Chapter 379 Zhou Zhiyuan Attends the Family Recognition Banquet?
"who?"
Is it worth Uncle Zhang going out of his way to report to her?
Gu Ning squeezed Ivory White List's hand and followed it for a moment, her eyes almost glued to the list.
Without waiting for Uncle Zhang to answer.
Her light pink fingertips were at the end of the list, using a Hero pen that had just absorbed ink to circle a name.
"Is it the Zhao family?"
The ink smeared on the ivory white paper, and the circled names were also dyed with color.
Uncle Zhang paused, nodded, shook his head, and lowered his voice, "It's the Zhao family, not just the Zhao family."
Now, it's strange.
Gu Ning only sent messages to Zhao Jianan and Zhao Guodong.
This is her friend, a friend who can reach the door of An's family.
As for the Lang Jingshan brothers and sisters and Sun Shanghe, she sent invitations, but they were rejected.
They said that settling down was not a place they could come to.
Moreover, they have no intention of clinging to Anjia.
Gu Ning was puzzled.
Uncle Zhang really didn't know what to say. He thought for a while and then said, "Miss Gu Ning, you will know when you go out and take a look."
If he hadn't driven away An Xuehai and Gu Yao.
I didn't know that there were so many people coming under the wall of An's courtyard.
Uncle Zhang's ambiguous attitude means that the matter is difficult.
Gu Ning hummed and placed the list in her hand on the long vermilion table.
Immediately, he straightened his sleeves and followed out slowly.
She came out avoiding people because she was the focus today. She followed the path and exited the gate.
Facing the sun hiding behind the clouds, I looked over.
When you see someone coming.
Gu Ning was suddenly startled. She felt like she didn't know what day it was.
It's Zhou Zhiyuan.
She hasn't seen him for a long time.
He wore a navy blue coat with cross-button buttons that reached just below his Adam's apple, just enough to expose his raised Adam's apple.
The tightly closed buttons and the neat collar without a trace of wrinkles all show that he is so formal and rigid as to be ascetic.
And he lost some weight, which also made his facial features more three-dimensional.
He has sword-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin, tightly pursed lips. He is extremely tough and extremely cold.
Like a sword that has been silent for a long time and is about to be unsheathed, it is extremely sharp.
The light stood quietly.
The whole body exudes an intimidating and intimidating aura.
Gu Ning was in a daze.
It was obviously a few months, but she felt like many years had passed.
It seemed as if he wanted to forget about the man in front of him until he disappeared into thin air.
Gu Ning is looking at Zhou Zhiyuan, and Zhou Zhiyuan is also looking at Gu Ning. She has extremely white skin and bright facial features.
She seems to be extremely suitable for wearing this bold color, and the red on her body complements each other perfectly.
Incredibly bright.
It is also noble beyond measure.
Zhou Zhiyuan moved his lips, preparing countless thoughts, but at this moment, he was a little unable to talk about it.
It was Gu Ning who spoke first. She straightened her back and her eyes fell on the twigs of the sycamore tree three inches away from Zhou Zhiyuan.
"Comrade Zhou, if I remember correctly, you don't seem to be on the invitation list for the recognition banquet."
Her tone was light, neither sad nor happy.
There is no anger, no anger, just endless alienation.
The sound of "Comrade Zhou" seemed to separate Zhou Zhiyuan from her world.
The gentle tone made Zhou Zhiyuan's heart sting. He hadn't looked at her carefully for several months.
Every time I would look at him from afar and leave in a hurry.
Get closer, and with his intact eyesight, he can clearly see the weak, slender and fragile capillaries on Gu Ning's face, underneath the porcelain white skin.
The hands under Zhou Zhiyuan's sleeves undoubtedly had to be tightened a bit.
He hummed, "I'm coming with Jian'an."
And Zhao Jianan standing behind him, "..."
He is innocent, okay?
I should have come early to attend Gu Ning's recognition party.
As a result, Zhou Zhiyuan was transferred alone in the name of the public, just for a research report.
He stayed up all night and all morning.
His face, which should have been as gentle as jade, had a hint of weariness that could not be concealed.
Zhao Jianan sighed, "Comrade Gu Ning, I——"
I really can't help you.
I didn’t get rid of Zhou Zhiyuan, the dog-skin plaster.
God knows how much he wanted to attend Gu Ning's recognition banquet alone.
Gu Ning took a deep breath and nodded towards Zhao Jianan, indicating that he was not to blame.
Then he looked at the string hanging behind Zhao Jianan, "Where are they?"
Behind Zhao Jianan are Zhao Guodong, Zhao Mingqing, and five-year-old Zhao Yuanyuan.
Even the three brothers, Lang Jingshan and Sun Shanghe, who Gu Ning had invited before but were unwilling to come.
This is almost all gathered together.
Facing Gu Ning's gaze, Sun Shanghe subconsciously shrank his shoulders, "I don't want to come!"
However, there is a King of Hell urging me to die!
He had to come.
Lang Jingshan didn't explain that much. He held Yingying's hand and whispered to Gu Ning, "Sister, I'm so hungry."
The young man has delicate features and moist eyes, and the words he speaks make people feel soft.
Just a few words.
Gu Ning, who had a sullen face before, was instantly defeated.
She said fiercely, "Go in and eat first."
Once you say this.
Lang Jingshan smiled subconsciously. He was naturally good-looking, as pure and clean as a green bamboo, "Thank you, sister!"
Yingying next to her followed suit and said in a sweet voice, "Thank you, sister!"
Gu Ning raised her hand and touched Yingying's head, preparing to let Uncle Zhang take Lang Jingshan in.
Then she thought about it, this child was originally afraid of dealing with situations like the An family. She thought about it and said to Uncle Zhang, "Forget it, I'll take Xiao Jing in."
Uncle Zhang was a little surprised.
Lang Jingshan straightened his back subconsciously, and his red lips curled up.
He knew that he would always be the only one in his sister's heart.
No one can compare.
Zhou Zhiyuan is not good, and Zhao Jianan is even less good.
"What about me?"
Zhao Mingqing was not too excited to see the excitement. He blinked his peach blossom eyes and pretended to be sad.
"Sister Gu Ning, you didn't even give me an invitation. I've already come to your door. Are you still not letting me in?"
He shrank his neck and said, "I'm going to freeze to death."
"That's right, I'm freezing to death, I'm freezing to death."
Five-year-old Zhao Yuanyuan looks like a baby with dumplings, sniffing and a nose that is red from the cold. No matter how you look at it, he looks pitiful.
Although Zhao Guodong regarded himself as a man, he nodded seriously at this moment.
It was indeed extremely cold today.
Look at this bunch of people scrambling for the first place.
Gu Ning rubbed his eyebrows in pain, "Go in, Uncle Zhang, take Zhao Mingqing, Zhao Guodong, and Zhao Yuanyuan in."
After a pause, he thought about it and said, "Let them sit with Yuan Yuan."
After speaking, she looked towards Langjingshan.
Lang Jingshan was extremely smart. He couldn't bear to put Gu Ning in trouble and hurriedly said, "I'll go find Sister Yuan Yuan too."
He knew Yuan Yuan and knew that she was Gu Ning's only friend at school.
Gu Ning hummed and pinched Yingying's face, "Your sister Yuan Yuan has White Rabbit toffee, go ahead!"
Yingying hummed obediently, and then, Lang Jingshan turned back three times and entered the courtyard, not forgetting to tell her, "Sister, you have to come in quickly!"
Gu Ning waved to Yingying and nodded in agreement.
As soon as they leave.
Gu Ning, Zhao Jianan and Zhou Zhiyuan were the only three people left at the scene.
The atmosphere suddenly condensed.
Gu Ning didn't look at Zhou Zhiyuan, but stretched out her hand towards Zhao Jianan, "Where's the invitation?"
Her hands are white and tender, with slender fingers.
When I open my hands to ask for something, I feel a little more beautiful.
Zhao Jianan lowered his head and forced himself to avert his gaze. Don't look at anything inappropriate. It is really ungentlemanly.
He thought for a moment and took out an invitation from his briefcase.
However, the invitation was stained with water and had obviously been soaked. Even though it had been carefully collected by the host, it now looked wrinkled.
"Before, I accidentally got wet with snow—"
Zhao Jianan's gentle tone was a bit apologetic.
Actually no, during the dispute, the invitation fell into the half-melted snow nest.
Dirty.
However, even so, Zhao Jianan was not willing to throw it away.
Because this invitation was given to him personally by Gu Ning.
He wanted to keep it well.
Gu Ning frowned, "It doesn't matter."
She took the invitation and said, "Brother Jian'an, come in. They want you to look after me more during the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
Zhao Jianan brought three younger brothers here at once.
This was something Gu Ning didn't expect. She could almost imagine what kind of trouble Zhao Mingqing's out-of-touch temper would cause.
Zhao Jian'an also thought of this. He rubbed his eyebrows, but did not turn around. Instead, he glanced at Zhou Zhiyuan, who had been silent.
Zhou Zhiyuan didn't move.
His gaze remained on Gu Ning.
From the beginning to now.
He watched Gu Ning's expressions towards each of them.
She doted on Lang Jingshan, tolerated Zhao Mingqing, and treated Zhao Guodong as a good friend.
Only, it was different for Zhao Jianan.
Think of this.
Zhou Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, pinched his knuckles, and the knuckles clicked, indicating the master's displeasure at this moment.
Gu Ning glanced at Zhou Zhiyuan, looked away, and said to Zhao Jianan, "It doesn't matter, I will go in soon."
With these words, Zhao Jianan left.
He has a graceful figure and is as gentle as jade, and his personality is just like anyone else's, making people extremely comfortable.
Even in this situation.
He still didn't ask a word, and he was extremely gentle and gentle towards Gu Ning.
Wait until he leaves.
Gu Ning and Zhou Zhiyuan were the only ones left at the scene.
There was an eerie silence in the air.
Only the occasional chirping of birds in the sky broke the tranquility.
Gu Ning stared at Zhou Zhiyuan for a moment.
This man she had tried her best to forget, the man she tried to forget by being busy.
At this moment, she had to admit that when she saw him.
My mood will still fluctuate.
Gu Ning lowered her eyes, the tall eyelashes on her eyelids covering all the emotions in her eyes.
Even with his articulation, he immediately started to ask, "Comrade Zhou, what do you mean?"
Many people have called me Comrade Zhou.
Zhou Zhiyuan never felt anything.
However, when it came from Gu Ning's mouth, it made people feel a little heartbroken.
Zhou Zhiyuan clenched his fist, placed it on his chest, beat it gently, and said in a hoarse voice, "Ning Ning, back then——"
Gu Ning raised her hand and suddenly interrupted the other party, "It's best not to mention the past."
"Comrade Zhou, we didn't do it the way we did before."
Such decisive words shocked Zhou Zhiyuan. He raised his head and looked at Gu Ning in disbelief.
"Ning Ning——"
"Please call me Gu Ning. Thank you. We are not that familiar."
Gu Ning raised her wrist and looked at the time, "You have one minute left. If nothing happens, please leave as soon as possible."
She seemed a little impatient and subconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes.
Zhou Zhiyuan noticed this and quickly calmed down.
"The marriage recognition banquet is not as simple as you think. After today's marriage recognition banquet, it will still be difficult for you to integrate into this circle."
Anpingle and his family found it from outside.
This was destined to separate their family from the rest of the circle for decades.
Even if Mr. An starts the battle with a family recognition banquet.
However, it is still difficult for Gu Jianshe and others.
Didn't watch it.
No one in their compound came to attend the marriage recognition banquet.
At this point alone, the signal is obvious enough.
After hearing this, Gu Ning suddenly raised his head and asked, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Comrade Zhou, whether I am in trouble or not is my own business, isn't it?"
These two rhetorical questions really made Zhou Zhiyuan a little overwhelmed.
He knew that what happened to the bridge pier last time would make Gu Ning blame him and break up with him.
However, he was excusable.
To protect her.
However, Zhou Zhiyuan did not expect that it had been so long.
Gu Ning is still the same as before.
Zhou Zhiyuan realized a problem in vain, that is, he wanted to move the relationship forward, but Gu Ning was resisting.
After realizing this.
Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly changed his strategy. He stared at her and said bluntly, "Mr. An invited me."
"Telephone."
It should be said that Mr. An made phone calls to almost everyone in the compound.
However, unlike the people below, the people below regard Anjia and Anlao as the patron saints of Anzhou City.
However, the people in the compound are not.
People in the compound believe in organization.
It was the unity of the organization that allowed Anju City to preserve its original glory.
Anjia has merit, but he is not a god.
Gu Ning was stunned for a moment and said, "It's impossible."
She denied it without thinking.
Behind him, Mr. An was helped out by Uncle Zhang, "It's Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan who I invited."
The An family has no heirs.
The outcome of future decline can almost be predicted.
However, the Zhou family is not the same. With Zhou Zhiyuan in the Zhou family, he can protect the Zhou family for at least forty years.
In forty years, too many things can happen.
It is also possible that after his death, someone can protect the An family's descendants.
Gu Ning was really stunned when she heard Mr. An's answer. She looked at Mr. An.
Mr. An nodded towards Gu Ning, "Ning Ning, I did invite Comrade Zhou."
Gu Ning suddenly didn't know what to say.
She wanted to be motivated and leave like this.
However, her parents are still inside.
Her friends are inside too.
Gu Ning fell silent.
Old An sighed, went up and patted Gu Ning's shoulder to express comfort.
Immediately, he walked to Zhou Zhiyuan and shook his hand, "Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan, thank you!"
Only the two of them can understand this thank you.
And Ning Ning is still young, she will understand later.
Zhou Zhiyuan held An Lao's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Family, you're welcome."
