As she spoke, she picked Xiaoyu up in her arms.
As the little fellow was toot, Lin Yiqian struggled to get up. Gu nianjia grabbed her arm to help her up as she carried the little fellow away.
“Let’s go together, Auntie.” Xiaoyu waved at Gu nianjia as he was afraid of losing her.
Gu nianjia was deeply moved by the little boy’s actions. She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.”Yes.”
Lin Yiqian reached out her hand to grab the little fellow’s chubby hand. Song Changwen was right beside her. At that moment, Lin Yiqian felt extremely blessed.
She had never felt this kind of happiness before. It was a kind of happiness that no one could give her.
Since the Chen family had already arrived, they did not mind the late arrival of song Changwen and her mother.
The old and young stood up to welcome him politely.
Today was also the day of the engagement. In addition to Chen cuijuan and Mrs. Chen, a few elders had come to the Chen family. The design of the large private room was still very Chinese. There were three big round tables. They were going to hold a Chinese banquet, not an open western party style.
A table could seat about 15 to 16 people. The Chen family’s elders sat together, and there were a few seats left for the song family.
The old man who sat in the middle of the Chen family’s elders was Chen Luli’s grandfather.
The 80-year-old veteran stood there in a Chinese tunic suit, his body still looking strong.
He was considered an elder here, and even matriarch song had to call him uncle.

After song Changwen and matriarch song greeted elder Chen, the rest of the Chen family members also greeted matriarch song one by one.
Some people were just here to participate. Those who didn’t have much to say would return to their seats after greeting each other. Those who could talk were the elders, and they stayed to be polite about their family’s situation.
Grandmother song was a prideful person. She had always looked down on the other members of the song family. On top of that, song Changlin’s status had made the song family ridicule her a lot over the years.
Therefore, Lin Yiqian decided not to invite anyone else to attend song Changlin’s engagement. As such, she was the only elder in the song family. After that, there were only song Changwen and song Changjun.
After a few empty seats were taken, grandma song pulled song Feifei over to sit beside her.
Meanwhile, song Changwen sat on the other side of the old lady with Xiaoyu in her arms.
Since the elders were the ones who were seated, Gu nianjia naturally did not want to sit with them. She wanted to look for song Changlin as she had yet to see him.
“Aunt.” Lin Xiaoyu suddenly called out to her.
“What’s the matter?” Gu nianjia turned around and smiled at the little boy.
“Auntie, sit with us,” Xiaoyu said.
Before Gu nianjia could reply, Gu nianshen slid down from song Changwen’s lap and ran toward Gu nianjia. He then grabbed Gu nianjia’s hand and pulled her toward him.
Naturally, Gu nianjia did not dare to sit at the table reserved for the elders.”Uh …” She instinctively turned to loo
k at song Changwen.
Coincidentally, song Changwen was also looking at her.
Seeing how flustered Gu nianjia was, song Changwen’s expression softened.””If there’s an empty seat, you can take a seat.”
Gu nianjia raised her brows in surprise as she thought that she had heard him wrong.
Xiaoyu happily dragged her along.
Just like that, Lin Xiaoyu pushed Lin Yiqian to sit down next to song Changwen.
All the elders in the Chen family turned to look at her. Just as Grandpa Chen was about to ask her something, song Feifei’s voice suddenly rang out.”Granduncle.”
