The capital of Hanoi, Guia.
When Su Miaomiao was being chatted with a group of women from the Gui family, Gui Mengjun also came down from the second floor with his father.
Everyone stood up. Gui Mengjun walked over first and introduced to Miaomiao softly, "This is my father. Dad, this is Su Miaomiao from the Longcheng Su family, my girlfriend."
"Hello, uncle!" Su Miaomiao bent slightly and greeted the other party politely.
Mr. Gui looked at Miaomiao, nodded slightly, and also extended his hand with great etiquette: "Hello, welcome to our home."
After Su Miaomiao saw the other party extend his hand, she took the initiative to shake his hand: "Thank you for your hospitality, uncle!"
"Very good." When Mr. Gui spoke, he had a thick Burmese-Vietnamese accent. He looked quite kind, and didn't look like a patriarch who had been in charge of a powerful family for many years. "Please sit down."
"Please take your seats." Gui Mengjun greeted everyone with a smile.
Upon hearing this, everyone walked towards the dining table politely and sat down according to their seating arrangement.
According to the population size of the Gui family, there were actually not too many people present today, only a dozen or so in total. In addition to Grandpa Gui, there were also Gui Mengjun’s brothers and sisters, and those who were getting married also brought their children and partners.
To be honest, Su Miaomiao was a little nervous before coming to the dinner today, but this nervousness had little to do with her family background, because Miaomiao has never been a girl without confidence since she was young. Although her family conditions are not rich, she is definitely not a child from a poor family.
His father was an officer, his family was prosperous, and he had his own business. There were also some prominent figures among his relatives and friends. When Gou Liuzi's father was in his prime, he was a figure who had a say in the Chinese Legion in District 1.
Therefore, Su Miaomiao's inner nervousness mainly came from the fact that she had to meet the man's family. She was afraid that they would ask her all kinds of questions. This made the straightforward third sister feel quite embarrassed.
However, what made Su Miaomiao feel relieved was that these relatives of Gui Mengjun seemed to be very well-mannered. Although most of the conversations during the table were overly polite and made people feel a little hypocritical, after all, this was the first time both parties met. If they were too familiar and casual, it would seem abnormal.
At the dinner table, Gui Mengjun's father didn't eat much because he had diabetes and basically didn't eat much at night. However, he didn't ignore Miaomiao and took the initiative to ask about Miaomiao's family situation.
"So your father is retired now too?" Gui's father asked with a smile.
"Yes." Su Miaomiao replied softly: "Now my two younger brothers are in charge of family affairs, and I will help out a little."
"Two younger brothers? I've seen them, right?"
"Yes, you should have seen them, Tianyu and Tianbei. They have been to Hanoi before." Su Miaomiao replied.
When Father Gui heard their names, he immediately smiled and praised: "Su Tianyu, this kid is incredible! I heard that General Fu of the Hua District praised him!"
"Haha, yes." Gui Mengjun interjected, "Regarding the matter of Island No. 7, General Fu met with him once. Later, when there was something about the information, I helped to say a few words in the middle. General Fu's praise for him was also very special, saying that he had eight hundred minds."
Father Gui smiled and put his hands in front of him. He turned his head and looked at the third sister and said, "In fact, your emotional relationship with Huaqu is quite different from ours. After all, we are from the same clan. In fact, more contact is good.
This sounded very abrupt, and with the experience and political acumen of the Third Sister at this time, she did not understand the meaning of Gui's father's words at all. She just smiled and agreed: "Yes, yes, but in Longcheng, it is difficult for us to contact people from our hometown."
"Don't worry. When you and Meng Jun do this kind of business together in the future, you will inevitably have more contact with people over there." Gui's father replied with a double meaning.
Su Miaomiao listened to the conversation and felt that he had ulterior motives, but she still didn't quite understand.
"I have prepared some gifts for your father." Father Gui continued, "When you leave later, take them with you and give them to your father on my behalf."
"This... This is so embarrassing." Su Miaomiao was stunned for a moment and replied, "I thank you on behalf of my father, uncle!"
"When you are free, I will ask Meng Jun to invite your parents and family to come over and sit with you." Gui's father replied tactfully.
"Okay, okay."
"Okay, you guys eat and chat, I need to rest." Father Gui slowly stood up: "Otherwise I won't be able to sleep for a while."
The Gui family's dinner lasted less than an hour before it ended. For Su Miaomiao personally, the meal was much more relaxing than she had expected, because in her expectation, the image of Gui's father should be that of a serious and difficult to approach business tycoon. However, when they sat down to chat, he seemed quite easy-going.
After the dinner, Gui Mengjun and his relatives sent Miaomiao and Dabai back to the hotel.
Standing downstairs, Gui Mengjun asked enthusiastically: "Why don't you invite me upstairs to sit for a while? Two hours is enough!"
"What are you thinking about?!" Su Miaomiao playfully clasped her fists and replied, "Goodbye, Mr. Gui!"
"Haha, okay, go to bed early!"
"Bye!" Su Miaomiao walked into the hotel with Dabai.
After the meal, the winner in life is still my brother Bai. The most thing he has done in his life is to go back to the hotel with his girlfriend.
…
late at night.
Gui Mengjun returned home and met his father in the study on the second floor.
The two drank tea and were silent for a while before Father Gui frowned and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Yes, it's decided and cannot be changed." Gui Mengjun looked up and replied.
Father Gui inserted his palms and said, "If it is according to my idea, I don't agree with you marrying the girl from the Su family. I think you should still focus on the local industry, but since the family affairs have been handed over to you, I won't say more."
"Yeah." Gui Mengjun nodded slowly.
"Marrying Su Miaomiao, the future benefits of the luxury casino off-road track are indeed immeasurable." Father Gui looked at his son and whispered, "But the risks are also great, you have to be cautious."
Gui Mengjun glanced at his father and said, "I married her not only to block the off-track, but also because of my personal feelings."
When Gui's father heard this, he said nothing more: "Pay attention to uniting local relations."
"We should unite those who should unite, but there is nothing we can do if we cannot unite." Gui Mengjun picked up the teacup and replied decisively: "No matter what kind of partners or friends you have, it is impossible for them to always agree with you. This is unrealistic, Dad."
"Just keep it in mind."
…
Inside the hotel, Dabai sent a text message to Su Tianyu: "I'm ready to return!"
