Chapter 161 A Family Banquet with Open Arms and Hidden Arrows

Three days later, the gu family mansion.

The gu family mansion covers a large area. The main building of the villa and the pool in the garden add up to about 1,500 square meters. On the day of the banquet, all of them are decorated. There are lights everywhere, long tables with famous wines and desserts, and professional sound and lighting technicians are employed to create the atmosphere.

The gu family was the first to make a living by doing business. Since gu Mohan's grandfather, business had become stronger and stronger. Although only gu mohan's family had the best career development and appeared most frequently in the media, the rest of their relatives were also prominent figures in the business world.

However, during the occasional family gathering, it was natural for everyone to choose this location.

The banquet officially began at 6 pm, and most of the guests would arrive early to promote the relationship business at the family banquet, but it was the best choice.

Gu mohan also returned home early at the request of his father. As soon as he entered the house, he was surrounded by a large number of relatives, asking about future cooperation, or caring about his marriage. This was why he did not like to participate in such activities before.

Just as he was about to show his usual polite way of dealing with it, a loud laugh suddenly came from afar.

The crowd consciously made way for a path, and a man in a suit walked over.

The man was tall, and although his hair was combed too rigidly and could be seen shining traces of wax under the light, his hard and handsome features were exactly like gu mohan's father's.

His face had a flamboyant but not annoying smile that perfectly matched what gu mohan remembered.

Gu mohan nodded slightly and said politely, "Uncle, you're back."

Gu yanlin was not as reserved as he was. He patted him on the shoulder and asked with a smile, "Did you just know? You don't care much about this uncle of mine. Have you become the president and I can't even get into your eyes?"

If someone close to him said that, gu mohan would probably laugh or say a few words of self-deprecation, but he knew exactly what kind of person gu yanlin was. In order to get more from his grandfather when he split up, gu yanlin did everything he could. Fortunately, although his grandfather was old, he had a clear mind and was not taken away by gu yanlin in the end.

Still expressionless, gu mohan moved his shoulders to avoid gu yanlin's palm and said calmly, "Uncle came back to this city a month ago, but he never told father. I thought you had your own ideas, so I didn't dare to disturb your arrangement."

His gaze fell on gu yanlin's eyes, and gu yanlin looked back at him with the corners of his mouth curled up.

After a while, gu yanlin looked away and laughed a few times, "My nephew is getting better at handling things! Hahaha..."

The people around them also chimed in, as if they did not see the tension between the two of them.

Gu mohan glanced at her and did not respond. Instead, he said, "It's already 5: 40."

After that, without looking at the crowd, he lifted his legs and walked towards the banquet hall.

The dining table for the banquet was long oval and could seat around twenty people. The dishes of various sizes could be placed in fifty rows.

This is the tradition of the gu family. When holding a banquet, the family must sit around and eat together, so as to show their blood is thicker than water.

Even this kind of kinship, in the face of financial interests, was already in jeopardy.

Father gu was the oldest in the room. He sat in the main seat while mother gu sat on the right. The left seat had always been gu mohan's, but today, in order to show respect for his elders, he gave the seat to gu yanlin.

Gu yanlin smiled but did not give in.

"Come, let's all raise our glasses to celebrate the growth of the gu family and thank master gu for bringing all the gu family together!"

No one knew who was the son of a filial piety, the whole table raised their glasses, although they could not touch the cup sitting on the seat, but still with an excited smile, they drank up the wine in one gulp.

Gu mohan smiled and took a sip. Before the glass was put back on the table, gu yanlin, who was diagonally opposite him, said to him, "Isn't this wine to your taste? My good nephew doesn't seem to like it very much."

Gu mohan glanced at him and said, "Not bad."

"What's okay?" Master gu said, "This is the wine your uncle brought back from abroad. It's a world famous winery."

Gu mohan was already used to gu yanlin's speech trap, but because of his father's words, he could only say apologetically, "I'm sorry, I really have no accomplishments in the appreciation of red wine. Everyone laughed at me."

"Haha -" gu yanlin laughed a few more times, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. It's not an important ability, even if it doesn't hurt."

The people at the table took the three's words as a joke to adjust the atmosphere and agreed.

Just as the scene was "Joyous," gu yanlin suddenly changed the subject and said, "This wine tasting is not important, but managing the company should be the ability that the person in charge of the gu family must possess, right?"

In a word, the table returned to a dead silence.

Gu mohan looked at him and said nothing.

Gu yanlin continued, "As far as I know, gu's recent situation seems to be very bad. The internal capital chain is chaotic. The stock price rises and falls at times, which is generally lower than the average level of the previous quarter. I even heard that a customer who has been working with gu for about seven years actually withdrew his investment after signing the letter of intent. President gu... Can tell the relatives here, What the hell is going on?"

His gaze fell on gu mohan like a wolf searching for its prey.

Gu mohan knew that it would be bad for him to come back this time, but he had just learned that he had arrived a month earlier. He had not prepared for any possible accidents, so he was caught off guard.

After a few turns of thought, he decided to kick the ball back first, "My uncle has been abroad all year round. He knows the situation of the gu family very well. It's just that this is an internal problem of the gu family. Uncle, what do you mean by that?"

Gu yanlin slammed the cup on the table and grinned, "Wise people don't talk in secret! I didn't approve of it when my eldest brother passed it to you, and it's not surprising that this is happening now. So what I mean is, if you let the gu family be destroyed in your hands, you might as well hand it over to someone more capable!"

Gu mohan looked at him with deep eyes, "Who is the more capable person?"

"Me!" Gu yanlin said loudly.
