1624 Startling Words
An hour later, Gu Yao arrived at the Gu family’s residence and asked Gu Zheng in a low voice, “Why did Grandpa suddenly call us back for dinner?”
He had already sensed that the atmosphere was not good. Looking at Grandma’s expression, it seemed that she would flip the table tonight.
When Gu Yao entered the front hall, he finally understood what was going on. Why was He Wenxian here?
Gu Weiming and Old Master Gu were already seated. Seeing Gu Yao enter, Gu Weiming gritted his teeth. In the past, when Gu Yao was obedient, he could dote on his son. However, this bastard actually joined forces with Gu Zheng to snatch his shares. Now that the Gu family’s company was in the hands of an outsider like Gu Yao, how could he be willing?!
He had already forgotten that He Wenxian was sitting beside him. He said unhappily, “Today is a family banquet. Why did you call an outsider over?!”
Old Madam Gu frowned.
Gu Yao’s expression was indifferent. In the past, he and Gu Weiming had feelings for each other, but those feelings had disappeared now. He was raised by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng had taught him how to be a good person and even taught him his skills. Gu Weiming could not be considered a father, so he did not care what Gu Weiming said.
“Get lost!” Gu Weiming was not polite at all.
Although he did not name Gu Yao, everyone knew that he wanted Gu Yao to get lost.
Gu Zheng’s eyes suddenly turned cold, but Old Madam Gu spoke first, “You’re right. How could an outsider join our family for a meal? Hurry up and get lost!”
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the air seemed to have frozen. Gu Weiming immediately said to Gu Yao, “The old madam has already spoken. Did you hear her?”
Old Madam Gu smiled. “Weiming has already agreed. He Wenxian, don’t force us to chase you out.”
Gu Weiming was about to get the servants to chase Gu Yao away, but before he could say anything, his expression froze. “Wenxian? Mom, you…”
“Is there a problem? Isn’t he the only outsider present?” Old Madam Gu glanced at him coldly. “Gu Weiming, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?”
Qiao Xi almost laughed out loud. Grandma Gu was still so valiant!
Gu Weiming’s face was ashen. “Mom, the outsider I’m talking about is Gu Yao. He’s not my son.”
“You don’t acknowledge him as your son, but I treat him as my grandson.” With that, Old Madam Gu looked at He Wenxian and snorted in disdain. “I didn’t expect He Wenxian to be your illegitimate daughter! Does Chairman He know about this? Are you having an affair with Madam He?”
Everyone gasped. This old madam was really shocking!
Gu Weiming’s face instantly turned red. “Mom! Wenxian isn’t my illegitimate daughter! She’s the child of He Weinian and Madam He!”
“Oh!” Old Madam Gu said slowly, “Is He Weinian the old man’s illegitimate child, then?”
Old Madam Gu sneered. “Since the He family has nothing to do with us, why is He Wenxian in the Gu family’s residence? Who does she think she is? What right does she have to eat in the Gu family?”
Old Master Gu and Gu Weiming’s faces alternated between white and green.
“Ah Yao, you’re the head of the Gu family’s company, but you’re not even a member of the Gu family. He Wenxian isn’t related to the Gu family by blood, yet she still came to attend the family banquet. I can’t eat this meal anymore. Let’s go back to the courtyard to eat.”
Old Madam Gu said casually, then she thought of something. “By the way, quickly call the doctor over to take a look at your father and grandfather. Are they crazy? Why are they always spouting nonsense? How pitiful!”
With that, Old Madam Gu walked out of the door. Old Master Gu’s face was so gloomy.
“Grandma Gu,” He Wenxian called out gently. “Don’t be angry. Grandpa Gu and Uncle haven’t seen Ah Yao in a long time and got a little agitated. They didn’t say that he’s an outsider.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked in front of Gu Yao and smiled gently. “Ah Yao, I remember that when I was studying with Ah Zheng, you were still very young and naughty. You grew up in the blink of an eye.”
Old Madam Gu turned around and walked to the master seat to sit down. He Wenxian hurriedly said obsequiously, “Grandma Gu, I’m really sorry…”
“If you’re really sorry, you should leave quickly.” Old Madam Gu really hated such pretentious people. Although He Wenxian said that she was sorry, she refused to leave.
He Wenxian’s expression instantly became aggrieved as tears welled up in her eyes.
“That’s enough!” Old Master Gu shouted unhappily. “I called you over to announce something important. From today onward, Wenxian is a member of the Gu family!”
Old Madam Gu’s expression darkened. What she had expected had still happened.
If He Wenxian wanted to become a member of the Gu family, she had to marry a man from the Gu family. Naturally, it could not be Gu Weiming. Old Master Gu was unwilling to acknowledge Gu Yao, so of course, it could not be Gu Yao. That left Gu Zheng.
