Lu Beichen's face darkened. He immediately said to Gu Jingze, "Gu Jingze, you did it on purpose!"
Gu Jingze ate and said lightly, "We'll talk about it in detail after you've coaxed them."
"…" Lu Beichen yelled, "Gu Jingze, are you going to cheat your brother-in-law just for a project?"
Gu Jingze raised his head indifferently. "Without me, you wouldn't have survived a month anyway."
Gu Jingyan couldn't be bothered with Lu Beichen anymore. She glared at him and said with a straight face, "Let's talk when we get back!"
"Sigh, I …"
At this moment, Gu Jingyan saw Xue Mengqi, who was about to sit down.
She immediately said, "Hey, this is the main table. You're a distant relative, why are you sitting here?"
Xue Mengqi stared blankly for a moment, and her complexion became somewhat unsightly.
"I … I'm just here. Everyone called me over."
When the relatives saw this, they hurriedly advised, "Meng Qi has been busy for so many days. This banquet …"
Gu Jingyan frowned and said, "Well, she's the one who wants to do it. If it's not her, it's not like no one can do it. If you think it's too hard, you don't have to do it."
The faces of the clan members immediately turned ugly.
However, there was no way to refute these words.
Moreover, Gu Jingyan was the legitimate daughter of the Gu Family. Who would dare to offend her?
After all, Lin Che was Gu Jingze's daughter-in-law. Who knew what would happen in the future? Gu Jingze might not like her for a while. However, Gu Jingyan was different. No matter what happened, she would always be the eldest daughter of the Gu Family.
Xue Mengqi usually didn't have much interaction with this young lady, and they weren't familiar with each other. At this moment, when she looked at Gu Jingyan, it seemed that she wasn't very friendly to her.
However, Xue Mengqi did not dare to go against her. Her eyes darted around and she could only say weakly, "Yes, I was just giving it a try. I didn't do well. Please forgive me."
The clan members all pitied Xue Mengqi.
Seriously, after working so hard for so long, I still didn't get any benefits, and I'm actually being despised like this.
As soon as Xue Mengqi showed her weakness, the people next to her all called her over.
The person at the next table immediately let Xue Mengqi sit down, silently supporting her.
Xue Mengqi sat down obediently. Gu Jingyan turned around and looked at her. At this moment, she was still angry, so she didn't hesitate to vent her anger.
"Little sister-in-law, what's going on now? Why haven't you taken over the position of Mistress?"
The moment he said that, the people around him all turned to look at him.
Xue Mengqi's ears perked up.
Lin Che said, "I'm still pregnant, so I don't have time to think too much about it."
At the side, one of the clan members looked at her. What did she mean? Did she mean that she was going to inherit the throne sooner or later? They hadn't agreed to it yet.
He stood up and said, "Jing Yan, the position of Matriarch is also very important. You can't just casually take over the position. You can't just casually take over the position."
Gu Jingyan laughed and turned around. "Are you saying that whoever you want to take over the position will be the successor?"
"I …"
Gu Jingyan said, "Isn't that what you're trying to say now? If I say something and you immediately refuse, you're allowed to say who's going to be the successor and I'm not allowed to say it?"
"I didn't mean that. Fourth Miss, you can't slander me like that."
Seeing this, Xue Ningshan stood up from behind and said, "Fourth Miss, we're thinking for the sake of the Gu Clan. After all, the matter of the Matriarch concerns the reputation of the entire Gu Clan for many years to come. Naturally, everyone is very anxious, and it concerns everyone. We feel that it's very important to choose a Matriarch that everyone will submit to."
Gu Jingyan turned around and said, "Old Xue, then choosing my little sister-in-law is the right choice. She's the Head's wife, and her son is the future successor. Naturally, she's the most suitable candidate to be the Matriarch."
Xue Ningshan said, "This Mistress also needs to manage things. The internal affairs of our family are very trivial. Of course, we can't just find a random person to manage it. We also need to find someone who has experience and ability. Someone who can be trusted by others should be able to manage it."
Gu Jingyan said, "Then my little sister-in-law is even more suitable. She has experience in running a company, and has the ability to manage it well. Moreover, on one hand, she's the daughter-in-law of the Gu Clan, and on the other hand, she's a descendant of the Lu Clan. She's also a big star outside. Isn't that enough of a reputation?"
Xue Ningshan's expression changed.
Gu Jingyan turned around and said, "Am I right, Old Xue?"
When everyone saw this, they all fell silent.
Because they didn't want to quarrel with her, but they were determined not to agree.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyan from the side. He was very grateful that she was willing to stand on his side at this moment.
Although it was just a few words, Gu Jingyan had a position in the Gu Clan. Secondly, she had her own company and her own assets. Hence, she had the confidence to speak and didn't need to care about other people's opinions.
Hence, Gu Jingyan didn't need to think too much when she spoke. Anyway, no matter what she said, no one would dare to do anything to her.
Xue Ningshan gritted his teeth and looked at her. He said directly, "Fourth Miss, you're already married. You don't have to meddle in the Matriarch's affairs, do you?"
When Gu Jingyan heard this, she turned around instantly and said, "I'm married? So you're saying that I'm married and I'm like water that's been spilled. Even if I stay here now, I don't have the right, right? "
Xue Ningshan didn't mean that. However, she was too good at twisting other people's words.
At this moment, Xue Mengqi stood up and silently grabbed Xue Ningshan's arm. She looked very helpless, as if she really didn't want to see this scene.
"Forget it, Dad. Don't say that to Fourth Miss. No matter what, Fourth Miss has the right to stay here. After all, no matter where Fourth Miss marries, she still has the Gu Clan's blood flowing in her body. Bloodline speaks for itself."
When someone heard this, they felt even more pity for Xue Mengqi. Even if Gu Jingyan was the Fourth Miss, she couldn't bully others like this.
"Fourth Miss, everyone knows that you have the Gu Clan's blood flowing in your body. So it doesn't matter what you say. However, there are some people who don't have the Gu Clan's blood flowing in their body. Mengqi is a distant relative of our Gu Clan, but there are some people who are definitely outsiders. It's fine if they have the ability, but if they don't, why should we trust them?"
Gu Jingyan looked at the person who spoke. "Is a distant relative closer, or is the Gu Clan's future successor's mother closer? A distant relative could easily run away with the Gu Clan's money, but there's no need for sister-in-law to do so. Because no matter what she does or doesn't do, the one who will inherit the Gu Clan in the future will still be her son."
"You …"
"That's enough." Xue Mengqi looked at Gu Jingyan. "My father's words aren't good, but it's all because he discovered a little problem with Lin Che. That's why he was so agitated."
A little problem?
