Father su choked, but he was not angry. Instead, he patted gu mohan on the shoulder and said, "It's good for young people to have a temper and be aggressive, but this kind of sharpness should be directed at outsiders. There are many internal and external connections between our families. You're still young, so you don't know."
"... Gu mohan was noncommittal to his words.
Father su pondered for a while and said, "Well, this weekend I'll ask xiao pan to arrange a family dinner and invite your parents over. What can we discuss at the banquet?"
Father su was an elder after all. If gu mohan did not agree to such a humble invitation, he would be flattered. He could only nod his head and agree, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll inform my parents when I get back."
"But..." He looked at su pan and reminded him, "What I told you just now is still on the table."
Then he politely nodded to father su and left.
After he left, father su shook his head with a smile and moved his shoulders as he said to su pan, "Don't worry. That thing he said won't work. The rookie kid thought the world was his own, but he didn't know that even sun wukong couldn't fly out of Buddha's five fingers mountain."
Three days later, sunday.
The family dinner arranged by the su family was at night. Gu mohan was dressed formally and arrived by car around 4 pm.
There were many relatives in the su family, but today they came in contact with many of them, many of whom had worked with the gu family, so gu mohan spent half a day in the living room after he entered the door, only to find an opportunity to go upstairs.
Father su and su pan were in the study. When they heard that it was gu mohan, they invited him in.
Father su stood up and looked behind gu Mohan, asking, "Can your parents come in time?"
Two days ago, when he heard that su's father was having a family dinner, gu mohan's father immediately called to apologize, saying that he was really sorry. On the day of the banquet, he and gu's mother were flying abroad to attend a charity party, so it was probably too late.
Father su was about to change the time of the family banquet, but father gu refused, because the other guests had been notified, because the two of them messed up everyone's arrangements and felt bad.
He also told father su that they would try their best to make the early flight back. If it was really too late, the things to be announced at the family banquet could be as usual. There was no need to change, so father su agreed.
Gu mohan closed the door and walked in, nodding and saying, "Sorry uncle, the charity party ended too late. My father said he would invite you to dinner another day to make amends."
"Oh, it's okay. Your parents are busy. I know that." Father su waved his hand and said, "By the way, yan yan was looking for you just now. Did you see her when you came over?"
Gu mohan was filled with anger when he heard the name su yanbai. He shook his head and said, "No, there are a lot of people in the living room. I..."
"Dad-"
Before gu mohan could finish his sentence, the door of the study was pushed open with a "Bang." Then su yanbai rushed in, sprawled on father su's desk and complained, "That daughter of my uncle's is really annoying. She's ugly. She's wearing a red dress. She talks coquettishly. It's disgusting as much as it is!"
Father su smiled awkwardly and pointed behind her, "No rules. It's a joke."
Only then did su yanbai realize that there was someone else in the study. When she saw gu mohan, she immediately got up from the table and tidied up her skirts. "You... Brother gu... You... You... You're here?" She asked helplessly."
Gu mohan had not looked at her since she entered the door, so he had no right to hear her say hello.
Su pan knew that there was a conflict between the two and wanted to give them a chance to mediate, so she said to father su, "Dad, I just heard that uncle wang has arrived. Let me go down with you and say hello."
Father su was such a shrewd man. Seeing this, he agreed and left the study with su pan.
There were only gu mohan and su yanbai left in the study. Gu mohan had no desire to reconcile with her, so he turned around and prepared to go out.
"Brother gu!"
Su yanbai hurriedly stopped him, ran to him and tried to grab his arm. Her hand was raised in midair but suddenly froze.
Because gu mohan's eyes were so cold and terrifying, he did not speak and just looked at you quietly, which was enough to make people scared.
Su yanbai lowered her voice subconsciously and said, "Brother gu, I'm sorry. Everything that happened three days ago was my fault. Can you forgive me? I was really angry to see that woman living in your house, so I couldn't help it... I couldn't help it..."
"Kidnapping?" Gu mohan asked with a faint anger, "So I can't help but kidnap and poison a five-year-old child, can I?"
"Brother gu..."
Gu mo laughed coldly, "Oh, miss su has such a temper. How dare I accept your apology!"
After that, gu mohan lifted his leg and left without giving su yanbai another chance to speak.
After that, gu mohan kept his distance from su yanbai until the banquet began and the two sat together again.
The seat was arranged by su's father. Although gu mohan made a definite rejection, he still insisted on doing so and said mysteriously that they would know the intention in a while.
Father su walked back to the main seat, and after his opening speech, he began to talk about the purpose of today's banquet.
He cleared his throat and said in a neutral voice, "Everyone knows that the su family and the gu family have been friends for generations. From the generation of old gu and I, we have been partners and friends. Fortunately, the son of dog su pan and the son of old gu, Mohan, are also very good friends."
"Remember it was more than 30 years ago..." Father su turned his head to the left, his eyes frozen in mid-air, as if recalling: "At that time, we had just married, and also said that if the child was a man and a woman, we must book a child marriage for them. The two of us will be relatives, and we will be more intimate!"
As soon as this was said, all the guests present began to laugh.
Gu mohan kept his expression in check. He always felt that father su's words had a deeper meaning.
Father su raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and continued, "But as you can see, our first children are all boys. This has made our elder brothers very worried, but fortunately, I have a daughter, yan yan."
Su yanbai's heart stirred and she turned to look at gu mohan. Obviously, she had guessed what her father was going to say next.
Gu mohan's face was already very ugly. His jaw was tight and his eyes were heavy.
Father su glanced at the two of them sitting next to each other and said, "I think you have already guessed that twenty years ago, the year yan yan was born, we made a marriage agreement for the two children!"
