After Yi Wei got out of the car, he glanced at those people, and then followed Gu Yueshan inside with other assistants.
"What's wrong again?" Gu Yueshan asked the housekeeper. He knew that it was absolutely impossible for the two old ladies in the family to discuss anything calmly.
"The second old lady said that she wants to hold an engagement banquet for Young Master Gu Heng in the main house." said the housekeeper.
"Didn't you say that you had already booked a hotel? Why do you suddenly want to hold the engagement party at home?" Gu Yueshan frowned.
"Two days ago, after the gentleman went abroad, the two old ladies had a quarrel over a small matter. Yesterday afternoon, the second old lady suddenly said that she wanted to hold an engagement banquet at the main residence. The old lady said that it was against the rules and did not agree to it."
After Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's friends came to their senses, they immediately started discussing.
"How did Yi Wei get out of Director Gu's car? Did I see it right?"
"How could I be wrong? It's Yi Wei. Why would he be in the same car with Director Gu?!"
"Yes, Secretary Wu, who has been with Director Gu for more than ten years, got off from the car behind. He is just an intern assistant, so how did he get off from Director Gu's car?"
"Don't get excited yet. Maybe Director Gu just wanted to say something to him, so he let him get in the car."
"He is an intern assistant, and Secretary Wu is responsible for arranging work for him. What could Director Gu have to ask him?"
"I don't know about that, but can you think of any other reasons?"
Just as they were discussing why Yi Wei got out of Gu Yueshan's car, Yi Xuan was staring at Gu Yueshan's back in a daze.
The person Yi Xuan had a crush on before was Gu Yueshan. Gu Yueshan had been unmarried for many years. Yi Xuan felt that he had a hope to be with him, so every time Gu Heng confessed to him, he refused. But what made him completely give up was Gu Yueshan himself.
He happened to meet Gu Yueshan that day. Seeing that Gu Yueshan seemed to be a little uncomfortable and there was no one else around, he thought this was a good opportunity to get close to Gu Yueshan, so he went forward to care about Gu Yueshan. At that time, Gu Yueshan asked him to get out. Yi Xuan was frightened by Gu Yueshan's expression, but thinking that it was a rare opportunity to talk to Gu Yueshan alone in so many years, it would be a pity to miss it. At least he had to leave a deeper impression on him. So he reached out to touch Gu Yueshan, and then Gu Yueshan grabbed his neck and threw him down the stairs.
Yi Xuan fell down the stairs, his face was bruised and swollen, and now he was completely afraid of Gu Yueshan. Although he had heard that Gu Yueshan had violent tendencies before, he thought it was just a rumor. He thought that as the head of the Gu family, Gu Yueshan would not be able to control those people if he was not strict and ruthless. Those people in the Gu family were unwilling to accept this, so they spread some bad rumors. He had also seen Gu Yueshan many times over the years and felt that he did not seem like a violent person. But he didn't expect that he thought he would have the chance to be alone with Gu Yueshan, but after only saying two words, he was thrown down the stairs by Gu Yueshan. Only then did he believe the rumors were true.
Yi Xuan didn't dare to say that it was Gu Yueshan who threw him down the stairs, he just said that he fell down accidentally. However, after this incident, the godlike image of Gu Yueshan in his mind was also cast a shadow, which made him completely give up the idea of being with Gu Yueming. Because no matter how handsome a man is or how capable and resourceful he is, as long as he has a tendency to violence, you absolutely cannot even think of being with him.
"Yi Xuan, Yi Xuan?" Gu Heng saw Yi Xuan in a daze and gently pushed him.
Yi Xuan suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
"They are about to go back. Do you want to go to my mother first, or stay with me?" Gu Heng asked.
"I...will go with you." Yi Xuan said, "Do you think Director Gu will agree to us holding the engagement party here?"
"Don't worry, it was grandma who asked us to hold the engagement party here. As long as grandma tells Fourth Uncle in person, he won't disagree." Gu Heng held Yi Xuan's hand and comforted him, but he himself was unsure.
After Gu Yueshan walked into the hall, he glanced at his nominal mother, then at his biological mother, and then walked to the top seat in the middle and sat down. This kind of scene had happened more than once or twice, and he had long been accustomed to it.
"Mother and Second Aunt, what are you so angry about?" Gu Yueshan asked knowingly. His mother was his nominal mother, and his Second Aunt was his biological mother.
"I've been waiting for you to come back to tell you. I feel that this family hasn't had a wedding in many years, and I want to take advantage of Gu Heng's engagement to liven up the family and add some joy. This is obviously a good thing, and you will definitely not disagree. But some people are jealous of me having a grandson, so they insist on stopping me." Gu Yueshan's biological mother Xu Hua acted as if her son was back and someone was in charge.
"According to the rules set by our ancestors, no wedding or funeral banquets can be held in the main house except for the eldest wife." Gu Yueshan's nominal mother, Ye Feng, said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you have to change the rules of our ancestors just because you have a grandson?"
"These rules were set many years ago. What era is it now? Do we still have to follow the rules? Your thinking is too conservative." Xu Hua said unwillingly, "Besides, Yue Shan is the head of the family now. He has the right to change the family rules."
"Then Yue Shan, tell me, should this rule be changed or not?" Ye Feng said to Gu Yue Shan.
Ye Feng and her husband had a business marriage, and her husband had health problems, so they could not have children of their own. Gu Yueshan was the heir chosen by her father-in-law. Although he was adopted under the names of her and her husband and was nominally her son, Gu Yueshan was raised by her father-in-law himself and had no feelings for her. She has suffered in the Gu family for so many years. At this age, even if she has no children or grandchildren, she must fight for what she should fight for.
Back then, Xu Hua was very flattering to her, but after Gu Yueshan inherited the company and the Gu family, Ye Feng's true colors immediately showed up. She relied on the fact that she was Gu Yueshan's biological mother and ignored her at all times.
However, Xu Hua felt that her sister-in-law was extremely arrogant when she was young, and she had to endure her arrogance and be humble in everything for the sake of her husband and children's future. However, fate is fair after all. Now her own son is in charge. Ye Feng not only did not avoid her, but also confronted her everywhere. It was simply tactless.
Gu Yueshan put down his teacup and said calmly, "The rules set by our ancestors are naturally reasonable. If this precedent is set and others follow suit, then the Gu family will have to hold weddings every day."
Gu Heng and Yi Wei, who were standing outside listening, froze because of Gu Yueshan's words.
Ye Feng felt a lot more comfortable, because what Gu Yueshan said was obviously in her favor.
"Heng'er is your nephew, how can others be the same as him?" Xu Hua said with a reluctant look: "Since you don't agree to hold it in the main house, then hold it in the west side house where I live, is that okay?"
"Gu Heng is my cousin, just like Gu Chang and the others. There is no one special between them." Gu Yueshan said, "Besides, it's just an engagement. This is not his first engagement. If he gets engaged ten times, does that mean he has to hold ten engagement banquets?"
Xu Hua said angrily: "What are you talking about?!"
"Yueshan, you have to manage the company and the family at the same time. You just returned to China and you don't have time to rest. It's really too hard." Ye Feng looked at Gu Yueshan and said gently with a loving mother's expression: "Go and have a rest."
"Okay, if mother and Second Aunt haven't finished their conversation, please continue. I'm indeed a little tired, so I won't accompany you." After saying this, Gu Yueshan got up and went back to his room.
Yi Wei stood among Gu Yueshan's assistants, watched the scene silently, then followed Gu Yueshan into his courtyard.
After Gu Yueshan left, Ye Feng stood up and said with a smile: "I am a little tired too. If you want to sit for a while, I won't accompany you."
Xu Hua stood up angrily and walked out quickly.
Gu Heng and Yi Xuan, who were standing outside, looked at Xu Hua as he walked out angrily, then looked at each other and quickly followed him.
These two old ladies in the Gu family are not easy to deal with. In the Gu family, they represent not only themselves, but also the interests of the Gu family behind them and the interests of their respective families.
Although Gu Yueshan was not close to these two old ladies, he still showed them the proper respect. He would not completely favor Xu Hua just because she was his biological mother, nor would he ignore Ye Feng just because she was not his biological mother. What he needed was the people behind them to check and balance each other, so he would never completely favor one side.
Yi Wei followed Gu Yueshan to his yard. The construction style of the Gu family was a combination of classical and modern styles, while Gu Yueshan's yard was in ancient style, but it did not have that old and outdated feeling. Instead, it was neat, grand, and spotlessly clean, a brand new look.
Following Gu Yueshan into the outer hall of his room, after the two sat down, Gu Yueshan looked at Yi Wei and said, "You will live in Haitangyuan for the time being. After you register your marriage, you will live here. You can choose any room you want."
Yi Wei particularly liked this spacious, bright, wooden room. He said to Gu Yueshan, "I'll live in this room."
Gu Yueshan paused for a moment as he picked up the teacup, looked at Yi Wei and said, "This is my room."
"I know." Yi Wei pretended to be confused and said, "I'm going to marry you, can't I sleep in the same room with you?"
"It's up to you." Gu Yueshan said, "Let's register for marriage in a few days. What do you want to do with the wedding?"
"Let's not have the wedding." Yi Wei discussed with Gu Yueshan, "I hope that after we register, we won't make public the fact that we're married. I hope to give birth to the child peacefully. I don't want someone to curse the child from being born all the time while the child is still in my belly."
"It's okay not to make it public for the time being," Gu Yueshan agreed, "If you have any other requests, think about them within the next two days."
Yi Wei didn't have any requirements for himself, but in order to provide adequate protection for his children, he had to make some requests.
