After drinking a cup of tea, he slowly said, “I gathered everyone here today, not for anything else, but to make a decision. It’s time.”
Gu Liancheng paused for a moment. “It’s time to decide on the new head of the Gu family.”
In the capital, a black sedan quietly parked at the Victoria Port.
It was late at night and everything was still.
The autumn evening breeze was slightly chilly.
Men in black suits stood in rows beside the car. The car doors were tightly shut, but a man sitting in the backseat leisurely could be vaguely seen through the car windows.
The sounds of sirens came from a close distance away. Soon, a few grey cars drove over and stopped at the port. A group of men in black suits got out of the car and walked toward the rest.
A tall man in a suit walked to the car door and bowed respectfully. “Young Master, Luo Shengjie is here.”
The car window rolled down slowly, revealing a handsome and exquisite face.
A pair of sungla.s.ses perched on Gu Jinglian’s nose. However, it did not conceal his handsome facial features that were so perfect that not a single flaw could be found.
He raised his brows nonchalantly, while his s.e.xy lips curled into a devilish smile.
Just his smirk alone was enough to show his kingly aura—a power that he was born with.
The car door was pushed open, revealing two long legs. Wearing a tailored pair of pants and black dress boots, the man casually draped a black windbreaker over his shoulders and elegantly got out of the car.
His figure was extremely tall and slender. Even when dressed in a simple attire, he exuded unparalleled dignity and elegance.
However, when Luo Shengjie walked toward him, he realized that he was hugging a cute and beautiful ragdoll.
Currently, the ragdoll cat seemed to be in a deep sleep. With a lazy and docile demeanor, it stretched out its four paws and mewled softly.
It was a strange image to see such a proud, dictator-like figure hugging such a tiny cat.
However, when Gu Jinglian looked up, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. It was only then did Luo Shengjie realize that this man was indeed Gu Jinglian!
He was slightly stunned, suddenly finding this man before him a little unfamiliar.
In his memory, Gu Jinglian was cold and silent.
However, despite being so silent, the man in front of him exuded an aura that was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with menace and viciousness.
Vermillion Bird, who was hiding in Luo Shengjie’s team, looked up and sized Gu Jinglian up.
This was her first meeting with Gu Jinglian.
From what she recalled, when she first met this man, he emanated such a strong sense of pride that it could not even be masked by the darkness.
Very few words could accurately describe him.
If one had to describe him, his insufferably arrogant temperament definitely left a stronger first impression than his handsome features.
Gu Jinglian lazily hugged the cat with one hand, while casually shoving the other into the windbreaker’s pocket. Staring at Gu Jinglian, who had a cigarette in the corner of his mouth and a calm and elegant smile playing on his lips, Luo Shengjie could not help but fall into a daze.
He smiled and said, “Young Master, why did you suddenly come back? Where have you been for the past year? Our Master has searched everywhere for you!”
Gu Jinglian said, “I just received news that Father is holding a meeting with the elders to announce the new family head.”
Then, he raised his eyebrows. “I just came back to retrieve what rightfully belongs to me.”
