Chapter 58 Birthday Banquet 1
Seeing Gu Yunxi walk in wearing a red dress, Liu Zheng didn't hesitate and immediately went up and hugged her.
"Yunxi, you're finally back! You scared the hell out of me!"
What should I do? I'm so touched, I want to cry. So this is what it feels like to have a mother!
Gu Yunxi sniffed. "Mom, I'm back safe and sound. I went out to take care of some things, so I'm a little late."
"Don't come so late next time. If anything happens, tell your family in advance. You made us worry all night."
Liu Zheng let go of her.
"Okay, Mom!"
Gu Yunxi glanced at the sofa and said, "Fifth Brother is here too!"
"Yeah, I feel like you're the busiest person in our family right now, you don't have any time to rest at all!"
Gu Yunxi walked over with a smile and sat down next to him. "No way, everyone in our family is very busy with their own careers. I'm just taking advantage of my free time to do some good deeds. Once school starts in a while, I probably won't have this much freedom anymore."
"No need for that. If you want to go home, I'll arrange a commute for you!"
"Do you like the gift I gave you?"
Gu Yunxi took the gift box, and inside was a necklace of considerable value.
"This is too valuable, thank you Fifth Brother."
[If I ever fall on hard times and have to pawn this, it'll bring in a considerable sum. It's so valuable, I'd better keep it safe for now.]
Everyone: Uh oh! It's completely hopeless.
...
On this day, the old master of the Liu family finally celebrated his birthday.
After finishing her work, Gu Yunxi went out with her third brother, but unexpectedly, Wang Ma told her that Gu Feng had taken Gu Yan out early in the morning!
It seems that the two of them also want to make a name for themselves at the Liu family patriarch's birthday banquet.
Liu Zheng had already custom-made the dress for Gu Yunxi. That night, when they saw Yunxi come back wearing a red evening gown, they immediately felt that the color suited her skin tone perfectly.
So Liu Zheng had several different styles of dresses made for her.
Gu Yunxi didn't need heavy makeup; she simply tidied herself up and used a jade hairpin to hold her hair in place.
It directly made the surrounding environment pale in comparison.
"Third Brother, should I take the things you were asked to prepare?"
"I'm holding it!"
Gu Yunlang felt a headache coming on when he thought of the stone his sister had casually bought at a street stall. It was only two hundred yuan, but it had been made into a pendant.
The key point is that it's obviously a rock and has no collectible value.
Giving this to Master Liu, while also being a shareholder of the Liu Group, is really beneath him.
He secretly went and bought another piece of calligraphy and painting; the old man should like these.
After all, good things come in pairs.
"Alright, Grandpa Liu has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Let's go."
As the two passed by Villa No. 1, the gate to the courtyard was open. Gu Yunxi glanced inside and was surprised to find that Xiao Xiangbin had grown quite a bit since they last met.
I've been busy these days and haven't seen Gu Yan much. I wonder if she's gained about ten pounds, but she's probably about that!
Banquet hall.
The entire banquet hall had been decorated, with festive red decorations everywhere.
The guests were all smiling, and even the waitresses were dressed in red cheongsams, carrying exquisite tea and snacks as they moved through the crowd.
Before Master Liu came out, Liu Yi, the eldest son of the Liu family, greeted the distinguished guests with a joyful expression.
Those who could attend Master Liu's birthday banquet were all prominent figures in the area.
Everyone knew that his sudden recovery was due to being saved by a master.
Although there was a misunderstanding before, the Liu Group's official website has clarified that the mysterious woman will also be coming today!
Many people came from far and wide, partly to congratulate Master Liu on his new life, and partly to meet this legendary figure.
Gu Feng appeared in the banquet hall arm in arm with his daughter Gu Yan, and their appearance did not cause much of a stir.
A few people who knew Gu Feng greeted her, noting that Gu Yan was dressed unusually extravagantly today.
The low-cut evening gown accentuated her large breasts, making them appear exceptionally prominent.
With heavy makeup, it would be hard for anyone who didn't know her well to notice that she had changed so much in less than a month.
Upon seeing Gu Feng, Liu Yi respectfully stepped forward, shook hands with him, and said, "Vice President Gu, you've finally arrived. Please take a seat."
Gu Feng nodded with a smile, glancing at Gu Yan beside him. They were both his daughters, which made him proud.
Otherwise, how could he have had the opportunity to communicate so closely with the Liu family?
"Okay, okay!"
When everyone saw that the eldest son of the Liu family was being so polite to Gu Feng, could the rumor be true?
The Gu family's daughter had done a favor for the Liu family. Looking closer at the woman beside him, wasn't she the Gu family's daughter?
Could it be that this woman saved Master Liu?
“Miss Gu, I am the owner of the Xu Group. This is my business card. Please have a chat with my son sometime.”
"Miss Gu, this is Zhang's Group..."
Gu Yan smiled and accepted all the business cards handed to her, putting them in her bag. Today had indeed made her stand out.
As long as Gu Yunxi doesn't come, I'll be the most dazzling person tonight.
She's just a charlatan; her tire blew out halfway there. Let's see how she dares to be late.
Over there, the two had just started their car and were heading towards the hotel.
As soon as they got on the overpass, the car started swaying from side to side as if it were out of control. Gu Yunxi noticed something was wrong and slapped the car.
The car came to a steady stop at the highest point. If they had gone down the bridge like that, the two of them would probably have been thrown into the river long ago!
My mother's carefully prepared evening gown, worth millions, would be a huge loss if it fell into the water; it's so precious!
"This car is really something, how did it suddenly get a flat tire?"
Gu Yunlang took out his phone and called the towing company. The two stood by the bridge, a gentle breeze blowing.
It's not cool at all, it even feels stuffy. Summer in Jiangcheng is really unbearable. No wonder so many people go to Rongcheng to escape the heat, that's a cool place.
"The car definitely wouldn't have a tire blowout unless it was done by someone."
"Yunxi, do you mean someone is deliberately trying to prevent us from attending Grandpa Liu's birthday banquet so smoothly?"
"Of course. The person who hates me the most in this family left early, which must have been planned in advance. Let them have their moment in the spotlight. I remember my second brother will be there too, and then there will be a real show to watch."
The two took out the gift box and hailed a taxi to the hotel.
He Sihan and Shen Wang sat together, while Gu Feng and Gu Yan sat at the main table opposite them. The two chatted and laughed, and occasionally clinked glasses with the bosses who came over to say hello.
"Hmph, those two are really shameless. Look at how smug they are, as if they earned this credit themselves. Especially Gu Yan, tsk tsk tsk, her outfit today is truly indescribable."
Shen Wang made a point of dressing up today, remembering what Gu Yunxi said: his true love would appear tonight.
No, it appears from a high place.
Looking around the entire banquet hall, he didn't see any woman above him. Could it be that the time wasn't right yet?
"Master Liu has come out."
Someone shouted, and everyone stood up at once.
