"Yes! I believe in you, husband." Gu Taozhi absolutely believed in Li Xiang's words. He could always bring miracles to people.
"Momo? Are you back? Why didn't you tell mom?"
At this time, the only person who came forward to say hello appeared.
A beautiful woman wearing a luxurious mink velvet and celadon pattern cheongsam walked over.
She has a very noble temperament, and her charm is still there. There are no traces of time left on her face. If you look closely, she still looks a bit like Gu Taozhi.
"Mom..." After Gu Taozhi saw who was coming, he quickly wiped his tears and forced a smile.
"Why are you crying? And you have lost so much weight? Did you have a bad life in Shonan?"
Shen Yan looked at Gu Taozhi with a distressed expression, touched Gu Taozhi's face, and said with concern.
Li Xiang looked at him from time to time, as if he had guessed something.
Gu Taozhi shook his head, "No, Mom, I lived a good life in southern Hunan."
Shen Yan sighed and said, "Normally you don't tell me anything when I ask you about your situation, but now...well, your dad has been very busy recently. The annual meeting is about to start and he is still talking to others outside."
"And your third uncle's matter, does it have nothing to do with you?"
Gu Taozhi took a breath, and then nodded like a child who had done something wrong, "It has something to do with me..."
Shen Yan sighed again, not wanting to continue talking about this matter, and looked at Li Xiang calmly and asked, "Who is next to you?"
Li Xiang immediately stamped out the cigarette in his hand and said with a serious face and a little nervousness, "Auntie, my name is... Li Xiang."
"Li Xiang? Which Li family? Why don't I remember that there is a Li family in China?"
After joining the aristocratic family, Shen Yan has formed the habit of looking at people first for their status.
Moreover, Li Xiang seems to have an extraordinary temperament, an honest personality, and a high emotional intelligence, but his clothes are really hard to describe, and he is no different from a country bumpkin in the countryside.
Not to mention how nervous and shy he was when he introduced himself in the first sentence?
But Shen Yan didn't mean to look down on Li Xiang, but it was obvious that he and his daughter were incompatible...
Gu Taozhi quickly defended himself and said, "Mom, dad didn't tell you about this?"
At Tianxiang Wanjing's birthday party that day, Li Xiang was in the spotlight, and he also came back to bring back the money Li Xiang gave him to solve the family's external problems. How could he not recognize him?
Gu Taozhi obviously didn't believe that his father had never told the family about this.
"No." Shen Yan shook her head,
"After your father came back from southern Hunan, he hardly had any rest. He was busy dealing with things every day. I have rarely seen him in the past few months. We only met a few times when Yaoyao was sick, but they were all about Yaoyao. I haven’t said anything about Yao’s illness or anything else.”
"If I say that Shonan is really a place of right and wrong, everyone in my family will be different after going there."
Gu Taozhi retorted, "Mom! You are overgeneralizing, Xiangnan is a great place!"
"Really?" Shen Yan smiled bitterly.
"Brother Linfeng is here?"
"It's Brother Linfeng! We haven't seen each other for a long time!"
"Yes. It's been almost three years, and brother Linfeng has become handsome again!"
At this time, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became lively, and many young women from the family looked towards the entrance of the compound.
He was wearing a white suit, tall, with a faint smile on his face, and showed an elegant and calm gentlemanly demeanor in his every move.
As soon as he entered, the atmosphere reached a climax again, eliciting excited shouts from many women in the family.
Shen Yan looked at this man who attracted much attention with envy, and praised Gu Taozhi and said, "Look at Linfeng. Before he was seventeen, he took tens of millions of his family's money to Suzhou and Hangzhou to work hard. Now he is said to be making money. Big money! His personal assets are estimated to be over 100 million!"
“I didn’t expect Linfeng, who was naughty like a monkey when he was a child, to be so capable when he grows up!”
"mom..."
"Auntie, as far as I know, as long as you make good use of the Gu family's background and connections, you can make 100 million without using these tens of millions, right?" Li Xiang asked.
Although this question was pertinent, Li Xiang said it very lightly and did not bother to argue with him. He secretly said sadly, "My two daughters are much smarter and better than him, but why did one of them accomplish nothing as soon as they went to Shonan?" You still have to use your connections to borrow money, but what if the other one gets a strange disease?"
"Mom!" Gu Taozhi was speechless and could only say, "I have already paid back the money, so don't take it out and talk about it."
"Aunt Shen, I haven't seen you for three years. You are getting younger and younger, and Sister Tao is getting more and more beautiful! People who don't know may think you two are sisters! I wish Aunt Shen a Happy New Year!"
At this time, Gu Linfeng had already walked up to the three of them and said enthusiastically.
Shen Yan had no choice but to smile and agree, "Thank you Linfeng, and I also wish you a happy New Year."
Gu Linfeng changed the subject again, looked at Gu Taozhi and said, "Sister Taozhi, a few months ago I heard my dad say that you took the family's 50,000 yuan to start a business and work hard? I wonder what's going on now?"
"Sister Tao Zhi has been smart and smart since she was young. My dad often compares you with me, saying that I am useless when I grow up! Now I also want to learn from Sister Tao and make a living!"
Although Gu Linfeng finished speaking with a smile, he knew better than anyone else that Gu Zhongtian was in danger now, plus his daughter had gotten into so many things, and there was a younger sister who was bedridden. It was a God-given opportunity!
Gu Taozhi's face was very ugly when he was ridiculed. He lowered his head and didn't know what to say.
The fact is that all the money was used to invest in Li Xiang, so he just brought back such a person.
Gu Linfeng was very pleased with Gu Taozhi's reaction. He felt very happy and walked forward, "That's right. A person like Sister Taozhi doesn't even bother to communicate and learn from me. I won't humiliate myself anymore. I'll go ahead." Went to see grandpa."
Li Xiang's eyes stayed on Gu Linfeng for a while, and then he looked away, thoughtfully.
Shen Yan said helplessly, "Look, everyone in the family is paying attention to you. No matter how willful you are, you still have to think about your family. Your father can't bear to lose his face because of you. Why don't you try harder? "
"Mom, I..." Gu Taozhi couldn't argue for a while, because these were all facts and she couldn't argue.
"Aunt Shen, don't get me wrong. What the person just said is right. The projects Taozhi is investing in are indeed not something that ordinary people can participate in and study."
Li Xiang said with a serious face at this time.
Shen Yan saw that Li Xiang was so young and still talking about business matters, so she didn't bother to argue with Li Xiang.
In my heart, I was increasingly dissatisfied with Prime Minister Li's image.
Was his daughter deceived by his nonsense?
If Gu Taozhi had an investment property business, wouldn't she know about it?
Shen Yan made up her mind. Once this new year is over, she will never let Gu Taozhi go back to southern Hunan to cause trouble again.
"That's all, take your seats first."
Shen Yan thought about it and took the two of them to their seats first.
After all, you still have to sit and drive, right?
"Shen Yan, why did you bring this outsider in?"
Above the main table are the direct core members of the Gu family.
The rules of the aristocratic family are not as simple as those of the Tang and Ren families in southern Hunan.
The Gu family's foundation was co-founded by three old men, so the Gu family is divided into three schools.
For example, Gu Linfeng just now is the grandson of his eldest grandfather, so in terms of status, he is in a competitive relationship to win honor and face for his father's generation, so naturally he seems to be inseparable from each other.
If you want to sit at the main table, you need the approval of the three old men before you can sit down, so this situation resulted.
"This is... Taozhi's friend. I was negligent and shouldn't have brought him here." Shen Yan finished speaking quickly, looked at Li Xiang and said sheepishly,
"Just go and sit outside. This is not my decision."
"no problem."
The main purpose of Li Xiang's visit was to be curious about Gu Yaoyao's condition and to have fun in the capital. He didn't care about these things.
Besides, I didn't know anyone here, so it was awkward to sit there.
"Old...Li Xiang, I'm with you!"
Gu Taozhi blushed and walked side by side to a remote seat and sat down.
The middle-aged man at the main table glanced at it and said with satisfaction, "This girl is still somewhat self-aware. She took 50,000 yuan from the family and achieved nothing. It is only because of her kindness that she is able to serve on the table!"
This person is Gu Youwei, the eldest son of the Gu family’s eldest grandfather.
He is the eldest of the three generations of the Gu family, and is also a strong contender for the head of the Gu family at this annual meeting, because Gu Linfeng, who was just famous, is his son!
This is his confidence!
"My Taozhi is indeed not as good as your Linfeng. He can earn hundreds of millions at a young age. He can be regarded as a leader among young people." Shen Yan agreed with a smile.
"You're right, let him serve it later!"
"It seems that my Gu family's future is safe, and I can feel at ease."
"Yes, Youwei, you have given birth to a good son. The hope of the Gu family lies in him!"
When the old men at the main table heard about such a deed, they also beamed with joy and praised him profusely, which made Gu Youwei's face glow red and his heart felt happy.
He couldn't help but feel more confident in his fight for the position of the head of the family. Now he is bound to win the position of the head of the family!
Because he has been working hard all the time in the past three years, he is bound to let Gu Zhongtian and other clan members know that he, Gu Youwei, is the head of this family!
"Husband, I have wronged you today."
Seeing the people around him hiding far away, Gu Taozhi said helplessly.
"What's wrong with me? It's you, do you regret it? If you hadn't come to me, with your own means and abilities, you would at least be able to reach a level unreachable by these peers, right?" Li Xiang filled up the tea. , asked while blowing on the rim of the cup.
Gu Taozhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I can regret anything, but I have never regretted anything I did for you!"
Li Xiang was stunned for a long time, and then he took out his mobile phone and checked the time with emotion, then looked into Gu Taozhi's eyes and said slowly,
"OK!"
"Today I guarantee that you will be the star of the family annual party!".
