Chapter 387 Dinner Party
In such a relaxed and happy atmosphere, they slowly packed up their tents and camping supplies and prepared to drive to the hotel.
After dozens of minutes of driving, the group finally arrived at the door of the Chuanfu Hotel.
Chuanfu Hotel is famous for its luxurious decoration and first-class service. Its elegant and magnificent appearance leaves a deep impression on people.
As soon as Chen heard about the car, she was immediately attracted by the grandeur of the hotel. Her eyes sparkled and she said, "Wow, this place is really nice! Qi Yang, you are so generous this time!"
Gu Qiyang smiled and waved his hand, with a bold look: "Enjoy yourself today! Everyone has worked hard."
The hotel lobby is luxuriously decorated, with tall marble pillars, exquisite chandeliers, and gorgeous carpets, reflecting elegance and taste everywhere.
Gu Qiyang took the lead to the front desk and told the staff about the lunch reservation.
The staff greeted them warmly and guided them towards the restaurant.
On the way to the restaurant, everyone was excitedly chatting about the next meal, and the atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful.
At this time, a familiar figure came towards them.
Gu Yanran was wearing an exquisite dress, with a light gait and a smile on her face.
"Cousin, where are you going?" Gu Yanran's voice was gentle, but there was a glint of wit in her eyes.
Gu Qiyang was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Yanran, we just came back from the beach and are going to have lunch now. Why are you here?"
Gu Yanran smiled softly, her eyes swept over everyone, and her eyes fell on Pei Jingchuan and Jiang Yuzhu. An elusive emotion flashed in her eyes.
She smiled softly, but there seemed to be something else behind her smile.
Then, she turned to Gu Qiyang, with a hint of playfulness in her tone: "Cousin, I haven't eaten yet, how about I eat with you?"
Gu Qiyang frowned slightly, he could feel that Gu Yanran's appearance might bring some uncertainty to this dinner party.
But he also knew it might be rude to refuse her.
"Of course, Yanran. But remember, today we are mainly here to relax and enjoy ourselves. I hope you can do the same."
Gu Qiyang's tone contained a slight warning, reminding her to be careful.
Gu Yanran smiled slightly, as if she didn't care about Gu Qiyang's words at all: "Don't worry, cousin, I know what to do."
Chen Ting and Jiang Yuzhu were chatting privately at the side. Chen Ting's voice was full of complaints: "It seems that Jingchuan's charm is really great. This peach blossom is really lingering."
Jiang Yuzhu listened and laughed softly. Her smile revealed calmness: "It doesn't matter. Listen, Pei Jingchuan's heart is with me. I'm not worried."
In the restaurant of Chuanfu Hotel, the environment is elegant and the lighting is soft, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
The dining table was set with fine china and silverware, and soft background music played all around.
A group of people sat around a round table, and the food on the menu was mouth-watering. Gu Qiyang ordered a few signature dishes and specifically asked everyone about their preferences.
At this time, Gu Yanran's behavior gradually began to attract attention.
She made provocative remarks from time to time, especially towards Jiang Yuzhu.
There always seemed to be a provocation hidden in her words, as if she was constantly testing Jiang Yuzhu's bottom line.
Although Jiang Yuzhu felt Gu Yanran's provocation, he always remained calm and elegant.
Her answers were always reserved and appropriate, without directly confronting Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran kept trying to attract Pei Jingchuan's attention, but found that Pei Jingchuan's eyes were always firmly fixed on Jiang Yuzhu, which made her feel an indescribable sense of frustration.
Her eyes flashed with complicated emotions, including admiration for Pei Jingchuan and jealousy of Jiang Yuzhu.
However, the situation suddenly escalated.
When Gu Yanran reached out to pick up the vegetables, she deliberately spilled a plate of vegetables on Jiang Yuzhu.
This sudden move shocked everyone at the table.
Gu Yanran immediately pretended to be panicked and apologized repeatedly: "Oh, Yu Zhu, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it!"
Pei Jingchuan's brows were furrowed, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was about to speak.
Jiang Yuzhu's voice was calm, and every word revealed unquestionable determination: "Yanran, I have reminded you many times. I can understand that you liked Pei Jingchuan before, but the situation is different now. Pei Jingchuan is already my husband, I hope you understand this and stop your inappropriate behavior."
Her eyes looked directly at Gu Yanran, with a light that could not be challenged.
Jiang Yuzhu's words did not contain any anger, but were full of determination, as if he was drawing a line and warning.
Others at the table were also surprised by this sudden direct conversation, but they all chose to remain silent and observe the development of the situation.
In the tense atmosphere, Jiang Yuzhu continued her words, her voice still calm: "I didn't say it directly before because I was considering the face of Jingchuan and Qiyang. But now, your behavior has exceeded my bottom line."
Gu Yanran was stunned, and her expression became complicated in an instant.
Her eyes flashed with uncertainty and surprise, as if she had not expected Jiang Yuzhu to express his position so frankly.
Chen Ting approached Jiang Yuzhu and praised her in a low voice: "Yuzhu, you are so domineering!"
There was genuine appreciation and a hint of relaxed amusement in her voice.
Although the scene was a bit tense, Chen Ting was obviously impressed by Jiang Yuzhu's decisiveness.
Gu Yanran's face instantly turned pale under Jiang Yuzhu's words, and her eyes flashed with unbelievable emotions.
The confidence and provocation he had always had seemed to be completely shattered at this moment.
Tears began to well up in her eyes silently, and her lips trembled as if she wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.
As she turned around, tears finally overflowed from her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
Gu Yanran suddenly stood up and ran away from the dining table in a hurry. Her figure looked helpless and panicked.
Her crying sound was particularly abrupt in the silence of the restaurant, attracting the attention of people around her.
The atmosphere at the table became heavy at this moment. Everyone's eyes met, but no one caught up to comfort Gu Yanran.
Gu Qiyang's face looked a little embarrassed. His eyes followed Gu Yanran's hurried departure, and then turned to Jiang Yuzhu.
His expression was apologetic, as if he was reflecting on his decision.
He apologized softly to Jiang Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let Yanran come in together. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
