Gu Zhaoming was not surprised at all to hear such hurtful words coming from his mother's mouth.

When he was a child, he thought his mother was just partial, but later he realized that she was selfish and always considered her own interests first.

Her younger brothers listened to her, and if they became the head of the family, she could be her master. But he grew up with his grandfather, and she was afraid that she could not control him.

Now that he is back, she is afraid that he will take away the position of head of the family, and that he will bear a grudge against her and take revenge on them.

Then let her be afraid.

Gu Zhaoming walked towards her and said with a low smile, "For the position of the head of the family."

Old Madam Gu was so frightened by Gu Zhaoming's eyes that she couldn't help but take a step back. The thing she was most worried about had finally happened.

The old man can’t be allowed to see Gu Zhaoming.

At least they can't be allowed to show up at the birthday party today.

After so many years, the old man finally gave up hope on Gu Zhaoming and planned to choose the next head of the family from Zhaoan and Zhaoye.

If Gu Zhaoming appeared at this time, everything she had done would be in vain.

Madam Gu called the security guards outside the banquet hall and pointed at Gu Zhaoming's family with a cold look in her eyes, "Kick them out!"

As for Butler Liu, she would go and knock on his door later.

The security guards stepped forward and were about to arrest Gu Zhaoming and others.

However, at this moment, a majestic and old voice came from behind Madam Gu, with a hint of anger: "Who dares!"

Madam Gu turned around in astonishment, not expecting that the Fifth Elder would bring Gu Hongwei with him.

The fifth elder's tone was full of condemnation: "Madam, Zhaoming is your eldest son. Now he has finally come back to celebrate the birthday of the head of the family. How can you drive him out?"

Gu Hongwei looked at Gu Zhaoming, his eyes full of vicissitudes, staring at him steadily, "Zhaoming, you're back..."

Gu Zhaoming also looked at Gu Hongwei with a complicated look in his eyes: "Yes, father."

Gu Zhaoming looked at Old Madam Gu with a hurt expression, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

The fifth elder said with regret: "Old Madam, you are confused. If Zhaoming wanted to fight for the position of the head of the family, would he have to wait until today? You are too disappointed with Zhaoming's heart!"

Gu Zhaoming smiled bitterly, looked at Gu Hongwei, and said, "Father, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains. I wanted to bring my wife and children to celebrate your birthday, but since mother wants to do so, our family will not stay any longer."

As Gu Zhaoming said this, he and Ruan Xueling took the children away.

Gu Hongwei had been looking at the children, but they were blocked by Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling. Before he could see clearly, Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling pulled them away, and Gu Hongwei's tone became a little anxious.

"Wait."

Gu Hongwei walked over quickly without the support of the fifth elder and grabbed Gu Zhaoming.

His voice was vicissitudes. "Stay, Zhaoming. I don't have many years left. If you leave, it will be the last time for us father and son to see each other."

Gu Zhaoming looked at Gu Hongwei with a moved expression.

Ruan Xueling, who was standing next to him, also held Gu Zhaoming's hand and gently persuaded him, "Zhaoming, just stay and celebrate Dad's birthday. Mom will always understand you in the future. Besides, the children haven't met their grandparents yet."

Gu Hongwei immediately became fond of Ruan Xueling. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. She was so gentle and decent, and she had the demeanor of a family's eldest daughter-in-law.

The four Gu Yang kids were listening from behind, each with a different look on their face.

Even Feng Jue and Gu Jin, who were always calm, couldn't help but get goose bumps when they heard Ruan Xueling's tone and voice.

Gu Pei simply turned around and lowered his head, biting his fingers to suppress his laughter silently.

Gu Yang had seen Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling rehearse, so he was relatively calm. By the way, she was the one who guided Mom's speech just now.
