Chapter 350: Chapter 350: It seemed like her world had turned upside down in an instant Chapter 350: Chapter 350: It seemed like her world had turned upside down in an instant No wonder the successor has not been announced over the years; they were waiting for their own bloodline after all.
Indeed, as the Gu Family’s successor, one naturally needs to have the Gu family’s blood.
After announcing this decision, Gu Qingfeng personally handed over the seal of Yubao Square to Gu Qiaoqiao.
And with that, he completely cut off some people’s hopes.
Ning Wanru’s expression remained unchanged, she even wore a smile, but her hand gripping the cane was clenched tightly.
Nobody knew how envious she felt inside.
All those years of humbleness had been in vain.
Gu Qiaoqiao had effortlessly received the seal of Yubao Square.
Which meant, from that moment on, she was the Gu Family’s successor, and she was entitled to control everything related to Yubao Square.
A cold sneer formed on Ning Wanru’s lips.
Whether it was Yubao Square or the Jade Carving Workshop, without jade, they were worth no more than a street stall selling deep-fried dough sticks.
A clever wife can’t cook without rice.
To control the Jade Mine was to choke the throats of Gu Qingfeng’s lineage.
Remembering the news she had received, she looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, who was smiling like the warm sun of the spring day, and cursed in her heart, “Smile, let’s see how many more days you can keep that grin…”
As for the Gu Cheng’s family, Gu Qingfeng never mentioned a word.
Now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no reason to kick Gu Cheng out of the family.
Fifty years, not fifty days.
If he truly did so without solid evidence, it would only position the entire Gu Tianfeng family as ungracious and unjust.
So, Gu Qingfeng maintained his silence.
The ceremony was over.
Today’s meal was the now-popular buffet.
It had only recently been introduced.
It was in vogue at the moment, and with the crowd being so large, a buffet was the most suitable arrangement.
Moreover, the Old Patriarch was willing to spend the money.
All the food at the buffet was made from the finest ingredients.
Having stepped down from the stage, before Gu Qianqian and the others could speak, Qin Yize stood in front of Gu Qiaoqiao, smiling, “Remember you mentioned you wanted to have a look behind the scenes? Let me take you to see Master Fong.”
If it were anything else, Gu Qiaoqiao might have declined.
But for some reason, Qin Yize always seemed to get the timing just right.
Rendering Gu Qiaoqiao unable to refuse.
She gladly followed Qin Yize and left the banquet hall.
The banquet continued.
Luo Fan, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, gently smiled at the girl by his side as he helped select food from the buffet for her.
Standing there with his handsome, jade-like presence, he became a scene unto himself.
Gu Yalan sat blankly beside a table on the side, while Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng were chatting with the wife of the elder who had just returned home.
All the boys who usually fawned over her were nowhere to be seen.
It seemed as if her world had turned upside down in an instant.
What on earth had happened?
Where had things gone wrong?
It appeared that the direction of the wind among the people had changed back in the hall.
Then, by the time they reached the banquet hall, that farce had completely ruined their reputation,
All thanks to the eldest sister.
If she couldn’t outsmart Gu Qiaoqiao, she shouldn’t have provoked her.
And that slut Alina–if it weren’t for her, the eldest sister would never have been saddled with the name of a thief.
Although not many in the banquet hall knew about the recent incident, since many were aware of what’s appropriate and wouldn’t spectate such a scene,
At most, only those nearby would know.
Still, it was an embarrassing incident in the hall, and Gu Qiaoqiao was also detestable–why couldn’t she just die?
And that girl Gu Qianqian, how dare she let Luo Fan pick food for her?
