After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

The next day, the Gu family's old house was decorated with lanterns and filled with guests. Today was the 80th birthday of the old man of the Gu family. Celebrities from all walks of life came to celebrate his birthday. All the descendants of the Gu family were also present. The scene was extremely grand.

Su Li, wearing a moon-white dress, walked into the banquet hall holding Gu Jinyan's arm. Gu Jinyan, wearing a black suit, was as handsome as a god. The two of them stood together, like a perfect match, attracting countless envious glances.

As the wine flowed, Fourth Master Gu suddenly stood up and raised his glass to toast: "Brother, I toast you. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains!"

Old Master Gu smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to raise his glass, he was interrupted by Fourth Master Gu's next words.

"However, brother, the company is the foundation of our Gu family. You handed the company over to Jin Yan to manage, but his recent performance is really worrying!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the tone of Mr. Gu Si, and his eyes swept over Su Li intentionally or unintentionally.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became quiet and everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly put down his wine glass, "What do you mean by that, Fourth Uncle?"

Fourth Master Gu sneered and threw a document on the table, "Take a look for yourself! The company has recently failed in several projects and suffered heavy losses. This is all because of you!"

Su Li noticed that a barely perceptible smug look flashed across Fourth Master Gu's eyes, and sneered in her heart, it's finally here!

"Jin Yan, how do you explain it?" an elder of the Gu family asked in a deep voice, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

Gu Jinyan was about to speak, but was stopped by Su Li. She shook her head gently, signaling him to be patient, then stood up, picked up the documents on the table, flipped through a few pages, and raised a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth.

"Fourth Uncle, these so-called evidences are all carefully fabricated by you, right?" Su Li threw the documents back on the table and looked directly at Fourth Master Gu, with a wise light flashing in her eyes.

Fourth Master Gu's face froze, and he pretended to be calm and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? These are the company's real financial statements!"

"Really?" Su Li sneered and took out a document from her handbag. "In that case, Fourth Uncle might as well take a look at this document!"

Su Li handed the document to the butler beside him and asked him to project it onto the big screen.

The content of the document was evidence that Fourth Master Gu had abused his position to embezzle company funds. Every payment was recorded clearly, and even had his personal signature.

There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone was talking about it. They looked at Gu Siye with shock and suspicion. This document was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. The family elders looked at each other, and the suspicious eyes that were originally cast on Gu Jinyan because of Gu Siye's accusation were now focused on Gu Siye. They whispered to each other, their tone full of disbelief and disappointment.

"This... How is this possible? How could the fourth brother do such a thing?"

"These evidences are solid. It seems that the fourth brother has been secretly plotting all these years!"

"We trusted him before. It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance!"

Master Gu Si watched as the image he had worked so hard to build up over the years was destroyed in an instant. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He glared at Su Li with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"You...you are slandering me! All these evidences are forged by you!" Fourth Master Gu roared hysterically, trying to make a final struggle.

"Uncle, at this point, are you still going to quibble?" Su Li looked calm, but her tone was full of unquestionable majesty. "I retrieved all this evidence from the company's internal system. It is absolutely true and reliable. If you still have any questions, you can find a professional organization to conduct an appraisal."

Fourth Master Gu was speechless, he knew he had no way out. But he was unwilling to fail like this, his plan of many years was about to succeed, but it was ruined by this woman Su Li!

He stood up suddenly, looked around, and his eyes fell on those family branch members who had expressed support for him. He shouted hoarsely: "My fellow uncles and brothers, don't be fooled by this woman! She is trying to sow discord! Her purpose is to help Gu Jinyan seize the entire Gu family!"

"Don't forget that Gu Jinyan has not made any contribution to the family over the years! Why is he valued by the old man? Why should he inherit everything of the Gu family?"

Fourth Master Gu instigated at the top of his lungs, trying to stir up conflicts within the family, muddy the waters and give himself a last chance of a comeback.

His words, like cancer, spread among the crowd. Some originally neutral family members began to have greed and desire in their eyes...

Fourth Master Gu's words stirred up a thousand waves in the crowd. Some family members who were originally neutral looked at each other, their eyes flashing with greed and desire. Yes, Gu Jinyan has been away from the family for these years, how can he get all this as soon as he comes back?

"Fourth brother is right! We have worked diligently for the family over the years, but in the end, we have to work for an outsider. This is unacceptable!" A short and fat middle-aged man stood up. He was from a branch of the Gu family and had always been concerned about Gu Jinyan's identity as the heir.

"That's right, we also need a reasonable explanation!" Others also echoed, and their greedy eyes fell on Gu Jinyan, as if they were looking at a piece of fat meat waiting to be slaughtered.

The situation suddenly fell into chaos, with voices supporting Master Gu Si and supporting Gu Jinyan rising and falling, and the family gathering turned into a farce like a vegetable market.

At this moment, an old man in a black suit and with gray hair slowly stood up. He was the most senior and respected elder of the Gu family - Mr. Gu's eldest brother, Gu Zhenting.

Gu Zhenting was a powerful figure in the business world when he was young and was one of the founders of the Gu family's business empire. After he retired to the second line, he rarely spoke out in family affairs, but his words still had a significant influence.

"Enough!" Gu Zhenting roared, a sharp light flashing from his turbid eyes, and the entire banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

He looked around, his eyes as sharp as a torch, as if he could see through everyone's mind. "What day is today? Have you forgotten? This is a family gathering, not a vegetable market! Look at the way you look now, how disgraceful!"

Gu Zhenting's words were like a wake-up call, which made those family members who were blinded by greed suddenly wake up and lower their heads in shame.

"Fourth Master, you said Xiaoli slandered you. Do you have any evidence?" Gu Zhenting turned to Fourth Master Gu with a stern tone.

Fourth Master Gu had an unpleasant look on his face and was unable to utter a word.

"Jin Yan, what about you?" Gu Zhenting looked at Gu Jinyan again.

"I..." Gu Jinyan was about to speak, but Su Li held his hand. She shook her head gently, signaling him not to be impulsive.

"Grandpa, I believe that the clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid." Su Li stepped forward, his tone calm and firm, "The reason why I said this today is not to provoke conflicts within the family, but to protect the interests of the Gu family and to protect the hard work of the old man."

"As for Fourth Uncle's accusation, I will provide more detailed evidence in the following period of time." Su Li's eyes swept across everyone and finally landed on Gu Zhenting. "I believe that Grandpa and all the uncles and elders will make the most fair judgment."

Gu Zhenting looked at Su Li deeply, nodded, and then announced: "Today's party ends here. We will talk about everything after we have investigated it thoroughly. Lao Si, Jin Yan, Xiao Li, the three of you come with me to the study."

After saying that, Gu Zhenting turned and left. Master Gu Si, Gu Jinyan, and Su Li looked at each other, saw the solemnity in each other's eyes, and followed him silently.

The door of the study slowly closed, isolating all inquiring eyes from the outside world. The room was silent, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing, foreshadowing the calm before the storm...
