Chapter 6: The Gu family is in turmoil, and Gu Beiyan adds fuel to the fire
Gu Beiyan did not reply to any of Guo Yueze's messages. After sending the friend request, he went straight back to Gu's house.
Yesterday's engagement party became the talk of the entire Jiangcheng. If I go back now, I can not only watch the show, but also add fuel to the fire and make this marriage completely fail.
Thinking back to last night, Shengsheng was lying under me, her eyes as bright and clear as peeled lychees, her thick eyelashes curled upwards, and when she smiled, her lips had small dimples that were filled with fine wine, so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
She is so bright and proud. How can a useless guy like Gu Hongyu be worthy of being with Shengsheng?
It's good like this now, allowing Shengsheng to see the true face of this muddy guy, wake up completely, and get the relationship back on track.
He also didn't have to kidnap the bride in public as he had planned, making the situation even more out of control.
As expected, as soon as Gu Beiyan stepped into the Gu family's gate with his right foot, his second sister-in-law's angry curse penetrated the yard and reached his ears.
Outsiders say that although the Gu family is a top wealthy family, the family members are inexplicably harmonious.
The one who made the greatest contribution was the non-competitive Second Master of the Gu family. The Second Wife was well-known for her virtue and dignity and was regarded as a model wife.
But since he was taken back to the Gu family at the age of eight, Gu Beiyan has seen too much of the evil and ugliness of human nature that outsiders cannot see.
"You are really going too far. At the engagement party yesterday, you actually left Shengsheng alone. The whole city of Jiangcheng watched you stand her up. How can she face people in the future? Where will your father and I save our reputation in the future? How can we face the Xu family and Shengsheng's parents in the future?"
Gu Hongyu retorted emotionally.
"I've already told you guys that Xu Nansheng and I no longer have feelings for each other. I only have Qing'er in my heart now. It was you who insisted on holding the engagement banquet to force me to submit.
She brought it upon herself, and she deserves to be laughed at!
As for you, aren’t you tired of being hypocritical all day long? ”
Gong Mishuang raised his hand and was about to teach this unfilial son a lesson when he heard a clear sound of footsteps. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and when they saw who was coming, they were all stunned.
Gu Beiyan? Why is he back?
In the center of sight, Gu Beiyan took off his suit jacket and hung it on his arm, and his black leather shoes fell to the ground, making a clacking sound.
He was tall, and even wearing a shirt couldn't hide the violent aura in his body. When he looked at people with his sharp black eyes, it seemed as if he wanted to tear them to pieces, which made people afraid.
When those sharp dark eyes looked at Gu Hongyu who was kneeling in the middle of the hall, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
When he looked up at everyone again, he had that cold and aloof look of a living devil again.
When he left Gu's house, he was only 22 years old. Although he was more mature than his peers and had a sense of being mature beyond his years, he did not give people as much oppressive feeling as he does now.
Gu Baichuan, who was standing beside Gong Mishuang, spoke first. His voice was gentle and his smile was as kind as ever.
"Beiyan, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me so I could ask Hongyu to pick you up at the airport."
Gu Beiyan nodded slightly in greeting, his lips curled up slightly, but his smile did not reach his eyes.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law."
After calling out to the person, he walked straight to Gu Yanjun who was sitting right above him and called out respectfully.
"Brother."
The three brothers of the Gu family have a big age gap between them.
The eldest brother, Gu Yanjun, is 65 years old this year, with gray hair. He is the person who has been in charge of the Gu family business for the longest time and is now the person in charge of the Gu family.
He has had three wives and has two sons and two daughters.
Because of the age difference, and the fact that Gu Yanjun had been particularly caring and loving towards Gu Beiyan since childhood, there were rumors that Gu Beiyan was actually Gu Yanjun's illegitimate son.
The second son, Gu Baichuan, is respectfully called the Second Master by everyone in Jiangcheng. He is Gu Hongyu’s father. He is 50 years old this year. His wife, Gong Mishuang, is their childhood sweetheart, from school uniforms to wedding dresses.
Everyone knows that the second master of the Gu family is a Buddhist. He does not fight for property or power. He is only focused on taking care of flowers and plants with his wife. From time to time, he goes to the temple to worship Buddha and stay there for ten days or half a month.
But only a very few people know that if the accident many years ago had not taken Gu Yanjun away, the person in charge of the Gu family now would be this Buddhist second master.
The third child, Gu Beiyan, was the illegitimate son of Mr. Ji who was left alone in his old age. When he was eight years old, his biological mother died of illness and he was found and brought back to the Gu family to be raised.
He has been trained as the successor since he was a child, and everyone thought that the coming-of-age ceremony would be the time when he was announced to take over the group. Suddenly, Gu Beiyan was in a car accident, and then he was kidnapped and suffered food poisoning, with accidents happening frequently.
Eight years ago, when Gu Beiyan was 22 years old, he was suddenly exiled to Europe by Gu Yanjun on the pretext of developing overseas markets.
He came back suddenly today without saying hello to anyone. He suddenly appeared in the Gu family's old house, giving everyone a big "surprise".
Including his elder brother Gu Yanjun who has always loved him.
At this moment, although Gu Yanjun was surprised, he also expected it. He glanced at him and simply nodded in response, "Are you back?"
"Well, I came back after hearing that Hongyu got engaged."
Hearing this, Gu Yanjun paused holding the teacup and his face darkened.
In the hall, Gong Mishuang was still scolding his son.
"That Liang Xueqing obviously wants to use you as a springboard to become a phoenix. You are the only one who is blind and cannot see this little trick.
Besides, in terms of appearance, family background, knowledge, character and personality, she is not as good as Shengsheng in everything. You are really used to eating delicacies from land and sea, so you think a pile of shit on the roadside smells special! ”
Gu Baichuan stood up, put his arm around his wife's shoulders, patted her to comfort her, and helped persuade his son.
"Times have changed. We no longer care about being well-matched, nor do we require you to marry a rich girl for a business marriage.
But Hongyu, you have to know that you should marry a virtuous wife. Liang Xueqing's character is definitely not enough to pass the test of your mother and me. ”
Liang Xueqing was one of the many children sponsored by the Xu family back then. Fortunately, she and Xu Nansheng became college classmates and good friends.
As soon as I graduated from college, I joined the Xu family company, a place that others might not be able to get into even if they tried their best.
She received all the kindness from the Xu family, but in the end she turned against them and seduced Gu Hongyu, who was engaged to her, behind Xu Nansheng's back. On the day of the engagement, she deliberately crashed her car and called Gu Hongyu away, leaving Xu Nansheng alone at the engagement party, becoming a laughing stock in the entire Jiangcheng.
It also brought shame to him and his wife.
With such scheming and ungratefulness, they would never let her in.
Only a brat like Gu Hongyu, who is blinded by beauty, can't see clearly.
No matter what Gu Baichuan and Gong Mishuang said, Gu Hongyu insisted that he would not marry anyone but Liang Xueqing.
"If you don't agree, I will elope with Qing'er and never come back!"
"Asshole!"
Gu Baichuan, who was always gentle and polite, also became angry and immediately raised his hand and slapped Gu Hongyu's right cheek.
Bang!
There was a loud slap, and in the noisy hall you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Hongyu's eyes were red as he looked at his parents as if they were enemies. At this moment, Gu Beiyan, who had been keeping out of the matter, suddenly spoke. His words were understated, but in this dead silence, every word was heard by Gu Hongyu.
"If you really don't want to, forget it. You've forced the child into this state."
Gu Yanjun frowned and cursed him softly, "Why are you meddling in the affairs of the Second Brother's family?"
"Isn't this because you feel sorry for the child?"
Although he is called a child, he is actually only eight years older than Gu Hongyu.
He spoke calmly, but it rekindled the hope and anger of Gu Hongyu, who had lost his temper. He stood up and questioned angrily.
"In your hearts, I am not as important as Xu Nansheng, right?
Are you my parents or her parents? ”
Even his uncle, who has always been the most indifferent and heartless, knows to feel sorry for him and speaks for him, but his parents keep forcing him regardless of his wishes!
The more Gu Hongyu thought about it, the angrier he became. He lost his mind and became outspoken.
"You keep saying that you don't need me to enter into a business marriage, but ask yourselves honestly, do you dare to say that you want me to marry Xu Nansheng because you are attracted by the Xu family's financial resources and influence?
You keep saying that you are a Buddhist and have no intention of fighting for the family property. You have been suppressed by your uncle for so many years. Do you dare to say that you really have no intention of fighting for power?
Are you sure you don't want to rely on the Xu family to increase your bargaining chips for seizing power? ”
Gu Hongyu's roar was deafening, like a sharp sword that tore apart the fig leaf of Gu Baichuan and his wife, and also tore apart the false harmony of the Gu family.
Gu Baichuan picked up the golf club next to him and prepared to hit it.
"You bastard, not only are you living a mess, but you're also trying to sow discord between me and your uncle. I'll break your dog legs!"
Suddenly, the hall was in chaos and it was very noisy.
At this moment, Gu Yanjun threw the teacup in his hand out with force.
Bang!
Porcelain pieces shattered to the ground, tea splashed on the ground, and hot steam rose.
"That's enough! How long are you going to make such a fuss?!"
As soon as Gu Yanjun opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
Gu Baichuan and Gu Hongyu, father and son, glared at each other, and were frozen in place because of his words, not daring to take the next step.
Only Gu Beiyan was leisurely holding the teacup, sipping the fragrance of tea, and humming a song proudly in his heart.
This piece of shit is still the same as before, brainless.
Go ahead and argue, make a fuss, but in three days Shengsheng will be my wife.
Gu Yanjun spoke with a dark face.
“Second brother, who Hongyu wants to marry is your family affair, I have no right to interfere.
But the relationship with the Xu family must be handled well. Now Shengsheng is being laughed at because of Hongyu. You have to handle this matter within three days.
If you can't handle it, I'll take it. ”
After saying that, Gu Yanjun stood up with his crutches.
He had an accident in his early years and suffered a hidden injury in his right leg, making it difficult for him to walk.
The crutch in his hand was given to him by Gu Beiyan.
After walking a few steps away, Gu Yanjun turned around, looked at him, and spoke in a cold and harsh voice.
"Come with me."
Gu Beiyan responded calmly, put down his teacup, stood up, and followed his elder brother to the study.
When passing by Gu Hongyu, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder gently, as if to encourage him, which made Gu Hongyu surprised and ecstatic.
Does my uncle agree with me?
