Chapter 747: Opening Business 2_1
"Who knows." He Zhilan shook her head, "Can you ask your secretary to return it to the Gu Family later? Tell them the gift from the Gu Family is too valuable. I know very well that I don’t have much of a relationship with them, so I don’t dare to accept it."
"Okay." Lin Chan laughed, "You’re more considerate than I had imagined. I was worried that you would humiliate the Gu Family on the spot!"
"I’m not that stupid. If I really offended the Gu Family, not only would the Gu Family deal with me, but also a bunch of people under them. They all would scramble to handle me." He Zhilan gave a light smile, then said, "But really, if I accepted something from the Gu Family, even if it was just a needle, I would feel uncomfortable!"
In the evening, He Zhilan held a banquet at the hotel as a gesture of gratitude to all the people who came to support her. She also wanted to take this opportunity to meet more people.
During the banquet, Lin Chan’s assistant returned the gifts that the Gu Family had given earlier back to them, in the same condition as they were received.
After hearing what He Zhilan had said from Lin Chan’s assistant, Grandma Gu looked at Gu’s mother and said, "It seems Gu En’s classmate is resolutely not going to associate with our Gu Family. I guess she would have directly refused this gift if she hadn’t considered our family’s influence."
"She didn’t want a dime from the Gu Family even after Xiao’en almost took her life. It’s normal that she won’t accept this kind of indirect compensation." Mother Gu responded, then sighed, "However, now that she stands with Xing Ye, she is considered one of his people. Lan Li’s comrade in arms, her brother He Teng, will likely side with Xing Ye as well. I heard that He Teng had contact with Xing Ye when he was in S Province."
