Chapter 232 The Gu Family Gathering

Shen Wancheng thought of this and asked directly.

Will Gu Qinglan and her family come back?

Gu Jinxing grasped Shen Wancheng's hand and said.

"Don't worry, even before I mentioned it yesterday, Grandpa told me that Gu Qinglan's family wouldn't be coming back. Now, no one in our family can surpass you."

Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "I have no interest in this competition. I just feel that if Gu Qinglan's family comes back, I should be more careful tomorrow."

"Don't worry, absolutely not. Even if Grandpa didn't mention it yesterday, I would have said it anyway: if Gu Qinglan's family comes back for the family gathering, then you and I won't attend."

Gu Jinxing is already the de facto head of the Gu family in this generation. If he doesn't attend this family gathering, what's the point of it?

So at least Gu Mingqian understood and didn't ask Gu Qinglan to come back, otherwise the Gu family would have been the ones in an awkward situation in the end.

Where are Gu Qinglan's family now?

"An island under my name."

Shen Wancheng was a little surprised; she had thought that Gu Qinglan's family lived abroad.

As it turned out, the family's life on the island under Gu Jinxing's name was much worse than Shen Wancheng had imagined. On Gu Jinxing's territory, they were essentially under house arrest by him.

Shen Wancheng didn't need to think too much to guess that Gu Jinxing would only let them have enough to eat, and there would be no other entertainment or freedom.

Gu Jinxing knew what Shen Wancheng was thinking, and he explained, "They caused a small flaw in our engagement banquet, and I certainly can't let them get away with it."

Shen Wancheng smiled at Gu Jinxing, "Actually, it's alright. I didn't take them to heart."

When Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing returned home, Aunt Liu, worried that Shen Wancheng might not have eaten well at the banquet, prepared a late-night snack for them.

Bird's nest porridge is still a good choice for pregnant women as it helps them sleep. Aunt Liu added a little milk, and Shen Wancheng's sense of taste was no longer as sensitive as it was in early pregnancy, so he could accept it.

Liu Ma prepared wonton noodles for Gu Jinxing, and Shen Wancheng, who was craving them, ate two wontons with chili.

During her pregnancy, Shen Wancheng did not specifically avoid any particular foods, but Aunt Liu's cooking was mainly bland. Over time, Shen Wancheng often felt that her mouth was tasteless and wanted to eat something with a stronger flavor.

However, she went to bed immediately and didn't eat much, afraid that her stomach wouldn't be able to handle it in the middle of the night.

After having a late-night snack, the couple went back to their room to wash up and go to bed, so they could recharge for the family dinner the next day.

Shen Wancheng originally thought that even if Gu Qinglan herself didn't attend, there would always be someone in the Gu family who was close to her.

They dared not act recklessly in important matters, but they might still cause trouble for their new wife when the women were chatting over tea.

To her surprise, the Gu family treated her much better the next day than she had imagined.

This made Shen Wancheng wonder if Gu Jinxing married her because he urgently needed a Mrs. Gu to stabilize his home front.

In the morning, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing arrived at the Gu Mansion, where Gu Mingqian kept them by his side to talk.

It wasn't until after lunch that Shen Wancheng began to interact with the women of the Gu family.

At first, Shen Wancheng spent time with Wen Nan, talking to people of Wen Nan's generation to get to know them better.

Gu Mingqian has two younger brothers and one younger sister. The two brothers have five sons. Shen Wancheng has only met the wives of these men once at their wedding and can't tell them apart, so she calls them all "uncle" and "aunt".

These people all work for the Gu family; some may be in charge of subsidiaries of the Gu Group, while others are just junior managers in those subsidiaries.

Regardless of whether someone is perceptive or not, they certainly wouldn't openly provoke Shen Wancheng.

However, some people, even without deliberately causing trouble, were too stupid and greedy, and still offended Shen Wancheng.

Shen Wancheng and Wen Nan hadn't been chatting for long when another young person suggested playing mahjong.

These people sent Cai Xinyi, who had been in contact with Shen Wancheng, to ask Shen Wancheng if she wanted to play mahjong. Compared to talking to these uncles and aunts, Shen Wancheng preferred to play mahjong with people her own age.

Shen Wancheng didn't expect that these uncles and aunts would be watching her fight.

"Oh dear, why did I print this one?"

"That move was definitely not executed well."

"Ugh, why did you print this one again?"

As soon as Shen Wancheng picked up a card, someone behind her said that she hadn't played it correctly.

Shen Wancheng paused, holding the cards, and turned to look at the uncle and aunt. The man was completely unaware that he had upset Shen Wancheng.

She earnestly advised, "Wancheng, based on my twenty years of experience playing cards, you shouldn't have played this card."

Shen Wancheng glanced at her and then looked away, before still playing the card.

The girl sitting opposite Shen Wancheng is named Gu Zhiyun, and she is the daughter of the uncle and aunt Shen Wancheng was talking to.

Gu Zhiyun laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother is a master at the mahjong table, why can't you listen to her?"

Shen Wancheng said calmly, "Playing cards is just for fun, so of course you should play however you want to have fun."

"Like" (or "bar")

No sooner had Shen Wancheng finished speaking than Gu Zhiyun called her card.

As she picked up the cards Shen Wancheng had played, she laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you obviously don't play mahjong much. How about we stop betting money and gamble on something else?"

Shen Wancheng asked, "What do you want to bet on?"

Gu Zhiyun swallowed hard, glanced at Shen Wancheng's mother behind her, and then said, "How about betting on a VIP spot at Dongfang Yasong?"

Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "You think this is smaller than the mahjong we play now that costs a thousand?"

"VIP spots? Isn't that just a matter of a word from you, sister-in-law?"

Shen Wancheng chuckled inexplicably.

Before she could respond, Wen Nan said, "Gu Zhiyun, if you want to gamble on a VIP spot at Dongfang Yasong, you have to offer something of corresponding value. What are you planning to gamble with?"

After Wen Nan finished speaking, she paused for a moment and added, "I became a VIP at Oriental Elegance, and I spent ten million Hong Kong dollars at the store."

Gu Zhiyun's mother immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Wen Nan, you've become a VIP at Wancheng Company, yet you still need to make purchases?"

Gu Zhiyun chimed in.

"Yes, if I were to start a company, I would definitely send a few sets of each product to my family first."

Shen Wancheng laughed and said, "Then I'll wait for you to open a company and give me a complete product package."

"Shouldn't my cousin's wife offer us, her female cousins, a token of appreciation first?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Xinyi finally lost her temper and said...

"Don't be so shameless as to involve me. My mom bought me a dress and a watch from Oriental Elegance."

Shen Wancheng also said to Cai Xinyi, "Last time you and your aunt came to the store without saying who you were, the staff didn't give you a discount. Remember to introduce yourself next time."

Cai Xinyi's mother, Gu Qingnian, chimed in at the opportune moment, "Okay, Auntie will definitely not be polite next time."

Gu Zhiyun immediately said, "I've remembered that too. Surely my sister-in-law wouldn't show favoritism?"

"Why not show favoritism? Everyone has their own relationships, and this is my store. I can give discounts to whoever I want."
