Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty
Chapter 11 A wealthy family’s banquet
Inside the luxurious private room of the Fanjiang Huating Hotel, four of the five major conglomerates of Fanjiang had gathered. The surroundings were elegantly decorated, and every detail exuded nobility and distinction, but at the moment, the atmosphere was slightly tense.
Li Fengtian, the typically impatient chairman of Huadong Technology Group, was already fidgeting. His brow furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and anxiety. He couldn't help but ask Hong Dancheng of Hongyuan Real Estate, who was standing across from him, "Old Hong, what's going on today?"
After hearing this, Hong Dancheng sighed softly, turned his gaze to Tian Zhenyuan who was sitting in the main seat, and said slowly: "Yes, it has been a while since we got together like this. I remember the last time was when my eldest brother was still here."
Tian Zhenyuan's eyes scanned the surroundings like a hawk, a hint of disdain twitching at the corner of his mouth. His voice was tinged with sarcasm, "Brother? Ha, it's so ironic to hear those two words coming out of your mouth."
Lin Dawei, who was sitting opposite him, was now immersed in the virtual world of his mobile phone with his head down, as if the disputes in the outside world had nothing to do with him. He seemed indifferent to this conversation.
After hearing this, Hong Dancheng raised his eyebrows, a hint of indignation on his face: "Why? Didn't you always call me 'Big Brother' affectionately back then? How come this title has become taboo for you now?"
Tian Zhenyuan's fat face was tense as a drum at this moment. He snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze from the window, and turned to Hong Dancheng, with an indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. People always change, don't they?" Although his voice was calm, it revealed an indifference and alienation that was difficult to conceal.
Seeing the atmosphere around them gradually becoming tense, Li Toyota stood up decisively and waved his hands to smooth things over. "Everyone, what happened? These are all things from the past. Bringing them up again will really hurt the harmony among us brothers. Besides, it's not easy for us to get together. Let's not keep talking about those trivial things."
He looked around, his gaze lingering on everyone's face for a moment before finally settling on the empty seat. A complex smile played at the corner of his mouth. "Speaking of that old man from Beihan Mountain, he seems quite carefree. I heard he went to Zhongnan Mountain to practice. He's truly an unpredictable old fellow."
He then changed the subject and turned his gaze towards Lin Dawei, who was playing with his phone. A hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes, "Dawei, have you heard anything about Beihanshan recently? How's he doing over there?"
Lin Dawei slowly raised his head, his gaze flickering between Tian Zhenyuan and Hong Dancheng before finally settling on Li Toyota's face. His voice was filled with a hint of helplessness and confusion. "I don't know anything about Lao Bei's whereabouts. As you know, I haven't been out much lately, so I naturally have no idea of Lao Bei's current situation."
Hong Dancheng snorted coldly, his words filled with disdain. "Whether he comes or not, what's the big deal? It's better if he doesn't come, so I don't get upset." His voice was low, but it hit everyone like a hammer. Although he and Bei Hanshan were ostensibly future in-laws, everyone in this room was aware of the distance and coldness between them.
"Who summoned us here?" At this critical moment, Tian Zhenyuan finally came back to his senses from the chaos. He frowned and turned his sharp eyes to Li Toyota who was standing beside him.
Li Toyota shrugged helplessly, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment. "Brother Tian, I'm just as confused as you are. I also received a call this afternoon asking us to get together, so I rushed over."
The atmosphere in the room grew tense at this moment, as if the air itself had frozen. These powerful figures in Fanjiang were privately aware that they each owed allegiance to different factions, with complex conflicts of interest and power behind them.
At this moment, they were mysteriously summoned here, and naturally their hearts were filled with doubts and uneasiness. However, they also knew that any rash actions at this moment could lead to unpredictable consequences. Therefore, they could only remain vigilant and wait for further developments.
"My apologies, elders, for being late. Please forgive me." As the door to the private room slowly opened, a young man in a beige suit emerged, his eyes gleaming with an unfathomable light beneath his sunglasses. It was Beichen. He walked in with a smile on his face, followed by several black-clad bodyguards, like an insurmountable wall, exuding an aura that should not be underestimated.
Li Toyota's gaze swept over Beichen, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Beichen, did you ask us to come here?" There was some confusion in his voice, as if he was a little surprised by Beichen's sudden call.
Upon hearing this, Beichen smiled even more, as if a spring breeze had blown away the chill of early spring. "Uncle Li, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you still in good health?" His words were full of kindness and concern, as if there was no barrier between the two of them.
However, Li Toyota's face darkened slightly, and the displeasure in his heart surged like a tide, "Since you asked us to come, why are you so late?" There was a hint of blame in his voice, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Beichen's lateness.
"I'm afraid he's lost in some woman's affections right now!" Hong Dancheng squinted at Beichen, his gaze sharp as a knife. He was filled with dissatisfaction and criticism towards the young man who would become his son-in-law. However, his precious daughter had a special liking for him and would marry him alone. This stubborn determination left the old father helpless. He could only sigh silently and suppress his dissatisfaction.
