Chapter 36 - Arriving Late (2/2)

Before her aunt could say anymore, the daughter laughed first. Pointing at Yi Ran’s cell phone, she said, “Oh, how familiar is this ‘male god’?”

Xiang Dongsheng took his little aunt’s cell phone and looked at it with a smile. “No, this is Gu Tingchuan. The well-known director.”

Yi Ran nodded amicably, “Yes, Gu Tingchuan is my husband.”

A sudden silence fell over the dining table.

Yi Jinting’s disbelief was difficult to hide. Her tine was raised a few degrees as she said, “You must be joking, right? Don’t joke around. Isn’t Gu Tingchuan the director of “Cloud Headdress” and “Dark River”?

She turned back to her husband again for confirmation and, after getting a positive answer, incredulously said, “The one whose movie went to watch together at the cinema?”

“That’s right, it’s him.”

Yi Ran and Gu Tingchuan had always kept their marriage extremely low-key. Even the extended family from the Gu’s side did not know, let alone her cousin.

“You married the owner of Jiaye Films?”

She didn’t know how many times her cousin was going to ask, but she nodded.

Xiang Dongsheng was also quite surprised. As a straight man, although he thought that his wife’s sister was also very beautiful and her character was straightforward, but for her to be favored by a man like him was already very good, let alone….the rich master who was better than him.

“How did you know each other? It’s just so amazing.”

Yi Ran thought about it and said, “Yes, speaking of it, if it wasn’t for my brother-in-law who introduced this job to me, I wouldn’t have known my husband. His nephew is one of my students.”

“Oh, such a coincidence…Shi Xiang, the principal of the school, I seemed to hear that there was an investigation and now he is being suspended?”

She looked at her brother-in-law and nodded, then looked back down while picking up vegetables. “Yes, he often accepts large gifts and his behavior is also not right…”

Yi Jinting sat silently for a long time, wondering how her cousin managed to marry such a big man. She lowered her voice and whispered in Yi Ran’s ears, “Why did you sign the prenuptial agreement?”

Yi Ran just took a bite from the cold dishes and bit her chopsticks before answering, “I didn’t sign … Actually, I still think I should sign it. But, I mentioned it several times to Director Gu and since he was particularly disgusted with the agreement, I didn’t want to push it.”

Yi Jinting was so surprised that she couldn’t speak any more. Another relatives at the dinner table wanted to stir up the atmosphere and held up a glass of wine. He laughingly said, “I didn’t expect that our two little girls would marry one better than the other. Come and celebrate, everyone, have a drink! ”

Whatever the case, the family dinner finally began.

Yi Jinting felt merosed and didn’t want to say anything for a while.

Half-way through the dinner, Yi Ran’s mobile phone suddenly rang. When she answered, it was from Director Gu asking if the dinner was already over.

Yi Jinting watched as her cousin lowered her phone. She hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, “Your husband should be really busy, right? Then he doesn’t spend much time at home?”

Yi Ran just answered truthfully, “He was very busy a while ago and was just starting to have more time recently.”

Xiang Dongsheng also had his own calculations in his heart. Although he was still in shock, but having a relative like Gu Tingchuan was like building a ladder and using that connection to make the family business become more popular.”

The sky was already dark, and the streets near the hotel was already illuminated by the street lamps. Yi Ran was almost full. She looked at the night scene outside the wonder and wondered who was knocking at the door to their banquet room.

The closest relative got up to answer the door. The waiter leaned in halfway and asked the man behind him, “This is the banquet room for Mr. Xiang. Is this right?”

Then, he let the person in through the door. Everyone looked up at the same time.

When Gu Tingchuan came in, his face reflected the color of the lights in the room. He brought in the cold of the winter night, and his clear eyes were a little dark.

He wore the same clothes from the meeting without any intentional modification, but his temperament clearly carried the proud air of those who were born superior.

Xiang Dongsheng, who was a rich second generation, had no problems. But, when placed next to GuTingchuan, the gap between them was really obvious.

“Sorry, I’m late.” He didn’t bother to talk to Yi Ran first, but instead looked at the elders on the side. He nodded politely. “Dad, mom, I’ll send you back in the evening.”

After speaking, he turned to look at Yi Ran with a smile. She initially wanted to say something but she was too fascinated by the beautiful man in front of her.
