C6 It Has Nothing to Do with Sacrifice
Only the mayfly knows that every existence in the world itself is the meaning, and that it has nothing to do with the sacrifice of something great. As long as it existed, there was only one purpose.
The purpose of the Four Great Clans was to protect a clan. An organization that had been passed down for hundreds of years, apart from a few core members who knew the reason for its existence, very few people in the Four Great Clans knew the reason for its existence.
The inheritance, which had a long history, had long been sealed into the bones and blood vessels of the human body like flesh and blood. They had become one and could not be separated or dismantled.
However, the four great families of the Gu family, which had been protecting the military family for generations, were no longer as powerful as before.
The rapid development of the 21st century had caused the four great families to hide in the vast ocean like a sleeping ferocious beast, waiting quietly, waiting for the arrival of a true storm.
As a medical family of generations, the Cao family had been searching for other families with all their might. Now that the Gu family was old and had a headache due to heart disease, the day of the handover of authority was bound to arrive. A dark organization that had been established since who knew when was about to attack the Gu family.
Cao's father stood in front of the wall full of research drawings. His thoughts were complicated. The thought of the four families gave him a headache.
He did not know how many sleepless nights it was. The ancient condition worsened day by day. The Four Great Families had yet to gather to discuss strategies.
In his heart, there was an ominous feeling that told him that if he continued to indulge, the Gu family and the four families' future would be bumpy.
The second day after Cao Lanruo woke up, Lee Xiaofei dragged her out. Along the way, Lee Xiaofei did not tell Cao Lanruo where to go and Cao Lanruo was too lazy to be curious. With Lee Xiaofei's personality, the more curious she was, the more she did not say anything.
When Lee Xiaofei's family's driver parked the car in front of a hotel, Lee Xiaofei said to Cao Lanruo as she got out of the car, "I guess you will not be able to guess who is inside."
Cao Lanruo rubbed her eyes and her chest felt a little stuffy. The dream last night was vivid and vivid as if there was really a pair of warm hands touching her forehead.
Forget it. It was just a dream.
Cao Lanruo looked at the big hotel in front of her. There were lanterns and streamers outside the hotel. One look and one could tell which pair of newbies were holding a wedding here.
Without looking up, she took out her phone and said, "Do you think I'm guessing?"
Lee Xiaofei was a little depressed and said, "Little Ruo, can you be more energetic? When I went to your house just now, I saw you looking like you were out of your mind. Did something happen? Did you have a quarrel with uncle again?"
Cao Lanruo did not want to talk about these things anymore. She impatiently put her phone in her pocket and asked, "If you brought me to this place to join in the fun today, I might as well go home and continue to sleep with me."
Lee Xiaofei saw that Cao Lanruo seemed to be really angry. She remembered that Cao Lanruo had been lying on the bed since the start of school these few days. She had always been very accurate in her biological clock, but now she actually liked to sleep.
"Little Ruo, that's not what I meant. This is the wedding invitation Mi Jianying gave you. It was me who intercepted it and planned to give you a surprise." As Lee Xiaofei spoke, she took out an exquisite wedding invitation from her bag and handed it to Cao Lanruo.
"This is Mi Jianying's?" Cao Lanruo took the wedding invitation and found it unbelievable.
Lee Xiaofei made an innocent gesture, "Could it be mine?"
Cao Lanruo opened the invitation. The three beautiful words of Mi Jianying on the invitation were clearly visible. In the blink of an eye, the groom's name was very unfamiliar. He should be someone she did not know.
Mi Jianying was considered an unimportant person in Cao Lanruo's life circle. After saving Mi Jianying that time, Mi Jianying, who was kind and good at socializing, became good friends with Cao Lanruo. However, it was only limited to Mi Jianying.
Cao Lanruo passed the invitation card back to Lee Xiaofei and said, "Although we are friends, we are not that close."
Lee Xiaofei looked at Cao Lanruo in disbelief and said, "You do not take me seriously but I have already treated you as my savior. If you do not go, you will not give me face. Besides, There is no reason to refuse an invitation to marry."
Cao Lanruo thought about it carefully and also felt that That thought just now was a bit too much. He took the invitation and entered the hotel with Lee Xiaofei.
At this time, the bride and groom were still in the room upstairs preparing but the banquet hall was already prepared and only waiting for the beautiful bride to appear.
After Cao Lanruo and Lee Xiaofei found their seats, they discovered that this seat was not next to the bride and groom's main table nor was there an ordinary area for family and friends. Instead, in the banquet hall, there was a relatively wide view and a special VIP seat.
Lee Xiaofei held the gold card and walked over from the gift collection room, "Collecting gift money is really a subject of knowledge. Take a look there."
Cao Lanruo looked in the direction Lee Xiaofei pointed and saw that there was a long table by the door of the banquet hall. The arrangement was very good and there were two women in full clothes sitting behind the table.
