Chapter 165 Rejecting Gu Hancheng's Black Card
Luo Zhiwei's gaze fell on Gu Hanchi, her eyes filled with malice and hatred, as if she wished she could tear Gu Hanchi to pieces.
But not yet, not yet. If she retaliates against him like this, the Gu family will definitely protect her. She has to think of a way, a way. She wants to ruin Gu Hanchi's reputation.
As an elder and the head of the family, Old Master Gu naturally possessed a reserved demeanor. He wanted to step forward but was somewhat embarrassed, so he could only awkwardly say, "You've all arrived. Please take a seat, please take a seat."
Luo Zhiwei nodded slightly to him as a greeting.
Before they took their seats, Gu Yulin introduced his parents: "Weiwei, Beixiao, that's my dad Gu Hanlin, and my mom Liang Yu."
Luo Zhiwei smiled slightly: "Second Master Gu, Second Madam Gu, hello."
Liang Yu looked at her lifeless daughter with a pang of heartache, feeling quite distressed. She stood up casually, walked quickly to Luo Zhiwei, and pushed out the gift box that Luo Zhiwei had prepared earlier.
"Weiwei, this is our first time meeting. Your second uncle and I prepared a small gift for you. Please don't mind it." Liang Yu's eyes were gentle, and she radiated maternal love and the affection of an elder.
“Some of these are things we brought back from abroad. Gu Yulin told us too late, so we could only go to the auction to find two items for you. The others are things your second uncle and I prepared early this morning after we heard you were willing to meet with us last night.”
Liang Yu pushed the gift box in front of Luo Zhiwei: "Open it and take a look. If you like it, accept it. If you don't like it, your second uncle and I will get you a new one."
Gu Hanlin sat to the side, smiling kindly with gentle eyes, clearly the easygoing type: "Yes, see if you like it. If you don't, your aunt and I will get you a new one."
Luo Zhiwei looked at Lu Jingxiao for help, she didn't know this family was so enthusiastic.
Grandpa Gu suddenly spoke up: “Whether Weiwei likes it or not, just accept it. If she doesn’t like it, have your second uncle and aunt prepare another one. She can keep it and play with it. There’s no need to return it. The Gu family still has that much money.”
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
Are all rich people this capricious?
"I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Yu interrupted her, smiling gently, "Dad is right, keep them for fun. If you don't like them, I'll take you to buy some tomorrow."
This feeling of kinship was something Luo Zhiwei had only ever experienced with her own mother, and the other person was Lu Jingxiao's mother...
Madam Gu the Second was also very gentle, and the temperament of a noble lady from a wealthy family was fully displayed in her.
Liang Yu picked up the other gift boxes and walked slowly towards Gu Beixiao: "These are for you. Open them and take a look. If you don't like them, we can exchange them."
Gu Beixiao stood there, stunned. Was there any left for him?
"Thanks."
Liang Yu patted his shoulder affectionately: "Why are you thanking me? We're all family."
Madam Gu also stood up, ready to present the gifts she had chosen. There were quite a few of them, so she placed them in the corner of the private room.
She took Luo Zhiwei's arm and pointed to the gifts in the corner: "Weiwei, your grandfather and I didn't know what you liked, so we prepared some of the ones we thought were nice for you and Beixiao. Take them home and open them slowly. If you don't like them, tell Yulin and I'll take you to choose again."
Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao were caught off guard by their sudden warmth and surprise.
It feels like you're obligated to help someone who's paid for your meal.
Knowing what she was thinking, Lu Jingxiao gently comforted Luo Zhiwei, speaking softly and tenderly: "Weiwei, just accept it. This is a token of Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu's goodwill, as well as the goodwill of Second Uncle and Second Aunt. Their goodwill should not be confused with that of others."
Gu Hancheng: "..."
I suspect you're targeting me.
However, it is indeed inappropriate for a biological father not to prepare a decent gift for his two children when they first meet.
It's no wonder that Lu Jingxiao treated him with sarcasm.
With Lu Jingxiao's reassurance, Luo Zhiwei accepted the gift without hesitation, and Gu Beixiao did not refuse.
"Thanks."
The brother and sister thanked each other in unison.
Grandpa Gu was very satisfied, and he waved his hand to let Weiwei and the others sit down.
However, as soon as Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao sat down, the old man started his rant. He glanced at his other two sons and said, "I don't know how you two act as elders. You didn't even prepare a decent gift. What are you doing here?"
Gu Hancheng quickly admitted his mistake: "It was my oversight, I..."
He took out his wallet, placed two unlimited black cards on the rotating table, and turned the bank cards in front of Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao: "I don't know what to give as a gift. Take these two black cards and buy whatever you want. Don't worry about saving money for me."
However, after exchanging a glance, Luo Zhiwei and Gu Beixiao didn't even look at the black card in front of them, but turned it back directly: "No need, Mr. Gu, my brother and I don't lack anything."
“But…don’t you owe Lu Jingxiao 60 million? You can just…”
Lu Jingxiao quickly interrupted Gu Hancheng: "Uncle Gu, you don't need to worry about this. This is between Weiwei and me."
Even if Weiwei didn't accept the money, he wouldn't accept it anyway.
Those were his and Weiwei's buttons. He would fight anyone who dared to take them off!
Gu Hanchi not only didn't say anything, but also chuckled softly, his eyes full of sarcasm: "No wonder you came to the banquet. Every gift from the Gu family is worth a fortune, not to mention the black card from my elder brother."
"Luo Zhiwei, didn't you say that it would be best for us not to meet, and that we should wipe the slate clean? What are you doing? Are you going back on your word?"
Old Master Gu's face darkened, wishing he could tear his son to pieces for spouting nonsense.
Didn't you see they were all trying to please Weiwei and Beixiao? They are the children of the Gu family, so isn't it only natural for them to return to the Gu family?
What's wrong with this son?
"Shut up, Gu Hanchi. Do you even have the right to speak here? Not only did you not prepare a gift for Weiwei and Beixiao, but you also dare to say these things. Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Grandpa Gu was furious. He scolded him, and the flesh on his face trembled.
"dad...."
Luo Zhiwei didn't give Gu Hanchi a chance to speak. She directly mocked, "Old Master Gu, I dare not accept Third Master Gu's gift. What if he's hiding some poison? Then my life will be in danger."
"After all, during our previous meetings, Third Master Gu wished he could kill me. If Lu Jingxiao hadn't been by my side, I probably would have lost my life when President Gu investigated my identity, and I wouldn't be sitting here alive."
Gu Hanchi slammed his fist on the table in anger, his face grim: "Luo Zhiwei, didn't we say that we'd let bygones be bygones? What do you mean by bringing this up again?"
Luo Zhiwei scoffed indifferently, "That was before."
"Gu Hanchi, you've hidden it so well. You know I'm Luo Huining's daughter, yet you pretend not to know me and prevent me from entering the Gu family. Are you afraid I'll expose your lies?"
"You are a complete scumbag. You hid your identity and dated my mother, and then left her because of a misunderstanding... Gu Hanchi, you will never know what you have lost."
