Chapter 743 Why do you want to come back now?

After listening to what Gu Shuxue said, Ye Qingzi couldn't help but sneer, "No wonder you didn't dare to return to Beijing for twenty years, it turned out that you did such a rebellious thing. How dare they come back?"

Gu Shuxue said tactfully: "Grandpa is old, and he always wants to see his children and grandchildren sitting in his arms."

Ye Qingzi's words were quite impolite, "I think your grandfather is just senile. Could it be that you still want Gu Zhaoming to inherit the family business?"

Gu Shuxue's expression was a little unnatural .

She didn't know if her grandfather had this plan, but over the years, no matter how much her father had done for the family, her grandfather never agreed to let her father inherit the family business.

Compared to the unreliable third uncle, her father is naturally much better.

However, her brother Gu Shuda is a playboy who is uneducated and only knows how to pick up girls and play games. He is far inferior to her third uncle's cousin Gu Shuzhi.

She only hopes that she can surpass Gu Shuzhi in this birthday banquet, so that her grandfather can see that their second branch is not without successors, so that it is possible for her father to become the heir of the family.

Nowadays, it is different from the old society. Men and women are equal, and women can also become the head of the family.

Among the eight wealthy families, the head of the Tong family, Tong Yan, is a woman. Ms. Tong Yan is also the strong woman she has always admired the most.

While Gu Shuxue used old stories to coax Ye Qingzi back, he also sent a message to his father, telling him about his encounter with Gu Zhaoming.

Gu's banquet hall.

The banquet was packed with guests, and the wine was flowing.

At the head of the main table sat an old man with gray hair. He was old, but still had the majesty of the head of a wealthy and prestigious family.

This old man was the current head of the Gu family, Gu Hongwei, the son of Grandpa Gu.

Those who sat at the main table with him were the most important guests at the table.

The closer to the main table, the more prominent figures in the capital, or the closer to the Gu family, such as the elders and direct descendants of the Gu family.

Madam Gu sat at the same table with Grandpa Gu.

At this time, a waiter suddenly walked up to the old lady and whispered a few words to her. The smile on Madam Gu's face froze, and the wine glass in her hand slipped onto the table.

Gu Hongwei was drinking by himself, his old eyes half-closed, as if he was sleepy. When he heard the voice, he frowned and looked over, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Old Madam Gu quickly concealed her expression, "I'll go change my clothes."

Then she walked out of the banquet hall very quickly.

The second master of the Gu family, Gu Zhaoan, also quietly followed him out. It was he who sent someone to pass the message to Old Madam Gu just now.

Gu Zhaoming and his family were stopped by Old Madam Gu on the way to the banquet hall.

Butler Liu said respectfully, "Old Madam."

Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Zhaoming, her eldest son whom she had not seen for 20 years, with mixed feelings.

"Old Liu, the presidents of Peking University and Hua University haven't arrived yet. Go to the door to greet them."

Madam Gu sent housekeeper Liu away, then looked at Gu Zhaoming, her voice trembling, "Why haven't you come back for so many years?"

Gu Zhaoming looked at the old lady in front of him with a haggard face and white hair, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, "Why don't you know why I don't come back, Madam Gu? You are holding me here now, don't you want to Let me attend my father's birthday party?"

Mrs. Gu looked hurt, "Zhaoming, how can you miss me so much? You don't even want to recognize your mother now? It's been so long since what happened, are you still brooding over it?"

Gu Zhaoming watched her performance calmly, "Was it my second brother or my third brother who asked you to come to stop me?"

Mrs. Gu looked at Gu Zhaoming's cold face, and her eyes gradually became colder.

Sure enough, Gu Zhaoming was not close to her at the beginning, and now twenty years have passed, he is even more indifferent and distant to her.

"You didn't come back for twenty years, why do you want to come back now?"
