"Oh! Isn't the Gu family holding a banquet tomorrow? Can you ask the Gu family to send an invitation to the Xu family as well?" Zhang was really risking her reputation. After all, those who were invited to the Gu family's banquet were either rich or noble. Even making friends with one or two of them would be of great benefit to the Xu family's business.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Xu Wan asked hesitantly.

"What's inappropriate about this? When Gu Huaizhi marries you in the future, our Xu family and Gu family will be in-laws. This is reasonable and logical!" Zhang secretly thought that Xu Wan was too dull and didn't know how to seize the opportunity.

Tsk tsk, they kicked her out of the Xu family, and now treat her as a mistress, and even instigated her to become the mistress. The Xu family is really amazing.

"Aunt, I'm just the adopted daughter of the Gu family. How can I convince the Gu family to send an invitation to the Xu family? Aren't you making things difficult for me?" Xu Wan said in embarrassment.

"Xiao Wan, just talk to your partner. It's just an invitation, not a big deal. Gu Huaizhi likes you so much, he won't reject you."

Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and looked at the man next to her. Her cheap relatives seemed to believe in her charm.

Seeing Xu Wan remained silent for a long time, Zhang became anxious and began to play the emotional card: "Xiao Wan, our family's company has been poorly managed over the years and has been going downhill. After all, this is also the hard work of your parents. Can you bear to watch all this hard work go to waste?"

"Well, aunt, you guys give me back all my shares, and I'll persuade Gu Huaizhi to see if he's willing to agree."

"Xiao Wan, how can you say such things? We are family, and your uncle and I are not greedy for the inheritance left by your younger brothers and sisters. You are still young, and you don't understand. When your uncle took over this company, it was just a shell company. We also subsidized a lot of money to protect your parents' hard work. You say such things now, which is really chilling."

Still feeling chilled, Xu Wan felt cold in the womb.

"Then I'll try. Let's not talk about it for now." Xu Wan didn't give her a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.

"You agreed just like that?" Gu Huaizhi looked at her with some surprise.

Based on what he had learned about her these days, the Xu family's actions were definitely out of grudge.

"Let them come if they want to. I want to blind their snobbish eyes." Xu Wan said confidently.

Gu Huaizhi looked at her, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but soon returned to his normal expression: "It's up to you."

"Don't you need me to persuade you?" Xu Wan cast a teasing look at him.

The car stopped by the roadside.

"If you want." He didn't show any embarrassment of being teased, but just stated the facts calmly, but his deep eyes fell directly on Xu Wan's face and his gaze moved downwards.

The temperature in the car suddenly began to rise. Xu Wan's cheeks flushed slightly. She looked into Gu Huaizhi's eyes, and she felt as if she was about to be burned by him. She withdrew her gaze in a panic.

There was something wrong with Gu Huaizhi today.

Xu Wan thought about it and turned to look at him, wanting to confirm again, only to see that he had returned to his cold and noble look.

……

This time the banquet was held at the Gu family's winery, and almost all the important figures in the capital came.

Gu Huaizhi held up the wine glass and responded to the guests' greetings.

"Don't you dislike Xu Wan? Why are you making such a big fuss to give her face?" Gong Yucheng said with emotion.

"This scandal concerns Gu's stock price. Naturally, I will not sit idly by." The man took a sip of wine with a calm expression.

"Is it really just because of the stock price?" Gong Yucheng asked suspiciously.

"What else?" Gu Huaizhi asked him back.

Gong Yucheng paused, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "That's right! Apart from the company's stock price, there is really nothing worth making a fuss about."

Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"But why can't I see the heroine?" Gong Yucheng said and began to look around.

“She’s modeling.”

"Tsk, women are trouble." He shook his head and sighed.

"You're not much worse." Gu Huaizhi looked at his gelled hair meaningfully.

Gong Yucheng felt a little unconfident when he was stared at. He raised his hand and touched his slicked-back hair. "I just sighed casually. Why are you scolding me? Why are you protecting Xu Wan so much?"

Gu Huaizhi still had no expression on his face, and raised his thin lips slightly: "It's simply because your hair is an eyesore to me."

He quickly raised his other hand to protect his hair. "This is the result of my hard work for an hour. Why are you making personal attacks on my hair?"

Gu Huaizhi just gave him a look and walked away.

the other side.

Xu Wan lifted her skirt and walked carefully in her high heels towards the hall not far away.

Along the way, many people cast astonished glances at her.

"Hey, who is this?" a sharp female voice sounded.

Xu Wan looked up and saw that it was Li Jialin, Jiang Nana's cousin.

She looked at her with contempt, "I thought you were so great, but it turns out you are just a poor person in Kyoto, who took advantage of the Gu family's status as an adopted daughter to bully others, and now you are the mistress."

Obviously, Li Jialin still resents her because of Cheng Zexu's incident.

"Since you said I'm the adopted daughter of the Gu family, you should also know that this is the Gu family's territory. Shake your brains out before talking to me, otherwise I don't mind kicking you out and letting everyone in the whole circle laugh at you." Xu Wan looked nonchalant, but his words were extremely harsh.

Li Jialin saw that her words did not sound fake, but she was unwilling to show weakness easily, "Don't scare me! The Gu family just gave you a meal out of pity for you, do you really think you are a big shot?!"

Xu Wan waved to the bodyguard guarding the door.

The bodyguard quickly walked over, "Madam."

"What?" Li Jialin suspected that she was hallucinating. What did it mean that this person was called Madam Xu Wan?

"Get her out." Xu Wan pointed at Li Jialin, then continued walking towards the hall without looking back.

"Xu Wan ni!" Li Jialin wanted to follow him, but was stopped by the bodyguard.

"Miss, please follow me."

"Why?!" Li Jialin was extremely dissatisfied. She had carefully prepared for today's banquet for a long time.

"She is the madam, the hostess of this winery." The bodyguard said expressionlessly.

"What kind of crappy lady is she? Isn't she a mistress?" Li Jialin still didn't understand how Xu Wan suddenly became the hostess of this winery.

The bodyguard's face had completely turned cold. "Miss, please leave, or we will take coercive measures."

There happened to be some guests walking in nearby, and for a moment they all cast strange looks at Li Jialin.

Li Jialin felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she could only pick up her skirt and leave angrily.

In the banquet hall, there was toasting and dining.

"coming!"
