Chapter 165: All Men Gather (5)_1
Shen Jia and Feng Shaomei’s faces turned a ghastly white as they watched Shangguan You encircled by Han Yachu, Lan Xuan, and Gui Jun’s entourage. Shangguan You had stolen all the limelight, turning their arrival into a mere backdrop.
Shen Cheng and Wanqian were chatting with Lan Guohua, Han Xiao, and Deputy Director Feng, letting the younger generation entertain themselves. Meanwhile, Old Qi and Qi Zhuochen were observing the exchanges among these people, rolling their eyes.
At the table of nineteen, Shangguan You became the center of attention. Everyone, even the usually reticent Han Yachu, occasionally struck up a conversation with her.
"Girl, I heard your dad’s back. Why aren’t you spending time with him?" Gui Jun couldn’t help but whisper the gossip to Shangguan You.
"There will be plenty of opportunities later, no need to rush, Brother Jun."
"Yes, after the New Year, Youyou and I will be sent to the military by our grandfather for two weeks. Gui Jun, you and your brother should join us too. That way, we can look after each other," Shangguan Qing said. The low murmurs around the table ceased, all eyes turning toward him and Shangguan You.
"Sure, wherever Young Master Qing goes, I naturally must follow. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be laughed at?"
"Wherever Youyou goes, I’ll follow," Gui Jun and his brother declared simultaneously.
"Heh, good. We’ll go together then, and you guys will have to protect me," Shangguan You chuckled, implying the military trip wouldn’t be too troublesome.
