Reborn one hour before death

The He family is going to have a big banquet tonight.

The poster is the old man of the He family.

The location was set at the He family’s Xishan Villa.

If I remember correctly, the He family rarely took things so seriously. And it had been at least ten years since the last time the old man had hosted a banquet in his name.

Everyone has heard that something big is happening in the He family. And many bigwigs will be here tonight. Under such circumstances, even if it is just a short notice, everyone wants to see the excitement without giving face, so today is very special. There was a rare traffic jam on the way to the western suburbs in the evening.

The traffic was moving in an orderly manner towards the other courtyard...

Sitting in Gu Yuye's car were his mother, his sister and Shunxiong.

Logically, Gu's stock price had soared today, the news of Gu Yuwei and Shunxiong's marriage had spread, and the group had new vitality... They should all be happy, but the four people in the car were not happy.

Gu Yuye was looking at the endless motorcade heading to the villa, and inexplicably thought of his own wedding three days ago, when only one-third of the people showed up at the huge venue, and only a bunch of reporters were left before the ceremony ended. It was as embarrassing as it could be, as awkward as it could be.

When he and Jiang Yu got married, the scale was just like today, with a constant flow of cars and almost all the upper class in Jiangcheng came to congratulate them. In just a few years, his house was deserted.

Thinking about his family, they were once ranked second only to the three major families in Jiangcheng. But in just a few months, they have become worlds apart.

Thinking of Gu Yuye, who was full of vigor and energy half a year ago and dominated the business world, but now he has been doing homework all night and just wants to see if he has a chance to sell his plan to a big boss today...

Even though he was not discouraged, after falling so many times and so hard, the feeling of failure still lingered...

Dong Jiefen kept pressing the calculator on her mobile phone.

Kang Anya took away her years of savings, and she really couldn't swallow this.

She had so much stuff that she couldn't even remember how many there were.

Every time she thought of a missing piece of jewelry or a vanished bag, she felt as if a knife had stabbed her heart...

Gu Yuwei was also angry about this.

But Shunxiong was by her side, so she didn't dare to lose her temper, and felt that she was about to get internal injuries.

The closer she got to Xishan Villa, the more she remembered the last time she came here, which was many years ago. At that time, she was like a flower fairy, moving among her peers, sizing up boys of the same generation as her, and secretly choosing which one was worthy of her.

But what about me now? I dare not stay in my hometown, and I have to rely on the influence of my foreign fiancé to come back. Shunxiong is rich, but when I think of He Ming, Tang Xin and that group of people, who are worse than Shunxiong?

After all, Shunxiong had been married once and was more than ten years older than her. Compared with those young talents, he was still a long way behind.

She had actually fallen to the point of hiding her true nature and humbly serving such an old thing!

She was becoming less and less happy...

Shunxiong wasn't very happy either.

When he just came to the banquet, Gu Yuwei, who had always been obedient to him, actually asked him to change into three suits. She also suggested that he shave his beard, wear insoles to increase his height, and even called a hairdresser to do his hair.

She called it "etiquette", but he knew some Chinese, and he heard her tell the hairdresser to "make her look younger".

So she thinks he's too old? Too short? Too ugly?

Shunxiong was unhappy and rejected them all.

Gu Yuwei ran away feeling wronged, and he quietly followed her, only to discover a different side of this woman. She was smashing things around in the room, cursing, like a madman.

Is this still the gentle and beautiful fiancée?

The four of them just sat there in silence, each with their own concerns...

At this moment, Dong Jiefen's phone suddenly rang.

"What?" Her voice suddenly rose an octave. "That little bitch, how dare she!"

Gu Yuwei in the back seat subconsciously realized that her mother was scolding Kang Anyaya, and immediately asked her the reason with concern.

Dong Jiefen: "I gave Xiao Liu the serial numbers of several luxury items to check, and he found them on the second-hand market. That bitch Kang Anya actually sold all our treasures at a low price!"

"what!"

Gu Yuwei couldn't help but scream and walked up to Dong Jiefen and snatched her phone, checking the photos she had just received.

Aren’t those in the photos all her babies?

"That bitch is a thief! A hypocritical white lotus girl! Don't let me find her, or I will kill her!"

Gu Yuwei looked fierce, and Gu Yuye warned her through the rearview mirror, "Pay attention to your image!"

Gu Yuwei understood what was happening in a second and glanced at Shunxiong beside her with a fake smile.

Fortunately, the guy had his eyes closed.

"Brother, I'm going to say this. I won't let that bitch go."

"Don't forget the purpose of coming to the banquet tonight. It is to use Shunxiong to consolidate the Gu family's position in Jiangcheng. Tonight I want to find some big guys to discuss cooperation. If possible, let Shunxiong participate as well to see if we can get capital from him." Gu Yuye emphasized again.

Otherwise, why would he bring these two troubles here?

Gu Yuwei: "If it works..."

Gu Yuye: "I'll give you some benefits."

"It's a word."

"Just keep your tails between your legs and behave yourself. We can discuss other matters after we get back."

"Got it." The mother and daughter said in unison.

Shunxiong is a big boss of the island country's capital. His appearance tonight will definitely make him a celebrity. Such a good venue is an opportunity for them to reshape their status in the upper class of Jiangcheng.

Gu Yuwei gently leaned her head on Shunxiong's shoulder, and Shunxiong's closed eyes opened slightly.

The muscles on his face trembled slightly and he closed his eyes again.

He came here today for a purpose, to make friends. So he asked someone to prepare a translator for him in advance. Just now on the way, he wanted to test the translator, so he put the earphone on his other ear while Gu Yuwei was not paying attention.

As a result, he heard the entire conversation between the three people.

In just five minutes, he received five messages: Gu Yuwei's temper was indeed fake; her mother was not a well-mannered rich lady; Gu Yuye's family was in turmoil, and his newlywed wife was a thief or a bitch; the Gu family was in trouble now; they were using him...

In short, he was deceived.

All-round...

"I haven't seen this place for a few years, but it's still stunning." The closer they got to the villa, the more the Gu mother and daughter could not hide their envy.

This is the old man’s Feng Shui treasure land, and ordinary people can’t enter.

I heard that the original site of this place was the villa of an official of the previous dynasty. The garden is very outstanding. After the renovation, it is definitely a winner's enjoyment.

Dong Jiefen: "Oh, Shunxiong's manor is magnificent, but compared to this place, it's nothing."

Gu Yuwei: "No matter how exquisite the Japanese's things are, they are still stingy and definitely not as good as here. It's a pity that I don't have the blessing to live in such a place."

Gu Yuye frowned: "Why are you still saying this now!"

Gu Yuwei: "It's all your fault! If it weren't for those two bitches Jiang Yu and Kang Anya, would I have to serve such a devil old man?"

Gu Yuye scolded: "Shut up."

Gu Yuwei couldn't close her mouth. She saw Tang Xin helping the He family entertain guests not far away.

"Tang Xin is so unreasonably handsome, I wonder which little bitch will get the chance to take advantage of him!"

She murmured, not noticing that the man with his eyes closed beside her had his eyebrows and nose trembling several times.
