Chapter 1020: Han and Mu Families Face Off

After the New Year, Gu Decang and Chen Hong began to worry about his marriage.

They asked him if he had any friends outside the family and whether he needed help from the family in matchmaking.

Over the years, Gu Jiajie has become quite a figure in Beijing, and everyone respectfully calls him Gu Boss when he’s out and about.

Matchmaking back home is undoubtedly impossible.

And he himself is casual when it comes to feelings, under his parents’ siege, he already took Gu Minmin and left home to return to Beijing.

Under Gu Jiajie’s intervention, Minmin gave up her struggles in the entertainment industry and returned to school quietly.

After returning to Beijing, Gu Jiajie had to manage Shijiu Entertainment Company, as well as the Hundred Flavors Pavilion, two major businesses.

The Hundred Flavors Pavilion has been so popular over the years that it’s just short of going international.

Fortunately, he has two great brothers, Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren, who have some business acumen.

Hua Country now has hundreds of Hundred Flavors Pavilion stores, which are very popular and well-loved by the public.

Shortly after they left, Gu Dehao, Gu Jin, Ye Mei, and Gu Jiayu’s family also left Qingshan Village.

Gu Dehao returned to Beijing to reunite with the brothers from Tianlong Special Guard, Gu Jiayu had to return to Beijing shortly for school, and Ye Mei needed to take care of her husband and child.

Everyone had their own things to attend to.

Except for Gu Jin, who was a leisure person, returning to the quiet courtyard, resuming her easy and lazy life.

All her businesses are managed by professionals, and as long as there were no accidents, she barely had to interfere.

An Mingji has been gone for three months.

A lot has happened during these three months.

Before the end of the year, Chen Palace was looking to recruit, and it’s heard that the Royal Family Han Family had set eyes on Mu Family’s youngest daughter.

The Mu Family cherished this daughter, naturally refusing to let her enter that treacherous Chen Palace.

Due to Mu Family’s refusal, the Royal Family got upset, and now the two families are in a fiery situation.

Mu Family’s eldest son, Mu Zifan, who was the chief secretary of the current Chen Palace, was directly removed because of this incident.

Other members of the Mu Family were also affected to varying degrees, but not to a large extent.

As the leader of the Four Great Families, the Mu Family was only disgraced by the Royal Family on the surface, without any real harm.

Gu Jin did not know the specific situation, it’s just that the atmosphere among various families in Beijing had become somewhat tense recently.

Moreover, her full-blood sister, Zhen Lingling, had married Liu Family’s son, Liu Bochang, who had tormented her in her previous life.

The Zhen Family even sent Gu Jin a wedding invitation, which she didn’t attend, tossing the invitation casually into the trash bin.

At this moment, Gu Jin lounged on the hollow-carved soft couch in the hall, covered with a thin blanket, sipping the ginseng meat soup Kasi prepared for her, emitting sounds of comfort and leisure.

The fireplace nearby burned brightly, and after a bowl of ginseng soup, a fine sweat seemed to break out on her body, prompting Gu Jin to lift the thin blanket covering her waist.

Her movements were gentle, alerting the sensitive Duoduo at her feet.

Duoduo lifted its head from her lap, tilting its head at Gu Jin with clear, azure eyes.

This adorable, silly look was quite endearing.

Gu Jin reached out to pat its head, noticing it seemed to have gained some weight under her hand.

"Duoduo, have you gotten fatter?"

"Awoo!"

Duoduo let out a soft whimper, nudging Gu Jin’s hand with its head.

This indicated that it was very much enjoying the petting.

Gu Jin chuckled softly, continuing to stroke its fur.

Duoduo emitted a comfortable sound, its wolf eyes squinting in pleasure.

Kasi approached, taking the soup bowl from the table, and when she returned, she was holding a black invitation.

With respect, she handed the invitation to Gu Jin: "Miss Gu, this was delivered this morning."
