Sha Sha, you really are... such a straightforward woman.
Gu Yuzhi couldn’t help but sigh internally. The topic he painstakingly diverted just went to waste.
Bao Gucheng remained calm and composed, softly replying to Gu Qiusha’s question: "What Miss Gu said is true. Since you’re busy with writing, it indeed would be beneficial to have a man to take good care of Zuzi’s daily needs."
Gu Qiusha clapped and laughed: "Mr. Bo, you really know how to speak to my taste!"
Gu Yuzhi’s expression subtly changed.
Daily, needs.
Why did he feel that these last two words had impure motives?
Could it be that this brat Bao Gucheng is offering himself with ill intentions?
He almost instinctively interrupted: "Dating in college is inappropriate!"
Gu Qiusha was puzzled: "Brother, why is it inappropriate? This is college, not high school. Even in high school, as long as it doesn’t affect studies and doesn’t involve kissing or touching, I think it’s fine... Brother, you seem a bit old-fashioned lately."
Gu Yuzhi’s face turned red: "It’s because... it affects studies! It affects academic endeavors..."
While Gu Yuzhi was trying to find reasons to stop it, unexpectedly, Mr. Gu at the main seat spoke up: "Yuzhi, I disagree with you on this. Academic efforts can progress together too. The feelings in campus are the purest. If Zuzi can find an excellent male classmate as a life partner, I support it!"
Gu Yuzhi: "Dad!"
Mr. Gu glared: "What ’Dad’? You’re of age yourself, yet neither dating nor marrying—aren’t you ashad to speak? People might think you’re physically incapable, do you realize that?"
Hahaha.
Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
Even Xi Rubao looked over with a smile and nodded: "Xiao Yu should be more proactive."
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
With all his efforts to fend off suitors for Zuzi, he ended up being the clown himself?
Left with no choice, being the target of everyone’s stares, he had to compromise slightly: "Alright, but if Zuzi gets a boyfriend, she must bring him back for us to review first."
Everyone burst into laughter again: "Review? Hahaha, big brother, as expected of a lawyer, do you think eting the family is like reviewing a legal docunt?"
Bao Gucheng especially glanced at him: "Do you think a man like you who’s never been in love has the experience to review soone?"
Everyone was already laughing, almost rolling on the floor: "...Hahaha."
Gu Yuzhi’s veins throbbed on his forehead: "..."
Bao Gucheng, you! You’ve gone too far!
Luckily, the restaurant’s television began broadcasting current news, catching everyone’s attention and providing him relief from the situation.
However, this news report quickly turned the joyous dining atmosphere into sothing heavy and awkward.
It was a brief criminal news report.
The broadcast had pixelated the face of a woman, and her na was blurred out as: Gu Mouchi.
Yet, from both the silhouette and the na, everyone present imdiately knew who it was.
The news report stated that this Gu Mouchi, guilty of treason, had committed suicide in custody from fear of punishnt, sharpening one end of her toothbrush into a spike to pierce her own heart, confird dead by the forensic doctor in the evening.
Gu Shiyin had just been detained, yet she committed suicide before the sentencing!
Was this a suicide from guilt, or a way to avoid bearing a shaful conviction and spending life in prison? Given all the cris she committed under various aliases, even if she didn’t die, she’d likely be in jail for the rest of her life.
The sudden news of her death was so abrupt that the Gu Family, as relatives, hadn’t received any notification yet, only to see the result on television.
The joyful family dinner atmosphere was imdiately destroyed.
Gu Qiusha was the first to nervously look at Mr. Gu.
She had just heard about Gu Shiyin from Xi Rubao, and hadn’t had the chance to report it to Mr. Gu. If Mr. Gu found out at this mont that it was Mr. Bo himself who sent Gu Shiyin in, with Zuzi’s help, would he flip the table in rage?
After all, the fifth sister is still blood-related to the Gu Family.
