The scale of the dinner was extremely luxurious.

Almost all the wealthy families in Cangzhou came, and many people took this opportunity to have their younger generations come over to meet people. Some also came to build relationships with other families for various reasons. In short, there were quite a lot of people coming.

In the crowd, Ye Rong saw Gu Huaqing and Wang Qiuman from afar, but did not see Gu Weiyang.

To avoid trouble, Ye Rong did not step forward.

The fact that she became Gu Wei's "fiancée" had not spread in the circle, mainly because the Gu family did not make a big announcement that the "former heir" Gu Wei had returned, not to mention the fiancée who was even more invisible than the "former heir".

Therefore, at this moment, other families would not recognize any relationship between her and the Gu family.

Although Bowen is the eldest son of a wealthy family, he is so focused on his work as an actor that he doesn't really care about what's happening in the wealthy circle.

At this moment, I am just saying hello to acquaintances.

Ye Rong stayed quietly because she found that Gu Wei seemed to be still young.

"Does anyone you know?" Bowen, who was standing next to her, finished talking to an acquaintance, turned his head and asked her softly.

Ye Rong nodded: "But he doesn't seem to have it yet."

Bowen nodded and was about to say something when a young man came over and addressed him by name: "Bowen."

Ye Rong looked at the newcomer and felt that she looked familiar, as if she had seen him at the Shengdu cocktail party before. The other party was also a little surprised to see her, and smiled and greeted her: "Miss Ye Rong, we meet again."

"Hello." Ye Rong smiled back. Although she didn't recognize the other person, there was always nothing wrong with a smile.

The other party didn't pay attention, but looked at Bowen jokingly: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Bowen looked at his friend and raised an eyebrow: "You came here just to tell me this?"

"Of course not." Qi Jun glanced at the crowd, then at his best friend, "What I want to talk about is something else. You should have heard about the Gu family's matter, right?"

The Gu family, an old family in Cangzhou, was a family that had been declining for a long time, but later it rekindled its vitality because of its marriage with the Wei family, which was also an old family.

The Gu family started a fire, but the Wei family completely disappeared from Cangzhou.

For this kind of marriage, Bowen prefers the idea of ​​sending someone to help him. Now it's as if a hand is pushing the Gu family back to where it originally belonged. Of course, Bowen would not say such words, but just nodded slightly: "It's on the hot search, I think it's hard not to know."

"..." Hearing Gu Jia's words, Ye Rong paused slightly when drinking water.

"That's not what I want to say." Qi Jun didn't shy away from Ye Rong and spoke directly, "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone wants to mess with the Gu family. The Gu family itself is a behemoth. Now in this situation, every family wants to get a piece of the pie, but none of them can get it as fast as that hand. I have always been curious about who is so capable as to want to mess with the Gu family, so I contacted them through the company out of curiosity."

Bowen looked at him.

Qi Jun continued, "Last month, when we heard that the eldest son of the Gu family had returned, no one paid much attention, let alone a person whose legs were crippled and whose heir qualifications had been revoked. But who could have imagined that the man behind the Gu family's transformation was this eldest son of the Gu family. I remember his name was...Gu Weibei?"

Bowen listened to this and nodded: "Yeah."

Qi Jun glanced at his friend and said, "I remember you and the eldest young master of the Gu family were classmates, right?"

Bowen thought about it and said, "When I was in elementary school."

"..." Qi Jun paused, "Do you think Young Master Gu is planning to take back his position as heir?"

Bowen thought for a moment and asked, "Would you want to destroy something before you get it back?"

"That makes sense." Qi Jun thought. The Gu family was on its last legs now. Gu Huaqing and his wife wanted to take advantage of this dinner to ask for help, but it was obvious that the other party had deliberately left this breath. No one would be stupid enough to step into a trap knowing it was a trap, so the Gu couple were destined to return empty-handed later.

The two of them were talking here, and they didn't notice Ye Rong who was looking in one direction beside them.

...Gu Weibei!

Across the crowd, Ye Rong still caught a glimpse of him.

The young man's face was visibly pale, but his gentle and calm appearance suppressed the slight sense of weakness. He was talking to someone in a gentle voice.

The dark suit fits his body tightly, and the reddish-brown color of his tie is like a dried rose, the only warm color on him.

His arrival caused a small commotion. Unlike the Shengdu cocktail party, everyone now knew his true identity and came over to greet him.

Everyone present was smart, and no one was unaware of the young man's methods.

The Gu family's empire is on the verge of collapse, and it didn't happen overnight.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ye Rong was stunned where he was. The person was clearly right in front of him, but there was always a kind of alienation and indifference about him that kept people away.

"..." Ye Rong wanted to take steps forward, but now he couldn't lift his feet.

Her eyes never left the young man from beginning to end. Perhaps because she had been looking at him for too long, the young man seemed to sense something and his eyes moved slightly... and then fell on her.

At that moment, Ye Rong clearly felt that when the boss looked at her, the gentle mask on his face cracked.

How can I describe the feeling of looking into each other's eyes? It's as if everything around you suddenly becomes blurred, and in the entire picture, only the person in front of you is clear.
