After agreeing to marry the villain

Chapter 27 Meeting the Parents at the Dinner Party

The host of this dinner is not the Gu family, but a certain tea business family in Shanghai.

The old man of this family is surnamed Hua, and he has been friends with Gu Congzhou's grandfather Tao Shiqi for many years.

Mrs. Hua celebrated her 70th birthday, and the younger generation in the family held a birthday dinner for him, and specially sent an invitation letter to grandpa, inviting him and his family to attend.

Tao Shiqi has been sick for many years and rarely goes out. The affairs of the Tao family are left to his nephew Tao Weidong. This time, for the sake of his old friend, he decided to come out of the hospital and make this trip.

Tao Weidong will follow.

But Gu Congzhou is the only direct descendant of the Tao family, so of course he has to go together.

When Gu Congzhou received the invitation letter, he was having lunch in the restaurant.

Chi Ye had already eaten, and squatted under the window of the restaurant alone to pet the cat.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is getting cooler, the autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and the sunshine at noon is becoming more and more precious. Even Yi Yi, who usually likes to hide in the corner of the garden to sleep, often runs out to bask in the sun.

Chi Ye's technique seemed superb, one by one was rolled very comfortably, lying on all fours, with one foot raised straight up, half-closed his eyes comfortably.

This overly comfortable scene made Chi Ye yawn.

Lazy everywhere.

The servants in the kitchen also leaned lazily against the door frame and chatted with Butler Fang in low voices.

Everywhere reveals a lazy autumn atmosphere.

After receiving the marriage certificate, Chi Ye is like a successful employee who has passed the probationary period, and the way of getting along with Gu Congzhou, the big boss, has become much easier.

Usually they can spend a lot of time quietly and comfortably without interfering with each other. For example, Gu Congzhou is working upstairs, Chi Ye is practicing piano downstairs, Gu Congzhou is having a conference call, Chi Ye is napping on the sofa, Gu Congzhou is eating, Chi Ye Ye is licking cats...

Gu Congzhou received the invitation letter, glanced at it, and threw it aside, looking very disinterested.

But after a while, as if remembering something, he glanced at Chi Ye and said leisurely, "Are you going with me?"

"Ah?" Chi Ye yawned halfway, looking at Gu Congzhou blankly.

"Take you to meet my grandfather."

Gu Congzhou didn't know what he thought of again, and a faint and mocking smile crossed the corner of his mouth, "Let him see, I'm married too."

Chi Ye rubbed the hands on the top of his head, and suddenly woke up.

Going to see Gu Congzhou's grandfather now?

Chi Ye probably knew a thing or two about the relationship between Gu Congzhou and his grandfather Tao Shiqi.

More than [-] years ago, the Tao family encountered financial problems and tried many ways, but to no avail.

Seeing that the Tao family's family business was likely to be destroyed, Tao Shiqi had no choice but to find a way to marry the Gu family to alleviate the financial problem.

At that time, Gu Congzhou's uncle, Gu Chuandong, was only in his teens, and the only person he could marry was Gu Congzhou's father.

But Gu Congzhou's father has mental illness, and it will be inherited.

But before they got married, the Gu family kept this matter a secret.

Although the Tao family asked for the marriage, the thin camel is bigger than the horse. The Tao family is powerful and has been operating in Shencheng for many years, with a deep foundation.

At that time, although the Gu family was rich, they were just local investment companies with a good scale, and they were upstarts.

The Gu family also wanted to make up this marriage, so they kept the most important thing from them.

It wasn't until Gu Congzhou's mother Tao Mengjia became pregnant after she got married that she couldn't hide the matter.

But at that time, the deal was done. Gu Congzhou was already seven months old, and the induction of labor would do great harm to Tao Mengjia's body.

The only option is to have a child.

Everyone expects their children to be normal.It's a pity that things backfired; after Gu Congzhou was born, in the first few years, he really behaved like a normal child.

But as Gu Congzhou grew up, he became more and more like his father-long silence, excessive extremes, and obvious manic depression.

At the same time, Gu Congzhou's father's illness became more and more serious, and he showed serious violent tendencies.

In such an environment, Tao Mengjia's body and will were quickly worn down, and within a few years, due to postpartum depression, she committed suicide in her bedroom.

Tao Shiqi only had this one daughter, and she was an old woman, so she loved Tao Mengjia in every possible way.Letting his daughter marry already made him feel guilty, and the Gu family's concealment of his illness made him even more angry.

He hated the Gu family, and he didn't like this grandson either.

Chi Ye knew about these things.

Therefore, as soon as Gu Congzhou mentioned that he was going to see his grandfather, Chi Ye had a premonition that this was a very important job, which could be worth at least 1 million out of the 500 million salary.

Chi Ye rubbed Yi Yi absent-mindedly, "I, what should I do to prepare?"

"No. Just be there."

Although Gu Congzhou said so, after Chi Ye got the news, he immediately started to do his homework. He learned about the business scope and history of the Hua family, his grandfather's life and hobbies, and other elders who were present.

The main business of the Hua family is tea, which is very large and almost monopolizes all the tea business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The best batches of Longjing, Maofeng, and Jiuqu Hongmei entered the Hua family’s supply chain as soon as they were picked. .

Chi Ye's father loved to drink tea. At that time, the Chi family was rich, and there were good teas from all over the country. Chi Ye drank a lot of them.

He is no stranger to tea, and he can get twice the result with half the effort if he does his homework.

But the only unfortunate thing is that Mrs. Hua's birthday happened to be the rehearsal day for the first performance of "Music Boy".

The public performance is different from the initial stage performance. It is no longer an individual performance, but a group performance. 5 people are in a group, and 31 people are divided into 6 teams for competition.

In the same group as Chi Ye, there are two singers and two dancers. We have practiced together for almost half a month and get along very well.Chi Ye was the youngest among the five, and the other four took care of him like brothers.

Especially a contestant who is good at dancing modern dance, he extended an olive branch to Ike Ye when he first staged and said that he wanted to cooperate, and he took special care of him in the show.

So it's not easy for Chi Ye to ask for leave and leave early. After all, it affects everyone's results, the results of the five people's joint training.

Under the balance of the two, Chi Ye had to discuss with the boss. After his rehearsal, he would not go home to meet Gu Congzhou. He went directly to the dinner party, and the two met again.

Gu Congzhou's concern for the dinner was average, and he only said, "Tell me when you're almost ready, and I'll set off again. It doesn't matter if you go early."

The boss can be careless, but Chi Ye worked very hard. As soon as the rehearsal was over, he took off his stage makeup, bid farewell to his teammates, and rushed to the dinner party.

As a result, he arrived, but Gu Congzhou hadn't arrived yet.

Gu Congzhou had an impromptu meeting, but it was not finished, so there was going to be a delay.

Chi Ye was not in a hurry. If Gu Congzhou came and he hadn't arrived yet, he would be ashamed to ask the boss to wait. If the employees waited for the boss, then they should.

He took a breath, and simply sat down on a sofa in the leisure area at the door, and waited with peace of mind, while watching the tea ceremony performance next to him.

The dinner party was held in a luxurious old-fashioned hotel, and the interior and exterior were all decorated with tea - a tea ceremony performance was set up at the entrance, and there were various teas for guests to taste.

The Hua family is a businessman and they know a lot of people. Before the birthday banquet started, there was an endless stream of guests coming from the door. All of them were dressed luxuriously. It was not like participating in the birthday banquet, but rather like walking on the red carpet.

Although the clothes on Chi Ye's body were not famous brands, he was good-looking, and the costumes on his body were carefully designed by a stylist according to his image, which showed his intriguing youthful spirit, even if he was just sitting there , People always look at him, even the women performing the tea ceremony specially pour tea and invite him to taste it.

Chi Ye was disrespectful and curious, so he simply sat next to the performance area and sipped tea, planning to drink until Gu Congzhou came, and then go in with Gu Congzhou.

Chi Ye took a sip and asked, "Is this Duyun Maojian?"

The woman smiled, "Yes. How do you feel when you drink it?"

While observing the color of the tea, Chi Ye thought about it and said, "The tea leaves are even, tender and fresh green, with a rich and high aroma. The tea soup is clear to the bottom, smooth and mellow in the mouth, sweet and long-lasting. My sister is very skilled at making tea."

The woman looked at Chi Ye's age, and saw that Chi Ye was young, but generous, and knew a lot about tea, and asked curiously, "Which family are you from?"

At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of laughter from behind, "Chi Ye? Isn't this Chi Ye? Long time no see."

"Which family's young master? Ha, the fake young master is right."

"Hey, Chi Ye, I didn't expect to see you here. What are you doing here? Who brought you here?"
