"Cough, cough!" After catching his breath, Gao Shufei covered his chest and coughed heart-wrenchingly.

When Gao Shufei said that, Wu Lu, Qin Xu and Qin Yi stood up at the same time, but were stopped by Gu Jinhe and Fu Huaiyuan.

The hall was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Many people stepped back in fear.

If Gao Shufei had not been knocked down by the table when he was kicked out just now, he would probably have crashed into the crowd of onlookers.

After all, he was a strong man weighing nearly 200 pounds, so the collision was no small matter.

In the hall, apart from the sound of everyone's breathing, no one made a sound.

Gao Shufei coughed for a long time and didn't get up for a long time. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was because of the pain or because he was scared by Fu Huaiyuan.

No one expected Fu Huaiyuan to suddenly get angry. This was the first time in all these years that he had taken action in public.

Wu Shuran, who was being coaxed on the side, opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at Fu Huaiyuan, whose face had a cold expression, and her face gradually turned pale.

This farce ended so hastily, and Gao Shufei was carried out by others.

The two people who were originally guarding Wu Shuran left at some point, and she was left standing there alone facing Gu Jinhe and the others.

Gu Jinhe glanced at her and said, "Miss Wu's appearance can really arouse people's sympathy for her. It's a pity that I'm not a man, otherwise I would probably say a few words for you."

Wu Shuran's face became even paler. Her eyes were always on Fu Huaiyuan, but Fu Huaiyuan didn't look at her. Instead, he put all his attention on Gu Jinhe.

Wu Shuran raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "Gao Shufei didn't mean what he said. He just said it because he was worried about me. I hope you don't mind it."

Gu Jinhe chuckled: "If I say I care, will you cry again?"

"You invited everyone to the banquet, and we are here, but how do you treat the guests? No matter who is in this banquet hall, they are all your guests. You are yelling at the guests, making indirect accusations, is this how you, the Wu family, treat guests?"

Seeing that Gu Jinhe's words were getting more and more serious, Wu Shuran frowned and said, "I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to make things like this." She glanced at Wu Lu, with malice still in her eyes, but she endured it in the end and didn't say anything more.

If the commotion continues, I'm afraid this banquet won't be able to be held peacefully.

A waiter came over and cleaned up the wine glasses on the floor. The crowd gathered here gradually dispersed, but their attention would still be swept to this corner from time to time.

Wu Shuran asked someone to bring a chair over, and she sat next to Fu Huaiyuan, holding a small plate of snacks in her hand. She took a bite occasionally with a small fork, and her eyes involuntarily looked at Fu Huaiyuan beside her.

Qin Yi frowned. Why didn't this person leave after he came? She said, "Wu Shuran, you are the host of this banquet. Now that the banquet has begun, don't you want to go on stage and say a few words?"

Wu Shuran glanced at her, reluctantly put down the snack in her hand, looked at Fu Huaiyuan, bit her lip and whispered: "Brother Huaiyuan, can you accompany me?"

Fu Huaiyuan: "You have held such banquets privately several times. Just do it as you did before."

Qin Yi almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and then he saw that Wu Shuran was about to cry.

In the end, she went on stage alone, holding her skirt, and no one sitting in the corner paid attention to what she said.

It was only then that Qin Yi approached Gu Jinhe and asked, "Why did you bring this troublemaker here?"

The troublemaker she was referring to was Wu Lu.

In the end, if Wu Lu had not been present in the farce just now, Wu Shuran would have had no reason to make a scene even if she wanted to. However, because Wu Lu was brought by Gu Jinhe, this gave her the opportunity to target Gu Jinhe.

Gu Jinhe: "I can't keep him in the Gu family forever, and what has he done wrong?"

Ultimately, the root of all this lies with the Wu family. If they took Wu Lu back to the Wu family, they should have treated him well instead of abusing him or even hurting his mother, and then framing him and putting him in jail.

When he saw Wu Lu again a few years later, no one in the Wu family cared about family affection. Wu Shuran was sarcastic and mocking, and Wu Qian ignored him.

Everyone in the Wu family was trying desperately to exclude him from their sight.

People outside think that Wu Lu deserves to suffer all this because of her status, but if the head of the Wu family had not given birth to Wu Lu, none of this would have happened.

Everyone is blaming Wu Lu, but no one is blaming the source of all this evil, who is the patriarch of the Wu family.

His mother, who loved him the most in the world, died because of the Wu family. How could Wu Lu not hate the lost family?

He could ignore everything he had suffered in the past, but the Wu family should never, ever hurt Wu Lu's mother.

The last bit of warmth Wu Lu had in this world was gone.

Qin Yi recalled the appearance of Wu Lu when he was a child. The handsome boy had bruises all over his face, and his body was often covered with wounds.

He was never seen at any banquet hosted by the Wu family, and it seemed that they did not treat him as a member of the Wu family.

Thinking of Wu Lu's miserable condition when he was a child, Qin Yi didn't say anything else.

Wu Shuran stood on the stage and could clearly see several people sitting in the corner whispering something, but she was standing too far away and too high, so she could only see their silhouettes but could not hear what they were saying.

She wanted to finish her speech quickly, but there was a circle of people surrounding her in the audience, all looking up at her. The admiring looks on their faces made her vanity rise all of a sudden.

She looked up at Gu Jinhe who was sitting in the corner and talking to Qin Yi, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Even if there are a few people standing beside her, there are majority of people standing beside her. This is the part that Gu Jinhe is missing and it is impossible to achieve in a short time.

As long as she is better than Gu Jinhe, Wu Shuran will be happy.

However, the people sitting on the chairs didn't care what Wu Shuran was thinking.

Gu Jinhe saw Chen Wen talking to several young women, who seemed to be from the same circle as her.

At this time, Fu Huaiyuan said, "I thought you wouldn't come to Wu Shuran's party."

Gu Jinhe curved his lips: "What a coincidence, I thought you wouldn't come either."

The two looked at each other, and the fierceness between their brows disappeared instantly.

Gu Jinhe said, "You shouldn't have taken action just now, in front of so many people. There are many people who are not in this circle at this banquet today. Aren't you afraid of rumors that you have a bad temper?"

The prince in the top circle actually started fighting with someone over a disagreement, kicked the person to the ground, and left the other person unable to defend himself.
