630 That nervousness was indescribable
Old master Yu didnât want to be extravagant with his birthday celebration.
He really wanted to keep a low profile.
However, it was impossible for the younger generation of the Yu family to let him handle it secretly.
He had already prepared everything a month ago.
Usually, before the time for the Yu familyâs banquet, the Yu family would go into the small living room to wait and chat with old master Yu for a while. Today was no exception.
everyone had arrived early, and they were all talking and laughing around old master yu.
Old master Yuâs third daughter, Yu Lijia, had already brought her son-in-law Miao Yuwei, her son Miao ran, and her daughters Miao Xi and Miao Jing to the Yu family yesterday.
At this moment, Yu Haoyu and he Jintong had also arrived, and only Yu feibai was left.
yu haoyu thought that he was the last to arrive, but when he saw that yu feibai was not there yet, he immediately asked old master yu, â âGrandpa, the guests are about to arrive. Why isnât big brother here yet?â
thereâs no rush today. Feibai has something to do. Itâs fine if you come later. old master yu said with a smile.
Miao Xi chuckled and said, â Grandpa, is there something good? I heard that big cousin is bringing his girlfriend home today! Is it true?â
Wang Jiahui and Yu Lijiaâs two sisters-in-law had a good relationship. She had told Yu Lijia about Gu Youli.
And Miao Xi had accidentally heard it.
she had always admired yu feibai since she was young. she liked him even more than her own brother, miao ran. every time yu feibai brought her out to play, she couldnât help but feel proud.
The moment Miao Xi said that, the younger generation of the Yu family immediately started to question her.
Even the daughter-in-law of the third son of the Yu family couldnât help but gossip. She asked old master Yu a few questions, but old master Yu didnât say much. He just smiled faintly, his smile unfathomable.
Yu Feifan looked at Yu feimo and asked him if he knew about this.
Yu feimo shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he knew nothing.
In short, Miao Xiâs words made everyoneâs hearts stir. Some were surprised, some were happy, and there was also anger and jealousy.
When Yu Haoyu saw he Jintongâs face full of hatred, disgust, and resentment, his lips curved into a cold smile.
Overestimating his own ability, he didnât even look at what kind of trash he was.
He reached out and took the painting that he had carefully prepared from he Jintongâs hands.
he jintong, who was immersed in her own emotions, was shocked.
Yu Haoyu handed the painting to old master Yu respectfully and said, â Grandpa, I heard that you liked Wen Zhengmingâs paintings the last time. I saw this painting half a year ago and bought it. Iâm waiting for your birthday to present it to you to make you happy. Open it and see if you like it.
In addition to his love for playing chess and drinking tea, old master Yu was also very fond of appreciating the calligraphy and paintings of famous people.
He had collected many famous ancient paintings in his study.
âxuanji, wen zhengming?â Old master Yu looked up at Yu Haoyu in shock.
yu haoyu nodded. â thatâs right, grandpa. didnât you say that the four great scholars of wu zhong didnât like the most famous tang bohu and only loved wen zhengming? â That day, I saw Wen Zhengmingâs âancient tree thatched cottage paintingâ, and it was indeed as Grand and majestic as Grandpa said!â
Yu feibai quickly reached out his hand and said, â thatâs for sure. Wen Zhengmingâs painting and calligraphy skills are extremely comprehensive, and heâs proficient in every single one of them. His landscape paintings are even specially modified.
As he spoke, he had already opened the brocade box and took out the long painting scroll that was wrapped in red silk.
afraid that he would dirty and damage the painting, he had someone lay a white tablecloth on the long table on the side, and then slowly unfolded the painting on it.
the ink painting of the âancient tree cottage paintingâ should be authentic.
Parts of the paper had already faded, and the surface was still a little pockmarked, but it still looked magnificent and majestic.
The crowd held their breath as they watched old master Yu slowly unfurl the painting.
When they saw the whole picture, they all burst out in praise.
Old master Yu looked at it again and again and couldnât stop fondling it. He kept doing well.
Just as everyone was admiring the painting, Yu feibaiâs car arrived outside the Yu family compound.
It was her first time at the Yu family home and it was Yu feibaiâs grandfatherâs birthday too. Gu Youli would be lying if she said that she was not nervous.
It took him several hours just to pick out the clothes before he came.
She rummaged through the entire wardrobe and looked at it over and over again. She changed into nearly a dozen sets of clothes before finally deciding on her current style.
She was wearing a white dress, her long hair was slightly curled, and a few messy strands were tucked behind her head. She had simple and elegant light makeup, and she looked low-key and elegant, but she was also cute. She had the image of a lady from a wealthy family.
Before she got out of the car, Gu Youli took a deep breath and looked at the Grand Yu family mansion in front of her. She turned to Yu feibai and said, â âUm, is it okay for me to do this? Will it really work?â
This was the umpteenth time she had asked Yu feibai this question today.
Yu feibai looked at her and held her hand tightly. He smiled and said, â sure, youâre very beautiful today, so donât be nervous. My Grandpa will definitely like you.
He let go of her hand and got ready to get out of the car.
however, before she could turn around and open the car door, gu youli pulled her back. â âThat, this thing, should I take it off?â
As she spoke, she pointed at the ring that Yu feibai had bought for her.
âWhy do you want to take it off?â Yu feibaiâs deep voice sounded. His gaze was cold as he looked at her.
Gu Youliâs clear little face. itâs just me. Today is the first time Iâve come to your house and the first time Iâve seen your family. What do you mean by wearing a diamond ring on my ring finger? â This doesnât seem too good.â
Yu feibaiâs heart relaxed and he smiled. âThey know that I gave you the ring.â
Gu Youli pouted. you know thatâs not what I wanted to say! she said.
Yu feibai raised his hand and pinched her little face gently. âDonât you think itâs too late to think about this now? Didnât you already see my mother? didnât you also wear this ring that day? she didnât say anything. As for my grandfather, heâll only be happier if he sees it. â
âYou know Iâm not talking about them!â Gu Youli lowered her eyes slightly.
...
She was talking about Yu feibaiâs father, Yu Zhihe.
He was so against her being together with Yu feibai. The first time she visited him, she wore the diamond ring that Yu feibai gave her. It was even on her ring finger.
She was afraid that he would feel that she was trying to show him her power.
Even though she did not like the way Yu feibaiâs father handled certain matters, he was still Yu feibaiâs father.
If she really wanted to be with Yu feibai in the future, she could not let their relationship become even more strained.
