The old lady immediately quit the food delivery app. "Don't order! If he's so capable, let him attend Xie Buyun's family reunion banquet. Now he knows how embarrassing he is?"

Gu Yu was helpless. Mrs. Gu had always been strong-willed; otherwise, given the friendship between Mr. Gu and Mr. Xie, they wouldn't have almost broken off their relationship back then.

After Mrs. Gu returned the phone, he secretly sent a WeChat message to Mr. Gu, reminding him to order takeout.

The old man quickly replied with a long voice message.

Before Gu Yu could even look at it, Mrs. Gu, who had heard the WeChat notification sound, snatched it back.

With a cold laugh, he clicked on it, "I'd like to hear if he's just playing the victim..."

In her opinion, the reason why Grandpa Gu sent such a long voice message must be because he regretted it and wanted to come to Xie Ziyuan's birthday banquet, so he asked for her forgiveness.

"Why order takeout? I'm having a great time at the Diamond Hall of the Whale Hotel!" The voice wasn't pleading or begging for mercy; instead, it was filled with excitement and surprise.

The old man was clearly having a great time!

The voice continued, "This banquet is the highest-level I've ever seen. You know, the Western food at the Whale Hotel is already superb, and they even invited the culinary team from Baiweige! I've attended so many banquets, but I've never eaten such delicious food!"

The old lady's face darkened instantly.

He sneered, "That old bastard Xie Buyun only knows how to do this kind of useless work..."

Who attends a banquet just to eat? At such lavish banquets, no matter how delicious the food is, no one dares to eat to their heart's content.

Everyone's there to network and get to know powerful people, okay?

The old lady looked down on Xie Buyun more and more. Could he attract powerful people by using such sensational methods?

Don't they know that the powerful and wealthy get their positions based on connections and abilities?

She sent her sarcastic remarks directly.

Grandpa Gu replied instantly: "Then you're mistaken. Today's family reunion banquet is a gathering of celebrities. The president of the Municipal Education Association is here, and the city's second-in-command is here too. By the way, many important figures from the capital have also come. You must have seen a lot of luxury cars with out-of-town license plates on the road, right? They're all here to attend Xie Li's family reunion banquet!"

Old Mr. Gu, after all, was engaged in the work of teaching and educating people, so his lung capacity did not diminish with age, and his voice was full of energy, resounding loudly in the small car.

At the same time, the old lady's daughter-in-law looked out the window and exclaimed, "Look! Over there is the giant LED screen at Kingkey!"

The old lady wasn't yet old and her eyesight was failing, so she looked over at the sound of her daughter-in-law's voice and immediately saw the advertisement and scrolling blessings for Xie Li's family reunion banquet.

This is not something that money can buy; it greatly enhances one's reputation.

Xie Ziyuan didn't receive this treatment. Even though the Huo and Ding families joined forces, their power and influence were among the best in Linjiang City.

The old lady felt a throbbing pain in her temples and was furious.

How could a village girl whom she looked down upon have surpassed Xie Ziyuan?

Gu Yu's gaze suddenly sharpened, "That looks like the teacher's car..."

Since the road was completely blocked and he couldn't move, he simply got out of the car and went ahead to say hello.

Mrs. Gu was always clear-headed about such matters, so she didn't dare to say much. Gu Yu returned quickly, and Mrs. Gu asked, "What's wrong? Is it Principal Hu?"

To be honest, Gu Yu wasn't really that person's disciple. He had only taken their classes while studying at Imperial University.
