The Regent's Little Wife

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jingzhou's face suddenly changed, veins popped on his forehead, and he could no longer suppress his anger. He raised his palm and slapped Gu Jingshen fiercely. A crisp "slap" sound echoed throughout the room. This sudden slap not only stunned Gu Jingshen, but also shocked the people around him. After all, Gu Jingzhou, as the second child in the family, has always been known for his gentleness. On weekdays, let alone hitting people, even quarreling with his brothers rarely happens, let alone being as ruthless as today.

Gu Jingshen, who was beaten dizzy, covered his face and shouted angrily: "Second brother, are you crazy? You beat me for that bitch! Did she gossip and talk nonsense in front of you and say a lot of bad things about us?"

Gu Jingzhou was about to speak when Gu Yao unexpectedly ran down from the upstairs like a frightened deer. She had tears as bright as pearls in her eyes, and she was biting her lower lip tightly. Her face was full of grievance, and she looked extremely pitiful.

"Second brother, third brother, can you please stop arguing? Please don't quarrel because of Yaoyao. I know that sister Nian Nian is the legitimate daughter of this family. I have been occupying the nest for so many years, and I should be the one to leave. So I will leave now. But I hope you two brothers will not argue about this matter. I will go in and apologize to sister and ask for her forgiveness." After saying this, he was about to step out of the door.

How could Gu Jingshen let Gu Yao leave this home? He rushed forward like a gust of wind and hugged Gu Yao tightly in his arms.

He said softly, "Yaoyao, how can you leave this home? You will always be my sister. In this life and in the next. Your second brother is having some problems at work, so he is in a bad mood. Yaoyao, don't mind it. Third brother will take you out to enjoy delicious food." After that, she no longer paid attention to Gu Jingzhou and walked out of the house.

Gu Jingzhou stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning. This was the Gu family. At this point, he finally realized how difficult it was for Gu Nian to spend those two years in this family.

If Gu Yao cries with red eyes, everyone will be biased towards her. This is the so-called family affection. No wonder Gu Yao deceived everyone in the last life and caused the Gu family to be destroyed. No... Since I already know what happened in the last life, I will definitely not repeat the same mistake. But now that everyone believes in this Gu Yao, how can I let everyone see Gu Yao's true face?

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone and dialed a stranger's number and gave the other party a few instructions.

The birthday party was held in a grand ten-star hotel owned by the Gu family, which is considered to be extremely luxurious. It is said that the cost of a single banquet table in this hotel venue was a staggering 2000 million, which is simply synonymous with extravagance.

On that day, Gu Yao was surrounded by all the celebrities like a queen. She was wearing a dress made of silk, which cost 200 million yuan! Although the local celebrities were from wealthy families, they rarely wore such expensive clothes on weekdays. They usually only wore clothes worth millions or tens of millions. However, they had never seen this dress worth 200 million yuan, and they had never worn it.

Now, Gu Yao appeared at the birthday party wearing this dress worth more than 200 million yuan, which would undoubtedly arouse the envy of many socialites.

Today, all five brothers of the Gu family came to the scene. After all, the Xiao family would also be present at the birthday party. Although the Gu family was wealthy and powerful, they were still slightly inferior to the famous Xiao family. Now that the Xiao family was coming to attend their daughter's birthday party, they naturally had to make a big fuss.

At this time, Xiao Guoqiang also appeared at the scene with his two sons. Gu Shanhai and several sons of the Gu family hurried out to greet them.

"Mr. Xiao, it is the greatest honor for our Gu family that you can come to my daughter's birthday party. Mr. Xiao, Madam Xiao, Young Master Xiao, and Second Young Master Xiao, please come in!" Gu Shanhai respectfully invited the Xiao family into the banquet hall and led them directly to the seats of honor.

The guests present were all stunned. They had never expected that the highly anticipated Xiao Guoqiang would be present today. Who was Xiao Guoqiang? He was a top chaebol and the richest man in the world. His visit to the Gu family made the Gu family's status even more prosperous.

At this moment, Gu Shanhai was quick to pull his daughter Gu Yao over.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you for coming today to attend my daughter Yaoyao's birthday party. Yaoyao, come and pay your respects!" Gu Shanhai gently pushed his daughter Gu Yao beside him.

At this time, Gu Yao, holding a glass of wine, walked tremblingly to Xiao Guoqiang and said in a tender voice: "Mr. Xiao, thank you for taking the time to come to my niece's birthday party. It is my niece's great honor. Mr. Xiao, please!" After that, she handed the wine over.

Although Xiao Guoqiang had met Gu Nian before, he had never met Gu Yao. This time, he came to thank Gu Nian. He was busy with work before and was unable to thank her in person. He heard that it was the birthday party of Gu's daughter, so he came specially. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by a woman who he had never met before and was dressed as gorgeous as a peacock. What exactly does this woman want?

"Who are you? You are dressed like a green grasshopper. Gu Shanhai, today I came to attend your daughter's birthday party because your daughter once saved my life. What is your intention in letting this woman come to toast you?" Xiao Guoqiang asked unhappily.

Gu Shanhai looked embarrassed, thinking to himself, what does this mean? Isn't it just to attend my daughter's birthday party? My daughter is Gu Yao.

Gu Yao was also extremely embarrassed when she saw this. Then she raised the wine glass with a smile on her face and said coquettishly: "Mr. Xiao, you really like to joke. I am Gu Yao, the daughter of the Gu family. Aren't you here to attend my birthday party today? If Mr. Xiao doesn't like this wine, how about we change to another one?" After that, Gu Yao bowed slightly again, staring at the man in front of her with her beautiful eyes.

I thought to myself, how could this man be so indifferent? Anyone who looked at my big watery eyes would probably be attracted by them.

Xiao Guoqiang didn't even raise his head to look at Gu Yao. He could smell the strong perfume on the woman in front of him. He was a veteran, like a sharp cheetah, and he immediately saw that this woman was unusual. His heart was like a mirror, and he knew what this woman was up to. Therefore, he ignored her and put on a face that was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.

At this time, the guests nearby were whispering to each other.

"What the hell is going on? Didn't Mr. Xiao come to attend Gu Yao's birthday party? How did it turn out like this? And look at Mr. Xiao's face..."

"Yes, when Mr. Xiao first came in, his face was full of smiles, just like the warm sunshine in spring, but when he saw Gu Yao, his face suddenly became much gloomier, like an eggplant hit by frost. From what he said, could it be that Mr. Xiao is not here to attend Gu Yao's birthday party?"

At this embarrassing moment, suddenly, a woman stood up from the guests next to her. She was wearing a noble and elegant custom-made dress, like a noble peacock. She held a wine glass and walked to the table gracefully.
