Ever since Li Minyu rejected him last time, he had changed a lot and no longer dared to cause trouble outside.
"Old Wu, who are the two girls behind your girl?"
"How should I know? What is it? Interested? All the people who come here are Yangzi's friends, don't get it wrong."
"Do you think I'm as tasteless as you? I'm just curious. Aren't they too young?"
"Young? Is there anyone younger than Yu'er? Mr. Guo can still handle them."
Wu Youzhi was purely sour grapes.
Because Yu'er was a system spirit, she had always been very lively. Even when she became a little more mature later, it was to cater to Guo Xuyang's taste.
Nourished by love, Yu'er was now even more delicate, and among this group of women, she was even more outstanding.
When everyone was mostly seated, Guo Xuyang raised his glass and stood up.
"Thank you all, my relatives and friends, for coming to help. I will go to the capital early tomorrow morning to pick up Xiao Xi, and time is tight.
Please forgive me for any lack of hospitality. This first glass of wine is to thank my brothers and sisters for coming. Cheers."
Guo Xuyang was becoming more and more forthright when drinking.
"Everyone, please try the dishes today. If there's anything unsuitable, we'll have the chef adjust it.
Manager Liu is also here, joining us. Don't be polite, say what you think. I genuinely want to hear everyone's opinions."
"The dishes are good, but are these ten cold dishes a bit too much? I suggest reducing them to eight," Wu Youzhi said after tasting a few bites.
"Old Wu is right, it is indeed a bit too much. I remember last time we held the baby banquet, we always had half of each table left, and we couldn't finish it," Pi Xiaoqian said.
"I asked you to taste the dishes, not to save them for me," Guo Xuyang said with a smile.
"Let's disregard this suggestion. If anyone has any suggestions regarding the dishes, you can voice them later.
Here's another toast. Still to express gratitude.
Time is too tight tomorrow, so the groomsmen going with me are relatively relaxed.
The brothers helping at home, please come over early tomorrow.
There are rooms at the villa. You can go to the new house to rest.
Xia Li, please take Ms. Xu and the others to the western villa later.
Those who want to go from home can also go, as there's plenty of space over there.
I've also prepared hotels. Those who don't want to stay at the new house can find Xiao Yun. She'll take you to the hotel later."
Xiao Yun heard Guo Xuyang stand up and say, "Friends, I am Xiao Yun.
There are quite a few new faces here that I'm meeting for the first time.
Those who don't wish to stay at the new house can come find me later. I'll take you to the hotel."
"I'll go to the new house. I have to leave early with Yangzi tomorrow," Pi Xiaoqian said.
"We'll talk about that later. Everyone, please raise your glasses and let's drink this toast," Guo Xuyang tilted his head back and finished his drink again.
After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere slowly became lively.
Xu Dahai walked over to Lu Liang's table.
"Liangzi, I haven't seen you in a long time, have I?"
"What? Are you itching for a fight again?"
"Can we not mention those embarrassing things?"
"When I see you, I want to spar with you."
"Come on, are you addicted to bullying me or something?"
"Why do you have time today?"
"Even if I didn't have time, I'd have to come. I'm here on a mission."
"Still not giving up? Yangzi rarely goes back on his word." Lu Liang knew what they meant: they wanted Guo Xuyang to return.
"We lost half of our men on the last outing. They were all elites, and the higher-ups are distressed."
"I remember President Jiang specifically came to find Yangzi, but Yangzi refused very thoroughly."
"Is there no way at all?"
"None. He welcomes you if you come to his wedding.
However, he might be unhappy if you bring this matter up with him."
"Of course, we came specifically for the wedding, but we also have a mission."
"Forget the mission. I suggest you abandon this mission directly."
"Alright, I'll tell Captain Xin about it later. It's been a long time, let's have a drink together, shall we?"
"Good things come in pairs. Let's have two."
"Who's afraid of whom? Two it is," Xu Dahai said, not to be outdone, and downed a glass.
As Lu Liang and Xu Dahai were drinking, Xin Dali called Xin Rui over.
"Why did you come?"
"Lily and I are friends, and Yangzi is also our friend, so of course, we came to help."
"I heard you're not planning to work anymore?"
"Who told you that? I'm just taking a temporary leave of absence."
"What's the deal with that money?"
"What money?" Xin Rui played dumb.
"What money are you talking about? Mom told me everything.
You're not young anymore. If you find someone suitable, we won't object.
But forget about Yangzi, he's getting married tomorrow."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Yangzi and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think."
"It's best if it's not. Look at your table, I know several of them are Yangzi's girlfriends. You shouldn't join the fun anymore."
"I understand. Why do you have time to come?"
"Of course, we have to come and congratulate Yangzi on his wedding. We are comrades."
"Oh. No wonder."
"No wonder what?"
"I asked him how he knew you, and he wouldn't say. If you hadn't said anything, I really wouldn't have known you were comrades."
"Don't tell anyone. I accidentally let it slip. Also, don't tell Mom about these things."
"What's in it for me?"
"You little girl, still thinking about benefits. When I get back, I'll pick a star from the sky and give it to you."
"Tsk. That'll be a long time coming. By the way, Brother, I think there's a nice girl at our table. How about I introduce her to you?"
"Forget it. About eighty percent of the girls here have some connection to Yangzi. I don't want to get involved in this mess."
"Does Yangzi look that bad in your eyes?"
"It's not that. It's mainly what friends have told me. He has a good relationship with women."
"I can believe that."
"I'm warning you, girl. Stay away from Yangzi, and don't play with fire."
"Don't you know what kind of person your sister is? It's fine," Xin Rui said, not even believing herself.
Tong Xin had already sensed everything, but she didn't say much.
Speaking too much at this occasion was not wise.
She was also observing Wang Yu. This girl didn't have much on her mind and should be easy to approach.
"What's your name?" she asked, walking up to Wang Yu.
"My name is Wang Yu. Who are you?"
"I'm a friend of Guo Xuyang. Are you his friend too?"
"No. I'm Xiao Xi's classmate, and I came along to play." Wang Yu said, glancing at Jiang Wu Xi.
Tong Xin nodded at Jiang Wu Xi.
"You're Guo Xuyang's friend?"
"Yes. May I know your name?"
Jiang Wu Xi was also curious about Tong Xin, wondering what kind of relationship this girl, who looked like a high school student, had with Guo Xuyang.
"I'm Tong Xin. I went on a business trip with Guo Xuyang before," Tong Xin said vaguely.
In this short time, she had already figured out the situation with Jiang Wu Xi and Wang Yu.
