Butler Fu replied, “It’s from the Mu family. Do you want to take a look?”
Gu Jinglian finally looked up and his expression changed somewhat.
“A wedding invitation?”
Butler Fu explained, “Yes! It’s the wedding banquet of Mu Yanchen and Song Zhengguo’s daughter.”
Gu Jinglian put down his book and snorted. “Why did they send me a wedding invitation?”
After pondering for a moment, Butler Fu suddenly said, “Ever since Mu Yazhe left the Mu family, the Mu family has suffered great losses! Although Mu Yanchen has become the head of the family, compared to when Mu Yazhe was still in power, he hasn’t done anything to revitalize the Mu family in any way! He’s only a figurehead. Everyone knows who’s the real head of the family now.”
Gu Jinglian raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. “Oh?”
Butler Fu continued, “Mu Linfeng is still the one holding up the Mu Group! Shengyu Group is now eyeing us covetously and advancing against us step by step. I think that the Mu family is trying to rope in the Gu family as their backing and the invitation could very well be a gesture of goodwill!”
Gu Jinglian said coldly, “I have no wish to see it!”
He had no interest to play along with the old fellow Mu Linfeng, even if the man came sucking up.
The Mu family and the Gu family were not sworn enemies, but neither were they on good terms.
There was no need for him to join in the fun.
Butler Fu nodded and was about to shut the door when Baby Chu’s voice suddenly came from outside. “Butler Fu!”
He appeared out of nowhere and saw the red card in Butler Fu’s hand. He asked curiously, “Butler Fu! What’s that you’re holding?!”
Butler Fu smiled and immediately said, “This is a wedding invitation!”
“Wow! Is someone getting married?”
Baby Chu was suddenly excited!
One time, back in Yancheng, when a colleague of Chu He’s got married, she had also brought home a wedding invitation and a box of wedding candies. She said that when someone got married, they would send out wedding invitations and candies to close friends. And if they went to the wedding banquet, he would even receive red packets!
Baby Chu glanced around and asked curiously, “Butler Fu, don’t you have wedding candies? Or did you hide them away?”
“Yes we do have them! I’ll bring them to you later. Look at how greedy you are!”
“Butler Fu, are you going to the wedding banquet? Would it… be convenient for you to take me?”
Of course Butler Fu knew what he was plotting and deliberately teased the boy, “You wish to attend the wedding to get red packets, don’t you?”
Baby Chu was bashful for a moment. His face was flushed as he nodded and emphasized, “In the past, when Mommy took me to wedding banquets, I always got red packets!”
Butler Fu could not help laughing aloud!
After all, the child was young. How could he have known that the Gu family would have had to spend a 7-figure sum to attend this wedding banquet!
And whatever the boy would have gotten back would be a 4-figure red packet at best. No matter which way one were to look at it, it was a losing deal!
When Gu Jinglian heard Baby Chu’s voice, he looked up and called out, “Chengze, come in.”
Baby Chu did not realize that Gu Jinglian was calling out to him. It was Butler Fu who alerted him, “Baby Chu, he’s calling out to you!”
Baby Chu stuck his head in. He saw Gu Jinglian looking at him and waving at him. He then realized that “Chengze” was his own name! The man was calling out to him!
He still had not gotten used to this new name!
He walked up to Gu Jinglian and stood next to the man, his little hand on the table as he stared at him.
Gu Jinglian asked him, “You wish to go?”
“Huh?”
“The wedding banquet,” the man reminded the child.
