Gu Xinran imagined the scene where Rong Cheng led Lao Hei out and introduced it to others in a serious manner: "This is the young lady of the Rong family", and suddenly felt a little like laughing, and the mood that was so nervous that he couldn't breathe slowly calmed down, and looked at Rong Cheng walking in front, with a broad back, a steady pace, and a confident and indifferent appearance, as if he didn't care if the road ahead was a blessing or a curse.

Gu Xinran trotted to keep up with Rong Cheng, she thought, at least today, she couldn't let down the only person in the family who had good intentions for her.

When the two walked downstairs, they were already close to the start of the banquet, and the people who had gathered on the lawn outside before had now gathered in the hall on the first floor.

The old man seems to have really invited all the people who can be named, and I really don't know why to make such a big show.

Rong Cheng is wearing a well-tailored black suit, tall and tall, with an indifferent temperament, standing on the stairs and looking at the people downstairs with cold eyes, he has a kind of momentum that looks down on the world.

The people downstairs who were still talking and laughing slowly stopped, turned their heads to look at the two people standing upstairs, as if time stood still at this moment, and after a while, there were whispering voices that exploded in the crowd, and these people knew in their hearts that these two fresh faces they had never seen before were probably the protagonists of tonight.

It's just that at the moment they saw Rong Cheng, these people who originally wanted to watch the excitement knew that this second young master was afraid that it was not as easy to deal with as they imagined, no wonder Old Man Rong would get him back from Country M at such a juncture, this is to tell them that even if there is no Rong Ze, it will have no impact on the Rong family.

Rong Cheng only stayed on the stairs for a while, then continued to walk down, and after walking a few steps, he found Gu Xinran standing in place with a pale face, with his head down and not knowing what he was thinking.

Rong Cheng frowned, walked back and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you leave?"

Gu Xinran glanced up at him and whispered, "I'...... I have weak legs. ”

Rong Cheng was helpless, "Didn't I tell you that you don't have to be nervous? They won't eat you again." ”

Gu Xinran said: "But ...... But they ...... Will laugh at me......"

"It's not a joke about you, it's a joke for us. Rong Cheng said, "The group of people below, isn't the purpose of their coming here today just to see jokes?"

Gu Xinran secretly raised her eyes to look down, only to see that the room full of people with different expressions were staring at her, and she was so frightened that she almost sat on the stairs, no matter what kind of psychological construction she had done before, at this moment she just wanted to run back to the room to hide.

Rong Cheng's only patience had been almost exhausted, and he said in a cold voice: "I will give you two choices now, either flee back to Rong Ze like a clown who has fled in the wilderness, or go down with me and finish this play." Do you know how many people down there are waiting to see you escape?"

Gu Xinran felt that she wanted to cry, but she knew that crying in such a place would be really ugly, so she had to force her tears back, and said in a dumb voice: "But I really ...... I don't know anything, and I don't know what to do later......"

"You don't need to do anything, just follow me and keep smiling. Rong Cheng said, "No one is born to do these things, since you have arrived in this family, you should think about your own situation, except for yourself, no one can help you, you should think about how to make yourself live better, instead of shrinking in the corner, praying that other people's conscience will find that you are kinder, and other people's sympathy and pity are unreliable." ”

Gu Xinran still lowered his head, and he didn't know how much he listened to Rong Cheng's words, Rong Cheng was a little disappointed in his heart, and decided not to care about her anymore, so he turned around and walked down.

After walking a few steps, he felt that his sleeve was being pulled, Rong Cheng paused, did not look back, did not speak, and waited for the person behind him to speak.

"Please...... Please take me down. Gu Xinran's faint voice came from behind, the corners of Rong Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, he reached out and pulled the person behind him to the side, and took her hand and put it in the crook of his arm, "Let's go, heroine, the show will begin." ”

Gu Xinran was stunned by what he said, curled the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, a row of white teeth was faintly visible, he looked at Rong Cheng with crooked eyebrows, and responded softly, "Okay." ”

Compared with the two people who came down from upstairs, Lin Mei's face can be said to be very ugly, she threw the wine glass in her hand on the table, hugged her arms and said coldly: "Dog man and woman!"

Standing beside her, Rong Zhentian frowned, and said, "What day is today, can't you say a few words?"

"Heh, what day is today? What does it have to do with me? Rong Zhentian, are you very proud? You only have this illegitimate child in your eyes, right?" Lin Mei gritted her teeth and said, "Have you forgotten that you still have a son lying on the bed!"

"You be quiet!" Rong Zhentian looked around, fortunately, everyone's attention was on Rong Cheng and Gu Xinran now, and no one paid attention to them, "I know that Xiao Ze's matter makes you sad, and I also have heartache, but you can't be angry with others." ”

It's okay that he didn't speak, but as soon as he said this, Lin Mei's reaction was even greater, "I'm angry?!It's only been long since Xiao Ze's accident, and your father can't wait to take that illegitimate son back from country M, I'm afraid it's been planned a long time ago!"

"What do you mean by that!" Rong Zhentian said, "Do you think that we caused Xiao Ze to be like this!"

"Do you know it in your own hearts?"

Rong Zhentian never expected that Lin Mei would have such suspicions, tiger poison does not eat children, not to mention that from childhood to adulthood, he loves Rong Ze very much, Rong Ze's accident, his sadness is no less than anyone else, even the old man, originally looked still in good spirits, since Rong Ze's accident, it seems to be much older, but now, Lin Mei is speculating about them like this, it is simply chilling!

Gu Xinran took Rong Cheng and walked downstairs, where he walked by, the people around him automatically retreated a few steps, as if they were some kind of flood beast, a waiter in a black vest walked to them with a tray, Rong Cheng took a glass of juice for her to hold, took a glass of red wine for himself, and walked to the old man Rong who was surrounded by everyone as if no one was around.

Human society is accustomed to dividing people into three, six, nine and so on according to various standards, even in a circle, it is full of various small groups, just like these people standing in the Rong family hall today, although they are all characters with heads and faces in City B, but there is also a class division in it.

Generally, the people who stand in the outermost circle of the hall, close to the doors, windows or corners of these places are those who are considered high-level in the eyes of ordinary people and are not enough in the eyes of the Rong family, and those who stand in the center or relatively high in the front are already considered rich, but they are not very expensive, only these people who stand next to Old Man Rong are the most expensive and richest people in this B city.

Rong Cheng took Gu Xinran forward and politely greeted a few elderly guests, and he was very confident and calm in his gestures, and several old people had some appreciation in their eyes.

Gu Xinran was already nervous and almost numb at this time, although the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little stiff, it was not rude, she followed Rong Cheng to bend down and call someone, and by the way, she introduced herself, and after a circle, there was nothing wrong, which finally made her feel a little more at ease.

Old Man Rong was very satisfied with Rong Cheng, not only personally introduced him to the people here, but also did not forget to let these old friends who have dealt with Rong Cheng for more than ten years take more care of Rong Cheng, "Ah Cheng has just returned to China, and he is young, and he still doesn't understand many things, so you old friends will need a lot of help in the future." ”

"Old Rong is polite, the second young master has been in country M for many years, and he is young and promising, and the future will definitely be unlimited! Mr. Gu, do you say yes?" It was Shen Rufeng who spoke as the current head of the Shen family.

Among the four major families in City B, in addition to the Rong family and the Lin family, which are big families with a history of 100 years, the Shen family and the Gu family have only begun to emerge in recent decades.

Ever since Rong Cheng approached with Gu Xinran, Gu Boming's face was a little strange, he kept staring at Gu Xinran who was standing beside Rong Cheng, and he didn't even react to Shen Rufeng calling him.

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu?" Shen Rufeng looked at Gu Xinran with his gaze with some puzzlement, I heard Mr. Rong introduce just now, this girl is the new Mrs. Sun of the Rong family, and she looks okay, but Gu Boming stares at other people's granddaughters-in-law like this, it's a bit inappropriate, right?

Gu Boming came back to his senses and looked away from Gu Xinran, "Cough, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just saw that the eldest young lady looked a little like a friend of mine, so I couldn't help but want to take a closer look, and let the old man forgive me." ”

Rong Cheng glanced at Gu Boming thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my sister-in-law and Mr. Gu still have the same surname, maybe it's really fate." ”

Gu Boming's face was a little ugly, and he laughed dryly and said, "Indeed...... It's a coincidence. ”

Gu Xinran was stunned for a while before she realized that Rong Cheng's "sister-in-law" was calling herself, and somehow felt a little shy, and looked at Rong Cheng's line of sight, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a little white and fat, with extremely short hair, a thin layer covering the scalp, and the whole head seemed to have only a white and fat face, I don't know if it was because of nervousness, there was a layer of sweat on his forehead, which looked oily.

Although Gu Xinran didn't have any feelings for this man who said that she had a good face, she couldn't help but think at the same time, they were all surnamed Gu, why was the gap so big?

This man doesn't look amazing, but he has a prominent status, unlike her, he has no sense of presence wherever he goes, and in this kind of occasion, he looks especially out of place.

Just when everyone was greeting, Lin Mei also walked over with Lin Xueyao, "Yo, what are you discussing?
