Jin Family Mansion.
yard.
Jin Lanting pushed open the gate of his yard, and saw Gu Qian and the three sitting inside at a glance.
"Brother Jin, what's the matter?"
Jiang Mingxuan asked for the first time.
Jin Lanting asked calmly, "What's the situation?"
"You and Uncle Jin."
"..."
"Have you reached a settlement now, or have the conflict deepened?" Jiang Mingxuan asked without hesitation.
Gu Qian ignored it at all, and ate the grapes brought by his servant.
Jin Lanting sat down on the chair, and said in a casual tone: "I will take over the Jin family's family business in two days."
This can be regarded as a kind of compromise from him to the family.
Since he was a child, he has enjoyed the life of his family's bells and whistles, and this is indeed his duty.
"Have you figured it out?"
Gu Qian glanced at Jin Lanting, and there seemed to be some deep meaning in his words.
Jin Lanting nodded seriously, and his expression became serious: "It's time to calm down after playing for so long, remember to come and help me hold the battle later."
"it is good."
Gu Qian nodded, eating grapes on his own and felt that they were not as tasty as last night's grapes: "Then is your marriage settled?"
"No."
Jin Lanting shook his head slightly, and said in a firm tone: "The family will not interfere in my marriage anymore."
This is where he needs the family to compromise.
Otherwise, the two sides can only continue in a stalemate, and there will never be a solution to the problem.
"Brother Jin, about your going abroad..."
Jiang Mingxuan wanted to ask the other party if he planned to go to Switzerland to find Xiao Chuchu, but he swallowed the words again.
Jin Lanting seemed to see the question Jiang Mingxuan wanted to ask, and said in a helpless tone: "After officially taking over the entire family business, I guess I will stay in the capital for a long time, and I don't have time to leave, let alone go abroad."
"..."
The topic is on point.
Both of them knew Jin Lanting's final plan.
one morning.
The three brothers stayed in the yard chatting casually.
The topic basically revolves around Jin Lanting, mainly to analyze some troubles that Jin Lanting may encounter if he wants to take over the family.
Gu Qian said in an orderly manner.
Jiang Mingxuan, on the other hand, listened to it as if he was listening to a book from heaven, and he was taken aback for a while.
He has no experience with these family power struggles.
If his elder brother was present, he might be able to chat with Gu Qian back and forth.

the other side.
kitchen.
Han Wenru and Jiang Li came to the kitchen.
Jiang Li was still helping, watching this gentle and wealthy lady busy in the kitchen herself.
"Lili, have you and Gu Qian paid New Year's greetings to the elders of the Gu family?"
Han Wenru asked casually.
Jiang Li shook her head slightly: "After going out, Gu Qian and I went to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi, and then came directly to Jin's house."
"Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun?"
Han Wenru was a little surprised, but the gentle expression on his face did not change at all, and his voice was as soft as ever: "Did you go to the Jiang family's old house first? No wonder that kid Mingxuan came here with you."
"We went to Brother Jiang Mingyi's house. His house is next to Gu Qian's, 100 meters away. When we went out, we stopped by."
"Did Jiang Fu and Qi Wenjun stay at the ancestral house on New Year's Day?"
Han Wenru's complexion changed, obviously he did not expect this, after all, these two are the head and wife of the Jiang family.
On such an important day as the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family did not go back to the ancestral house but lived in Jiang Mingyi's villa.
This is somewhat surprising.
"Uncle Jiang and Aunt Qi came here on New Year's Eve. They should want to reunite with Brother Jiang Mingyi and Mingxuan."
"Ah."
Han Wenru nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The smell of stewed meat wafted from the kitchen.
Jiang Li watched Han Wenru gradually get busy with what she was doing, and asked curiously, "Aunt Han, did Jin Lanting and Uncle Jin quarrel this morning?"
"Well, neither of them makes people worry."
Han Wenru sighed, took Jiang Li's hand and sat in the yard outside the kitchen.
The servant stepped forward quickly and offered tea.
Han Wenru explained in a gentle voice: "Shenhan and I took Jin Lanting to several other wealthy families early in the morning, which are the blind dates arranged by Shenhan for that brat."
"I didn't know until we got there. That brat didn't say anything during the blind date, but kept talking about how many ex-girlfriends he had in the entertainment industry..."
"The little girls on the blind date were all scared away."
"It is estimated that no wealthy family in the entire capital is willing to marry their daughter to our Jin family."
When Han Wenru mentioned this topic, he couldn't help but feel a little sullen.
Jiang Li couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this.
This is indeed something that Jin Lanting's character can do.
"Forget it, don't talk about them."
Han Wenru shook his head, not wanting to bring up the long-standing conflict between Jin Shenhan and Jin Lanting's father and son, looked at Jiang Li and asked warmly, "Is the Gu family already preparing for the engagement banquet between you and Qian'er?"
"should be……"
Jiang Li was a little uncertain, she just heard Gu Qian mention this matter.
In the past few days, you may need to tailor your clothes or something.
"There is one thing, you may have to be mentally prepared." Han Wenru looked at Jiang Li seriously and warned.
"what?"
"The eldest lady of a wealthy family looks glamorous, but she actually has a lot of troubles."
Han Wenru said.
She is the eldest wife of the Jin family, so she is naturally the most convincing.
"After you marry into the Gu family, you will probably have less time to develop in the entertainment industry, and you need to start slowly to master some internal affairs of the Gu family."
"Aristocratic families are traditionally dominated by men outside and women inside. Qian'er will need to control the family business in the future, but you will inevitably be in charge of all affairs in the family."
"This may seem like a lot of power, but it's also extremely tiring."
When Jiang Li heard this, her eyes moved slightly: "After that, I can't continue filming in the entertainment industry?"
"Uh-huh."
Han Wenru nodded slightly, and explained: "You should have met some elders from Gu Qian's branch, right?"
"I have seen."
Jiang Li nodded, she had already met the two elders with the highest seniority in the Gu family, the two old men from the second and third rooms.
"Although those people now recognize Gu Qian's position as the heir, they still have doubts about your identity."
"This is the deep-rooted concept of the older generation of the aristocratic family. Even if Qianer subdues the people in the branch, it will be difficult to change their concept."
"If you still show your face in the entertainment industry after you marry into the Gu family and spend a few months or even half a year in the crew, firstly, the power of the Gu family's inner house will fall to the side, and secondly, the elders of the branch will criticize Qian'er."
Jiang Li felt a little flustered in her heart, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Yeah, I see."
