Mu Ning just wanted to be invisible, hoping that they would focus on Gu Zhiyin and not take her seriously.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yun Sifei had trouble with her and drew everyone's attention to her.
"Why is she still in the Gu family? She has grown so big, and Gu Zhiyin still doesn't send her out? Does he want to raise her until she grows old?"
"It doesn't matter if Gu Zhiyin is late, she will also be late. This is because Gu Zhiyin is protecting her. It's lawless."
"Country girl, what kind of rules can I expect her to know? I thought I wouldn't see her this year, so I followed her here shamelessly. The New Year's Eve is really off-putting, and I can't even eat the New Year's Eve dinner."
Mu Ning rolled his eyes in his mind, thinking she wanted to come?
She knew she would be ridiculed when she came. The relatives of the Gu family were really rude, saying the same thing every year.
She was about to endure it, but unexpectedly, the man sitting next to her suddenly spoke.
"I'm late, not deaf. If you guys can't keep your mouth shut, I don't mind taking care of it for you."
When Gu Zhiyin spoke, everyone choked.
Mu Ning turned to look at him in surprise.
He didn't make a sound when he was being scolded, but when he heard her being spoken to, he couldn't hold back his temper.
Mu Ning's heart warmed slightly, and she quietly held his hand under the table.
Some people were offended by Gu Zhiyin's words and wanted to have a fit.
Mrs. Gu stopped the man with one sentence, "Okay, don't make any noise and upset me."
After saying that, she greeted Gu Zhiyin with a smile, "Ayin, come sit here and come to grandma."
The old lady's favoritism towards Gu Zhiyin should not be too obvious!
But everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
Gu Zhiyin is the most outstanding among his descendants.
"Ning Ning?" Gu Zhiyin glanced at Mu Ning. No one noticed that his eyes were asking for Mu Ning's consent.
"Go." Mu Ning whispered, "The seat next to the Queen Mother cannot be given to anyone else. Uncle Gu must sit there."
She looked admiring "my man is awesome".
Gu Zhiyin curled his lower lip imperceptibly, squeezed it in her palm, stood up and passed over.
As soon as Gu Zhiyin sat down, Gu Yunsi started acting like a monster again when he saw Mu Ning sitting there alone.
"Oh, it's so crowded! It feels like this table is already occupied!" Gu Yunsi complained.
Gu Yunsi is the daughter of Gu Zhiyin's second uncle, Gu Huaian and Shen Yu. She is about the same age as Mu Ning. When she was a child, she often took the lead in bullying Mu Ning in the old house.
"Sisi, this year your uncle got a wife and two grandsons. Your brother also brought a girlfriend back. Of course there will be more people." Shen Yu explained.
"In this case, shouldn't irrelevant people eat at the servants' table?" Gu Yunsi looked at Mu Ning and said loudly, "Why are you occupying a seat and crowding everyone?"
Everyone was stunned, saying that it was indeed quite crowded.
Gu Zhiyin glanced at Gu Yunsi lightly.
When Shen Yu saw Gu Zhiyin looking over, she whispered to Gu Yunsi: "Sisi, stop your troubles and make do with it."
However, Gu Yunsi ignored his mother's warning and stood up and said: "I can't hold my hands open when eating. Since some shameless people are staying here, then I'll go eat at the servants' table and make some room for you." ."
Gu Yunsi said and was about to take the bowls and chopsticks.
"Sisi, aren't you fooling around? Sit down!" Gu Huaian said in a deep voice.
"But it's really crowded. If you don't believe me, ask other people, aren't they crowded?"
Gu Yunsi crossed his arms and glanced at Mu Ning.
With Gu Yunsi's hint, many people looked at Mu Ning.
"Gu Yunsi, please stop making trouble. Sit down. I'll go over and sit." Mu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and stood up. When she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Zhiyin.
Gu Zhiyin was also looking at her, Mu Ning smiled reassuringly, picked up the bowls and chopsticks and went over.
Among a group of servants wearing gray uniforms, a beautiful girl sat in, looking very eye-catching.
People at the table were whispering, but the old lady and Gu Zhiyin remained silent.
Mrs. Gu's calm attitude clearly meant she didn't want to get involved in this matter.
Gu Zhiyin kept staring at Mu Ning, looking at her back as she turned to leave the table, holding the tea cup with her fingers, her expression unclear. After a moment, he looked at Gu Yunsi, his eyes dark and cold.
"Okay, the fuss is almost over. Si Yatou, please sit down quickly. We are ready to have dinner." The old lady spoke out at this time.
"Old madam, did you forget something?" the housekeeper reminded.
"Look at my memory. I've prepared a New Year's red envelope for everyone. Go and get it."
When they heard that there was a red envelope, the children all started to make a fuss.
It is the custom of the Gu family that New Year's red envelopes are distributed to children and grandchildren by the most respected elders before the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Don't grab it, everyone has a share."
No matter how old you are, everyone who comes to the table will receive a red envelope.
Mu Ning naturally didn't, because she was sitting at the servants' table.
Gu Zhiyin looked at her. The little guy lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
Is she... disappointed?
After receiving the red envelope, Gu Yunsi shouted happily, "There are more than last year, thank you grandma! I wish grandma a long life!"
"Okay, okay, when Sisi grows up, she will make grandma happy."
Mu Ning felt someone was staring at her, subconsciously raised her head and saw Gu Zhiyin's eyes.
Mu Ning smiled at him and silently told him with her lips that it didn't matter.
"Okay, the red envelopes have been handed out and we're ready for dinner."
Gu Zhiyin stood up at this moment, pulled the chair and left the seat without saying a word.
He had a cold and arrogant face, noble clothes, and a slender figure walking past people.
The chair was dragged behind him, making a harsh sound as it scraped against the ground.
The noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
Gu Zhiyin walked slowly, and the harsh noise made them cover their ears.
It seemed like he was mocking them on purpose.
What to do?
What does he want to do?
Mu Ning looked at the man walking towards her step by step.
He came to Mu Ning and glanced at the servant next to him.
The servant immediately moved aside.
He put the chair in and sat down slowly.
There was total silence.
"Gu Zhiyin, why are you here..." Mu Ning asked nervously in a low voice. Her heartbeat was fast and chaotic, and she didn't dare to look at other people's faces.
With such a distinguished status, how could he squeeze into the servants' table with her?
"Gu Zhiyin, what do you mean?!" Uncle Gu Peiyuan asked sharply.
"It's too crowded in there, it's comfortable to sit here."
Gu Zhiyin faced Mu Ning and answered calmly.
He was answering Mu Ning.
After saying that, he took out another red envelope from his arms.
Under everyone's shocked eyes, he touched Mu Ning's head and said, "It's for Ning Ning."
Mu Ning was stunned for a moment, then tugged on his sleeve, "What are you doing? You can't just give it to me secretly."
I agreed to keep a low profile and give face to the elders.
Gu Zhiyin's voice was so low that everyone present could hear it——
"Ning Ning is my girl. Whatever they have, Ning Ning must also have it. Ning Ning cannot be wronged."
Mu Ning's eyes were hot, he pursed his lips and took it, put it in his hand and looked at it.
Gu Yunsi gritted her teeth angrily. She wanted to humiliate Mu Ning and embarrass Mu Ning, but she didn't expect Gu Zhiyin to defend her so much!
Huh, at first glance, the red envelope is very thin, not half as thick as hers.
Thinking of this, she felt much better.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Mu Ning held her little red envelope, her nose slightly red.
"Be good." Gu Zhiyin rubbed her head gently.
Everyone in the Gu family remained silent.
There is embarrassment, jealousy, confusion...
I don't know what's wrong with Gu Zhiyin. He has such a high status in the Gu family and is the old lady's favorite grandson. He doesn't sit on the red seat next to the old lady, but squeezes in with a group of servants.
Is this disdain for that position, or contempt for them?
Isn't this a slap in the old lady's face? !
Mrs. Gu's expression was really ugly, "Gu Zhiyin, sit back!"
