"When I think of Gu Hongsheng's expression at that time, I still feel happy just thinking about it!"
Gu Shaoyang picked up his glass and smiled drunkenly. "Brother Zuo, I'll toast you again. Bottoms up!"
At noon, Gu Shaoyang invited Zuo Yi to eat at the Longfeng Restaurant in Beijing. After drinking a few cups of Maotai, Gu Shaoyang was full of smiles as he chatted with Zuo Yi.
Although they were uncle and nephew, Gu Shaoyang and Gu Hongsheng had always had a grudge against each other. His father was suppressed by Gu Hongsheng in the Gu family and had suffered a lot over the years.
However, Gu Hongsheng used to be one of the potential successors of the family head, so Gu Shaoyang could only swallow his anger.
Now that he saw Gu Hongsheng in big trouble, Gu Shaoyang's heart was naturally very happy.
With Zuo Yi's identity and status, Gu Hongsheng would have to stay in Sutans as long as he was in Da Xia.
Zuo Yi was less than 30 years old and was an Alpha. Gu Hongsheng was almost 40 years old. He would not be able to come back even if he died!
Zuo Yi smiled and drank a glass of white wine with Gu Shaoyang.
At this time, the waiter brought a large plate of dishes and placed it on the table. "Dragon and Phoenix are auspicious. Please try it."
Gu Shaoyang shook his head and said, "Brother Zuo, you must try this dish. It's the signature dish of the Longfeng Restaurant!"
On a large blue and white porcelain plate, a dragon and a phoenix carved from various delicious ingredients were sitting on top of the milky white soup. Their appearance was unique, and their fragrance assailed the nostrils, causing one to be unable to help but be tempted by it.
The Longfeng Restaurant was one of the most famous old restaurants in the capital. Its owner was the Xia Royal Family.
After the royal family abdicated, the Xia Royal Family donated most of the wealth of the royal family, such as the Imperial Plantation, the Imperial Shop, the antiques, and so on, in order to avoid being liquidated. They only kept a part of the property for the family to run.
The Longfeng Restaurant was one of them.
It was said that the chefs of the Longfeng Restaurant all came from the Imperial Kitchen, and it had been passed down from generation to generation. It retained the most authentic Imperial Cuisine, so it was deeply liked by the rich and powerful in the capital.
Of course, the expenses in the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant were extremely expensive. To the people of the capital, entertaining guests in the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant was an extremely prestigious matter. However, it was extremely difficult to book a seat. Under normal circumstances, the reservation would have to wait for half a year.
It was not easy for Gu Shaoyang to get a reserved seat here, but if the Gu Family stepped in, the situation would be different.
Zuo Yi nodded and scooped up a small bowl with a spoon to taste.
It was indeed incomparably delicious!
Buzz ~
Just as Gu Shaoyang put down his wine glass, his phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Gu Shaoyang, who was already half-drunk, picked up the phone without looking at the caller ID. "Hello, who is this?"
His voice was a little loud. This kid was a little arrogant.
However, before he could finish his sentence, his expression quickly changed. The drunkenness on his face turned into cold sweat, and his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.
"Okay, I'll tell Brother Zuo."
After putting down the phone, Gu Shaoyang had already sobered up a lot, but his expression was rather strange.
Zuo Yi asked, "What's wrong?"
If it had nothing to do with him, he would definitely not ask more. However, Gu Shaoyang had just mentioned him, so it was obviously related to him.
Gu Shaoyang hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully, "My aunt wants to see you."
Zuo Yi was puzzled. "Your aunt?"
The person who wanted to meet Zuo Yi was not Gu Shaoyang's aunt, but his cousin, Gu Hongsheng's sister, Gu Fangfei!
After a few words of explanation, Gu Shaoyang said with a complicated expression, "My aunt is not an ordinary person."
Gu Fangfei was a famous figure in the capital's circle. She was famous for her beauty and was known to be the most beautiful woman in the capital. At that time, her suitors could line up from the Da Xia Palace to the Great Wall of Wansheng Mountain!
However, what Gu Fangfei was most famous for was not her beauty, but her staunchness.
The Tao Family, one of the five great families in the capital, proposed marriage to the Gu Family. The eldest grandson of the Tao Family, Tao Yutang, took a fancy to Gu Fangfei and insisted on marrying her. However, Gu Fangfei disliked Tao Yutang very much, because the latter's character was very bad and his reputation was very bad.
Tao Yutang was a famous playboy in the capital at that time.
However, the Gu Family was very optimistic about this marriage, because the marriage between the two families could bring great benefits to the Gu Family. Therefore, Madam Gu made the decision to marry Gu Fangfei to Tao Yutang.
The children of the rich and powerful families looked very glamorous, but a girl like Gu Fangfei was also helpless. The family needed her to sacrifice, so she could not object.
Gu Fangfei was locked in the Clan Manor, waiting for the auspicious day to marry Tao Yutang.
To everyone's surprise, after Gu Fangfei failed to resist, she used the scissors to cut three deep scars on her left and right cheeks, disfiguring herself!
This matter caused a sensation in the capital, and the marriage between the two sides naturally fell through. The Gu Family lost all their face, and the Tao Family also suffered great pressure from public opinion — what era was it?
The initiator, Tao Yutang, was forced to go overseas and had not returned until now.
After being disfigured, Gu Fangfei became a taboo figure in the Gu Family. She opened a bar in Houhai and lived by herself. She had not stepped into the Gu Family's Clan Manor for ten years.
"All these years, Aunt Fangfei has not gotten married …"
Gu Shaoyang sighed and said, "Actually, I know several people who are willing to marry her."
Gu Fangfei had many pursuers, among which there was no lack of true men who were affectionate and righteous. Although she was disfigured, there were still people who liked her.
However, Gu Fangfei rejected all of them.
She was really a strange woman.
Zuo Yi touched his chin and asked, "Why did she look for me?"
"I also don't know …"
Gu Shaoyang's expression was a bit strange, "But she asked me to tell you that she knows the news of Sister Yunxi."
En?
Zuo Yi frowned, "How did she know?"
Zuo Yi didn't ask Gu Fangfei why she had news of Gu Yunxi, but how did she know to use this as a condition to meet him?
"I didn't tell her!"
Gu Shaoyang quickly explained, "I also don't know."
Previously, when Zuo Yi asked him to investigate Gu Yunxi, he asked him to do it secretly and not reveal the relationship between the two.
This time, Zuo Yi came to the capital to denounce him and directly knocked Gu Hongsheng down from the clouds. He also didn't use Gu Yunxi's matter as a reason.
Therefore, the Gu Family was still very puzzled. They didn't know how Gu Hongsheng offended Zuo Yi.
Then the question was, how did Gu Fangfei know the inside story?
Zuo Yi didn't doubt Gu Shaoyang's words because the latter had no reason to leak the secret.
Gu Shaoyang asked, "Brother Zuo, how should I reply to Aunt Fangfei?"
Zuo Yi thought for a while and said, "You tell her that I will go over tonight."
All the questions would naturally be answered when he met Gu Fangfei. There was no need to let his imagination run wild here.
"Okay."
Gu Shaoyang quickly nodded, "I will call aunt now."
