Chapter 3178 Shen Tianyu 578

Jing Hong's lips curved into a smile. This old Gu truly is a shrewd and cunning person.

Even in times like these, I still remember to thank him.

He touched his glass to Gu Aoting's, saying, "Old man, I'm not here to be a lucky charm."

He reached out and pulled Bai Chenxue, who had just stood up, into his arms. "I crossed mountains and rivers, weathered storms and traversed vast seas of people, just to find my Xuexue. As for the rest, it's everyone's destiny, arranged by fate. The reason my great-grandson and Xuexue never met is because they were destined to be apart. Xuexue and I hit it off immediately, quickly got married, and had a baby, because we were destined to be husband and wife."

Even though Bai Chenxue heard Jing Hong say sweet words every day, she still got goosebumps all over her body.

Where does this "instant connection" come from?

It was clearly him who fought, snatched, sang, and egged on, jumping around, digging traps, and setting up traps, using every possible means.

Gu Aoting's teeth were sore from the numbness!

Living a long life has its advantages; in his lifetime, he finally met someone even more cheesy than himself!

Gu Aoting laughed heartily and patted Jing Hong's arm. "Young man, you're a very honest person. I like you! Treat Miss Xiaobai well; she's a very good girl!"

He tilted his head back and downed the entire glass of red wine!

Jing Hong also finished his drink.

His glass contained baijiu (Chinese liquor).

"Great!" Gu Aoting gave him a thumbs up. "Ah Hong, from now on you're my old friend, despite the age difference! Young friend Ah Hong, you and Miss Xiaobai eat and drink well, don't be shy, treat this manor as your own home!"

Jing Hong smiled and agreed.

Gu Aoting was helped away by his bodyguards.

Jing Hong and Bai Chenxue sat down.

Jing Hong sat upright and began to circulate his internal energy in secret. Before long, a faint mist of alcohol emanated from his body.

Bai Chenxue handed him a glass of water, "Drink more water to sober up."

Jing Hong raised his hand to show her; liquid, like beads of sweat, was seeping from his fingertips, and there was even more on his back.

He said, "It's okay, it's already been expelled."

Bai Chenxue feigned surprise, widening her eyes. "You can even deduce this? You're amazing!"

Jing Hong was very pleased.

No one can praise you as much as your own wife.

He leaned in and brought his lips close to her ear, his voice low and whispered, "Once you give birth to Xiao Jingbai, I'll show you what true power is."

Bai Chenxue blushed with embarrassment, reached out and pushed him, and whispered reproachfully, "Behave yourself, there are so many people here."

Shen Tianyu sat opposite him, and he simply couldn't bear to look at him.

Although I'm too lazy to listen, I can still guess.

Thinking about his daughter growing up and becoming a family with such a man, Shen Tianyu lowered his eyes and couldn't sit still.

He stood up and walked outside.

Yuan Jinzhi hurriedly got up and chased after him.

Walking into the courtyard, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Tianyu looked up at the sky, feeling annoyed.

Yuan Jinzhi wrapped her arms around his waist, "Is this pre-pregnancy syndrome?"

Shen Tianyu didn't want to admit it, but he was just annoyed.

Seeing Jing Hong makes me inexplicably annoyed.

Yuan Jin smiled and said, "Think positively. If it weren't for Jing Hong, we wouldn't have a child. You have to give up something to gain something. Jing Hong is a righteous man, and Miss Bai is beautiful and talented. Their son won't be bad."

That's the logic, but Shen Tianyu was still annoyed.

Yuan Jinzhi hugged him and gently coaxed, "Alright, don't be sad. Today is Chu Fan and Shi Shi's engagement day. Let's go back."

She had a soft heart and rubbed against Shen Tianyu's arm repeatedly.

The power of gentleness can overcome strength, and the restless fire in Shen Tianyu's heart gradually dissipated.

Looking back and seeing that no one was in the courtyard, he pinched Yuan Jinzhi's chin and kissed her hard on the lips.

If Jing Hong can make flirtatious remarks in public, why can't he kiss his own wife?

Yuan Jinzhi smiled brightly, "Brother Tianyu, you're becoming more and more open-minded."

Shen Tianyu looked down at her, his gaze both arrogant and doting. "Of course, those who are near Jin will become red, and those who are near Hong will become yellow."

Yuan Jinzhi smiled with her eyes crinkling, clearly having been led astray by her, yet she insisted on blaming Jing Hong.

Even the most handsome men can get conflicted.

Shen Tianyu took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Gu Chufan: Before the wedding, do not go to rivers, lakes, or seas, and do not engage in extreme sports.

Gu Chufan was already quite drunk by this point.

Even though he had a high alcohol tolerance, he couldn't keep up with the large number of people he had to toast. Shi Shi substituted water for wine, so he couldn't cheat.

Hearing his phone ring, he took it out of his pocket, but couldn't unlock the screen.

Shi Shi helped him untie it.

He could no longer see the words clearly.

Shi Shi read the poem to him.

After listening, Gu Chufan laughed, his tongue stiffening, and said, "Brother Tianyu, you really worry about all of us!"

He raised his glass towards where Shen Tianyu had been sitting and shouted in a strained voice, "Brother Tianyu, brother, let me toast you again! Thank you! No need for words, everything is in the wine!"

He tilted his head back and began to drink.

Shi Shi said in a low voice, "Brother Tianyu has gone out. You can wait until he comes in before you offer him a toast."

But Gu Chufan had already finished his drink.

His glass also contained baijiu (Chinese liquor).

Gu Beixian came over to help Gu Chufan, "Fanfan, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you back to your room to rest."

Gu Chufan turned his head and smiled at him, "Grandpa, I'm so happy today! You should drink more!"

Gu Beixian said, "You should drink, but that's enough. Come on, let's go home and rest. Your great-grandparents, parents, and maternal grandparents will take care of you here."

"On such a happy day, I want to toast everyone!"

Gu Chufan bent down and picked up someone's wine glass from the table, saying to everyone, "Thank you all, thank you all for coming to my and Shi Shi's engagement ceremony! I wish you all success in your careers! May all lovers be united in marriage!"

He tilted his head back to drink.

Su Hua quickly tried to snatch it away.

Unfortunately, Gu Chufan was too tall, and she was getting old, so her limbs were not as agile as when she was young, and she couldn't reach him.

Suddenly, a long, slender hand reached out from behind and snatched the wine glass from Gu Chufan's hand.

The man drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

The person who came was Gu Jinyao.

Holding up his empty glass, he said to everyone, "Today is the day Fanfan and Shishi got engaged. He was so happy that he drank too much. I'll drink this glass for him! Thank you all for coming!"

Gu Beixian's face no longer looked good.

What are you doing?

Stealing his thunder?

If anyone's going to drink this glass of wine, it'll be him drinking it on behalf of Gu Chufan. He's the maternal grandfather, but he's a maternal grandfather, and he's not as close as the paternal grandfather.

Su Hua tugged at Gu Beixian's sleeve, signaling him not to be sour.

Gu Chufan reached out and hugged Gu Jinyao, "Grandpa, thank you, Grandpa! Grandpa, I love you! I love you the most, Grandpa!"

Gu Beixian started to feel jealous again.

He and Gu Jinyao helped Gu Chufan into the car.

Shi Shi followed beside her.

Back at the mountain resort, the two helped Gu Chufan into his villa.

Gu Beixian reminded Shi Shi, "Give him a glass of water first, and I'll go downstairs and have someone make him some hangover soup."

Gu Jinyao said, "On the way here, I already sent a message to my chef to cook it and have it delivered right away."

Gu Beixian felt displeased again.

When he was young, he fawned over Su Hua, which was fine, as he was broad-minded and didn't hold it against her. But when he got old, he started arguing with her about having a grandson.

Gu Beixian raised his voice, "This mere hangover soup will be ready in a few minutes, no need to cook it in advance. I'll have my cook cook it right away and bring it over immediately."

Shi Shi was both amused and exasperated.

She quickly said, "No need, no need, Grandpa, Grandpa, you should go to the hotel. I'll take care of Fanfan."

After finally seeing the two off and feeding Gu Chufan some hangover soup, Shi Shi finally had some peace and quiet.

She looked down at Gu Chufan's handsome, sculpted face and said, "Senior, you promised to keep me in suspense, don't forget."
