Chapter 123 A Magnificent Welcome You In
The atmosphere in the living room was originally harmonious and pleasant.
The dishes have been placed on the table, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Gu Huojun took out a piece of jade green from a sandalwood box.
A jadeite bangle with excellent translucency.
He carefully placed it in Lin Wei's hand, his eyes filled with solemnity.
"Weiwei, this is the bracelet that Jingcheng's mother cherished most when she was alive."
He said he wanted to pass it on to his future daughter-in-law.
"It's a blessing for the Gu family to have you as their son, and it's also a blessing for our Gu family."
Gu Huojun gave Gu Jingcheng a slightly reproachful look.
"According to the rules, the two families should have been formally summoned first."
After agreeing on the wedding etiquette, we'll welcome you into our home in style.
Who would have thought this kid was in such a hurry, getting the marriage certificate without consulting anyone first… I'm really sorry to have put you through this.”
Gu Jingcheng stood to the side, a faint smile on his lips, without refuting.
To his surprise, his father accepted Lin Wei just like that.
My father used to say that.
They'd rather he remain a bachelor for life than allow him to be with Lin Wei.
A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Gu Huojun looked at Lin Wei, his tone sincere.
"But don't worry, you'll be treated with the proper etiquette."
We'll take care of the family just as well as you.
What other people's wives have, you'll only have more of.
I will definitely visit your parents in person another day and set a good date.
"Let's discuss the wedding arrangements properly between our two families, and we'll make sure you don't suffer any injustice."
Lin Wei finally felt relieved.
She originally thought that Gu Huojun minded that she had been engaged to Gu Xuan.
Will not accept her
Now it seems she was overthinking it.
However, judging from the quality and clarity of this bracelet, it is at least a family heirloom.
Its value is incalculable, it's too precious for her to accept.
"Uncle, this is too precious, I..."
Before he could finish speaking...
The living room door was pushed open with a bang.
Zhao Qiluo's delicate yet affected voice rang out.
"Dad, you have to stand up for me!"
Zhao Qiluo barged in, her face feigning grievance.
He stopped in his tracks when he suddenly saw Lin Wei in the living room.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to look serious or aggrieved.
What is she doing here?
Gu Xuan, that good-for-nothing, said he could win over Lin Wei right away.
Are you suggesting she sit and wait for the Lin family to come and propose marriage?
His gaze inadvertently fell on the bracelet on Lin Wei's hand.
My heart skipped a beat.
She recognized the bracelet at a glance!
It was that old hag's precious possession that she never parted with when she was alive.
It is said to be a family heirloom of the Gu family, priceless.
It is also a symbol of a family-oriented female head of the household.
She's been married into the Gu family for so many years, and she's hinted at it countless times, both openly and subtly.
The old man pretended to be deaf and dumb, and never said he would give the bracelet to his eldest daughter-in-law.
Now... now it's been given to Lin Wei so easily?
A surge of insane jealousy spread through her chest.
On what grounds? Who does Lin Wei even belong to?
Zhao Qiluo's eyes darted back and forth between the three people.
My heart skipped a beat.
This setup clearly indicates that Gu Jingcheng brought Lin Wei to meet his parents.
Have they progressed this far?
That useless Gu Xuan actually lied to her.
For a moment, Zhao Qiluo forgot the purpose of her visit.
All I could see and thought about was that glaring bracelet.
Why? She's the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family!
She gave birth to the Gu family's eldest grandson, so if this bracelet is to be passed down, it should be passed to her!
How could we give it to Lin Wei, an outsider?
Zhao Qiluo's voice changed slightly.
"Dad, isn't this bracelet Mom's most treasured possession?"
How...how could you give it to Lin Wei?
“I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family, so this should be passed down to me.”
Gu Huojun looked at the woman with a distorted face.
A surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
This woman dared to cheat on his eldest son, Gu Yannian.
He used an illegitimate child to impersonate the eldest grandson of the Gu family, deceiving the Gu family for so many years.
How dare he stand here, coveting the bracelet left by his deceased wife?
Gu Huojun was so angry that his chest heaved, but considering it was Lin Wei's first visit,
He forcefully suppressed the reprimand.
His expression instantly darkened, and he gave instructions to the butler.
"Take her to the side courtyard and wait!"
But Zhao Qiluo was unwilling to leave.
She watched as the priceless bracelet was about to fall into Lin Wei's hands.
My eyes are filled with jealousy.
That bitch, she was supposed to be her son's woman.
In the blink of an eye, she climbed into Gu Jingcheng's bed and became his sister-in-law.
How could she possibly swallow this insult!
She shoved the housekeeper aside.
"Dad, you can't be so biased."
I am the eldest daughter-in-law who was formally married into the Gu family.
Lin Wei hasn't even entered the family yet, and you've already given her Mom's belongings?
I've been with the Gu family for so many years; even if I haven't done anything particularly outstanding, I've certainly put in a lot of hard work.
"We've been struggling to keep the Gu Group afloat, and this is how you bully us, a widow and her children?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Huojunlie coughed, his face turning red.
He squeezed out a single word through his teeth.
"roll!"
Zhao Qiluo was so frightened that she froze on the spot, her face turning deathly pale.
She had never seen Gu Huojun so angry.
Moreover, he made no attempt to conceal his disgust towards her.
I have touched the old man's sore spot.
Since we can't get the bracelet, then it's a matter for the company.
That old geezer should at least do something about it.
She quickly put on a victim's face.
"Dad, even if you're angry with me..."
We can't ignore company matters; Jingcheng... he was at the group yesterday.
To dismiss me from my post in front of so many people...
The Gu family is where Yan Nian has devoted his heart and soul, and Gu Xuan is Yan Nian's only son.
Jingcheng is trying to force my son and me to our deaths so he can monopolize the Gu family.
You must stand up for me.
The atmosphere in the living room plummeted to freezing point.
The smile on Gu Huojun's face vanished instantly, and his brows furrowed.
Gu Jingcheng stood up with a cold look in his eyes.
He knew that his father was hesitant to lash out because it was Lin Wei's first visit.
I wouldn't even deign to speak to this despicable person.
But he will not tolerate this shameless woman.
"Butler, call a few men and throw this shrew out."
-
A few days later.
Gu's Group has officially released a major personnel change announcement.
To adapt to the Group's strategic development needs, the Board of Directors has resolved that
Internal personnel adjustments will be made.
Ms. Zhao Qiluo is hereby dismissed from her position as general manager, effective immediately.
Mr. Gu Xuan has been appointed as the new General Manager of the Gu Group.
The news caused an uproar.
Many people remarked that the old man of the Gu family ultimately valued the bloodline of his eldest son.
Even though Gu Xuan was an incompetent fool, the company's important responsibilities were still entrusted to him.
I just don't know,
Can the Gu Group withstand the mismanagement of this spendthrift son?
Cloud Top Villa.
Gu Xuan, wearing a tattered shirt, was brought up by bodyguards.
His eyes were unfocused, and the charming demeanor he used to feign was long gone.
The moment he saw Lin Wei, his pupils focused.
They were shouting wildly.
"You bitch, don't think you can do anything to me just because you've hooked up with my uncle."
I am the eldest grandson of the Gu family; Gu Jingcheng wouldn't dare kill me.
"Once I get out of here, I will definitely not let you get away with this."
The bodyguard punched him in the chest.
Gu Xuan instantly collapsed to the ground and curled up.
"Madam, the person has been brought up."
Lin Wei sat lazily on the leather sofa, and several bodyguards sensibly withdrew.
Lin Wei looked at the personnel appointments with satisfaction.
A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
The game has only just begun.
She was determined to personally elevate Gu Xuan to the position he had always dreamed of.
Give him power, give him status, give him the illusion of being the center of attention.
It made him arrogant, lost his way, and allowed him to fully experience the pleasure of being admired and fawned over.
Then, throw him hard off that spot.
Past flattery will become the harshest mockery.
Everything he once possessed will become slaps across his face.
Ultimately, he will become that penniless orphan again.
He had nothing and was subjected to ridicule.
