge complimented.
Gu Shulan smiled and nodded, "I want to pass on this thought to everyone, and I think everyone will not dislike it."
The person in charge then spoke, "How could it be possible? This was made by Mrs. Fu herself. Looking across the entire imperial capital, I can't find a more thoughtful gift than this."
Gu Shulan smiled and got into the nanny car. The driver looked back.
My wife seems to be in a good mood today.
In the box, Ye Bowen, who had fallen to the ground and was twitching, realized something was wrong, but his limbs were already shrunken and he had no strength.
The girl's face was reflected in the dilated pupils, and he no longer even had a surprised expression.
Lu Min squatted on the ground, lifted the man up with one hand, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Min's hands were rude, and the person was thrown on the tatami with a heavy sound.
Ye Bowen was lying on the ground and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Pfft..."
Wen Li glanced at it and slowly sat down opposite him.
The fishy smell permeated the entire space, and the waiter who wanted to push the door to enter was blocked outside.
The people who can come into this place are unusual, and they are not someone they can pry into at will.
Ye Bowen vomited three or four mouthfuls of blood and stared at Wen Li who suddenly appeared.
"you… "
Wen Li touched his tea cup with one hand, "What is your relationship with Gu Shulan that can make her poison you and want to kill you?"
Ye Bowen sat up straight, with cold sweat on his face, staring at the person opposite him, his eyes full of surprise.
"You said Shulan wants to kill me?"
How is this possible? Shulan can't do anything to him, absolutely impossible! !
As if hearing some great joke, he suddenly laughed out loud.
"Impossible! Shulan won't kill me!!!"
Wen Li looked at his refusal to admit his guilt and found it a little funny, "You don't need me to remind you of Gu Shulan's background, do you?"
The Gu family, a well-known pharmacy family in the imperial capital, was influenced by his ears and eyes, and Gu Shulan naturally knew everything.
"You want to lie to me!" Ye Bowen shook his head crazily, "It's impossible! You lied to me!"
Wen Li nodded and pushed the unfinished tea over, "How about you try it again?"
Ye Bowen was stunned when he looked at the cup in her hand, his eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were clenched, and he stared at the cup in her hand.
That look in his eyes was like seeing a savage beast devouring his life...
"If you don't dare to drink, let's start chatting."
Wen Li stepped back, folded his hands on his chest, and looked at the person opposite him at leisure.
