Chapter 373: Confession Banquet
Gu Qiming and Gu Nan didn't react, Old Lady Gu looked at them with their sight, it turned out that the two of them were attracted by the news on TV just now.
"You two, do you hear that?" Old Mrs. Gu was displeased, and raised her voice again and said again, "Ai Ai is here, what are you watching the news of this Laoshizi, don't scare her, and she has a tire gas again." β
"Mom, I know, I'm watching the news, and it just happened to broadcast this." Gu Qiming hurriedly explained, picked up the remote control next to him and turned off the TV.
"Grandma, I hear you. Advance the confession banquet, just these two days, this matter is wrapped up in me. Gu Nan smiled and coaxed the old lady Gu.
"Grandma, how can I be so squeamish-" Qiao Ai's voice dragged on, and she looked at the old lady Gu who almost wanted to take her as the center of gravity of the family, and the corners of her eyes were unconsciously moistened......
Time flies like a white horseββ
No wonder Gu Qiming was so relieved to hand over all the power of the Gu family to Gu Nan, his efficiency in doing things was really impressive.
In such a hurry, being able to perfectly hold such a huge recognition banquet shows Gu Nan's ability.
Gu Nan handled all kinds of things, and they were all handled properly and properly.
Even Zhou Chengyan, who has always been picky, raised his eyebrows and expressed his approval, "Not bad." I'm still satisfied with the specifications of this banquet. β
As soon as the two of them entered, although Zhou Chengyan did not squint, everything in the venue was under his nose and could be seen at a glance.
In Zhou Chengyan's heart, such a banquet can be regarded as some compensation for the grievances suffered by Qiao Ai.
"Actually, I don't think it's going to be so troublesome."
Because everyone stood on their sides, staring at their pair, Qiao Ai maintained a dignified and elegant smile on his face, and spoke in a voice that only two people could hear.
"This is what the Gu family should do, don't bother." Zhou Chengyan took it for granted.
With only a faint glance, Zhou Chengyan had a bottom in his heart.
Indeed, as Mrs. Gu said, basically all the people with heads and faces in City B have arrived.
Zhou Chengyan nodded slightly in appreciation.
Unexpectedly, his action, in the eyes of those men and women, thought that he was greeting them, and suddenly the crowd burst into exclamations.
Everyone eagerly brushed their presence in front of Zhou Chengyan's eyes, and nodded their heads in response.
When Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai stood in front of the banquet table, the Gu family, who were all dressed up today, gathered around them.
Mrs. Gu stood in the middle and spoke as the host:
"Distinguished guests, good evening.
Today's banquet, as everyone must have known, is that our Gu family has found their long-lost granddaughter Qiao Ai, and specially held a confession meeting for her, so that she can officially recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.
Ai Ai now lives in City A, and at a young age, she is already at the helm of Qiao's, a well-known jewelry company in City A.
This time, she came to City B to participate in an international jewelry competition, and we were fortunate to be recognized.
With God's favor, Ai Ai relied on his own efforts to win impressive results in a large-scale international competition, and will soon go to the finals. β
When Old Lady Gu said this, the applause of the crowd below suddenly rang out.
"It's really young and promising."
"Well, the Gu family is full of talents." Love to nibble on books
β¦β¦
Listening to people's praise, Mrs. Gu smiled even more, "I hope that in the future, no matter in the business world or anywhere, you can take care of Ai Ai Duojia." We must be grateful. β
The latter passage is naturally Mrs. Gu's modest words.
Not to mention that with the power of her Gu family, Qiao Ai doesn't need other people's care in City B; is that Qiao Ai herself has the mountain of Zhou Chengyan behind her, and it is all because others are eager to climb her big tree to enjoy the shade.
No, as soon as the opening remarks ended, everyone rushed forward, waiting for Mrs. Gu to introduce her.
Mrs. Gu introduced all the VIPs present to Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai one by one, whether it was in the political or business circles, which undoubtedly opened up all the contacts between the two of them in City B.
Since Mrs. Gu stepped back into the second line, she had never stayed in such a lively occasion for so long.
Afraid that she would be tired, after the whole circle came down, Gu Qiming hurriedly arranged for a subordinate to help her go to rest first.
After sending Mrs. Gu away, Gu Qiming introduced Gu Nan's mother, who had just gotten off the plane and arrived before the banquet began, to Qiao Ai and Zhou Chengyan.
"Ai Ai, come to meet your aunt, because the time is tight, she came back in a hurry, and I didn't have time to let you meet in advance."
Lin Wanyi, Gu Qiming's wife, thought that she was also a young lady from a big family in City B back then.
From the fact that her current demeanor is still outstanding, it can be seen that she was also a great beauty back then.
Qiao Ai took the initiative to stretch out her hands, pulled Lin Wanyi, and shouted generously, "Auntie." β
Lin Wanyi smiled and looked at Qiao Ai carefully from top to bottom, her voice was as gentle as water, "It's good to be back." β
After a few cold words, Lin Wanyi accompanied Mrs. Gu to the sofa on the side to rest.
Zhou Chengyan was also afraid that Qiao Ai would be tired, so he hugged her to find a secluded place and sat down, and then went to pour her a cup of hot water.
Gu Qiming first accompanied Qiao Ai to chat there.
"Ai Ai, I don't know why, as long as I see you at the banquet, I think of your mother back then.
Your mother was a young man at the time, and she loved this kind of lively scene. β
Looking at Qiao Ai, who looked like Xiaoyou, Gu Qiming seemed to have returned to the past, when Xiaoyou often followed his ass with a brother and asked him to take it to various banquets.
"Really? I didn't expect my mom to be so lively at that time. β
Being able to talk to her uncle about her mother's youth made Qiao Ai's eyes full of curiosity.
"Yes. She met her crush at a banquet, and the two families were equal at that time, and the two of them were also a man and a woman, and both families were very satisfied. It's already to the point of talking about marriage, and everyone is happy-
I never thought that your mother would suddenly run away from home and disappear from there.
Your grandparents said it was because of a quarrel between them, but your mother is kind and filial by nature, and it is impossible for her to leave home because of this incident.
To be honest, I still don't understand, I always feel that there is something else hidden, but it's a pity that now-"
After a sigh, Gu Qiming stopped talking, his relatives were gone, and the answer seemed to never be revealed.
Gu Qiming's words caused Qiao Ai's heart to tremble slightly, if it wasn't for the quarrel with her grandparents, why did her mother do such a decisive thing?
Joey's heart sank again.
In the distance, Lin Wanyi happened to look back and saw Qiao Ai in contemplation, with a touch of unclear emotion in her eyes......
