Chapter 156 Is Master Gu very protective of his food?

The car drove slowly into the corridor inside the manor. Su Jiuyao lowered the window and looked at the building with flashing lights not far away.

It was a manor with pure Italian classical architectural style. Although it was night, it was still beautiful. The night breeze was mixed with light Sicilian dance music, floating faintly from a distance.

It should have been a pleasant thing, but for some reason, as soon as Su Jiuyao entered the manor, cold sweat broke out on her palms.

Gu Hanye noticed her silence and the way her fingers were clenched together: "Nervous?"

Jiuyao shook her head. It was not that she had never attended big occasions before. Although this was abroad, she would not be stage fright.

The uneasiness in my heart seems even more inexplicable.

Su Jiuyao rubbed her temples to stop herself from thinking about it, and changed the subject: "Is this manor owner your friend or business partner?"

Gu Hanye then told her that the current owner of the manor, Li Shan, was also from Haicheng and was neither a friend nor a business partner.

If you have to count, he is a distant uncle who is somewhat related to Gu Hanye, but he lives in Milan all year round and does business here.

Li Shan’s wife was a local noble, so this classical manor was actually originally the property of Li Shan’s wife’s family.

The reason why Gu Hanye came to attend this cocktail party was to take this opportunity to meet several other business partners who were also present to help Gu's company continue to expand into the European market.

Gu Hanye was afraid that Su Jiuyao would not like this kind of social occasion and did not want to bring her here. But on the one hand, he was afraid that she would be lonely in the hotel, and on the other hand, the Otitore Manor had some history and was worth a visit.

Listening to his unhurried explanation, Su Jiuyao's nervousness eased a lot.

She was thinking, since she was a relative of Gu Hanye, she wondered if they looked similar.

In Su Jiuyao's mind, she couldn't help but picture an elegant and gentlemanly middle-aged man.

The car drove through a corridor and arrived at the cocktail party.

After stopping the car, Gu Hanye handed the car keys to the waiter, then put Jiuyao's hand on his arm, and the two walked into the venue hand in hand.

Su Jiuyao met the owner and his wife of the manor.

Um, it seems different from what I imagined.

Li Shan is short and fat, with a sparse head and a face full of flesh. Although he is wearing a high-end tuxedo, he still looks a little greasy.

Li Shan's wife, on the other hand, was tall and thin, with a cold gaze and thin lips, giving people an unattainable feeling.

Li Shan and his elegant wife looked a bit out of place standing together.

Li Shan's wife welcomed the two men generously and hoped that they would not be too formal.

Li Shan narrowed his eyes, looked Su Jiuyao up and down, and could not help but nod in admiration, grinning and saying: "Han Ye, your little wife is even more beautiful than in the photo! You are very lucky! Hmm?"

Especially the last word "Hmm?", which implies some ambiguous meaning that only men can understand.

Gu Hanye smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment, uncle."

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Su Jiuyao's waist and pulled her into his arms again.

Then, led by the two hosts, they walked through the porch and headed towards the banquet hall where the reception was held.

Because Gu Hanye hugged her too tightly, Su Jiuyao couldn't help but glare at him and twisted her body uncomfortably.

Just now, when Li Shan praised her beauty, Gu Hanye hugged her as if to declare his sovereignty.

Su Jiuyao couldn't help but wonder if Gu Hanye was too paranoid. Even if an elder praised her, would he protect her like he was protecting his food?

Gu Hanye seemed to see through her thoughts. He lagged behind Li Shan by two steps and whispered in Jiuyao's ear, "This uncle is quite lustful. It's better to be careful when you are in his territory."
