At this moment, Lin Xinyi kept silently cheering herself on, determined not to act impulsively and ruin things.
Lin Xinyi's attitude made Madam Gu feel like she had punched cotton, and she felt very frustrated. She snorted and turned to leave the room.
He had only walked a few steps out of the room when he saw the Gu family head and his son, Gu Ziming.
The head of the Gu family was somewhat surprised to see his wife. "What are you doing here? Didn't you go downstairs to entertain the guests?"
Madam Gu looked disgusted and said in an extremely dissatisfied tone, "Going down there, won't we just be laughed at by those noble ladies for our Gu family picking up trash that the Chu family didn't want? I can't afford to lose face like that!"
The reason for disliking Lin Xinyi was not only because her status was not worthy of the Chu family, but also because of the news that came out after they announced Gu Ziming and Lin Xinyi's engagement banquet.
No one offered congratulations; most people were just watching the show and mocking their family-oriented nature.
Therefore, Madam Gu really disliked Lin Xinyi and was very dissatisfied and angry with the choice made by the Gu family father and son.
Gu Ziming's face instantly turned very ugly as the trash was picked up.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lin Xinyi, who was inside the room, curiously approached the door and listened to the Gu family arguing in the hallway.
Hearing Madam Gu mention him again, he clenched his fists nervously, a ferocious look on his face, and cursed inwardly, "That damned woman, she's making fun of me again!"
Fearing that the Gu family head and Gu Ziming might change their minds, Lin Xinyi still stood anxiously at the door listening to their conversation.
The head of the Gu family glared at Madam Gu with displeasure. "Alright, enough of this nonsense! The matter is settled, and as the lady of the house, you must leave!"
Madam Gu still looked resentful. "I just don't understand why you and your son insisted on letting that little bitch marry into our Gu family. Now look how our Gu family is being ridiculed!"
The Gu family head and Gu Ziming never intended to let Madam Gu know about Master Liu's existence, let alone involve him in their plans.
If it weren't for the fact that Gu Ziming was his son, the Gu family head wouldn't have wanted him to know.
Therefore, the explanation given to Madam Gu remained the same.
"Let the children handle their own affairs! Who says that a family that is on par with our Gu family will necessarily help us? My sister's situation is a perfect example!"
The Gu family head reprimanded her with dissatisfaction, directly using Gu Ying's matter to shut his wife up.
Sure enough, Madam Gu's face turned very ugly after hearing this.
Madam Gu also disliked her sister-in-law Gu Ying, and always flaunted her status in front of her, relying on the Chu family's prestige.
Gu Ying's current situation has made Madam Gu feel much better.
"But it can't be this woman either. You all know about her and Chu Yiting!"
Gu Ziming explained to Lin Xinyi, "I've investigated, it's all a misunderstanding!"
"The matter is already settled. Are we going to call off the engagement now? My family would lose even more face! We'll talk about it later!"
Judging from the resolute attitude of the father and son, she was just short of inviting a master to their home to check if the Gu family head and his son were under some kind of evil spell.
Madam Gu waved her hand weakly, "Whatever! Wen can go now!"
After saying that, Madam Gu didn't want to hear the Gu family head and his son say anything more.
The attitude of the Gu family father and son made Lin Xinyi, who was eavesdropping in the room, very happy, and she felt that Gu Ziming really liked her.
As long as Gu Ziming is infatuated with her, she can gain a foothold in the Gu family.
The Gu family head and Gu Ziming have not yet gone down to entertain the guests, as they are preparing to activate the fortune-changing formation according to Liu Zixing's instructions.
Now almost all the guests have arrived, and everyone in the banquet hall will have their luck absorbed by the luck-changing formation.
To avoid Madam Gu disrupting their plans, the head of the Gu family reminded Gu Ziming, "Ziming, take your mother downstairs first!"
"Okay!" Gu Ziming nodded and looked at Madam Gu, "Mom, let's go downstairs first!"
Madam Gu glared at her son, who was supporting her arm, and could only go downstairs to entertain the guests.
After seeing Madam Gu off, the head of the Gu family also turned and left to do his own thing.
Lin Xinyi saw it from upstairs, and of course, the Lin family members, who were chatting and laughing with the heads of various families and presidents in the banquet hall, also saw Chu Yiting and his group arrive.
Upon seeing Chu Yiting and his group, the expressions on their faces changed inscrutable.
They thought that given the recent relationship between the Chu and Gu families, it was impossible for them to attend the engagement banquet. However, to their surprise, Chu Yiting and his family actually came, and even brought Tang Bao with them, making quite a grand entrance.
The appearance of the Chu family has left them unsure how to deal with the situation.
They had originally sent Lin Xinyi to seduce Chu Yiting, but Lin Xinyi's plan failed. Not only did she not succeed, she was also kicked out of the Chu Group.
Even now that Lin Xinyi and Gu Ziming are together, they are still ridiculed.
Even more so, Lin Xinyi is now the subject of discussion within the entire wealthy family.
However, they pretended not to hear it. None of that mattered. What mattered was that their daughter had married Gu Ziming.
Now that the Chu family has arrived, they only hope that the engagement banquet can proceed smoothly.
However, it's impossible to go up to them voluntarily, lest they humiliate themselves, unless they approach them on their own.
Therefore, they only chatted and discussed important matters with other company executives of lower status on the periphery.
Although the Lin and Gu families are engaged, there are still many people who look down on the Lin family. Only those of lower status will cooperate out of respect for the Gu family.
As the current head of the Chu family, Chu Yiting, who controls the entire Chu Group, is the focus of everyone's attention.
While the Gu family members were not at the banquet venue, Tang Bao excitedly took Chu Yixi and Chu Yifan's hands and wandered around the banquet hall.
As a result, with people all around Chu Yiting, the responsibility of taking care of and protecting Tang Bao has been handed over to Chu Yixi and Chu Yifan.
Although Chu Yixi is very famous, he is a lawyer, and people don't usually come to him unless there's a specific reason. Besides, this kind of banquet isn't suitable, which gave Chu Yixi the opportunity to accompany Tang Bao.
Tang Bao, being a little foodie, immediately ran excitedly to the food area, pulling her two older brothers to get her some treats, which she ate with great relish.
"It's delicious, but it's a little bit worse than what the chefs at home make!" Tangbao pointed with her little finger, looking quite disappointed.
Tang Bao said that she was absolutely not trying to flatter him, she really can't compare to the chefs in her family!
Chu Yixi and Chu Yifan both laughed, "That's right, from now on, Tangbao can eat at home by herself!"
