"Hey, let's not stand at the door and talk, let's go in quickly." Qin Yi took Gu Jinhe's hand and walked inside first.

Wu Lu, who had just arranged things, walked over. He and Qin Xu looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then followed Gu Jinhe in.

Looking at Wu Lu's back, Qin Xu frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Gu Jinhe would come to the Wu family's banquet and bring him with him.

Wu Shuran has always disliked his illegitimate brother, and many people in the circle are aware of this.

There was no other reason, it was just that among the major families, only the Wu family had an illegitimate child, who was taken to the Wu family and raised for a few years when he was a child.

I'm afraid this incident is a shame for Wu Shuran and a stain that ruins her reputation.

So I have disliked Wu Lu since I was a child.

When there were outsiders present, he just ignored Wu Lu, and no one knew what was going on behind his back.

But just looking at Wu Lu's attitude towards Wu Shuran, you can tell that he must have done something bad.

But this is the Wu family's family affair. Others have no right to interfere, nor any reason to interfere.

It was not until later when Wu Lu was sent to prison by the Wu family that others realized that Wu Lu was not having a good time in the Wu family.

I even heard that when I first came to the Wu family as a child, I was either beaten or scolded.

When he grew up, he seemed to be afraid that Wu Lu would threaten Wu Qian'an's status as heir, so he took ruthless action and sent Wu Lu to jail.

The Wu family would never allow a person with a criminal record and stains to be the heir.

This move of cutting off the source of the problem apparently preserved Wu Qian'an's position as heir, but on the other hand, it also brought an enemy to the Wu family.

However, it seemed that the Wu family was very confident that they could deal with Wu Lu, so they did not continue to deal with him after Wu Lu was released from prison.

It is also possible that he did not take action because he knew that Wu Lu was now with Gu Jinhe and had some concerns.

Several people came to the banquet hall, which was already crowded with people and noisy with food and drink.

The hall was brightly lit. Under the dazzling and gorgeous crystal chandelier, a young woman was standing on the stage holding a microphone and singing.

There was a crowd of people below the stage, whistling and cheering.

Gu Jinhe took a look at her, and Qin Yi said beside her: "Her name is Linlang, and she is a very famous singer." Then he leaned closer and whispered: "I heard that she is dating the young master of the Bai family."

"The Bai family?" Gu Jinhe was a little confused. She didn't seem to have heard of a family with the surname Bai in the capital.

Qin Yi: "It's not surprising that you don't know. You should also know that our family has a clear rule that family members cannot take the civil service exam."

That means you can’t enter politics.

It is a prominent family with great background and strength. If any of its members enter politics, there will be some unpleasant consequences.

For the sake of the family's continuation and safety, there is a tacit understanding among the aristocratic families that the children of aristocratic families cannot enter politics.

The people above would not allow such a thing to happen, so the families were only competing for resources, and on the surface they were all in harmony and there was no conflict.

But the Bai family is completely different from other aristocratic families. Almost everyone in their family is a civil servant, and some even hold high positions.

Such families are the most careful about their reputation. Almost all of their children are strict with themselves, never get close to anyone outside, and rarely interact with children of aristocratic families.

Gu Jinhe looked at the beautiful woman on the stage. She sang the lyrics with her eyes closed. There seemed to be worry between her brows. The sweet singing voice spread to every corner of the hall through the microphone.

Gu Jinhe tilted his head and looked at Qin Yi: "Why is she here?"

Since the Bai family and the aristocratic families don't have any contact, it doesn't make sense that the girlfriend of the young master of the Bai family would come to sing at the banquet hosted by the Wu family.

Qin Yi looked around and then said, "It's that weird Wu Shuran. The company that Linlang signed with is owned by the Wu family. Isn't that controlled by others? The company asked her to come, so she had to come even if she didn't want to."

"That Mr. Bai doesn't know?"

Qin Yi shrugged slightly. How could she know this? She only found out about Linlang and the young master of the Bai family dating by accident.

Almost no one in the capital knew about this.

The Bai family’s headquarters is not in the capital. Qin Yi found out about this when he accidentally saw Linlang with the young master of the Bai family during a trip.

So Qin Yi guessed that Wu Shuran might not know about this.

As for why Young Master Bai still let Linlang stay in the Wu family's company, it is not clear.

Maybe they were just playing around and not taking it seriously. After all, with the Bai family's background and strict family traditions, they might not necessarily be interested in Linlang, who was a singer.

A short song only lasts a few minutes, and in this time Linlang has already finished singing the song.

"Sing another song, sing another song!" the people in the audience whistled and shouted.

Before Gu Jinhe came, she didn't know how long Linlang had been singing, but judging from the people in the audience, she should have been singing for a while.

Surrounded by people in the audience, she couldn't leave the stage even if she wanted to. Linlang looked obviously pale, but she had no choice but to hold the microphone and continue singing along with the changing music.

Qin Yi pulled Gu Jinhe to a seat in the corner, and Qin Xu and Wu Lu also sat down next to them.

Qin Yi looked at Wu Lu, sized him up and said, "He looks different with his hair down. His temperament is enhanced."

Wu Lu held a goblet in his hand, which was filled with amber. He shook the cup gently and said, "I'll take it as you praising my handsomeness."

Tsk, Qin Yi immediately withdrew his gaze and stopped looking at this conceited guy.

Even if you are in a corner, there are still people looking at you from time to time, and it is obvious who they are.

Qin Xu frowned slightly. He looked at the people in the hall. He didn't know how Wu Shuran invited them. There were even many people here whom he didn't know.

He doesn't know him, which means he is not from this circle.

He told this matter. Wu Shuran held a banquet but invited people who were not in this circle. It couldn't be that she wanted to increase these people's connections.

According to the news Qin Xu received, except for the Murong family, which normally would not show up, people from other eight great families had come.

The sons of the seven great families have all come, and there are countless people who want to curry favor with the rich and powerful. If Wu Shuran treats them as a favor and gives them away, it would be really speechless.

Qin Yi said, "Who knows what that weirdo is thinking? I also noticed that many of the people who come here are actors and directors. She is probably trying to expand her company's network."

Qin Xu looked carefully and indeed saw quite a few famous actors and several directors, including some he admired.

What on earth is Wu Shuran planning?

However, Gu Jinhe's gaze was towards the door, because she saw Chen Wen's figure, but the person standing next to her was a little unexpected for her.
