Chapter 1524: The Ou Family Heir Must Renounce Emotion

Then came the introductions for the Ou family brothers at the table.

First was the family head Gu Ming and his son Gu Dongxing. After learning about Hai Xue’s situation, the Ou siblings understood Gu Family had abandoned their elder aunt due to reasons related to themselves, which although forced, still left them somewhat displeased, evident by their faint expressions.

When Gu Dongxing was introduced, Ou Pengfei’s eyes first flickered with jealousy, then he enthusiastically grasped his hand: "Cousin, you’re so accomplished at such a young age, being a regimental commander at just twenty-seven. You’ll surely bring glory to us, the Ou family."

Such an outstanding cousin, not only tall, robust, and handsome like a Heavenly God, but also already a regimental commander at a young age. Just one casual glance could put him on alert: this cousin is definitely not simple. A person like this can only be allied with, not rivaled.

His little schemes should be put away. Yet, he was aware that in his lifetime, he might never meet another woman like his future cousin-in-law who could stir his heart so.

Moreover, the heir of the Ou family must also renounce emotions.

Gu Dongxing smiled: "No, you’re the impressive one. I heard Ou Group established its footing in Shenzhen in just half a year, and my cousin certainly played a crucial role." How could he not see through his cousin’s schemes? But he knew when to control himself and reciprocate subtly, so he chose not to expose it.

"Not at all!"

Gu Ming felt even more displeased upon hearing Ou Pengfei mention Gu Dongxing bringing glory to the Ou family. How could he say my son is bringing glory to the Ou family? If there’s any glory, it’s for the Gu family.

Yet, this displeasure could only be bottled up inside, not daring to voice it because he feared Hai Xue would be upset.

Hai Xue agreeing to remarry him was already a blessing, and the other matters could be approached slowly in time. He needed to gently warm her heart.

After everyone was introduced, they sat down to eat.

During the meal, seeing the lavish spread, even the Ou siblings, hailing from a wealthy family, were somewhat surprised.

"Is that sea cucumber? How long must it be?" Ou Zhen marveled.

Mengyu laughed: "Over a meter long. If my cousin likes it, I’ll give you one."

"Really?" Ou Zhen was delighted and pointed at the cut-open abalone: "What’s this?"

Mengyu: "Try it and see?"

Ou Zhen tasted a bit: "It’s a bit like abalone flavor, but this abalone is very large, right?"

Mengyu nodded with a smile: "You’re right, it truly is abalone. Large, smaller than a tire. If my cousin likes it, I’ll gift you one."

Ou Zhen was shocked again: "Such large abalone indeed. Thank you so much, future cousin-in-law."

Ou Pengfei took a bite of the tuna: "It’s bluefin tuna!"

He was also a bit astonished. The meal today was not one an ordinary family could afford; even the Ou family found it difficult to set up such a spread.

Moreover, that future cousin-in-law casually offered a one-meter-long sea cucumber and a tire-sized abalone as gifts. Just that tire-sized abalone would cost tens of thousands of yuan.

He had thought, since Gu Ming lost his parents young, any wealth in the Gu family would be in the hands of his uncles, leaving him with only his government salary.

Now it seemed the Gu family had both authority and wealth.

His initial disdainful gaze at Gu Ming gradually turned normal.

After the meal, Mengyu brewed tea: "Come, everyone, have a cup of authentic Da Hong Pao tea to cleanse your palate."

Mao Xiangqin nearly chuckled upon hearing Mengyu emphasize ’authentic.’ Was he taking advantage of the Xiangjiang visitors’ ignorance? Who doesn’t know only Da Hong Pao tea from the Wuyi Mountain mother trees can be deemed authentic, and there’s only eight ounces of it annually. Where did he get it?

But she ’caught’ it without pointing it out, merely smiling at Mengyu with amused judgment.
