Gu Long smiled and said, "I agree to this marriage."

"What? Are you senile...?"

Gu Yuancheng abruptly stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.

Gu Yuanjian frowned as well. His father had always been upright and incorruptible, and always put the interests of the family first.

But why is he acting so strangely today, actually supporting Gu Ning's nonsense?

"Don't forget, when the Gu Group was facing a life-or-death crisis, if it weren't for the Ye family's timely help, would you be so wealthy today?"

"But......"

Gu Yuancheng wanted to say something more, but saw the old man glance at him indifferently and say, word by word.

"As a person, one must not forget one's roots!"

"There are many ways to repay a debt of gratitude. We could simply give the Ye family a sum of money. If we tie the Gu family to them, the Gu family will be in grave danger!"

Gu Yuanjian held up the tablet computer and showed it to Gu Long.

"While we were talking, our three largest partners have completely terminated their cooperation with us. Our initial estimate is that we'll lose at least five billion. Dad, you need to calm down!"

Gu Long didn't take these words to heart at all, as if the loss was only fifty yuan.

He looked at Gu Ning with a smile, "Good granddaughter, what do you say?"

With the old man's support, Gu Ning no longer had any reservations and spoke up boldly.

"When the Gu family was in trouble, the Ye family lent a helping hand. Now that the Ye family has fallen, the Gu family cannot sit idly by. I take responsibility for my actions; the difficulties are only temporary."

If I can secure the Li family's investment tonight, all my problems will be solved!

Gu Yuancheng scoffed, "Easier said than done. I've already done the research. The Li family's investment this time is mainly focused on the new energy sector. The Gu family started in pharmaceuticals; how could they possibly have a chance of winning?"

Gu Ning had already planned for this.

"I had already contacted Mr. Qian of Mars Technology to plan for the new energy sector. With the financial support of the Gu family and the technology of Mars Technology, we have a very good chance of winning tonight."

As they were talking, a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

Upon seeing him, Gu Ning said to his clansmen, "President Qian is here. I'll go talk to him. You all do as you please."

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, she walked towards the door, her skirt swaying.

The center of the banquet hall.

A large crowd had gathered here, and standing in the middle was Sun Shaozu, the protagonist of the evening.

He had a pair of captivating eyes, fair skin, and a very good appearance.

At this moment, he stared at Ye Chen not far away, his face full of anger, as if he wanted to tear Ye Chen apart and devour him alive.

Those around felt a chill and dared not speak loudly.

Sun Shaoguang grinned maliciously, "Brother, you wait, I'll help you vent your anger!"

After saying that, he called out to Ye Chen.

"Idiot, come here."

Ye Chen glanced at the group indifferently, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He was quite familiar with these people; they were just his lackeys back in school, and now they wouldn't even register on his radar.

He remembered that night five years ago, when Sun Shaozu and a few others were drinking with him.

My loss of memory and becoming mentally impaired are inextricably linked to them.

To find out who is targeting the Ye family, we must start with these individuals.

That's why he's here today.

Upon hearing Sun Shaoguang call him an idiot, Ye Chen quickly walked up to them and started shouting.

"You're the idiot, your whole family are idiots."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands while staring at Sun Shaozu and Sun Shaoguang.

"I remember you. You are Sun Da Gou, and you are Sun Er Gou."

Upon hearing this address, Sun Shaozu's face turned ashen, and he gripped the wine glass so tightly with his right hand that he almost crushed it.

Those around who knew the inside story began to whisper among themselves.

Back in school, Sun Shaozu and Sun Shaoguang, in an attempt to curry favor with Ye Chen, called themselves his two dogs and were quite pleased with the names Ye Chen had given them.

Time has passed, the Ye family has fallen into ruin, and these two names have become a dark chapter in their history, with no one daring to mention them anymore.

Surprisingly, Sun Shaozu did not get angry. Instead, he was incredibly enthusiastic towards Ye Chen, putting his arm around Ye Chen's shoulder and smiling broadly.

Seeing his smile, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Those familiar with Sun Shaozu know that this smile signifies his extreme anger at that moment.

"Young Master Ye, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? I remember you love steak. We have top-quality Japanese A5 steak here, would you like some?"

"I want to eat, I want to eat."

Ye Chen immediately clapped his hands happily.

"Okay, okay, I'll have someone get it for you right away."

Sun Shaozu gave a forced smile and instructed the people around him.

"Hurry up and get Young Master Ye a steak. Remember to add plenty of seasoning; Young Master Ye likes strong flavors."

Sun Shaoguang understood immediately and chuckled mischievously.

"Okay, I'll go get the steak for Young Master Ye right away."

"I'll go too."

"And me, one steak definitely won't be enough for Ye Shao."

The two brothers' lackeys were all excited and rushed to follow Sun Shaoguang away.

The group first took two steaks, then went to a corner to start cooking.

"Hehe!"

"Tui!"

......

Several people took turns adding ingredients to the two plates of steak.

Sun Shaoguang went even further, blowing a large clump of snot into the plate.

Seeing them like this, everyone else felt physically uncomfortable, and two women even started to vomit; it was truly disgusting.

Everyone looked at Ye Chen with pity.

He was once the noble young master of the Great Xia War God family, a prodigy with unparalleled literary and martial talents. If the Ye family had not lost power, or if Ye Chen was not a fool, even if the Sun Shaozu brothers had a thousand times the courage, they would not have dared to do this.

But now...

But despite the sympathy, no one stood up to stop it.

Standing up for Ye Chen at this time would be tantamount to going against the Sun family. No one would risk offending the powerful Sun family for the sake of the declining Ye family and a fool.

After spitting out their saliva, Sun Shaoguang and the others sprinkled some shoe sole dust into the plate before bringing over the steak.

"Young Master Ye, my brothers and I have been busy for quite a while preparing these two plates of steak. Come and smell them, don't they smell delicious?"

Ye Chen pretended to take a deep breath, his face showing a look of ecstasy.

"It smells so good, I can smell it even when you hold it in your hand."

"Hahaha......"

This remark immediately drew laughter.

Sun Shaozu brought the plate to Ye Chen with a mocking smile on his lips.

"It smells delicious, and it tastes even better. Young Master Ye, please try a piece."

"OK."

As Ye Chen spoke, he reached out and picked up a piece of steak from the plate, placed it in front of him and examined it, seemingly ready to eat it.

Looking at the sticky stuff on it, everyone felt nauseous and disgusted.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting to see the former genius young master of the War God family eating Lao Ba's secret-recipe steak."

"No, I have to quickly record it on my phone and post it online."

A young man in a sky-blue suit, his face full of mockery, hurriedly took out his phone.

Standing next to him was a woman in a white dress, who was none other than Liu Ruxue, who had just broken off her engagement with Ye Chen.

She frowned and said, "Young Master Han, isn't this a bit too much?"

Han Qiang chuckled upon hearing this, "Those who attend the banquet today are all rich and powerful. It's a blessing that fool has accumulated eight lifetimes of good karma to be able to eat their saliva and shoe dust. It's really a bit too much to treat him so well."

Liu Ruxue frowned even more. Although she had no relationship with Ye Chen anymore, she didn't want to see him suffer such humiliation.

She tried to go and stop them, but was blocked by the crowd, and it was too late.

However, at that moment, Ye Chen suddenly reached out and pinched Sun Shaozu's face.

No one knows what technique he used, but when Sun Shaozu was pinched like that, his mouth opened wide instantly, like a fledgling bird crying for food and waiting to be fed.
