Gu Zhun was in a very complicated mood when he left his mother's room, Qin Yilan's words first shocked him, and then became hesitant and confused.

He didn't care if Ding Xiu would rob the family property in the future, but his mother's sentence "Inheritance is on him, not on you" shattered the barrier in his heart to protect his brother's feelings.

Yes, the power of the war paint belongs to Ding Xiu, which is the inheritance that Grells has given to the Gu family.

The Gu family has a big business, Gu Zhun has always regretted that he has no brothers and sisters to shoulder the mission of the family together, and when he knew that he suddenly had an older brother, he was overjoyed in his heart.

However, Qin Yilan's words also cruelly told him a possibility, that is, Ding Xiu's existence has indeed threatened the status and living space of their mother and son in the family.

"You go back and think about it, and come back to me when you figure it out."

This was the last sentence that Qin Yilan threw to Gu Zhun, and after Gu Zhun left, she went straight to her parents' room.

Ding Xiu...... It's the girl of the Chen family who has a crush on her?! Qin Ruoyun and Luo Xin were shocked when they heard the news brought by their daughter.

"I've already made it clear to Ah Zhun about the stakes, but looking at his appearance, I still don't want to give up brotherhood in my heart."

"Alas, this kid is just too kind-hearted, he treats Ding Xiu as a brother, but Ding Xiu doesn't necessarily treat him as a brother. And Ding Xiu actually likes the girl of the Chen family, is he worthy? Luo Xin looked indignant, Chen Jianing was originally the object of her grandson Gu Zhun's fancy, but now when she saw that Ding Xiu wanted to cut off her beard, she was angry.

Qin Ruoyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said, "You must not let Ding Xiu marry a family force with a military background, especially the Eastern Military Region, otherwise there will be endless troubles." ”

"That's right, it looks like you have to prepare early." Qin Yilan nodded.

"The Gu family and the Chen family have a lot of friendship, you must know that in this way, you should let Ah Zhun and the girl of the Chen family cultivate a relationship earlier...... Alas, isn't it too late? Luo Xin sighed, feeling a little depressed, Qin Yilan saw this and hurriedly helped her rub her chest.

"It's not too late, let's act on the occasion." Qin Ruoyun couldn't think of any good way for the time being, so he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and began to comfort his wife and daughter.

The time for the Gu family to hold a recognition banquet finally came, and Gu Annan invited Chen Bin and Cai Wenyue that day, one of whom served in the prime minister's cabinet, and the other was the minister of national security.

Both of them are old acquaintances of Gu Annan, and as early as forty years ago, everyone fought side by side on Chongming Island.

It is a well-known fact that Chen Bin recommended Ding Xiu to enter Brilliant Academy, and Ding Xiu lived in the Chen family for a period of time after coming to Brilliant City.

Cai Wenyue is the minister of national security, and his daughter Cai Ji saved Ding Xiu's life in the Western Desert.

Gu Annan invited them over, first, to reminisce about the old days to show respect; On the other hand, I would like to thank them and hope that they will take more care of Ding Xiu in the future.

There was no extravagant pomp and circumstance at this family banquet, but the attendees, except for the Gu family's own people, were all distinguished guests.

A long mahogany table was placed in the hall, and after Gu Annan asked the servants to serve the carefully cooked dishes, he formally invited everyone to the table.

The first to sit down were the two old men of the Qin family, they were the Gu family's in-laws, and in this family banquet, in addition to the identity of the in-laws, they also represented the North Courtyard.

The marriage between Qin and Gu is the foundation for the two courts to work together, so Gu Annan gave the Qin family enough face, and took care of Qin Yilan and Luo Xin at home.

Then Cai Wenyue and Chen Bin took their seats, and when the two old partners sat down, Gu Annan and his wife Shen Ying sat down together.

After that, Gu Sijin and Qin Yilan and his wife took their seats, and then there were the two juniors in the family - Ding Xiu and Gu Zhun.

Ding Xiu didn't sit down with Gu Zhun, he looked at his seat, walked over and just moved the chair to the side, and then moved an empty seat next to him.

"Ding Xiu, are there any more guests?" Gu Sijin asked at him.

Ding Xiu nodded and shook his head again.

"Why do you need to have more seats?" Qin Yilan was also a little curious.

"Although my mother is gone, I want to reserve a place for her at this family dinner. I heard her father say that she had never been to the Gu family, had she? ”

As soon as Ding Xiu's words came out, the faces of several people at the table changed.

"Nonsense, this is a family banquet, do you still want the dead to be on the table?" Luo Xin's face was a little worried.

"Since I have a place in the family, I think it is natural that my mother should also have a place, otherwise, what is she to this family? What am I? Ding Xiu asked rhetorically.

He didn't mean to contradict it, but the old man's phrase "the dead are on the table" pierced his heart deeply.

Ding Xiu had never seen his mother, and he knew that his mother had never been here, and after he looked back at his home, his greatest hope was to be able to reunite with the family.

Even if her mother is dead, at least she can be given a place on an occasion like today.

This is the biggest expectation in Ding Xiu's heart, but he doesn't know that this wish of his has actually touched the scales of some people.

"If there is your mother's seat at the table, where shall I sit?" Qin Yilan's face was red and white for a while, and she felt that Ding Xiu was taking the opportunity to provoke herself and prepare for her authority at home in the future.

"You sit with your father, and your mother sits with me." Ding Xiu said sincerely.

"Old Gu, this is not appropriate." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Qin Ruoyun stood up to play a round.

Chen Bin and Cai Wenyue were not easy to interject at this time, after all, this was a family matter of the Gu family, and the two did not expect Ding Xiu to have such a plan.

"Grandson, be obedient, I'll talk about your mother's affairs later, okay?" Shen Ying loves Ding Xiu, but this does not mean that she is willing to accept Ding Ruoli. She appeased Ding Xiu, wanting to calm things down, so as not to hurt the harmony with her in-laws.

"You recognize me, but you do not recognize my mother...... What is this? Ding Xiu didn't expect that his small wish would be opposed by everyone, and he lowered his head sadly for a while.

"That's enough." Qin Yilan stood up, her face full of anger, and she left the table without looking back.

"Yilan, Yilan......" Qin Ruoyun and Luo Xin also got up and chased out.

"Old Gu ......" Chen Bin and Cai Wenyue looked at this scene, a little embarrassed.

"Alas~" Gu Annan sighed, and his originally happy mood also fell to the bottom.

"Borrow a step to speak." Cai Wenyue walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hmm." Gu Anan nodded, and then the three old men went to the study of the other courtyard together.

The seats in the room were dispersed before they opened, and only Gu Sijin's father and son were left at the table.

"Ah Zhun, you go back to the house first." Gu Sijin said, "Ding Xiu, you come with me." ”

Ding Xiu followed his father to another room, he was sad and a little worried.

"Am I doing something wrong, father?"

"You're right, it's my father's fault. You've just done one thing I've wanted to do for so many years but didn't dare to do! ”
