Chapter 73: The Gu family who was frequently slapped in the face
The smugness in Chen Xiju's eyes was too obvious, and even though Gu Shen tried to control his breathing and not let himself show his emotions, he couldn't help but get angry.
Sensing the emotional changes of the people around him, Ye Qian tightened the fingers holding Gu Shen's arm and motioned to him, "Let me come."
This kind of villain can't let her be too happy!
Ye Qian blinked his eyes and asked innocently and innocently, "Is it Ling Yue?"
Chen Xiju's eyes lit up, thinking that if Ye Qian and Gu Shen had a little temper before the banquet and left an impression that they didn't know the general situation, Gu Yunting would be even more disgusted with them!
She pretended to be cautious for fear of saying something wrong, and said, "Xiaoqian, don't misunderstand, for your sake, our family has made it clear to the other side." ”
Gu Yunting thought that because of Gu Shen's marriage before, he couldn't raise his head in front of Ling Feng for a long time, and the relationship between the two families had only eased recently, and he stared at the two people in front of him coldly.
Ye Qian still looked innocent for some reason, tilted his head and said, "Engagement?" Why haven't I heard Miss Ling mention it." Is there any misunderstanding Auntie?"
Chen Xiju, who was bent on sabotage, couldn't help but raise her voice in surprise, "Have you seen Ling Yue?"
Ye Qian nodded seriously, "I've seen it, we've eaten together!"
She looked sideways at Gu Shen, and her tone was relaxed, "Isn't it, Shen?"
Gu Shen held her hand and nodded to indicate that this was indeed the case.
Chen Xiju couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and looked at Ye Qian suspiciously.
Ye Qian covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Miss Ling told me that she and Gu Shen had met four times at the banquet in total, and they hadn't even spoken before! Now it's not the old society, arranged marriages, blind marriages and dumb marriages, and what the two families say is what. ”
Her face changed suddenly, and her eyes sank a little, "Auntie, today is my wedding banquet with Gu Shen, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to make this kind of joke!"
Gu Yunting's face changed, and he glared at Chen Xiju with pity.
Chen Xiju stole the chicken and didn't make a counter-erosion of rice, his lowered eyes flashed with Senhan's hatred, and when he raised his head again, he was already kind and gentle, and said with a clever smile: "Look at me, what are you talking about on this happy day." As long as you and Gu Shen are happy, it doesn't matter what happens to us. ”
It seems that Ye Qian and Gu Shen got married, and the Gu family suffered a lot of grievances.
But Gu Yunting just eats this set, it can be said that Chen Xiju has eaten Gu Yunting's temper thoroughly over the years, and knows when to say what to say, and what scale to grasp.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Gu Yunting thought that the Gu family had lost such a big help from the Ling family, and the whole person was not good again.
The aura of the cold frozen dead man was felt by even the staff around who were making the final preparations, and they all walked far away.
Ye Qiancai didn't care if Gu Yunting was angry or not, anyway, she and Gu Shen didn't plan to plot against the Gu family, being able to attend the banquet was already enough to give the Gu family face, if she had to be so embarrassed, then she didn't plan to be polite.
She said with a solemn face: "Auntie, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." Miss Ling is not married yet, don't you say this to ruin people's reputation? If the Ling family is investigated, I am afraid that the relationship between the two families for many years will be ruined?"
What Gu Yunting cares about most is the cooperative relationship with the Ling family, or he wouldn't have hit Gu Shen with his idea, if it weren't for Gu Qingyang's young age, and the Ling family only had such a daughter as Ling Yue, he would definitely let the youngest son marry the Ling family.
At this time, after listening to Ye Qian's words, he turned his head with a cold face and glared at Chen Xiju fiercely, and scolded angrily: "If you can't speak, close your mouth, why don't you go and see if the guests have arrived!"
Chen Xiju didn't dare to provoke Gu Yunting, so she had to leave, and when she left, she glared at Ye Qian fiercely at an angle that Gu Yunting didn't pay attention to.
Ye Qian gave her a sweet smile back. She can't pretend to be able to do it, she hasn't had enough of it!
"Mom, I'll go with you. Gu Qingyang chased Chen Xiju out.
Gu Qingxi looked at Ye Qian meaninglessly, and took Gu Yunting's arm, "Dad, today is Gu Shen's big day, I'm afraid it won't be in line with the etiquette to ask my mother to go to welcome guests alone, let's go together!"
Gu Yunting hummed, and walked with Gu Qingxi behind Chen Xiju towards the door of the banquet hall.
Gu Qingxi turned his head, raised the corners of his lips, and showed Ye Qian a meaningful smile.
Ye Qian chuckled and said to Gu Shen: "The people of the Gu family are quite united!"
Gu Shen pinched her fingers and said, "I have you, one is more than enough for four." ”
Ye Qian glanced at him, "Are you sarcastic about me?"
Gu Shen gently scraped the tip of Ye Qian's nose, "Mrs. Gu, I'm praising you for what you can do." ”
Seeing the two of them coming lightly, talking and laughing, the four members of the Gu family were in different moods, but their faces were all ugly.
The guests arrived one after another, Gu Shen and Ye Qian did their duty, maintaining a moderate smile and circling among the guests, both of them were from sales backgrounds, and they were easy to deal with such an occasion.
Gu Yunting consciously had a light on his face, and constantly introduced the two to friends in the Kyoto business district.
Gu Qingxi and Gu Qingyang had already gone to find acquaintances, but Chen Xiju had been following Gu Yunting's side all the time, staring at Gu Shen and the two of them vigilantly like an old hen guarding food.
Ye Qian was amused by the comparison of her "old hen who protects food", Chen Xiju was dressed in a gorgeous dress in pine color, which could not hide the thickness of her waist and bulging belly fat, and she was the image of an old hen with pine flowers.
Bloated, greasy, and customary, it is simply different from Qiao Min, who has an elegant temperament and is generous and decent, Ye Qian couldn't figure out how Gu Yunting could abandon Qiao Min and choose to be with Chen Xiju, is this the so-called blind derailment.
He's really blind! Or maybe Chen Xiju is really smart!
However, no matter from which point of view, Qiao Min's departure from Gu Yunting was a correct choice. Staying away from scumbags is a gratifying thing.
Gu Shen saw Ye Qian's distraction, and the voice that only two people could hear in her ears whispered: "What do you think, so obsessed?"
Ye Qian replied sideways in almost the same volume: "I was thinking that Sister Qiao is really a model of our women. ”
Smart, decisive, and not dragging his feet on feelings, twenty years ago, society was still very conservative, and there was a lot of discrimination against divorced single women, but even so, after Qiao Min knew that Gu Yunting was cheating, he did not hesitate to choose divorce and stop losses in time. Alone with the eldest child, I lived my own wonderful life.
Twenty years later, not every woman can do it.
Ye Qian is emotionally black and white, so he appreciates Qiao Min even more.
At this time, Chen Xiju suddenly jumped out to brush up on his sense of existence, "Lao Gu, you see how good the relationship between these two children is, just for a while, they still have to whisper." ”
Her voice suddenly rose two degrees, sharp and harsh, and Ye Qian's eyes shone slightly, knowing that she was going to be a demon again.
Ye Qian's whole body was chilled by a cold gaze, and she gently turned her eyes to a pair of sharp eyes similar to Ling Yue.
Gu Shen looked over at about the same time as her, lowered his voice and said in her ear, "Ling Feng." ”
Ye Qianqing.
Chen Xiju is holding on to the stalk of Gu Ling's two families getting engaged and refuses to let go.
Gu Yunting glanced at Chen Xiju with some reproach, took two steps forward with a smile, and took the initiative to stretch out, "Old Ling, the hospitality is not good, see the smile." ”
Ling Feng shook hands with Gu Yunting, but his eyes kept staring at Gu Shen, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Gu is modest, such a pomp, I am afraid that the Gu family in Kyoto is the first." ”
Gu Shen bowed slightly: "Uncle Ling is good." Let me introduce, my wife Ye Qian. ”
Ling Feng snorted, his face cold, and his eyebrows looked at Ye Qian coldly.
Ye Qian smiled and nodded, "Uncle Ling, hello." ”
Chen Xiju deliberately asked, "Lao Ling, what about Ling Yue, why didn't I come with you?" ”
Of course, it was impossible for Ling Feng to let Ling Yue attend the banquet, in his opinion, this was undoubtedly a humiliation, if it wasn't for the cooperation project with the Gu family, he wouldn't have come today.
His face was gloomy, his face was darkened with ink, and he said coolly: "She has more important things to do, so she is busy." ”
The implication is that this banquet is insignificant at all, and it is not worth Ling Yue's attendance.
Chen Xiju sighed lightly and said, "It's a pity, it's our Gu family who is not blessed." ”
She didn't say a word, she didn't say that she regretted that Ling Yue didn't come, or sighed because the marriage between the two families couldn't be achieved. But everyone present knew that it must be the latter.
Chen Xiju is just trying to stir up trouble, she didn't believe what Ye Qian said, Ling Yue would not care about Gu Shen marrying someone else, everyone knew that Ling Feng favored Ling Yue's daughter the most, if Ling Yue didn't like Gu Shen, how could he take the initiative to marry the Gu family?
But she missed a little, the person who didn't want to fall out with the Ling family the most was Gu Yunting, not Gu Shen, Gu Shen didn't care about the Ling family, anyway, after eating, he patted his ass and went back to Lingang, he didn't care what happened to the Gu family, it was better to go bankrupt now, and let Chen Xiju and them all sleep on the streets.
Gu Yunting pinched Chen Xiju's arm angrily, the warning in his eyes was strong, and he gritted his back teeth and said, "You're tired, go over there and rest for a while!"
Chen Xiju's lips moved, and she wanted to say something, but Gu Yunting glared at her, and she could only bow her head weakly and leave unwillingly.
Ye Qianben was still having a headache on how to resolve it, although she and Gu Shen didn't care about Gu Yunting's feelings, but she just didn't want Chen Xiju to succeed.
Unexpectedly, before she could make a move, Chen Xiju played herself to death.
Facing Chen Xiju's compassionate gaze in the upper corner, Ye Qian smiled like a spring breeze.
Soon, other celebrities came over with wine glasses to talk, and the unpleasantness with Ling Feng was over.
Gu Qingxi paced over from nowhere, took Chen Xiju's original position, and continued to stare closely at people.
Seeing them guarding her and Gu Shen like a relay race, Ye Qian only felt funny.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked over with a wine glass, he obviously knew Gu Shen, and his eyes fell directly on him, "Mr. Gu, hello." ”
Gu Yunting was talking with one of Gu's partners, and when he heard someone called Mr. Gu, he turned his head suddenly, and was immediately surprised and delighted, this person was Su Zhi, the general manager of Guangyao International, whom he planned to befriend.
He was raising his hand to meet him, but he saw Su Zhi and Gu Shen's hands clasped together, and they shook it for half a minute, and they started talking with each other.
Gu Yunting embarrassedly withdrew his hand in mid-air, clenched his fist against his lips and coughed lightly.
Gu Shen said lightly: "Let me introduce, my wife Ye Qian, and my father Gu Yunting." ”
He said to Ye Qian again: "Xiao Qian, this is the general manager of Guangyao International, Su Zhi. ”
"Mr. Su, hello. ”
"Hello, Mrs. Gu. Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu, talented and beautiful, are really a pair of wall people. Come and give me a glass to the two of you, and I wish you a hundred years of good union and eternal marriage. ”
Gu Yunting was like a green onion when he bought vegetables, and he was left to dry, his face was pale.
If you want to go away and save the opportunity to make friends with Su Zhi, Guangyao International has many big development projects in Kyoto recently, and if you can participate in it and get a piece of the pie, it will be of great benefit to Gu's development in the next five years.
At the same time, Gu Yunting realized that he had seriously underestimated this son. He has been stocked in Lingang for many years, but he will not have much success as a senior white-collar worker, but the current situation is far different from what he thinks.
He didn't believe that Su Zhi hadn't heard of the names of the Gu family and his Gu Yunting, but compared to Gu Shen, Su Zhi felt that the Gu family was not that important.
Su Zhi would rather talk to Ye Qian in Gu Shen's face, but he didn't look at him much.
The people who can enter this banquet hall today are all people like human spirits, and listening to Gu Shen's introduction just now, they all know that his father is not that important. Of course, Su Zhi wouldn't give him any face.
Gu Yunting was annoyed, he spent so much energy and money to hold a wedding banquet for Gu Shen, he was even stingy with a connection.
He seemed to have forgotten that this wedding banquet was not something Gu Shen asked him to do, but on the contrary, he begged Gu Shen to participate.
Similar situations continue to happen, and Gu Shen is greeted by multinational foreign-funded enterprises, although these people are salaried professional managers, but they hold real power and have a strong foundation of foreign capital, which is the target of their domestic family enterprises, but Gu Shen has these resources in his hands, but he has no intention of introducing them to him.
Watching these opportunities flow away in vain, Gu Yunting's whole person was not good.
He pricked up his ears to listen to Gu Shen's conversation with those people, and gradually heard some doorways.
Knowing that Gu Shen is the COO of Rastar International, which is also a foreign-funded multinational company, these people are either Gu Shen's classmates abroad, or old acquaintances at business summits, and their Western-style work is different from these family businesses in China.
Rastar International has been developing rapidly in China in recent years, and these people are more willing to associate with Gu Shen than the conservative Gu family.
Also depressed is Gu Qingxi, she has always had a high opinion of herself, and she regards herself as the most capable new generation in the Gu family, and she is completely defeated in front of Gu Shen at this moment.
is also COO, she has to rely on her father to take the top position in the family business, and compared with Gu Shen, a COO who works her own and works in a large international company, it is not enough to see it at all.
At this moment, she stood beside Gu Shen at most a vase, and thought that Ye Qian's existence had become a dusty vase, and she couldn't find the value of existence at all.
And what worried her even more was that when someone complimented Gu Shen, Gu Yunting's originally little content face bloomed with pride and pride, which Gu Qingxi had never seen before.
It's not that she didn't have a time when she was proud of her achievements, but Gu Qingxi had never seen her father so proud of her. When Gu Qingxi won the Top Ten Outstanding Women Entrepreneurs Award last year, Gu Yunting just patted her on the shoulder and said, "Good job". When he said this, there was not a smile on his face.
What makes Gu Qingxi even more unacceptable is that several CEOs of enterprises who have had a lot of cooperation with Gu's family all regard Gu Shen as Gu's future successor, praising Gu Yunting for teaching his children well, and putting his children outside to experience, and the results are indeed more successful than their "domestic", Gu Yunting even smiled and did not deny this. even joked with people: "In a few years, I can rest assured that I will go home and make fun of my grandson." ”
Gu Qingxi has always thought that her biggest competitor is her own brother Gu Qingyang, and as a daughter, she will inevitably be treated by Gu Yunting as an outsider who is about to get married.
For this reason, Gu Qingxi works harder than others, she is busy from morning to night every day, working at least 14 hours, she never falls in love, and is ready to be single all the time. Over the years, she has always asked for herself as the future heir of the Gu family, just to get Gu Yunting's approval, but now he is easily handing everything over to Gu Shen.
Why?
What has Gu Shen done for the Gu family? nothing!
Gu Qingxi's eyes burned with jealousy, his fists were clenched, and his fingernails were deeply piercing his palms without realizing it.
Also with a big change in face were Chen Xiju and Gu Qingyang, who had been swaying around Gu Yunting, pricking up their ears to listen to the movement here.
Many years ago, Chen Xiju lost at the hands of Qiao Min once, so she lost her husband, and her children had no father, how many tricks did she use to regain this man and sit firmly in the position of Mrs. Gu for twenty years. Now Jomin's son is back and wants to snatch the family business that should have belonged to her children.
How can this be?
It seems that everyone has forgotten that at least half of the Gu family's country was fought by Qiao Min and the Qiao family behind her, and without Qiao Min, there would be no Gu family today.
But people tend to remember only what is good for them, and selectively forget about the other part.
Ye Qian was in a good mood because of this, although she and Gu Shen had no intention of getting involved with the Gu family, it was good to be able to add a little blockage to them.
At the end of the wedding banquet, except for Gu Yunting, all four members of the Gu family were as sluggish as frosted eggplants, and they had no spirit to stir up trouble.
Ye Qian returned to the room and couldn't help laughing.
"You don't know Chen Xiju's ugly appearance at the beginning, I want to ask you how much money you have, no, let's smash the pot and sell iron to get together, buy some shares of the Gu family, and enter the board of directors to crack down on her. Who knows that I haven't said this yet, the plot is reversed, happy, happy to kill me!"
Gu Shen smiled and unbuttoned his shirt, and while taking off his clothes, Bian Yun said lightly: "If you want to buy Gu's, you don't need to smash the pot and sell iron." ”
Ye Qian stared at Gu Shen with wide eyes and said, "How much money do you have?"
"You're just finding out now!"
Gu Shen pecked her lips and walked behind her to help her unzip and take off her dress.
The dress skirt fell to the ground, Ye Qian turned around Gu Shen's neck, and asked with silky eyes: "Those people in the back today, did you arrange them on purpose?"
If one or two went straight to Gu Shen and didn't give Gu Yunting face, Ye Qian would still think it was accidental, but there was only one explanation for so many similar situations later, and it was Gu Shen's intention.
Gu Shen lowered his head and kissed her ear, and said with a low smile: "Obviously?"
"It's too obvious, okay?" Ye Qian chuckled, "However, I like it." I didn't expect my husband to be a treasure boy! ”
"I have something more powerful, do you want to give it a try?" Gu Shen picked up Ye Qian and walked to the bathroom.
The laughter gradually turned into a heavy gasp......
Because he slept too late that night, Gu Shen changed the afternoon plane to return to Lingang.
When it was close to noon, Ye Qian had just woken up in a daze when he received a call from Gu Yunting.
"I'm in the restaurant on the second floor, come down right away. ”
It's like this again, and he can't help but say what he wants to say and hang up the phone without politeness.
Listening to the blind voice on the phone, Ye Qian really didn't want to deal with him for a moment, let him wait! But thinking about Gu Yunting's style of acting, if he can't wait, he will definitely find a way to find him. A room number is not enough to stump him.
Half an hour later, Gu Shen and Ye Qian appeared in the restaurant on the second floor.
Gu Yunting took the whole family to wait in the VIP private room, this should be the highest treatment from Gu Yunting since Gu Shen was born.
Chen Xiju sat on Gu Yunting's left side with the appearance of a good wife and mother, followed by Gu Qingxi and Gu Qingyang.
The seat on Gu Yunting's right was empty, obviously reserved for Gu Shen.
Gu Shen's thin lips were slightly hooked, and he pulled out a mocking sneer, and he crossed two seats to help Ye Qian pull away the horse, and then he sat down next to Ye Qian, and the table of the ten-person platform happened to vacate two positions between Gu Shen and Gu Qingyang, and the four members of the Gu family were clearly opposed.
The corners of Gu Yunting's mouth twitched, and he instructed the waiter to serve the food.
The dishes were ordered by Gu Yunting early in the morning, and people like him would not think of asking others what they like to eat.
Soon, the dishes came up one after another, and Gu Yunting also entered the topic.
"In the future, Gu's wants to carry out real estate projects in several cities in Kyoto, and Guangyao International has experience and background in this regard, and you will be responsible for matchmaking. ”
Gu Shen raised his eyebrows, and said a little shyly: "Why?"
Gu Yunting was stunned, "Aren't you close to Su Zhi, I see that you had a good chat yesterday, many projects have cooperation intentions, and it is not a big problem to bring a thread to the Gu family." ”
Gu Shen fiddled with the lighter in his hand and said nonchalantly: "The problem is not a big problem, but why should I introduce my connections to you?"
Gu Yunting's eyes were shocked, and he said in a stiff tone: "Gu Shen, as a member of the Gu family, you have the responsibility to help the Gu family and the Gu family." ”
Gu Shen sneered and said: "Heh! Do you think of me now? In the past 20 years, I have spent a penny of your Gu family and eaten a grain of rice from your Gu family? Now I think that I am a member of the Gu family, when you drove our mother and son out of the house, why didn't you think that we are also members of the Gu family? Oh, if you want me to help, I am a member of the Gu family, and I have no use value, and if you kick it away, Gu Yunting has been useless at all these years. It's still so shameless!"
Gu Yunting was annoyed and angry, slapped the table and said, "Bastard, I'm your son!How did your mother teach you, and are there any rules?"
"Rules? Rules are for people, but what rules do I tell for animals?"
The ghost blows the lamp
