Chapter 59 Birthday Banquet 2

"Patriarch Liu looks much more robust than before. He must have received help from a benefactor. Congratulations!"

Some people exchanged polite words, occasionally glancing at the woman standing next to Gu Feng.

The Gu family has truly raised a wonderful daughter.

Liu Changgeng glanced at Gu Feng and nodded to him. This one gesture made everyone present look at Gu Feng with new respect.

"Old Liu, are you still in good health?"

Upon hearing the voice of the newcomer, everyone turned to look back.

He Sihan raised an eyebrow. Why was Grandpa here? Ever since his two elders passed away, he had disliked these kinds of occasions.

What's going on today?

"Grandpa, what brings you here?"

He Sihan walked up to him. Even though he knew the old man was no good, he still had to give him face in this situation.

However, as his body recovered over the past few days, He Ming began to age at a visible rate.

He guessed they had already discovered it, so there must be another reason he came here today.

He must have wanted to verify whether Liu Changgeng had truly recovered.

When the two elders met, they both wore incredulous smiles.

A person who was on the verge of death miraculously came back to life, while another person who used to use a cane now walks with a brisk pace.

Can this be explained scientifically?

"You little brat, you came early but didn't even wait for me, making me late."

Although it was said in jest, He Sihan found it particularly awkward.

He Ming was invited to the seat of honor. This table was filled with prominent people, all of whom were business partners of the Liu family. After he sat down and greeted them, he realized that their table was missing one person, and that seat happened to be the head seat.

He was wondering why that seat was empty when all the important people there had come. They must be people of high status; could they not be from Jiangcheng?

At this moment, Liu Ying came out, wearing a moon-white cheongsam, her hair simply tied up, and lightly made up.

Shen Wang looked up and exclaimed, "Truly a beauty beyond compare! The women of the Liu family are so elegant and refined!"

You can only admire it from afar!

Liu Ying leaned down and whispered a few words in her grandfather's ear, and Liu Changgeng nodded.

"Your Excellency has been delayed by some business. Since that is the case, the auspicious time has arrived, let the banquet begin."

Dishes were served one after another, and the melodious sounds echoed throughout the hall, filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and lively conversation.

People started sending congratulatory gifts one after another.

"Yan'er, why haven't I seen Yunxi?" Gu Yunqi walked around and sat down next to her.

He's been busy at the company lately and rarely goes home. Even when he does, it's late at night, and everyone in his family is asleep.

"What right does she have to come here? After all, very few people know she exists."

That's true. After Yunxi returned home, her family didn't even have a reunion dinner. Few people outside knew that she was a member of the Gu family.

I heard that recently some people have started doing live streaming, but that industry is incredibly competitive. If you don't have any looks or skills, it's too cruel for newcomers.

He's been busy with investments, and these days he's been working non-stop, rarely paying attention to entertainment news.

"After all, she is our sister, and it's good for her to come out and see the world."

Although he didn't particularly like listening to Gu Yan, it was because she had connected him with the Liu family that he was able to secure this big order.

Moreover, people from other organizations have been approaching him for investment, all thanks to the connections made by the Liu family.

"Second brother, even you think she's good, right?"

Gu Yan looked at him in a coquettish tone, which actually made Gu Yunqi feel somewhat disgusted.

"Sister, you are both my sisters, and you are equally important to me."

"How is that possible? How can you treat everyone equally? Tell me now."

They were clearly inexperienced and had never seen much of the world. Although the Liu family gave them face and allowed them to sit in the front, they were still quite naive.

Some of the business cards the woman handed over felt there was something wrong with her, but they couldn't quite put their finger on what was strange about her!

They even started to regret it!

Gu Feng presented the gifts that she and her daughter had carefully selected. Liu Changgeng, noticing something amiss, asked, "Vice President Gu, why isn't your daughter here?"

“Isn’t my daughter here?... Oh, Mr. Liu is talking about Yunxi. She was asleep when we came out.”

Only Gu Feng would lie about his daughter in front of so many people!

"good!"

Gu Feng noticed that Master Liu seemed somewhat displeased with his answer. Could it be that Master Liu knew Yunxi?

How is that possible?

She's from the countryside, how could she possibly have any connection with someone like Liu Changgeng?

Moreover, Yan'er said that she helped the Liu family by chance, which is why the Liu family gave them the highest level of treatment today.

In the past, the table and chairs near the main entrance would have been where I stayed.

"I heard that Grandpa Liu is a collector. This is a jade Buddha that I acquired by chance. I hope you will accept it!"

He Sihan presented his gift, and Liu Changgeng nodded. He admired this junior quite a bit.

His father and eldest uncle passed away early, and his grandfather was in poor health, so he took on the responsibility of the entire Gu family and has made the business very successful in recent years.

They even surpassed the Liu family. Liu Changgeng originally intended to set up a match for his granddaughter and bring the two together, but unfortunately, He Sihan was sick and seemed to be feeling unwell.

So he gave up on the idea, and today, He Sihan looks quite well.

"Do any of you know who sits in the main seat?"

He Ming looked around.

Several executives shook their heads and discussed work matters in hushed tones, while also wondering who the empty seat was for.

Liu Changgeng gazed longingly towards the gate, his body fully recovered on the day of his birthday banquet.

All of this is thanks to Gu Yunxi. If it weren't for her, as we said before, the Liu family would have been completely destroyed.

Liu Ying glanced down at her phone, then walked towards the door.

"We really are here to deliver gifts. The invitations are right here. Why won't you let us in?"

Gu Yunxi and her third brother stood outside, and the entire banquet was an hour late.

The car broke down, so we took a taxi halfway there. For some reason, the driver took a detour for us, which is how we made it to the destination.

"Excuse me, miss and sir, outsiders are not allowed to enter our banquet area once it begins; that's our rule."

“Young man, rules are rules, but people are flexible. Besides, rules are also decided by people. If you delay... and my brother and I deliver the birthday gift to Master Liu, if Master Liu finds out, both of you will lose your jobs. Moreover, this is a business owned by the Liu family.”

Gu Yunlang began to reason with the two of them.

"Don't worry, Third Brother, someone will come to pick us up soon."

As soon as Gu Yunxi finished speaking, Liu Ying hurriedly came out.
