No one quite understood what Zuzi’s question ant.
Bao Gucheng pondered briefly, then his lips parted slightly as he patiently replied, "If a product is bad, it can be remade; if a person is bad, there’s no saving them."
Zuzi smiled slightly, "I see."
Everyone exchanged looks, unsure why the two of them had this exchange. After thinking about it, they all assud that Zuzi was deliberately helping the old man smooth over this incredibly awkward matchmaking scene.
It wasn’t until Xi Rubao happily slapped the table and stood up: "Grandpa, I know what’s wrong now!"
"Take it easy, hey baby, your grandpa’s old heart can’t take it. Speak slowly, what’s the issue?"
"Grandpa, I know what’s unpleasant about Mr. Wu. He’s not like what Lady Shangguan said, just engaging in business competition to sell products. He’s just a bad person, and that’s why everything about him seems unpleasant."
The point she couldn’t articulate earlier was suddenly made clear by Zuzi, and she couldn’t be happier.
The old man didn’t care much, only saying, "A bad person? Ahem, you kids and your celebrity obsessions sure have made you sharp-tongued."
However, Shangguan Wanwan couldn’t help but retort, "You say Mr. Wu is a bad person, but do you have any evidence?"
"If there was evidence, would he still be able to show off on TV?" Xi Rubao retorted confidently, "Not everything is like your legal cases, needing a full set of evidence to reach a verdict. Besides, didn’t you almost lose that trial today by getting things nearly turned upside down, nearly letting the murderer Li ilian get away, having an innocent person take the bla?"
Shangguan Wanwan, choked into silence, found it awkward to deny or argue further, so she feigned humility: "Alright, Aunt won’t argue with you kids, you can like whichever celebrity you want, right, old man?"
"Yes, yes, Wanwan is generous, Wanwan is magnanimous. Hey, you all should learn from Wanwan, especially you, Yu Zhi! What are you standing there for? Serve Wanwan so rice, so soup!"
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
Why do I get the bla again? Can’t Bao Gucheng do the work?
With a glance, he saw that Bao Gucheng was already calmly pouring tea for Zuzi with one hand and serving her food with the other, busy as could be, no wonder the old man let him off, such cunning!
The al ended amidst verbal battles.
The old man still wanted everyone to accompany Shangguan Wanwan for a tour of the old house, have so tea and chat, but everyone found excuses to leave one by one.
Zuzi and the others needed to return to school, Gu Qiusha had to go to the Nangong Group to sign a contract, and Bao Gucheng naturally volunteered to drive them.
Gu Yuzhi, a step behind, quickly said, "The school and the Nangong Group are not on the sa route, I’ll take care of Sha Sha."
But the old man refused outright: "With Gucheng here, he can take care of them. Yu Zhi, you stay and keep your Cousin Wan company."
"I won’t!"
Always respectful to elders, Gu Yuzhi blurted out in frustration.
The old man was stunned for a mont, incredulous at his attitude, then suddenly clutched his chest, staggering back a few steps: "Urgh... you’re going to be the death of , my heart, my heart oh dear..."
Gu Qiusha wanted to laugh but had to hold it in, giving Gu Yuzhi a push: "Brother, just stay and take care of... your dear cousin Wan."
"I... Sha Sha... she’s not... sigh," Gu Yuzhi pinched his brow, helplessly helping up the old man, "Dad, where’s your quick heart redy? I’ll stay and keep you company for a while."
Zuzi and the others said their goodbyes, exchanged smiles at the door:
——The old man’s acting has improved again!
