“No man is good for a thousand days, and no flower is red for a hundred days.”
Gao Li took a bite of the rice cake and said, "Our Gao family has been prosperous for more than sixty years. In my opinion, if our descendants are incompetent, it's no big deal if they die."
Gao Ye smiled bitterly: "Second brother, you have been so heartless since you were young. I really don't know how a cynical guy like you managed to get promoted."
Gao Li laughed: "You don't understand this, don't you? I'm heartless and I don't feel tired when I live. Unlike you, you have to take care of all the affairs, and you don't live a free and easy life at all."
"And Boss, don't blame me for speaking harshly. Your methods of relying on external forces are not a cure after all. Even if Xiao Yue makes friends with the Third Young Master of the Duan Family, the strength of our own family is the real strength."
"Borrowing the power of outsiders to enhance the prestige of the family is only a temporary solution. After all, it is not a long-term solution. Moreover, as time goes on, you have to be careful that the family's assets will be taken away by outsiders. Why bother?"
Gao Ye said bleakly: "Let's take it one step at a time. At the very least, I hope that after we are gone, our family can continue for another 10 to 20 years, which will be worthy of our father."
Gao Li's expression darkened, and he ate up the rice cake in two or three bites and said, "I won't go to the cocktail party tonight. Such a literary place is not suitable for me."
The old man in green nodded slightly without objecting.
Gao Yue didn't know about the worries of his two grandfathers. After he left the study, he felt more excited.
The Third Young Master of the Duan Family attending the cocktail party must be a confidential matter, otherwise he would have received the news long ago. Why did his grandfather remind him specifically? Of course, he was paving the way for himself. Gao Yue quietly clenched his fists, and a voice in his heart told him that tonight would be an extremely important night for him.
You must perform well!
At six o'clock sharp, Tianyang left the apartment and drove his magnetic car to the Yun family.
Although this was not the first time he had dealt with the Yun family, this was the first time he had visited them in person. Following the map in the car, the young man arrived at his destination.
When he saw the Yun Mansion, Tianyang was a little confused.
It was such a huge mansion, almost like a manor, and the walls alone were incredibly long.
There are now many vehicles parked in the square outside the Yun Mansion. These magnetic energy vehicles have unique shapes, but what is more valuable are the family emblems belonging to various families on the body of the vehicles.
As the most noble of Qingtian, the people invited by the Yun family were all well-known figures in the fortress.
So when Tianyang's magnetic car, which had no family emblem and looked shabby, entered the square, it attracted a lot of contemptuous looks.
The young man was unaware of this. Just like Yun Yuan said, a hero's origin is not important. He is of low status now, but five or ten years later, maybe these people will be too late to curry favor with him.
So Tianyang straightened his back, and walked towards the gate with confidence, bearing the gazes of many people.
A person's inner strength is the real strength. And a strong heart comes from self-confidence. At this moment, the boy's confidence was revealed, and he had an extraordinary temperament, which attracted the attention of some young ladies.
Arriving at the door, Tian Yang was about to hand over the jade ring Yun Yuan had given him, when a childish, sharp voice rang out from inside the door: "What are you doing here?"
Tianyang looked and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. It turned out to be the ninth young master of the Yun family, Yun Yao!
Yun Yao was wearing luxurious clothes tonight, and combed his hair back like an adult, trying to look mature, but still with a bit of
The childishness of a child.
But this child is not likable at all. His eyes, his expression, and his behavior all reveal a kind of sarcasm.
Just like now, seeing Tianyang, Yun Yao rushed out, pointed at the boy's nose and shouted: "Get lost! Is this a place you can come to? Why don't you take a mirror to look at yourself and see who you are? Are you worthy of being here?"
Many people recognized Yun Yao as the young master of the Yun family, and they all looked over here. Moreover, there were already many people near the gate, and after hearing Yun Yao's words, even more people came to watch the excitement.
Tian Yang could completely understand the feelings of the Ninth Young Master. During the family competition, he had suffered a lot under his hands. If he was so happy to see him now, that would be weird.
"Young Master Jiu, I am a guest invited by the Yun family. Why can't I come here?" Tian Yang smiled, took out the jade ring and was about to hand it to the receptionist at the door for confirmation.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yao rushed out rudely, pushed him and said, "What a joke! Who do you think you are? Why would my Yun family invite you?"
Tian Yang was belittled by him again and again, and he was a little angry. He said in a deep voice: "What else? I'm not so bored that I would come to the Yun family to cheat!"
Yun Yao laughed and spread his hands: "Okay, you said you were invited, but where is the invitation? I have basically seen the guest list for tonight, and your name is not on it. If you are not bluffing, what are you?"
"What I despise the most is people like you. You just followed my fourth brother to participate in a competition, and when you heard that there was going to be excitement, you shamelessly came to take advantage of it!"
Tian Yang sneered: "There is no invitation, but the Second Master invited me in person. This is his token of trust."
The young man took out Yun Yuan's jade finger ring and was about to give it to the receptionist for verification. Suddenly, a hand reached out and snatched the jade finger ring away.
Yun Yao didn't even look at it, just threw it away and sneered: "You still don't give up. What is my second uncle's status? What is your status? Will he invite you in person? Who do you think will believe this?"
Indeed, Yun Yuan was the second in command of the Yun family, and he handled many important matters. Even the family competition not long ago was hosted by him personally.
As for Tianyang, almost no one knew him among the many guests here. Who would believe that the second in command of the Yun family would personally invite an unknown boy and even give him his token of trust
"Go away, this is not a place for someone of your status, so stop messing around here."
"Don't be too hard on him, he just looks like a big kid, he probably did it because he thought it was fun."
"Fun? Can you play with this kind of thing casually? This is the Yun family, the most noble of the Qingtian family. Is he worthy of it?"
The guests around were talking about it, and some even blamed Tianyang.
Tianyang's face gradually turned cold, and he looked at Yunyao deeply. The Ninth Young Master was feeling very proud, and he secretly said in his heart that he was very happy, and he finally got his revenge for the arrow shot in the competition.
Suddenly Tianyang stared at him, and he felt cold all over, as if he was falling into an abyss.
Fortunately, this feeling comes and goes quickly.
But when he came to his senses, he found himself taking three steps back and his face felt hot.
I was actually frightened by his gaze
The young master was immediately furious and shouted, "Why don't you leave? Come on, kick this shameless guy out!"
At Yun Yao's command, several Yun family guards appeared. At this moment, someone shouted, "Stop!"
hand!"
"Who dares to meddle in the affairs of my Yun family!"
When Yun Yao saw someone interfering, he became furious and screamed.
At this time, the crowd parted and someone came walking towards them with an angry face. It was Yunze.
Behind Yunze, there are some familiar faces, namely Bai Wuji, Bai Yinglan and Xiaoniao.
Bai Wuji looked straight ahead, with no sign of Tianyang in his sight; Bai Yinglan nodded to the young man with a smile and greeted him; the bird even ran over directly, with a look of joy on its face.
Yunze strode to the door and raised his hand. In his hand was the jade ring that Yun Yao had thrown away.
"Fourth... Fourth Brother, what are you doing?" Yun Yao saw Yun Ze's angry face and was a little flustered, but he still insisted, "I did nothing wrong. That kid was so bold that he dared to take something and said it was a token of my second uncle."
"But the problem is, this is indeed Second Uncle's finger!" Yunze lowered his voice and said, "And even if it's not, you shouldn't handle it this way. You're not being dignified at all. Where is the reputation of our family?"
Yun Yao felt a chill on his back and murmured, "I, I..."
"You go down, I'll take care of this." Yunze waved his hand, put away his jade finger, came to the door, and laughed, "Everyone, let me introduce, this is Tianyang."
Yunze walked to Tianyang's side, and immediately made the young man the focus of the scene: "He is a good friend of our Yun family. Yunyao was just playing a joke on him just now. I hope I didn't scare anyone."
"So it was a joke. I was saying, who dares to joke with the Yun family, especially Second Master Yun? Isn't he tired of living?"
Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was definitely not a joke, since Young Master Yunze had said so, naturally no one was stupid enough to correct him.
Not to mention people of their class, even people at the bottom of society know that sometimes they have to be confused.
Next, Yunze invited the guests to enter. After the crowd dispersed, he looked at Yunyao and said, "Xiaojiu, go in quickly and don't make any more trouble tonight. Also, don't think that this matter will just pass. Tianyang was a guest personally invited by Second Uncle. Not only did you stop him from talking, but you also threw away Second Uncle's token. I will explain this matter to Second Uncle in detail, and you should prepare to explain it to him yourself!"
Yun Yao's face suddenly turned pale, and when he looked at Tianyang again, his eyes were full of resentment.
Yunze frowned slightly, then invited Tianyang and the Bai brothers and sisters to come in.
Arriving at the reception hall, the Bai siblings and Yunze attracted a lot of attention. Soon they were surrounded by guests and became the focus of the hall.
Tianyang and Xiaoniao, on the other hand, had no one around them, so they just hid in a corner and chatted.
"Tianyang, you are such an idiot...Mr. Yun invited you here? You are so honored. I am only able to come here to learn more thanks to the help of the Bai family."
Xiaoniao called a servant who was passing by, took two drinks and a small snack, and pulled Tianyang and said, "This is a rare opportunity. Come and try the Yun family's snacks. I heard that they have their own chef, and the food they make is better than outside restaurants."
The girl had already put a piece of green pastry into her mouth, which made Tianyang laugh.
Outside the Yun residence, Gao Yue had just arrived, and his attendants were holding gifts and following him to the main gate. From a distance, Gao Yue saw Yun Yao, and saw that the ninth son of the Yun family was angry, with his hands clenched into fists, and his whole body was shaking with anger. He was very surprised... ... .
