Chapter 263: Framing
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
This day was Old Master Gu’s 70th birthday.
The birthday banquet was booked at the best hotel in Hu City.
Qin Yiyi came over with Shang Jingheng.
Gu Yulin originally said that he was going to pick her up, but in the end, Shang Jingheng softly hummed and made him shrink back.
“Why should I pick her up? With Brother Shang around, there’s no need for me. Haha! Right, Brother Shang?”
Hearing those spineless words, Qin Yiyi was speechless.
Can’t you hold on a little longer?
Shang Jingheng could eat humans from time to time!
Gu Yulin: Brother Shang is scarier than a tiger, alright?!
However, Gu Yulin still deliberately waited in front of the hotel’s entrance.
From afar, he saw Shang Jingheng’s car driving over.
He greeted him warmly, “Brother Shang, Yiyi, hello. Haha, Yiyi is really beautiful today.”
He was going to open the car door himself.
But...
Qin Yiyi didn’t give him a chance at all. She opened the car door and walked out.
She saw Gu Yulin appear in front of her with a silly smile.
She raised her hand and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.
“Gu Yulin, you are full of bad luck. Please stay away from us.”
Gu Yulin grunted and opened his mouth to the size of an egg, “Yiyi, I...”
“Also, you’d better stay away from Grandpa Gu later. Don’t get too close to him.”
He should be careful not to get his bad luck on Grandpa Gu.
Beside her, Shang Jingheng threw the car keys to the security guard. He looked up at Gu Yulin and took two steps forward to stand between the two of them.
“Yulin, you’re full of bad luck. Don’t get too close to Yiyi.”
Gu Yulin,”...” He couldn’t live anymore!
The two of them took a few steps forward. Shang Jingheng glanced at Qin Yiyi.
“You can’t bear it?”
Qin Yiyi smiled and retracted her hand with a calm expression.
“He’s still quite filial.”
If anything happened to this kid today, the old man would probably suffer.
Shang Jingheng glanced at her. “Don’t help others look at these things in the future.”
Qin Yiyi nodded obediently. “Okay.”
The problem was that she really didn’t look at him specifically just now.
When she looked up, she saw that silly Gu Yulin’s face was so thick that it seemed like it was about to condense into a physical form. It made her eyes hurt, okay?
She walked forward until she entered the center of the banquet hall.
Although Old Master Gu was joking with his old friends, he had been paying attention to the surroundings.
At this moment, he looked up and saw a man and a woman walking towards him.
The wrinkles on his face deepened as he smiled!
The people around him were not paying attention and were still laughing. “Brother, did you think of something good? Why are you smiling so much?”
“Brother, you can’t hide it. If you have any profitable business, you have to bring us along.”
The few old brothers had been friends since they were young.
After all these years of development, their relationship was quite good.
At this moment, they were all laughing with Old Master Gu. “Big Brother, I really envy you. Look at how filial this guy’s grandson is.”
Old Master Gu ignored them and stood up with a beaming smile.
“Qin family’s girl, Shang boy, you two are here?”
“Quickly come over and sit with me.”
“Hello, Grandpa Gu.”
“Grandpa Gu.”
Qin Yiyi greeted them with a smile on her face. She helped Old Master Gu and then took turns to greet them.
Shang Jingheng only nodded at the others.
However, no one who knew his identity had any objections.
This made Qin Yiyi look at them. She couldn’t help but curse in her heart.
Look, this was the benefit of having status and power!
“Little Yiyi must be tired. Sit beside Grandpa.”
Grandpa Gu really liked this child Qin Yiyi. She looked good everywhere.
Unfortunately, that stupid kid of his didn’t have such luck!
This stupid kid is lucky!
He turned around and glared at Shang Jingheng with a look of disdain.
“Why did you come with Little Yiyi?”
Didn’t he have official business? He stuck to Yiyi all day long!
Was he not afraid of being despised by her?!
Shang Jingheng raised his eyebrows in a somewhat smug manner, his tone carrying a smile.
“I had no choice. There was a fool who called to pick up Yiyi, but before he could finish his words, he said that he suddenly remembered that there was something that he had to do and could not pick her up.”
He spread his hands at Old Master Gu.
“Look, there was no one picking up Yiyi. Don’t I have to take time out of my busy schedule to send her to you safely?”
Old Master Gu was speechless.
So much so that when Gu Yulin called for the guests to come over.
Old Master Gu looked at him with a face full of disdain and raised his nose.
“If you don’t help me, why are you always getting tired of being by my side? Why are you calling me Grandpa? How old are you? Do you still need me, an old man, to follow you around all the time?”
“You can’t do anything without me, right?”
Gu Yulin,”...”
As expected, what he said was correct. He had brought his own bad luck today!
Then, he looked at Old Master Gu who was smiling and coaxing Qin Yiyi.
He... grabbed the wine glass on the table and gulped it down.
There was no comparison, so there was no harm.
He felt stifled!
Forget it, forget it. He just didn’t want to see it!
He got up and was about to go help when a slender young man with feminine features walked over with a light smile.
“Second Brother, I thought you would come later than me. I didn’t expect you to come so early.”
Gu Yulin narrowed his eyes. “What about you, Fifth Brother? You don’t value grandfather’s birthday banquet, so you want everyone to follow you and not value it?”
“Fifth Brother, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but it’s not right for you to think this way. If you’re UNFILIAL, you’re UNFILIAL. How can you expect others to be unfilial to grandfather?”
His words made the other party’s face turn black. He quickly glanced at Old Master Gu who was not far away.
Fortunately, Old Master Gu did not seem to be looking in his direction at all.
He probably did not notice their words just now...
He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He snorted at Gu Yulin, and his tone was a little strange.
“Second Brother’s words are really right. After all, Second Brother has already done his best to be filial to grandfather, hasn’t he?”
Why did these words sound so wrong?
However, someone was calling Gu Yulin over from the side. He glared at the person beside him.
“Today is grandfather’s birthday banquet. If you have anything to say, say it another day. Otherwise, I will never let you off.”
Leaving behind these words, Gu Yulin hurriedly left. He did not realize that a hint of ridicule flashed in the eyes of his cousin behind him.
Another day?
I’m afraid... that won’t do.
The birthday banquet was very lively.
Everyone in turn said their congratulations and gave birthday gifts.
Then, it was the birthday star, Old Master Gu, who said a few simple words.
Finally, Old Master Gu directly started the banquet.
There were quite a number of people from the Gu family, but Qin Yiyi could see that each of them had their own thoughts.
Just for an extra portion of Old Master Gu’s will, in order to fight for the right to inherit the Gu family...
Her gaze fell on the table where the descendants of the Gu family were seated.
She smiled. She was afraid that today would not be so peaceful.
Her eyes flashed, and she turned her head to pass a pill to Old Master Gu.
“Grandpa Gu, sober up.”
Old Master Gu glanced at her, smiled, took it, and swallowed it.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Yiyi,”...” She and old master Gu were getting closer and closer. Wasn’t it all for this complete trust?
After three rounds of drinking.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside the door, and the faint sound of a woman crying could be heard.
Qin Yiyi sighed in her heart and looked at the silly-looking Gu Yulin who was about to speak.
A voice had already sounded,
“There’s someone outside looking for Second Brother. I think she said that there’s something wrong with some child. Second Brother, you’re really good. You actually solved a major issue in life without making a sound.”
Pa!
The teacup in Gu Yu Lin’s hand dropped onto the table.
Then, he flew into a rage and slammed the table as he stood up. “F*ck, which one of you framed me?”
If he knew, he would definitely skin that bastard alive!
