Peng Zhihua glanced at Qiao Jiangxin and punched Gu Yunzhou awkwardly, "There are female comrades here, please be careful."
Liu Xinyan blushed with shame. As if she didn't understand what Gu Yunzhou said, she turned her head to tease the child to hide her embarrassment.
Peng Zhihua bared his teeth at Gu Yunzhou, then turned around and thanked Qiao Jiangxin and Zheng Yu.
"Thank you, Xiao Qiao. Xinyan and the child have been taken care of by you for so many years. You and Yunzhou are great benefactors of our family. I, Peng Zhihua, will never forget this kindness!"
Qiao Jiangxin smiled and said, "I'm not targeting you. What I'm doing with Sister Xinyan has nothing to do with you. Even without you, she is still my closest sister."
Peng Zhihua said, "No matter what, you two are our great benefactors. If it weren't for you, Xinyan would have been schemed against in a way she didn't know."
Thinking of what Liu Xinyan said to him yesterday, Peng Zhihua's eyes flashed with anger and his whole body turned cold.
He is not as foolish as Liu Xinyan. He knows who is behind this and what they are trying to do.
Qiao Jiangxin felt Peng Zhihua's emotional fluctuations and looked at Gu Yunzhou. Gu Yunzhou shook his head at her, signaling her not to care.
At noon, Gu Qingyong booked a private room in Mingzhuzhuang, and members of the third branch of the Gu family arrived one after another.
In the past few years, except for Gu Qingyong, no one else has had much contact with Qiao Jiangxin. They met here when Gu Hongbin and Wang Luo were having a wedding banquet, and they also met at Mingzhu Manor when their eldest grandson's full moon banquet was held.
The second and third wives didn't know Qiao Jiangxin at all. They only heard that Gu Yunzhou had a partner in the countryside.
Gu Yunzhou held Qiao Jiangxin's hand and said, "I'll go, you don't have to care about them. You're with me, it has nothing to do with them. The Gu family will never be a burden to you."
Qiao Jiangxin smiled and said, "Do I look like someone who would suffer a loss? Just be sure you are not afraid that I will bully them."
Gu Yunzhou said softly, "If you want to bully me, go ahead and bully me. I can cover for you now."
Qiao Jiang thought to himself, "The old man has been taking care of me a lot in the past few years, so I think he has some respect as a regular customer. Let's give him some face, because he will be angry later."
"Okay, I'll do as you say. If you don't feel comfortable, just flip the table. I'll make them pay for it after that."
In the private room of Mingzhu Manor, the first, second, third and other wives arrived early.
Normally, the Gu family gatherings were held in the courtyard of the military compound, and this was the first time that Grandpa Er had hosted a dinner outside.
Everyone present knew why.
Before Gu Yunzhou went to Ning County to recuperate, he was a battalion commander. After returning, he performed brilliantly in the special operations team and was mobilized to go to the front line for more than three years, making great military achievements.
From 1979 to 1989, a full ten years, hundreds of first-class heroes and collective heroes emerged in the counterattack and the later rounds of fighting. Most of these recipients did not come back, and most of the first-class merits appeared in the fierce counterattacks in the early stages.
During the later rounds of battles, Gu Yunzhou led his team to win two collective first-class merits, one individual first-class merit, and two second-class merits. Most importantly, he brought them all back alive.
This honor will be a green light for his promotion. In addition, with Tan Qinglin's advice, even without the Gu family, Gu Yunzhou will definitely be promoted to a regular regiment after his return.
It is not unprecedented for a 29-year-old to make it to the regular team through his own strength, but the future is bright.
With Gu Yunzhou's qualifications and abilities, he would be able to reach the division (brigade) level before he is 35 years old at the latest.
Things are going to change in the Gu family.
Gu Qingyong is already old, and his health has been deteriorating in the past two years. From now on, the Gu family will have to depend on Gu Yunzhou's mood for everything.
Gu Yunzhou is partial to Gu's family...
Except for Second Aunt Gu, everyone else present felt somewhat complicated.
Especially Gu Yunhai, he was jealous and envious, but he had no choice but to accept his fate. He even hoped that Gu Yunzhou would become better, because only when Gu Yunzhou became better, their entire Gu family would become better.
Otherwise, when the old man is gone, there will be no one to carry on the Gu family, and these descendants of the Gu family who rely on the influence of their ancestors will be unable to move at all. If they fail, they will be replaced and marginalized.
And Gu Yunzhou is at the top, so as long as they don't make any mistakes, they will be fine. Even if they want to move up a bit, everyone will give them some face.
