Gu Lin was very fast. He sent the invitation letter in the afternoon when he said that he was holding a ball. Gu Teng was in charge of instructing the servants to decorate the venue, while the others from the Gu family were in charge of other preparations.
No one declined this invitation. Anyone who could attend the ball in the Gu Mansion would bring glory to their family. How could they refuse it?
Naturally, the Rong family also received this invitation. Not only did Old Master Rong receive it, but even the branch family also received it. Rong Feng looked at the invitation in his hand and said in confusion, “The Gu family rarely holds such a banquet, and it’s a banquet that starts tomorrow. Why are they in such a hurry?”
Although he was confused, Rong Feng still wanted to go there. It would be beneficial for him to be on good terms with the Gu family. Additionally, it was said that Rong Xuan had a good relationship with the young miss of the Gu family. If he could gain the trust of the young masters of the Gu family, he would surpass Rong Xuan.
In the long run, if he could really kill Rong Xuan, he would need support when he became the head of the family. The Gu family was a very powerful ally.
After Rong Feng put down the invitation letter, he quickly called someone over to prepare the suit for him to attend tonight. It had to be elegant, dignified, and polite.
Chen Yue was like a fish in water in the Rong family. She had the ability to coax people to begin with. As long as she restrained her temper, she would be liked by many people.
The servants of the Rong family didn’t know what Miss Chen looked like. Chen Yue only said that she was Bai Hao’s cousin. Everyone in the Rong family knew how much Rong Feng liked Bai Hao, and took good care of Chen Yue.
Chen Yue took the opportunity to be on good terms with the servants of the Rong family and got many old stories. She knew at once that Rong Feng was attending the Gu family’s ball this time. She asked curiously, “Why is the Gu family holding the ball at this time?”
Mother Wang, who was in charge of ironing Rong Feng’s clothes, said, “That’s right. Mr. Rong’s clothes for banquets have to pass through my hands.
However, I’ve only heard of a few banquets in the Gu family over the years. Moreover, it’s not the young masters and young ladies of the Gu family getting married or celebrating their birthdays. They just said that they want to hold a ball. ”
Chen Yue couldn’t figure out the purpose of this ball; however, it was impossible for her to infiltrate the Gu family. the Gu family’s people were searching for her outside. As long as she showed up, she would definitely be caught. She couldn’t take this risk.
In the end, Chen Yue used money to bribe the person who followed Rong Feng to the banquet. Because she was only asking about the Gu family, that person accepted the money very readily. He was very willing to do such a thing that could earn extra money without betraying Rong Feng.
Rong Feng did not expect that the ball this time was actually to acknowledge family. The two elders of the Gu family introduced Cheng Xi to everyone and said that they wanted to acknowledge her as the goddaughter of the Gu family. They even took out some shares as a gift to her.
This was not an ordinary acknowledgement. The shares of the Gu family were very important. Even 1% represented a lot of wealth. The Gu family really treated Cheng Xi as their daughter.
Rong Feng was very clear about the matter between Cheng Xi and Devon, but he did not take it to heart at all. It had nothing to do with him if the daughter of a small family wanted a divorce. He even dared to take in Mao Feng, let alone
Devon.
But now, he felt that something was wrong. Was the Gu family using this matter to show Devon?
Rong Feng did not know what Devon had done to Lily. He only thought that Cheng Xi was in a hurry to get a divorce and let Devon know that she had the Gu family to back her to make him quickly agree to the divorce.
Rong Feng did not want Devon to do anything rash, so he did not tell him about this. However, with Chen Yue around, it was impossible to hide this matter.
She quickly received the news and shared it with Devon. She mocked, “Cheng Xi will be leaving the country with the child in two days. She said that Country Y will give you a verdict soon. She’s in a hurry to go back and contact her lawyer to divorce you. Of course, if you don’t go back, they will definitely think that you ran away. They won’t need you around to get a divorce.”
Devon flipped the table over angrily. “Lily’s life is in my hands, but she still wants to divorce me. Does she really not care about the child?”
“Her greatest wish in life is to leave you. She can have another child with someone else. If it were me, I would have done the same.” Chen Yue wanted to see everyone unhappy now, so she added fuel to the fire.
Devon was overwhelmed by these words. He could never accept Cheng Xi being with someone else. Even if she died, she would die with him. “I won’t let her leave,” Devon said through clenched teeth..
