Chapter 335 - 336: Awesome! What my aunt said was really great!
Grandma Chen finished her coffee, gently putting it down.Then she turned to Gu Yuanshan and sneered, "The mess you’ve created, and now you don’t know how to fix it. Don’t you feel humiliated?"
Gu Yuanshan lowered his head.
Grandma Chen continued, "Don’t you understand the current situation? It’s absolutely impossible to invite the Bo Family now. You’ve offended them. When they say they won’t come, their word is final and won’t be changed. Otherwise, what’s the difference between that and farting?"
Gu Yuanshan repeatedly agreed.
Gu Ning chimed in with flattery from the sidelines, "Auntie certainly has foresight! Truly worthy of our Gu family."
Grandma Chen glanced at her, then made her main point. "This isn’t about inviting the three great families to the Gu family’s feast anymore. Now, we need to get an invitation to the Bo Family’s banquet!"
Gu Yuanshan was shocked. Tang Yuan couldn’t accept this. Gu Ning also rose slightly.
Then, Gu Yuanshan voiced his thoughts, "Auntie, where is this coming from? Isn’t this undermining our own prestige?"
Grandma Chen took a sip of her tea. "You must think I’m saying this because I favor Anxi. Heh. I just can’t bear to see the Gu family become a laughingstock. Think about it: none of the three great families are coming to your event, and the other two are going to the Bo Family’s banquet instead. Isn’t it blindingly obvious they’re taking sides?"
Gu Yuanshan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. "But we don’t need to beg them!"
"If you don’t beg, do you think they’ll deliver an invitation to your door? Gu Yuanshan, do you think you have that kind of standing, or does your ’good wife’ have that thick a skin?" Grandma Chen was relentless.
Gu Yuanshan was shaken for a long time before he managed to say, "This is too... far too..."
Just then, Gu Ning spoke up, "Brother, the Bo Family has already sent invitations to the other two families. Our Gu family hasn’t received any."
"Not a single one?" Gu Yuanshan was aghast.
He had initially wanted to subtly demonstrate his strength, but the Bo Family had been unyielding, directly causing him to lose face. What could he do now?
Gu Ning idly played with her fingernails. "Well, I have one."
Tang Yuan slowly spoke, "Then let Aunt Ning represent the Gu family."hat seven or eight people could swim in without a problem."
Grandma Chen stared at her. "That’s too extravagant!"
Gu Ning instantly offered to have it all taken away...
Then Grandma Chen whispered, "But... I like it."
Gu Ning froze. Grandma Chen then added, "I also want hand-ground coffee."
After they left, Tang Yuan looked at Gu Yuanshan. "Yuanshan, is the situation really this dire?"
She didn’t quite believe it.
Gu Yuanshan sighed. "Every word Aunt Gu Rong said is true. If everyone attends the Bo Family’s event that day, and our Gu family doesn’t even have the right to be there, then the Gu family’s standing in Beicheng will truly be precarious."
Shen Congwen chimed in, "Exactly. The Bo Family is hosting a banquet because someone new has joined them. This is indeed more pressing than our routine feast. If we forgo our event and attend theirs instead, it will make us appear magnanimous and gracious."
"Congwen is right." Gu Yuanshan toyed with his thumb ring, making a decision. "Have the car prepared. I’ll go to the Bo Family personally."
He looked at Tang Yuan again. "Go and get ready quickly. This is something the two of us absolutely must handle."
Tang Yuan lowered her gaze and, after a long pause, whispered, "I’ll go change my clothes."
She went upstairs. Gu Mingzhu was on the second floor; seeing Tang Yuan’s expression, she called out softly, "Mom."
"Mom’s fine," Tang Yuan patted her hand. "Just focus on managing the film project. You don’t need to concern yourself with adult matters."
