After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Lu Ning couldn't help but smile crookedly.

Why are you all making that face? Aren't you happy to have me here for dinner?

Wang Ma reacted the fastest.

He greeted him with a smile, saying, "Young Master Lu, please have a seat."

Lu Ning smiled and said to Wang Ma, "Wang Ma is still the most sincere to me, so I won't be polite then."

As he spoke, he pushed Gu Tianyou to the main seat, while he himself sat down casually beside him.

Shen Yao sat on the other side of Gu Tianyou, while Huangfu Hao sat down next to her.

Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang started setting out the dishes, and the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became awkward.

Lu Ning truly lived up to his reputation for creating a lively atmosphere; with just a few words, he enlivened the atmosphere at the dinner table.

"Why aren't you eating? If you're not eating, then I'm going to eat by myself."

After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating by himself.

Everyone was amused by her easygoing and carefree personality.

The awkward atmosphere at the dinner table eased considerably.

Only Gu Tianyou kept a dark expression on his face and never smiled.

Lu Ning nudged his friend with his elbow.

"Don't look so down, like you've lost a battle. Cheer up! Don't let them look down on you."

Encouraged by Lu Ning, Gu Tianyou, sitting in his wheelchair, managed to force a smile onto his handsome face.

Unfortunately, this smile isn't very appealing.

Gu Tianyou's stern gaze fell on Huangfuhao.

"As the host, I do not welcome you to dine at my home."

Huangfu Hao stopped mid-air as he reached for the duck soup with his chopsticks.

He frowned and gave Gu Tianyou an awkward smile.

"It's just a meal, Mr. Gu won't even treat me?"

Gu Tianyou said almost without hesitation, "I don't want to. If I were you, I should put down my chopsticks and get out of here right now."

Seeing Gu Tianyou's disrespect towards Huangfu Hao, Shen Yao also put down her chopsticks.

She turned to look at the man with the cold expression.

“Gu Tianyou, guests are guests, and Huangfu Hao is also your friend. If you drive your friend away, people will laugh at you.”

"What a joke! Do you think I care about that? Shen Yao, I am still the master of this house. I am ordering you to kick this so-called friend of yours out of here."

Perhaps it was because of excitement.

The veins on Gu Tianyou's face were bulging.

He glared coldly at Shen Yao, forcing him to cooperate and kick Huangfu Hao out.

Huangfu Hao was restless and uneasy.

Fortunately, his years of experience in handling cases allowed him to appear relatively calm on the surface.

But his tightly gripping chopsticks and the bulging veins on his arm betrayed him.

Shen Yao had long expected that Gu Tianyou wouldn't give Huangfu Hao a friendly look.

as predicted.

During the meal, he deliberately made things difficult for Huangfu Hao.

This was also within Shen Yao's expectations.

She remained remarkably calm in the face of Gu Tianyou's difficult behavior.

She slightly curved her lips and looked directly at Gu Tianyou's question.

“We’re not divorced yet, and I’m still the lady of this house. Don’t I have the right to invite my friends over? What gives you the right to kick my friends out?”

Gu Tianyou sneered, "Your friend? Hmph, or your lover?"

Upon hearing this, an awkward silence immediately fell over the dinner table.

Only Lu Ning was eating by himself.

When he looked up and saw that everyone had a dark expression, he raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, we're all childhood friends, let's toast to our reunion today!"

Huangfuhao is the most embarrassed person right now.

To ease the tension, he was the first to raise his wine glass.

Shen Yao followed suit, giving him an approving look.

All eyes were on Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou's face was stern as he gripped the heel of the wine glass with two fingers of his right hand.

But he hesitated to raise his glass.

Shen Yao calmly observed the man, waiting for his reaction.

Lu Ning coughed softly beside him, reminding Gu Tianyou.

"Ah You, be more magnanimous. It's just a toast."

Gu Tianyou, who had been silent all along, gave a soft "hmm" and slowly raised his head.

His cold gaze swept over everyone before finally settling on Huangfu Hao.

With her well-defined fingers, she picked up the wine glass and held it up to Huangfu Hao.

"cheers."

The voice remained indifferent.

However, in everyone's eyes, Gu Tianyou's ability to achieve such a level was beyond their expectations.

Huangfuhao had prepared himself for Gu Tianyou to make things difficult for him in various ways.

But when he saw Gu Tianyou raise his glass and toast him, he was somewhat flattered.

Since their falling out several years ago, the two have barely seen each other.

Even though they bumped into each other unexpectedly today, Huangfu Hao could still sense Huangfu Hao's hostility and disgust towards him.

Gu Tianyou's joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness were always so unrestrainedly displayed on his face.

Huangfu Hao grew up with him and knows this very well.

"Tianyou, I hope we can both let go of the past, get to know each other again, and start anew."

Although the man before him remained unsmiling and had a stern face, Huangfu Hao still raised his wine glass and clinked glasses with him.

The clinking of wine glasses rang out.

Almost everyone present thought the voice was incredibly beautiful.

This means that the Huangfu family and the Gu family will most likely reconcile.

Lu Ning smiled with satisfaction and took a sip of wine.

He began to look forward to the days when the three of them would go crazy together again.

Shen Yao, who had been on tenterhooks, did not relax at all.

Because she vaguely sensed that beneath Gu Tianyou's seemingly calm surface lay a hidden competitive energy.

This kind of hidden energy is generally imperceptible to ordinary people.

Only someone who had long-term contact with Gu Tianyou could sense it.

"I've finished my drink, Tianyou, please feel free to drink as you like."

After finishing his drink, Huangfuhao turned his glass upside down and looked at Gu Tianyou with a smile.

Gu Tianyou smiled too.

But there was no smile in his eyes.

His cool gaze first fixed on the wine glass in Huangfu Hao's hand, and finally landed on Huangfu Hao's still smiling face.

After many years, the once dashing playboy has now become an elite in the legal profession.

Dressed in a suit and tie, mature and composed, his every move was completely different from before.

Gu Tianyou scrutinized Huangfu Hao, his gaze sharp as a knife, scanning him over and over.

Huangfuhao felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Just as he was about to say something to break the silence, Gu Tianyou spoke up.

His long, slender fingers held up the wine glass.

A faint smile graced his pale but still handsome face.

"Huangfu Hao, I salute you."

Gu Tianyou raised the wine glass in his hand towards Huangfu Hao.

Huangfu Hao was about to pour himself a glass of wine and then toast Gu Tianyou.

But suddenly a cold voice rang out.

I admire your shamelessness and your lack of decency!

Before he could finish speaking, the icy drink was splashed directly onto his face.
