Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 560: If you ingratiated yourself with my Ancestor Grandmother, none of this would be a problem.

Chapter 560: 560: If you ingratiated yourself with my Ancestor Grandmother, none of this would be a problem.

The person in charge of hosting today’s banquet is Wan Lin, the eleventh-generation descendant of the Wan Family.

He had not met Jiang Ruolin, so when she entered, he didn’t approach her right away.

Or rather, he thought that the Jiang Family probably wouldn’t attend today either.

After all, other families had invited them before, but the Jiang Family seemed to keep a low profile and did not participate in these banquets.

So, he first sought out his childhood friend Gu Yuanqi.

The Gu Family and the Wan Family actually had some friendly relations and interactions.

It’s just that, in former years, the Wan Family was also helpless regarding the predicaments faced by the Gu Family.

No matter whether it was the Murong Family, the Ma Family, or other families that had their sights on the Gu Family, none were opponents the Wan Family could simply wrestle down.

The Gu Family did not blame the Wan Family, because at least the Wan Family often provided convenience and cover to ensure the safety of the Gu Family in transit.

In the younger generation, for example, Gu Yuanqi and Wan Lin were childhood friends who both grew up on Earth.

Both were individuals of average aptitude and descendants born on Earth.

However, one year ago, Wan Lin, with a breakthrough in his strength, was entrusted by the family to manage mid-level industries in the star system.

"Has it really been just one year? You’ve reached the Fourth Layer Heaven?" Wan Lin was surprised to find that his friend Gu Yuanqi had reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

Seeing him mingling and laughing with others, he approached.

"Mr. Wang, greetings."

The others greeted Wan Lin one by one and then excused themselves to leave.

"Quite the revelation, isn’t it?" Gu Yuanqi was somewhat proud, that feeling of secretly astonishing his peers was exhilarating.

Wan Lin laughed and gave him a fist bump, followed by a hug.

Actually, the reason Gu Yuanqi came to the banquet today was because it was hosted by Wan Lin.

It was a reunion after a long time apart.

Gu Yuanqi looked at Wan Lin, who was the main organizer today, and congratulated him: "Not bad, huh? You’ve been entrusted with responsibility by the family after just a year’s experience?"

Wan Lin smiled somewhat sheepishly: "You’re not doing too badly yourself. I heard you’re now in charge of most of the administration work on Earth."

The Wan Family had already come to congratulate and give gifts to the Gu Family for their extermination of the Murong Family and their revival.

"It’s mediocre," Gu Yuanqi laughed, and the two childhood friends engaged in a bit of mutual back-patting.

Wan Lin steered the conversation elsewhere: "I wanted to ask you about Miss Jiang Ruolin. I heard that she married someone from your Gu Family? Which uncle or senior is it?"

Gu Yuanqi immediately guessed his intentions: "What, does your family’s Ancestor still expect that mysterious person to come forward to help you clear dungeons? Haven’t your elders already approached our Ancestor? How did the discussions go on both sides?"

"It didn’t work out," Wan Lin said with a wry smile: "According to my Ancestor, even the Gu Family seniors can’t command that senior; whether he helps or not is up to his mood."

"That’s indeed the case," Gu Yuanqi nodded.

Inwardly he muttered: That’s the Taoist Ancestor, which of our family’s Ancestors would dare to disturb him? If you look across the entire Cultivation World, if he gets annoyed, he could suppress you just the same!

"Do you know much about this senior from your Gu Family?" Wan Lin asked Gu Yuanqi with keen interest.

Clearly, to become an outstanding successor in his family, Wan Lin was very concerned about this matter.

Inviting Jiang Ruolin this time was actually his own initiative, because the Wan Family Ancestor had already communicated with Gu Weiting, and the Gu Family seniors tactfully refused the Wang Family.

Thus, the Wan Family seniors wouldn’t have likely extended an invitation to Jiang Ruolin for the dungeon raid, but Wan Lin felt that since establishing connections was important, being redundant was no harm.

"This senior from our family, you better not..." Gu Yuanqi was about to pour cold water on his friend’s plan, but suddenly spotted Jiang Ruolin in a corner of the venue.

Ancestor Grandmother?

He thought he had seen wrong, but upon a closer look, even the Ancestor was beside.

Holy crap!

Following Gu Yuanqi’s gaze, Wan Lin asked him, "Who did you see?"

"You invited my family’s Ancestor here?" Gu Yuanqi blurted out.

Wan Lin was confused: "What Ancestor? Which generation’s Ancestor from your family?"

Gu Yuanqi wished he could spend more time with the Ancestor Grandmother. He hadn’t expected Wan Lin to actually invite her?

Without a doubt, the Ancestor must have come because the Ancestor Grandmother wanted to attend, so he accompanied her.

Gu Yuanqi had just taken a couple of steps, then thinking of his childhood friend, he turned back and patted Wan Lin on the shoulder, saying, "Don’t say I never gave you a chance as a brother."

He pointed toward Gu Feng in the distance and said, "See that senior over there? Take my word for it; he is a senior member of my Gu Family, with a status even higher than the Clan Leader. Whether your family’s proposal gets approved depends entirely on his mood. Of course, you won’t catch his eye just by being you. Even if your family’s Patriarch or seniors were here, it wouldn’t be enough. But see the woman next to him? That’s my Ancestor Grandmother, who is highly favored by my Ancestor. If you can sweet-talk and flatter her, and she agrees to your family’s business, then I can guarantee you a hundred percent success on your family’s proposal!"

"Really?" Wan Lin’s eyes immediately sparkled, and he wasted no time heading toward Jiang Ruolin.

But Gu Yuanqi quickly stopped him, saying in a low voice, "Don’t say I taught you this, alright?"

Wan Lin nodded.

The steward hurriedly caught up to him, saying, "Young Master, this is Miss Jiang Ruolin from the Jiang Family."

"She is Miss Jiang?" Wan Lin suddenly realized, now knowing that Jiang Ruolin belonged to the Gu Family.

Then perhaps Gu Yuanqi was not deceiving him, and maybe this senior was the key.

Then, the scene that Cui Xiu and others witnessed unfolded.

Today’s host, the young master Wan Lin, swiftly approached Jiang Ruolin and Gu Feng as they arrived, and with respectful hands clasped, he greeted: "I humbly welcome Senior Gu and Miss Jiang to the Wan Family’s banquet. Please, come inside quickly."

Seeing Wan Lin, the Wan Family’s representative, personally coming over to respectfully greet Gu Feng and Jiang Ruolin with a bow, naturally attracted attention from others.

Thus, every few steps the pair took, someone would approach to greet them in turn with a bow.

Although they did not know who Gu Feng was, Wan Lin’s attitude alone meant that they could not be taken lightly.

As Jiang Ruolin and Gu Feng were being led inside by Wan Lin, Cui Xiu and the Cui Family Patriarch also came forward to greet them.

Unaccustomed to such events, Jiang Ruolin happened to see Cui Lan.

How to describe this feeling?

It’s like when you feel out of place at an event, and suddenly you see someone you know. Inside, you feel a bit relieved because your focus shifts and eases your discomfort.

"Cui Lan?" Jiang Ruolin greeted Cui Lan.

Cui Lan had been arranging the fruit plates and buffet food on a table. Hearing her name called, she lifted her head, turned around, and saw it was Jiang Ruolin.

Cui Lan was stunned on the spot.

When a big shot calls your name, you should approach them rather than waiting for them to come up to you.

So she took the initiative: "Hello Miss Jiang."

Jiang Ruolin often dined at the restaurant managed by Cui Lan because she had a membership card there, and Cui Lan would never charge her money.

Although the two were not very close, Jiang Ruolin had a good impression of Cui Lan.

Perhaps because they both disliked Bai Suo.

"Are you busy? Would you like to sit inside with me?" Right now, Jiang Ruolin just wanted to find some company to avoid boredom.

"I’m not busy." Cui Lan certainly didn’t want to miss this opportunity: "If Miss Jiang needs anything, just let me know."

"Then let’s go." Jiang Ruolin took Cui Lan’s hand, and together they followed Wan Lin inside.

Watching this scene unfold, Cui Xiu and the Cui Family Patriarch were somewhat puzzled.
