Chapter 1264 A Simple but Not Simple Visit

Talking about business is naturally inseparable from Wu Tao.

Besides, he indirectly facilitated the meeting with the parents tonight.

As a powerful figure and heavyweight representative of Gu Fei's side, Wu Tao's attendance was particularly important.

This was not only believed by Gu Xueli, but also by Andinguo.

In fact, in front of the Xiao family, he, a provincial official, was just assisting. The one who really plays the main mediating role can only be Wu Tao, who has long been connected with the Xiao family.

When Wu Tao arrived, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Gu family in such a position as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Gu Xueli was sitting upright in a brand-new Chinese tunic suit, and Yin Wenfang, who was wearing a classic cheongsam, looked particularly like the Republic of China.

As for Gu Jin, from top to bottom, he is noble but not high-profile, and he is full of nobility at first glance.

On the other hand, An Dingguo was wearing an inconspicuous jacket. If it weren't for the official airs all over him, it would be easy for others to miss him.

He suppressed a smile and said hello to everyone, and then when An Rong pulled him to sit next to him, he received a firm twist on his lower back.

With such a telepathy, I can't hide anything, and I don't know whether it's good or bad.

The clock on the wall passed by minute by second, and the night outside the window gradually became quiet, mixed with the occasional crackling and smashing sounds of cannons.

Everyone in the room was particularly enthusiastic. Under Gu Jin's care, hot tea, fruits and snacks were all served.

For those who didn’t know, I thought it was celebrating New Year’s Eve in advance.

This battle made Xiao Zixia nervous, and she felt guilty and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

This was originally just a false modesty on her part, just talk. In fact, it is very useful in my heart.

This aspect cannot be hidden from the boss Wu Tao.

Little did he know that Gu Fei would really take it seriously and echoed, "That's right, as I say, I can just follow Zixia there tomorrow. Why do you have such a big battle?"

After all, Gu Fei was used to hanging around outside, and he was already resistant to the rules of meeting his parents in serious occasions, so much so that he didn't take it seriously at all.

After hearing this, Yin Wenfang gave Xiao Zixia a smile and said, "Xiao Zixia, he just talks nonsense, don't take it to heart."

How could Xiao Zixia not know what kind of person Gu Fei was.

But now that things have come to this point, who is she marrying? After all, at her level, it is extremely difficult to find a husband who is perfect in all aspects.

So I can tolerate Gu Fei who is in his seventies or eighties.

What's more, once the two of them are combined, Xiao Zixia is confident that she can take down Gu Fei.

This is actually a plus.

But marriage is never a matter between two people, but a matter between two families.

Especially the families behind these two people. A high-ranking intellectual, a high-ranking cadre.

Normally, people with the Gu family's background would be able to get on the stage wherever they go, so there is no need for the old couple and An Dingguo to worry.

Unfortunately, after so many years of wandering, Gu Fei is finally turning around.

Yin Wenfang felt both sighing and grateful, so much so that she was already wary of her youngest son's marriage. Unexpectedly, the other party's family background was so prominent, which immediately made the old couple even more frightened.

Wu Tao understood these situations in his heart. But after arriving at the scene, she found that An Rong was just looking at her uncle's excitement, so she just followed along and watched the fun together, feeling silly and happy.

It wasn't until the topic couldn't be pushed forward and everyone was at a loss what to do, that An Dingguo put down the tea cup, pulled him out and said, "Xiao Tao, what do you think?"

However, before Wu Tao could answer, An Rong smiled, "Dad, why are you asking my uncle about his marriage? He has never been married..."

Before he finished speaking, An Dingguo stared at him and swallowed his words.

An Rong stuck out her sweet tongue and felt the touch on her shoulder. She looked at Wu Tao narrowly from the side, with an attitude of "Let's see what you can say." She didn't take Gu Fei's marriage to heart at all.

In fact, this is no wonder, after all, the age gap between the two is not big, and they have been used to playing around since childhood.

Even though Gu Fei is now quite old, in the eyes of An Rong, who is not married, he still cannot establish the image of an elder.

But Wu Tao can't think like this.

Moreover, he saw the anxiety of the elders in front of him and could not tolerate him not paying attention to it.

"Actually, I think it would be enough for grandpa and grandma to go there in person and express their concern. For both families, sincerity has arrived and the simpler the situation, the better."

These words were deeply recognized by Gu Xueli.

In the eyes of a scholar like him, Yixin dislikes the red tape in communication.

It's just that Yin Wenfang doesn't think so. It's true that she is a university professor, but she is also a mother who worries about Yao'er.

"There is nothing wrong with simplifying the complex," Yin Wenfang said hesitantly, "But after all, Zixia's family is..."

Having said this, Xiao Zixia immediately said, "It doesn't matter if it's simple. My father was a soldier and he likes to be straightforward."

Now that this aspect was settled, Yin Wenfang immediately raised another question, "I'm worried that if both of them go, Gu Fei will make a fool of himself."

This is so cryptic.

Except for An Rong who thought it was no big deal, Gu Fei who didn't take it seriously, and Xiao Zixia who didn't hear what was going on, everyone else had faces that they believed deeply and must be taken seriously.

In particular, An Dingguo turned his attention to Wu Tao again: "Why don't you, Xiaotao, take a look and come with us?"

An Rong couldn't sit still anymore, "Dad, Wu Tao is a junior, it's not his turn to come forward in this matter..."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by An Dingguo: "Don't talk, let's see what Xiao Tao wants."

Wu Tao patted An Rong, who was unhappy, and said, "Marriage is a major matter, I believe Brother Fei will not treat it as a trivial matter, and he will definitely behave well."

"So regarding this matter, it is definitely not appropriate for me to come to Xiao's house." Wu Tao then explained: "It will complicate the nature of this matter."

These words did not convince An Dingguo, but he did not refute it on the spot.

However, Wu Tao changed the topic next, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and they felt that this method couldn't be better.

"...But I can go along, chat with Brother Xiao, and play drums for you from the outside."

"That's very good, very good." Gu Xueli expressed his position immediately, and An Dingguo also nodded. He could hear that Wu Tao said he was just playing a drum, but in fact he was just escorting them.

After all, this guy's influence is not just as simple as having strong capital.

As long as he follows, the matter will be a done deal.

Xiao Zixia saw the opportunity quickly and said with a happy face: "I would like to thank the boss for taking care of me in advance! This year my father is going south to Xihang to celebrate the New Year, so you won't be delayed for too long."

The biggest problem has been settled.

Everyone felt relieved, and then Gu Jin took Yin Wenfang's hand and started to make arrangements, "Mom, this is the Chinese New Year when you come to meet your in-laws. Have you thought of anything to bring?"

Yin Wenfang slapped her head, very cute, "Oh, look, I'm so old and confused, how could I forget such an important thing..."
