Chapter 110

At the hotel entrance, Gu Bai was dressed in a white suit and looked gentle and elegant, attracting the attention of many guests' female companions.

Next to Gu Bai stood a middle-aged man and woman, who were Gu's father and mother who had gone abroad to work in their early years.

Father Gu was dressed in a suit and looked energetic, but Mother Gu looked pale and had many wrinkles on her face. She looked older than Father Gu. Even with heavy makeup on her face, it couldn't hide her old age.

Speaking of which, Nan Tao had a profound influence on Gu's mother.

I remember when I was little, every time my family took me to a party outside, if my mother was there, she would always compare herself with her mother and look down on her mother, despising her mother for having no vision and marrying her father, a poor boy with nothing.

Although Gu's mother was arrogant and unpleasant at that time, her complexion was still rosy. Who would have thought that after so many years, she seemed like a different person. Not only was the light in her eyes gone, but she also looked older, as if she had suffered a serious illness that took away her vitality.

Nan Tao was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Gu's mother's sharp, jealous voice.

"Oh, who did I think you were? It turns out you've come with your family." Gu's mother couldn't help but sarcastically said.

Nan Tao looked at Gu's mother and clicked her tongue.

As always, I can't hide the jealousy in my eyes.

In the past, Gu's mother was as good as her mother, so Gu's mother was jealous to death. Now that Gu's mother is so much worse than her mother, she must be even more jealous.

Nan Tao turned and looked at her mother.

Nan Ma was wearing a light green cheongsam that wrapped around her body, highlighting her graceful curves. She wore a green jadeite around her neck, which made her look more elegant, dignified and graceful.

Looking up, I saw Nanma's eyebrows were curved and her eyes were picturesque. Even though she was fifty years old, her eyes were still bright and she still had the innocence and simplicity of a girl. Although there were traces of time at the corners of her eyes, the happiness of life could be seen on her face.

Nan Tao sighed, "Mom looks so beautiful today."

Nan's mother said angrily, "How old am I now?"

Seeing that no one was talking to her, Gu's mother couldn't help but said in a sarcastic tone, "Over the years, your business has grown bigger and bigger, and now you are so arrogant that you don't even care about your old friends."

Upon hearing this, Father Gu's face changed and he reprimanded Mother Gu in a low voice. Then he looked at Father Nan and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. I've been used to the freedom abroad these years. Don't mind it."

Mother Gu: "Mr. Gu, what do you mean?"

Father Gu was unhappy, his face full of impatience, and he instructed Gu Bai who was standing beside him, "Ah Bai, take your uncle Nan, aunt Nan and their family in and have a seat first."

Gu Bai smiled and nodded, saying ok, then walked to Nan Tao's side, surprise flashing in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to come today."

Nan Tao got goosebumps all over her body and signaled Nan Bo with her eyes.

The tacit understanding between brother and sister over the years can be understood with just one glance.

Nan Bo smiled and told Nan Tao to bring her parents and Xiao Ze in first, while he would talk to Gu Bai. As for what he talked about, it was nothing more than superficial official rhetoric.

Gu Bai's face froze, and he could only watch Nan Tao walk further and further away. He had to stay and practice Tai Chi with Nan Bo, the shopping mall fox.

After saying a lot of nonsense, Nan Bo slowly ended the topic, "I'm sorry to have wasted your time, please continue with your work." After saying that, he left leisurely.

Gu Bai stared at Nan Bo's back with a dark and gloomy look in his eyes, and his hands hanging at his sides were slightly clenched.

Nan Bo has been a genius in his circle since he was young. He is no exception to the psychological shadows of other people's children and the countless rich second-generations. In addition to being good at studying and having a high IQ, Nan Bo is also handsome. In contrast, when he was a child, he was ugly and fat, and was laughed at and looked down upon by many people.

Later, the whole family moved abroad. He originally thought that he could get rid of Nanbo's shadow, but he didn't expect that Nanbo would go to study in the United States. He once again became a huge mountain hanging over his head, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

He tried his best, but was still not as good as Nanbo.

In recent years, the Nan Group has grown in size, while his Gu Group has been declining. It had to retreat back to China like a defeated water dog and try to make a comeback in China by using its previous connections and resources.

But since returning to China, the country has undergone tremendous changes and developments, and many things are different from those abroad. Gu Group's business development has repeatedly run into obstacles. He has been servile to others like a dog in order to win business, but in return he has heard others complimenting and praising Nanbo's business genius.

What made Gu Bai hate it even more was that when he was a child, he often went to play with Nan Tao, but was always blocked by Nan Bo intentionally or unintentionally. Just like just now, Nan Bo didn't want him to get in touch with Nan Tao.

When Gu Bai thought of Nan Tao, his throat tightened and he suppressed the cruelty in his eyes.

Just wait a little longer, until he becomes strong, then even if Nan Tao is married, I will still snatch her away to be his woman.

Thinking of the scene where Nan Tao was kept as a spoiled child by him in his golden house, Gu Bai chuckled.

He knew that Nan Tao didn't like him, but so what? As long as he had the power and influence and could force the Nan Group into bankruptcy, Nan Tao would humble herself and beg him.

As for Nan Tao's husband, he had asked many times, but almost no one knew who he was. It seemed that it was not Yu Zhengyang, otherwise there would be no news about the marriage between the Yu and Nan families.

As long as it’s not Yu Zhengyang, and not the Yu family…

"Abai, what are you still standing there for? Come over and greet the guests." Father Gu said dissatisfiedly.

Gu Bai collected his thoughts and said with a gentle smile, "Dad, I understand."

Father Gu: "I just saw you talking to Nan Bo. How was the conversation going? He is now the president of Nan Group and has taken over Nan Group. He is quite business-minded. You should get along with him more in the future and try to get Nan Group's orders from him. This will be a great help to our Gu Group."

Gu Bai's eyes turned cold, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I know."

Father Gu sighed, "It would be even better if we could establish a relationship with the Yu Group. I remember that you played with the children of the Yu family and the Nan family when you were a child. How come you don't have any relationship with them at all?"

Gu Bai clenched his fingers and said nothing.

Father Gu was still nagging: "The current head of the Yu Group is Yu Zhengyang, who is ruthless and powerful. After taking over the group for a few years, he has expanded the scale to the world. He is a top business genius. As long as we can get in touch with the Yu Group, even if they give us some marginal business, it will be enough for our Gu family to gain a firm foothold in Haishi. What a pity...

Look at the Pu family. They used to be worse than us. But after getting engaged to the daughter of the Yu family, their business is growing bigger and bigger.

Son, you should spend more time with Nan Bo in the future. I heard that he and Yu Zhengyang have been friends for many years and have a special relationship. If we can use Nan Bo to get in touch with the Yu family, our Gu family will..."

Mother Gu was unhappy and interrupted Father Gu, "Our son is also a noble man, why would he try to curry favor with others? As soon as he returned to China, he was spotted by the daughter of the Li family, and she has been chasing after our A Bai every day. With the support of the Li family, what do we have to fear?"

Father Gu glared at him, "What do you know? You have long hair but little knowledge. I am showing great wisdom. Do you know how many people are trying to curry favor with the Nan family now? If it weren't for the friendship we had in the past, would we be able to invite the Nan family?

As the host, you were mocking and ridiculing them just now. It's because they don't care. If they did, how could we, the guests, get anything out of it?

The Li family is nothing. Not to mention the Yu Group, they are not even as good as the Nan Group. Only the old man of the Li family is still alive. Once the old man dies, the Li family will fall apart sooner or later."

Mother Gu sneered, "What do you mean by comparison? The Nan family is not that powerful. I think the Li family is very powerful. Haha, I don't understand, but you do. You think I don't know that you have always had a crush on her. It's a pity that she would rather marry a poor boy than look down on you."

Father Gu was like someone had stabbed him in the lungs. He flew into a rage and said, "Shut up!"

Mother Gu laughed sarcastically and said, "Haha, you are angry because of shame."

Gu Bai watched the two people quarreling in front of him with an expressionless face, and he was indifferent and didn't even try to persuade them.

It was not until the next guest came that the two of them calmed down and greeted the guest with fake smiles.

Inside the banquet hall, lights were flickering, people were toasting each other, and three or five people were gathered in a group, chatting and laughing.

Nan Tao roughly counted and found that there were actually hundreds of people, including those who were still on the way. It seemed that the Gu family had invited quite a few people this time.

Nan Tao asked Nan Bo curiously, "Brother, the Gu family invited so many people this time?"

Nan Bo smiled and said, "The Gu family has lost a lot of money in overseas investments over the years. They are returning to China this time to make a comeback. However, Gu Bai has no business sense and is not very useful."

Nan Tao lowered her eyes and thought.

I also think that Gu Bai's ability is definitely not as good as my brother's, but in the dream that night, Gu Bai was the male protagonist. At the beginning, the Gu family was inconspicuous until Lin Yirou stole the official seal of the Nan Group and gave Gu Bai an important document, causing the Nan Group to face a crisis and a sharp drop in stock prices. Gu Bai took the opportunity to acquire the Nan Group and became the famous President Gu in one fell swoop, and then lived happily with Lin Yirou.

But that's not right. The Nan Group is in crisis, and Zheng Yang certainly can't just stand by and watch without helping.

Thinking back to the scene of her first nightmare, she was a vicious female supporting character who caused trouble for the world, and her husband and son belonged to other people. In this case, without the Yu family's help to save the Nan family, the Nan family would indeed be on the verge of bankruptcy and be bought out by Gu Bai.

Thinking of this, Nan Tao felt a chill on her back. This was like a trap, one ring after another.

If she had not been the vicious female supporting role, had not pushed her husband and son away, and had not become enemies with the Yu family, the Yu family would not have sat idly by and watched the crisis of the Nan family. The reason why Lin Yirou was able to steal the official seal and important documents was because Sister Xiaoyao died, and her brother missed Sister Xiaoyao, so he softened his heart towards Lin Yirou again and again and relaxed his vigilance.

Nan Tao felt as if there was a pair of big hands behind her, accurately sniping at her and the people around her.

At this moment, Nan Tao felt somewhat fortunate, fortunate that she could suddenly hear her son's inner voice, and also fortunate that she could have some prophetic dreams and change the established trajectory.

"What are you thinking about?" Nan Bo asked with a smile.

Nan Tao said without thinking, "Brother, you will be happy. Sister Xiaoyao will be fine."

Nan Bo smiled and said, "Are you so sure that I can catch up with your little sister Yao?"

Nan Tao clenched her fists: "Don't worry, I'm here."

Nan Bo thought of the assist Nan Tao had just given him, "Okay, my future happiness depends on you, my sister."

The brother and sister were arguing when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Sister-in-law, Sister Taozi."

Yu Xue originally wanted to call her sister-in-law, but suddenly she remembered that her brother and sister-in-law's wedding had not been announced to the public, so she changed her words temporarily.

Nan Tao looked at Yu Xue, "You're here too?"

Yu Xue took Park Wenbin's arm and shook it, "I came here as his female companion today."

Nan Tao looked at Park Wenbin in surprise.

The Pu family and the Gu family have never had any contact with each other. They are two families that have nothing to do with each other, but one invited the other to come.

Park Wenbin greeted Nan's father, Nan's mother, Nan Bo and Nan Tao.

Yu Xuesong let go of Pu Wenbin's arm, ran to Nan Tao like a happy little bird, and whispered, "Sister-in-law."

Park Wenbin said, "Xiaoxue, you and Sister Taozi chat here, I'll go over there and take a look."

Yu Xue waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

Nan Tao asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? You look very excited."

Yu Xue looked around and said excitedly in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, I just accidentally ate a big melon. Can you guess what it is?"
