On Old Master Gu's birthday, the weather was surprisingly good.
Old Master Gu had caught a cold two days ago, and Mr. Xia had come to give him an injection every day. Gu Yusheng had been a little worried that he would not be feeling well, but when he got up early in the morning and went to the Gu Mansion, Old Master Gu was sitting on the sofa with a smile on his face. Under the guidance of Nanny Zhang, who was a little old-fashioned, he was doing some auspicious birthday rituals.
Perhaps because it was his birthday, Old Master Gu was in a good mood. When he saw Qin Zhi 'ai, he ignored her as if she did not exist, but he did not stare at her coldly like he usually did.
Gu Yusheng and Qin Zhi 'ai presented the gifts that they had specially chosen at the mall the day before.
Old Master Gu personally received Gu Yusheng's gift and even opened it in front of the two of them. It was a jade peach, crystal clear and obviously of the highest quality.
Nanny Zhang could not help but praise it, which made Old Master Gu smile from ear to ear.
After Nanny Zhang put away Gu Yusheng's birthday gift, Qin Zhi 'ai handed over her own.
Old Master Gu did not take it, but he did not reject it either. He only nodded at Nanny Zhang, who was standing to the side.
Qin Zhi 'ai handed the gift to Nanny Zhang and did not forget to smile sweetly at Old Master Gu. "Grandpa, happy birthday."
Old Master Gu glanced at Qin Zhi 'ai's smiling face and did not speak. He snorted and then began to urge Nanny Zhang to quickly pack up and go to the Peking Hotel.
…
When Old Master Gu, Gu Yusheng, and Qin Zhi 'ai arrived at the Peking Hotel, many guests began to arrive.
With Nanny Zhang's help, Old Master Gu stood at the entrance to welcome the guests. As his grandson, Gu Yusheng naturally had to accompany him. Although Old Master Gu still refused to acknowledge Qin Zhi 'ai as his granddaughter-in-law, Gu Yusheng insisted that Qin Zhi' ai accompany him.
Many people inevitably sized up Qin Zhi 'ai as they entered, and those who were familiar with the Gu family would ask, "Old Master Gu, is this your granddaughter-in-law?"
Every time, Gu Yusheng would rush to answer, "Yes, my wife."
Old Master Gu didn't want to argue with Gu Yusheng in front of outsiders, so he didn't deny it. He pretended that Gu Yusheng hadn't asked and Gu Yusheng hadn't answered. He warmly invited Gu Yusheng in.
…
The Gu family had been a prominent family in the capital for generations, and as Gu Yusheng's business had grown in size over the years, many people had tried to befriend the Gu family. However, the Gu family was small in number, and ever since Gu Yusheng's parents had passed away, there had not been much to celebrate. Now that Old Master Gu's 80th birthday party was about to be held, almost everyone in the capital, regardless of whether they had sent invitations or not, had come. Some people had even traveled from other cities to attend.
Old Master Gu's birthday was supposed to be a joyous occasion, and since the guests had come, it was impossible to turn them away. The banquet continued, and in the end, the banquet hall of the Peking Hotel, which was a few hundred square meters, was filled to the brim.
Old Master Gu loved to listen to Peking Opera, so Gu Yusheng had specially invited the best Peking Opera troupe in the capital. As the guests streamed into the hall, the troupe performed the wonderful "Magu Presents Birthday Gifts."
Their babbling made the atmosphere seem ancient and leisurely.
