The first exchange of words tonight.

Ji Chutang won completely.

Naturally, the people around heard it, and they couldn't help but lower their voices and talk about it.

Although she couldn't hear what these people were saying, the governor's wife felt that they were mocking her, which made her feel uneasy.

Seeing that the governor's wife was at a disadvantage, the governor could no longer sit still. He cursed her inwardly as an idiot and stepped forward to rescue her.

"Your aunt meant well, but she was not thoughtful enough, so Chu Tang should not take it to heart."

With just one sentence, Ji Chutang was described as a petty person.

Just because Ji Chutang doesn’t speak doesn’t mean Gu Huaijin won’t say anything.

"Why would the warlord bother with a child? Besides, Chu Tang is telling the truth."

A trace of embarrassment also flashed across Governor Gu's face. Now, both he and his wife had become a laughing stock.

They didn't know whether other people would laugh, but these two little beasts in front of them would definitely laugh heartily.

But when I thought about their plans, I had to shut up.

Governor Gu then pretended to be kind: "Yes, yes, Dad shouldn't have said so much to your sister. Come to the table quickly. We are waiting for you."

Gu Huaijin didn't say anything, but when he heard the word "Dad", a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he went in with Ji Chutang.

When they took their seats, the Gu family arranged for Gu Huaijin to sit at the top seat, just to the right of Governor Gu.

But Ji Chutang arranged the last seat in the Gu family.

Although there was no seat for outsiders.

But from this arrangement, it is clear enough that the Gu family dislikes Ji Chutang and excludes her.

Gu Huaijin was a willful person, so he took Ji Chutang to sit next to him.

Who cares about the ugly faces of the Gu family and others.

Finally, the one sitting at the last seat could only be the seventh child, the least favored among Governor Gu’s children.

This made Miss Gu Qi angry, but she had no choice but to silently resent her other brothers and sisters, and also resent Ji Chutang who came from a humble background.

This banquet was a bit weird, as Governor Gu wanted both a Chinese-style birthday banquet and a modern-style dinner.

It really fits his greedy nature to want it all.

Now that everyone is gathered, the banquet will naturally begin.

Exquisite dishes were served on the table.

When the guests saw the main table start eating, they naturally began to feast.

While eating, Gu Huaijin continued to take care of Ji Chutang as if no one else was around, as if she was still the skinny little girl he was raising.

Hoping that she could eat more, he naturally picked up some food for Ji Chutang. Ji Chutang didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, Gu Huaijin had always been like that.

It was as if she was a slow-growing little animal that needed to be fed constantly, otherwise she would easily die.

To the guests, this scene was a blind date between brother and sister, but Mrs. Gu felt something was wrong.

In her heart, Gu Huaijin was a cold-hearted little beast who was ruthless to his own brothers and sisters, so why would he love an orphan girl who was not related to him in any way so much?

They were obviously hiding something, so they felt uneasy while eating. It seemed as if they wanted to say something to Gu Huaijin, but were hesitant, fearing that they would be embarrassed again.

Governor Gu signaled Mrs. Gu to speak with his eyes.

Mrs. Gu gritted her teeth and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be twisted.

But a flattering, hypocritical, and pretentious smile appeared on his face: "Huai Jin, I have something to tell you."

Gu Huaijin pretended not to hear anything and ignored it.

This made the governor's wife feel even more jealous.

Ji Chutang nudged Gu Huaijin lightly with his elbow, motioning him to take over, otherwise how would he know their purpose?

Gu Huaijin could only lazily look up and said in a cold voice: "What does Madam want to say?"

Gu Huaijin's attitude was really not good.

But there is a staircase down, which is good enough.

Madam Gu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's like this. The daughter of the Su family in Yuecheng fell in love with you at first sight, so the Su family sent someone to ask your father and me for our opinions. We have considered it and Miss Su is a perfect match for you."

"She is a British lady who has studied abroad. She is also the most famous lady in Yuecheng. Her family background is also well matched with our Gu family. This is a very good marriage."

"We were afraid that such a good marriage would be snatched up by someone else, so we... agreed."

After these words were spoken, Gu Huaijin's face instantly turned cold, and the same was true for Ji Chutang.

Gu Huaijin couldn't help but sneer. This Gu family was really taking advantage of him and even wanted to interfere in his marriage.

"Madam, you really think of me. Why don't you leave this best marriage to your son? I, Gu Huaijin, cannot afford such a great gift."

This clearly means that he, Gu Huaijin, disagrees.

Mrs. Gu was gritting her teeth, this was a great marriage, she naturally wanted to fight for her son, but the Su family was short-sighted and looked down on her son.

Moreover, the governor wanted to use this marriage to achieve certain goals, so how could he be willing to change people?

They have already distributed the benefits.

When Governor Gu heard this, his face turned dark.

He slammed the table and stood up: "Gu Huaijin, don't be so shameless. It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. How can you disagree with it?"

Governor Gu attempted to use filial piety to suppress Gu Huaijin.

If it were someone else, they would probably have to suffer the loss in silence.

But Gu Huaijin is the kind of person who does whatever he wants and never follows the rules. If he really values ​​these foolish filial piety, Gu Huaijin would have been eaten up without leaving anything behind.

The reason he has survived all these years and reached his current position step by step is because of his ruthlessness and cold-heartedness.

"If you don't want to hold this banquet today, just say so."

This is already a naked threat.

Governor Gu was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

Mrs. Gu quickly supported him and comforted his chest. Her exaggerated behavior really attracted the attention of all the guests.

It seems that Gu Huaijin is an extremely unfilial person.

In this way, the prominent families in Lucheng would disdain to associate with Gu Huaijin. This was one of their little calculations.

He also wanted to use this to pressure Gu Huaijin into agreeing.

So Madam Gu cried and complained, as if she was really sad: "Huai Jin, I know you resent me. After Madam passed away, I took over the position of Madam, but you can't ask the governor to stay with your mother for the rest of his life and never marry again."

"Your father is still your biological father after all. There is no such thing as an overnight hatred between father and son. Besides, your father is always thinking about you. He is old. Can't you listen to him for once? This will also make him feel more at ease in his later years. He also hopes that you will be happy."

Mrs. Gu was crying with tears in her eyes.

How pitiful! Such accusations really nailed Gu Huaijin to the name of being unfilial.

The looks from the guests around were even weirder.

I originally thought that with such tears and sobs, Gu Huaijin would have to agree under pressure.

As long as he agrees in front of everyone, there is no need to worry that he will go back on his word. Even if he wants to go back on his word in the future, we can still tear some flesh off him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Huaijin didn't buy into their tricks at all, and continued to act recklessly, saying coldly: "No."

These two words made Mrs. Gu swallow back what she wanted to say, and made the pretentious commander look even uglier.

Ji Chutang was very satisfied with his brother's behavior. He was not morally blackmailed and was determined not to engage in internal conflicts.
