"Sis, what are you thinking about? Were you listening to ?"
The playful and slightly aggrieved voice of Xi Rubao ca to her ears.
Only then did Zuzi realize she had been so deeply lost in thought about Bao Gucheng.
"Ahem, what did you say, little grass fish?"
"Sis, Mom and Uncle will leave Qingcheng tomorrow at noon and should arrive in the capital by the evening banquet. Uncle won’t let us go to the airport to pick them up, saying it’s fine to et at Grandpa’s house. Sis, I felt a touch of heaviness in Uncle’s voice, I’m really worried that the Gu Family might give Mom a hard ti tomorrow..."
"Hmm, yeah, they’ll definitely make things difficult."
In a big family, with so many people and so much gossip, there’s always soone odd, especially since back then it was a mistake leading to expulsion, leaving is easy but returning is hard. Gu Qiusha wanting to co back grandly is not that simple.
"Well, we’re really outnumbered here, let count, okay? The whole of the third branch is quirky and will surely vote against us. Adding Gu Shiyin, that’s four votes against us already, and we don’t even know how those overseas relatives are thinking... Mom getting full approval is too difficult! If not for fighting for a breath of dignity, I’d rather give up, can’t bear to see Mom suffer like this, only to be crushed by the end."
"Well, every cloud has a silver lining, everyone has to go through this, little grass fish."
"Ugh, I get it, but... sigh, alright then, Sis, let’s not worry about Mom for now, let’s deal with Shen Jiaqi tonight first? You asked to take action earlier, Sis you direct, I’ll do the work, what’s the plan?"
"Tomorrow night."
"Huh? Sis, didn’t you say that scum shouldn’t be left to survive overnight? Not even a mont’s chance?"
"Yeah, tomorrow night, it’s more fun that way."
"???"
Xi Rubao couldn’t fathom the immortal sister’s way of thinking!

Evening.
Before sleep, Bao Gucheng routinely video-called Zuzi.
His concern was also the Gu Qiusha’s return to the Gu Family the following day for the ’judgnt.’
"I have the list of everyone in the Gu Family Tree, should I interfere?" Bao Gucheng in a bathrobe, seemingly fresh from a shower, with glistening water droplets on his short hair.
Zuzi squinted a little, finding the boy right out of the bath really refreshing, looking like he slled great.
Not sure when it started, but he’d always video-call her after his shower.
On the contrary, she rembered to put on her pajamas before accepting the video call.
It’s nice to admire him too.
She waved her hand casually, "No need to forcibly intervene, Xiao Chenger. You just focus on your work."
Bao Gucheng felt a bit let down.
Every ti she told him to "go be busy," it felt like he couldn’t quite exert his strength.
"Those Gu Family branches, if I give them enough benefits, they’ll surely vote in favor, this isn’t interference, it’s understanding human nature and going with the flow." Bao Gucheng was still trying, after all, the funds were ready to make the purchase, as long as the little woman nodded, he’d start buying votes tonight.
Zuzi chuckled lightly, "Xiao Chenger, you’ve learned to be naughty, even bribery now."
Bao Gucheng cleared his throat, "I’m no saint." For you, I can use any ans necessary.
Zuzi’s ruby lips curled up, "But the Ancestor doesn’t want you to waste money, alright. If you really want to do sothing, how about you prepare a motorcade..."
She gave him a task.
At least she gave him a minor role.
Bao Gucheng’s disappointed look slightly softened, "Alright."
"Goodnight, Xiao Chenger."
"You sleep first, I’ll work for a while... no need to turn off the watch."
"Mm-hmm."
The little ancestor who didn’t need sleep, slept soundly under the boy’s gaze.
Instead, it was Bao Gucheng who needed rest, staring at the girl’s sleeping face on the little screen, reluctant to sleep for a long ti...
