The closeness between the two people's behaviors is obvious to all around them.
Gu Wei, the next person in power of the Gu Family, is married to a beta. The news spread among the Gu Family members who were present.
Back to the Gu Manor, He Yinyin and Gu Tiansheng were immediately surrounded by them.
"How could Gu Wei marry a beta?"
"Is this really true?"
"Elder brother and sister-in-law, how can you just let Gu Wi do such a foolish thing?"
"A beta, my god, I can't even imagine it."
"Beta can never conceive, don't you know?"
"I always thought Xiao Wei is mature and reliable, but what he did today makes me worry about the Gu Family's future once he takes over. He might do something that is even more shocking."
"Elder brother and sister-in-law, for the sake of the Gu Family's honor, we would never agree to this marriage."
"That's right, we don't recognize Gu Wei's marriage. Through his decision in marriage, it has proved that he is actually too young to inherit the Gu Family."
...
In the heated discussion, Gu Tiansheng's face had changed different emotions within a short moment, while He Yinyin lowered her eyes and listened on patiently as always.
When everyone talked dryly and found that the parents of the person involved were silent, their emotions slowly calmed down.
"Are you finished?" He Yinyin curled up the corners of her mouth, and the beautiful eyes swept across the group of people in front of her.
Hearing her question, the person who originally wanted to say a few words closed his mouth wittily.
"What's wrong with beta?" He Yinyin smiled, but said coldly, "Cousin Gu Wen, I remember your eldest son is a beta, what is it? You feel that marrying a beta is a shame to the Gu Family? How about you sever the father-son relationship with your eldest son?"
The alpha being named by He Yinyin immediately blushed.
In an instant, everyone present remembered that He Yinyin's second son, Gu Xing, is also a beta, and they just tried to devalue the beta in front of her.
Gu Tiansheng felt that her words were too blunt. He let out a fake cough to remind her that everyone here is the Gu Family members, but He Yinyin seemed to see through him, glanced at him lightly, and coldly said: "If you have a cold, go back to your room and rest."
"It's okay." Gu Tiansheng looked away awkwardly, and turned his head to look outside the door as if nothing had happened. He happened to see Gu Wei and Yue Fei walking in.
"Who will inherit the Gu Family, and how it is done," He Yinyin looked at the two people who said that they will not agree to Gu Wei inheriting the Gu Family, "The decision can be done upon your own opinions? Did I underestimate you two, or you two are being too self-righteous?"
"As for bearing children," He Yinyin's gaze shifted and fell lightly on the person who brought up the topic, "Gu Tong, I remember your wife is an omega, and you two have been married for seven or eight years. Why didn't I hear anything about having a child? What's the matter? Don't plan to have children yet?"
Gu Tong's face turned green and pale, it was not like they didn't want to have a child, they couldn't seem to get pregnant!
"Our Xiao Fei is still a child, and we are not in a hurry to have a baby."
After saying the last sentence, He Yinyin slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to moisturize her throat. After all this talk, she was thirsty.
All of her words were heard by Gu Wei and Yue Fei who walked into the main hall.
Yue Fei was shocked by He Yinyin's words on bearing children. He knew about omega's ability to bear children, but he didn't expect beta to bear children too!
Gu Wei curled up the corners of his mouth and slowly approached the crowd, and proactively said, "So lively?"
Seeing them coming, Gu Tiansheng didn't want to stay here for long. He had no interest in this kind of verbal argument.
"I just got caught in the rain, and it seems I caught a cold. I'll go back to the room for a while."
Everyone told him to take care and let him go back to rest without saying anything, but He Yinyin didn't raise her eyes, just pretending that she hadn't heard it.
Gu Wei took the seat of Gu Tiansheng, and Yue Fei consciously sat beside him.
A group of elders were present, but the two of them, as juniors, were seated first, which was a bit rude.
But these people were just being lectured by He Yinyin one by one, and the person of their topic was Gu Wei, not Gu Weii or Gu Xing, so they didn't have the confidence to show the elders' position.
"These new servants seem to get lazy day by day. With this many people, there are not enough chairs, yet they still haven't brought a few over. They are still not as good as the previous servants."
Someone judged in a small voice.
Such indirect oblique accusations, it was a pity that Yue Fei didn't understand, but He Yinyin and Gu Wei did.
He Yinyin was about to speak, but Gu Wei spoke first: "I heard that some uncles and aunts seem to have some opinions on my rights to inherit the Gu Family."
Gu Wei has presided over the Gu Group for many years, and his words are the commands. He really did not expect that these relatives who live only on their shard in the group's dividends every year would think that they are qualified to claim the right of inheritance.
In front of Gu Tiansheng and He Yinyin, there seemed to be people who did not finish talking. Facing Gu Wei at this moment, the person became a mute; and the one who was complaining about the chairs also fell silent.
"Perhaps you have forgotten the days when the Group's stock plummeted eight years ago and the company's market value shrank tremendously." Gu Wei raised his mouth. "I get it. After living comfortably for too long, you would like to cause trouble to yourself out of boredom. "
The few who were present in the turmoil eight years ago suffered greatly, and the white paper bills and the notice of suspension of dividends were all their nightmare. If it were not for Gu Wei, the Gu Group might have been bought at a low price or even destroyed by the foreign corporation that had been eyeing it at the time, and they would no longer be living the wealthy life."
The atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassing. As elders, at this moment, they could only listen to the teachings of the younger generation, and could not even refute it. The people, who had just felt that they were right and confident, were completely stunned by such sudden rounds of crushing blows.
Gu Tong said: "Xiao Wei, don't think too much about it, we are just wanting the best for you."
Others echoed: "Yes, we are just worried about you."
"This must be Xiao Fei. He seems to be a good kid, Xiao Wei's choice is indeed correct."
"You two are a perfect match."
"You two must be living happily in the future."
Yue Fei: "..."
Gu Wei: "Then I would like to thank all uncles and aunts for their blessings."
At this point, everyone thought that the matter had stopped here, but Gu Wei seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke again.
"By the way, you just mentioned the childbearing, if it weren't for Uncle Tong's reminder, I would have forgotten it."
"Because Xiao Fei is a beta, we have no plans to have children, so after the shareholders meeting, I plan to choose a capable child from the Gu Family as my heir."
As soon as he said this, everyone on the scene couldn't help expressing their joy.
"Do you really plan to do that?"
"Xiao Wei's idea is reasonable. Xiao Fei is a beta and can't bear children. The heirs must be selected from the well-trained ones of the next generation of Gu Family."
"Xiao Wei is very thoughtful."
"We have all seen Xiao Wei's ability over the years, and it is impossible not to support him."
"Yes, it's impossible not to support it."
"When Brother Tong and the others were talking earlier, I was not very happy with his opinions. Those of us who are the elders just hope that the younger generation can be happy. How can we use inheritance rights to determine their happiness?
"I think so too, but I didn't dare to say it just now."
All of a sudden, the faces of the people who spoke up earlier turned pale.
Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't need to bear children, but he also learned from the Gu Family on how to flip side in an instant.
It turns out that as long as your child has the opportunity to be selected as the heir, then who cares whether Gu Wei's partner can bear a child or not, it would be better not to.
Suddenly, in the eyes of these Gu Family members, Yue Fei went from the most outrageous partner to Gu Wei's most suitable partner.
Life has its ups and downs, just like that.
...
Yue Fei was still deep in his own thoughts, when his fingertips suddenly became hot, and he was taken aback and turned his head.
It turned out that Gu Wei took a cup of hot tea to give him. Seeing that he hadn't responded, he touched him gently.
"Did I scare you?" Gu Wei raised an eyebrow.
Yue Fei took the teacup: "Why didn't you call me."
He Yinyin looked at him and smiled: "He called you twice, but when he saw that you didn't respond, he thought you lost your soul."
He didn't know when the people who had just gathered here had dispersed. Some went back to their own courtyard, some went to the corridor to get some air, and the main hall became quiet for a while.
Hearing what He Yinyin said, Yue Fei held the cup in his hand and licked his lips a little embarrassedly. He couldn't say that he was quite mesmerizing the Gu Family's members' ability to flip their opinion in an instant like that, so he held off on that opinion and said: "Gu Wei is here, how could I lose my soul."
Yue Fei meant that he was not distracted.
But He Yinyin teased him: "Oh, if Gu Wei is not here, your soul will be lost, right?"
!
"Heh." Gu Wei laughed.
Yue Fei was anxious: "No, mother, I didn't mean that!"
Seeing him being shy, He Yinyin smiled and said, "Okay, not that meaning, I won't say anything."
"Don't laugh, mom knows I didn't mean that." Yue Fei glared at Gu Wei.
Gu Wei curled up his mouth and said, "I didn't smile."
"...I'm not blind!" Yue Fei was shocked by Gu Wei's ability to lie without batting an eye.
"Hahaha..." He Yinyin laughed a little bit inconsistent with the usual gentle image as they quarreled, Xiao Fei was so cute.
Hearing this exaggerated laughter, Yue Fei looked at He Yinyin bitterly: "...Mom?"
After dinner in the evening, the Gu Family's annual ancestor worship was completed, and Yue Fei followed Gu Wei back to Nanwan Xiang District.
This time, Tang Yue came to pick them up.
In the car, Yue Fei asked Gu Wei: "Are you really going to choose your heir from the younger generation of Gu Family in the future?"
Unexpectedly he would ask this, Gu Wei raised his eyebrows: "What do you think?"
Yue Fei: "I think you just threw a bait at them."
Hearing this, Gu Wei, who was inattentive, slightly narrowed his eyes when he answered him.
Yue Fei tilted his head to look at him, and saw the answer he wanted from his reaction.
"I was right." Yue Fei curled up his mouth.
Seeing the blatant smug expression on the boy's face, Gu Wei raised his hand and squeezed his cheek, boasting: "You're not stupid."
