The Gu family is huge. Mr. Gu has three brothers. Mr. Gu has an elder brother who is very capable and has two sons and three daughters. All his children are successful. Unfortunately, the elder brother's family had a car accident on the way to visit the grave, leaving only the six-year-old youngest son Gu Yuan, who is 31 years old this year, older than Gu Zhen and Gu Jialiang, and is a judge.

Director Gu became the heir after his eldest brother died. He also has a younger brother named Gu Xinxing, who is the president of an international shipping company under the Gu Group. He has two sons and one daughter. His son Gu Feng works in the Gu Group, his daughter Gu Xiang has just returned from studying abroad and is also preparing to work in the Gu Group, and his youngest son is still studying abroad.

The Gu family has many descendants, all of whom are blood relatives. They gather in the Gu mansion on important festivals.

There were two tall Christmas trees in the courtyard at the gate, hung with gifts. Gu Zhen took her up the stairs and walked along a water corridor to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall is in the annex building, and most parties are held in the banquet hall. The servants coming and going bowed respectfully to Gu Zhen and walked in holding exquisite silver plates.

It was warm as spring in the banquet hall. Su Lingzhi took off her coat and handed it to the maid who came over. As Gu Zhen walked in, she heard a burst of laughter.

Director Gu sat in the main seat while the members of the Gu family sat in the lounge area and talked. Gu Yuan was talking about an interesting court incident in the district, which caused a burst of laughter.

When Gu Zhen brought Su Lingzhi over, the younger generations all stood up, except Gu Jialiang. Gu Jialiang's face looked extremely ugly when he saw Su Lingzhi!

Gu Zhen introduced them calmly, and Su Lingzhi greeted Gu Yuan, Gu Feng, and Gu Xiang one by one. They were all very friendly and smiled at each other. Gu Xiang kept looking at Su Lingzhi, with surprise and a little inquiry.

"Mr. Gu, have a happy Christmas Eve." After greeting Mr. Gu, Su Lingzhi sat down with Gu Zhen.

Director Gu nodded with a smile on his face, "Ms. Su is more beautiful than what you see on TV."

Everyone laughed. Su Lingzhi was generous. Facing everyone's gaze, she was not afraid. She was calm and demure. The Su family members came over soon, and everyone stood up to greet each other. Gu Jialiang came over, and even Director Gu stood up and shook hands with Su Ming with a smile. Su Lingzhi wanted to stand up with everyone, but Gu Zhen held her hand. He was as steady as a rock, took the tea that the servant had just brought over, and put it in Su Lingzhi's hand.

"It's milk tea, try the flavor."

She was Gu Zhen's person, so naturally she listened to Gu Zhen's words. Amidst the pleasantries, she sat with Gu Zhen and enjoyed milk tea in an unconventional way.

The tea is the best tea, and the milk is fresh milk shipped by air. It tastes great, slightly sweet, and has a strong milk flavor.

"Delicious."

The Su family members also took their seats, right opposite Su Lingzhi and Gu Zhen. Separated by a round table, it did not seem awkward. In reality, it was the Su family who were invited by the Gu family.

Chen Man has been busy arranging banquet meals and other trivial matters and has not been in the hall. Tonight is Christmas Eve and everyone is saying auspicious words.

Su Lingzhi sat next to Gu Zhen and acted like a well-behaved and obedient canary, feeling quite comfortable.

Gu Xiang took the initiative to talk to Su Lingzhi, "Ms. Su, I really like your performance. I have also been to the performance at the Sports Center. You sing Cantonese songs really well."

Gu Xiang is three years older than Su Lingzhi. She is the only little princess of the Gu family. She has been pampered since she was a child. She has a healthy honey-colored skin and a European and American girl's charm. She has a sweet smile and is very attractive. Su Lingzhi smiled and chatted with her. Gu Xiang also likes Cantonese songs. They also have a few songs they like very much.

Director Gu and Su Ming were having a pleasant chat. There was still some time before the banquet started, so Gu Zhen took Su Lingzhi to the annex building next to the banquet hall.

Su Wan was sitting next to Gu Jialiang. She saw Gu Zhen taking Su Lingzhi out from the corner of her eye and felt relieved. Su Lingzhi's presence seemed to remind her that she was the fake daughter of the Su family, a counterfeit. Even though Xiang Li loved her, Su Wan still felt uncomfortable.

Why did she come!

hateful!

The annex building next to the banquet hall has three floors. Gu Zhen's room is on the second floor. Going up the spiral staircase, the room on the east side is Gu Zhen's.

The room is nearly 50 square meters, connected to a study room. The decoration is a bit old, but because it is cleaned regularly, the room is very clean, and the bedding is all new. The main desk in the study room is full of study materials from the junior class, and the bookshelf next to it is also full of reference books. Su Lingzhi can find the papers that Gu Zhen did when he was a teenager. There are dozens of pens in the pencil case on the desk, which is neatly organized.

"I lived here from the age of six to fourteen." Gu Zhen said that when you open the window on the south side of the study, you will see the garden, which has a very good view and is not far from the main building.

"Are you happy living here?" Su Lingzhi asked.

Gu Zhen leaned against the desk, thinking of himself studying hard when he was a teenager. He reached out to Su Lingzhi, who held his hand. Gu Zhen held her in his arms, "How do you define happiness?"

"I have expectations in my heart, and I am happy."

At least, there is a goal to pursue.

"That's fine." Gu Zhen recalled his unremarkable youth life, which could only be described as very boring. "At that time, it seemed that there was nothing to do except study."

"What else can a teenager do besides studying?" Su Lingzhi said with a smile, "You must be the kind of child that your parents don't need to worry about."

She is a gifted child, well-behaved and obedient, and studies hard. She is the one that her parents always look up to during parent-teacher meetings and is looked up to by others.

"No, the old man never paid much attention to me. He was also very busy at that time, working overtime every day. I went to study, he went to work, I went to sleep, and he was still at get off work. The longest time we didn't meet was three months."

"Then you were bullied by Gu Jialiang, did you tell him?"

"Tell him what to do. This is between me and Gu Jialiang."

Su Lingzhi couldn't help but feel distressed. When a child is bullied, he always likes to complain. This is his nature. He likes to find a stronger person to protect him, such as parents or teachers. He didn't say a word, perhaps because he knew very well that even if he complained, Director Gu would not protect him.

"If anyone bullies you in the future, I will teach him a lesson." Su Lingzhi felt an inexplicable desire to protect Gu Zhen. It was obvious that no one could bully Gu Zhen now.

Gu Zhen laughed. The warm light strips in the study softened his features. The song "Merry Christmas" rang out downstairs. Gu Zhen said, "They always have such a lively Christmas."

Chinese New Year and Christmas are the most lively festivals for the Gu family.

"Will you stay with them?"

"I'll be upstairs reading."

"Won't they come and invite you?" Su Lingzhi felt distressed. The Gu family was celebrating the festival together, but he was studying alone.

"I will spend Christmas with you in the future, so you don't have to envy them." Su Lingzhi couldn't help but think of a picture in his mind: a lonely boy sitting at the desk, unable to finish his paper, listening to Christmas songs and the laughter downstairs. No matter how much he pretended not to care, he was actually looking forward to someone spending the holiday with him.

So pitiful.

"Don't you like Christmas?"

"Women are fickle. In order to accompany you, I can try to love Christmas."

Gu Zhen's heart moved slightly, and he leaned over to kiss Su Lingzhi. When he was young, he never thought that one day he would bring a girl here and kiss her while sitting on the desk.

Gu Xiang came up to call them and said that there was something important to announce. The two followed Gu Xiang downstairs. Su Lingzhi couldn't help but ask, "What's it?"

Gu Xiang spread his hands, not knowing the truth either.

When they arrived at the banquet hall, the atmosphere was harmonious. Mr. Gu was announcing a good news: Gu Jialiang and Su Wan had been engaged for many years and it was time for them to get married. The wedding date was set for next spring.

There was a lot of congratulations inside. Su Lingzhi lowered his voice and asked softly, "Why did they get married after all the trouble they had? Su Wan was able to marry Gu Jialiang because of his love brain, but he scolded Su Wan so harshly that his filter was broken. His love brain should have been cured. Why did they still want to get married?"
