Chapter 72: The Gu Family
I thought that the wedding banquet would be over, but I received a call from Gu Yunting the next day.
Because Gu Yunting's mobile phone number was not saved yesterday, Ye Qian's mobile phone was still showing strange calls at this time.
"Hey, hello. ”
"Ye Qian, you are so bold, you dare to disobey me! Let me tell you, no one can play me Gu Yunting yet! The matter of the wedding banquet is not negotiable! As a member of the Gu family, you have to serve the interests of the Gu family, this is the responsibility you should bear!"
"Since you promised me at the beginning, don't think about going back! You go back and tell Gu Shen that if you still want shares in the company, give me Lao Tzu and I will be honest and obedient, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Ye Qian, I warn you, don't think about any tricks anymore, the wedding invitation has been sent out, you have to come that day, and you have to come if you don't come! Whoever dares to make the Gu family lose face, don't think about entering the Gu family's door again!"
didn't give Ye Qian a chance to speak, Gu Yunting finished shouting what he wanted to say, and hung up with a snap.
Ye Qian hung up the phone in a daze, and couldn't breathe well for a long time.
No wonder Gu Shen didn't even want to mention Gu Yunting, her father-in-law really didn't know how to respect others at all.
As far as shares and dividends are concerned, if you say it to Gu Shen, I am afraid that there will be another uproar, with Ye Qian's understanding of Gu Shen, she has no doubt that Gu Shen can do anything to throw the money back to Yunting's face.
Both father and son have the same temper.
Hey, let's discuss with my mother-in-law Qiao Min what to do! Dealing with the relationship between these two fathers and sons, Qiao Min must already be very experienced.
It just so happened that a customer who was a picking farm gave her two boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables, and Ye Qian drove to Qiao Min to deliver them.
Ye Zixuan returned to the town after the wedding, and the class she led entered the third year of high school this year, and it was not allowed to be loose.
Qiao Min, who has no one to be a companion, is sitting on the Ming Dynasty Huanghuali circle chair in the west wing at this time reading a book, her body is slightly sideways, one hand supports her cheeks, and her hair is simply tied in a bun, which is placed at the back of her head at will, with a lazy beauty.
Seeing Ye Qian, she pursed the corners of her lips, revealing a shallow pear vortex, "Why did you come here at this time?"
"The customer sent some fresh and pollution-free fruits and vegetables, and I sent them to you. ”
Ye Qian sat down next to Qiao Min, and the two were separated by a wooden coffee table.
Qiao Min put down the book, his eyes were clear, "Gu Shen's father is looking for you again?"
"Give me a call. The invitation to say that it was a wedding banquet has been released. Ye Qian picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qiao Min, her tea art was not at home, and she could barely see people.
Qiao Min took a sip of tea, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is still so authoritarian and doesn't care about other people's feelings." ”
Ye Qian fiddled with the teacup in his hand, lowered his eyebrows and kept silent. From the position of her daughter-in-law, she is not good at spitting out her father-in-law. Gu Yunting's approach is indeed speechless.
Qiao Min looked at Ye Qian with a gentle gaze, "His words are hard to hear, right? Don't take it to heart, and live your life with Gu Shen." Others are in Kyoto, and Gu Shen can't contact him once or twice a year, so it won't affect you. ”
"Mom, are you looking at the wedding banquet?"
Ye Qian thought about it seriously, if the Gu family really needed them to have a wedding banquet to socialize the business circle in Kyoto, she would not be unacceptable, so she would treat it as overtime to attend a business cocktail party, and there was nothing wrong with it.
It's just that Gu Shen's attitude is that he doesn't intend to cooperate at all, and Gu Yunting's attitude is really uncomfortable, so Ye Qian doesn't want to help him at all. At this time, Qiao Min's attitude is particularly important.
Qiao Min put down the teacup and raised his eyes to look at Ye Qian, "Then do you want to go yourself?"
Ye Qian pursed his lips and said: "I naturally don't want to go, but it's not completely impossible to cooperate, if my father really needs it, I can also accompany Gu Shen to go over and get to know more friends in the business community in Kyoto, it doesn't hurt." ”
Qiao Min smiled, "You are a kind-hearted and sensible child, Gu Shen married you, it is his blessing." I think you can also see that Gu Shen has a bad relationship with his father. ”
"There are my reasons for this, I have been divorced from his father for 20 years, and many people and things are involved, and Gu Shen also resents his father because of this, but this is always the grievance of our older generation, and I don't want him to always participate in it and hold on to it. After all, they are two fathers and sons, and they are connected by blood, so wouldn't it be good for the relationship to ease?"
"Gu Shen has been following me all these years, my feelings have been estranged, and I am holding back a resentment in my heart, in the past few years, the two fathers and sons have either not met, as long as they meet, they are arguing, and their tempers are more stubborn than the other. Your wedding is the most harmonious between father and son in recent years. ”
Looking at Qiao Min sighed softly, his eyes fell on the void in the distance, with a faint sadness in his expression, and he looked a little depressed in the twilight.
Ye Qian patted her hand as a sign of comfort, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"
Qiao Min sighed again and turned his eyes to look at her, "If possible, help me persuade Gu Shen more! You don't have to be too persistent in everything, let go of others, and let go of yourself." What's more, it's always a family. ”
Coming out of Yaju, Ye Qian felt that the burden on her body was heavier, although it was not clear what kind of grievances were between Qiao Min and Gu Yunting, and she didn't know what the situation of the Gu family was, but it was also conceivable that in such a family, the relationship between family characters would inevitably be intertwined and difficult to handle.
But Qiao Min is right, Gu Shen has always been Gu Yunting's son, there is no need for the two fathers and sons to act like enemies, they should be relaxed.
Gu Shen's work has been very busy recently, and when he got home at night, it was already ten o'clock, Ye Qian was waiting for him while watching TV in the living room, and fell asleep on the sofa unconsciously.
Gu Shen turned off the TV casually when he entered the door, pulled a thin blanket to cover her, Ye Qian moved, and opened his eyes leisurely.
"Husband, you're back, why are you always so late these days?"
Gu Shen sat down beside her and stroked the broken hair in her ear, "Recently, there are a few big projects at hand to follow up, and if you are tired in the future, go upstairs to sleep, don't wait for me." ”
Ye Qian sat up, leaned his head on Gu Shen's shoulder, wrapped his hands around his waist, and said softly, "Without you, I can't sleep." ”
Gu Shen chuckled, "You are suddenly so well-behaved, why do I have straight hairs in my heart, let's say, what the hell is going on?"
Ye Qian clenched his fist and pounded his chest, "What are you talking about, you, am I that kind of person?"
Gu Shen held her hand and kissed her on the lips, "Anyway, it's the first time you say such a numb word." ”
Ye Qian withdrew his hand, sat up straight and wanted to leave, and said coquettishly: "Then I won't say anything in the future, don't regret it." ”
Gu Shen fished her back into his arms, his chin resting on her neck socket, "Don't, just say whatever you want, no matter how numb you are, I like to listen to it." ”
Ye Qian snorted, looking like he knew you.
Gu Shen dropped a fine kiss on her neck, and his voice sounded in a low voice, "Is he looking for you again?"
Ye Qian was slightly surprised, it seems that this family knows Gu Yunting's style very well, knows that he is not so easy to give up, and also knows that he will definitely start from his own side.
"You don't have to pay attention to him, he calls, you can endure listening to a few words if you are willing to listen, hang up directly if you are not willing to listen, and block him if it doesn't work. Gu Shen squeezed Ye Qian's soft and white hand, "Anyway, I would have blocked him a long time ago." ”
Ye Qian was speechless, no wonder Gu Yunting called her every time, it turned out that her son couldn't get through on the phone.
Gu Shen chuckled twice and said, "Now that the old man wants to find me, let the assistant call me, and I'll let the assistant help me listen." If you don't talk directly, I think it's worry-free. ”
Ye Qian whispered tentatively: "Aren't you making the relationship more and more stiff like this, no matter how you say it, you are also an elder, you can bear it or bear it better." ”
Gu Shen sneered, "You still don't know enough about him, you will know after a long time, he can't let him, forbearance will only make him even worse, forcing you to lower the bottom line again and again." Sister Qiao is the best example, let her come and go, and finally let her husband go, and she came to Lingang alone. This is Gu Yunting, he will definitely force you to retreat. ”
"Do you have any misunderstanding about him?" Ye Qian said weakly, for fear that he had accidentally ignited the explosives.
Gu Shen's voice suddenly raised twice, "Misunderstanding? I didn't misunderstand him. Selfish, arrogant, and indifferent to other people's feelings, I have long seen him through as a person. ”
Ye Qian held his hand, his fingers passed through his fingers, and interlocked with his ten fingers, "I went to Yaju to visit my mother today, listen to her meaning, and still hope that you can live in peace." ”
Gu Shen said coldly: "Not interacting with each other is the most peaceful way for us to get along." If he doesn't come to trouble me, I naturally won't go to him. ”
Ye Qian sighed lightly, was silent for a while, and said, "If you are like this, my mother will feel uncomfortable." She always thinks that it is because of her that your father-son relationship is so bad. ”
"What does it have to do with her? I've always looked at the old man unpleasantly. ”
"However, I could tell that my mother was blaming herself. ”
Gu Shen's thin lips were gently pursed into a straight line, his handsome face was gloomy, and he said for a while: "What do you want me to do?"
Ye Qian saw that his attitude softened, and said in a low voice: "If you don't want to have a wedding banquet, let's cooperate, I heard that the invitations have been sent out, and it will be too bad for our father to lose face if we don't go." ”
Hearing this, Gu Shen's anger came up again, "He is used to persecuting people like this, so you will be soft-hearted, if you want me to say it, let him lose face once, see if he dares to do this next time?"
People don't say how you are a son, they will only say that I am too frivolous and ignorant as a daughter-in-law. ”
Ye Qian shook Gu Shen's arm and said coquettishly: "You feel sorry for me, don't let me be poked in the back in the back, okay?"
Gu Shen's hand around his waist suddenly tightened, "Wife, it's obvious that you have been wronged, who is willing to chew the root of your tongue and let them chew it." ”
"What's the grievance? Isn't it just a wedding banquet, and in a few hours, we'll treat it as a cameo! Don't you usually come over like this when you attend a business reception? Let's just give them a face and go to Kyoto to work overtime?"
Gu Shen chuckled, "Okay, okay, let's go to Kyoto on a business trip and have a meal by the way." ”
Ye Qian hooked his lips and kissed Gu Shen's lips, "Husband, you are so good." ”
Gu Shen clasped the back of her head, his forehead against hers, "It's really good that you, I'd rather wronged myself for my sake." ”
The lingering kiss fell gently, and it was a beautiful room again.
……
The wedding banquet was held in the most luxurious six-star hotel in Kyoto, and Gu Yunting spent enough thought on this banquet to open up the two largest banquet halls on the fifth floor of the hotel, which could easily accommodate thousands of people. All of Kyoto, all the representatives with assets of more than 100 million yuan, with status and status, have received invitations.
Not only is the banquet very exquisite, but all the chefs are Michelin-starred chefs from all over the world, and it can be said that it is the biggest event in Kyoto in recent years.
The Gu family is also one of the best wealthy families in Kyoto, and there are not a few people who want to make friends with it, even if they can't climb the Gu family, they plan to be able to make friends with their favorite merchants in order to seek more benefits.
Therefore, almost all the entrepreneurs in the city are eyeing tonight's banquet, and some small entrepreneurs who are not qualified enough to spend high prices just to get an invitation.
Gu Shen and Ye Qian waited until the morning of the 16th to take a plane to Kyoto, they did not go to the Gu family, but directly checked into the hotel's luxury business suite.
Gu Shen meant that he really planned to treat this as a business trip, Ye Qian knew that this was already his biggest concession, and he didn't encourage him to go back home.
Gu Yunting waited until two o'clock in the afternoon and finally couldn't hold back his call to Ye Qian, his voice was cold and full of anger, "Where are you?"
This time, Ye Qian's eyes were long, and his phone number was saved, and he was just right, "We have arrived at the Kyoto Hotel, please rest assured." ”
Gu Yunting was obviously stunned on the other end of the phone, and then asked, "You don't look back home?"
Before Ye Qian could answer, Gu Shen had already answered the phone and said coldly: "It's good that we live in the hotel, so we won't bother." ”
Gu Yunting luckily said: "What is the room number, I have arranged a modeling team for you, so let them come to you." ”
"No, we'll take care of it ourselves. See you in the banquet hall in the evening!"
After Gu Shen finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly, quite with the momentum of Gu Yunting's usual domineering and intolerable speech.
Ye Qian could imagine Gu Yunting on the other end of the phone, wanting to speak and being mad before he had time to speak, and he felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
After the two rested in the room for a while, Gu Shen briefly introduced the relationship between the Gu family to Ye Qian, and the tone and attitude were no different from introducing the company's personnel structure.
Ye Qian listened carefully, and taking notes from time to time was no different from doing usual work.
Gu Yunting's current wife is called Chen Xiju, a country woman with only high Chinese, and she has a son and a daughter for Gu Yunting.
Son Gu Qingyang, 22 years old this year, just graduated from college and entered Gu's study.
Daughter Gu Qingxi, 33 years old this year, is currently Gu's COO.
Hearing that Gu Qingxi was older than Gu Shen, a trace of fluctuation appeared on Ye Qian's calm face, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Shen.
Gu Shen pulled his lips and said: "Before the old man met Sister Qiao, he had a childhood sweetheart from a humble background in his hometown, and he didn't bring it to Kyoto, he hid it from everyone, including Sister Qiao. ”
At that time, the Gu family had just entered Kyoto, and there was a lack of contacts, funds, and resources, although the Qiao family was not a famous family in Kyoto, but Qiao's father, as the president of Kyoto University, had cultivated countless elite students and was active in Kyoto's business and political circles.
Gu Yunting probably took a fancy to this and pursued Qiao Min, Qiao Min was just twenty years old at the time, and he had not yet graduated from college, where was Gu Yunting's opponent who had already experienced marriage, and was deceived by his rhetoric, and quickly agreed to his marriage proposal.
Gu Shen didn't know how Gu Yunting deceived his wife in his hometown into divorcing him, and then married Qiao Min.
Until Gu Shen was five years old, the Gu family was stable, and relying on the Qiao family's connections, he became a pivotal first-class enterprise in Kyoto, and Qiao Min's use value gradually weakened.
When Gu Shen was six years old, Qiao's father died, and Qiao Min completely lost its use value, at this time, Chen Xiju, Gu Yunting's wife in the countryside, led their eight-year-old daughter Gu Qingxi to find him.
Only then did Qiao Min know that Gu Yunting had been married, and under Gu Yunting's coaxing of both soft and hard, Chen Xiju moved into the small building in the backyard of the Gu family with her children.
Since then, Gu Yunting has often been in and out of the backyard in the name of watching children.
When Gu Shen was eight years old, Chen Xiju became pregnant again, and the child was of course Gu Yunting's.
Qiao Min filed for divorce, Gu Yunting couldn't ask for it, and agreed almost on the spot. The two had a long dispute over Gu Shen's guardianship, and later Qiao Min went out of the house at the cost of leaving the house, and Chen Xiju found out that the baby was a boy at that time, so Gu Yunting gave up Gu Shen's guardianship.
After that, Gu Shen and Qiao Min moved to live at their grandfather's house in Lingang, and they have been living until now.
And Gu Yunting and his ex-wife Chen Xiju remarried, with a son and a daughter, enjoying the glory and wealth earned by relying on the Qiao family. And his domineering and self-righteous personality also intensified as Gu became bigger and bigger.
Speaking of these past events, Gu Shen's handsome face lines became sharp, and there was a gloomy aura around him.
He clasped his hands tightly, "You said that such a selfish scumbag, what point is worthy of being my father and worthy of my respect? ”
Gu Shen snorted coldly, "Gu family, Gu family, I'm not rare at all. If it weren't for Sister Qiao's face, I would have broken away from the father-son relationship with him a long time ago. ”
Ye Qian can imagine the hardships of Qiao Min, a single woman with her son alone, and also understands why she and Ye Zixuan have so much common language.
And Gu Shen had to face those complicated family relationships at such a young age, facing his father's derailment, his parents' divorce, from Kyoto to Lingang, and starting over in a strange city.
With his own efforts, he has today's achievements and wealth, and the bitterness and pain of this Ye Qian are very clear. They are the same kind of people and have similar experiences, so they also understand each other's feelings best at this time.
Ye Qian's heart ached a little, but he didn't show it too much.
She shook Gu Shen's hand and said calmly: "Okay, I understand, no matter what you want to do in the future, I will support you." ”
She blinked and said, "If I don't do it now, I'll block the old man's phone now, making him jump to his feet in a hurry." ”
Gu Shen smiled and scratched her nose, "Okay, just decide." However, we have to buy a beautiful dress first, and I have Mrs. Gu to be glamorous at all times. As much as I would love to see the old man lose face, I can't do it at the expense of our losses. ”
Before coming to Kyoto, Gu Shen had already made an appointment with the most famous celebrity stylist in Kyoto in the most famous styling studio here to style Ye Qian.
That night, Ye Qian wore a mercury bandeau evening dress, and the fishtail shape perfectly showed off her delicate and slender figure.
Her skin is as smooth as white porcelain, as soft and delicate as milk, and her petite face is even brighter and more beautiful under the exquisite makeup.
Gu Shen was dressed in a silver-gray handmade haute couture suit, elegant and noble like an ancient nobleman in a medieval castle in Europe, and the two stood side by side in the center of the banquet hall, shining like two bright balls.
Gu Yunting's face showed a relieved smile, and the expression on the face of the Gu family behind him was brilliant, the stiff expression that he had to hold back and force a smile when he was obviously very jealous, made Ye Qian's heart dark.
Chen Xiju held Gu Yunting and smiled with a motherly smile that couldn't be faker, "Why don't you stay at home, what kind of hotel do you live in as a family, I asked the housekeeper to clean up the guest room for you early, and when the banquet is over, you are welcome to live in your home." It's been a long time since this house has been so lively. Yunting, don't you say?"
Of course, Gu Yunting wants his son to go home and live, and he usually doesn't get close to him, which is also his own son, not to mention that his son is so good.
He hummed faintly, "Go home and live at night, your aunt is ready." ”
Gu Shen sneered and said: "It's better to say goodbye, talking about a family, but it's the guest room that comes out, are you sure that the welcome you say is really welcome?" We still live in a hotel suite, and it's more comfortable than the customer." ”
Gu Yunting's face was slightly gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have to talk so yin and yang? Your aunt has been busy with you coming back these days, why don't we welcome you?"
Gu Shen sneered: "Whether you are busy before and after you are busy, whether you welcome us, or welcome the celebrities all over the city, everyone knows it, we should come over to help you play a show, as for those good things of father and son filial piety, you should go home with the good sons and daughters behind you and enjoy them slowly! ”
"You!" Gu Yunting's face sank completely, as black as the bottom of a pot.
Chen Xiju immediately smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's rare for the two fathers and sons to see each other all year round, and it's such a happy day, so they don't say a word, and they are kind." ”
A look was handed over, Gu Qingyang immediately walked over and hugged Gu Yunting's arm and said with a smile: "Laugh, my good father, it's rare to have a brother, sister-in-law is here, don't keep a straight face." ”
Gu Qingxi also said: "Yes, Dad, the guests are about to arrive, how bad it is for people to see." ”
Gu Yunting's face was slightly pale, and he glared at Gu Shen and said, "Look at your sister, how sensible your brother is, just say a sentence to the top." ”
Gu Shen snorted, and was about to sneer at him, but Ye Qian pulled his arm and shook his head slightly at him.
Chen Xiju squeezed out that exaggerated smile again, pulled Ye Qian and said: "This is Xiao Qian, you look so beautiful, no wonder Gu Shen likes you so much, he can't even look down on the daughter of the Ling family that his father ordered, and he regrets his marriage." ”
is so straightforward to praise and disparage, deliberately provoking, Ye Qian can only hehe.
Sure enough, Gu Yunting's eyes when he looked at Ye Qian again revealed a deep dissatisfaction, the marriage with the Ling family would bring him tens of billions of benefits, and he was ruined by such a country girl.
What's the use of being good-looking? The girl of the Ling family is a little worse than her, a little worse than her!
Gu Shen, this kid, is clearly going to work with him, and if he wants to go east, he will go west, so when he thinks about it, Gu Yunting's eyes when he looks at his son are becoming more and more unkind.
The ghost blows the lamp
