Chapter 362: Ability
After arriving at the door, Gu Xiang finally met the head of the Locke family who had invited them.
The head of the Locke family was a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties and wore gold-rimmed glasses.
Although he looked very weak, Gu Xiang couldn't ignore the shrewdness in his eyes.
His female companion is a classical Western lady who is also elegant and beautiful, her eyes are very beautiful blue, and the whole person gives people the feeling of beauty and holiness.
Through the introduction of the head of the Locke family, Gu Xiang learned that this beautiful lady was his new wife, and her name was Laura.
No wonder she can stand here, and at the same time, Gu Xiang also knew from Huo Bin's mouth that Laura was the eldest daughter of the DuPont family, a nine-major consortium.
There are more marriages between these foreign families and consortia than in China, and the relationship is complicated, so Gu Xiang carefully wrote down their previous relationship.
After entering the hall, they saw that Grace was very excited and walked towards them with her new husband Dees in her arms.
"Senior brother, senior sister-in-law, why did you come, I have to thank you for the flowers I am waiting for."
Hearing Fuli say this, Gu Xiang said with a smile, "Because I was grinding, I went out late, by the way, how is your honeymoon?" β
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, her face was full of excitement, and she stepped forward to take Gu Xiang's hand and put it on her stomach, "Touch, what do you feel?" β
After touching her beautiful belly, Gu Xiang's face was full of surprise, "It's only been a long time!" There you have it. β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, she smiled. "yes, on my honeymoon, you know how excited I was when I knew I was pregnant? I've asked the doctor to check it up, and if nothing else, it should be a boy, but I'm actually a girl I prefer. β
Seeing that when Yuli said this, her face was full of maternal brilliance, and Gu Xiang was very happy for her, "Since this baby is a boy." Then give birth to another baby girl. Anyway, you don't have family planning abroad. β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Fuli nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law." Do you know? Since pregnancy. I found that my memory was getting worse day by day. I wonder if my brain is running out of ideas. β
"Pregnant women are like that, don't think about it, right. How many months have you been with this baby? If you count from the honeymoon, it's three months, and there are still four months! β
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, Yuli stretched out three fingers, "It's three months, in fact, it's three months and ten days, my due date is tomorrow and February, at that time, the weather is cold, and the baby and I can suffer less." β
Hearing Fuli say this, Gu Xiang nodded, "I found that since you became a mother, your whole person has changed, do you feel that your responsibilities are heavier?" β
"Yes, in fact, I'm fine, I found that Des is more nervous about my stomach than me, it's a little windy, he wants to find a doctor, every time there is no big deal, so the doctor is very speechless."
Hearing Fuli complain about herself like this, Dees's face flushed, "Aren't I worried about you." β
Seeing that her husband was embarrassed, she didn't tease him anymore, "By the way, when are you going to get married!" β
Hearing Fuli ask this, Gu Xiang glanced at Shen Tianjue, who was standing beside her and was talking to Desi, before he whispered, "I don't know, besides, I haven't graduated yet, I guess I'll have to wait until after graduation." β
"It's going to take so long, hey, I thought I would be able to drink your wedding wine next year, to be honest, I'm really looking forward to the two of you children, it will be very good, sister-in-law, if you give birth to a girl and my son will be a baby kiss in the future."
Hearing Fuli say this, Gu Xiang really couldn't cry or laugh, "My daughter doesn't have a word, are you thinking too early!" β
"Not early, not early, my daughter-in-law just has to book it early, otherwise when you and your daughter become an adult, what will happen to my son!"
Seeing that the more she spoke, the more excited she became, Gu Xiang hurriedly changed to other topics and said, "Are the children's things ready?" β
"Don't worry, I've been preparing for a long time, and on top of that, I've also set up a super nice bedroom for him."
Seeing that Yuli no longer talked about the topic just now, Gu Xiang really breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." β
After a few people chatted for a while, Grace and Dees separated.
Seeing this, Gu Xiang said with some palpitations, "The pregnant beauty is really getting more and more motherly brilliance." β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Shen Tianjue nodded in agreement, "Yes, but at the same time, I am getting more and more nervous." β
Hearing Shen Tianjue say this, Gu Xiang couldn't help laughing, she knew why Shen Tianjue said this, it was estimated that they had just been listened to by him.
With the help of the waiter, a few people finally found their position, fortunately, they didn't go forward or backward, it was just right, and the vision was good, Gu Xiang was already very satisfied.
After sitting down, Gu Xiang began to observe the surrounding environment, she found that although this hall was very large, there were not many people, basically everyone who came to this banquet was a celebrity lady, and everyone was dressed very decently.
In addition to this, there was a noble lady who had been watching her since she entered the hall.
Seeing this, she really felt a little inexplicable, although she really wanted to ignore Nadao's gaze, but she really couldn't, that lady's gaze was too aggressive.
Just when Gu Xiang deceived himself and told himself that he couldn't see it, the lady came to Gu Xiang's side.
"Hello, this young lady is very eye-catching! Are you from the East? β
Hearing this noble lady say this, Gu Xiang said calmly, "Well, that's right, I am indeed from Huaguo. β
Seeing that Gu Xiang was neither humble nor arrogant, the noble lady continued, "I'm sorry, I was a little too excited just now, that's why I didn't introduce myself, I am Mrs. Catherine of the Dupont family, you can call me Catherine." β
Hearing this noble lady say this, Gu Xiang glanced at Shen Tianjue before saying, "Hello, Lady Catherine, my name is Gu Xiang." The Xie family from Huaguo, this is my fiancΓ©e, and these two are my friends. β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Catherine smiled, "I'm very happy to know you, can I invite you over there to talk alone?" I have a question I don't understand. β
Hearing Catherine say this, Gu Xiang glanced at Shen Tianjue, and after seeing Shen Tianjue nodding, she said to Catherine, "Of course you can." Let's go! β
After the two men came to the edge of the hall. Catherine said to Gu Xiang, "I know the question I asked next was very rude, did you carry any treasures on you?" β
Hearing her ask, Gu Xiang was a little surprised. "Why do you say that? I don't have any other treasures on me! β
Heard Gu Xiang say this. Catherine paused. Only then did he say to Gu Xiang, "Actually, I have an ability, that is, if a person has a treasure on his body." I will find that the person's body is surrounded by a milky white halo, and I found that you have it when you came in. β
Hearing Catherine say this, Gu Xiang was still a little surprised, "Then why do you want to tell me, aren't you afraid that I will go outside and talk everywhere?" β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Catherine smiled, "I dare to tell you, of course I am sure, you will not tell my secret, in fact, I want that treasure is urgent, otherwise I would not stand up and tell you my secret, only that treasure can save my husband." β
"What the hell is wrong with your husband, who needs that thing?"
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, Catherine smiled, "You don't need to know this, as long as you give me that thing, I will give you whatever you want." β
Hearing Catherine say this, Gu Xiang couldn't cry or laugh a little, "The problem is that I don't even know what the treasure you said is, how can I give it to you!" β
"It's simple, after attending the dinner today, you can replace all the things in your body and give them to me, and then I will naturally know which one is a treasure."
Hearing her say this, Gu Xiang nodded, "Okay, then you have to prepare a change of clothes for me." β
"Okay, then the dinner is over, and I'll give you these things from me."
Hearing her say this, Catherine nodded.
After going back, Gu Xiang told Shen Tianjue what had just happened.
After listening to Gu Xiang's words, although Shen Tianjue continued to drink red wine very calmly, his frowning brows betrayed him.
"You say, is what she said true or false?"
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, Shen Tianjue pondered for a moment before saying, "It should be true, Catherine is indeed a key protection object in their family, but I didn't expect it to be because of this." β
"You already knew this?"
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, Shen Tianjue nodded, "I know probably, but I don't know what is going on, since she told you about it, it must be prepared, the banquet is over, just do what she said!" β
Just as Gu Xiang was waiting for the start of the gambling stone conference, he received a text message from Shen Xiao, "Miss, just now your private account was suddenly called in 500 million, do you know about this?" β
After reading Shen Xiao's text message, Gu Xiang was very surprised, but she didn't show it, but transferred the phone to Shen Tianjue.
After reading the text message, Shen Tianjue glanced at the direction where Catherine was before saying to Gu Xiang, "It should be the payment given to you by the Dupont family, it seems that they are very eager to get that thing!" β
Seeing that Shen Tianjue didn't say anything, Gu Xiang didn't ask in detail.
With the beginning of the gambling stone conference, Gu Xiang finally met the leaders of the nine chaebols, except for three young people, the other six people were all old men who were about to enter the earth.
The opening ceremony of the Gambling Stone Conference was long and boring, to be honest, Gu Xiang was drowsy during the whole process, but when she thought of this scene, she woke up again, Zhang Yue's state was not much better than Gu Xiang.
After the end, Gu Xiang came to a lounge accompanied by Zhang Yue, and after a while, Catherine's people brought Gu Xiang clothes.
After changing his clothes, Zhang Yue kept looking at those diamond jewelry and regretted, "It's a pity that I can never bring such good jewelry after bringing it once." β
Hearing Zhang Yue say this, Gu Xiang, who was dressed, smiled, "If you like it, I'll buy you an identical set, how about it?" β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Zhang Yue waved his hand again and again, "I'm just talking, don't take it seriously!" β
Hearing Zhang Yue say this, Gu Xiang smiled, although he didn't say anything, Gu Xiang remembered it in his heart.
After handing over the things to the people sent by Catherine, Gu Xiang took Shen Tianjue's hand and returned to the hotel.
Before Gu Xiang could take a rest, Chen Cuilan and Xie Lao came to Gu Xiang's room.
"Miss, my son and daughter-in-law have been locked up for a day, shouldn't they be released!"
Hearing Chen Cuilan say this, Xie Lao, who was standing on the side, also echoed, "Ah Xiang, they have to be locked up for a day, hurry up and release the people!" β
Seeing that his grandfather had been looking at him, Gu Xiang said with a smile, "Okay, then let's go and release them!" β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Chen Cuilan was obviously relieved.
Seeing that his grandfather's eyes were always on other people's bodies, Gu Xiang had to sigh, "The ancients Zeng Yun, beauty misled the country, and he really didn't deceive me!" β
The group came downstairs and finally saw Chen Cuilan's son and daughter-in-law who had been tied up all afternoon.
After letting them loosen their ties, Gu Xiangcai asked them, "Do you still want to ask your mother for money?" Do you still beat your mother?"
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, her son shook his head weakly, "No, never again." β
Hearing him say this, Chen Cuilan cried even more sadly, and after letting her son and daughter-in-law take away, Gu Xiang asked her grandfather to leave before she said to Chen Cuilan, "Mother-in-law, I believe you are so smart, you should have understood what my grandfather meant!" In fact, I have never blocked what kind of person my grandfather is looking for, and the most important thing is to find someone my grandfather likes, and now it seems that you are exactly the person my grandfather likes, I don't know what you mean? β
Hearing Gu Xiang ask, Chen Cuilan's face flushed, "I have so many oil bottles at home, I am not worthy of your grandfather!" You have also seen what my son is like, if he really becomes with your grandfather, he will be at your Xie family every day, eating and drinking. β
Hearing Chen Cuilan say this, Gu Xiang smiled, "Mother-in-law, it turns out that you are worried about this, don't worry, your son is not a problem at all, I only ask you to be sincere to my grandfather for a long time, our Xie family has a big business, and it is not a problem to raise a person to eat." β
Hearing Gu Xiang say this, Chen Cuilan sighed, "I know, your family is a good person, but I can't rely on you without shame, you may not know how powerful my son is, he is really a loser!" If you go to the casino, you can lose a million in one night, even if your Xie family has a big business, you can't bear him so much! (To be continued......)
