Reborn and returned, sisters swapped

Gu Yuande sat in the main seat, smiling, his gaze sweeping over the guests.

His authority and demeanor command respect.

However, the power struggles simmering beneath the surface are like undercurrents, ready to erupt at any moment.

The banquet was in full swing, while Gu Jinyan sat quietly to the side, observing the surrounding commotion.

She noticed that several relatives were whispering among themselves, seemingly discussing some secret.

Her intuition told her that there must be something more to this.

"There will definitely be a lot of people secretly competing at this family banquet," Gu Jinyan thought to himself.

At that moment, Quran suddenly stood up, raised his cup to toast Gu Yuande, and spoke earnestly.

"Father, you've worked so hard. I hope you can continue to support me so that I can make a difference in the family."

As soon as she finished speaking, the surrounding guests echoed her sentiments, and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

As Gu Jinyan watched this scene, the intention behind Quran's words became crystal clear.

As the climax of the banquet drew near, Gu Yuande smiled calmly and turned to Gu Jinyan.

"Jinyan, come and toast your father too, and see how well you've learned these past few days."

Gu Jinyan realized that this was a great opportunity to showcase himself.

She slowly stood up, a smile on her face, but secretly she was thinking, "I must let my father see the changes in me, and let him know that I am not insignificant."

Gu Jinyan picked up his wine glass, walked up to Gu Yuande, his gaze firm, and his voice clear and loud.

"Father, I raise a toast to you, wishing you continued success in the rise and fall of power, and that you remain as steadfast as a rock!"

Gu Jinyan's voice echoed in the banquet hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Gu Yuande was slightly taken aback, then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

The daughter's toast was not only a sign of respect for herself, but also an affirmation of her position at the center of power.

“Since its founding, the Gu family has been closely linked to power. Father, your wisdom and decision-making in the court make us extremely proud.”

Gu Jinyan continued.

"In this turbulent time, you stand firm like a majestic mountain, protecting every member of our family."

Inside the banquet hall, everyone turned to look, trying to grasp the deeper meaning behind Gu Jinyan's words.

Gu Jinyan pondered to himself how to make this toast more meaningful.

Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Every decision you make in the court paves a glorious path for the Gu family."

My daughter believes that with your wisdom and foresight, you will surely rise through the ranks in your official career.

Gu Yuande's gaze grew increasingly profound, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"In the imperial court, you always maintained a clear mind and did your best to protect the interests and honor of the family."

Gu Jinyan continued, his voice filled with passion, "Our Gu family will brave the winds and waves and forge ahead in this ocean of power."

Your daughter is willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and face the challenges of the future together.

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere became even more lively.

"May the Gu family, under your leadership, forever stand at the pinnacle of power and become an unshakeable force!"

Ancient Brocade Rock High-pitched Channel.

Only in the game of power can one truly realize their value and ideals within the ancient family.

Gu Yuande raised his wine glass.

He looked at Gu Jinyan and secretly praised her: "This daughter has indeed lived up to my expectations."

"Come on, everyone, let's raise a toast to the Gu family!"

Gu Yuande raised his wine glass, inspiring the entire audience to join in, and the sound of glasses clinking filled the air.

It seems to be a triumphant song for the future of the Gu family.

At this hopeful moment, a voice carried on the wind said, "I will continue to work hard, not only for my father, but also for the glory and future of the Gu family!"

Amidst exclamations of praise, Gu Jinyan drank it all in one gulp.

Gu Jinyan's behavior drew everyone's attention. A glimmer of light flashed across Gu Lanci's face, but he quickly returned to his smile, seemingly trying to hide his inner anxiety.

Gu Jinyan's performance undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, especially her father, Gu Yuande.

This moment marked Gu Jinyan's first victory since her rebirth. Although it was only the beginning, it laid the foundation for her path of revenge.

"Good, Jinyan, your talent and thoughtfulness have surprised me."

Gu Yuande nodded in approval.

The relatives around him cast approving glances, but a hint of gloom lingered in Quran's smile.

He thought to himself, "How did this bitch suddenly become so outstanding? I absolutely cannot let her steal my thunder!"

As the banquet progressed, the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

Gu Jinyan gently straightened his sleeves and slowly walked to the center of the banquet hall, his clear voice ringing out in the hall.

"Dear relatives and friends, today I would like to recite a poem I composed myself to express my respect for my family and my expectations for the future."

Everyone quieted down and focused their attention on Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan smiled slightly, looked up at the window, and the moonlight shone on her.

It gave her a soft glow.

He cleared his throat and slowly recited:

"The Moon Shines on the Ancient Family"

The moon shines on the shadows of a thousand trees in the ancient village.

The wind whispers by the water, and the pines murmur.

Family bloodline has a long history.

We share power struggles and scheming in this life.

Gu Jinyan's voice flowed like a clear spring, every word and phrase filled with deep emotion.

She continued singing:

The mountains are high, the waters are wide, and the road is long.

We are not alone when we join hands and move forward together.

Wealth and honor are attainable.

May our families live in harmony and happiness forever.

With each line recited, Gu Jinyan seemed to infuse his deep affection for his family into the poem.

His voice was sometimes powerful and resonant, and sometimes as gentle as water, moving everyone present.

"The moon shining on the ancient family symbolizes that our ancient family has always stood firm under the glory of power;

"And the whispering wind by the water symbolizes our determination to weather the storm together." Gu Jinyan's voice rose slowly.

Everyone listened intently, as if they were witnessing a series of historical scenes unfolding before their eyes.

“Our family bloodline is like a long river, flowing endlessly, passing on our wisdom and courage,” Gu Jinyan continued. “No matter how difficult the future may be, we will join hands and face it together.”

The voice gradually rose in intensity, as if it were a cry for the future of the Gu family.

The last sentence, spoken with all his might, was booming like a bell:

May our families live in harmony and happiness forever!

As the last word was uttered, enthusiastic applause erupted in the banquet hall, and everyone stood up to raise their glasses in celebration.

Gu Yuande smiled, secretly making plans in his heart.

"What a wonderful poem! What a beautiful recitation!" someone shouted, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic.
