Xu Tian saw that several people who had always supported Tang Jihuai also righteously drew a clear line with him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
These people are like this, accustomed to worshiping those who are superior and suppressing those who are inferior.
They can lift you up, or they can be pushed down into the abyss by you.
Rather than choosing a team, it’s better to say that they will always stand on the side with greater momentum.
Xu Tian also knew the darkness of human nature, so he did not take these people's words to heart.
They had not paid much attention to themselves as the son-in-law of the Tang family before, but they just felt that since they had no background and no future, they would soon be abandoned by Tang Bingyan.
In addition, Tang Bingyan also has Gu Beicheng by her side, so they will naturally choose to support the marriage between the Gu family and the Tang family.
After this accident, some people must have seen the situation clearly. To be on the safe side, they no longer planned to put all their chips on the Gu family, so they came here specifically to curry favor with him.
In fact, the way of thinking of these people cannot be changed in just a few days, but after a few days, they will definitely not be stupid enough to be used as a weapon and openly oppose themselves.
…
at the same time.
In the meeting hall of Tangjia Lanshan Hot Spring Villa.
Mr. Tang and Tang Zhipeng received Gu Qiankun.
Gu Qiankun came to the Tang family at this time because he was dissatisfied with Tang Bingyan's protection of Xu Tian.
"Mr. Tang, Elder Peng, Mr. Tang insists on going his own way, which is really an insult to the family tradition!"
Mr. Tang comforted him with kind words: "Mr. Gu, to be honest, if I were asked to choose, I also think that this kid from Beicheng is more suitable for Bingyan, and our two families are family friends and know each other well. If we can get married in person,
It couldn't be better, but Bingyan has her own opinion and I can't force her to make a choice."
"When Bingyan decided to come back to inherit the family business, she told me that her marriage was her own decision, and she would not marry for the benefit of the family. I agreed. As an elder, how can I say nothing now?
letter?"
"What's more, I told you about this situation before. If the two children are really not destined to be together, we will not be happy if we forcefully tie them together for our own happiness."
"Xu Tian's child's family background is indeed average, but he is sincere to Bingyan, and Bingyan also likes him, and they are both married. What reason do I have to object?"
The more Gu Qiankun listened, the angrier he became. Mr. Tang had indeed said before that marriage matters would be left to Tang Bingyan, but at that time he felt that his son and Tang Bingyan were childhood sweethearts, and they were well matched, so Tang Bingyan would definitely marry him.
Who would have thought that Tang Bingyan would suddenly get married to a pretty boy so outrageously?
Fortunately, these two people had a secret marriage, and the Tang family did not reveal Xu Tian's identity to the world, otherwise the Gu family would have become a joke to the entire upper class society.
"Then Mr. Tang, what you mean is that any cat or dog can step on our Beicheng, just because Tang Bingyan likes it?"
Today's Tang family is indeed booming after Tang Bingyan took over, but the Gu family is not a vegetarian either.
Gu Qiankun didn't believe that the Tang family would really fall out with them over a son-in-law who came to the house without the support of his family background.
You must know that all the girls of suitable age from other families outside want to marry into their family and become the Gu family's wives. That is to say, his son is infatuated, and he did not give up even after knowing that Tang Bingyan was getting married.
Although the Gu family may not be able to compete with the Tang family in terms of strength, if the Gu family turns to support the Tang family's enemies, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the Tang family.
To Gu Qiankun, as long as Xu Tian's identity is not made public and Tang Bingyan is still single on the surface, it doesn't matter.
There was a lot of filth within the wealthy family. For the sake of the overall situation, as long as Tang Bingyan was willing to divorce and be with Gu Beicheng, he didn't have to worry about it.
Seeing that Gu Qiankun's tone was not kind, Tang Zhipeng quickly explained: "Mr. Gu, please calm down. This kid Xu Tian comes from a grassroots background and has never seen much of the world. Naturally, he is very observant and observant. However, that kid from Beicheng has an arrogant personality and is decisive.
He disdains those little tricks to coax women, and it is human nature for him to lose to that boy for the time being.
Women like to hear sweet words and think that such a man is a real partner, but I believe that when she becomes more mature, she will understand that a suitable partner should be a good match and match all the conditions."
"That's true." Gu Qiankun's face softened a little, but there was still anger in his words: "We in Beicheng are not the kind of weaklings who can only use sweet words to coax women and gain benefits by selling their looks."
"Furthermore, the families on both sides of Jiangcheng and Imperial City are all aware of the relationship between our two families. If Tang Bingyan is still stubborn and insists on raising that good-for-nothing pretty boy and refuses to marry us in Beicheng, then the only one who will be stabbed in the back is
Your Tang family."
"As elders, you should know what to do for the good of the Tang family. Anyway, if the marriage between our two families fails, it will definitely not be our Gu family that loses!"
After saying that, Gu Qiankun left in anger without waiting for Mr. Tang and Tang Zhipeng to react.
Tang Zhipeng looked at his back and rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Indeed, as Gu Qiankun said, given Gu Beicheng's conditions and the Gu family's status, there are countless families who want to marry him.
If it weren't for everyone's acquiescence that the Gu family would marry their Tang family in the future, and no one would dare to pursue the idea of Tang Bingyan's man, I'm afraid the wealthy daughters pursuing Gu Beicheng would have to line up from Jiangcheng City to the Imperial Capital.
"Second brother, our Tang family is not an ordinary family. We really cannot let her make the decision on the marriage of the head of the family."
"I know that you have doted on her since she was a child and tried your best to meet all her demands. Even if she said she wanted to study abroad and learn arts that were not popular, you indulged her. But the marriage is related to the future of the entire family. You
We can no longer indulge her."
"I believe you also know that if we really fall out with the Gu family over the marriage, the loss to the Tang family will be immeasurable."
Mr. Tang spoke with some displeasure.
"Immeasurable?"
"If Bingyan had not returned home to take over the Tang family, the Tang family and its various branches would have fallen apart and gone their separate ways. What would be the loss?"
"It is precisely because of Bingyan that the Tang family avoided the tragedy of declining and being divided by competitors. Also, when the Tang family was in chaos, did he, Gu Qiankun, show up?"
"This..." Faced with Mr. Tang's question, Tang Zhipeng was speechless.
When the Tang family was in trouble internally and externally, the Gu family did not help. Instead, they wanted to reap the benefits on the grounds that it was not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in the Tang family's household affairs.
Now Gu Qiankun always clings to his little friendship with the Tang family. It's just because Tang Bingyan firmly controls the Tang family and the Tang Group that he wants to use the verbal engagement contract made by the older generation to morally kidnap him.
Forcing Tang Bingyan and Xu Tian to divorce and marry into the Gu family.
