Gu Suiwan stood beside Li Yan, her eyes filled with anticipation and longing.
In the end, Li Yan couldn't persuade Gu Suiwan otherwise and nodded slightly: "Okay, Mom agrees to go on a picnic. It's true, as you said, it's a good opportunity to strengthen family bonds, and you should also spend more time in nature."
Li Yan's voice was gentle yet firm, like a spring breeze, making people feel incredibly comfortable.
Then, Li Yan turned to Gu Tingyan and Gu Tingyu: "I also want to go on a picnic, what do you guys think?"
Gu Tingyan and Gu Tingyu exchanged a glance, though they felt somewhat unwilling.
But seeing their mother's expectant eyes, they couldn't refuse.
Gu Tingyan nodded directly: "If Mom wants to go, then of course we agree."
“Yes, if Mom wants to go, we’ll definitely go with her,” Gu Tingyu quickly echoed.
Then, the two brothers started showering each other with compliments.
"Mom, you are the most beautiful and gentle woman in the world. Your decision must be the right one." This was Gu Tingyan's flattery.
"Yes, yes, you're like the sun, illuminating our lives. Your ideas are always so wise, we'll definitely cooperate well," Gu Tingyu said with a grin.
Gu Suiwan was furious as she listened to her brothers' flattery.
"You guys are so hypocritical! You were just saying that picnics are a waste of time, but now that Mom says she wants to go, you immediately agree."
Gu Suiwan looked at the two of them with displeasure, clenched her fists tightly, and waved them twice in the air without any aggression.
Gu Tingyan and Gu Tingyu smiled awkwardly, their eyes revealing a hint of guilt.
"Don't be angry at the end of the year. If Mom wants to go, of course we'll go with her." Gu Tingyan cleared his throat, looking completely matter-of-fact.
Gu Tingyu blinked innocently: "Yes, it's New Year's Eve, we're just trying to make Mom happy."
Gu Suiwan rolled her eyes, not wanting to pay attention to the two of them.
The family of four began preparing picnic items.
Gu Suiwan and Li Yan were selecting food together.
She picked up a bag of bread, smelled it, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"This bread looks delicious, we can take it with us."
Gu Suiwan didn't even glance at her two older brothers, but turned to look at Li Yan and said.
Although reluctant, Gu Tingyu and Gu Tingyan began to help with the preparations.
They complained, but secretly they were also looking forward to the picnic.
"What a hassle, what's so great about a picnic?"
"Yeah, it's better to stay home and rest."
"..."
However, when Gu Suiwan suggested inviting Duan Yujing along, the two brothers immediately objected.
"This is a family gathering, what does it have to do with outsiders?" Gu Tingyan asked with displeasure.
“Yes, it’s almost New Year’s Eve. Don’t invite people randomly. This is a family gathering. We don’t need outsiders.” Gu Tingyu also disagreed.
“Duan Yujing is not an outsider. He is very good to us, and he is very likely to be our father.”
Gu Suiwan was really annoyed by her two older brothers, who were so hostile towards Duan Yujing all day long.
However, the two brothers did not agree.
They strongly opposed Duan Yujing's participation in the picnic.
Gu Tingyan said coldly, "No, that's it. He's not family, he can't attend our family gatherings."
Gu Tingyu said expressionlessly, "Suiwan, don't be willful. We need to maintain the purity of our family gathering."
Gu Suiwan's face was stern, her eyes revealing determination and stubbornness: "Duan Yujing is not an outsider. He is the person Mom likes, and he is also our father. A family should be together. What kind of talk is it to be torn apart like before?"
