Chapter 254 Family Reunion Banquet (3)
Luo Zhiwei suddenly got angry, silencing everyone.
Gu Hancheng can't stand seeing his daughter angry. These people really don't take his warnings seriously.
He said sternly, "Gu Youran is the daughter of my Gu family. If you want to talk about her, I need to see if I agree to it."
Everyone immediately fell silent.
Luo Zhiwei took Gu Youran to rest elsewhere, not wanting to face those sycophants at all.
Lu Jingxiao originally went along, but the banquet was so chaotic, what if something went wrong?
However, Luo Zhiwei didn't want him to come along and quickly stopped him: "I'll just rest in the lounge, it'll be fine."
Surveillance cameras are everywhere.
"I'll have someone follow you. You two sisters can have a good chat. I'll have someone call you to eat something later."
Lu Jingxiao had no choice but to compromise. Weiwei was very stubborn about Gu Youran's matter, and he couldn't say anything but respect her wishes.
Luo Zhiwei nodded: "Okay, we'll come out on our own later."
The moment the door closed, Luo Zhiwei hugged Gu Youran tightly, patting her back tenderly, "Ranran, don't worry about them. You're part of my family now. You treated me like family before, and now you're family too."
If Gu Youran hadn't pulled her back then, she might have really died from depression.
Gu Youran's mother had already gone inside. Unexpectedly, her father and brother came over. The "long time no see" thing was just an excuse.
"I... Weiwei, I'm actually fine."
She's already used to it, hasn't she?
Previously, she posed no threat to Gu Bin's position at home, and her parents treated her fairly well.
However, as she grew older, she developed her own ideas about managing the company, and at a young age, she overshadowed Gu Bin.
Her mother then began to plot against her.
But she didn't understand; she thought her mother was testing her.
Unexpectedly... in her repeated scheming, she chose to protect Gu Beixiao. She was afraid that her mother would harm Gu Beixiao for the sake of her son's future.
Therefore, all she wanted at the time was to save Gu Beixiao's life.
I didn't think that much about it.
But the letter severing ties was the last straw that broke her back; at that moment, she finally believed that her parents didn't love her.
It's okay, she has someone who loves her.
Her parents don't want her, but her brother will.
That's enough.
"Can...."
"Weiwei, I really don't feel anything, I just feel...ashamed."
If they have loving parents, even if they are beggars, she will openly introduce them and live happily with them.
But... they not only didn't love her, they even wanted her to sacrifice herself for the family.
She couldn't bring herself to greet them with a smile, nor could she forgive and forget.
When Luo Zhiwei heard Gu Youran say that, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing was wrong.
"I'm so glad you're alright, Ranran. We'll always be best friends. If you ever feel wronged, you have to tell me, okay?"
Weiwei must have been frightened.
When have I ever shown that expression in front of them?
Gu Youran immediately hugged her and gently coaxed her, "Weiwei, be good. I won't wrong myself. I'll be the Gu family's goddaughter from now on!"
"Everyone who sees me must treat me with utmost respect!"
Hmph!
Gu Youran even gave a haughty hum.
"That's true!"
Luo Zhiwei strongly agreed.
Her serene demeanor deserves the best love in the world.
Although she wasn't sure if her father would treat Ranran well, she and her brother would always treat Ranran well.
Seeing that Luo Zhiwei finally smiled, Gu Youran continued, "Why don't we go outside? Everyone else is outside, and it's not good for us to stay here."
"Let's go then. Lu Jingxiao said that today's pastry chef is a Michelin three-star chef. I haven't had pastries in a long time, so I want to try them!"
Luo Zhiwei's foodie nature was instantly exposed.
**
The two came out of the lounge but went to the flower bed for some fresh air; they were feeling a bit uncomfortable being cooped up in the villa all the time.
Taking advantage of this break, I went around to the banquet venue from the outside.
However, Luo Zhiwei was a little confused: "Ranran, why do we need to go outside?"
"It's too stuffy inside, let's go for a walk. We have bodyguards with us, nothing will happen."
However, Weiwei really can't stay outside for too long, or Lu Jingxiao will get anxious.
Luo Zhiwei turned around and looked behind her. Huh, where are the bodyguards?
"Ranran, I don't think I see any bodyguards. Should we... go back quickly?"
Although this was at home, Lu Jingxiao had warned him that there might be danger today and he shouldn't wander around.
Lu Jingxiao would never say such a thing; if he did, it meant danger was imminent.
She couldn't beat anyone, so the best way was to go back to where there were more people.
With Lu Jingxiao protecting her, she was safe.
She had to go back to where Lu Jingxiao was.
“Okay, then we…” Gu Youran thought that they hadn’t gone very far, so why not walk back, which was the closest option?
"Let's go back."
However, they had only taken a couple of steps back when they ran into someone they knew.
She is Gu Youran's assistant.
Gu Youran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; thankfully, it was someone she knew.
"Qingqing, what are you doing here?"
Qingqing looked around, seemingly to assess her surroundings, and spoke to Gu Youran, "Sister Ran, I didn't see you inside, so I came out to look for you... I didn't expect you to be with Miss Luo."
"Okay, Weiwei and I will go in soon, you can go in too."
Gu Youran didn't care much and took Luo Zhiwei's hand, preparing to go inside.
Unexpectedly, Qingqing blocked her way.
"Ran-jie, I think you probably won't be able to get in."
Qingqing's face turned sinister, her expression full of calculation.
"What do you mean?"
Gu Youran shielded Luo Zhiwei behind her and coldly rebuked her, "Qingqing, what are you trying to do? This is the Gu family home, not the company. There's a limit to joking around."
Qingqing snorted coldly: "Gu Youran, people always strive for higher positions. I only helped someone and I can get 10 million, but I'm sorry to trouble you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Zhiwei sensed someone behind her. She turned around in horror and was knocked unconscious by a bodyguard dressed in dark blue clothes.
Gu Youran was shocked and wanted to call Luo Zhiwei's name, but Qingqing acted quickly: "Get her away quickly, leave this person to me!"
Qingqing immediately grabbed Gu Youran's neck, fiercely and forcefully saying, "Gu Youran, shut up! You're not allowed to speak! If you do, I'll kill you!"
Anyway, I've got ten million in hand, so what if I go to jail!
Gu Youran quickly fainted... Qingqing didn't sense any resistance from her, so she immediately relaxed her guard.
Hmph, they actually tried to ruin my plans.
If you had separated from Luo Zhiwei, you wouldn't have suffered like this.
Just as she relaxed her guard, she was suddenly grabbed. Gu Youran was perfectly fine; she even stared wide-eyed as someone restrained her!
"Trying to run? No way!"
Gu Youran restrained the person and began shouting loudly, "Help! Help!"
We happened to run into the staff who came to check the surveillance footage.
They discovered several cameras were malfunctioning during their inspection and came to fix them. Just then, they heard Gu Youran shouting, and the group rushed over: "What's wrong?"
"Keep her under control! Don't let her get away!"
She needs to find help!
"Take someone away, activate the defense system, and don't let anyone escape!"
Gu Youran didn't have time to explain before running towards the banquet hall. She looked at Lu Jingxiao and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Lu Jingxiao, Weiwei has been kidnapped!"
