When Gu Xijue went downstairs, the large living room was already filled with people.

The Gu family had an illustrious background, and was well-connected. When the invitation for the banquet came out, not only did it send out a huge business figure on the beach, it also sent out important members of the political world and refined scholars.

Fan Jinya uninvited himself to a seat next to the father and daughter of the Xing Family. The moment Xing Xiu saw Qin Lie, she wanted to leave. She was glared at by Xing Yumiao and forced to sit down.

Fan Jinya had a sinister look in his eyes as he threatened, "Brother Bo Nian, you are a quiet businessman. Having a daughter is of great potential."

Xing Boyan smiled apologetically. "Boss Fan must be joking." "My daughter has always been with my mother and my family. Although she knows a few words, she has never seen the world before."

"Haven't you seen the world before?" Fan Xian had his gold teeth bared as he loudly laughed, "Brother Bo Nian probably has never seen his daughter sitting quietly in front of my house before, but you can call her a hero!"

Xing Boyan's expression suddenly changed.

He had always been a timid person, and sitting by Fan Jinya's side was already filled with fear and trepidation. Now that he heard him say this, his forehead began to drip with cold sweat.

"How, how could this be? Boss Fan, we are a well-behaved family … "

Xing Xiu stood up, raising her delicate face high as she said righteously, "That's right. I was the one who showed off my power that time!" The nation is in trouble. You have guns and food in your hands, yet you don't know how to take up a weapon to fight against an enemy. Instead, you're bullying your own people. As a Chinese, I feel ashamed for you! "

Fan Jinya's chubby face trembled, and he coldly said, "Old Xing, you heard it, why aren't you disciplining your precious daughter?!"

"Xiuxiu is now a member of my Gu family. If you want to discipline me, then so be it."

Gu Xijue was wearing a dark colored robe. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing two neat white edges. He looked elegant and had a faint smile on his face.

Xing Xiu called out, "Xijue."

Gu Xijue smiled gently and stretched out his hand to pull her over, protecting his back while looking extremely intimate.

"Boss Fan greets us with all due respect and brings glory to our humble dwelling." "Since I was unable to receive you in time, I will first punish myself with three cups." Gu Xijue said with a smile.

He was hosting a Western dinner party. From time to time, servants passed by the parlour carrying drinks. Gusijue picked up three glasses of brandy and downed them in one gulp.

The Gu Clan's wealth could not be underestimated, and even Fan Jinya did not want to cause a ruckus with Gu Xijue, so he immediately retracted his fierce momentum and followed the steps down, but his words were still as imprecise as before.

"Young Master Gu is magnanimous! "Then I will take advantage of this and offer it to Young Master Gu as a gift to return with a beauty in my arms!" He also picked up his wine cup and pretended to drink. "It's just that Miss Xing is a rose with thorns. I wonder if Young Master Gu can bear it. Hahahaha …"

Gu Xiuxiu smiled, "Regarding that day's matter, Soo Soo was just curious and was pulled over by her classmate. She did not intend to make things difficult for Boss Fan, so I ask that Boss Fan give consideration to Xiuxiu and not make things difficult for her."

He took out his cheque book and signed a number in a few strokes, "This is just a small amount, it can be considered as repairing the houses that were destroyed by the students who caused trouble. If there is anything else you need, feel free to tell Xi Jue."

Fan Jinya the Lama accepted the cheque.

He came from a bandit background, so he was greedy to begin with. Gu Xijue was generous and gave him more than enough money to fix a few windows and build a new building. Seeing him accept the cheque, Gu Xijue gave a faint smile and accompanied him to drink a few cups of wine. He then called out to the two famous ladies on the beach and took care of them, saying: "Serve Boss Fan well."

Fan Jinya secretly liked this sensible young man, and had even forgotten that Gu Xijue had not used his left hand to pay his respects, drink, or even take out his chequebook.

After the banquet was over, Gu Xijue personally drove the car and sent Xing Boyan and his daughter back to Chang'e.

When the news of the two's engagement was announced, many famous people came to toast to Xing Yumiao. Xing Yumiao couldn't help but feel relaxed. He had originally been a third-rate merchant house, but now that he had a noble daughter and was on the same level as everyone else, he was naturally proud.

By the time Gu Xijue had sent Xing Boyun home, he had already drunk a bit too much, his tongue already swollen.

"Xiu, accompany me well …" "Xijue wants to chat with my father, and my father will go to sleep first." With the support of two concubines, he staggered up the stairs.

Xing Xiu escorted Gu Xijue downstairs.

"Young Master Gu, have a safe trip." Xing Xiu said.

Gu Xijue smiled bitterly. She had called him Gu Xijue before, and had even called him Xijue before, but now she had thrown out a hard Young Master Gu.

"Soo Soo, are you not satisfied with me in any way?"

"I don't dare."

"Because of Fan Jin Ya?"

Xing Xiu had been suppressing her anger all night long, and when she heard him mention this name again, she immediately lost control and exploded, "That's right, it's because of Fan Jinya! Gu Xijue, I misjudged you. I never thought that you would be like my Abba, a timid person!

Fan Jinya is a gangster, what's wrong with us denouncing him? You actually gave him an apology and money! You are increasing his arrogance! "

"Then what should I do? Leave the factory, leave your parents, and go with you. "He came to cause trouble for you today, so I used money to cover his mouth. At least I know that you're safe!"

"I don't need you to compromise. I'm not afraid of danger!"

"But I'm afraid!" He suddenly shouted back, startling her.

The alley was silent, and the dim yellow light of the street lamps overlapped him with her shadow.

"I'm afraid." "I was afraid that something might have happened to you. I heard that you were caught by the patrol room and couldn't sit still, so I came to pick you up every day."

Xing Xiu was silent.

A very complex feeling welled up in her, a mixture of joy and loss. She liked Gu Xijue, and he also liked her. He was very concerned about her safety, and this made her very touched.

But it would have been nice if he had been braver, braver than the Shadow.

"You have to sacrifice your life for the sake of progress." "I was prepared."

"You don't need to sacrifice yourself if you want to. Leave this sort of thing to the men. "

She looked up suddenly.

He seemed to have heard this phrase somewhere before. The Shadow Knight had said something similar when he saved her.

The same tone.

"Gu Xijue, who exactly are you? "I always feel that you are very much like …"

"Shadow warrior?" He laughed helplessly, "How is that possible? He has great martial arts skills, but I am powerless. "

He gently brushed her hair, and the familiar wooden fragrance filled the summer night.

"I know you are brave and full of ideals. But Soo Soo, what you want to do is not something that can be done that easily. It needs a lot of people to work together, some things need a movie hero, some things need me Gu Xijue.

Although I am not him, I am still the same as him, a descendant of the Sun. "
