Chapter 192 Invitation
In the past few days, Yao Yue has repeatedly hinted to Gong Mingwei to take them to the full moon banquet. Gong Mingwei has understood what Yao Yue means, but he is still very afraid of Old Man Gong and does not have the courage to bring his lover and illegitimate child to him for the time being.
"Mingwei, I want to take Wenjie and others to attend the full moon banquet. Wenjie is married, but his wife hasn't met her grandfather yet." Seeing that Gong Mingwei never responded to her, Yao Yue spoke directly this time.
Hearing this, Gong Mingwei was not very happy. Usually Yao Yue was very understanding. Normally, she would not bring up something if she saw that he was unwilling to do so. What happened this time?
"What's wrong with you recently? Don't you know that my dad doesn't like you? You are rushing forward to bring bad luck upon yourself. Aren't you putting me in a difficult position?" Gong Mingwei said bluntly. He never spoke carefully in front of Yao Yue.
This is also determined by the relationship between the two. Even though outsiders may see how much Gong Mingwei loves Yao Yue, in fact, the two have never been equal, and it has always been Yao Yue who has been trying to please Gong Mingwei.
It’s just that Yao Yue knows Gong Mingwei very well and knows how to make Gong Mingwei do things according to her ideas. Although she seems to be the weaker party, she is the dominant one in most things.
Gong Mingwei's reaction at this moment was completely within Yao Yue's expectations, and she naturally knew how to deal with it.
"Mingwei, if I wanted to make things difficult for you, how could I have followed you for more than 30 years without any status? I am telling you this today not for myself, but for you and the child." Yao Yue sighed and said with some grievance.
"To the old man, I am the only outsider. You, Wenjie, Yingying, and Yingjie are all his relatives. If it were for my own sake, why would I bother to go and cause trouble in front of the old man?"
"Your daughter-in-law, Qian Muchue, comes from such a poor family, but now she has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Look how much the old man likes her now. He held such a big full-month banquet for her children. It can be seen that the old man really likes children."
"The old man has a problem with me, but Wenjie and the others are his relatives. Even though he says he doesn't recognize them, how could he really dislike his own grandson? People's feelings are cultivated. Wenjie and the others can't see the old man, so how could he treat them like Gong Chen?"
"At this rate, the old man might one day give all the Gong family's belongings to Gong Chen and his children. By then, not only will I and the children be pitiful, but even you might not have a place to stand. As a father, you know Gong Chen's character."
"If the old man is gone one day, will he still recognize you as his father?"
Yao Yue explained earnestly, especially the last few words, which touched Gong Mingwei's heart.
He has always known that Mr. Gong favors Gong Chen. If that day really comes, the old man may really give everything to Gong Chen. Then, would he, as a father, be forced to make a living with his son? Just thinking about it, Gong Mingwei couldn't accept it.
"Then what do you mean?" Gong Mingwei asked sternly. He was a very patriarchal man and could not accept asking a woman for advice.
"You men are all thinking about big things, not these little things. This full moon banquet is a particularly good opportunity. If the old man is in a good mood, Wenjie and his three children, along with Wan'er and the baby in Wan'er's belly, will be together as a family. How can the old man not be happy when he sees it?"
"Seeing Wenjie and the other kids with your own eyes, do you think the old man would be willing to give up all his other grandchildren just for Gong Chen? The old man is so old, isn't he just looking for a family reunion at this time?"
Yao Yue was very good at guessing Gong Mingwei's thoughts. She first confirmed that Gong Mingwei was thinking about big things and what she was talking about was a small matter. In this way, when Gong Mingwei listened to her again, he would not feel repulsed.
Sure enough, although Gong Mingwei did not show it on his face, he agreed with what Yao Yue said in his heart. How could a grandfather not recognize his grandson? His father was just being stubborn.
"Well, let me think about it. You should also tell Wenjie and the others not to cause trouble outside." Gong Mingwei said arrogantly.
Yao Yue knew him so well, and seeing him like this, she knew that the matter was almost done. Gong Mingwei was Mr. Gong's biological son, so it was very easy for him to get a few invitations to the full moon banquet. If that didn't work, as the host, he could also bring a few people in directly.
"Don't worry, Wenjie is married now, and all his attention is on the company and Wan'er. Yingying has been very well-behaved since she was a child, as you know. Now when she has nothing to do, she just hangs out with some girlfriends. Yingjie is still in school, and his test scores have been good recently." Yao Yue said with a smile. She knew the situation of her three children very well, which was very consistent with the image of a good wife and mother she created.
In this regard, Yao Yue and Xie Ying are two completely different people. Yao Yue's battlefield is with children and men, while Xie Ying's battlefield is at work. But for Gong Mingwei, no matter how great Xie Ying's achievements outside, they are not as good as Yao Yue.
In particular, Xie Ying's work ability is far higher than Gong Mingwei's. This man will not acknowledge his wife's excellence, but will only slander her in other aspects, as if this can prove that his wife Xie Ying is marrying above her station.
Sure enough, the day before the full moon banquet, Gong Mingwei gave Yao Yue several invitations. Before that, Yao Yue had prepared clothes for Gong Yingying and Gong Yingjie to wear to the banquet.
Gong Yingying still has some expectations for her grandfather whom she has never met. Although she has always thought that the old man is a stubborn old man, this old man is not an ordinary person. He owns a business empire. The weak will undoubtedly have a kind of admiration for the strong, and Gong Yingying is just like that.
As for Gong Wenjie, he had hit a wall in front of Old Master Gong last time, so he was not interested in showing up in front of the old man. However, there would be many guests with powerful family backgrounds at the Gong family's full moon banquet, which made him very interested.
However, Zhao Wan really didn't want to attend the full moon banquet. She could tell with her toes that Qian Muchue would be the most popular woman at the banquet. Why should she go to see the woman she hated and be complimented and proud by everyone?
Especially since she attended the event as the wife of Gong Mingwei's illegitimate son. During this period, she realized that as a rich girl, marrying an illegitimate son like Gong Wenjie would lower her status.
If she hadn't paid so much, and hadn't had the baby in her belly, she might have chosen to divorce Gong Wenjie. Gong Wenjie was an incompetent man who couldn't protect his wife and was completely incomparable to Gong Chen.
But the reality is that Zhao Wan can only take one step at a time. Too many people are watching her, and she absolutely cannot accept others laughing at her.
