After the two families agreed on all the wedding matters, they drove to the Oriental Hotel. Yun Jianguo met a group of old business friends in the hotel. He happily acted as a middleman and introduced Mr. Gu and Gu's father to these old friends who played an important role in Beijing.
Mr. Gu was determined to develop in the mainland, so connections were essential. He accepted Yun Jianguo's kindness and naturally went along with it, introducing himself.
"My name is Gu Zhenzhong, and this is my son, Gu Chengsi. It is a great honor to meet you all today."
Gu Zhenzhong! Gu Chengsi! The names of this father and son had long been known throughout the mainland. They were the richest men in Hong Kong! They were the most influential figures in Hong Kong! The business leaders present were so familiar with these names that they all stood up and respectfully invited the Gu father and son to take a seat.
Gu Zhenzhong politely declined, "Everyone, let's get together next time. Today, I'm discussing the marriage with my in-laws."
"relatives by marriage?"
"I wonder which daughter of the Gu family is getting married?"
Everyone looked back and someone recognized Yun Muye, the eldest son of the Yun family who was away serving in the army. Old Master Gu smiled and said,
"My granddaughter, Gu Zhinian and Yun Muye, the eldest son of the Yun family. This is my only precious granddaughter."
Yun Muye took Gu Zhinian's hand and walked forward, greeting everyone one by one.
"Hello, Uncle Liu! Hello, Uncle Wang! Hello, Uncle Zhang... This is my wife, Gu Zhinian."
Gu Zhinian smiled slightly and greeted her openly. Everyone wanted to curry favor with the daughter of the Gu family and recognize her so that they could go back and ask their wives and daughters to come and make friends with her.
"The daughter of the Gu family is truly beautiful. She and Muye are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
"Yes! Yes! I have watched Makino grow up. He is honest and kind, a good child."
"Congratulations, Mr. Yun, for having such a wonderful daughter-in-law."
"Congratulations!"
Everyone came forward to congratulate the two families and asked, "When is the wedding scheduled?"
Yun Muye replied:
"Uncles, if you have time, come to our wedding on the sixth day of this month."
"Okay! Okay! We'll definitely go! We'll definitely go!"
After saying goodbye to everyone, the Yun family and the Gu family went to a private room to eat.
After this day, the Gu family had no free time. There was an endless stream of people visiting them every day. Some people even held banquets and invited the Gu family to attend. Old Mrs. Gu and Madam Gu were exhausted from seeing guests every day and wanted to refuse.
Gu Zhinian took the invitation and said, "Grandma, Mom, I'll go. I'll also make some friends."
Mrs. Gu asked,
"Don't you dislike this kind of occasion?"
Gu Zhinian held his mother's hand.
"I'm the granddaughter of the Gu family. Things like this are bound to happen again in the future. I can't just hide behind you all the time and act like a little girl who knows nothing!"
Mrs. Gu patted her hands with satisfaction.
"My family has grown up and become sensible. Okay! Then go ahead! Bring two bodyguards to protect your safety."
"good."
Mrs. Gu hired a makeup artist to do Gu Zhinian's makeup and hair, and she also spent a lot of money to personally choose a light blue slim-fitting dress for her.
Old Mr. Gu was worried, so he asked Gu Juan to accompany him. At eight o'clock that night, Gu Zhinian and Gu Juan got in the car, and the driver took them to the banquet hall.
Gu Juan, wearing a black custom-made suit, stepped out of the car, turned around and ran to the other side, opened the door with one hand, and protected his sister out of the car with the other hand. Gu Zhinian walked in holding his brother's hand.
Everyone present looked at the brother and sister. Many girls were there for Gu Juan. If they could marry Gu Juan and become the future Mrs. Gu of the Gu family, their status would instantly rise to a level that everyone would look up to.
As soon as Gu Juan appeared, everyone came up to talk to him and try to get close to him. The women present set their sights on Gu Zhinian and surrounded him, praising and flattering him.
"Miss Gu is truly stunningly beautiful. I'm sure Madam Gu was also a great beauty when she was young."
Look how good she is at talking. She praised both the mother and daughter of the Gu family in one sentence. Gu Zhinian is indeed beautiful, with glowing white skin. The slim-fitting dress sets off her graceful figure, making her as noble as a white swan.
Something happened on Gu Juan's side. Two girls competed to toast Gu Juan and accidentally spilled wine on his suit. The two girls rushed forward to take off Gu Juan's coat and wash his clothes, but Gu Juan refused with a cold face.
Gu Zhinian walked over and frowned at his wet suit. He turned around and told the bodyguard to get another suit from the car. A girl in a pink dress walked forward.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I accidentally wet Master Gu's suit. I can wash it for him and send it to him tomorrow."
Another girl in a white dress argued:
"It's not you, it's all my fault. I got Mr. Gu's suit wet. Mr. Gu, take off your clothes and I'll wash them for you."
The two girls refused to give in, and both said that they got wet. Gu Zhinian looked at the two people arguing in silence.
"Girls, you don't have to wash it. If you really feel bad about it, just pay for it. My brother's suit is custom-made. It costs 15,000 yuan. Pay up!"
The two girls were dumbfounded. Where could they get 15,000 yuan for her? They immediately shirked responsibility.
"You just said you got it wet, so you pay for it!"
"What does it have to do with me? It's obviously you!"
Gu Juan was used to seeing all kinds of tricks used by girls in Hong Kong, and this kind of childish trick was not to his liking. The bodyguard came over with a new suit. Gu Juan took off his coat and threw it to the bodyguard, put on the new suit, and took his sister to the other side.
The two girls lowered their heads in shame and anger, their faces burning with pain.
Gu Juan got to know the important people in the business world and took his sister home directly.
Gu Zhinian took off her high heels and sat on a chair to rub her feet. Mother Gu looked at her red and swollen feet with distress.
"Auntie Zhang, go get some medicine for injuries."
Gu Zhinian said:
"Mom, I'm fine. I haven't worn high heels in a long time, so I'm not used to it!"
"Don't wear high heels anymore. You're not short."
Little Tangyuan brought a pair of his mother's flat shoes, squatted on the ground and placed them at her feet.
"Mom, change into comfortable shoes."
Gu Zhinian lowered his head and touched his hair.
"Thank you, babe."
"You're welcome!" Little Tangyuan put the high heels far away, "Mom, don't wear high heels in the future. Mom is still very beautiful without high heels."
Gu Zhinian put on flat shoes, picked up the little Tangyuan, and kissed her fair and tender face.
"Baby is also very beautiful, mommy loves you the most!"
Little Tangyuan lay shyly in her mother's arms.
Time soon arrived and it was the day before the wedding. Colleagues from the court all dressed up to attend the wedding, and Han Li and Zhou Zhichuan also arrived.
The girls gathered around Gu Zhinian and chatted, while the men were invited to the other side and were personally entertained by Gu Juan. These were all his sister's friends, and Gu Juan entertained them with 100% sincerity.
At the Yun family, Li Yuling directed the nanny to clean the house thoroughly. Wedding characters were posted on the doors and windows. People came to congratulate them one after another. Yun Muye and Yun Langqian were also busy entertaining the guests, while Yun Shuang entertained the female relatives who came to help.
