Chapter 235: They seem to be very afraid of you?

In the large courtyard, setting up the wedding banquet wasn’t so complicated.

It was much like what the older generation in the village would have done: friends of a similar age sitting together, boasting and sharing a meal.

Inside the house, Lin Yue and Gu Feng were kneeling in front of their parents, serving tea to Gu Dadong and Yu Ling as a sign of recognition.

"Dad, Mom, please have some tea," Lin Yue said as she served tea to her in-laws, smiling sweetly.

The two elders gave a friendly smile as they handed the bride a red envelope.

Yu Ling even reached out to stroke Lin Yue’s hair and said, "If you ever feel wronged following Little Feng, talk to Mom, okay? No matter what high-ranking official he is, in this house, I’m his mother, and I’ll take him to task with a stick if he doesn’t listen."

Pfft.

Jiang Xue and the others filming the scene for fun, including the groomsmen, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

It was indeed the truth.

Seeing even a big shot like Gu Feng could be firmly managed by his mom made them feel much more balanced inside.

After the tea-serving ceremony, Lin Yue proceeded to recognize relatives one after another: Yu Yue’s family, Gu Yuan’s family, and the direct descendants of those subordinates who had been through life and death with Gu Dadong. Usually, these people would have to call Gu Feng "Brother."

Anyone who came over to call her sister-in-law would receive a red envelope from Lin Yue with a smile.

Only after that did the bride and groom finally start to go out to the main hall to thank the guests.

Ye Shuting and Gu Yi were helping to carry drinks and gifts.

Since there were quite a few elders present and Lin Yue certainly couldn’t handle her liquor, and Gu Feng wasn’t advised to drink much due to his physical condition,

it was up to siblings like Ye Shuting and Gu Yi to drink on their behalf.

Furthermore, Ye Shuting was also responsible for carrying a large plate behind them, piled with exquisitely wrapped small boxes.

"Mr. Yan, thank you for taking the time to attend my wedding banquet," Gu Feng said with a smile, taking a small box from Ye Shuting’s plate and handing it to Elder Yan.

Old Yan casually opened it to take a look, and his eyes lit up.

He immediately beamed, "Little Feng, if the doctor says you shouldn’t drink, then don’t drink. Here’s to your and Little Yue’s happiness and to having children soon."

While he pretended to sip his drink, his other hand swiftly stuffed the box deep inside his trousers pocket, as if afraid to lose it inadvertently.

"A wedding wouldn’t be the same without drinking," said Hall Master Song at the same table, unaware of Lin Yue’s alcohol tolerance. "If Little Feng can’t drink, then the bride should have a little. It’s fine, it’s a wedding after all."

Lin Yue was about to take the drink Gu Yi had poured for her and clink glasses with Mr. Song when she saw Gu Feng hand him a box.

After glancing at the Elixir inside the box, Hall Master Song immediately switched gears with a chuckling, "This drink is too strong, not really to a girl’s taste. Little Yue, you just have some juice."

The other Hall Masters at the surrounding tables noticed the odd behavior of these two and curiously peeked into Ye Shuting’s plate.

Realizing what was in the boxes, they instantly grasped what was happening.

Before Gu Feng and Lin Yue could make their way over to their table, several Hall Masters had already stood up with their cups in hand.

Fearful they might miss out on the small boxes if they were finished before their turn came.

Contained in these boxes were the Life-Extending Pills that Gu Feng had prepared for the elders.

And only those senior officials at the level of Hall Master and above would recognize and have seen Life-Extending Pills!

Seeing how these elders couldn’t wait for the bride and groom to come over and thank them, rushing forward instead, Gu Feng’s contemporaries were immensely shocked.

"Has my brother Feng become so influential?"

"Truly, the foremost of his generation!"

"Once these uncles retire, Feng will inevitably be the one fully in control of the entire group!"

There was no denying that Gu Feng’s powerful aura positively influenced the young people around him.

They felt that within this vast conglomerate, a storm of youth was gaining momentum, belonging to them.

They quietly encouraged themselves to strive harder so that when Gu Feng ascended to power, there would be skilled and trustworthy people for him to rely on!

Having attended to the elders, Gu Feng led Lin Yue to the tables belonging to the T1 and T2 factions of the conglomerate.

Dealing with these people didn’t necessitate real drinking for Lin Yue and Gu Feng.

Gu Yi and Ye Shuting would pour Sprite or water into Lin Yue’s cup.

Because these individuals were the subordinates of various Hall Masters, managing sectors like commerce, the four major banks, oil resources, as well as tobacco, the tax bureau, automobile trade, and foreign exchange, among others.

They were all part of the subsidiary units under the Hall Masters.

Most of them were counting on Gu Feng’s "Pangu" department to grow and flourish overseas, which would allow them to enjoy the good life in its wake.

To these people, Gu Feng, the "Pangu" Sect Leader, was someone they fawned over with the utmost respect.

So, even though they knew the cups didn’t contain alcohol, they didn’t mind.

After toasting with this faction, it was pretty much dark outside by the evening.

Gu Feng glanced at Liao Fu, who had taken over Ye Wei’s investment firm, Bai Bo, and that group of people who were doing business outside the confines of the courtyard.

Strictly speaking, with his current status, he didn’t need to toast with these younger brothers.

But still, Gu Feng led Lin Yue to the corner of the main hall where the fringe descendants of various families from the courtyard were gathered. Upon seeing Gu Feng approach, they all set down their chopsticks and stood up in unison.

Lin Yue was quite surprised.

The way these young people looked at Gu Feng was filled with fervor and solemn respect.

It seemed to her that they revered him more than they did their own fathers.

During the toasts, they all bent over and bowed deeply.

This made Lin Yue very curious as she looked at Gu Feng and asked, "They seem to be really afraid of you?"

Gu Yi beside them just smiled without saying a word.

And Lin Yu also asked the same question while drinking with Ye Wei and others that night, "Why do you all seem to be so afraid of my brother-in-law?"

The nearly one hundred descendants of the courtyard in the private room all showed wry smiles.

Ye Wei lit a cigarette and gestured towards Zhang, the owner of the largest nightlife establishment in Beijing, "Why don’t you tell us, Mr. Zhang?"

Mr. Zhang let out a wry laugh, "Feng is now a Hall Master, can I even say anything about that?"

Nie Yun chuckled and gestured towards Wei Changqing, who had come to Beijing for a couple of days of leisure, "No worries, just say it. Let this guy realize just how lucky he was back when he crossed Feng."
