Ever since Ruan Mingyu, head of the Gu family, stayed in the hot spring hotel under the consortium, the hotel no longer accepts foreign guests to ensure that the old lady's cleanliness will not be disturbed.

Family banquets are a tradition of the Gu family.In which city the patriarch arrives, all family members in this city must attend a banquet to welcome the patriarch to show respect and submission.

In order to appease Ruan Mingyu's anger, Gu Yanjue specially invited the only inheritor of Jianglin cuisine from Wanyan Tower in Longcheng, more than 1000 kilometers away, to cook in person.

The banquet was arranged in the Crystal Palace of the hot spring hotel.The eight-story crystal chandelier worth millions in the banquet hall is like a star river in the three-story dome, shining brightly on the men and women under the light.

The waiters in crisp work clothes shuttled back and forth between the tables to arrange the plates.

When Gu Yanjue entered the venue, all members of Liancheng's family had already arrived.

As soon as he appeared, Min Min immediately ran to him, and whispered to him, "Brother, the old lady is in a good mood these two days. Don't worry."

"En." Gu Yanjue lovingly rubbed the hair on the top of her head, and praised, "Well done."

Seeing that Gu Zhenglei, who was sitting by the long table, was looking at him, he walked towards him with a slight smile on his face, and when he passed by him, he called out respectfully: "Uncle."

Then he bypassed him and stood on the left side of the long table, waiting for the waiter to help him open the seat.

Gu Zhenglei rested one hand on the white satin tablecloth with dark patterns, playing with a cigar between his fingers and kept tapping on the tabletop.According to the rules of the old lady, no one can smoke in front of her, nor can they smell of smoke on their bodies.

She is the queen of the Gu family, and no one can go against her wishes.If it wasn't for the fact that her most beloved grandson made a mistake and was caught by Gu Yanjue, it would be impossible for Gu Yanjue and Qian Siyuan's marriage to be annulled.

After Gu Yanjue sat down, he kindly reminded his uncle: "Uncle, the old lady can't even see this thing."

A contemptuous smile hooked the corner of his mouth, but there was no sound, Gu Zhenglei nodded: "I know."

Then he called the waiter to take the cigar away, knowingly asked: "Ouyang Jie's matter has been settled? I heard Mr. Xiao helped a lot, didn't you go to thank him?"

Gu Yanjue said lightly, "Thank you."

Suddenly, Gu Zhenglei looked at him no longer with the solemn eyes of an elder, but with a dark and playful look: "Just to remind you, stay away from her. This widow has a bad reputation. You are not married yet. The position of president It doesn’t count as sitting still. You can just play with that little canary, but with Xiao Yan, I’m afraid that the Gu’s consortium will be skinned by her.”

"What's the skin?" While the two were talking, Gu Yanji with a playful smile came over and leaned over the chair behind Gu Yanjue.

He didn't look back, squinting and sneering, "Pick off the skin of the unworthy descendants of the Gu family."

The corners of Gu Yanji's eyes twitched, he straightened his waist slowly, straightened his suit, and boldly sarcastically said, "I don't know who is the unworthy descendant of the Gu family?"

Gu Yanjue raised his eyebrows, with Ruan Mingyu around, this prodigal fox pretending to be a tiger dare not take him seriously.

He lowered his head and chuckled, with a cold expression on his face: "Speaking of it, the funds on the company's books have been a little tight recently. The money you lost at the gambling table will be discussed next month."

"Brother..." Hearing that Gu Yanjue wanted to cut his living expenses, Gu Yanji's expression changed instantly, and he shamelessly begged him for mercy.

But before the words came out, the old lady came to the banquet hall.

Everyone present got up together and stood there respectfully waiting for her to take the seat.

Today's Ruan Mingyu is wearing a plain platinum silk cheongsam, with simple beaded flowers on her silver hair and light makeup on her brows, but her bones are rich and noble.

On the other hand, her own daughter, Gu Qin, was well dressed but not luxurious, in order to avoid overshadowing the old lady's limelight.

Ruan Mingyu walked slowly to the head of the long table step by step, scanning the crowd continuously.Looking down at the world, as if in the clouds, she enjoyed this state very much.

From a young age to the present, as the patriarch of the largest family in the Eastern Kingdom, her power in the business world is almost as unmatched as a queen.

In my life, only that woman was an accident.It almost destroyed all her pride and glory back then.

After she sat down, everyone could only sit down with her approval.

Sitting next to her on the left are Gu Yanjue and Gu Yanji.On the right are Gu Zhenglei, Gu Qin, Min Min and Min Debo.

Ruan Mingyu didn't want to see this son-in-law, and he was arranged last at every family banquet.And Min Debo's temper has always been gentle and never cares about these things, which makes Gu Qin feel guilty.

Gu Yanjue looked at the empty seat beside him calmly, but Gu Yanji's boy was not next to him.

Anyone else coming?
Who else in the Gu family is in Liancheng, would I not know?

Soon he looked away. According to the usual practice, the old lady had to lecture before the meal.

Ruan Mingyu folded her hands on the faucet of the cane, and said in a calm voice with the majesty of a superior: "Liancheng is an important industrial site of our Gu family. My old lady is getting old, and I seldom go here in recent years. It's not taking advantage of the opportunity of the burial of an old friend, I'm afraid I won't touch the old bones to bother you busy people."

The speed of speech is not fast, but the tone is not good.From the very beginning, the whole banquet scene was plunged into a tense atmosphere.

She scanned the crowd back and forth, and finally her eyes fell on Gu Yanjue.

Gu Yanjue didn't say a word, but Gu Zhenglei flattered and said, "If it weren't for the supervision of the eldest lady these years, how could the Gu's consortium develop so smoothly? The health of the eldest lady is our blessing as juniors."

Gu Yanji said coquettishly, "Grandma, how can you be an old woman? You are the eldest lady of a famous family, and your status is very respected."

He was already partial, but his words were as sweet as honey, and a smile appeared on the serious face of the old lady.But when it came to Gu Yanjue, her black eyes were extremely gloomy, and her displeasure was evident.

Blame it on her eldest son and grandchildren for not living up to expectations and not being able to take over the position of president.The major factions in the family are fighting fiercely, but Gu Yanjue, the only son who has no relatives to help, can be manipulated by her at will.

Who would have thought that his methods are so ruthless that the city's mansion is so deep that he doesn't even pay attention to himself, the patriarch, now.

Gu Yanjue also understood in his heart that Ruan Mingyu's nomination for him to be the president of the Gu family was just a helpless move.

It's just that she wants to go back now, it's too late.

Looking up, the light amber pupils just absorbed all the light refracted by the crystal chandelier, looking so majestic in his radiant spirit.

He looked calm, and said with a slight smile: "Grandma, Yan Jue knows that I did not do it safely enough in the recent consortium. It is my fault for making grandma worry. But this time, one of the four major families is lonely and the other is in turmoil. Yes. As far as our family is concerned, it may be a good thing to lose a little money, but to solve two opponents at once."

To Ruan Mingyu's ears, every sound of his grandma pierced her eardrums.

His own grandma was the person she hated the most.

Even though she was so disgusted, she remained calm and said calmly: "There is no right or wrong in the business world, only winning and losing. Yan Jue, you are a smart kid, and you should know that this business world pays attention to a strong alliance. You, Only when there is a lack of help from a background, people will be suppressed in turn."

"With grandma around, I won't be crushed."
