Gu Jinglian bit on the glutinous rice ball and smiled wickedly. He slid his hands around the back of Chu He’s neck again and kissed her. Bit by bit, he licked the remaining soup off her lips.
Of course, other than Butler Fu, the guests and other people who were crowding in the room to watch were tortured badly by this very public display of affection.
After finishing the two bowls of soup, Butler Fu urged Chu He to touch up her makeup while Gu Jinglian went to the door to greet the guests!
The man felt most reluctant to carry out this task as he felt rather awkward standing at the door! However, Butler Fu insisted on this, maintaining that it was tradition so he had to comply. Thus, Gu Jinglian and a few groomsmen positioned themselves at the entrance of the Gu family residence and braced themselves to welcome the guests.
Not too long afterwards, Chu He came over, coincidentally running into Meng Qingxue and Mu Yanchen.
Meng Qingxue exclaimed when she saw Chu He standing at the door in the dazzling red dragon and walked towards her. She reached out to hold Chu He’s hand and sighed with emotion, “Chu He, you look exquisite today! You must be the most beautiful bride I’ve ever seen!”
Chu He smiled and said, “Thank you!”
She saw that Meng Qingxue brought only Mu Yanchen with her. The man was in a western suit. It was obvious that he had taken the pains to dress up meticulously, his hair was also handsomely styled. Mu Yanchen smiled at her and said, “Congratulations!”
However, he did not dare to look Gu Jinglian in the eye.
Nevertheless, the groom said amiably, “Welcome!”
Chu He asked curiously, “Where’s the little one?”
“The little fellow caught a cold a while ago. Otherwise, we would have brought him!” Meng Qingxue added, “Chu He, congratulations! We wish you a blissful marriage that you’ll hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet soon!”
“Yes, thank you!”
After Meng Qingxue gave their wishes, she took Mu Yanchen’s arm and, ushered by Butler Fu, they stepped through the doorway. Mu Yanchen also handed Butler Fu the gift that he had prepared. Butler Fu laughed heartily and accepted the package.
The gift was a large red packet. Given Butler Fu’s experience, he knew just by feeling it, that it must contain at least 100,000 yuan, which was a very decent and presentable gift from Mu Yanchen!
Actually, Meng Qingxue and Chu He did not see each other a great deal. They communicated through phone calls and text messages. However, Chu He had taken care of Meng Qingxue previously, so Mu Yanchen was naturally grateful. Hence, it was only reasonable to present a decent cash gift, even if only for Qingxue’s sake.
Gu Jinglian and Chu He now stood together at the door to greet the guests, and they did that for an hour.
Shortly afterwards, two Bentley cars pulled up at the entrance. Gu Jinglian took a glance and saw Mu Yazhe and Yun Shishi alighting from the vehicle. Yun Shishi could be seen carrying Yueyao as she emerged from the backseat. Then the chauffeur opened the other door and Youyou, Little Yichen, and Lisa filed out.
The whole family of six were here. Gu Jinglian’s expression changed when he saw this. This Mu Yazhe was the most ostentatious among the guests and had mobilized his whole family. The groom’s gaze fell on Lisa. Seeing that she was here, he guessed that she must have settled down in the Mu family.
However, in comparison to the amiable attitude of Meng Qingxue and Mu Yanchen, when Mu Yazhe led the family of six to stand in front of him, Gu Jinglian noted Youyou’s arrogant expression and obvious disdain for him!
The groom’s expression turned cold. This fellow, he had the audacity to bear such an annoying expression when he had yet to settle scores with him over the North Africa matter.
Youyou glanced at Gu Jinglian and made his point, “I really didn’t want to come, but Daddy insisted so I had no choice! I hope that the banquet food doesn’t taste too yucky.”
