Next.

The weather was fine.

The spring sun is shining.

The ancestral home of the Gu family is a lively and festive scene.

The maids were busy early in the morning, arranging everything they needed for the engagement reception in the evening.

The entrance of the ancestral house.

There is an endless stream of luxury cars of all kinds.

After receiving the invitation, the wealthy families of the entire capital rushed to the Gu family's ancestral house as guests.

This engagement banquet for the heirs of the Gu family is not trivial.

At first, everyone only thought that Gu Qian had married a female artist in the entertainment industry, but many people still disdained it and didn't take it too seriously.

But with the Jiang family's announcement of Jiang Li's true identity.

The original female artist in the entertainment industry has become the second lady who has been missing for many years in the Jiang family.

The engagement banquet also became the marriage of the Gu family and the Jiang family.

The combination of two of the four worlds is of great significance to the situation in the entire capital.

"I heard that Teacher Jiang Li is actually the second lady of the Jiang family?"

"Really?"

"Really, the Jiang family has been made public, and Jiang Mingyi Jiang also expressed his position to identify Jiang Li's identity."

“……”

The guests were talking.

Most people still have great doubts about Jiang Li's identity as the second lady of the Jiang family.

This time I came to the engagement banquet of the two families, in fact, there was also a temptation in it.

The entrance to the mansion.

The uncles of the second and third rooms greeted the guests at the door.

The old man of the two branches sat in the lobby.

Only Gu Qian and his father, who had been hospitalized for a long time, were still alive, and the scene of the engagement banquet could naturally only be managed by these old guys.

"Hasn't Qian'er come yet?"

Han Wenru glanced around.

Gu Qian grew up in the Jin family since she was a child, and as half of the "mother", she was also busy managing the engagement banquet.

Jin Shenhan was chatting with some friends who were present.

He is now in a state of semi-retreat, no longer working hard to control the authority of the family as before, and more began to delegate power to Jin Lanting to handle affairs.

"Went to the hospital."

"Your eldest brother is sick?"

Han Wenru looked at Gu Yao and asked with some surprise, her relationship with this second young master of the Gu family was relatively ordinary.

But it's already the elder of the other party.

Gu Yao shook his head slightly, and his tone was indifferent: "Sanatorium." ”

Three words.

As soon as Han Wenru said it, he understood the meaning and did not continue to ask.

Not much.

The Jiang family also arrived.

Jiang Fu took Qi Wenjun, Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingxuan, and the four of them appeared together in the Gu family's ancestral house, which can be regarded as a member of the mother's family to attend the engagement banquet.

"Wenjun, come on, come on, I'm going to be busy to death."

Han Wenru looked at Qi Wenjun and urged, with a little complaint in her tone: "Your daughter's engagement banquet, why don't you care about it at all." ”

"It's coming, it's coming."

Qi Wenjun also immediately came over.

She dressed up at home early in the morning, and if it weren't for Jiang Fu and her two sons who kept urging, it was estimated that she would have come even later.

The relationship between the Jiang family and the Jin family is not very good.

However, the relationship between the two ladies is still good, and now that there is a relationship between Gu Qian and Jiang Li, it is naturally a bit of sisterhood.

But.

Jiang Fu and Jin Shenhan glanced at each other, and each snorted coldly, still looking at each other with disgust.

——

——

The other side.

The black Rolls-Royce drove on the elevated road in the capital, but the destination was not the ancestral home of the Gu family.

Gu Qian and Jiang Li sat in the back seat.

Jiang Li had delicate makeup painted on her face and was wearing a dignified and elegant cheongsam.

Gu Qian is also wearing a customized black suit.

The two dressed up to attend.

Gu Qian held Jiang Li's hand the whole time, and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you nervous?" ”

"It's fine."

"My dad is in a nursing home, his condition has not improved, and there should be no way for us to visit."

"That ......"

"Let's just go and have a look, there is still an engagement banquet waiting in the ancestral house."

"Okay."

Jiang Li tightened her grip on Gu Qian's hand.

She could feel the sadness on Gu Qian's body, the kind of sadness that was deliberately concealed and unwilling to let herself be aware.

In this world.

Gu Qian's only relatives are actually only his father and younger brother.

My father was sick and stayed in a sanatorium, saying that he was recuperating, but in fact, he was relying on expensive equipment and drugs to hang his life.

Because of the "heir competition" of the younger brother, the relationship between the two brothers has not been good.

She had experienced this feeling of being unaccompanied in the Blue Sky Welfare Institute, so she could understand Gu Qian's sadness.

The black Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the nursing home.

It is a private sanatorium, built at the expense of the Gu family, which absorbs the best doctors and medical equipment in the world.

Patient...... There is only one.

Enter a nursing home.

The somewhat bald dean walked out slowly, looked at Gu Qian and said respectfully, "Young Master, Young Madam." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Qian bowed slightly, and asked in a calm tone: "I brought my wife over to see my father, how is my father's condition now, is there any improvement?" ”

The question is asked.

But Gu Qian seemed to have already known the answer in his heart.

The dean shook his head slightly, and his voice was a little helpless: "The Gu family master's body is already at the end of its strength, and all we can do is to maintain the status quo and try our best not to let the condition continue to deteriorate." ”

"Well, what about visitation?"

"This ...... can only be separated from the recuperation cabin, the Gu family master's current mind is often out of confusion, and it is probably not possible to visit from a quiet distance. ”

"Take us to see it."

Gu Qian's tone was calm throughout the whole process, and he was not surprised by the dean's answer.

The two followed the dean and walked all the way to the ward.

It's not so much a hospital room as a huge capsule.

Jiang Li looked at everything in the recuperation cabin.

All kinds of medical instruments and equipment that have never been seen before, more than ten electronic screens have various curves moving around, monitoring the patient's body data.

A middle-aged man lies in a convalescent cabin.

His body was filled with all kinds of tubes, connected to dense instrument guidance wires.

This scene looks a little inexplicably infiltrating.

"Don't be afraid."

Gu Qian took Jiang Li's hand and comforted him softly.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "Uncle...... Dad's body, this should be painful, right? ”

The body is full of various tubes.

Relying on various medical equipment and drugs to hang on for his life.

Receiving the double torture of body and soul every day, it feels painful to think about it, and I am afraid that ordinary people would have chosen to die a long time ago.

"It's my dad's own request."

Gu Qian sighed, with sadness in his tone: "He has never been a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the Gu family is stormy, he is the pillar of the lineage, and as the current head of the family, he must live." ”

"He knows that only if he is alive, can the lineage be supported, and he can survive until I am alive, and one of Gu Yao will succeed to the position of the head of the family."
