Chapter 78: The Story of the Gu Family

Just as Gu Yejin said, a few days after they returned home, Gu Yejin's cousin sent someone to deliver the invitation letter.

Ye Wenliu, who received the invitation letter, tore it up and threw it into the trash can without even looking at it: "Old Lin, next time you see something from their house, just throw it out. It's an eyesore."

"Yes." Old housekeeper Lin knew that Ye Wenliu was angry and was just saying it. It was not good for them to interfere in the master's affairs, so they just threw it away and gave others a handle.

However, my uncle's family was persistent and sent their assistant to deliver the message.

"Mrs. Gu," the assistant advised, "We are all family. The current Gu Group was built by you and Mr. Gu. The host family has received your kindness, so of course you have to attend the engagement banquet."

"Heh." It would be fine if he didn't mention this. As soon as he mentioned this, Ye Wenliu got angry. "They also know that Gu's Group was built by me and Old Gu. Those who don't know would think it belonged to Gu Zhenhai."

The assistant's palms were sweating. This was not his own decision. Gu Zhenhai taught him to say this: "You said this, and you are the elder. Everyone in the Gu family will be there that day. I still hope you..."

"What does the Gu family have to do with me?" Ye Wenliu said without hesitation, "Gu Zhenhai taught you to say that, right? Go back and tell him that he may have forgotten, but I haven't. He was the main force when Master Gu expelled Old Gu from the family."

Seeing that Ye Wenliu was getting angrier and angrier, the assistant ran out tumbling.

"Luo Shu, Mom won't hide it from you either..."

Xie Luoshu had no intention of listening, after all, this was an internal matter of the Gu family. But the assistant came at an inopportune time, and Xie Luoshu and Yanyan happened to be nearby.

Xie Luoshu originally wanted to take Yanyan away. Unexpectedly, the assistant said something shocking, and the first sentence made Ye Wenliu angry. Xie Luoshu quickly comforted Ye Wenliu and listened to the whole process.

Ye Wenliu's family background was not good, she was from the countryside. That's how it is in the countryside, people can't afford to raise children but love to have children, and Ye Wenliu's family is no exception. She has two older brothers, an older sister, a younger sister and two younger brothers.

She has been stuck in the middle since she was a child. When there are good things in the family, they are first given to her brothers because they are capable and are the pillars of the family, then to her younger brothers and sisters because they are small and need to grow up. Then it is her elder sister. In two years, her two elder sisters will be of marriageable age. They have to eat well and look good before others will be interested in them. Finally, it is her turn.

But she worked hard and did well in her studies. She was among the top students in primary and middle school. At that time, several teachers came to the village to teach. One of them liked her very much and said that if she worked harder on the college entrance examination, she could get into a good university and go abroad.

She did pass the exam, but her family wouldn't let her go. In fact, her family didn't want her to go to high school. But when her married sister came back, she said that if she went to high school, she could find a capable man, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

But university is not an option. People of this age in the village are all married and have children. She has never been in a relationship and still wants to study in a big city. Not to mention the tuition and other living expenses, it will cost a lot of money. Someone hid her admission letter and lied to her that she didn't have it.

Within a few days, they found a man for her, and they said they would hold the wedding in a few days. Ye Wenliu naturally disagreed, saying that even if she didn't get into university, she would still go to a big city.

Her father was so angry that he beat her and locked her in the room. He said that she would no longer be his family member once she left the house. Ye Wenliu didn't care. Fortunately, Ye Wenliu was smart. He escaped and found the admission letter. He left a letter and ran away secretly in the middle of the night.

When she was in college, she met Gu Yejin's father, Gu Tianyi. The two of them naturally got together. Later, she found out that Gu Tianyi was from the Gu family and was the favorite grandson of Grandpa Gu. Because he didn't like the atmosphere of his family, he ran back to China to attend college. When Grandpa Gu found out, of course he didn't agree that the two of them were together, thinking that they were not a good match.

But Mr. Gu was in poor health and could not take the plane. Otherwise, he would have rushed over overnight to ask them to break up. Under the instigation of a group of Gu family members led by Gu Zhenhai, Mr. Gu said something similar to her father: If you marry this woman, you are no longer a member of the Gu family.

Gu Tianyi was also very determined and married Ip Man-Liu the next day. He took a photo of the marriage certificate and threw it to Grandpa Gu with a message: Thank you for raising me for so many years. Tianyi will have nothing to do with the Gu family from now on. Grandpa Gu was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction.

Afterwards, the two of them worked together to save money and started from scratch to establish the current Gu Group. It was not originally called this name, but Wentian Group.

The younger generation of the Gu family was not capable. After Grandpa Gu gave up power due to poor health, the Gu family could not keep up with the pace of the times and could no longer survive abroad, so they thought about returning to China to seek a way out.

I didn't expect to find that Gu Tianyi's company was thriving in China when I returned. Several people in my family were jealous and used all their resources to deal with Wentian Group.

Although Gu was forced to return to China, it was once the largest overseas group. It had much more resources than Gu Tianyi, whose business was still developing. In addition, with the help of Mr. Gu himself, Gu Tianyi was naturally no match for them, and Wentian Group was acquired by Gu Group.

Mr. Gu even said: He didn't agree to sever the relationship when we asked him to! After all, we are all family, all with the surname Gu, isn't it good for the family to work hard together?

What a great guy? But this time, Grandpa Gu is completely exhausted. He can only stay in the old house to cultivate his body and mind. The rest of the Gu family was too well protected. In the past, they would always ask Grandpa Gu for help. Now that Grandpa Gu is not here, no one can beat Gu Tianyi. Gu Tianyi and Ye Wenliu are not in a hurry. They will take their time and defeat them one by one.

By the time the rest of the Gu family realized what was happening, the Gu Group was already theirs. They thought about changing the name back, but since Mr. Gu had to kneel down and beg them, they were too embarrassed to do so and just left it as it was.

As Gu Ye-ting and Gu Ye-jin grew up, the Gu family also stopped their activities. Until the car accident. It was said that the brakes failed accidentally, but Ip Man-liu suspected that the car accident was related to the Gu family. Gu Ye-jin also thought so, but his people never found any useful clues. It can only be said that the person who did it was really clean.

Gu Zhenhai is the most suspicious. Grandpa Gu has three children, two sons and a daughter, and the eldest has two daughters. The family does not fight or compete, doing business abroad, and only returns to China during the New Year or some important events. The daughter is the second child. Her husband was married and gave birth to a son and a daughter.

The third son is Gu Tianyi's father. He has three sons, and he is very proud of them. The eldest son is Gu Zhenhai, the second son is Gu Wenbo, and the youngest son is Gu Tianyi.

Because of this, the heirs of the Gu family are basically the third wife. As for the second wife, the older generation believes that the daughter's family is an outsider after all, so what if her husband is an adopted wife?

"What about the second uncle?" Xie Luoshu grasped the key point.

"Second brother." Ye Wenliu thought for a moment and said, "Second brother studied art. Like Lao Gu, he didn't like that home. He spent the past few years collecting folk songs in various places. He only came back in the past two years because Lao Gu got into trouble. In fact, it was the second brother who persuaded Lao Gu to return to China to study."

In Ye Wenliu's impression, the second brother was a nice person. He was not on the same side as the Gu family, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face the next day.

"Second brother, you came to me just for this?" Ye Wenliu's eyes were sharp. She relied on herself, not Gu Tianyi, to be successful in the shopping mall for so many years.

"Sister-in-law, this banquet is ostensibly an engagement banquet, but in reality it's a reunion banquet." Gu Wenbo said, "Everyone in the Gu family will be present this time, including my grandfather."

"Everyone?" Ye Wenliu sneered, "Ah Jin is still busy working abroad."

"This..." Gu Wenbo's face froze instantly.

"Don't think I know nothing after waking up from a year-long coma." Many years later, Ip Man-liu is still as charming as he was then. "The overseas incident was caused by Gu Zhenhai, and now it seems that you are also involved."

Gu Wenbo pretended to be dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending." Ye Wenliu was too lazy to play along with them. "I should have known that none of you are good people."

"I'll just say it straight." Since Ye Wenliu had exposed it like that, Gu Wenbo didn't pretend anymore. "My old man is dying. He wants to make public his will and divide the family property at this engagement party."

"Oh." Ye Wenliu didn't care. "What does it have to do with me?"

Gu Group now belongs to Gu Yejin. Even Master Gu can't touch it. As for other things of the Gu family, they are just a drop in the bucket, and she doesn't care about them.

Gu Wenbo looked unhappy: "Don't be confused, sister-in-law. Although Jin has the most shares now, it's less than 50%. As long as big brother wants, those people on the board of directors may... "

Ye Wenliu's face changed slightly. After Gu's Group merged with Wentian Group, most of the board members of Wentian Group were dismissed. If it weren't for her and Gu Yejin, it is estimated that all the shareholders of Wentian Group would have been dismissed. So now most of the board members of Gu's Group are Gu's people.

Otherwise, Gu Zhenhai would not have taken over as soon as something happened to them. Those people in the Gu family are really a bunch of stinky bugs!

She didn't work hard, but she was still trying to seize their company. It was estimated that this time, they came for the shares held by Gu Laoyezi. Gu Laoyezi's shares were not too much, but not too little either. Hers, Ajin's and Gu Laoyezi's were more than 50%. It seemed that she had to go to the Hongmen Banquet this time.

"Leave the invitation letter, you can go now."

Gu Wenbo stood up and said, "Please ask Mr. Xie and Yanyan to be there on time as well."

"You don't need to worry about whether they go or not." Ye Wenliu said bluntly.

Gu Wenbo was not angry. He straightened his suit and left calmly.

Ye Wenliu leaned on the sofa and pressed his temples. As a child of the Gu family, Yanyan must have a share of Grandpa Gu's inheritance. But since Yanyan was born, she has never seen Grandpa Gu, so the inheritance left to Yanyan must not be much.

The same is true for A Jin. Although Mr. Gu is very satisfied with A Jin, A Jin has brought down Gu Zhenhai in the past two years, which undoubtedly makes Mr. Gu very angry. In addition, A Jin and Luo Shu are married.

Mr. Gu has always disliked people in the entertainment industry. In Ye Wenliu's opinion, they are self-righteous. In general, Ye Wenliu thinks that Xie Luoshu and Yanyan don't need to go. If they go, they might get bullied. She is enough alone.
