"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
Guo Jingze was already standing behind the two women. He had changed into a set of light gray home clothes. He was handsome, elegant, and gentle. Everything about him reflected his good upbringing and cultivation.
He would not have come over even if his mother did not invite him.
"Come here. We were just talking about something good." Wu Meiyun could not hide her happiness on her face.
She pulled her son over and said with a smile, "Xiao Xiao and I have discussed it. We plan to introduce Xiao Xiao to our group of sisters in the next few days. There will be a small gathering."
Guo Jingze's expression immediately changed. He looked coldly at his mother and said with suppressed anger, "Why didn't you discuss this with me? Xiao Xiao doesn't like this kind of gathering. I told you when we got married that Xiao Xiao could choose not to attend the Guo Family's ceremonial events …"
The Guo Jingze that Mu Chenyan had met had always been gentle and refined. Even to strangers, he would still maintain a good upbringing and reserved manner. She did not know why he was so angry at this moment.
Wu Meiyun felt very sad when she saw that her son, who rarely spoke to her in such a tone, had suddenly turned against her just because his wife did not want to attend a gathering.
She moved her lips. Her eyes were filled with grievance, but she did not say anything in the end.
Mu Chenyan saw the loneliness in Wu Meiyun's expression and knew that a sad mother was suppressing the disappointment in her heart. She hurriedly stopped Guo Jingze. "Jingze, I was willing to attend!"
Guo Jingze was shocked. He turned to look at Mu Chenyan. His mouth was slightly open as if he was still digesting this news.
Mu Chenyan nodded. Her bright eyes made people feel tender when they looked at her. "Mom got my permission just now. I think that since we've been married for three years, it's not a bad thing to let a few aunties meet us. After all, I'm made of flesh and blood. I'm not afraid of melting like candy!"
As she spoke, Mu Chenyan smiled casually. Wu Meiyun looked at her daughter-in-law gratefully.
Guo Jingze seemed to be disappointed and uneasy when he heard this. "You've been staying in Capital City for too long. Teacher Shen …"
"There shouldn't be any problems there. I'll ask him for a few days off!"
Mu Chenyan was not proactive about the gathering. She only thought that because of this matter, her mother-in-law and Guo Jingze would have a rift, and she could not escape responsibility.
Guo Jingze didn't seem to be able to find any more reasons to stop them. He said calmly, "Since you've discussed it, then let's do it! If you need any help, I'll ask Liu Ming to come over! "
Mu Chenyan had a feeling that Guo Jingze's heart was extremely unwilling. Previously, it was true that she was unwilling to show her face in public. Guo Jingze had always supported her, but Mu Chenyan merely regarded it as a form of respect. However, Guo Jingze's current behavior and expression seemed to indicate that he was very unwilling to introduce Mu Chenyan to his circle of friends.
"There's no need for you. Just go and do your work. The guards here can handle it."
Wu Meiyun was secretly overjoyed. When she returned to the bedroom, before she had time to tell Old Guo, she first announced it in the group of her friends.
The group was in an uproar and everyone was discussing it.
The Guo Family's daughter-in-law had been married for three years. Not to mention in person, they hadn't even seen a single photo of her.
Guo Jingze had hidden his wife so well that outsiders were still speculating whether there was something wrong with the child's mother.
However, those who had seen Yan Muyu praised that the child was beautiful and looked like a porcelain doll.
The only thing that was incomprehensible was that the Guo Family actually agreed to let the child take his mother's surname. Although the Guo Family was not the first in Capital City, they were still a distinguished family. This boy was the eldest grandson!
It was enough to show how high the status of this daughter-in-law was. Needless to say, the sisters in the group responded to Wu Meiyun's invitation and began to prepare the gowns for the gathering the next day.
Jiao Shufen turned the house upside down, but she still couldn't find a suitable gown.
She looked in the mirror and lamented that she had gained 10 pounds. She complained that time was unforgiving.
When Shao Yibai came back from outside, he just happened to see his mother putting on a green cheongsam. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, are you trying to stir up trouble?"
"Stir up trouble, my foot! Impudent! "
Jiao Shufen tried it on, but she was still not satisfied. She complained, "The day after tomorrow is your Auntie Meiyun's gathering. She wants to show off her daughter-in-law. How am I supposed to go out without clothes?"
Shao Yibai looked at his mother with a dumbfounded expression. There were seven or eight closets full of clothes in the house, but she kept complaining that she was "running around naked." He couldn't help but sigh, "This woman really thinks that she has no clothes even if she has a thousand clothes!"
"Oh right, what did you say just now? Auntie Meiyun wants to introduce her daughter-in-law? "
Shao Yibai also knew Guo Jingze. He knew that he got married a few years ago because he was pregnant. A smile rose in his heart. "He actually got himself a wife? Isn't there a rumor in Capital City that there's something wrong with him? "
Jiao Shufen had already sensed her son's deep malice. She knocked on Shao Yibai's forehead. "What's wrong with him? Don't listen to those rumors! When you were young, you were very wild and always bullied people who were fair and clean. Now he has a wife and a child. Look at you! "
Shao Yibai was quite dissatisfied after being knocked on the head. He said in a neutral tone, "It's not that you don't have a daughter-in-law. It's just that you didn't cherish her when she was in front of you!"
Jiao Shufen knew that Shao Yibai was still blaming her for Su Qingcheng, so the mother and son quickly ended the topic.
"You should also go to the gathering the day after tomorrow. Jingze is now a grown up. You can't be impolite and cause trouble for him!"
Shao Yibai couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard his mother's arrangement. "How old are we? Do you think I'll ride on his head and beat him up? Since it's a gathering, I'll ask Yuan Xuan to come. I heard that your friends have daughters waiting to be married. Maybe we can take this opportunity to persuade this stubborn man to find a good daughter! "
Jiao Shufen took it seriously and sighed. "You're so thoughtful. Hurry up and call Xuan!"
Yuan Xuan received a call from Shao Yibai saying that he wanted to attend a gathering. He smiled and refused. "I've just come to the capital, and I don't know anyone in the circle you mentioned."
Shao Yibai knew that Yuan Xuan wouldn't join in the fun. He smiled faintly. "You'll get to know them when you go. Speaking of which, Uncle Guo has a relationship with the Yuan Family. "
Yuan Xuan listened and thought for a while. "You mean Guo Haisheng?"
Yuan Xuan remembered that one of his father's former comrades was working in the capital before he retired. Although the Guo Family didn't send anyone over, they sent gifts every year. Old Madam also once said that if there was a chance, he should come to the capital to return the gifts.
"Okay, I'll attend!" Yuan Xuan suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.
