Outsiders can be turned away, but family is hard to restrain.
When a family boasts a top scholar, it's a cause for fireworks and grand celebrations in any household.
Madam Gu decreed that the banquet for this academic achievement must be nothing short of extravagant. She informed Gu Shiyan in advance, saying that a hundred tables would be booked at the grandest hotel, Hui Xian Pavilion, where esteemed figures from political and business circles would be invited, and if media and reporters wanted to join the commotion, they would not be turned away.
The intent behind her words was clear—to leverage Chi Yu's fame to secure a crucial deal for the Gu family.
