Because of this, Hua Yin was often ridiculed by his family.
Gu Nanyan seemed to know about this as well, and directly arranged for Hua Yin to go to Western Europe.
"Gu Xingxiao! Don't think that just because you're a son of a collateral branch, I won't dare to touch you!" Hua Yin's beautiful face instantly darkened, and her gaze towards Gu Xingxiao became exceptionally sinister.
This is undoubtedly the past that Hua Yin least wants to mention.
Hua Yin's grandfather was the steward of Old Master Gu, and his mother was the steward of Uncle Gu. He should have been the steward most qualified to become the new generation head of the family, but the Feng family produced Feng You!
Gu Xingxiao was not intimidated at all. They had trained and grown up together since childhood. Apart from Feng You and Zhao Jun, who followed Gu Nanyan, who among the rest did not know who the others were?
"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"This is my position. If you want to take it, you'll have to see if you're qualified!" Gu Xingxiao sneered, his brows furrowed, and his gaze towards him was far from gentle.
The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, seemingly about to come to blows.
"Have you said enough?" Gu Nanyan asked slowly.
As mentioned earlier, Gu Nanyan never discourages healthy competition among his subordinates.
The Gu family adheres to the law of the jungle, and so does Gu Nanyan's family.
The two instantly suppressed all their emotions and almost simultaneously bowed to Gu Nanyan, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive us."
His emotions stabilized instantly.
"Since you both want to go with An'an, let him choose for himself when he comes out later." Gu Nanyan leaned on the table, his movements somewhat lazy, and gestured for the two to get up. "Why the sudden urge to return to the capital?"
This question is clearly directed at Hua Yin.
Hua Yin shrugged, his tone no longer as casual as usual, "I've been away from home for so long, of course I want to go home." He lowered his eyes.
"To tell you the truth." Gu Nanyan went to get a teacup, and Gu Xingjian stepped forward to make tea for him.
"My lord, there's no need to discuss private matters, is there?" Hua Yin's cheeks flushed slightly.
Gu Xingjian handed the tea to Gu Nanyan with both hands, then straightened up and looked Hua Yin up and down.
Indeed, he should be getting married at his age.
"You haven't been in the capital all these years. Even if you have a favorite young master, he should be in Western Europe, right?" Gu Nanyan took a sip of tea and asked casually.
Hua Yin muttered, "My lord, you can't say that. Doesn't this viper still have contact with Young Master Ji? They're old friends from their youth. Why can't I have my own childhood sweetheart?"
"You're the one who still has contact with Young Master Ji!" Gu Xingxiao retorted immediately upon hearing those four words, like a cat with its fur standing on end.
"You see, my lord." Hua Yin shrugged at Gu Nanyan, looking like he was saying, "That's exactly right."
"No, my lord, don't listen to this flower butterfly's nonsense. What connection do I have with Young Master Ji?!" Gu Xingxiao's anxious rebuttal only made things worse.
Gu Nanyan originally thought that Ji Luqi's feelings for Gu Xingxiao were one-sided, but he didn't expect that the two of them were mutually attracted.
To be honest, Gu Nanyan didn't know how Ji Luqi and Gu Xingxiao got together. In her memory, she had only met the two of them a few times.
Not to mention that Ji Lüqi traveled all over the world and Gu Xingxiao was stationed on Fuyun Island.
As for who Hua Yin's so-called childhood sweetheart was, Gu Nanyan could only think of one person—Zhongli Yifei, the eldest son of the Zhongli family.
"I don't care about your private matters," Gu Nanyan said, rubbing his temples. Judging from their ages, both of them were approaching thirty, so getting married wasn't really a problem.
"Just make sure it doesn't interfere with your work."
"Also, no matter who An'an chooses later, the other person is not allowed to say anything more." Gu Nanyan raised his eyes, his gaze towards the two of them sharp.
"Understood!" The two men bowed in greeting.
"How are the arrangements for the medical exchange meeting going?" Gu Nanyan nodded and turned to ask about other matters.
Shen Bei'an and Wei Shengxi were watching the dance together, and there was nothing more pleasant than that.
Suddenly, a phone rang abruptly.
This prompted Shen Beian to turn his head and look.
It was a new communication option that appeared on Wei Shengxi's analog watch. Wei Shengxi glanced at it and saw that it was Fu Muqian.
She nodded apologetically to Shen Beian and went outside to answer the phone.
Shen Beian wasn't very curious; his mind was completely focused on the dance.
In other words, with this, who would still be playing on their phone or watching videos?
"Ziqian, what's wrong?" Wei Shengxi turned and went into the room next door, turned on the holographic image, and saw Fu Muqian dressed in comfortable home clothes, but his face showed more anxiety.
"It wasn't me, it was Zili." Fu Muqian's tone was laced with gritted teeth. "The media in the Empire reported that Zili went to those kinds of brothels when she was in Western Europe!"
He knew, of course, that even if Hua Yueli were given a hundred lives, she would never betray Zhou Zhi.
However, it was indeed Hua Yueli's figure. After so many years of being classmates and working together, how could Fu Muqian not recognize his good friend?!
"A place of pleasure?" Wei Shengxi frowned slightly. In Wei Shengxi's impression, Hua Yueli didn't seem like the kind of person who would go to such a place.
"Crazy Desire Club, a well-known BDSM club in Western European high society."
If it were a typical entertainment venue, they could just send out a PR person and say they were going for drinks and a dance performance to get by.
But that's Crazy Desire Club!
Looking at the world's most prestigious families, how many are unknown to them?
As for those young men who are already in the BDSM community, there's no need to say more.
Mentioning this club, Wei Shengxi's expression also turned sour. "How could Zili go to a place like that? Has she gone mad?!"
Wei Shengxi knew that this must have been when Hua Yueli was a diplomat in Western Europe.
At that time, Zhou Zhi was still in China. The two of them had their own jobs and were very busy, so they could hardly see each other.
But he also spent every day with her via holographic image.
As for those kinds of places, none of the twelve of them frequented them, so they didn't have a good impression of those places; they just knew they existed.
"I can't get in touch with her. Uncle Hua is currently attending a conference in the Americas. It should be Aunt Ji talking to Zili." Fu Muqian's subordinates saw the news and immediately relayed the information to Fu Muqian.
Fu Muqian definitely wanted to stop them, but Qingran's people were not to be trifled with.
It spread very quickly.
This caused Hua Yueli's approval rating to plummet!
At the very least, a country's president cannot be someone who is into BDSM!
Aunt Ji, Ji Feiyue, is the third great-aunt of the Ji family in Xihua City and the mother of Hua Yueli.
The best way to describe her is as a gentle master.
The previous generation of stars in the capital were Gu Xiuhuang and Wei Shengsui, while Xihua City only had one shining pearl—Ji Feiyue.
No one knows why Ji Feiyue didn't marry later, but instead married the third young master of the Hua family.
Who could have imagined that the third son of the Hua family would eventually rise to power and become president?
