Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Meeting at Uncle Gu’s Birthday 6
After a few rounds of drinks, the conversation in the private room became livelier than at the start.
Cheng Junnan and Shu Kaiqi were both rather talkative people. Although they were a few years apart, they had similar family backgrounds and enjoyed chatting with each other.
As the birthday star, Gu Qingfeng naturally wasn’t ignored. Cheng Junnan and Shu Kaiqi occasionally inquired about Gu Qingfeng’s thoughts, and Gu Qingfeng responded with a smile.
As for Bai Chenyao, he sat there with an indifferent expression, speaking rarely, but he absolutely didn’t seem out of place and couldn’t be ignored.
Whenever someone approached, their eyes were inevitably drawn first to him, as if he were an unattainable flower on a high peak.
Tian Tian sat beside him, occasionally speaking with Uncle Gu Qingfeng.
Zhang Yuexin’s attention was always on Cheng Junnan and Shu Kaiqi, chatting endlessly, all her questions revolving around the family matters of the Cheng Family and the Shu Family.
For instance, how many people were in Cheng Junnan’s family and whether everyone was married, and so on. Gu Qingfeng listened with various dissatisfactions but kept giving Zhang Yuexin looks during the meal, all of which Zhang Yuexin deliberately pretended not to notice.
Although Gu Yunyun wanted to chat more with Cheng Junnan at this moment, with her mom around, she wasn’t worried about a lack of information when she got back. So her attention was almost entirely on Tian Tian and Bai Chenyao.
"Tian Tian, would you like wine or juice?"
"Juice!"
Not to mention, considering that she had to drink traditional Chinese medicine every three days, she had to opt for juice.
Plus, her alcohol tolerance was truly lacking.
As Cheng Junnan and others continued their conversation, the topic gradually shifted to the issue of the land in the south of the city.
"Mr. Bai, I heard you’re interested in bidding as well?"
Bai Chenyao looked at Cheng Junnan and nodded.
"Indeed!"
Cheng Junnan’s expression remained gentle and amiable, his smile as refreshing as a spring breeze.
"I heard that for the project on the land in the south of the city, almost all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Shengjing are competing. Even our Cheng Family decided to join in the fun."
Shu Kaiqi listened and replied with a smile.
"My grandpa also insisted that we must participate!"
Seeing the three of them discussing work matters and Bai Chenyao’s attention focused over there, Gu Yunyun’s heart stirred slightly. She looked at Tian Tian with a very gentle smile.
"Tian Tian, let’s have a drink, shall we? To toast for my dad’s birthday!"
Seeing Uncle Gu smiling kindly at her, Tian Tian picked up her glass with a smile and took a sip.
Gu Yunyun seemed intent on making a good impression with Tian Tian in front of her dad, resuming her previous facade of friendliness.
"Tian Tian, I really thought you wouldn’t make it today. Turns out I misjudged you. As a lesson to myself, cheers!"
Tian Tian drank juice, while Gu Yunyun drank wine.
Watching Gu Yunyun boldly downing the wine in one go, Tian Tian’s eyes widened slightly.
What did Gu Yunyun mean by this?
Did she truly want to reconcile?
Impossible; she and Gu Yunyun were never on the same wavelength, and with the matter involving her grandmother, she could never forgive Gu Yunyun.
Gu Yunyun finished one glass and poured herself another one, looking at Tian Tian with a face flushed from drinking, appearing as beautiful as a peach blossom, very attractive.
"Come, Tian Tian, let’s toast to you being able to come to my dad’s birthday today!"
Tian Tian frowned, she wouldn’t drink this toast.
She had intended to come the whole time, just delayed due to Song Xiaozhi’s situation, and had already explained everything clearly to Uncle Gu.
Watching Gu Yunyun once again tilt her head to drink by herself, Tian Tian frowned.
"Don’t drink so much!"
