When the Butler led the two of them in, he stood at the door and respectfully said, “master, Madam, eldest young master, and Young Madam have arrived. ”

When Mrs. Xiao, Mu Lan, heard this, she quickly stood up and her gaze fell on Gu Yanqing.

The unconcealable joy in her expression overflowed.

Mrs. Xiao waved at him. “come quickly, come and sit down. ”

The long table of the Xiao family was a long square table.

Mrs. Xiao Sat closest to the main seat. Gu Yanqing sat opposite Mrs. Xiao, and Song Beibei sat next to Gu Yanqing.

Xiao Peishan sat at the main seat. Song Beibei had seen the family tree of the Xiao Family in the textbooks, as well as Xiao Peishan’s photo.

He looked the same as in the photo. He was very dignified, and his aura was strong. He was imposing even when he was not angry.

Gu Yanqing called out, “Daddy. ”

Song Beibei also followed behind Gu Yanqing and called out, “Daddy. “.

Xiao Peishan responded with a smile on his face. He relaxed. “Good, good. You’ve worked hard all the way here. Hurry up and sit down. Today is a family banquet, so feel free to have a meal. You don’t have to make yourself at home. ”

Gu Yanqing called Mrs. Xiao ‘mom’ again.

Mrs. Xiao was very excited. She responded a few times and turned around to wipe her tears.

Xiao Peishan stroked Mrs. Xiao’s back with one hand. “Alright, Xiao Lan, don’t let the younger generation see this as a joke. ”

Mrs. Xiao turned around with a faint and elegant smile.

Song Beibei also followed Gu Yanqing and called out.

But Mrs. Xiao did not respond.

After three seconds, she barely responded, but her voice was indifferent. “sit down. ”

Song Beibei felt very awkward.

She didn’t know if she was overthinking, but Song Beibei could almost feel that her mother-in-law didn’t seem to like her very much.

Gu Yanqing pulled out a chair for Song Beibei like a gentleman and said softly, “sit down. ”

Song Beibei looked at him gratefully and sat down.

There were indeed very few people today. Song Beibei knew that in a few days, there would be a family gathering.

At that time, all of the Xiao family’s branches would come back.

In fact, Xiao Peishan’s branch had the thinnest children.

Xiao Peishan’s first wife had passed away, and he and his first wife had a daughter named Xiao Wei. However, it was said that after she remarried, the eldest daughter had disappeared.

It was said that the father and daughter were not on good terms and had run away from home. There was still no news of her.

Later, Xiao Peishan and Mu Lan gave birth to Gu Yanqing.

He was Xiao Peishan’s only son.

However, something like that happened in the early years.

Apart from that, Xiao Peishan also had a little daughter. She was also born to Mu Lan two years later. Her name was Xiao Mianjun.

She was also Gu Yanqing’s biological sister.

At that moment, Xiao Mianjun was not at the table.

Mrs. Xiao said to the nanny standing behind her, “where’s Mianjun? Why isn’t she coming down? Get someone to hurry her up. ”

The nanny replied softly, “eldest miss, no, second miss just drove out. She said she’s going to the company. ”

Mrs. Xiao was very displeased. “What is Mianjun doing this time? Why is she going to the company at this hour? Can the company go bankrupt without her? ”

The nanny was lectured to the point of being submissive.

Xiao Peishan said, “forget it. Let’s start the meal first. ”

Actually, the meal was peaceful at the beginning.

During the meal, Xiao Peishan asked her a few questions.

They were all about her father and the Pearl Group.

Apart from some simple questions, Gu Yanqing answered them on her behalf.

After Xiao Peishan understood the situation.. He said, “I’ve also heard of the Song Group’s Pearl Group. They’re the best in the media industry. I met your father once ten years ago, but we didn’t get to know each other very well. I didn’t expect that after so many years, we’d become in-laws. ”

Xiao Peishan continued, “the Pearl Group is good, but you can’t just ignore your family’s business. After you acknowledge your ancestors, it’s time to come back and take over the Peishan group. ”

Gu Yanqing had already said indifferently, “I’m not interested in the Peishan Group, and I won’t take over. I’ve already said this before. ”

Xiao Peishan’s expression immediately changed.

There was a displeasure from being resisted, and there was an indescribable seriousness and dignity on his face.

However, Gu Yanqing’s expression was still as calm as ever.

Xiao Peishan said, “I’ve already allowed you to stay outside for three years. The Xiao Family is such a big business. If you don’t inherit it, who will? Since you’re back, you have to shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders. This is what you should do as my son, Xiao Peishan’s son. ”

However, Gu Yanqing’s tone was still as calm as ever. “This is the condition that we agreed on. I only acknowledge the Xiao Family’s status and will never inherit the Xiao Family’s company. ”

Xiao Peishan’s expression became more and more serious, “condition? You want to negotiate with me if I let you go home? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was already very awkward.

Mrs. Xiao Hurriedly said, “alright, Peishan, the child has just returned. We need to take a long time to consider the matter of returning to the company. Why are you so angry? Is there anything that you can’t talk about properly? ”

Song Beibei sat at the side with her head buried in her soup, unable to say a word

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Song Beibei secretly glanced at Gu Yanqing and Xiao Peishan a few times.

She realized that the two of them really did look a little similar.

Xiao Peishan was obviously angry, but he didn’t show it.

He even asked her to eat more amiably.

Song Beibei felt that this “outwardly but outwardly” character was exactly the same as Gu Yanqing’s.

It was just that Gu Yanqing’s talent surpassed his talent.

At this moment, he was completely nonchalant. Everyone treated him as a young master, but he just had to act like a guest.

It was hard to get intimate with him.

When it was almost time to finish eating, Song Beibei gave the gifts she prepared to them.

She had prepared a top-grade tea for Xiao Peishan — Snow Mountain Plum.

Song Beibei said, “this tea tree grows on the peak of the Snow Mountain. This tea tastes like the fragrance of plum blossoms. I hope you will like it. ”

Xiao Peishan took a sniff and knew that this was a top-grade tea However, he was very happy. “This is produced in Yulong Mountain. This snow mountain plum is extremely rare. As far as I know, that tea tree has long been privately purchased and no longer circulates in the market. It’s a top-grade tea with a high price but no market. How do you have it? ”

Song Beibei said, “I have a classmate’s brother-in-law who also likes tea. This is his precious collection. ”

Xiao Peishan smiled. “Beibei, you’re too kind. ”

This was the first time Xiao Peishan had called Song Beibei by her name. Song Beibei’s heart was slightly shaken, but she revealed a trace of warmth.

Her father had passed away when she was very young.

Although she knew that her father had treated her extremely well when she was young.

But after all, her memories were too long ago.

Those things from her childhood seemed to have been sealed up by something and locked in a corner of her heart.

She had never uttered the word ‘father’ for more than ten years.

Now, as she gritted her teeth, although she was grinning and calling out, she had actually mustered up her courage in her heart.

However, Song Beibei was willing to do it.

Because this person was Gu Yanqing’s father.

It could be seen that Xiao peishan liked this gift very much.

Actually, Song Beibei had never thought that Xiao Peishan would like it so much.

She had only heard that Xiao Peishan liked tea.

She had unintentionally chatted with Lu Huanzi on the phone.

Lu Huanzi said, “that’s easy. My brother-in-law is also a true tea fan. He has a lot of good tea from home and abroad. I’ll get one for you. ”

Song Beibei didn’t have much hope at the time.

But in the end, Lu Huanzi really sent her a pot of tea and told her to just send it. She promised not to lose face.

Song Beibei didn’t expect Lu Huanzi’s brother-in-law to be so generous. He actually gave her a rare treasure.

Song Beibei decided that if there was a chance in the future, she must thank him properly.

Song Beibei took out the gift she had prepared for Mu Lan.

It was a small jade carving.

Song Beibei had also heard that Mu Lan liked jade.

This was much easier for Song Beibei to handle.

Because her father, Song Yanliang, was a jade collector when he was alive.

There were also many pieces of jade that her father treasured at home.

Actually, at that time, Song Beibei was too young.

She didn’t remember these things clearly.

Most of the things were told to him by Uncle Xiang when he told his father’s story.

Song Beibei would sometimes ask Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing also said that his father loved jade very much.

From the original Song Beibei to create a exquisite jade bath can be seen.

And according to Uncle Xiang,.

His father once went to great lengths to obtain an ancient warring states jade when he was abroad.

This piece of jade has some origins, is when the eight-nation coalition forces invaded China when exiled abroad.

It is not only an ancient jade, but also an uncut unpolished jade.

Uncle Xiang said that this piece of jade was later carved by her father.

This piece of jade was carved by her father
