Mr. Gu’s remark stirred a wave of reactions.
Among the Gu Family, only Gu Jingyan remained calmly seated, while the others all jumped up from their chairs and gathered around Mr. Gu:
"Dad, you scared me to death, who did you have another granddaughter with?"
"No way, didn’t they say it was Xiao Sha’s... Damn, could it be that she’s the daughter of Fifth Sister Sha Sha?"
"Who did Sha Sha marry back then? Was it someone named Zhang or Li? What was this girl’s name again? Li Zuer? Or does she carry our family name, Gu Zuer?"
"She definitely doesn’t carry the Gu name! Dad, didn’t you drive Gu Qiusha out long ago? How come her daughter, an outsider, can still show up here? That’s too much of your authority..."
"Oh Dad, what Xiao Sha did back then wasn’t a small mistake, getting pregnant before marriage and marrying with a bastard child, it’s unforgivable!"
"Third Brother, don’t say that..."
The Gu family members reacted differently. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel_fіre.net
The second family was relatively decent, only somewhat shocked.
Gu Mingzhu was more reserved, barely speaking; while Gu Shiyin was subtle, probing around.
The third family was particularly agitated, afraid that Xi Zuer had come to contend with their Pingting for inheritance rights, continuously bringing up the past of Gu Qiusha being driven out.
Mr. Gu was so angry that he couldn’t lose his temper in front of the guests, his beard twitching.
Xi Zuer squinted, seeing their reactions, and began to understand why Gu Qiusha hadn’t been accepted back by the Gu Family all these years.
Even if the old man regretted it, there were unfilial descendants blocking him, not allowing him to reconcile with Xiao Sha.
With bright eyes and in a lazy tone, she said, "Oh, since the ancestors are still outsiders, then we won’t go in. Let’s part ways here. Little grass fish, let’s go."
She stepped towards the door to leave.
Xi Rubao, who was a step late coming from the restroom, was bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
But if Sister says to go, then we go. No matter how powerful the Gu Family is, we don’t care for it.
Seeing both granddaughters at the door, ready to leave out of anger, Mr. Gu could no longer care about his dignity and shouted at the third family, "Shut up, all of you."
Then he personally, leaning on a cane, tried to stop them, "Zuzi, Baobao, you’re already here, do you want your grandfather’s birthday to end in such an unhappy way? The birthday cake hasn’t even been cut yet!"
Xi Rubao: "..." Do I look like a kid greedy for your birthday cake?
Xi Zuer suddenly turned back, smiled sweetly, "Birthday egg? What is that?"
Mr. Gu was taken aback.
Then he wiped away an old tear.
Poor granddaughter never having a piece of birthday cake in the countryside all these years!!!
"Zuzi, Grandpa had the head chef make a three-layer birthday cake, cheese on one layer, strawberries on another, and raw chocolate on the last. You must try it. If you like it, I’ll have the head chef make a five-layer one for you tomorrow morning..." Mr. Gu said earnestly, personally holding Xi Zuer’s arm, bringing her inside.
Sister! You really don’t seem like an ancestor longing for birthday cake!
Watching Mr. Gu personally bringing Xi Zuer back.
The third family was envious!
Sun Jiao secretly pinched her husband Gu Pingzhi’s arm, giving him a sharp look: Think of something, you fool, your only daughter’s inheritance rights might be cunningly taken away!
And all those excellent mentors, professors, directors, all about to be snatched by an outsider, leaving your precious daughter without even a sip of soup!
