Chapter 132: Charity Gala
Three years ago, the Gu Group held a charity auction every year, one was to expand its network and build momentum for the Gu Group, and the other was to brazenly show off the rights and financial resources of the Gu Group and the four major families behind it.
The charity party of that year used to be a place where all celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities were scrambling to squeeze in, Gu Zihan and Gu Guosheng's connections were almost all over all industries and occupations, but at the first time after the Gu family's accident, those who used to call the Gu family brothers and sisters for fame chose not to talk about it, and some people even said directly in front of reporters that they were not familiar with the people of the Gu family.
Seeing the gradual decline of the four major families, the Y-ing Group organized a new charity auction party, I don't know if Gu Xiu did it on purpose, the people he invited were the people who deliberately bullied him in order to please Gu Zihan, those guests were afraid of Gu Xiu and the status of the Y-ing Group and did not dare not come, but when they saw with their own eyes the achievements and status that Gu Xiu had obtained now, they couldn't help but sigh.
A person's ability will definitely not be buried because of the environment and encounters he is in, what Gu Xiu lacked back then was just an opportunity, when the opportunity comes, he will seize it and shine, just like now.
Another year's charity auction party, held in the Dige Hotel, the national celebrity superstar almost tore his face for an invitation, all those who can be invited to the party are famous people in all walks of life, Gu Xiu has chartered the entire Dige Hotel, and all the rooms are reserved for guests from afar.
The banquet hall was resplendent in gold, and Gu Xiu waved his hand, whether it was the flowers airlifted or the handmade carpets, or the chandeliers inlaid with diamonds, or even the red wine shipped from the French manor, the luxury made everyone envious.
Xu Zhiyan stood in the middle of the crowd in a dress, there were already rumors in the outside world that she had a great relationship with Gu Xiu, and everyone who wanted to have a relationship with Gu Xiu came to toast, Xu Zhiyan politely refused, her eyes kept looking at the second floor, waiting for Gu Xiu to appear.
Zhong Qing, who had hesitated outside for a long time, finally mustered up the courage to walk into the banquet hall, God bless that there are no reporters here, and no one will pay attention to her dressed in such an ordinary way. didn't want to be the center of everyone's attention, Zhong Qing just wanted to get a license to participate in the auction, and use the money borrowed from Zhou Han to auction the necklace, and she would leave.
"Xiaoqing!"
Zhou Han, who was not far away, waved his hand at Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing walked over and found that Zhou Qingyu was also there.
"Welcome home." Zhou Qingyu handed Zhong Qing a glass of champagne, and the latter took it and clinked glasses with Zhou Qingyu.
"Why are you all here?" Zhong Qing is a little strange, now the relationship between Gu Xiu and the four major families is in the midst of a confrontation, the Gu family has been forced into bankruptcy by him, and the Zhong Group is also in danger, at this juncture, how could Grandma Zhou agree to Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Han to attend the banquet held by Gu Xiu?
"Gu Xiu has always respected his grandmother, in fact, Y-ing Group has bypassed all things related to the Zhou family's industry." Zhou Han explained: "Now it is said that Gu Xiu and the four major families are incompatible, but the only ones who made Gu Xiu really move their wrists are the Gu family and the Zhong family, our Zhou family and Gu Xiu's well water does not interfere with the river water, as for the Xu family...... After something like that happened three years ago, they broke with the people of the four major families. ”
What happened in the past has nothing to do with the Zhou family, but Zhou Han still thinks about it, but he is embarrassed, the four major families who have been friends from generation to generation since their ancestors have become like this, it is really a pity.
"Also, I'm here today to help you take a picture of the necklace." Zhou Han said: "My brother said that the money lent to you may not be enough, so the two of us got together again, and we will definitely help you get the necklace." ”
Zhong Qing took Zhou Han's hand, grateful and didn't know what to say.
"Thank you, thank you, Brother Zhou, I will definitely pay back this money as soon as possible."
"Where are you talking about, we are friends, and we have to help each other when we are in trouble." Zhou Han said: "Now that the Zhongshi Group has a problem, the two of us don't have that much ability to turn the tide, but at least in this matter, we can help you." ”
Zhou Qingyu said: "If you feel uneasy, we can help you auction, after all, ......" He didn't continue, Zhong Qing already understood what Zhou Qingyu wanted to express, he was worried that he would feel embarrassed when he saw Gu Xiu, so he reminded himself.
But taking pictures of this necklace is what Zhong Qing has always wanted to do, although when she received the invitation from Wei Lan, Zhong Qing knew that this might be Gu Xiu's intention, but she didn't have a choice.
"It's fine." Zhong Qing said: "I can do it." ”
At this time, the door of the banquet hall was opened, and Fang Zuo pushed Xu Ruo in, and someone present recognized Xu Ruo at a glance, and then saw him in a wheelchair being pushed by his subordinates, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Thinking that Xu Ruo was the dragon and phoenix in the world, as the future heir of the Inge Hotel, he and Xu Zhiyan took over Xu Jie to manage the hotel in an orderly manner, but suddenly he disappeared, and then Xu Jie and the Gu family broke up, and the outside world has been speculating for a long time, whether it is because Xu Ruo and Gu Zihan have a holiday, the two families will become like this.
Now when they saw with their own eyes that Xu Ruo had become a disabled person in a wheelchair, they couldn't help but think of what happened back then, no one dared to ask more, but they all knew that if Xu Ruo became like this, the Gu family would definitely not be able to get out of the relationship.
Xu Zhiyan frowned slightly when he saw Xu Ruo coming in, his father had been sending people to protect Xu Ruo during this time, but he didn't want anyone else to see Xu Ruo rumors like this again, but Xu Ruo appeared in front of everyone so openly, without hiding the fact that he couldn't stand up at all.
"Why did you get out?" Xu Zhiyan asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you should not go around during this time?" Here are the editors of the magazine, in case they ......"
Xu Ruo patted Xu Zhiyan's hand and said, "Don't worry, sister, I know it in my heart." ”
Xu Zhiyan noticed the tentative gaze of the people around her, she took the initiative to push Xu Ruo's wheelchair, and Fang Zuo stood beside her, like a loyal guard.
Seeing Zhong Qing, Xu Ruo wanted to go over, but Xu Zhiyan pressed the wheelchair and did not allow Xu Ruo to approach Zhong Qing.
"Is that person the eldest daughter of the Zhong family?"
"That Zhong Qing? Hasn't she been missing for a long time? How did it end up here? ”
"I heard that she was with Mr. Gu before, but she was too disgusted with the poor and loved the rich, and she disliked Mr. Gu for having no money, so she left Mr. Gu when he was in the most difficult time."
"You said that Xu Ruo disappeared and Zhong Qing also disappeared back then, these two people will not ......"
There was a lot of discussion among the people around, Zhong Qing drank two glasses of champagne in a row, but he couldn't calm himself down, and at the same time that Xu Ruo instructed Fang Zuo to push himself over, Gu Xiu slowly walked down the stairs.
The owner of the auction appeared, and everyone's attention shifted to him, and no one speculated about the relationship between Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo.
Gu Xiu walked through the crowd and stood in front of Xu Ruo and Zhong Qing, the latter's hand holding the champagne trembled a little, Xu Ruo looked up at Gu Xiu and frowned unconsciously.
"I heard that Mr. Xu was injured some time ago and hasn't shown up, what's the matter, and now he's recovering better?" Gu Xiu asked Xu Ruo directly in front of everyone.
Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to listen to Xu Ruo's explanation, but Xu Ruo nodded calmly, without any intention to hide it at all.
"I broke my leg three years ago, and now I can't stand up, and there is no good way to recover." As soon as Xu Ruo's words fell, everyone present gasped.
Xu Zhiyan could already predict that the door of his house would be surrounded by reporters tomorrow, Zhong Qing looked at Gu Xiu, who exposed Xu Ruo's scar in public, and her mood was very complicated.
"Xu Ruo." Zhong Qing said: "I'll push you over there." ”
As soon as Xu Ruo wanted to nod, Gu Xiu reached out and pressed Xu Ruo's wheelchair, he looked at Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo with a smile, Zhong Qing saw that smile, and unconsciously shuddered.
"I know a doctor in this area, why don't you let him take care of it?"
"Three years ago, the most authoritative doctor in neurology had diagnosed my leg, and it couldn't be cured." Xu Ruo replied to Gu Xiu's words with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Gu for your kindness, I came to the auction today on behalf of my father, and I want to contribute a little to domestic charity." ”
Gu Xiu smiled, he glanced at Xu Ruo's legs, and said meaningfully, "Is there really no need for treatment?" I don't think the muscles in Mr. Xu's two legs have atrophied, so he should have had rehabilitation activities in the past three years, right? Otherwise, how can it remain similar to ordinary people? ”
Xu Ruo instantly understood what Gu Xiu meant, and his eyes on Gu Xiu, what the latter wanted to express couldn't be more obvious.
"What is Mr. Gu suspecting?" Xu Ruodao: "Isn't it enough for me to lose my two legs for three years, do you have to let me prove that I am disabled in front of so many people to be satisfied?" ”
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Gu Xiu was so aggressive just now, which was a little hurtful. Xu Ruo pinched the armrest of the wheelchair, his fingertips turned white, he wasn't sure how much Gu Xiu knew, but only the three of them knew about the fact that he had been able to stand up a long time ago.
Xu Ruo thought that he had done a good job of secrecy, and Gu Xiu would never know about it.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but speak: "Gu Xiu, Xu Ruo is my own brother, can you give me some face and don't say it so ugly?" ”
Gu Xiu didn't even look at Xu Zhiyan, since Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo left three years ago, Xu Zhiyan always went to Gu Xiu's apartment, even if she knew that Gu Xiu didn't go back to live there, she would often find time to go over to clean up.
Xu Zhiyan was already enchanted, but now Gu Xiu was too lazy to pay attention to her, and he didn't even politely refuse, so he just closed the door and disappeared.
So when it comes to face, why did she ask Gu Xiu to give her face?
"Xiaoqing, let's go first." Xu Ruo said to Zhong Qing behind him: "It seems that Mr. Gu is not very welcoming to us, and there is no need for us to stay here." ”
