This invitation left everyone present stunned, except for Zuzi, who remained indifferent.
Xi Rubao was so shocked he couldn’t speak. Wasn’t mom banished from the Gu Family? Mr. Gu didn’t even want to ntion her na at the last birthday banquet, so why suddenly invite her back?
Gu Shiyin looked uncertainly at Mr. Gu, hoping the old man was just confused. How could he call the fifth sister back to share the inheritance?
The most shocked was Sun Jiao; it was as if she was struck by lightning.
Gu Qiusha is coming back?
Mr. Gu himself asked Gu Qiusha to return?
With one more person sharing the inheritance, their third branch would get less. She couldn’t allow that!
Why didn’t Gu Qiusha just die out there? She hasn’t shown up for years, but she’s here for the money? Shaless!
"Dad, wake up, Gu Qiusha was banished by the entire clan back then. How can you go back on your word?"
Sun Jiao scread in opposition.
At this mont, face doesn’t matter, gains are paramount; she must strive for the maximum benefit for Gu Pinting. Eliminating one enemy counts as one.
Mr. Gu looked at her with displeasure: "Back then was back then. Now she... I heard she’s divorced and has nothing to do with that bastard Xi Yuanshan."
He knew long ago Xi Yuanshan was no good. If Sha Sha hadn’t been pregnant and didn’t want the child to grow up without a father, he wouldn’t have allowed Sha Sha to marry that bastard even if it ant kicking her out.
"But Dad, even if she’s divorced, she can’t change the fact that she had a child out of wedlock!" Sun Jiao argued stubbornly based on reason.
Mr. Gu’s face turned very sour.
These senseless fools, none thinking about family reunion but creating obstacles?!
At this mont.
Gu Shiyin, feeling complex emotions, spoke softly as if helping Mr. Gu: "Third sister-in-law, calm down. Actually, Dad has considered all this. Our Gu Family ancestors have rules passed down that soone banished from the clan can’t return unless the entire clan agrees, and there’s a very stringent condition... only then can she be added back to the family genealogy. The reason Dad invited everyone to the family banquet, even those from overseas, is to see if the whole clan agrees. If they don’t, then naturally there’d be no next step. Right?"
Seemingly speaking for Mr. Gu, but actually reminding Sun Jiao, that when the ti cos, just vote against Gu Qiusha’s return, and it’s settled, right?
Arguing won’t help now.
After all, we hold the voting power. It’s one person, one vote in the Gu Family, quite fair.
It’s best to gather so relative votes against her and let the majority oppose Gu Qiusha’s return, completely quashing Mr. Gu’s idea.
Gu Shiyin’s words indeed brought Sun Jiao back to her senses.
She stopped arguing, and sheepishly said: "Oh, oh, I almost forgot, alright then, I agree with Dad’s arrangent."
Mr. Gu was so angry his beard bristled: "... Damn it, do I need you to agree with my arrangent? I’m bringing my daughter back for a reunion, and you’re dragging your feet — are you even human?"

On the way ho.
Xi Rubao was very curious:
"Sis, do you know that besides everyone in the Gu family agreeing, there is also a harsh condition for mom to return to the Gu Family? You can predict things, right, my immortal sister?"
Facing the coquetry, Zuzi smiled sweetly: "Mmm, yes, I know."
"Then can I gossip a little?"
"If the vote doesn’t pass, there’s no need to bring up this condition, so let’s ensure Xiao Sha’s vote passes first."
"Boo, those few green tea witches will definitely not vote for mom, boo hoo hoo!"
