Soon, it was the day of the dinner party.
Gu Wuji found a hidden place and used the disguise props, preparing for a quick victory tonight. After all, his disguise props could only last for a period of time. If his identity was exposed on the scene, it would definitely become a scandal!
The fact that a certain male star who had been in the limelight recently disguised himself as a woman to attend a banquet would definitely make headlines.
In the car, Xia Yangshuo was very nervous because of the banquet that was to follow. Even though he was fully confident about Gu Wuji’s strength and his psychological quality was pretty good, he still couldn’t help but feel anxious when faced with such a major event that could affect the entire trajectory of his life.
Gu Wuji began to recall the information Xia Yangshuo showed him before. It was said that the Xia family was considered a relatively well-established family in this city. But in fact, decades ago, there was a period of depression, and the head of the family at that time chose to let the then heir, the old man who was now choosing the heir, marry the daughter of a nouveau riche through a business marriage to save the family. The family’s financial situation, coupled with the fact that the heir himself was very capable, made the family business prosper.
What happened after that was so ridiculous that Gu Wuji felt that it was not really okay for him to read other people’s past gossip like this.
In fact, the heir also had a true love, so he was very cold towards his wife after marriage, and there was a vague tendency to rekindle his old love with his white moonlight. This white moonlight even got pregnant to provoke her. The wife was a strong-willed woman, and she committed suicide out of anger. It was said that her death was very miserable, leaving a psychological shadow on everyone in the old house.
Of course, the news was suppressed at the time, but if you really wanted to investigate, you could still find it, not to mention that Xia Yangshuo himself was from this family.
After that, there were rumors that the old house was haunted, and a young girl died mysteriously on the night she got married. From then on, whether because of guilt or fear, the old man never let his son get married again, and he left no descendants who could inherit the family.
But now it seemed that he finally couldn’t stand this anymore, so he held this banquet, as if he wanted to restore peace to this old house before he left.
Gu Wuji shook his head and said in a low voice: “This is also a bit unethical. At first, he relied on others to revive his family business, and then he actually cheated on her.”
Gu Wuji always looked down on a person who rode two boats. Although he happened to encounter the Shura field of two fierce ghosts… Gu Wuji could say with confidence that had no interest in anyone.
“Yes.” Xia Yangshuo seemed a little embarrassed. After all, this was a matter on his family’s side. “The old man and the others looked down on that woman as well, which led to such a tragedy. Master Gu, do you have a way to solve it?”
“I have to actually go and see it to find out.” Gu Wuji said.
It was impossible that the Xia family would not have asked someone to exorcise ghosts or do something for so many years, but the female ghost was still staying well, which showed that this matter was not simple.
Of course, Gu Wuji actually wanted to persuade this poor woman not to hang on a tree forever, but to pursue her new life, such as starting a new relationship or something.
Xia Yangshuo had no idea what Gu Wuji was thinking, and said worriedly, “Such a big thing happened in the bar last time. I suspect it has something to do with this banquet, and I don’t know what the situation will be.”
“If it does happen, there is nothing we can do. Even if we are unlucky, we can just find a way to escape.” Gu Wuji was very open to this kind of thing.
“That’s true. With Master Gu here, I feel relieved.” Xia Yangshuo made up his mind to make good use of the charm given by Gu Wuji this time.
While talking, the two of them had arrived at the Xia family’s ancestral home.
This was a luxurious mansion built on the mountainside. It was still splendid at night. It was surrounded by luxury cars and the servants were receiving guests.
As soon as Xia Yangshuo got out of the car, a servant came forward and led them into the banquet venue.
If you didn’t know the situation, you wouldn’t be able to tell what the purpose of this banquet was. After all, it looked too normal. There were even invited celebrities from all walks of life and some celebrities present to support the occasion.
Gu Wuji was even more glad that he had come in disguise, otherwise the atmosphere would have been too subtle.
After entering the venue, Xia Yangshuo immediately attracted the attention of many people. While greeting him, everyone began to wonder who the woman next to him, who seemed to have a good temperament but a very ordinary appearance, was.
Was it possible that Xia Yangshuo actually had such a taste? After all, even if he had any scandals in the past, he had never spoken out about it. As for bringing female companions to banquets, it was even rarer.
Everyone’s gossip sense was aroused for a while.
Xia Yangshuo immediately opened his mouth to explain, what a joke, how could he have the right to date Master Gu? It would be bad if Master Gu was displeased by this.
But at this moment, several other cousins from the Xia family who had not dealt well with him in the past came over.
The surrounding onlookers suddenly entered a state where the matter had nothing to do with them. After all, they all knew that these people would quarrel whenever they met, and they could rarely coexist peacefully. This was also the matter of the young masters of their Xia family, and they would definitely not be able to get it off if they got involved.
Then everyone noticed the eyes of these cousins fall on Gu Wuji. They immediately felt worried for this woman. Would she still be able to please these arrogant young masters of the Xia family??
The atmosphere seemed tense for a time. However, when these young masters of the Xia family, who looked proud, looked at Gu Wuji, they instantly became very friendly. No, others even felt that they saw the intention to please in their eyes!
Passers-by were shocked as to who this unattractive-looking woman was! Not only could she become Xia Yangshuo’s female companion, but other young masters of the Xia family also treated her with such respect. Could it be that she was the daughter of some wealthy family from somewhere else?
….
Completely different from what others thought, the content of the greetings between these Xia family members and Gu Wuji at this time was…
“Master Gu, you are finally here. After what happened last time, I have always wanted to thank you formally. But Xia Yangshuo has been hiding your information. I don’t know if this is your instruction. But I feel so uncomfortable without thanking you. Please let me send you money!”
While speaking, he did not forget to stir up the relationship between Gu Wuji and Xia Yangshuo. It would be great if Master Gu could turn to them, although such a thing was obviously impossible… They were all jealous of Xia Yangshuo. Where on earth did he invite such a powerful master from?
As for Xia Pengyun, who had humiliated Gu Wuji several times in the bar last time, he simply didn’t come this time. He felt that he had no chance if he came. After offending Gu Wuji so severely last time, he was immediately frightened sick.
Xia Yangshuo’s face turned ugly after hearing what they said, they actually wanted to pry into his corner. Was he, Xia Yangshuo, such an easy person to bully? He immediately sneered and said, “Master Gu is not the kind of person who values money more than things outside of himself…”
Gu Wuji turned to look at him.
“Of course, if you insist on transferring money, you can transfer it to me first, and I will naturally transfer it all to Master Gu.” Xia Yangshuo immediately changed his tone.
And the masters that those people brought with them before were all here this time. After all, although they seemed unreliable in the bar last time, they were all people with experience and professional ability, and they may come in handy.?
These masters looked at Gu Wuji as if he were a senior, and they all spoke with honorifics. They even suspected that Gu Wuji looked young after practicing, but he was actually very old.
Gu Wuji: “…”
But judging from what they said, the bar was thoroughly investigated after the last incident, but nothing was found. The final outcome was that the bar was closed, and the boss died inexplicably in the office. The cause of death was still unknown.
The person behind it was quite hidden, even they couldn’t find out at all.
In fact, others had already made vague guesses, but since there was no evidence, they could not speak rashly.
Immediately, Ning Yang and Xia Wu also walked in. Of the two, Ning Yang seemed more like a young master, while Xia Wu followed behind him somewhat obediently. He didn’t even know how much mess he had taken care of for Ning Yang these past few days, it really made his heart tired.
Especially a few days ago, when Ning Yang inexplicably wanted to see a certain star’s filming set, which scared him to think that the other party wanted to have unspoken rules with the male star… However, it seemed that the other party was still devoted to Master Gu.
When Ning Yang saw Gu Wuji, his eyes lit up immediately and he hurried forward. It could be seen that he has been dressed up carefully today, and his appearance looks more handsome, which made people around him look at him.
Xia Wu was frightened when he thought about how long Master Ning had been struggling with styling today. In fact, he felt that Master Gu didn’t look like this at all. No, maybe he was simply not interested in men. But Ning Yang insisted on tossing around like this and there was nothing he could do.
Ning Yang and Gu Wuji chatted enthusiastically.
In fact, it should be said that it was an awkward chat. Ning Yang kept talking over there and nodding occasionally without any care.
Xia Yangshuo couldn’t help but feel sympathy again.
The topic lasted for a long time before finally reaching the key point. Ning Yang said: “Master Gu, you left in a hurry last time. In fact, I still have something to ask about the ghosts at that time…”
Gu Wuji’s attitude immediately changed, “Do you have any thoughts about the people behind the scenes?”
Hearing Guan Wuji say so many words to him, Ning Yang was so moved, that he said: “I am just guessing. From the techniques and layout of the scene… There are not many people who can do such a thing and be so ruthless.”
Gu Wuji felt that someone like Master Ning from the Ning family should not be very innocent. He had doubts about the bar incident before. Maybe it was the Ning family who did it, but Ning Yang’s attitude made him a little confused.
