"Ahem, well, where did you buy that necklace you wore last time? It was really pretty."
"Ahem, yes, yes, that necklace looks great. I want to buy it too."
…
When the ladies saw Gu Chen, they turned around in seconds and talked to the ladies next to them as if nothing had happened. Their hearts were about to beat out of their chests and they hurried back to the courtyard.
Because their son said that if they met Gu Chen outside, they should leave as soon as possible without hesitation. If they provoked Gu Chen, Gu Chen would take out his anger on them.
For the sake of their sons' lives, they naturally did not dare to provoke Gu Chen.
That madman Gu Chen really dared to beat their son to vent his anger.
"He...he...he's not looking at us!"
The ladies held hands and asked the people around them in fear, and no one dared to look back at the big iron gate.
"Yingying... probably didn't look at us."
One of them said, while walking towards the long table full of food, he glanced at the big iron gate behind him with his peripheral vision, sneaking around for fear of meeting Gu Chen's eyes.
But they were worrying too much. There were too many people in the courtyard, and all they saw were heads. Gu Chen didn't notice them at all.
"Oh, my daughter's rich son-in-law!"
The ladies had sad faces. They finally met Pei Yan outside, but they missed him because of Gu Chen.
They had opinions but didn't dare to say them out loud. They hurriedly picked up the champagne from the servant's tray and took a sip to calm their nerves.
The other ladies also saw Gu Chen and immediately gave up the idea of going to talk to Pei Yan. After all, their son’s life was more important.
But they were all curious. How could Pei Yan, who ignored everyone, know a madman like Gu Chen, and even attend Mr. Si's birthday party together?
They looked at Gu Chen who had already walked to Pei Yan's side, and then looked at Chu Li, Chu Fei, Lu Yanchen and others.
Everyone was in pairs, holding their wives' hands.
The wives include cute ones, beautiful ones, and those who are abstinent and righteous, and they have attracted many people's attention.
Song Chi poked his little head out from behind Lu Yanchen and looked into the courtyard where classical records were playing and people were gathered.
The people in the courtyard were also looking at them and whispering to each other.
Song Chi's mouth twitched, as if every time they appeared, they would be surrounded by people watching.
Gu Chen touched Song Chi's head and raised the corner of his mouth, "Just do it, I'll take responsibility for you if anything goes wrong."
"You said it!"
Song Chi raised his head and did not refuse, because he had to go and save Mr. Si later.
"I said so."
Gu Chen gave Song Chi an affirmative answer, and then rubbed Song Chi's head with a smile.
Lu Yanchen glanced at Gu Chen who interrupted him, turned around and waited for Old Lady Ouyang without saying anything.
Old Mrs. Ouyang, who had already gotten off the car, walked towards them with the support of Aunt Mei. She was wearing a slightly dark cheongsam and had her hair tied up, looking like a real old lady in charge of the family.
The guests in the courtyard also saw Old Madam Ouyang and were surprised. "Oh my God! Isn't that Old Madam Ouyang? Why is she here to attend Mr. Si's birthday party?"
"That's right! Old Madam Ouyang doesn't usually attend these birthday parties."
"You newlyweds don't know this, do you? Old Madam Ouyang was a close friend of the late Old Madam Si, and a good friend of Old Master Si," said an older lady.
The young ladies were shocked when they heard this, "How come we didn't know about this?"
"It's normal for you not to know. Only my grandmother-in-law's generation knows about this. I also heard it from my grandmother."
The young lady asked, "What does it mean that Mr. Si invited so many people to attend Mr. Si's birthday party this time? He even invited everyone in the industry to come."
The older lady scoffed, "Why not? They think there's money to be made in our industry, so they want to join!"
"Ah? This, this can't be! Isn't the Si family's focus on the army?"
The older lady said, "If it was Mr. Si, his focus would indeed be on the army, but now it is Mr. Si who is in charge."
After saying that, she secretly added, "Actually, Mr. Si is not Mr. Si's biological son, he was adopted."
"Oh my god, is this true?"
The young ladies covered their mouths and looked at her, gasping for air.
"Could what my mother-in-law said be false?"
"The real young master of the Si family disappeared a long time ago."
"During the war, Mrs. Si and her son moved to what is now Kyoto. There were so many people fleeing on the road that the four or five-year-old child was lost in the crowd. We searched for months but couldn't find him."
"Mr. Si was still fighting the enemy at the time and had no idea about this. It was two years later that he learned of his son's disappearance. Mrs. Si had already fallen ill and was emaciated because of the loss of her son."
"It just so happened that Mr. Si brought back an orphan from the battlefield who had just lost his parents. He was just about to send him to an orphanage, but unexpectedly the child suddenly started taking care of Mrs. Si, and Mrs. Si's condition even got better."
"Not long after, I heard that Mr. Si adopted the child, who is now Mr. Si."
The young ladies sighed, "So that's how it is."
"No wonder. Mr. Si has no achievements in the army, and the Si family has not made any splash in recent years. It all depends on Mr. Si's achievements back then."
Another lady said, "If he's not a biological son, he doesn't have that gene at all. What can he achieve?"
"Too."
"Then Mr. Si never went to look for his biological son?"
The older lady said, "Of course I've been looking! I haven't stopped looking, but I can't find anyone!"
"When Mr. Si grew up, he took the initiative to send people to look for the real child of the Si family. The search lasted for several years."
