The next day.

sunny.

The spring sunshine shines down.

The ancestral home of the Gu family is a lively and festive scene.

The servants started busy early in the morning, arranging everything needed for the engagement party in the evening.

The entrance to the ancestral house.

All kinds of luxury cars come in an endless stream.

After receiving the invitation, all the wealthy families in the capital came to visit the Gu family's ancestral home.

This engagement party for the Gu family heir is no small matter.

At first, everyone just thought that Gu Qian had married a female artist in the entertainment industry. Many people were still contemptuous and didn't take it too seriously.

But as the Jiang family announced Jiang Li's true identity.

The original female entertainer in the entertainment industry suddenly became the second young lady of the Jiang family who had been missing for many years.

The engagement banquet also became a marriage between the Gu family and the Jiang family.

The powerful alliance between two of the four worlds has great significance for the situation in the entire capital city.

"I heard that Teacher Jiang Li is actually the second young lady of the Jiang family?"

"real or fake?"

"It's true that the Jiang family has made it public, and President Jiang Mingyi and Jiang also expressed his opinion on Jiang Li's identity."

"..."

The guests were talking a lot.

Most people still have great doubts about Jiang Li's identity as the second young lady of the Jiang family.

This time I came to attend the engagement banquet of two families, actually with the intention of testing it.

The entrance of the mansion.

The uncles from the second and third bedrooms were at the door to greet the guests.

The old men from the two major branches were sitting in the lobby.

Only Gu Qian and his father, who has been hospitalized for a long time, are still alive in the direct line, so naturally only old guys like them can handle the engagement party.

"Isn't Qian'er here yet?"

Han Wenru glanced around.

Gu Qian grew up in the Jin family, and as half a "mother" she was also busy organizing the engagement party.

Jin Shenhan was chatting with some friends present.

He is now in a semi-retired state. He no longer controls the family's power as hard as before, and begins to delegate more power to Jin Lanting to handle affairs.

"Going to the hospital."

"Is your eldest brother sick?"

Han Wenru looked at Gu Yao and asked with some surprise. Her relationship with the second young master of the Gu family was relatively normal.

But he is already regarded as the other party’s elder.

Gu Yao shook his head slightly and said indifferently: "Sanitarium."

Three words.

Han Wenru understood the meaning as soon as he said it and did not continue to ask any more questions.

Not long after.

People from the Jiang family have also arrived.

Jiang Fu brought Qi Wenjun, Jiang Mingyi and Jiang Mingxuan to the Gu family's ancestral home, and they came to attend the engagement banquet as their natal family members.

"Wenjun, come on, come on, I'm so busy on my own."

Han Wenru looked at Qi Wenjun and urged, with a hint of complaint in her tone: "Why don't you, a mother, care at all about your daughter's engagement party?"

"I'm coming."

Qi Wenjun also immediately came over.

She was dressing up at home early in the morning. If Jiang Fu and his two sons hadn't been urging her, she would have arrived even later.

The relationship between the Jiang family and the Jin family is not easy.

However, the relationship between the two ladies is still good, and now that Gu Qian and Jiang Li have this relationship, they naturally have a bit of a sisterly relationship.

but.

Jiang Fu and Jin Shenhan looked at each other and snorted coldly, still looking at each other with disgust.

——

the other side.

The black Rolls-Royce was driving on the elevated road in Beijing, but its destination was not the ancestral home of the Gu family.

Gu Qian and Jiang Li were sitting in the back seat.

Jiang Li has exquisite makeup on her face and wears a dignified and elegant cheongsam.

Gu Qian is also wearing a customized black suit.

The two of them dressed up to attend.

Gu Qian held Jiang Li's hand throughout the whole process and asked in a gentle voice: "Are you nervous?"

"fine."

"My dad is in a nursing home and his condition has not improved. There should be no way for us to visit him."

"That……"

"Let's just go and take a look. There's an engagement party waiting for us at the ancestral home."

"good."

Jiang Li held Gu Qian's hand tightly.

She could feel the sadness on Gu Qian's body, the kind of sadness that was deliberately concealed and unwilling to be noticed by herself.

in this world.

Gu Qian's only relatives are actually his father and younger brother.

My father was suffering from a serious illness and was staying in a sanatorium. He said he was recuperating, but in fact he was relying on expensive equipment and medicines to survive.

Because of the younger brother's "fighting for the heir", the relationship between the two brothers has never been good.

She had experienced this feeling of being unaccompanied in Lantian Welfare Home, so she could understand the sadness in Gu Qian's body.

The black Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the nursing home.

This is a private sanatorium, funded and built by the Gu family, which has attracted the world's top doctors and various medical equipment.

There is only one patient.

Enter the sanatorium.

The somewhat bald dean slowly walked out, looked at Gu Qian and said respectfully: "Young Master, Young Madam."

"Um."

Gu Qian nodded slightly and asked in a calm tone: "I brought my wife over to see my father. How is my father's condition now? Has it improved?"

Questions asked.

But Gu Qian seemed to already know the answer in his heart.

The dean shook his head slightly and said in a helpless voice: "Master Gu's body is already at the end of its strength. All we can do is maintain the status quo and try our best to prevent the condition from getting worse."

"Well, what about visitation?"

"This... can only be done through the recuperation cabin. The head of the Gu family is often in a state of confusion, so we may not be able to visit him from a distance."

"Take us to see it."

Gu Qian's tone was calm throughout the whole process, and he was not surprised by the dean's answer.

The two of them followed the dean and walked towards the ward.

It is more like a huge space capsule than a ward.

Jiang Li looked at everything in the healing cabin.

There are various medical instruments and equipment that have never been seen before, and various curves are moving on more than ten electronic screens, monitoring the patient's physical data.
