A moment ago, old master Bai was filled with joy when he received the gift from his granddaughter. He had to suppress the corners of his mouth to prevent it from curling up.
Not to mention gifting a lingzhi mushroom, even if he were to gift a potato, Bai Qifeng would be so happy that he wouldn’t be able to sleep for days!
In the next moment, he heard his daughter Bai Mengchen’s sour tone.
Bai Qifeng turned his head and saw Bai Mengchen and Zhang Weiyang.
He frowned. “Why are you here?”
Bai Changle had asked this question earlier, but Bai Mengchen didn’t feel anything. But now that she heard her father say this, she felt wronged and hurt.
Bai Mengchen carefully said in a fawning tone, “Dad, look at what you said. It’s your birthday today, so why aren’t we here?”
“But didn’t I tell you last time that you don’t have to come today?”Old Master Bai frowned, then turned his head and looked at Gu Yan’s expression worriedly.
He didn’t let Bai Mengchen and Zhang Weiyang come back then because he was worried that Xiaoyan would think too much of it.
Today was Xiaoyan’s first time returning to the Bai family, so the meaning was different.
Moreover, Bai Qifeng was very disappointed in his daughter, Bai Mengchen.
When Bai Mengchen heard the old man say it so bluntly, her face immediately changed color. She was surrounded by the juniors and her younger brother, not to mention that the person who said it was her father.
Bai Mengchen did not care about what others said or did.
But what her father said..
Her eyes began to slowly turn red.
When Zhang Weiyang saw this, she immediately walked over. She was dressed very formally today, but she did not put on any makeup. Her entire person appeared frail and delicate.
She said softly, “Grandpa, we were wrong about what happened before. Apart from celebrating your birthday today, we also have to apologize to Little Sister Yan.”
After saying this, Zhang Weiyang turned her head and looked at Gu Yan humbly. “Little Yan, what happened in the past was all my fault. Can you forgive me?”
After saying this, she bowed to Gu Yan.
90 degrees.
Gu Yan looked at Zhang Weiyang quietly.
Zhang Weiyang was indeed very smart. After the appearance of the old man, she started to show her weakness to gain sympathy and even apologized to Gu Yan first.
If Gu Yan accepted Zhang Weiyang’s apology, then no matter what, Old Man Bai would not chase them away today.
After Zhang Weiyang bowed, he looked at Bai Mengchen.
The two of them had agreed before coming here that they would apologize to Gu Yan Face to face.
Of course, Bai Mengchen was not happy, but Zhang Weiyang said that everything was for Old Master Bai. He would just treat it as if he had been wronged.
Only then did Bai Mengchen agree.
Therefore, after seeing Zhang Weiyang apologize, Bai Mengchen said unwillingly, “Xiao Yan, I was wrong about what happened before. If I apologize to you, please forgive me.”
Bai Jianjun and Xie Luan, who had just come out of the kitchen, also saw this scene.
They actually didn’t quite believe that Bai Mengchen and Zhang Weiyang, who had been at each other’s throats previously, would actually apologize just like that.
However, this stalemate wasn’t something that old master Bai could say, even if he was the birthday star today.
After all, everyone knew that the main character of today’s family banquet was Gu Yan.
Everyone’s gaze fell on Gu Yan.
There was anticipation, scheming, concern, and confusion.
Gu Yan stood there quietly. She did not look at anyone else, but only at Zhang Weiyang.
Her gaze was focused, and there was a hint of hatred that could never be released.
In her previous life, Lu Ye’s tragic death and Gu Yan’s final days in prison were like poison, eroding Gu Yan’s dreams night after night.
