Chapter 114: The Three-Year Agreement?
Nightfall slowly descended, and Ye Feng drove the Porsche, carrying Gu Ran to the Gu Family Villa located in the Xicheng District of Tianhai City.
As soon as the car was parked, a young woman wearing a maid uniform walked over and said respectfully to Gu Ran, "Eldest Miss, please step into the banquet hall; the master and mistress are already waiting for you there!"
Seeing this woman, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise, secretly sighing in his heart, "Does this Gu Family have such good-looking maids too?"
"And this outfit of hers—this is just too easy to make one lose self-control!"
Following that, he turned his gaze toward Gu Ran, and the image of Gu Ran wearing a maid outfit couldn't help but surface in his mind, causing a ripple in his heart: "Hmm... if this girl wore this, the picture would simply be too beautiful!"
Just as he was dazed, Gu Ran had already followed the maid for several steps.
Seeing that Ye Feng had not followed in time, Gu Ran stopped, turned around, raised an eyebrow, and smiled slightly: "What? Taken a fancy to her? Do you want me to introduce you?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's body trembled, and he immediately felt a murderous aura rushing toward him.
He hurriedly followed, a fawning smile appearing on his face: "How could that be! I have Ran Baobao, and that is enough; I wouldn't even glance at anyone else!"
Seeing this, Gu Ran snorted coldly and ignored Ye Feng further.
Ye Feng laughed sheepishly and didn't dare to say anything more.
At a time like this, the best choice is to shut up!
Women, after all, have very small brain capacities; before long, she will definitely forget!
Subsequently, the two followed the maid into the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Ye Feng was shocked by the scene before him!
This banquet hall was decorated extremely luxuriously; crystal chandeliers, marble floors, precious calligraphy and paintings... every detail was frantically burning through Renminbi!
At this moment, quite a few people had already gathered in the banquet hall, and the elders and juniors of the Gu Family were chatting in twos and threes.
And Gu Ran's parents were sitting in the main seats, chatting happily with a stunningly beautiful man!
Seeing that stunningly beautiful man, Ye Feng frowned; isn't this man that university senior of Gu Ran's? Why would he be here?
On the other side, seeing Gu Ran bring Ye Feng in, Gu Father's expression immediately darkened.
He looked at the two with cold eyes, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction: "Gu Ran, this is a family banquet; why did you bring him over?"
Hearing this, Gu Ran only glanced at him indifferently and said, "As my boyfriend, he should naturally attend this family banquet. As for Li Liangchao next to you, why is he here?"
Gu Father did not acknowledge the second half of Gu Ran's sentence, but instead said angrily: "Without a marriage certificate, he doesn't count as a Gu Family son-in-law!"
"If he isn't a Gu Family son-in-law, he cannot attend the family banquet!"
Gu Ran sneered and retorted: "Is he a member of the Gu Family? Did you get a marriage certificate with him?"
Hearing this, Gu Tianhao was enraged by Gu Ran's attitude; he slammed the table: "Gu Ran! What kind of attitude is this? I am your father!"
Gu Ran sneered, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Father?"
"Do you still remember that you are my father?"
"From childhood to adulthood, have you ever cared about me?"
"Now you're putting on the airs of a father; how hypocritical!"
Li Liangchao, who was to the side, saw this and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Uncle, don't be angry. If Xiao Ran doesn't want me here, I'll just leave!"
As he spoke, he stood up pretending to leave, but was stopped by Gu Father: "Liangchao, you don't need to leave. Today you are an honored guest of our Gu Family; how could I let you leave?"
Seeing this scene, Gu Ran sneered, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "If you want to leave, hurry up; no one is sending you off!"
Once these words were spoken, the entire room suddenly went quiet.
Li Liangchao stood awkwardly in place, and for a moment, he actually didn't know how to choose!
At this time, Gu Mother hurriedly stood up to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, it's getting late. Everyone sit down; let's gather early and disperse early, don't hurt the harmony!"
Hearing Gu Mother say this, Li Liangchao finally sat down.
Gu Ran snorted coldly and also sat down with Ye Feng.
Before the family banquet officially began, Gu Father stood up, cleared his throat, and said with a hint of authority: "I gathered everyone here today mainly to announce one thing—the Gu Group will reach a strategic cooperation with the Kaiser Company!"
"This cooperation is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Gu Family!"
Hearing this, Gu Ran's expression changed instantly.
She stood up abruptly, her tone carrying a hint of questioning: "Dad, what do you mean by this?"
"I am the president of the Gu Group; why didn't I know about such a big matter?"
Gu Father looked at Gu Ran coldly, his tone carrying a hint of disdain: "Gu Ran, you are still young and lack experience. This cooperation concerns the future of the Gu Family; it should naturally be overseen by me."
Gu Ran's face turned pale instantly, her tone carrying a hint of anger: "Overseen by you? For so many years, have you ever managed the group? If it weren't for me, the Gu Clan would have gone bankrupt long ago!"
Hearing this, Gu Father's face turned livid instantly.
He looked at Gu Ran coldly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Gu Ran, don't flatter yourself; without you, the Gu Clan would still turn!"
"Besides, the Three-Year Agreement is almost up; why hasn't the Gu Group gone public yet?"
"If it cannot go public, the position of president should be given up!"
Hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Ran's eyes: "There is still one month left. As long as the time isn't up, don't you even think about touching the position of president!"
After speaking, she pulled Ye Feng's hand, turned around, and strode out of the banquet hall.
Gu Father was so angry at Gu Ran's attitude that his face turned blue, and he slammed the table: "Gu Ran! You stop right there!"
But Gu Ran didn't even look back and walked straight out of the villa.
Ye Feng followed behind Gu Ran, feeling the coldness of her palm, and felt a pang of heartache.
After walking out of the villa, Gu Ran's pace gradually slowed down.
Her shoulders trembled slightly; she was clearly suppressing her emotions.
Seeing this, Ye Feng gently squeezed her hand, his tone carrying a hint of tenderness: "Were you hurt?"
Gu Ran stopped, looked up at Ye Feng, and tears flashed in her eyes: "Ye Feng, am I very useless?"
Ye Feng shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of encouragement: "You have already done very well. The achievements the Gu Group has today are all to your credit!"
"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being born into such a family!"
Gu Ran took a deep breath and tried hard to calm her mood: "Since the Three-Year Agreement has not yet arrived, no one can think of taking away my position as CEO!"
