Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xi massaged for half an hour. When it ended, her hands were sore. She shook her hands and asked in a customary manner, “Do you feel anything?”

Gu Shen shook his head. It was just a massage. How could it cure his leg?

Yan Xi was not disappointed. “Next time, there will be. I’ll go back first.”

Gu Shen nodded. “Good night.”

Yan Xi did not return to her room. Instead, she went straight to the cloakroom to choose the clothes for tomorrow’s family banquet.

Since it was a family banquet, she could not dress casually or overdress.

She picked for a long time before finding three satisfactory long dresses.

Yan Xi could not make up her mind, so she carried them to find Gu Shen.

Gu Shen didn’t sleep either. When he saw her come back, he looked up and asked, “What are you doing here?”

“Help me choose the dress.” Yan Xi threw the three dresses on the bed arrogantly. “Which one looks better?”

Gu Shen was still looking at the document. “You can decide for yourself.”

“No.” Yan Xi climbed onto his bed and took away the document in Gu Shen’s hand. “As a husband, you should help your wife choose her clothes.”

Gu Shen threw a look at them and chose the green silk dress.

Yan Xi leaned over and kissed Gu Shen on the cheek.

“Hubby really has good taste.”

The next day, Yan Xi changed into that dress. The swaying skirt was like a small river illuminated by the sun, calm and dazzling.

The makeup girl was carefully choosing the makeup for Yan Xi while asking her if she had any requests.

Xiaolan stood at the back and couldn’t help but whimper. “Madam is so beautiful. If she didn’t let me cook dumplings, she’d look even prettier.”

“Keep your voice down. Madam might ask you to wash the toilet tomorrow,” Xiaoyue stopped her.

Actually, cooking dumplings was not a big deal. On the contrary, it was very relaxing. However, the two of them were still on tenterhooks and were afraid that Yan Xi would take action against them if she was unhappy.

Yan Xi wanted to tell them that their voices were really loud.

After putting on her makeup, Yan Xi went downstairs to look for Gu Shen.

He was still wearing a suit, but the color of the square neckcloth was exactly the same as her long dress.

Yan Xi smiled and her eyes curved. “Is this a couple’s outfit?”

“Just to reassure Grandfather,” he said evenly.

Gu Yi, who was behind him, remained silent. In order to find this square neckcloth yesterday, he had gone to several shops and bought over 50 sets from which Gu Shen chose one.

Yan Xi was still happy. “Let’s go then. Don’t waste time.”

…

The Gu family’s banquet was definitely not just a simple meal. Under the calm surface, there were surging torrents.

However, it was not surprising at all. Even ordinary families would end up killing each other just for some petty money, let alone the rich and powerful Gu family. Everyone wanted to take a portion of the family assets.

Yan Xi still remembered the writer’s description of the Gu family.

It was wealthy enough to compete with a nation and powerful enough to compete with a king.

The Gu family’s company had already been established since the last century. After many decades of development, its business was now all over the world. There were also many industries under the company, and every one of them could bring huge benefits to the Gu family.

Now that the Gu family was under the control of Old Master Gu, Gu Hai. Whoever was favored by Gu Hai would be a step closer to obtaining the inheritance, but whoever was disliked by Gu Hai would be treated with disdain in the family.

And today’s family banquet was to welcome Gu Cheng, the junior that Old Master Gu valued the most, so there would definitely be many people.

However, this kind of fight for power did not have much to do with Gu Shen at the moment. He had just gotten hold of a few small companies of the Gu family, and his authority was pathetically low.

Gu Shen was Old Master Gu’s biological grandson, but he was treated nothing like Gu Cheng.
