Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 523: Worth It or Not? 8

Today’s banquet is definitely not just a Gu Family family gathering because tonight’s guests are far more numerous than one could imagine.

Xia Yinian and Gu Lingqian had just come downstairs, only to unexpectedly encounter many rarely seen individuals.

The Old Master’s sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters were all present.

"Yanran, when did you get back?" Sitting nearby was a girl whom Xia Yinian was not very familiar with.

Hearing Gu Lingqian greeting her, Xia Yinian suddenly remembered; it was Gu Yanran, Gu Lingqian’s sister, same father but different mothers.

The last time Gu Lingqian was critically ill, Gu Yanran had also returned from abroad, but at that time, Xia Yinian was solely focused on Gu Lingqian’s illness and had no interest in paying attention to anyone else.

Moreover, the Gu Family were simply too many for her to remember them all.

She had only met Gu Yanran once or twice and heard her name once or twice, but the person and the name hadn’t really clicked.

Now that Gu Lingqian had called out to her, she remembered.

Gu Yanran immediately stood up and approached Gu Lingqian: "Brother."

Then looking at Xia Yinian, she smiled faintly: "Nian Nian."

Gu Yanran was actually several years older than Xia Yinian; she was a senior in college this year, just like Gu Feimo.

However, she had been abroad for a while, attending conferences, and had been away for half a year, so Xia Yinian hadn’t had much chance to see her since joining the Gu Family.

Because of Xia Yinian’s relationship with Gu Lingqian, Gu Yanran held a respectful attitude towards Xia Yinian, the younger girl, like someone would towards a sister-in-law.

Xia Yinian nodded at her with a smile.

Then Gu Yanran said to Gu Lingqian: "I received the notice yesterday that I had to hurry back tonight for the banquet, so..." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She spread her hands and shrugged: "Brother, you know, I can disobey Grandpa’s orders, but I absolutely must obey Grandma’s, or I’ll be kicked out of the family."

"Grandma isn’t so cruel; you’re making things up," Gu Lingqian glanced at her.

But Gu Yanran laughed: "Of course, Grandma wouldn’t, but Grandpa would!"

"Whoever makes Grandma unhappy, Grandpa would chop with a knife. Who dares not to listen to Grandma?"

Gu Lingqian merely smiled, and Xia Yinian also smiled faintly.

The relationship between these siblings seemed really good; even though they were not born from the same mother, they got along very harmoniously.

Compared to Gu Ziqi and the others, the harmony was indeed much greater.

"By the way, Brother, what’s the significance of tonight’s banquet? Why are there so many people? The whole Gu Family is here."

Gu Yanran had just come back and had just changed her clothes, unable to catch up on any news.

Gu Lingqian could only shrug: "I don’t know either, I haven’t received any notification."

"Really? Even you don’t know?" Gu Yanran looked puzzled, seemingly in disbelief.

"Are you not at home every day? Yet you don’t know?"

"Really, I don’t know. I only know that tonight’s banquet is very important, and everyone needs to dress up grandly, even our clothes and jewelry should be grand."

"Yeah, looking at your outfits, people who don’t know any better might think you guys are getting engaged tonight!"

Just as Gu Yanran was about to tease, someone from the side was already calling for her.

"Brother, I’ll go first; we’ll talk later." Gu Yanran waved at him and looked at Xia Yinian, also waving her hand.

"Future sister-in-law, we’ll have a good chat later. I’ll go deal with those gaudy folks, hehe!"

With a wave of her hand, she turned and left.
