Gu Xiong understood what Gu Xiangning meant, that is, Gu Xiangning understood that Qian Jiujiu could not be a threat to him. Thinking of this, Gu Xiong sighed.
Gu Xiangning was the child he trained according to the requirements to become the island master of Mingyue Island. Naturally, he was the best person on the entire Mingyue Island.
The father and son discussed it and began to prepare. First, they called the housekeeper, then started to select invitations and announce the news, which took an entire afternoon.
The whole island knew that the island owner's biological daughter had returned, and the island owner was going to hold a welcome party for his daughter, and the restaurants were also on high alert.
They hoped that the banquet at the Island Lord's Mansion would be held at their restaurant. After all, this was another opportunity to gain face in front of the people on the island. While Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman were still outside purchasing things.
When she heard about this matter, it had already spread widely. Xiaoman glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Sister, it seems that the island owner really cares about you."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "He looks like a good person, but who knows what kind of person he is!"
Xiaoman didn't say anything. She just watched Qian Jiujiu buy more and more things, then she called Qian Jiujiu and went back to the island owner's mansion together.
When the two returned to the island, Wanyin and the maids had already done everything according to Qian Jiujiu's instructions, and Wanyin was still looking at Qian Jiujiu with a happy face.
"Jiu'er, have you heard the news outside? Your father is going to recognize you and restore your identity as a young lady. Mother is very happy. Nothing can make me happier than this."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Wanyin who was so happy and touched her nose. It seemed that her mother was extremely persistent about her identity.
Seeing Wanyin nod, she said, "Mom, I understand. I am very happy too."
Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman looked at each other, and both of them didn't know what to say. In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet arrived, and so many days had passed.
Qian Jiujiu also discovered one thing, that is, the woman who was rumored to be her mother's good friend, Zhang Qiqi, who is now her second aunt, has never appeared once.
Didn't they say they were good friends? Why didn't he come to see his good friend's biological daughter even after she came back? Qian Jiujiu was very interested in Zhang Qiqi.
The poison in Wanyin's body was actually a kind of insect. Once it enters the human body, it will continue to suck the blood and energy in the body. Every time it sucks the blood, the person who is poisoned will feel uncomfortable.
The later the stage, the less Qi and blood there are, while the more poisonous insects there are competing for Qi and blood. People will reach a state of life where they can neither live nor die.
Fortunately, in the past few days, Qian Jiujiu cut off the source of the poison and also gave Wanyin a cure. Wanyin seemed to be getting much better during the banquet today.
She was also wearing a bright red dress, which made her look very elegant. The island owner Gu Xiong could not take his eyes off her. Qian Jiujiu and Xiaoman standing next to her also noticed the state of the island owner Gu Xiong.
I couldn't help but laugh, but then I saw a woman who looked about the same age as Wanyin walking in from the door, dressed like a lady.
The reason why Qian Jiujiu noticed her was because when that woman came in, especially when she looked at Wanyin, there was a flash of hatred in her eyes, which Qian Jiujiu could tell.
This is a woman who hates Wan Yin, and it seems she is hiding it very well. Thinking of this, Qian Jiujiu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Gu Xiong and Wan Yin over there had already seen the person coming in, and greeted him quite warmly.
"Second brother and sister, you are here."
After Gu Xiong finished speaking, he glanced behind the woman and realized that she came alone. He then asked, "Why are you alone? Where is your husband?"
Zhang Qiqi glanced at Gu Xiong; "My husband is still behind, I am worried that there are too many things to do here and my sister-in-law may not be able to handle it, so I want to come over early to help."
When Wanyin heard this, she quickly thanked him: "Qiqi is really thoughtful. Jiuer, come here. This is your second aunt. Call her."
Qian Jiujiu's eyebrows flickered. So this was Wan Yin's legendary best friend who grew up together? But I don't know why she hated Wan Yin
She couldn't figure out the problem, and on the other side, Wanyin asked her to call someone. Qian Jiujiu had no choice but to greet her, "Hello, Second Aunt."
Zhang Qiqi looked at Qian Jiujiu in front of her, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and looked at Qian Jiujiu: “You must be Jiujiu, I haven’t come to see you for so many days since you came back.”
"It's really your aunt's fault. It's just that your uncle went crazy a few days ago and insisted that there was something wrong at home and wanted to investigate. That's why your aunt didn't have time to see you."
"Here, this is a gift from your second aunt, please don't despise it, Jiujiu."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Zhang Qiqi's purse, which was shining with a golden layer, and the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. It seemed that Zhang Qiqi was extremely impatient with her.
Qian Jiujiu remained expressionless, and after a long pause, he looked at the purse: "Why would I dislike it? After all, this is a token of my second aunt's love."
Just as I was about to reach out to take it, Xiaoman suddenly jumped out and said, "This purse is so beautiful, can you let me see it?"
As she spoke, Xiaoman had already reached out and took the purse, looking at Qian Jiujiu: "Sister, let me help you put it away, and I'll show it to you later."
Qian Jiujiu nodded and watched Zhang Qiqi's expression change and then quickly return to normal. Qian Jiujiu suddenly understood that this woman came here today to cause trouble.
It seemed that he had to cheer up as well. He glanced at Xiaoman with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Then Xiaoman, you must keep this purse well. After all, it is a gift from your second aunt."
Xiaoman and Qianjiujiu are such a tacit understanding people. As soon as she heard these words, she understood that there was indeed something wrong with the purse of feelings. Just now, she looked at Qianjiujiu for a long time without taking the purse.
They guessed it, so Xiaoman rushed out at this time, but Gu Xiong and Wanyin didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all and thought that the atmosphere was very good.
Looking at Zhang Qiqi: "I think it's almost time, let's go and welcome the guests in."
Gu Xiong's gaze turned to Qian Jiujiu again: "Jiu'er, let's go. Those who are here today are some of the best people on the island. Let everyone get to know you."
Qian Jiujiu nodded, and the group walked out together. There were already people coming and going at the gate, and the people coming in were all dressed nicely.
Qian Jiujiu had always known that the people on this island were self-sufficient and had a good quality of life. It was only after witnessing this banquet today that Qian Jiujiu realized this.
This island is very wealthy. A banquet here almost surpassed the state banquet of the Great Zhou. Qian Jiujiu's mouth twitched. It seemed that the island owner's mansion was very rich.
However, there is still a big gap compared to modern times. After most people had arrived, Gu Xiong, who was standing at the first seat, raised his glass and looked at everyone.
"First of all, this island master is very grateful to everyone for coming to attend my daughter's homecoming banquet. After today, this island master plans to let my daughter return to her ancestral home. Here, let me introduce my daughter, Qian Jiujiu, to everyone."
Qian Jiujiu stood up with a smile but did not say anything. Looking at the looks of these people, some of them had sincere smiles in their eyes. After all, there was not much excitement on this island.
The news that Wanyin was pregnant and missing was definitely a big deal. Now, after so many years, Wanyin has come back with her eldest daughter. Some people are truly happy for the island owner.
Of course, there were still some people who were unhappy, but at this time, they all endured it. Qian Jiujiu also discovered one thing, that is, Gu Xiang, who had planned to give her an explanation a few days ago, did not come today.
Qian Jiujiu narrowed her eyes and knew that today would definitely not be peaceful, but she didn't know in what form this incident would break out.
Qian Jiujiu said that she was still looking forward to it. After meeting everyone, Qian Jiujiu sat down. Island owner Gu Xiong was really happy today, and his whole face was filled with joy.
Looking at everyone, "Well, from now on Jiu'er will be the eldest daughter of Mingyue Island. I will officially change my name..."
"I disagree."
Just when the island owner Gu Xiong was about to change Qian Jiujiu's name, Gu Xiang walked in, looked at Gu Xiong, and said these four words.
Gu Xiong was stunned for a moment, obviously confused: "Second brother, what are you doing?"
Gu Xiang just snorted coldly: "Brother, I'm not making a fuss. I'm just wondering if this Qian Jiujiu is a descendant of our Gu family."
Next to Gu Xiang, there was a girl standing. The girl looked younger than Qian Jiujiu. When the girl looked at Qian Jiujiu, she looked at him with disdain.
As if looking at something dirty, Qian Jiujiu knew the identity of this girl, because he had heard about it as soon as he arrived that there was a pearl on this island.
It was Gu Yun, the daughter of Mr. Gu and Zhang Qiqi. Everyone said that Zhang Qiqi had taught her daughter well, but the strange thing was that Gu Yun was already 17 years old this year, and there were countless people who came to her house to propose marriage.
But Zhang Qiqi's family didn't agree, but she didn't know why. Anyway, Gu Yun's reputation spread. For such a person.
Qian Jiujiu knew of her existence on the first day, and today was the first time they met. He didn't expect to receive such a disdainful look and a condescending attitude.
Qian Jiujiu was a little uncomfortable. After seeing so many admiring eyes, she suddenly received a look of disdain. It was obvious how big a blow it was to Qian Jiujiu. Xiaoman burst out laughing.
"Sister, this is the first time I see someone looking down on you!"
Qian Jiujiu rolled her eyes: "Do I need her to look up to me? Look at her, she is full of temperament, and her face says, I am a princess, I am a proud little peacock, how funny."
