968 Pan Zirui Is also Invited

Wen Yulan was just an ordinary citizen, and the last thing she wanted to do was to annoy rich or powerful people. If it happened, she couldn't bear the result.

Gu Ning was amused by their reaction.

Gu Qingshi and the other kids closed their mouths at once, and didn't dare to make a sound. Jiang Xu and Gu Qinyang also felt uneasy. Chu Peihan and the others were nervous too, especially Yu Mixi and Zhang Tianping.

...

People who stayed in the Tang family's house for dinner were all close relatives or friends of theirs. Normal relatives and friends would gather together in a five-star hotel.

Given the Tang family's social status, there were many attendees for today's wedding, but not many of them were close friends.

Take Gu Ning as an example, she had countless acquaintances and friends, like Bai Xueyan in City G, Xu Qinyin and Gu Anna in the capital and so forth. However, only Chu Peihan and her other schoolmates were her best friends. She wouldn't invite common friends or acquaintances until her own wedding.

Gu Ning had also called Pan Zirui, but she didn't tell him that it was her mother's wedding at the beginning. She just asked him whether he would be free on that day. Pan Zirui wasn't in City B, so Gu Ning was unwilling to tell him more details, in case it would interrupt his work.

Pan Zirui asked her for the reason, and Gu Ning explained that she simply wanted to invite him to share a meal together.

...

Right at this moment, Gu Ning received Pan Zirui's call.

"Hey, boss, I'm coming to City B this afternoon, and I'll attend a wedding with my family at 4 pm," Pan Zirui said once Gu Ning picked his call up. "Oh, boss, I just remembered that you're a relative of the Tang family, right? Today is Lord Tang's wedding day. You must be invited, right?"

Pan Zirui didn't remember that Gu Ning was the Tang family's relative until now.

"Yes," Gu Ning said. "Well, actually I called you that day to invite you to attend today's wedding, because the bride is my mother, and the bridegroom is my father."

Gu Ning had no intention to keep it a secret anymore.

"What?" Pan Zirui was shocked. "Do you mean that Lord Tang is your step-father?"

Pan Zirui couldn't believe his ears.

"Um, he isn't my step-father, but biological father. An accident happened 19 years ago, so we were separated till now. Well, it's a long story. Since you're invited, come here now!" Gu Ning said.

"Oh, sure, sure." Pan Zirui understood that he shouldn't ask more questions about that. "Can I come with my friends?"

"Why not? I planned to invite them too, but I'm not very familiar with them," Gu Ning said.

"Great, I'll come with them," Pan Zirui said, then hung up.

While they were talking on the phone, Tang Yunfan already carried Gu Man in his arms after getting out of the car. Afterwards, he walked along the red carpet towards the front gate.

Gu Ning and the others followed at once.

...

Tang Yunfan put Gu Man down at the door of the main building, then stepped over a small brazier into the hall.

In the hall of the Tang family's house, Tang Haifeng was sitting on a beautiful wooden chair. He beamed with happiness seeing the loving couple walk inside.

They knelt down before Tang Haifeng and served him a cup of tea. Tang Haifeng then gave each of them a red envelope, and Gu Man called him her father, which was the last step of the ceremony.

Once the ceremony was done, it was time to rest before the dinner party.

All the guests were chatting and drinking tea in the yard.

"Boss, I still can't believe it. How come your biological father is Lord Tang? Given your father's position in City B, you can do whatever you want and nobody would dare to act against you," Hao Ran said.

Gu Ning cocked her eyebrow. "Do you think that I'm the kind of person who bullies others as they like just because of their family background?"

Hao Ran was struck dumb for a second, then laughed with embarrassment. "No, no, of course you're not."

It was only 11 am now, and the dinner party wouldn't begin until 4 pm, so Gu Ning proposed to have lunch outside and have some fun together.

Everyone got excited hearing that. In fact, they felt a little bored staying in the Tang family's house. They were a bunch of active young people after all.

Gu Ning then went to ask Tang Yunfan for permission, and Tang Yunfan agreed.

When Cao Wenxin heard that they were going to have fun together outside, she joined them without delay, but she drove her own car because there wasn't enough space for her in the other cars. Most importantly, she needed to pick Xin Bei up later.

"I've had enough dishes in those fancy restaurants. Why don't we go to a mountain villa to relax for a while?"

"Let's go!"

They left the Tang family's house together.

...

Pan Zirui called Guan Bin without hesitation the second he found out that Tang Yunfan was Gu Ning's biological father.

Guan Bin was also shocked when he learned the news. "Seriously? Are you sure?" Guan Bin couldn't believe his ears either.

"I'm sure, and you heard it right. The chairman of Tanghuang is my boss's biological father. Today is her father and mother's wedding day, and we're invited too." Pan Zirui explained.
