After hearing Ye Zhensheng personally acknowledge Ye Wanqing, Gu Jinyuan finally let go of Ye Zhanxun, turned around and hugged Ye Wanqing's waist affectionately, with a nice smile on his face: "Wanwan, why have I never heard you say that Ye Dong is you? Father?"
The word "Wanwan" came out of his mouth, it was unexpectedly gentle and affectionate, making people want to indulge in it involuntarily.
Ye Wanqing shook her head, smiled cooperatively, and said softly: "Dr. Ye has a happy family and a happy life. How can I spread rumors and cause trouble for him?"
To say "rumor making" is to deny what Ye Zhensheng just said.
Ye Zhensheng was not annoyed. He used his eyes to stop Ye Zhanxun's unconvinced behavior and said with a slight smile: "We can talk about these things later. Today's theme is still the engagement of Xin'er and Xiao'er."
After speaking, he glanced at Ji Xiao, indicating that he should lead Ye Zhixin to bring the guests' attention back to the main topic.
However, Ji Xiao didn't move. A trace of panic flashed in Ye Zhixin's eyes, and she quickly stepped forward and took Ji Xiao's hand.
She was already very embarrassed tonight, and there couldn't be any more accidents at the banquet later!
Standing still, before Ye Zhixin could speak, Gu Jinyuan said quietly: "Miss Ye seems to have turned a deaf ear to my words. This dress...should not be worn on you!"
Ye Zhixin did not expect that Gu Jinyuan would be so unrelenting. She suddenly lost control of her emotions and screamed at Ye Wanqing: "What else do you want!?"
The voice was harsh and tight. Gu Jinyuan pulled Ye Wanqing into his arms and frowned: "I don't want to say anything, it's just that Miss Ye's rude behavior just now made my wife unhappy, and I just want Miss Ye to apologize."
Apologize?
If it were in the past, Ye Zhixin would definitely laugh out loud. Ye Wanqing is just a shameless illegitimate daughter, why should she apologize?
But now, after seeing Gu Jinyuan's strength, Ye Zhixin could only hold back all her anger.
She let go of Ji Xiao, clenched her hands tightly into fists, walked up to Ye Wanqing, her eyes almost bursting with fire, and said every word through gritted teeth: "I'm sorry!"
Where is her apology? It’s clear that he wants to eat people to relieve their hatred!
However, Gu Jinyuan lowered his head and asked Ye Wanqing seriously: "Wanwan, are you satisfied?"
Just as Ye Wanqing was about to answer, Gu Jinyuan raised his head and looked at Ye Zhixin, rather casually: "Wanwan said she doesn't accept insincere apologies."
“……”
If eyes could turn into reality, Ye Wanqing felt that she might have been pierced by Ye Zhixin's eyes.
Just when Ye Wanqing thought Ye Zhixin was going to pounce and scratch her face, the corners of Ye Zhixin's lips raised a little bit, her eyes curved a little bit, and finally she revealed a perfect and elegant smile.
"Mrs. Gu, I'm sorry, I just offended you."
Her voice also softened, sounding extremely sincere, but it made Ye Wanqing feel a chill down her back.
Ye Wanqing thought of that night in the rental house, when Ye Zhixin asked the three men to push her to the ground.
After today, if one day she falls into the hands of Ye Zhixin, she will definitely end up miserable, but Ye Wanqing knows that she has no way out.
The man standing next to her was both her supporter and the hand that pushed her forward.
Thinking of this, Ye Wanqing deliberately acted like a clinging bird and leaned into Gu Jinyuan's arms, like a pampered and arrogant woman.
Gu Jinyuan was very satisfied with her reaction and kissed her on the cheek. Then he looked at Ye Zhixin: "Why are you still standing here, Miss Ye? The engagement party hasn't started yet?"
“……”
Ye Zhixin almost broke a silver tooth from her teeth and wished she could cut Ye Wanqing into pieces with a thousand knives!
Turning around, Ye Zhixin walked back and took Ji Xiao's arm, trying her best to smile happily.
On the surface, this matter was settled for the time being. Ye Zhensheng originally wanted to come over and talk, but was pulled away by Lu Yun.
Ye Zhanxun glanced at Gu Jinyuan and Ye Wanqing hatefully, and walked towards Ye Zhixin, as if he was afraid that Ye Wanqing would cause trouble again.
After they all left, Gu Qinghai came over with a cane.
Probably because he figured out what Gu Jinyuan wanted Ye Wanqing to do, his expression improved a lot, and his eyes when looking at Ye Wanqing were no longer so hostile. He was silent for a while before speaking seriously: "There is nothing wrong with being young and energetic, but Don’t fight an uncertain battle, don’t imagine your opponent is too stupid!”
These words are full of profound meaning. Are they trying to discourage Gu Jinyuan from taking the Ye family and the Ji family lightly?
Indeed, the fact that the Ye family and the Ji family could reach their current status step by step was definitely not achieved by luck or chance.
If Gu Jinyuan wants to defeat them all by himself, he must have a complete plan, otherwise...
When she saw Mr. Gu just now, Ye Wanqing thought that the relationship between him and Gu Jinyuan was not good. But looking at it now, she felt that he was not too bad towards Gu Jinyuan.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Gu Jinyuan say nonchalantly: "So what if I'm not sure? It's just nothing."
He said it indifferently, as if it didn't matter to him whether he had money or not, but Gu Qinghai's eyes widened in anger: "This is the Gu family's century-old foundation, do you think it is just for you to play with!?"
"Isn't it?"
Gu Jinyuan asked back, suppressing his indifference, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
Gu Qinghai choked and his face sank: "I can make you sit in this position, and I can also make you get off!"
This is not a threat, just stating a fact.
Indeed, although Gu Jinyuan has taken over as the leader of the Gu family, he has indeed made great achievements in the past five years, but Gu Qinghai has been in the Gu family for decades, which is definitely not something that Gu Jinyuan can fully grasp overnight.
A thin layer of sweat broke out on Ye Wanqing's back. To be honest, she was a little afraid that Gu Jinyuan would really be kicked out of the Gu family by Gu Qinghai.
Something like this happened today, and Ye Zhixin and Ye Zhanxun were not sure what they would do. Ye Wanqing herself was not afraid, but she was afraid that Mumu and Lin Lin would be implicated and harmed.
However, Gu Jinyuan was completely opposite to her. He was not frightened by this sentence at all. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said confidently: "You can give it a try!"
This is a provocation!
Speaking of which, if there is still no sign of Gu Jinyuan being unrestrained, then Gu Qinghai's life will have been in vain these past few decades!
He tapped the floor twice with his cane, turned and walked away.
After walking a few steps, Ye Wanqing saw him taking out his mobile phone and making a call, and faintly heard his deep voice: "Ask the finance department to send a copy of the report for the past five years to my mailbox..."
Mr. Gu wants to audit the accounts. Does Gu Jinyuan really have the confidence to handle it?
Ye Wanqing thought, her hands suddenly felt warm, she raised her head, Gu Jinyuan frowned slightly: "Why are your hands so cold?"
Scared!
Ye Wanqing wanted to answer like this, but Ji Xiao's clear voice sounded in the lobby: "I'm sorry, I won't get engaged to Miss Ye because I don't love her!"
