Chapter 748 Why come back now?
Ye Qingzi couldn't help but sneer after hearing what Gu Shuxue said, "No wonder she didn't dare to return to Beijing for twenty years, so she did such a rebellious thing. They still have the face to come back?"
Gu Shuxue said euphemistically: "Grandpa is getting old, and he always wants to see his children and grandchildren be happy."
Ye Qingzi spoke quite bluntly, "I think your grandpa is old-fashioned. Is it possible that you still want Gu Zhaoming to inherit the family business?"
Gu Shuxue's expression was a little unnatural.
She didn't know if grandpa had this plan, but over the years, no matter how much his father had done for the family, grandpa never let go of letting his father inherit the family business.
Compared to the unreliable third uncle, father is naturally much better.
However, her elder brother Gu Shuda is a dandy who only knows how to pick up girls and play games. He is far inferior to the third uncle's cousin Gu Shuzhi.
She only hoped that this birthday banquet would overwhelm Gu Shuzhi, and let her grandfather see that their second wife is not without successors, so that it is possible for her father to become the heir of the family.
Now it is no different from the old society. Men and women are equal, and women can also be the head of the house.
Among the eight wealthy families, Tong Rao, the patriarch of the Tong family, is a woman. Ms. Tong Rao is also the strong woman she has always admired the most.
While Gu Shuxue coaxed Ye Qingzi back with old stories, she also sent a message to her father, telling him about meeting Gu Zhaoming.
Gu Family Banquet Hall.
The banquet was full of guests and friends, drinking and drinking.
On the head seat of the main table, sat a white-haired old man, old and vicissitudes of life, but still has the power of the head of a wealthy family.
This old man is the current head of the Gu family, Mr. Gu Hongwei.
The people sitting at the main table with him are all the most important VIPs at the table.
The closer to the main table, the more prestigious people in the capital, or people who are closer to the Gu family, such as the elders and direct descendants of the Gu family.
Mrs. Gu sat at the same table as Mr. Gu.
At this moment, a waiter suddenly walked up to the old lady and whispered something to her. The smile on the old lady's face froze immediately, and the wine glass in her hand slipped onto the table.
Gu Hongwei was originally sipping his own wine, his old eyes were half-closed, as if he was sleepy, and when he heard the sound, he frowned and looked over, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Madam Gu quickly concealed her expression, "I'm going to change clothes."
Then he walked out of the banquet hall very quickly.
Gu Zhaoan, the second master of the Gu family, also quietly followed out. He was the one who sent a message to Mrs. Gu just now.
Gu Zhaoming's family was stopped by Mrs. Gu on their way to the banquet hall.
Butler Liu said respectfully, "Madam."
Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Zhaoming, the eldest son whom she had not seen for twenty years, with complicated emotions.
"Old Liu, the principals of Peking University and Huada University haven't arrived yet, so go to the door to meet them."
Mrs. Gu dismissed Butler Liu, and then looked at Gu Zhaoming, her voice trembling, "Why haven't you come back for so many years?"
Gu Zhaoming looked at the old lady with an old face and white hair in front of him, sneering across his eyes, "Why don't I come back, Mrs. Gu, don't you know? You stop me here now because you don't want me to participate in father's Birthday banquet?"
Mrs. Gu looked hurt, "Zhaoming, how can you think of me like that? You don't even want to recognize your mother now? It's been so long since what happened back then, and you still worry about it?"
Gu Zhaoming watched her performance without changing his face, "Did the second brother or the third brother ask you to stop me?"
Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Zhaoming's indifferent face, her eyes gradually turned cold.
Sure enough, Gu Zhaoming didn't get close to her at the beginning, but now twenty years later, he is even more indifferent to her.
"You haven't come back for twenty years, why do you come back now?"
