After dinner, the suggestion of going out for more entertainment was met with enthusiastic agreement from nearly all the young people. Gu Shaojun had already given Gu Shaozhen and Zheng Shaolian a heads-up at the table, putting them in charge of finding a fun spot. With a single phone call, Gu Shaozhen had booked out an entire clubhouse. If they wanted things to be even more lively, everyone was welcome to invite their own friends—the more, the merrier. Everything—food, drinks, and fun—was on the house, and they could even party all night.
Gu Shaoling didn't come tonight. Tian Xueqin had long been considered an unwelcome guest by Grandma Tang, so there was no chance of her showing up. The second branch of the Gu family was represented by Wu Xiangyun, but her constitution was delicate and she needed her rest. Granny Gu didn't let her go out, so Wu Xiangyun stayed behind to help Jiang Yuyan look after Gu Shaoying.
