Haze, whisper.” Gu Bo was holding a glass of red wine, wearing a blue suit, looking gentle and refined.

The expression on Gu Qi's face instantly disappeared and returned to his normal appearance. He then stepped forward and blocked Xin Nianyin's path, whether intentionally or not.

Seeing his actions, Xin Nianyin frowned. What deep hatred did the two brothers of the Gu family have for each other that made Gu Bo act as if he was facing a great enemy when he saw his brother?

Somehow, Xin Nianyin thought of her elder sister …

”Yi Che …” Gu Bei's face flashed with a bitter smile, ”I don't have any other intentions, I just came to say hello. After all, everyone is watching today's event …”

For a family like the Gu family, being at home was one thing. Once they walked out of the house, they would be watched by others at all times.

The slightest movement of the wind and grass would instantly spread out.

So, in time, no matter how deep the gap between the two brothers was, pretending to have basic harmony in front of outsiders was a basic understanding between the two of them.

Gu Qi instantly understood the meaning of Gu Bainian's letter, but he was still very unhappy about it being able to do so in time.

Especially the last time when Xu Yi had used a whip to whip Xin Xianyin.

With regards to the strange interaction between Gu Bajie and Gu Bainian, Xin Nianyin only cast a curious glance at the two of them before she stood on the spot obediently without saying a word.

Compared to when he was dealing with the red-clothed beauty, he seemed like a completely different person. It even made people suspect that everything he saw was just an illusion.

”The Ning family is here today as well, did you know that?” Seeing that Gu Qi had remained silent, Gu Bei slowly opened his mouth, ”The Ning Family's recent holiday resort in the east suburbs has already begun. We've sent people over a few times, but the other party doesn't seem to be satisfied …”

As he talked about the Ning Family, Gu Jue's words were filled with a sense of helplessness.

The entire Shanghai market knew that the Ning Family was strong and didn't lose out to their Gu Family.

However, the young master from the Ning family was in a really strange mood, causing him to be unable to make heads or tails of what was going on.

This time, the Ning Family's Patriarch handed over responsibility for the vacation home project to the Ning Family's Young Master, Ning Yan.

They had approached each other several times, and the plan for cooperation had changed again and again, but the other party had always been dissatisfied.

Xin Nianyin's ears twitched. She seemed to have read about the vacation home project in the contract she was supposed to sign this morning.

”I know.” Gu Qi carelessly curled her lips, ”So, I came to the banquet today, didn't it?”

”…” Xin Nianyin didn't hide her rolled her eyes at Gu Ji. 'This guy really dares to say that!'

He had done it for the sake of meeting his lover, and it had even forcefully turned into a job.

If she believed him, there was something wrong with her head.

At this time, Gu Qi completely didn't know that his trust in Xin Nianyin's heart had fallen below the bottom line.

”Hello, over there.” Gu Bei seemed to heave a sigh of relief as he smiled and nodded his head, ”Father asked me to remind you more …”

”A reminder?” Gu Qi sneered and glanced at Gu Bei's letter aggressively, ”Aren't you under surveillance?”

Ever since his father had forced his mother to death, he had wished that he could not have a son.

”Hiss …” Xin Nianyin sucked in a breath of cold air and glanced at her left hand that was being held by Gu Huan. Because her opponent was too strong, his hand was tied up with white marks.
