Moreover, guns are illegal.
Was it possible that he was just a bodyguard, not the president of the United Nations? Where was he supposed to get a gun?
Seeing the bodyguard hesitate, Gu Xize suddenly flew into a rage.
"Didn't you hear me? Hurry up and get it ready!"
The bodyguard seemed to want to say something but held back. In the end, he slunk off to make preparations.
On the other side, Jiang Zhi saw Jiang Miaomiao get up to change her clothes and a smug smile curved her lips.
When she turned around, she found that Gu Xize was still staring at her with a sinister look.
She felt a shiver down her spine and had an odd feeling that something was off.
Soon, she figured out the reason.
Gu Xize was acting so strangely probably because he knew that she would be adopted as an adopted daughter by Old Master Gu tonight.
In that case, the two of them would be even more unlikely to be together. So, he was probably breaking down because he couldn't have her.
-
Jiang Miaomiao came back after changing her clothes. First, she picked up a glass of red wine from the tray held by a waiter.
Then, she walked straight up to Gu Xize and unhesitatingly splashed it on him.
"Oh, sorry. My hand slipped."
Gu Xize didn't even blink, continuing to stare fixedly in Jiang Zhi's direction.
Jiang Miaomiao snickered to herself. He was so focused; he must be thinking about his assassination plan.
Returning to her seat, Jiang Miaomiao turned her gaze towards the main table.
The atmosphere at the main table was rather strange.
Old Master Gu sat at the head, with Gu Beichen and Lin Xuechun sitting on either side.
Tao Yirou, the legitimate wife, was sitting on the side with a sullen face.
Jiang Zhi stood beside Gu Beichen and Old Master Gu, gently pouring them wine. The three of them seemed to be talking about something, and their expressions were a bit odd.
Unfortunately, Jiang Miaomiao's seat was too far from them, and she couldn't hear what they were saying.
So, she had an idea and asked the system to bring up the plot.
Although she couldn't hear them, she could see through the plot.
However, when she saw the first part, she couldn't hold back her anger.
[Original text: Old Master Gu, after listening to the two, didn't even raise his head. "Beichen, you have a child before getting married. It's really not proper. You know, I've always had high hopes for you. After acquiring Jiang's Group, I'll let you manage it all by yourself."]
Jiang Miaomiao gritted her teeth in anger.
This old geezer actually still wants to acquire Jiang's Group. He's daydreaming!
[Original text: Old Master Gu looked at Jiang Zhi, who had a pitiful expression. "I know you've contributed a lot to Gu's Group's acquisition of Jiang's Group. So, I plan to adopt you as my adopted daughter. It can be considered as compensation for you. As for your relationship with Beichen, we'll talk about it later."
Jiang Zhi looked up at Gu Beichen, her tear - filled eyes showing her grievance, but she still nodded bravely. "I know. Beichen's reputation is more important. I know what to do."
Seeing her being so understanding, Gu Beichen felt heart - broken.
He secretly glanced at the child in Lin Xuechun's arms and gritted his teeth. "Dad, you ask me to pay attention to my reputation, but what about you? Don't you have an illegitimate child?"
Old Master Gu paused in the middle of sipping his tea.
Then, he said matter - of - factly, "At my age, it's normal to have one or two illegitimate children abroad."]
Seeing this part, Jiang Miaomiao's eyes lit up.
[System! Change "have one or two illegitimate children" to "have a hundred illegitimate children"!]
At the main table, Old Master Gu frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard Gu Beichen's accusation.
Then, he spoke matter - of - factly, "At my age, it's normal to have a hundred illegitimate children abroad."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beichen's expression froze.
What did Dad just say?
Besides the one Lin Xuechun gave birth to, he had a hundred illegitimate children abroad?
In an instant, he felt like his world had collapsed.
Jiang Zhi beside him also turned pale.
If Old Master Gu had a hundred illegitimate children, could Beichen still inherit the family property?
Even if the Gu family had a huge fortune, but a hundred illegitimate children!
No matter how much family property there was, after being divided among them, there wouldn't be much left.
Old Master Gu noticed that the two of them had strange expressions and realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"Don't think too much. I just misspoke."
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside.
Immediately after, a large group of people rushed in, and the bodyguards couldn't stop them.
The guests looked puzzled.
"What's going on?"
"Who are these people? Why are they barging into someone's house?"
"Hey, why are there so many foreigners?"
Only then did everyone notice that many of the people who had barged in had foreign faces.
"So what if they're foreigners? They can't barge into someone's house either!"
"Could these people be here to rob?"
With this sudden incident, the scene became chaotic.
Gu Beichen immediately reacted and dispatched more bodyguards.
The group of people were stopped by the bodyguards and were furious.
A person with an Asian face shouted angrily in a heavy Japanese - accented voice, "Baka yarou! You die die! I come to find my papa!"
Then, the person broke free from the bodyguard and rushed in front of Old Master Gu.
"Oh - to - san! I am your son!"
What?
Everyone was shocked.
"Aishiteru!"
At this time, another person broke free from the bodyguard and rushed in front of Old Master Gu."
Appa! I also your son! Please care more!"
"..."
Even the bodyguards were shocked.
So shocked that they forgot what they were doing, allowing all the foreigners to break free and rush towards Old Master Gu."
Daddy, I also your son!"
"We all your sons!"
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.Even the accents of the people were affected by those foreigners.
"Lord have mercy."
"Are those people really all Old Master Gu's sons?"
Although every wealthy family had some skeletons in the closet, and illegitimate children were quite common.
But a hundred illegitimate children was still a rare thing.
Old Master Gu was really energetic at his age to have so many illegitimate children.
Everyone looked at the group of illegitimate children and their eyes towards Madam Gu became even more sympathetic.
She must be the most tragic wealthy - family wife, right?
Her husband, at such an old age, brought his mistress home to be on an equal footing with her. What was even more suffocating was that he had a hundred illegitimate children.
Madam Gu went up to hold Old Master Gu, crying in disbelief, "Lord, are they really all your sons? How could you do this to me!"
Old Master Gu shook her off impatiently. "What are you talking about! This is slander!"
Hearing this, the group of illegitimate children immediately cried out for injustice, demanding to go for a paternity test with Old Master Gu.
Old Master Gu didn't dare to go for a paternity test. He stammered and refused to go, but stubbornly insisted that none of them were his sons.
The two sides started arguing, and the scene was in chaos.
Jiang Miaomiao listened to the broken Chinese spoken by those foreigners and felt her head buzzing.
The system really didn't know how to adapt. Illegitimate children abroad weren't necessarily all foreigners.
However, seeing the expressions of the Gu family members, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
Didn't that old geezer want to acquire Jiang's Group?
Then she would stir up trouble in the Gu family first and see how he could silence all the gossip.
Just as Old Master Gu was at his wit's end, not knowing how to solve the problem, Jiang Zhi stepped forward.
Instead of explaining verbally, she used her unspoken thoughts.
[Isn't it just because Gu's Group's new project has grabbed the vast majority of the market as soon as it was launched? Some people can't compete with Gu's Group, so they can only secretly hire these actors to ruin Old Master Gu's reputation. Old Master Gu has always been bold and straightforward. Even if he has children outside, he would bring them back to the Gu family openly.]
