Chapter 44: The Ritual

Qi He and Xiyue's relationship has stabilized, he has decided to slowly forget Lu Shuyue, fall in love with Xiyue, and be a good father and husband with responsibilities and responsibilities, but sometimes, he will fall into silence and guilt, he doesn't know how Shu Yue is, she may go to find the person named Gu Yan, or she may simply go around the world, he knows that she must be safe, but he still thinks about whether she is happy or sad at the moment, whether she is eating or sleeping, and when thinking about this, it is Xiyue who is beside him, she is chattering to him, he echoes, looking at her, he thinks about his life, destined to be sorry for one of these two people.

If Xiyue is not pregnant, he will definitely wait for his Yueyue to come back, even if it is ten or twenty years, he is willing, but now, he has conceived a new life due to an accident, he can't be a negative person, he can't be a person without responsibility, this is too unfair to Xiyue, so this time, he chooses Xiyue.

Tatton Manor, USA.

The handover ceremony of the Gu family's parents is today, as long as the ceremony is successfully completed, Lu Shuyue can return to City B, her heart has involuntarily flown into the distance, she is eager to see Qi He, explain to him and apologize to him, and then live happily forever, she will continue to do the design industry she loves, during this time here, she has a lot of very good inspiration, she thinks that everything is slowly getting better.

"Madam, this is sent by the boss's orders."

"Okay, let's put it down"

She opened the gift box and picked it up, it was a silver backless evening dress and a set of jewelry, which was just right to show off when she put on her collarbone, and the exposed place was just right, not glamorous, and the jewelry was a diamond necklace and diamond earrings, which complemented the evening dress. After she changed it, she sighed in the mirror and said, "I have to take good care of my figure, otherwise it will be difficult for ordinary people to control."

Lu Shuyue was just about to go downstairs, when Gu Yan came to meet her. When he looked up and saw Lu Shuyue, he was distracted all of a sudden, Lu Shuyue was standing opposite her, her hair was coiled on her head, a little messy, the swan neck and collarbone were naturally exposed, and they were even more dazzling against the background of diamonds.

Lu Shuyue found that Gu Yan had been staring at her, and she was a little shy, and couldn't help coughing dryly to break this embarrassing picture, "Are you ready to go?"

Gu Yan also found that he was out of proportion, inserted his hand in his suit pants, touched his nose, and said, "No, it's just that there are some things that need to be told to you in advance."

"Then go downstairs and say?or?", since coming to the manor, she and Gu Yan have lived in different rooms, and Gu Yan has never been to her room, except for the time when she was poisoned.

"Let's come to the living room"

Gu Yan returned to his former calm and serious face, but his voice was still so warm, like a spring breeze, he said lightly, "There shouldn't be any problems with this ceremony, presumably no one dares to make a mistake, saying that it is a handover ceremony, in fact, it is equivalent to a simple press conference or banquet, informing the guests that the Gu family has changed, so when the time comes, at the ceremony, I will bring you to introduce these people, you just need to talk less." If you don't want to stay too long, you can let me know and I'll arrange it"

Lu Shuyue nodded as if she didn't understand, in fact, she didn't understand a lot of things, why did she have to take her with her in this ceremony? Why did Gu Yan have to start a family to get the position of the Gu family's patriarch? Since she would be asked to leave after the ceremony was over, how would it end after such a high-profile introduction to others would end? These were all very puzzled by her, but she still didn't say anything, but she suddenly thought of a question, and she said it directly without thinking about it.

"That...... Are you gay or not?", Lu Shuyue felt a little ashamed when she asked this question

Gu Yan didn't expect Lu Shuyue to ask this question directly, although she had a similar expression at the beginning, the expression on Gu Yan's face never changed, and she said lightly, "No"

"Since it's not, then you don't like women either, it's hard for you to ......", of course Lu Shuyue couldn't say the words later.

Gu Yan felt funny and helpless, but he still said in a deep voice, "Who said I don't like women?

Lu Shuyue looked at Gu Yan, this man who looks like a man who is angry with everyone, elegant and gentlemanly, but at the moment he seems to be very sad, but there is a trace of despair in his expression, looking at him, Lu Shuyue couldn't help but think that it was time to meet Qi He, she murmured, "Yes, it is not easy to meet someone you like, it is indeed not easy to love regardless of everything, so when you meet it, you must cherish it..."

"Let's go, it's almost time", Gu Yan didn't want to continue the topic, and proposed to prepare to go.

The venue of the ceremony is still the original family banquet, but what she doesn't know is that there is a special place for banquets in this manor, and the specifications and decorations are better than the top banquet venues outside, when they arrived, almost all the people came, they were the last to arrive, and there were a lot of people in the room, many of them were celebrities and politicians from many countries, including political circles, financial circles, The showbiz and so on appear on TV, all standing in front of her alive at the moment, she doesn't know what Gu Yan is doing at the moment, she knows that the Gu family is very rich, but she doesn't know that the Gu family's background is so strong, she can be regarded as a person who has seen the world, and she can't help but be shocked at this moment.

Gu Yan directly led her from the secret passage directly to another room, where he directly saw Old Man Gu, still that majestic and somewhat frightening voice, "You guys are here!"

"Yes, Dad"

Lu Shuyue also hurriedly bowed and echoed, "Dad."

Old Man Gu seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lu Shuyue's performance, and said more seriously, "I am going to be the mistress of the Gu family soon, how can I deter others from talking so submissively and stingy?"

Lu Shuyue looked confused, didn't know what to say, and hurriedly asked Gu Yan for help.

"Dad, you don't have to worry about this. ”

Old Man Gu snorted and glanced at Lu Shuyue, "Let's go."

Gu Yan and Lu Shuyue followed behind Old Man Gu, and slowly walked to the microphone in the center of the banquet and sat down, and when the others saw him come out, the noisy atmosphere in the entire hall was quiet for a while, and the applause was endless.

Old Man Gu waved his hand, and the applause quieted down, he glanced at the entire hall, and then began to speak, "Thank you for coming, give me Old Gu face." I'm old, I want to be high-spirited and crisscross the world, but now I'm not sitting in front of everyone with a stick? I can't accept the old man, and I can't afford to manage the affairs of the Gu family, so I will hand over the position of the head of the Gu family to my son Gu Yan, and from today on, everything in the Gu family will be in charge of him, and please support him a lot."

Lu Shuyue can feel that this imposing, battle-hardened, and commanding old man has been admired all his life and has a high position, but at this moment, like thousands of ordinary old people, he hopes to return to a plain life and live a peaceful old age.

After Old Man Gu finished speaking, he kept coughing, and his personal bodyguard escorted him to other rooms to rest, and Gu Yan was in charge of the overall situation.

"I believe that there is no one here who does not know me, right? Please take care of me in the future, everyone eat and drink well tonight, and if you don't get drunk, you won't go home", and then the music and flashing lights were remembered and lit up in the whole hall, and these people from the upper class were staggered, and you and I talked enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, this must be your lady, right?" a gentleman greeted them with a foreigner dressed in a suit and leather shoes.

"Hello, Mr. Mack, this is my wife Lu Shuyue", then shook hands, talked a few words, and dealt with the next one, the whole banquet was just non-stop drinking and smiling and shaking hands, Gu Yan kept whispering to explain to him, "This is a member of Congress", "This is a famous financial tycoon, Mr. Richard", "This is a famous writer, and he wrote the novel "Providence" recently published in 50 countries", "This is the national treasure actor of As, and he has won the Oscar for Best Actor for 3 consecutive years"......

At first, Lu Shuyue would exclaim after every introduction, but in the end, it was not surprising, she just felt tired, she didn't like this kind of social situation very much, although she could handle it easily.
