Chapter 252 Interlude at the Family Reunion Banquet
That was the end of that incident.
But it's also a signal to the Gu family that the Gu family is no longer completely sealed off and needs to be readjusted.
It was supposed to be just a family reunion banquet, but the Gu family activated their highest level of security, refusing entry to anyone without an invitation.
Even people with whom you have a good relationship are not allowed to enter without an invitation.
You need to scan a QR code to enter.
Gu Youran was somewhat confused by this move. She couldn't help but complain to Luo Zhiwei, "Weiwei, isn't this a bit too much? It's just a family reunion banquet, is it really necessary to activate the defense system?"
I didn't know better and thought some kind of gunfight was about to happen.
Luo Zhiwei could accept it, because the Gu family did everything to ensure their safety, so she felt very safe: "It's nothing, is it? With so many people coming, a mixed bag, it's safer to activate the defense system."
Gu Youran: "...I actually think you're right."
But soon a commotion broke out outside.
Gu Youran's father and brother arrived, carrying invitations from who-knows-who. The system couldn't find their information and kept sounding an alarm, so security wouldn't let them in.
How could they possibly give up so easily?
They started making a racket outside.
"Do you know who I am? Let me in right now! My daughter is the goddaughter of Master Gu! Do you even know who you're stopping?!"
The security guard checked the information on the security system. Gu Jianguo, there was no such person at all.
To be precise, this person was not on the invitation list.
Gu Jianguo is Gu Youran's biological father.
I don't know why I'm here, but it's definitely not a good thing.
"My sister is Gu Youran, the main character of your family reunion banquet today. Without us here, how can this banquet proceed?"
The speaker was Gu Youran's brother, Gu Bin, and his disgusting expression was truly unbearable to look at.
"No matter what you say, it's useless. There's no information about either of you in the system, so you can't get in."
The security guards were very firm in their principles; if they said no one could enter, they wouldn't let them in.
The father and son even wanted to fight the security guards, disregarding their image.
They must attend the banquet hosted by the Gu family today.
Gu Youran suddenly felt powerless. Why would her family, who hadn't shown up for so many years and had long since severed ties with her, come knocking on her door at this time?
The purpose couldn't be clearer.
"Gu Jianguo, are you out of your mind? Did you come here without being invited?!"
Gu Youran's voice was cold and devoid of warmth, as if the person in front of her was not her biological father, but a stranger who had trespassed into the old house.
When Gu Jianguo saw Gu Youran, he was more enthusiastic than if he had seen the God of Wealth. He approached her with a fawning expression: "Ranran, it's your father. It's been so long! You've become more and more beautiful... Your brother and I..."
What brings you here?
Gu Youran didn't give her a friendly look; in fact, she seemed a little impatient.
Gu Jianguo looked at her with a smile and stammered, "I heard that the eldest son of the Gu family wants to take you as his goddaughter. Your mother has already been arrested, so your brother and I naturally have to come and support you."
"No need." Gu Youran smiled contemptuously: "Gu Jianguo, I know very well what you're planning, and I know very well what you're after."
"Get out! I won't let you in. You're not worthy!"
Gu Jianguo was humiliated in public by his daughter, and his face turned very ugly. He was about to jump up and curse Gu Youran: "You brat, you don't think about your own family when you get the benefits, do you?"
"I think you've grown too big for your britches. How did I end up raising such a wretched girl? Now you're trying to climb the social ladder and don't even want your own father and brother anymore!"
As if a switch had been flipped, Gu Bin joined in with Gu Jianguo's words: "Sister, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Dad and I just wanted to come and see you. Why did you have to drive us away? I know you've climbed up to the main family and look down on us, but... Dad and I really miss you."
Several guests passing by the security checkpoint heard this tearful complaint and began to feel indignant.
This is outrageous! Even a dog doesn't mind a poor home, but how can a daughter disown her parents?
I really don't know what the Gu family was thinking. They're willing to acknowledge someone like that; it's shameful.
Let's see how things go first. My family has a business relationship with the Gu family, but I've never heard of him having any daughter.
Me too. The Gu family is a second-rate family. Everyone in the circle has heard of them to some extent, but I've never heard of them. All I know is that they have a son who is treated like a treasure.
As if he had overheard their discussion, Gu Jianguo began to slap his thigh and cry out, "Oh, You Ran, I'm your own father! Back then, you broke ties with the family for Gu Beixiao, and we let you go because your mother and I didn't want to hurt you. Now that you're better off than us, are you going to abandon your father?"
Gu Youran stood there stiffly, as if all her strength had been drained away.
How could she have such a father?
"Gu Jianguo, don't put on such a high-sounding facade. You all know what you were after back then. Gu Beixiao has a new family now, so don't bother him!"
Gu Jianguo immediately said, "I won't bother him. I just want to find you, my daughter. Our family should be reunited... Don't you even recognize your father?"
Gu Youran sneered, her eyes filled with self-mockery: "Dad?"
"Yes, I'm Dad."
Gu Jianguo thought Gu Youran seemed to have remembered them, and his fawning expression became even more obvious.
"Back then, when I defended Gu Beixiao, didn't you tell me to get lost? You even personally drafted the agreement to sever ties, have you forgotten?"
"All these years I've been working hard away from home, have you ever asked me once? Have you and Mom ever come to visit me even once?"
Gu Youran sneered, the despair in her eyes becoming even more apparent: "Even when I earned enough money to buy myself a house outright and put it in my name, you all snatched it away. Do I need to remind you?"
This is why she registered all her movable and immovable property under Gu Beixiao's name. Even in the company she started, she didn't hold any shares. Apart from having real power, she didn't have any shares.
I'm just worried that someone will steal it.
When Mom was arrested, Gu Jianguo didn't show up. I thought he had really cut off all ties with her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the news came out that the Gu family wanted to adopt her as their goddaughter, they came running like dogs, sniffing out the scent.
It's all about sucking blood from her.
“If you had called me even once in all these years, I might have had this door opened today. But, I'm sorry, I don't have a father like you.” Gu Youran then looked at Gu Bin: “I don't have a brother like you either.”
Gu Bin was provoked: "You brat, you think you're all grown up now? You protected Gu Beixiao back then, now it's time for Gu Beixiao to repay us, otherwise, this matter is not over!"
See?
That's why.
"Gu Bin, do you even have the right to speak? Don't go too far. You're the last person here who has the right to speak!"
"you...."
Luo Zhiwei suddenly stood in front of Gu Youran: "Young Master Gu, this is my home. Let me make it very clear that you are not welcome here. Please leave."
Gu Bin was taken aback. Was this Luo Zhiwei?
The eldest daughter of the Gu family has been found.
Is she Gu Youran's friend?
If we can get in touch with this company, will the Gu family ever have to worry about not having business again?
"Sister Luo, it's you! I'm Brother Gu Bin, you..."
"If you dare touch it, I'll chop off your hand!"
Lu Jingxiao's voice came from behind...
