Chapter 539： don't feel inferior

Chapter 539 Don't feel inferior

Last days of August.

The engagement day of Gu Qingning, the daughter of the Gu family, and Qin Tianyi, the son of the Qin family, finally arrived.

Both of them are big families in Kyoto. For this engagement banquet, all the important figures in the entire business district of Kyoto have come!

At the grand engagement banquet, Gu Qingning wore a light blue haute couture dress, elegant and beautiful.

Qin Tianyi was dressed in a white suit, looking dignified and handsome.

Lan Shu and Xiao Bai looked at their daughter and the Qin family boy holding hands under the attention of many guests.

Xiao Bai sighed sincerely in his heart that his daughter has really grown up.

He can still remember his daughter's white and chubby appearance when she was a child, like a soft dumpling.

In a blink of an eye, my daughter has become a big girl!

Beside Lan Shu, Gu Zerui also looked at his sister fixedly, but he was not so happy when he saw Brother Qin's happy expression beside his sister.

Gu Zerui has the feeling that his sister is about to be snatched away—

But he also knows that when his sister grows up, she will marry sooner or later, form a family with a man she likes, and live together.

If Xiao Qin is someone my sister likes, then he doesn't seem to be unhappy.

And he can't hate the person his sister likes.

At the engagement banquet, Meng Dabao also brought his wife to attend.

Gu Qingning is a very important friend of Meng Dabao, and of course he will not miss any happy events for his friends.

It's just that Meng Dabao felt a little inferior when he saw that the guests attending the engagement banquet were all well-dressed, rich or expensive people.

I am probably Gu Qingning's worst friend...

Zhou Lan beside Meng Dabao also felt that her clothes were too plain compared to other guests.

But she didn't think she was inferior because of this.

They were personally invited by the heroine at the engagement banquet. Based on this alone, their arrival is dignified and there is no need to bow down.

Feeling the nervousness of her man, Zhou Lan took Meng Dabao's hand and whispered something in Meng Dabao's ear, "Relax, we're here today to see a friend get engaged."

Meng Dabao heard it, yes~! He came to bless his friends today.

The other guests around him have nothing to do with him, so I don't have to care about other people's eyes at all!

Soon, Meng Dabao was no longer nervous and became in a relaxed state.

At this engagement banquet, the only thing that made Gu Qingning a little regretful was that her cousin Lan Juncheng was not able to come.

At this time, Lan Juncheng had already started school abroad, so he could not participate.

But several of Gu Qingning's uncles were present.

Lan Dazhuang has relatively free time.

Lan Sibo is not busy recently, and it is easy to ask for leave.

But Lan Xiuming, in order to attend the engagement banquet of his niece, he had to transfer shifts many times, accumulating a month of rest before he could come here.

Now Lan Shengli who lives in Tianshui Village is also present, even though he is not Gu Qingning's grandfather, but he treats Gu Qingning as his granddaughter.

Lan Shengli is here, so naturally Chang Chunfang will also be there.

Chang Chunfang had long wanted to come to Kyoto to meet her daughter and ease relations with her.

During the Chinese New Year the year before last, her three sons got together in Kyoto, but because her wife didn't go, she couldn't meet her daughter either.

Before the Chinese New Year last year, she told her second son that if she went to Kyoto again for the Chinese New Year, she would definitely tell her.

But who knew that the Second Son Hospital was on duty and could not go to Kyoto.

This interrupted her plan to see her daughter.

Originally thought that Chang Chunfang would have a reason to see her daughter during the Chinese New Year this year.

As a result, Chang Chunfang came to Kyoto ahead of schedule due to her granddaughter's engagement.

Chang Chunfang's main purpose of coming this time was to repair her relationship with her daughter, so even though she stood at the scene of the engagement banquet, she didn't pay much attention to Gu Qingning.

It's a pity that she wanted to talk to Lan Shu, but she couldn't get close to her.

Hundreds of guests at the scene came to congratulate Lan Shu and Xiao Bai on finding an excellent prospective son-in-law, and it was not easy for Chang Chunfang to come forward and ask Shu Shu to forgive her on this granddaughter's great occasion.

It wasn't until the engagement banquet was over and the guests left one after another that Lan Shu and Xiao Bai could finally take a breather and rest.

In the afternoon Qin Tianyi said that he would take his fiancée out shopping, so Lan Shu and Xiao Bai separated from their daughter and took their son back.

As for her three older brothers...

The eldest brother and the third brother have a house to live in Kyoto, and the second brother is still the same as before, temporarily living in the eldest brother's house.

She doesn't have to worry about where her adoptive parents live.

Her third brother Lan Sibo said that Dad has been to the capital many times, and he has never lived with him, so he will drag his parents to live in his house.

As a result, Chang Chunfang still couldn't talk to her daughter.

…

In the next three days, Lan Shu left early and returned late, looking quite busy.

In fact, she is not as busy as she looks. She just saw her adoptive mother's absent-minded look on the day of her daughter's engagement banquet, and she obviously wanted to say something to herself.

What her adoptive mother Chang Chunfang could say to herself, Lan Shu could probably guess without listening.

The relationship between her and her adoptive mother has weakened and cannot be repaired.

So she is busy these days, she just doesn't want to see her adoptive mother.

Chang Chunfang didn't live in Kyoto for too long.

Waiting for Lan Shengli to go back to the old house that is now used by his daughter as a love rescue station, he went to his cousin's house to have a meal as a guest, and then walked around the Kyoto area, thinking about his childhood.

Then he will return to Tianshui Village in Qingyang County.

He wanted to leave, and Chang Chunfang naturally had no reason to stay, so on the fourth day, the old couple boarded the train and left.

Chang Chunfang was very reluctant to leave this time.

When she was in the car, she couldn't help but said to her wife, "Is it true that Shushu and I can't go back to the past?"

Lan Shengli looked at his wife like a child, and didn't say anything.

Then he heard Chang Chunfang say again, "Shushu is my daughter~~!"

Lan Shengli sighed and looked at his wife seriously.

"When Lan Xinya targeted Shushu, when you gave Lan Xinya money, when Lan Xinya showed up at her sons' happy events, when you embarrass them, and when you arranged jobs for your natal relatives, what did you think? Shushu is not the only one who is our daughter."

Although Lan Shengli has never said anything, he actually has a problem with his wife.

He thinks that as a parent, try not to cause trouble for your children, that is good for your children.

But my wife is different.

When Lan Xinya was targeting Shu Shu, she wanted to keep the two daughters from having conflicts, and completely ignored Shu Shu's feelings.

When there is a happy event at the sons’ home, knowing that the sons don’t welcome Lan Xinya, she still calls Lan Xinya over, embarrassing the sons, just because she wants to recognize her own daughter.

When Lan Xinya asked her for money, she gave it without hesitation.

At that time, she even forgot how Lan Xinya despised them!

Later, her natal relatives came to find a job, and she forced her daughter to arrange it, which consumed the mother-daughter relationship between her and her daughter.

All of this was done step by step by her. Even if Shushu doesn't recognize her as a mother now, she should.
