Zhou, in Zhou Chengyan's office. Zhou Chengyan lay on his back in his huge boss swivel chair, spinning around at will.

His dark eyes looked thoughtfully at the ceiling for a while, and then at the two delicate invitations in his hands, his eyes narrowing slightly.

As soon as he got to work, Xia Yi handed him these two invitations with a strange look,

"Zhou Shao, someone said that the old lady of the Gu family specially invited you and Mrs. to attend their banquet tonight." As the saying goes: three days for please, two days for calling, and one day for lifting.

Generally, those who invite people to the banquet are invited to the banquet at least three days in advance to show respect. As early as when he first came to City B, Zhou Chengyan had already arranged for Xia Yi to investigate the personality traits of the Gu family.

For Mrs. Gu's personality, except that she dotes on her granddaughter Gu Youyou too much, so much so that she spoils Gu Youyou willfully and arbitrarily, her reputation in the outside world has always been good.

Supposedly, she shouldn't have been unaware of this number. And now he doesn't play cards according to the rules, for two reasons: either he ignores them, doesn't take Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai seriously, and deliberately despises them; Either they are in a hurry and ignore this matter.

The Gu family has always sought cooperation with the Zhou family, ignoring him? It's impossible. Then there is only one possibility...... Thinking of this, Zhou Chengyan gently hooked the corners of his lips, picked up his mobile phone and called Qiao Ai,

"Honey, get ready, I'll pick you up in a while, and we'll go buy evening dresses together." …… Hilton Grand Hotel in City B.

Gu Nan's father, Gu Qiming, is away all the year round, and he usually comes back once in a long time, and every time he comes back, the family will hold a banquet, one is to catch him and wash the dust; The second is to take this opportunity to exchange feelings with new and old friends of the Gu family.

Many of Gu's old friends came to the hotel early, surrounded Gu Qiming, who had not met for a long time, in the middle, pushed cups and exchanged lamps with him, and chatted happily.

And Gu Youyou was hiding in an inconspicuous place, his eyes kept looking in the direction of the door, anxiously waiting for something.

When Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai appeared elegantly at the door of the banquet hall, Gu Youyou's eyes lit up instantly.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, an expression of wanting to watch a good show appeared on her face, and silently sent a message on her mobile phone: They are here, and they will see you in a while.

In order to participate in the Gu family's banquet, Zhou Chengyan specially took Qiao Ai to customize a set of generous and decent dresses that were worth a lot of money.

This dress is different from the usual evening dress, but sets off Qiao Ai more youthful and cute.

Qiao Ai took Zhou Chengyan's arm and slowly walked into the banquet hall, and her mood unconsciously fluctuated.

It's hard to explain, when she learned that she was going to attend Gu's banquet with Zhou Chengyan, her emotions became excited for no reason.

Why? Is it because his mother is also surnamed Gu? Qiao Ai silently shook her head in her heart, she wanted to find out her mother's background so much, she was a little stunned.

The man next to her seemed to sense her strangeness, and asked softly, "What?" Nervous? Qiao Ai looked sideways at Zhou Chengyan with a concerned gaze, and smiled,

"It's alright."

"Brother Zhou!" Suddenly, an uninvited sound came out of thin air, and when both of them heard this call, they both frowned in unison.

When he turned around, Gu Youyou was already close to the two of them. I don't know what Gu Youyou did on her originally good face, probably to cover the scars and apply several thick layers of foundation, so that as soon as she has a slight facial movement, the powder will fall off.

"Miss Gu, long time no see." Zhou Chengyan heard that

After "Brother Zhou", Qiao Ai could feel the cold air emanating from her body, after all, it was the home of the Gu family, in order not to make Gu Youyou too embarrassed, she took the initiative to say hello to Gu Youyou regardless of her previous suspicions.

Who knew that people didn't appreciate it at all, turned a deaf ear to her kindness, and directly treated her as air, still looking at Zhou Chengyan with an infatuated face, and the light emitted in his eyes was equivalent to a large light bulb of several hundred watts.

"Brother Zhou, I'm really glad you can come to our Gu family's banquet. This is your first time here, come, let me lead you around, and introduce you to my family and the celebrities in our city B. As he spoke, he stepped forward to grab Zhou Chengyan's hand.

Just when Zhou Chengyan frowned angrily and wanted to unceremoniously pat away the salty pig hand handed over by Gu Youyou, suddenly a gentle voice sounded, distracting their attention and avoiding the embarrassment below,

"It seems that this is the prestigious Zhou Chengyan Zhou less." Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Aiqi looked at the comers.

Qiao Ai didn't know her, but she had basically guessed the identity of this kind old lady, and Zhou Chengyan had seen the information of the Gu family, so she was naturally not unfamiliar.

The person who spoke was none other than Mrs. Gu. Qiao Ai just wanted to say hello, but the old lady Gu spoke again immediately, with a slight mockery in her equally gentle voice,

"Our Gu family's banquet has been going on for a long time, and the two of you are really late." Although Old Lady Gu's words did not carry a gun or a stick, she also implied that Zhou Chengyan and Qiao Ai had no concept of time.

Moreover, although Old Lady Gu said it in her mouth

"Two", but her eyes were always fixed on Zhou Chengyan's body, and she didn't glance at Qiao Ai.

Qiao Ai was indifferent, presumably she and Gu Youyou's holiday, Mrs. Gu also knew a little bit about it, and her ancestors and grandchildren were united, and she had nothing to complain about, so she planned not to speak again, but just kept a polite and elegant smile by Zhou Chengyan's side.

After all, he is an elder, and it is very likely that he has some kind of relationship with Qiao Ai, so even if Mrs. Gu's words are a little ridiculous, Zhou Chengyan doesn't plan to care, but the matter still has to be explained.

"Then this person in front of me must be the respected old lady Gu." Old Lady Gu smiled silently and nodded slightly.

"Don't be surprised. Ai Ai and I came late, and there was a reason for it. One is because we received the invitation late-" In the latter sentence, Zhou Chengyan deliberately delayed the end of the sentence, and then paused before continuing,

"I just received it this morning; Second, because our husband and wife attach great importance to Mrs. Gu's warm invitation, especially my wife Qiao Ai, who was even more excited after hearing about receiving your invitation, she deliberately put aside the preparations for the design competition first, and I specially customized the dress to show respect for you and the Gu family. In this hurry, we changed our clothes from the dress shop and went straight to the hotel, but it was still a little late. ”
