Chapter 70 Chapter 70
Wen Yue listened to the flattery of the crowd absentmindedly, glancing at his watch from time to time.
Such banquets were commonplace for him, but today he had some expectations, and even felt that time was going a little slowly.
Until a waiter came to his side and whispered, "Mr. Wen, Mr. Gu's car has arrived."
Wen Yue's eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his hand to say to everyone, "Everyone, I'll leave for a moment."
After that, he stood up and walked out.
Although it seemed no different from usual, if you look closely, you will find that his steps seemed to be a little bigger.
Wen Yue walked to the front hall and saw Gu Xingshi walking in with Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing.
Gu Xingshi's outfit today made his eyes light up.
The retro British-style suit matched with the gold collar pin on the shirt made his neck look even slimmer.
The three-dimensional tailoring fit his narrow waist, and when he raised his hand, the emerald dial on his wrist was exposed.
Wen Yue's expression moved slightly.
He recognized that this watch was the one he asked Tang Ling to send to Gu Xingshi.
Gu Xingshi wore this watch, could it be...
Before he could be happy, he saw two figures standing on both sides of Gu Xingshi like two door gods, one on the left and one on the right.
"Mr. Wen, nice to meet you!"
Wen Yue: "..."
Although Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing were smiling and polite, he always had a feeling that the two were staring at him covetously.
Sun Hongfei behind him had this feeling even more obvious.
He lowered his voice and said to Tang Ling: "To put it in an inappropriate way, Mr. Wen is now like a stepfather who is being closely guarded by his stepson..."
Tang Ling: "..."
Is it okay to say such things in front of Mr. Wen? !
Aren't you too relaxed!
Fortunately, Gu Xingshi came out in time to smooth things over.
Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing reluctantly retreated behind him.
Sun Hongfei: "Tsk tsk, see, President Gu still protects President Wen, it feels like the two will reconcile soon."
Tang Ling: "..."
Wen Yue, relying on his height advantage, glanced at the two of them indifferently, and stood beside Gu Xingshi without showing a word: "Let's go in first."
Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing: "!!!"
Sun Hongfei: "Although it was just a brief confrontation, it felt like watching a bloody family drama..."
Tang Ling: "..."
Shut up, I can't look at President Wen anymore.
Wen Yue led Gu Xingshi inside, while introducing him to the guests who came this time.
As the two walked into the banquet hall, countless eyes were cast in an instant.
Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes with different thoughts, even Qin Wen and Sheng Yueqing, who are often in the spotlight, are a little uncomfortable, but Gu Xingshi is calm and can even chat and laugh with Wen Yue.
Almost everyone in the hall has heard about the "scandal" between Wen Yue and Gu Xingshi, but many of them have the same idea as Ruan Yi.
But now seeing Wen Yue's unprecedented attentive attitude, everyone is shocked. Looking
at Gu Xingshi's calmness, this is not a little canary that is kept, it is clearly the white moonlight that President Wen has been longing for.
No matter what expression everyone has on their faces, they have made new plans in their hearts.
Wen Yue led Gu Xingshi to the main seat and took the initiative to introduce him: "This is General Manager Lan Yulan of Beijing Film Academy."
This is a well-maintained noblewoman with a gorgeous and elegant appearance. She looks no more than 30 years old. Before Wen Yue introduced Gu Xingshi to her, she smiled and said: "This must be General Manager Gu, you are really a handsome man. I have heard about you from Wen Jun a long time ago. We are all family, so there is no need to be so polite. Just call me Sister Lan."
Gu Xingshi was a little surprised by her enthusiasm. After all, he had never had any intersection with her before.
System: [Hey, this is normal. Who made her keep shipping you and Wen Yue's CP recently! ]
Gu Xingshi: [??? 】
System: 【Lan Yuyu has a nickname in the circle called "Orchid Mantis", which means that she eats her mate like an orchid mantis.
She married four times in total, and each time she married, she swallowed up her husband's assets, and each time she married a higher-ranking man. Until the last time, she directly took over the Beijing Film Group and became a big boss in the circle, making everyone fear and envy her. 】
【But in fact, this is not Lan Yuyu's fault... She thought she married for love every time, but her first husband cheated on her, and Lan Yuyu had to tearfully let him leave the house. Her second husband was abusive, and Lan Yu cried to let him go to jail. Her third husband was a gambler, and her fourth husband wanted to swallow up her business... But, these men were not as capable as she was, and in the end they could only be punished by her and became the nourishment of her career. 】
【Lan Yuyu felt very uncomfortable at first, but now she has figured it out. Since she can't get wonderful love, she will admire the beautiful love of others. It can be said that she has made an indelible contribution to the fact that your love story with Wen Yue has spread so widely. 】
Gu Xingshi: [……]
System: [However, although she likes to ship CPs, she hates the kind of love where one party depends on the other. Once she realizes that it is a dodder-like love, she will immediately give up...]
Gu Xingshi: [Oh, she still ships the strong one.]
System: [Ahem... you can say that.]
At this time, Lan Yuyu said quickly: "President Wen has never liked to attend such banquets, but this time he took the initiative to hold a banquet. We originally thought that the sun was rising from the west, but it turned out to be for President Gu."
This statement sounds fine at first, but it will feel inappropriate if you think about it carefully, as if everyone else on the scene is said to be a tool. If you meet someone with a deep mind, he might mind.
Wen Yue frowned slightly and was about to speak.
Gu Xingshi smiled and said, "Sister Lan, please don't laugh at me. I'm just lucky. I caught the amazing sight of the sun rising from the west for the first time. I guess I have to buy a lottery ticket today."
This little joke eased the atmosphere.
Lan Yuyu realized something was wrong after she finished speaking. She didn't expect Gu Xingshi to react so quickly and answer just right, saving everyone's face.
She originally just thought it was fun to talk about CP, but now she really treated Gu Xingshi differently, and Gu Xingshi's face really made people happy.
So, she immediately said: "Then I will also take advantage of Xiao Gu's luck. If we have cooperation in the future, don't forget your sister!"
Everyone at the scene was stunned.
Lan Yuyu seemed to be easy to talk to, but she was a well-deserved female overlord in the business world. Others had always been begging to cooperate with her. Gu Xingshi just said a few words to her, and she took the initiative to ask for cooperation? ?
Even the man who had been lowering his head and had no sense of existence beside Lan Yuyu couldn't help but look at Gu Xingshi.
System: [This is Lan Yuyu's younger brother, Lan Yue. Don't look at his plain appearance. He is a tough guy. However, he is the ultimate sister control...]
Gu Xingshi understood, and after shaking hands with Lan Yue in a natural manner, he said sincerely: "Boss Lan has beautiful eyes!"
Lan Yue couldn't help but frown.
There were some people who were jealous of Gu Xingshi for being favored by Lan Yuyu so easily, and now they were also happy about the misfortune.
Everyone knows that compared to the stunning Lan Yuyu, Lan Yue is plain-looking, and was once suspected of not being the Lan family's biological child. He also felt inferior about his appearance, especially his eyes that were almost narrowed into a slit due to his severe myopia.
Did Gu Xingshi flatter the horse but hit the horse's leg?
Who knew that Gu Xingshi was not only not panicked, but more certain: "Yes, Mr. Lan's eyes look similar to Sister Lan's, they are obviously siblings!"
Lan Yue's cold expression melted instantly: "Really?"
Gu Xingshi: "Yes, if you don't believe me, ask Mr. Wen?"
Wen Yue: "..."
However, facing the two expectant faces, he could only nod silently, "...indeed, they are a bit similar."
Lan Yuyu was surprised: "Little Gu's eyes are really amazing. When Xiao Yue was a child, his eyes were almost exactly the same as mine, but he became nearsighted when he grew up, but if you look closely, the outline is still similar." After
hearing what his sister said, Lan Yue's face seemed to light up, and his attitude towards Gu Xingshi became more gentle.
Everyone: "???"
This is also possible? ! !
At this time, a hearty laugh came: "I'm late, please don't be surprised!"
Gu Xingshi looked over and saw a fat old man with silver hair walking quickly.
When he came, everyone stood up: "Mr. Zhan."
This is the founder of Taosheng Capital, Zhan Demin.
System: [Host, host, this is the big boss today! ! ]
[Don't be fooled by his simple clothes and approachable personality. In fact, he is a smiling tiger. I don't know how many people were deceived by his appearance at the beginning. Moreover, he is extremely vigilant and it is difficult for anyone to impress him. However, he is not without weaknesses...】
【He is addicted to fishing and has rich theoretical knowledge, but he always returns empty-handed every time he goes fishing. However, this is not important, he mainly likes to show off to others...】
Gu Xingshi: 【Oh, fishing with your mouth?】
System: 【...Host, you are really good at talking.】
So, when Zhan Demin talked about his fishing experience again, he immediately received a sincere and beautiful rainbow fart.
Moreover, Gu Xingshi was not perfunctory, and every word of his praise accurately hit the itchy spot of Zhan Demin.
Zhan Demin had never had such a hearty chat before. When he looked at Gu Xingshi, his eyes were full of love, and he called him "little Gu" all the time. He was not so affectionate even to his own grandson.
Everyone: "???"
Even President Zhan was conquered! !
Gu Xingshi is not really going to be a slave, right?
Ruan Yi was stunned when he saw Gu Xingshi chatting happily with the big guys in the main seat. Didn't they say
that they were in different circles and couldn't force themselves to blend in? ? ?
Why did Gu Xingshi have a different set of standards?
The wealthy circles in Beijing are clearly divided into different levels and have many rules.
For example, when the Ruan family got to the main seat, even if the Lan family brothers and sisters introduced them, they still didn't care, not to mention the feeling of being treated like a star like Gu Xingshi.
At this time, his wife Xiang Li asked worriedly: "Mr. Wen is not sincere to him, right? Then we..."
Ruan Yi frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, how can a top-notch wealthy family like the Wen family allow the head of the family to find a man, isn't this a joke? Besides, if he doesn't marry and have children, does he want to have no descendants?"
Xiang Li: "But..."
"Don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige!" Ruan Yi glared at her, "You should try it if it works!"
He didn't believe it.
Wen Yue can really violate the unspoken rules of the wealthy family and be with a man.
It happened that the cocktail party started at this time, and many people took the opportunity to go to the main seat to compliment.
Ruan Yi also pulled Ruan Wenrou and walked to the main seat with wine.
Finally it was Ruan Yi's turn, he immediately flattered to the extreme, and hintedly pushed Ruan Wenrou out.
Ruan Wenrou was pretty, and she was wearing a dress that showed off her figure. Her face was shy, and she called out softly, "Mr. Wen."
Wen Yue frowned immediately.
With just one glance, he could tell what the father and daughter were planning, and he was disgusted.
In fact, he had encountered such a thing before, and he simply ignored it.
But now he is pursuing Gu Xingshi. What if he misunderstood at this critical moment?
He was about to let them go, but he found that Gu Xingshi was looking at them.
Wen Yue's heart suddenly tightened: "What's wrong?"
Gu Xingshi said absentmindedly: "Nothing..."
In fact, when the two of them walked over, the system had already screamed in his mind.
[Host, this is a shocking news! ! 】
Gu Xingshi suddenly became interested: [Oh?]
System: [Perhaps you have heard of the real and fake daughter? That's right! The one in front of you is the legendary fake daughter!!]
Gu Xingshi raised his eyebrows slightly.
System: [Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the fake daughter is actually the daughter of the real daughter's grandmother and her mother's biological sister!]
Gu Xingshi: [Read as fake daughter, write as real sister, 6!]
