Chapter 343: Chapter 343: They Will Die with the Hope of Inheriting the Gu Family’s Wealth Chapter 343: Chapter 343: They Will Die with the Hope of Inheriting the Gu Family’s Wealth At this moment, An Xiaotong was dressed in professional women’s attire, a blazer jacket over a white shirt paired with a matching wrap skirt. Her slim legs were accentuated by the cut of her skirt, and she wore black loafer shoes on her feet.

Her hair was swept up, making her look dignified yet elegant, but there was still a hint of greenness in her brows.

That greenness, mingled with her temperament, made her seem like a completely different person.

Standing beside her was Du Tian, his brows filled with an evident adoration.

Gu Qiaoqiao smiled and stepped forward; An Xiaotong took Gu Qiaoqiao’s hand, and they headed toward the grand entrance of the hotel.

Qin Yize and Du Tian exchanged smiles, following the two girls at a leisurely pace toward the entrance.

Today, both banquet halls here had been reserved by Old Patriarch Gu.

The banquet was to start at noon.

And at this moment, most of the guests had arrived early.

They were all heading for the banquet hall.

Some knew and wanted to see Lady Yu, an old acquaintance; others who did not know were shocked to discover that Elder Gu indeed had a biological son and his first wife.

And it turned out that Gu Cheng had been an adopted son of Gu Qingfeng.

This news could be considered the most explosive in the Imperial Capital at the moment.

So, it could be said that almost everyone from the capital’s elite circles was here today.

Thus, the dignitaries, who are rarely seen together, had gathered in one place.

Normally, such a banquet should be held in the evening, but since most of the attendees today were older, it had been switched to noon.

Standing in the lobby of Lijing Ho, Gu Qiaoqiao felt an indescribable complexity in her heart.

She saw Shang Qing, Bai Yun, and Sun Yingke, and also saw Chu Chengfeng leading the brothers from West City District, waving towards them.

Behind her, Ning Wanru and the Gu Cheng family were entering.

Today, Ning Wanru was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which concealed her drooping eyelids.

Her outfit was understated, befitting her current status and age.

From a distance, it was hard to discern her expression, but Gu Qiaoqiao felt a sinister sensation, as if being watched by a venomous snake.

Although it was fleeting, Gu Qiaoqiao sensed it instantly.

Maybe everyone, including the Old Patriarch, thought that by drawing a clear line, holding a high-profile recognition banquet for Gu Cheng to acknowledge his family roots, they would give up on coveting the Gu Family inheritance.

No more expectations, thus no more scheming.

Is that so?

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Ning Wanru, knowing that it was impossible; Ning Wanru would not easily let go of the Gu Family, a juicy morsel.

In just a few days, Ning Wanru seemed to have come to her senses about many things, perhaps finally accepting her aging appearance.

She had actually gotten herself a walking stick!

By her side were Gu Cheng and his wife, flanked by the sisters Gu Yajing and Gu Yalan. Next to Gu Cheng was Gu Jiansheng, and another young man standing with them was evidently Gu Chengzhi’s late-born son, Gu Jiangang.

Gu Jianhua was not present, but he had called the Old Patriarch, informing him that he would visit Lady Yu when he came to the Imperial Capital for a meeting.

Gu Qiaoqiao also knew that fifty years was a very long time. Over those decades, countless days had passed; how could the relationship between Ning Wanru, Gu Chengzhi, and the Gu Family be severed clean with just a few words?

They had been with the Gu Family for too long.

So long that everyone saw them as an inseparable part of the Gu Family.

Gu Qiaoqiao did not evade, because Ning Wanru was clearly heading straight for her.

Gu Yajing’s eyes were filled with jealousy and disdain.
