Gu family villa.

Gu Yanran’s party was held at the Gu family villa.

Ever since Gu Yanran climbed up the big tree of Li Daoyuan, the entire Gu family has risen with the tide and has gradually become a first-class family in Jinling City.

With the three major families in Jinling being completely swallowed up by Li Daoyuan, the entire Gu family can be said to be the strongest family in Jinling City except for the Li family, without a doubt.

"Master, you are finally here. I'm so sorry to have waited so long for you, little maid." Seeing Li Daoyuan coming, Gu Yanran immediately went to greet him.

Even though Gu Yanran has now become the eldest daughter of the Gu family and the president of the Gu Group, she has not forgotten that by Li Daoyuan's side, she will always be Li Daoyuan's little maid.

The reason why he can have his current status is entirely due to the help of Li Daoyuan. Without Li Daoyuan, she would be nothing.

Moreover, he was willing to become a little maid beside Li Daoyuan.

Therefore, even in front of everyone, Gu Yanran was still extremely close to Li Daoyuan.

The reason why Gu Yanran organized such a grand meeting and set up this banquet today was to invite Li Daoyuan. He wanted to let everyone in Jinling City know that he was just a little maid beside Li Daoyuan.

"Yanran, you hosted this wedding banquet, how could I not come? I left in a hurry and didn't have anything to bring. It just so happened that a friend of mine came back from abroad and brought me a little gift. This gilded bracelet is a gift for you, Yanran. Please don't dislike it."

As soon as Li Daoyuan finished speaking, a guard came and respectfully presented something to him.

Li Daoyuan picked up the gift box and handed it to Gu Yanran himself, and whispered in Gu Yanran's ear: "Yanran, I'm giving you so much face today, shouldn't you also show some appreciation for the actions I told you last time? I wonder if you can cooperate with me."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yanran blushed with shame. Of course, he understood what Li Daoyuan was talking about.

Li Daoyuan had brought it up last time, but Gu Yanran was too shy at the time and just agreed.

Now that the old matter was brought up again, Gu Yanran dared not refuse Li Daoyuan. She immediately nodded and said respectfully: "Master has given me so much face, how dare I disobey? I can only let you decide everything."

"Well, I'm waiting for good news from you, Yanran. Hearing what Gu Yanran said, Li Daoyuan laughed out loud. Obviously, he was quite satisfied with Gu Yanran. Then he took Gu Yanran's hand and walked towards the villa.

"It seems that the Gu family is not just clinging to Li Daoyuan, Mr. Li. Seeing how close Miss Gu and Mr. Li are, the relationship between the two is probably very unusual."

"What can we do about it? Miss Gu is a stunning beauty, the best in the entire Jinling City. If she were just an ordinary person, Mr. Li would not be interested in her. Besides, the women in our family cannot marry Mr. Li even if they want to. We can only blame Gu for giving birth to such a beautiful daughter."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense here. It would be bad if Mr. Li heard it."

"That's right. We are here today mainly to celebrate Miss Gu, and to see if we can get in touch with Mr. Li. If we say something wrong and make Mr. Li unhappy, it will be a loss."

A group of people at the scene saw the actions of Li Daoyuan and Gu Yanran and started talking about it.

However, they also knew that it was definitely not okay to talk about Li Daoyuan behind his back. With someone taking the lead, everyone immediately changed the subject and did not dare to say anything more about Li Daoyuan.

"Boss Li, you are finally here. You are a rare guest. Please come in quickly!"

Seeing Li Daoyuan coming, Gu Yanran's father Gu Yunxiao also expressed his welcome.

Gu Yunxiao naturally knew everything about his daughter and Li Daoyuan.

He could only sigh and seemed helpless.

Although some time ago, it was Li Daoyuan who forced her to use the Gu family and the Gu Group to threaten her and her daughter, forcing her daughter to go to Li Daoyuan's mansion to serve as his maid,

But later, his daughter Gu Yanran fell in love with Li Daoyuan and vowed to be with Li Daoyuan for the rest of her life.

Seeing that his daughter was so persistent, Gu Yunxiao was helpless and could only agree with his daughter's opinion and let Gu Yanran and Li Daoyuan continue their relationship.

Fortunately, Li Daoyuan's original wife had passed away many years ago. Even if Gu Yanran was with him, she would not be labeled as a mistress.

If Li Daoyuan married Gu Yanran and could bring her happiness, it would be enough for Gu Yunxiao in his life. There was nothing to look forward to.

Therefore, Gu Yunxiao was happy with the relationship between the two and allowed them to develop further.

With everyone's attention, Li Daoyuan finally entered the villa.

In order to please Li Daoyuan and curry favor with Li Daoyuan, this group of people kept whispering in Li Daoyuan's ears, making Li Daoyuan feel uneasy. Li Daoyuan felt like his ears were going to be deafened by them.

Therefore, Li Daoyuan actually didn't want to attend this kind of banquet.

Because at every banquet, there are always some people, or even all the people, who will rush up to him and try to curry favor with him when they see him coming.

Even if he found a quiet place to sit down, there would be kind-hearted people coming to disturb him from time to time, making him unable to have a moment of peace.

If it wasn't for Gu Yanran this time, he would not have attended any banquet.

In order to avoid being disturbed again, Li Daoyuan could only make some casual remarks to fool them all away. After sending them away, he found a quiet place to sit down and instructed them not to let anyone disturb him.

…

At the same time, Xiao Qingcheng and Xiao Chuyun, brother and sister, including their father, their stepmother, and their half-brother, the entire Xiao family came to the Gu family's villa talking and laughing.

"Qingcheng, you are finally here. I thought you were not coming."

Looking at the appearance of Xiao Qingcheng, Gu Yanran also seemed a little excited.

Xiao Qingcheng is one of Gu Yanran's few close friends. The two used to talk about everything, but later, because Gu Yanran became the president of Gu Group and was too busy, the two met less often.

But this does not mean that their feelings have faded. On the contrary, they still have a very deep relationship.

"Yanran, I haven't seen you for several months. I feel that you have lost a lot of weight. Today is the party you personally hosted. How can I, your best friend, not give you face and not come?"

If the two of them used to have a purely close friendship, now Xiao Qingcheng seems a little respectful to Gu Yanran.

The reason is simple. There has been a drastic change in identity. Gu Yanran is not only the president of Gu Group, but also has the favor of Li Daoyuan. The Gu family has reached a higher level. At this time, Xiao Qingcheng has to bow to Gu Yanran for the sake of the Xiao family, and her words seem somewhat respectful.
