Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: Banquet

Xinyan heard the voice and deliberately looked back.

She happened to meet Gu Yingying’s gaze.

Gu Yingying, for some reason, raised her head haughtily at Xinyan.

Then she deliberately walked a few steps faster to catch up with Xinyan and the others: "Han Xinyan, Jiang Peiqin, there will be a party at my place next weekend, do you want to come and have fun?"

Xinyan understood the implication when she heard this.

She received a call from her father yesterday, saying that her grandparents had been back in the Capital for a while, and they thought it was time to make an appearance.

The Gu Family’s old house had already been renovated, so they decided to host a banquet there.

Her father said that this event was entrusted to Gu Hongrui; having lived abroad for many years, it seemed some foreign elements were incorporated.

Otherwise, why would Gu Yingying mention hosting a party?

Xinyan smiled slightly: "Sorry, I have something at home next weekend, so I can’t make it. You all have fun."

The girl standing next to Gu Yingying said sarcastically, "What bad luck, Yingying kindly invites you to broaden your horizons, and you come up with such a lousy excuse."

Xinyan glanced at her: "Gu Yingying didn’t say anything, so what are you whining about here? Those who don’t know might think it’s your family’s party."

After speaking, she pulled Jiang Peiqin and turned to walk towards the teaching building.

She didn’t want to waste her breath on such thoughtless people.

A few days ago, she completed all the third and fourth year exams at the medical school, astonishing many professors, each eager to mentor her.

In the end, they decided by drawing lots. Xinyan would then have to study with each of them in turn, resolving the competition.

However, this arrangement wasn’t Xinyan’s decision; she was just notified, with no right to object.

After the afternoon classes ended, Xinyan took Jiang Peiqin to the nearest department store.

Heading straight to the camera section: "Peiqin, I said before, when you get married, I’ll give you a camera. Since it’s a gift for you, you should pick one you like."

Jiang Peiqin thought Xinyan was joking, but she was serious.

She liked mechanical design and once made a design sketch. At that time, she jokingly said, "It would be great to have a camera to take clearer photos for reference if I could visit some big factories again."

Xinyan casually promised, not expecting that she would actually make good on it.

But when she saw the prices of those cameras, she truly felt embarrassed: "Yanyan, forget it, I was just speaking offhand."

Xinyan directly asked the sales assistant to take out several cameras displayed inside; "Come on, considering our relationship, how can I go back on my word?"

Then she whispered in Jiang Peiqin’s ear, "Don’t hold back, pick the one you like. If you miss this chance, it won’t come again."

Jiang Peiqin was touched. It’s not that she couldn’t afford a camera; the family already had one. There was no need to buy another, but it wasn’t hers. She had to ask her aunt every time she wanted to use it.

Moreover, sometimes when she needed it, someone else at home needed it too, making it inconvenient to compete for it.

Jiang Peiqin accepted Xinyan’s gesture and picked the one she liked, planning to consider what gift to give when Xinyan gets married in return.

Time quickly flew to the weekend.

Xinyan already knew from Han Jingchen that the Zeng Family was invited, so she didn’t specially invite Jiang Peiqin, knowing she’d join with her family.

After all, inviting her separately might affect the relationship with her dorm mates.

However, she had already told her dorm mates that she’d invite them over next weekend to dine at her place and planned to take them to the Gu Family’s old house.

That way, they’d feel more at ease when they go.

Gu Wanqing and her husband, along with their son, accompanied the old couple of the Gu family back to the Gu Family’s old house a few days ago.

Since Xinyan had to intern at the hospital on Saturday, she returned to the Gu Mansion from the small courtyard that morning.

By the time she arrived at the Gu Family’s old house, many guests had already arrived.

Mr. Gu, Gu Yiwen, saw his granddaughter return and smiled, waving her over: "Yanyan, come here."
