219 Meeting Ceremony
The day before, Lu Fengzhi received a message from Wen Nuan and knew that she was coming today, the old lady was happy all day long.
When Gu Zhanheng drove the car into the Gu family compound, Wen Nuan saw Lu Fengzhi's figure at the entrance to the garden. The old man was obviously waiting for them.
As soon as the car stopped, Wen Nuan got out and ran towards the old lady.
"Grandma, why are you standing here?" Wen Nuan said caringly.
The old lady greeted her and grabbed her warm little hand: "Grandma received your message and knew that you were leaving and had nothing to do, so she came out to greet her. My good child has suffered abroad. I heard from Zhan Heng that you are injured, all the green and purple."
Wen Nuan looked at Gu Zhanheng from a distance and complained: "Why did he say everything? You are worried again!"
Lu Fengzhi said with distress: "I'm afraid that grandma will worry, you will only report good news but not bad news. Even if Zhan Heng doesn't say it, grandma will know that you have suffered abroad."
Wen Nuan smiled, "Aren't I back now? Grandma can rest assured!"
Lu Fengzhi nodded and sighed: "My grandmother is back, and grandma can finally feel at ease."
A voice of "grandson-in-law" made Wen Nuan shyly lower her head, "Grandma..."
Lu Fengzhi touched her warm pink face, "Let's go in! Grandma has prepared a lot of delicious food for you!"
Lu Fengzhi brought Wen Nuan to the living room. The old man of the Gu family knew that his grandson was going to bring his girlfriend over, so he waited here early.
"Grandpa." Wen Nuan greeted.
Gu Wen nodded, the old man was so dignified and didn't talk much.
Lu Fengzhi glanced at him, "Are you unhappy when you see your granddaughter-in-law? You are not afraid of scaring the child with an old face!"
Mr. Gu held his expression. He was originally the majesty of the head of a family, but was instantly pulled down from the altar by the old lady's words.
The old man dared not refuse to obey his wife's words, so he could only smile.
Lu Fengzhi said again: "You'd better stop laughing, laughing is more scary than crying!"
The old man sighed and could only pick up the tea cup and drink a sip of tea to cover up his embarrassment.
Wen Nuan was amused by the interaction between the two old men and couldn't help but think of her grandparents. The two old men also seemed to be like this, seemingly quarreling, but in fact they were in love for the rest of their lives.
Gu Zhanheng followed behind with a gift.
Seeing Wen Nuan being held by the old lady and chatting about family matters, Gu Zhanheng couldn't get in and sat quietly aside.
In September, the weather is dragging the tail of summer, and young people still need to rely on air conditioning to cool down. However, the elderly’s body is no longer as cold as young people. They cannot stand the cold wind of air conditioning. The living room does not turn on the air conditioning, but only the door is open, and the natural wind is blowing.
Seeing that Gu Zhanheng had been touching the tie knot, Gu Weng said, "If you feel hot, just untie the tie."
"I'm not hot." Gu Zhanheng responded.
"You're not hot, you're always touching your tie?" the old man asked back.
"Does the warm tie knot look good?" Gu Zhanheng suddenly said.
Wen Nuan looked at him incredibly surprised when she heard the sound. She originally thought that what Gu Zhanheng said before was just a lip service, but she didn't expect that he would really take action.
The old man was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. The old lady looked excited, "We are so cool with our hands! It looks so beautiful!"
Gu Zhanheng smiled faintly and looked at Wen Nuan, "I think it looks good too."
Wen Nuan looked dark and even had a little doubt. Is the slightly childish man in front of her still the Gu Zhanheng she had known before?
**
After lunch, the old lady brought Wen Nuan into the main room where the old man was resting. From the drawer, the old lady took out a red envelope and handed it to Wen Nuan.
Lu Fengzhi said: "During the Chinese New Year, my grandmother gave each grandchildren a red envelope of 10,000 yuan. I opened Zhan Heng's red envelope and only gave him a hundred yuan. I said I would leave the rest to my grandmother's wife. Here, my grandmother added another 99, so the total is 9999. There is not much money, but it is my grandmother's intention. I hope you two will last forever."
"Thank you grandma." Wen Nuan and soft responded.
With a voice of "grandma", Lu Fengzhi was overjoyed, and the old man gave Wen Nuan another box, "This is a gift for you."
Wen Nuan opened it and saw that the box was a pearl pendant necklace. Compared to ordinary round pearls, this pearl pendant has a strange shape and is a water droplet-shaped pearl.
Lu Fengzhi smiled and said, "Grandma has seen a photo of you wearing a pearl necklace. It's so beautiful. At that time, grandma thought this necklace is suitable for you!"
Although Wen Nuan didn't know how valuable this necklace was, she could tell at a glance that the necklace was very valuable.
"Grandma, this gift is too expensive." Wen Nuan politely refused.
Lu Fengzhi chuckled, "This is a very ordinary necklace. Besides, grandma just accepted your gift! This is called "Travel Reciprocity!"
Wen Nuan frowned. Did she misunderstand it? She overestimated the value of this necklace?
The old man was so enthusiastic and warm, so he could only accept it.

On the way back, Wen Nuan took out the necklace the old man gave her from her bag.
Gu Zhanheng glanced at him, "Grandma has never been willing to wear this necklace, but is she willing to give it to you?"
Wen Nuan looked at him, "Is this grandma's necklace?"
Gu Zhanheng nodded and responded: "A few years ago, my dad gave her a birthday gift."
Since it was a gift from Chairman Gu, Wen Nuan couldn't help but feel nervous, "Then this necklace must be very expensive, right?"
Gu Zhanheng responded lightly: "I heard from my mother that it cost 12 million."
Wen Nuan immediately felt that her hands sank and almost suffocated, "This is too expensive! Grandma said that this is a very ordinary necklace, which I dared to collect..."
Warm stuttered, obviously scared.
Gu Zhanheng smiled, "Grandma should be afraid that you won't accept it, so she said that, right?"
"Or... I'd better go back? Since it was a gift from your father to grandma, and it was so expensive, I shouldn't have received it." Wen Nuan was nervous.
"If you return it, I will probably be scolded to death by my grandmother. She should blame me for being too much." Gu Zhanheng said in a deep voice.
Wen Nuan carefully held the necklace box, "But...but..."
"You don't need to feel uneasy, grandma is investing." Gu Zhanheng chuckled.
"Investment?" Wen Nuan couldn't understand.
"Isn't it worth investing in a granddaughter-in-law and repaying a great-grandson? Grandma is smart! She never does losing money!"
Just now at the dinner table, Lu Fengzhi did mention the fact that she wanted to hug her great-grandson several times, which made her face warm.
Gu Zhanheng continued: "A necklace can only repay one great-grandson. If you give birth to two, you have to ask her to invest additionally!"
Wen Nuan looked at him speechlessly, "Why do I think you are smarter than grandma?"
"We can work hard to get grandma bankrupt."
