In the next two days, the Gu family kept contacting Tang Lianfeng to meet him, but Tang Lianfeng refused on the grounds of being busy. Guessing that the Gu family would go to the antique shop to guard it, Tang Lianfeng didn't even go to the shop. He concentrated on taking Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan to eat, drink and have fun in Kyoto, and even lived in the old house.
The Gu family was well-informed. On the fourth day, someone from the Gu family personally delivered the invitation to the old house. However, the person who wanted to see him was not the little princess of the Gu family, but the eldest son Gu Yue who was helping to manage the business.
"Master Eldest heard that Third Master Little has returned to Kyoto, so we'd like to take this opportunity to get together. I hope Second Master Tang and Third Master Little will do me the honor."
Gu Yue was very thoughtful. The invitation clearly stated that Tang Lianfeng, Tang Jingyuan and their wives were invited to join him, and the venue was a private club owned by the Gu family.
Tang Jingyuan did not make the news of his marriage public, but Gu Yue knew about it. It can be seen that he had made preparations in advance. He was not like the arrogant daughter of the Gu family.
The visitor looked at Tang Lianfeng cautiously, waiting for his nod.
Tang Lianfeng turned around and asked Lu Anning: "Girl, do you want to go eat? The chef here is pretty good."
Tang Lianfeng has a picky palate, so what he calls "okay" is already delicious.
"I'm fine with either."
Since coming to Kyoto, she hasn't had a single meal in the past half month. Lu Anning even feels that she has gained weight.
"Okay! Go back and tell Gu Yue that we will be there in the evening."
The visitor felt relieved and went back with a smile.
The Gu family invited him to dinner and even sent him an invitation, which gave Tang Lianfeng enough face. It would have seemed unkind to refuse.
Lu An Ning heard that the daughter of the Gu family had become the darling of the entire Gu family since her return. Besides her parents' love, her four brothers also loved her without limits. Now, when her sister made a mess, her eldest brother stepped in to clean up the mess.
In the evening, when the three were about to go out, Tang Lianfeng suddenly received a call and had to deal with something urgent, so he was afraid he could not attend the dinner.
"You two go meet Gu Yue, I have to rush over." Tang Lianfeng left in a hurry before he finished speaking, leaving only the two of them at the originally scheduled dinner.
In the luxurious club box, Gu Yue was unable to see Tang Lianfeng in person. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he still maintained a smile on his face and poured wine for Tang Jingyuan and Lu Anning.
"I respect you two, and I'm here to apologize on behalf of my younger sister. That night in the ancient building, she didn't know the rules and offended me. You shouldn't make too much of a fuss over a little girl like her. I've done it, and this matter is over."
As the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yue has always been the one to be toasted by others and asked to bow his head and apologize. This is the first time.
Gu Yue seemed polite, but there was still a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"Since it was all a misunderstanding, and Mr. Tang Er had already let out some rage at the auction, can you return those things to us? Don't worry, we'll buy them from Mr. Tang Er at the full price. In addition, we'll pay an extra five million as an apology. I've got the money ready!"
The man smiled politely, took out the check he had prepared long ago and pushed it in front of Tang Jingyuan. His purpose was clear and his tone was commanding.
Although it was an apology, even Lu Anning felt that the other party acted superior.
On the gentle face, a pair of fox eyes revealed an incongruous gleam, and every move seemed to be calculated.
She said she wanted to apologize, but the daughter of the Gu family didn't even show up, and the invitation was just for show.
Tang Jingyuan glanced at the check casually, chuckled, and pushed it back.
"Mr. Gu is an expert at business negotiations. He's decisive and clear-minded. But do you think the Tang family is short of this little money?"
Gu Yue frowned immediately. "What do you mean? Didn't I apologize on behalf of my little sister just now? What else do you want? Do you, the Tang family, want to nitpick over a little girl?"
"The rules of the ancient building are final. Everything belongs to the Tang family. If you want to buy it back, the prerequisite is that we want to sell it."
Gu Yue's face turned cold, and his tone was unfriendly: "Forget about the rest. That silk book is of no use to your Tang family. The Gu family deals in medicinal herbs, so giving it to us is the best use of them. Jingyuan, the Tang and Gu families have always been on good terms. There's no need to make things awkward over such a small matter, right?"
The Gu family is determined to get that silk book.
Tang Jingyuan chuckled disdainfully, "It's your Gu family who broke the rules. You wanted it, but you didn't raise the price at the auction. Now you're looking for a buyer later. That wouldn't look good if it got out. Miss Gu doesn't understand the rules, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue slammed his cup down on the table. "Jing Yuan, I'm trying to have a serious talk with you. Are you trying to break up with me with this attitude?"
"You're forcing the purchase without even asking the Tang family's opinion. You're the one who's going to break things off! I haven't been in Kyoto these years, and you, the Gu family, think you can control everything? Can you handle it?"
Gu Yue clenched his fists and suppressed his anger: "Tell me, what do you want me to give up the silk book?"
"This thing belongs to my second uncle. If you want it, go find him. This meal is quite boring. An Ning, let's go!"
Tang Jingyuan extended his hand to Lu Anning, who then stood up. Just as they were about to leave, Gu Yue suddenly called him.
"Tang Jingyuan, you were the one who got married first, and you were the one who didn't come to the Gu family banquet. Are you deliberately making things difficult for me? Xiaowu has suffered for more than 20 years away from home. Now that she's back, the Gu family won't let her suffer any injustice."
Tang Jingyuan glanced at Gu Yue: "Psycho."
After saying that, he took Lu An Ning's hand and left without looking back.
After coming out of the villa, Lu An Ning asked in surprise, "Didn't he think that you were deliberately making things difficult for him just because you were engaged to the Gu family, just to attract his sister's attention?"
After Lu Anning finished speaking, she laughed out loud. Is this world crazy or is she crazy?
