After rebirth, the paranoid boss dotes on her

the next day.

Gu family's old house

The banquet hall was bustling with guests.

However, amidst this celebratory atmosphere, there were some discordant voices.

"Gu Jingzhan is still in a coma in the hospital, and his life or death is unknown. Is it really appropriate for Gu Wenhua to hold such a high-profile birthday party for his illegitimate son at this time?"

"What's inappropriate about this? Since the eldest son has lost power, Gu Wenhua will naturally support the younger son to take the position. This world is just so realistic."

"Hasn't it been rumored before that Gu Jingzhan has a bad relationship with his parents? Now it seems to be true."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Gu Jingzhan is the child of Gu Wenhua and a woman he doesn't like, so Gu Jingzhan has been unpopular since he was a child."

"What about Gu Jingzhan's mother?"

"His mother isn't much better. I've seen her before at Madam Gu's 70th birthday party. She's also a difficult person to deal with."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Gu Jingzhan is too pitiful, his father doesn't love him, and his mother doesn't love him."

"Not only that, ever since Gu Wenhua brought his illegitimate child back to the Gu family, Madam Gu's attitude has changed, and Gu Jingzhan has become a dispensable person in the Gu family."

“Alas, there are many disputes among the wealthy, let alone a wealthy family like the Gu family.”

Everything the guests said entered Wen Yu's ears.

She listened from the side and felt as if her heart was being pressed down by a huge rock. She felt extremely uncomfortable.

Then, her eyes were fixed on the center of the banquet hall.

Although Gu Wenhua was sitting in a wheelchair and his left hand was in a cast, he still held Gu Haoyu in his arms lovingly and introduced him to the people around him.

Wen Yu found this scene extremely dazzling.

When she thought of what Gu Jingzhan had gone through in the past and compared it with what she saw now, the fire in her heart began to burn.

"Snapped--"

Wen Yu slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table, making a crisp and harsh sound.

Qi Xiaoyi walked over with a cynical attitude, "Hey, who made you angry again? You are so generous."

Wen Yu glanced at him sideways, her tone full of annoyance: "Can you stay away from me? Don't hang around in front of me. I get annoyed when I see you."

"No." Qi Xiaoyi didn't care and said rudely, "I will just show up in front of you and get in your way."

"ill!"

Wen Yu was not in the mood to argue with Qi Xiaoyi. She just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible and find Wen Chengru.

Just as she turned around, Qi Xiaoyi grabbed her wrist with a playful look in his eyes.

"Where to go?"

"none of your business!"

Wen Yu shook her wrists vigorously, trying to break free from Qi Xiaoyi's restraints.

But Qi Xiaoyi was determined to pester her. He held her wrist tightly and refused to let her go no matter how she struggled.

Wen Yu was angry and couldn't help but growl: "Qi, Xiao, Yi!"

Qi Xiaoyi raised the corners of his lips slightly, moved closer to her, and said to her meaningfully: "Calm down, there will be something interesting to watch soon."

Hearing this, Wen Yu frowned in confusion, "What's the good show?"

Qi Xiaoyi did not answer her question directly, but just smiled mysteriously.

Wen Yu looked at him, feeling even more confused.

But in the end she still chose to stay, standing there, waiting for the "good show" that Qi Xiaoyi mentioned to begin.

Shortly after--

Gu Wenhua was pushed to the center of the stage by Zhuang Meijing, and Gu Haoyu sat obediently in his arms.

With a happy smile on his face, he said to everyone: "Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's birthday party. From today on..."

However, just as he was about to announce something, a clear and pleasant female voice abruptly interrupted him.

"Oh, it's so lively here!"

Xiang Wanqiao took Gu Jingzhan's arm and slowly walked in from the gate.

As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.

Wen Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at Qi Xiaoyi beside him.

Qi Xiaoyi raised his eyebrows, "The protagonist has appeared, and the show is about to begin."

When Gu Wenhua saw Gu Jingzhan appear in front of him unharmed, the smile on his face froze instantly, and a trace of imperceptible astonishment and gloom flashed in his eyes.

Old Madam Gu was also stunned, and the Buddhist beads in her hand were unconsciously squeaking.

The guests present were equally stunned, and the voices of discussion arose again.

"This...this Gu Jingzhan, didn't he say that he had a serious car accident and was unconscious in the intensive care unit of the hospital?"

"Yeah, it doesn't look like he was injured at all!"

"He...could it be that he is having a last burst of energy?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's obvious at first glance that this is a stopgap measure used by Gu Jingzhan to confuse those people with ulterior motives."

"Sure enough, the struggle among the rich is far more cruel than imagined."

Xiang Wanqiao took Gu Jingzhan's arm and walked gracefully and confidently to a position not far from the stage and stopped.

She smiled faintly and said, "Chairman Gu, after all, we are family members who have had a little relationship. Why didn't you invite us to the banquet?"

"Pretty sister!"

In this tense atmosphere, Gu Haoyu's childish voice sounded joyfully.

Upon seeing this, Zhuang Meijing immediately covered Gu Haoyu's mouth and then took him away from Gu Wenhua's arms.

She warned in a low voice: "Xiao Yu, don't talk."

Gu Haoyu blinked his bright eyes and nodded vigorously, indicating that he would be obedient and not say anything.

Gu Wenhua's face looked even gloomier under the light, as if shrouded in an unspeakable haze.

He said in a cold voice: "Since I didn't invite you, it means you are not welcome here. Please leave immediately."

Faced with Gu Wenhua's order to expel her, Xiang Wanqiao just smiled faintly.

"Since we're here, it would be a shame if we just leave like this." Her tone revealed a kind of indifference and calmness.

Gu Wenhua frowned and stared at them warily: "What on earth do you want to do?"

Xiang Wanqiao shrugged. "I didn't plan to do anything. I just wanted to come and see how Chairman Gu held a birthday party for his youngest son."

Mrs. Gu felt a little embarrassed when she saw that the guests around her were talking about something.

She spoke to ease the atmosphere: "Xiao Zhan, if there is anything, let's talk about it in private. There is no need to make such an ugly scene in front of so many people."

There was no emotion in Gu Jingzhan's eyes when he looked at the old lady, only bottomless indifference.

"Madam, we can't have a good discussion in private, so it's better to make it clear in public."
