Chapter 88: Abundant Wealth
A girl with a great look and figure walked over slowly and looked at the man who was enjoying the breeze on the ferry with a smile.
"Yeah." He Yue was a little cold.
The food made by the goddess must be delicious.
"Ayue, I really like this ice cream glutinous rice cake. Can your chef lend it to me?" The girl seemed not to notice that he was quiet and continued to ask.
"No." He answered without thinking.
The elegant smile on the girl's face seemed to be unable to maintain.
Normally she is the center of attention, except for this man, who is extremely disdainful of her.
Why?
Just because she was ignorant when she was in school and once beat her cousin?
It's been five years, it's time to let it go.
Gu Xingyue bit her lip and swallowed her grievance.
"Ayue, we are engaged. The wedding is scheduled for the end of the year, so we should cultivate our relationship." Gu Xingyue whispered.
He Yue couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Engaged? How come I didn't know I was engaged?"
"My uncle and aunt said...a marriage between our two families is a win-win situation for everyone, a strong alliance, and a perfect match." She wanted to marry him.
"Everyone is happy? Have you asked me if I am happy? A woman with a heart of viciousness like you is worthy of being my wife? Dream on." He said sarcastically, then took out a Marlboro cigarette from his belt and put it in his mouth.
The cigarette is lit when the thumb presses the lighter.
He Yue took a deep puff of the cigarette between his fingers, leaned against the railing, and puffed out smoke.
He tilted his head slightly, making his smooth jawline more prominent. His tie was a little messy, making him look less serious and more unruly.
This hazy and unreal look left Gu Xingyue stunned.
This was the character in her dream, but he said the words that hurt her the most.
"Ayue..." she murmured, "Don't say that."
He Yue pretended not to hear and continued, "Don't want to hear it? I'm going to tell you. Back then, you were just careless and pushed Gu Qing down the stairs. He was seriously injured and is still lying in the hospital!"
Gu Qing and he were brothers who had shared life and death. This woman would do anything to fight for the family property.
There was no way he could marry such a person.
Gu Xingyue explained: "I don't know, I didn't use any force. Ah Yue, I don't want this to happen either."
"Okay, stop talking and get out." He felt very annoyed and didn't want to see this woman.
"Okay." Since He Yue didn't want to see her, she would leave.
Anyway, there is a long way to go, and she will definitely become his wife, Mrs. He.
The banquet began with Old Master He giving a speech.
Old Master He is already eighty years old this year, but he is still in good health. Today he is wearing a Ruyi tiger-patterned embroidered hexagram and a black jade ring on his right thumb, looking majestic and impressive.
Hearing everyone discussing how delicious the pastries were, the old man felt proud.
"Thank you all for coming to this party."
The guests present applauded.
"This is an internal gathering of the He family, so naturally they have something to announce."
Everyone is looking forward to it.
The most likely thing to be announced today is the successor.
Old Master He's three sons, two daughters, their children, and all the relatives and branches of the clan came.
Those who have the opportunity will be nervous about it, while those who don’t will just watch the show.
Old Master He cleared his throat and said, "I know what you're concerned about. I have indeed decided on an heir. My third son is kind-hearted and capable, and I intend to choose him as my successor."
The eldest son, He Xiao, was the first to disagree. Before the old man could finish, he spoke out: "Why? Third brother is just a playboy. He has three wives and keeps young women all day long. What kind of ability does he have?"
He was actually right. The Third Master, He Shun, was a playboy with a wife and two concubines.
He Yue was born to his wife and, like him, loved beauty.
Second Master He Yan winked at He Xiao and said, "Brother, there must be a reason for Father's choice. I have no objection. If there is anything you don't understand about managing the family business in the future, please feel free to ask me."
"You..." He Xiao wanted to ask why. If he didn't object now, did he have to wait until things were settled before objecting?
Are you willing to let this idiot Third Brother crawl over your head and piss on you?
Although he had many questions, he swallowed his words after seeing Old Master He's obviously unhappy expression.
"Father, I was wrong. I was too impulsive just now. My second brother is right. I shouldn't have questioned your opinion." He admitted his mistake obediently.
"Yeah." Old Master He's expression improved a little, and he said to He Shun, "Ah Shun, did you hear that? I'll leave the position of heir to you."
He Shun was still confused.
He is a lazy and indolent person, who is addicted to alcohol and sex, but the only good thing about him is that he has no ambition.
He originally wanted to see whether it would be his capable eldest brother whose dream would come true this time, or his smooth and experienced second brother who would have the upper hand.
In the end, all this wealth fell on his head?
Is this a dream?
His first reaction was to refuse: "Father, I can't do it! You should give this position to my eldest and second brothers!"
If he were to be the heir, there would be a lot of things to do every day, and he couldn't handle it.
He just wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally every day, have someone to serve him, drink good wine, and have beautiful women by his side.
He doesn't want to manage a group or anything like that.
It is impossible to go to work.
Old Master He had expected him to say this and pretended to be angry, "I told you to take the position, so you can't refuse. You've been having fun for so long, it's time to focus on your career."
"Yes, third brother, this is the opportunity given to you by your father, you must seize it well." He Yan advised.
He Xiao was almost biting his teeth at this moment. He wanted it but couldn't get it, and you still dared to despise him!
He really wanted to say, don’t give it to me!
Growing up, my third brother was the most favored. I thought my father would be cautious in such a major matter concerning the future of the family.
Unexpected!
He closed his eyes and opened them again, feeling calmer.
"Third brother, father and second brother are right. Don't refuse. You can always ask us if you don't know."
He Shun couldn't refuse, so he said with a bitter face: "Okay."
At worst, you can hire an agent to manage it.
The matter was settled, and the guests congratulated him one after another, but he could only respond with a wry smile.
However, his two concubines were pleasantly surprised to hear the news, and accepted the compliments and flattery with great joy.
He Yue didn't feel anything when he knew his father became the heir.
It's your dad who is in charge, not you, so you should play the game the same way.
Gu Xingyue, who had been secretly watching He Yue from a distance, became even more determined to marry him.
As the guests and hosts were toasting each other and having a great time, a commotion suddenly broke out.
“There are ants!”
"There are ants in the pastry, please stop eating!"
Someone started screaming. The cake fell to the ground, and a dense swarm of ants crawled out and scattered in all directions.
The female guest was so frightened that she jumped onto the table without caring about her image, and the male guests were also terrified.
