Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Encounter at Uncle Gu’s Birthday (5)
Bai Chenyao wasn’t looking at Zhang Yuexin, but at Gu Qingfeng.
"Busy as we may be, it’s Uncle’s birthday, how could we not come?"
After a round of pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
Gu Qingfeng sat in the main seat. Since it was a family dinner, they didn’t follow the usual male-left, female-right seating rule. Even if they did, Bai Chenyao wouldn’t have agreed.
Besides Gu Qingfeng in the main seat, everyone else chose their seats at will.
Tian Tian sat beside Bai Chenyao, with Gu Yunyun on his other side, next to her was Cheng Junnan, then Shu Kaiqi, and finally, Zhang Yuexin.
Gu Yunyun, who had successfully sat next to Cheng Junnan, looked at the three additional men, her mind racing.
She had invited Mu Tiantian over today with other intentions, but with three extra men, what should she do?
The plan must go on as usual, or else everything would be ruined.
She remembered the man had warned her, having taken his money, she had to do his bidding.
Because, the money he loans out is never given for free, even if repaid, he wouldn’t accept it otherwise.
"Dad, it’s your birthday today, should we have a drink or...?"
Gu Qingfeng did want to drink a bit, but his health wouldn’t allow it.
"Uncle has an injury, better to substitute with tea for wine!"
When Tian Tian spoke, she looked at Gu Yunyun, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.
Listening to this, Gu Yunyun felt stifled.
She hadn’t planned on actually making her dad drink, he was her biological father, after all; she wasn’t an adopted child without any blood relation to the Gu Family.
But with so many people present today, naturally, Gu Yunyun couldn’t fall out with Mu Tiantian.
She smiled sweetly, her expression tender and gentle, embodying the concern and gentleness expected of a sister.
"Tiantian, you see... I was just teasing my dad’s cravings. He always wants a little drink at home, but today he can’t!"
Looking at Gu Yunyun’s deceitful face, Tian Tian averted her eyes and said nothing more.
The less Tian Tian spoke, the more reason Gu Yunyun had to speak with Cheng Junnan.
"Brother Cheng, Mr. Bai, Kaiqi, would you like a drink?"
Before Bai Chenyao could respond, Shu Kaiqi nodded with a friendly smile.
"Sure, it’s rare to meet Mr. Bai here today, and it’s Uncle Gu’s birthday, so a drink is in order!"
Cheng Junnan smiled gracefully, looking at Bai Chenyao.
"I have no objections, what about you, Mr. Bai?"
Bai Chenyao glanced at them with an indifferent expression, his response was calm.
"As you please!"
At Bai Chenyao’s words, a hint of smugness flashed in Gu Yunyun’s eyes.
Drinking is best, when things get out of control, it’s only natural.
However, to pull any tricks under Bai Chenyao’s nose, Gu Yunyun was somewhat anxious.
"I’ll get the waiter to bring the wine!"
With a smile and a nod to everyone, Gu Yunyun quickly stood up and left the private room.
Inside the room, conversations continued, Zhang Yuexin’s voice was the loudest and most enthusiastic.
As for Bai Chenyao, unless specifically addressed, he generally stayed quiet.
Tian Tian’s attention was on Uncle, worried about his injury not doing well with prolonged sitting, she constantly monitored his expression for any change.
Seeing that Uncle seemed genuinely happy, Tian Tian’s smile grew even brighter.
Soon, Gu Yunyun returned, accompanied by a waiter bringing the drinks.
As the earlier dishes had gone cold, the waiter cleared them all away and served fresh ones.
