Chapter 1016: Chapter 1012: Really Don’t Know

The middle-aged man’s action stunned everyone present.

Chen Yang and all the women were surprised, not expecting the middle-aged man to stand up for them.

This completely defied logic.

And the others present were shocked; since when did the Gu Family become so reasonable?

"Today is the old man’s birthday! I think we should just let this matter go for now. Stop causing a scene in front of so many guests; it’s truly embarrassing!" Before Chen Yang could react, the middle-aged man reprimanded Gu Honghu again.

Gu Honghu was furious, clenching his teeth, but what could he say in front of so many people?

The Gu Family may not have the best reputation, but if they were to do something disgraceful in front of all the province’s elite today, they couldn’t afford to lose face like this.

Thus, Gu Honghu had to swallow his pride!

"Mingxuan! You’re in the wrong here! Apologize to Chen Yang, and let’s just move on." Gu Honghu said sternly.

Gu Mingxuan was stunned upon hearing this!

Wasn’t the plan to get rid of Chen Yang on the spot? Why was he now being asked to apologize to Chen Yang?

"Huh?"

Gu Mingxuan was bewildered.

"Didn’t you hear me tell you to apologize?" Gu Honghu raised his voice.

Gu Mingxuan dared not ask any more questions and quickly apologized to Chen Yang.

After the apology, Gu Honghu snorted angrily and left with four experts.

And the middle-aged man, whom Gu Honghu referred to as second brother, glanced at Chen Yang and then left as well.

With the issue resolved, the banquet quickly returned to normal.

But Chen Yang was still standing there, unable to understand the situation.

Gu Honghu’s plan was actually thwarted by one of their own people—what was the meaning of this?

"Chen Yang, I have the feeling that the uncle who came later was specifically helping you out of the situation?"

Not only did Chen Yang have this feeling, but the group of women also sensed it and mentioned it to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang looked at Yang Ruoxi for a moment and nodded: "I feel the same way, but I don’t know him. Why would he help me?"

"How would I know why, I don’t know him either." Yang Ruoxi replied helplessly.

While Chen Yang was still puzzled, Wang Qingyue suddenly stepped forward and introduced the middle-aged man.

"He is the second son of the Gu Family, named Gu Hongjun!"

"Gu Hongjun? I’ve never even heard of him before." Chen Yang shook his head, indicating that he truly didn’t know him.

"Maybe you’ve forgotten? Why don’t you try to think about it?" Li Han reminded Chen Yang to think it over.

Chen Yang listened and thought carefully but indeed, he didn’t know him.

"I really don’t recognize him. My memory is absolutely solid. If there was any connection, I wouldn’t forget." Chen Yang said confidently.

"That’s strange then. Since you don’t know him, Gu Hongjun has no reason to help you." Wang Qingyue was also surprised, unable to figure out what the Gu Family was up to.

"Whatever, as long as Chen Yang is fine, that’s all that matters. Let’s not worry about anything else."

While everyone was puzzled, Dai Annie suddenly said this.

Chen Yang thought it made sense; right now, the most important thing was not to worry about why, but to guard against any further schemes from the Gu Family.

"Yeah, Annie’s right, as long as nothing’s wrong." Chen Yang nodded, then looked around, noticing that the Gu Family’s courtyard had already been set up with numerous tables and chairs.

It seems preparations for the banquet were already in place.

"Let’s go over there and find a place to sit down. We’ve been standing for quite a while and it’s tiring." Chen Yang pointed to the tables and chairs.

The group of women glanced over there, then nodded and followed Chen Yang.

The tables at the Gu Family banquet were not fixed.

As long as one table was filled with people, it was enough.

So Chen Yang sat at a table with Wu Kexin, Wang Qingyue, Yang Ruoxi, Li Han, and Dai Annie.

Soon after they sat down, the other guests also began to take their seats.

Once everyone was seated, the birthday celebration officially began.

The emcee, waiters, and the like started to move around.

Meanwhile, the big shots who had initially taken a seat inside the villa began to emerge.

Among them were many people Chen Yang knew.

Old Master Wang, Yang Tiancheng, as well as Old Master Li... and others!

Besides those he recognized, there were many people Chen Yang didn’t know.

Although Chen Yang didn’t recognize the others, he could roughly guess their identities in his heart.

They were surely the richest people from various cities or heads of major provincial corporations.

"So many people have come... The Gu Family has invited all the prominent patriarchs from the provincial capital!" Wang Qingyue said softly as she watched the stream of people coming out of the villa.

Chen Yang did not speak upon hearing this, and quietly watched those elderly folks slowly take their seats at the forefront of the banquet.

Once everyone was seated, the emcee took the microphone and loudly maintained order.

"Distinguished guests..."

The emcee said a whole lot of ceremonial words, successfully capturing everyone’s attention on the stage.

Chen Yang and the group of women were also focused, their eyes fixed on the stage.

After the emcee’s speech, it was finally the main act—the appearance of the old family patriarch.

Upon hearing that the old patriarch was about to appear, Chen Yang perked up and stared intently at the stage!

He had so many conflicts with the Gu Family but had never seen this old patriarch, which made him very curious.

"Alright, dear guests, let us now welcome the birthday celebrant, Old Master Gu!" The emcee shouted out loud.

Old Master Gu slowly emerged from the villa, surrounded by five middle-aged men.

The moment Old Master Gu appeared, Chen Yang’s gaze immediately locked onto him!

He was dressed in simple long clothes, with plain linen trousers on his lower body; aside from looking quite spirited, he appeared no different from an ordinary old man.

If they were to meet on the street, Chen Yang would never imagine this was the head of the great Gu Family!

Chen Yang scrutinized Old Master Gu up and down.

Once Old Master Gu exited the villa, he immediately flashed a bright smile at the numerous guests present, clasping his hands respectfully.

"Thank you, dear friends... Thank you for giving me, Gu, this honor..."

Old Master Gu appeared cultured and polite.

But in Chen Yang’s heart, he was well aware—this guy was quite treacherous.

Let’s not even mention anything else; just looking at those descendants he raised and how they ambushed Old Master Wang, one can tell this old man is definitely no easy character!

Chen Yang gave Old Master Gu a once-over and then stopped focusing on him.

Instead, he casually glanced around.

There were many guests around; most were naturally watching Old Master Gu on stage.

But there were still quite a few whose eyes were fixed on him!

Initially, Chen Yang felt a bit baffled, but then he quickly realized.

Evidently, they were displeased seeing him surrounded by women, or perhaps these were Gu Family stooges harboring hostility toward him because of the Gu Family.

Chen Yang smiled slightly, choosing to ignore them.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at the stage.
