The old tutor's face sank as he released the pressure he had accumulated for decades. It was so heavy that he couldn't even breathe.
Ye Wanqing's eyelids drooped slightly, no one spoke, everyone was silently waiting, no one wanted to be the first one to take the lead, and the atmosphere slowly became tense. Servants stood by the side, watching, not daring to serve food, and Gu Jinyuan took the initiative to break the silence.
"I can afford to raise my son, so I don't need other people to help me."
He clearly said that he didn't want the greeting gift from these people, but it was more like a warning to Old Man Gu not to try to interfere in the matter of the children.
Everyone present was intelligent, and was able to understand what Gu Jinyuan meant.
These words were something that only he dared to say to the old tutor. The others were secretly rubbing their hands together in excitement, wanting to watch the show, but didn't dare to show too much of a reaction. They only dared to secretly look at the old tutor's reaction with their eyes.
It was unknown if it was because he had been angered by Gu Jinyuan for too long that the old man wasn't even angry, nor did he raise his eyebrows.
That was true. If anyone had such a disobedient son, their temper as good as cannon fodder would be soothed.
When Gu Jinyuan and the old man were going head-on, the other people did not dare to interrupt, for they were afraid that the moment Gu Jinyuan opened his mouth, he would incur the wrath of others.
Gu Jinsi did not sit down, he slumped on the back of the chair and raised his eyebrows at Gu Jinyuan: "Tsk, you don't want others to interfere and cut three hundred million from me. What, you want to give me a son for free?"
"You dare to accept my gift?"
Gu Jinyuan said calmly, but his eyes were like that of a wild wolf's: "You dare to try one of them?"
Of course, Gu Jinsi did not dare to take it. His scalp went numb from being stared at by Gu Jinyuan, and he hurriedly sat down properly, "Cough cough, I was just joking, why are you being so serious?"
This wasn't a joke that anyone could joke about.
Gu Jinyuan did not speak anymore, and the atmosphere seemed to have relaxed a little as servants began to serve the dishes.
Everyone in the Gu family had pretty good etiquette. The servants were continuously serving the dishes, but no one made a sound. Everyone was doing their own things methodically, like an extremely professional actor performing a comical silent play.
Ye Chenlin had never eaten so formally before, he looked at Gu Zhenmu and the others, and then timidly and stealthily pulled at the corner of Ye Wanqing's clothes.
Ye Wanqing turned his head, and saw his slightly widened eyes, filled with terror. He was very uneasy, like a small beast that had just arrived at a foreign environment.
"Don't be afraid, learn from big brother Mu Mu."
Ye Wanqing comforted him gently. Before he could retract his smile, Old Man Gu suddenly asked: "This child … "What's your name?"
The old man's gaze fell in this direction, but he wasn't looking at Ye Chenlin, he was looking at Ye Wanqing instead.
Gu Jinyuan mentioned that he wanted to change Ye Chenlin's surname to 'Gu'. Previously, Ye Chenlin did not seem to be able to stop this, so the matter was put on hold.
"In the past, when the child followed me, his surname would be my surname. But now that he has returned, since he wants to change it back, he has to follow Jin Yuan."
Ye Wanqing brought along Gu Jinyuan's name, subconsciously hoping that this would strengthen his courage. Otherwise, he would be too isolated and without help.
"Has the account been relocated? Did you change the name on the book? " The old man continued to ask in detail, slowly cutting off the connection between the child and Ye Wanqing.
"The paperwork has been completed."
Gu Jinyuan replied as he scooped up a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing did not dare to turn his head to look at him, he only saw that the hand he was holding the bowl with, was as slender as jade with his distinct joints.
She had always thought that this matter had been set aside, she never thought that Gu Jinyuan would have already settled this matter.
That's right, with his personality, how could he bear to have his own blood and flesh always bearing the surname of an enemy?
Ye Wanqing's throat was slightly choked, he could not speak, and was afraid that he would lose his composure, so he quickly picked up the soup and took a sip.
The soup was a sour and sweet appetizing soup, it had a sweet taste in the mouth, and a sweet taste in the teeth.
The others also started to eat. Because Mu Mu and Lin Lin were young, there were servants standing behind each of them, helping them to spread the food like maids from ancient times.
So many people were eating, yet there wasn't even the sound of chopsticks colliding. There wasn't even the sound of chewing or swallowing.
This kind of scene caused Ye Wanqing to feel unbearably uncomfortable. If this was the Gu Family's rule, then she felt that this family rule was already strict to the point of perverted.
She could not imagine how Gu Zhenmu had grown up in such an environment, nor could she imagine how Ye Chenlin would integrate into such an environment in the future.
She may be a very unambitious mother, both hoping that the three children will be able to eat and sleep well, but also hoping that they will grow up healthy and happy and not be too constrained.
Gu Jinyuan was a classic product of the Gu family's education. He had a business mind and his wrists were strong, making people afraid of him in the marketplace. He was so young, and already so outstanding that many people would find it difficult to catch a glimpse of him in their lifetime.
He seemed to be unable to feel the sincerity and love of others.
Ye Wanqing was unable to conclude that he was not happy like this. After all, he was worth billions and he had happiness beyond her imagination. It was just that Ye Wanqing did not wish for the three children to become a copy of Gu Jinyuan.
It was very abstract, and was also very difficult to fathom. Many people might not even be able to see this relationship, which made their hearts palpitate, and they wanted to work even harder for once, regardless of everything. However, Ye Wanqing hoped that the three children would meet their greatest love in the future.
In that case, their souls were very happy, and that happiness was far greater than the happiness that money brought.
"When are you going to send them abroad next year?"
The old man wiped his mouth gracefully after drinking the soup.
It was impossible for Gu Jinyuan to report the matter of sending the child out of the country, but he knew all too well that it was clearly in response to what Gu Jinyuan had just said.
Gu Jinyuan didn't want the old man to meddle in his son's affairs, but everything was within the old man's grasp.
This feeling of being monitored and controlled was not good. Ye Wanqing felt a bit of resistance in his heart, let alone Gu Jinyuan.
He put down his chopsticks. When the chopsticks made of white jade hit the bowl, a crisp sound rang out. It was like a light strike from a piece of jade, yet it carried a kind of valiant resolution.
"I said, you don't have to care!"
Gu Jinyuan directly said this, he did not want the Old Master to interfere in the matter of the child.
Such blatant disobedience also made the old man put down his chopsticks, and he coldly looked at Gu Jinyuan.
One old and one young, the two quietly clashed. The others couldn't help but stop, wanting to see who would have the upper hand this time.
Although the authority in the Gu family had already been handed over to Gu Jinyuan, the old man had a strong and sturdy body, his might was strong, and his position on the board of directors was even stronger than Gu Jinyuan's.
The two of them clashed. Ye Chenlin, who was eating quietly at the side, suddenly slipped and knocked over a bowl.
The old man looked deeply into Gu Jinyuan's eyes, and said in a low voice, "I can ignore the matter of the child. What do you plan to do with this woman?"
