Chapter 230 He is an adult
The banquet officially began at eight o'clock in the evening.
Considering that Gu Sinan was a lunatic and had no skill in livening up the atmosphere, Uncle Guo specially invited an emcee to host the event.
The emcee walked quickly to the stage with a small notebook in hand and loudly and enthusiastically read out the words he had memorized by heart.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, good evening. On this festive day, we gather together to celebrate the eighteenth birthday of Gu Yanchuan, the only son of Gu Sinan, the president of Gu's Real Estate."
"Here, please allow me to express my most sincere thanks to everyone for coming on behalf of the birthday boy!"
The emcee raised one hand high and signaled everyone to applaud.
Bang bang bang!
There was thunderous applause in the hall, and the guests all turned their eyes to Gu Yanchuan.
This gentleman used to be a playboy, and people thought he might ruin the Gu family one day, but he suddenly changed his ways.
Now he seems to have been reborn. His blond hair was dyed black, and he wore a suit neatly. He looked like a handsome young man.
Gu Yanchuan was standing next to Sheng Beibei, feeling the gazes of the crowd as usual. This time, he clearly felt that there was no longer any contempt and disgust hidden in everyone's eyes.
He couldn't help but feel dazed.
In the past, he only saw the dark side of life and stubbornly pushed himself into the abyss step by step.
Until he met the little girl, he began to believe that there was still light in this world. It was she who made him slowly try to step out of the shadows and discovered the kindness and friendliness of the people around him.
Gu Yanchuan stretched out his big hand to the side, wanting to hold Sheng Beibei's soft hand, but saw that she was clapping hard.
He looked at Sheng Beibei infatuatedly.
On the stage, the emcee continued to speak the host's words loudly.
"Time flies. With the care of all his relatives and friends, our birthday boy Gu Yanchuan has grown from a hungry baby to a handsome teenager, and is about to take on the responsibilities and obligations of an adult."
As a lyrical music sounded, videos and photos began to play on the big screen.
All the photos of Gu Yanchuan from the time he was born to the recent period are included, as well as some short videos secretly recorded by Uncle Guo. For Gu Yanchuan, it is an embarrassing and dark history, but in Uncle Guo's opinion, it is worth commemorating.
One of the videos caught Sheng Beibei's attention.
Gu Yanchuan was wearing Disney princess clothes and looking at the camera with a stern face, which looked very cute.
Sheng Beibei leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You look really good in a princess dress."
"Well, that was a cosplay activity at school." Gu Yanchuan explained hesitantly with a red face, fearing that the girl would think he was a crossdresser.
Sheng Beibei chuckled, tugged at his sleeve, and softened her voice: "Would you wear it for me to see some other day?"
I wonder what Gu Yanchuan looks like wearing women's clothes now, but she must be very beautiful, right?
Facing the little girl's eyes filled with expectation, Gu Yanchuan nodded foolishly.
After Sheng Beibei's charming eyes curved into crescents, Gu Yanchuan realized what he had agreed to.
!
At this moment, the video and photos finished playing, and the background music seamlessly switched to "Father".
"Respecting parents and giving back with gratitude are traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. When the melody of youth plays, the most unforgettable thing is the wholehearted dedication of parents for 18 years."
"Next, please invite the birthday boy's father to come to the stage and give a speech."
After he finished speaking, accompanied by thunderous applause, Gu Sinan walked onto the stage and looked at Gu Yanchuan with a serious gaze.
"Gu Yanchuan, from today on, you are an adult. I hope you will learn to be independent, responsible, and accountable for yourself. Remember, this world only respects the strong, and you must prove your own strength."
This is what Gu Sinan has always wanted to say to Gu Yanchuan. He hopes that Gu Yanchuan can grow up and not be as careless as before, which almost ruined his reputation.
As he spoke, Gu Sinan couldn't help but be moved. Back then, he tried every means to get this boy in order to tie Manman up, but Manman hated this boy, and he also blamed this boy for not being able to please Manman.
Later, when Manman left, he took his anger out on the boy, and even refused to see him because the boy's eyes were too similar to Manman's.
After all, this kid is the child that Manman gave birth to for him.
Even though Manman hated him even more because of this child...
It's not easy for this kid to have been disliked since he was a child.
Gu Sinan rarely felt a trace of sympathy for Gu Yanchuan. He continued slowly, "Gu Yanchuan, I will transfer 5% of my shares to you as your 18th birthday gift."
After a pause, Gu Sinan said, "Happy birthday, little brat."
As he spoke, he tried to smile at Gu Yanchuan, but because he almost never smiled at him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the smile seemed unnatural.
Gu Yanchuan was a little uncomfortable with this. The old man usually looked at him with a messy nose and face. The old man could never remember his birthday. But now he asked Uncle Guo to prepare a coming-of-age gift for him and also gave him 5% of the shares?
Did he finally come to his senses? No longer obsessed with that woman?
Gu Yanchuan looked at Gu Sinan suspiciously, but saw Gu Sinan looking towards the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to come.
Gu Yanchuan: “…” I knew the old man could never forget that woman.
That woman now treats her stepson as her own precious baby, how could she still remember this "dirty thing" of his?
After so many years, the old man still hasn't seen through it!
The guests had no idea what the father and son were thinking. They were shocked by Gu Sinan’s words.
They had more or less heard about the bloody love story of this crazy and domineering CEO back then. It was obvious that this madman didn't like Mr. Gu very much, and could even be said to hate him. Mr. Gu himself was unreliable.
Thinking that Master Gu was the only son of this madman, they also called him the Prince.
As for whether this crazy guy would pass the Gu Group to Young Master Gu, they were really unsure.
Until this lunatic just now said in person that he would transfer 5% of the shares to Gu Yanchuan, they truly believed that Young Master Gu would be the heir to the Gu family.
Gu's is a listed joint-stock company, and holding 5% of the shares makes one a major shareholder. This is enough to prove that Mr. Gu still has a place in the heart of this crazy guy.
Everyone's eyes once again fell on Gu Yanchuan.
What a pity! If they had known that this gentleman would reform and be valued by Gu Sinan, they would have let their daughter pursue him. Maybe she could become his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
You should know that this gentleman and Miss Sheng have only become close during this period.
Alas, why didn’t I seize such a good opportunity before?
