“It shouldn’t just be the Xie family; many families from Xihua City will probably be coming,” Sheng Jingchen said slowly, his eyes lowered.
Ye Lin frowned, not quite understanding.
"Alright, alright, none of this really concerns us anyway." Fu Mutian didn't like hearing about these things either. With so many older brothers and sisters above them, why would they need these "spoiled brats"?
"The most important thing right now is to make this banquet a success, after all, this is the first time our Beibei has ever organized one!"
World Tower
"President, the gentleman asked if you can go back at noon today?" Meng Zhaojun asked Gu Nanyan after finishing her report this morning.
"Hmm?" Gu Nanyan looked up, somewhat puzzled.
When did An'an and Zhaojun become so familiar with each other?
If she remembered correctly, just a few months ago An'an was full of hostility towards Zhaojun.
Meng Zhaojun's expression remained unchanged. "President, you were in a meeting this morning. The gentleman couldn't reach you, so he contacted me."
It's not surprising that she had Shen Bei'an's contact information.
After all, Meng Zhaojun was Gu Nanyan's special assistant, and during the time they were filming the variety show, it was Meng Zhaojun who picked up and dropped off Shen Bei'an.
After spending more time together, Shen Beian also felt that Meng Zhaojun was indeed a good special assistant.
No wonder he was able to become a special assistant!
"Go down." Gu Nanyan adjusted his glasses, his eyes flashing slightly.
"Yes." Meng Zhaojun nodded and left to get lunch for Gu Nanyan.
Gu Nanyan opened the holographic video with Shen Bei'an and saw her husband sitting on the sofa with the three others.
"Ah Yan! Are you coming back at noon today?" Shen Bei'an's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Nanyan.
Gu Nanyan smiled and said, "No, I'll finish my work quickly and try to go home early this afternoon." Gu Group is such a large company and Gu family is such a large family. Although many things are delegated to others, Gu Nanyan still needs to make decisions on the major issues himself.
Shen Bei'an sighed. He knew it; all those novels about men putting aside their work to care only for their wives were fake.
His wife is always so busy, so he doesn't contact her during work hours. He goes directly to Zhaojun. It would be too irresponsible of him to just answer the phone during work hours.
If he were one of those working-class people, he would be in a serious meeting when you get a phone call from above and the meeting is interrupted. If he did that during a report, he would be even more furious!
"Alright, alright. Don't forget lunch, Zhaojun will bring it to you. It's your portion size, so eat it all!"
Upon hearing the words of this "steward," Gu Nanyan's smile widened even further. "Naturally, it seems that Zhaojun is already An'an's spy placed by my side." There was a hint of melancholy in his voice. "My An'an's charm is truly immense."
Shen Bei'an blushed a little at Gu Nan'an's words, but then she thought about it again and said, "Hmph, it's good that you know, so you'd better behave yourself! Don't think that just because I'm not going to Huanyu, I don't know about your situation."
He had already gotten to know and made arrangements with everyone in Gu Nanyan's secretary's office.
“Of course, of course. How could I, as a wife, dare to have a shrewish husband?” Gu Nanyan raised her hand in a gesture of surrender.
"What do you mean by 'having a shrewish husband at home'?! Gu Nanyan, explain yourself clearly, how am I a shrewish husband?!" Shen Bei'an was dissatisfied, and his tone involuntarily rose.
This also attracted the attention of the other three people.
"A shrewish husband"? Are you referring to Beibei?
The three looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Yes, yes, I misspoke." Gu Nanyan quickly corrected herself. "I am so grateful to have such a virtuous husband. How could I possibly be so?"
"It's good that you know." Shen Bei'an was pleased to hear this.
When it comes to coaxing Shen Bei'an, Gu Nanyan would say he's second to none.
After the two of them hung up the holographic image.
Fu Mutian smacked twice, "I never expected that our Fifth Master Shen would act like this in front of the Eldest Young Master."
"What are you saying!" Shen Bei'an casually tossed a fairy-themed cushion over. "Let's eat, let's eat. She's not coming back. We still have to keep busy this afternoon!"
"Here you go." Fu Mutian took the cushion with a big smile and got up with Shen Beian.
This real couple is so adorable!

"Are we really not going back to our eldest sister's birthday banquet?" Gu Nanmin lay on the sofa, his youthful yet gentle face showing some hesitation.
Gu Nanyu ate some Tang fruit while drinking tea. "Fifth Sister, why are you in such a hurry? Eldest Sister and Brother-in-law didn't even give us invitations. What are we going there for? Besides, didn't Eldest Sister already make arrangements for Third Brother and Fourth Brother?"
Blinking at the two, Gu Nanyu's eyes were heterochromatic, with his left eye being blue and his right eye being green, a trait inherited from the old lady Gu's side of the bloodline.
Gu Nanjin and Gu Nanjiong both showed strange expressions. "Sixth brother, you really are the sixth brother." Gu Nanjiong rolled his eyes.
Mingming is only one year younger than the seventh child, but how come the sixth child is already so much older?!
Gu Nanyu grinned and picked up another peach-shaped Tang fruit. "Hehe, when I was with Sister Zhaojun, I happened to overhear my elder sister arranging this for her. And from what Sister Zhaojun said, she didn't want you two to be exposed."
The Gu family remains neutral, though they do get involved in many things, but this matter seems to involve some factions vying for power.
So, according to common sense, the Gu family shouldn't be involved, but... since the eldest sister has made the arrangements, they naturally can't refuse.
“Yes,” Gu Nanjin said, his head drooping. “Isn’t Fu Liu being transferred back to the central government? My eldest sister’s idea is to let Fu Liu handle this matter, and as for the other side, we’ll have to ask the fourth brother.”
Although Fu Liu was a few years older than him, they were from the same cohort.
He stayed in the Central District, while Fu Liu was transferred to the Northern District at the time. He returned this year and was also looking for an opportunity to settle down.
"The Fu family..." Gu Nanxing squinted, a lollipop still dangling from his mouth, "Giving away credit, Third Brother? Didn't your eldest sister compensate you?"
Gu Nanjin reached out and ripped the lollipop out of Gu Nanxing's mouth, then threw it aside. "Eat less of these candies. You'll be fine once you're like your brother-in-law. Of course, it'll be compensation."
Gu Nanxing: ...She doesn't smoke, so what's wrong with her eating a candy!
Sixth Brother is still eating dessert!
"Let me guess, is it from the Zouwu mutual series?" Gu Nanmin moved closer. Although she had one too, it wasn't a custom-made one.
The Mutual series currently offers very few custom designs, and she certainly didn't manage to snag one.
"Of course." Gu Nanjin doesn't have any other hobbies, he just likes playing with cars. Don't tell him things like "the poor play with cars, the rich play with watches."
He, the Third Young Master Gu, just loves playing with cars!
"By the way, has that matter at Yuxuan Pavilion been resolved?" Mentioning the Mutual Series reminded Gu Nanxing of that incident.
Speaking of this, Gu Nanjin and the other two looked even more worried. "My eldest sister is going to send me to South Africa, what do you think?" they said through gritted teeth.
Damn it, don't let him catch the guy behind him!
They absolutely have to be torn to pieces!
