Gu Pinting is indeed the most prominent legitimate granddaughter of the Gu Family right now.
Her college entrance exam scores are very high, getting into Imperial University with her own strength is no problem, and she is also acting, so her fa will quickly rise too. Mr. Gu choosing her to inherit is much more likely than choosing Gu Jingyan, who only knows how to bury his head in grave digging and hasn’t achieved anything.
Therefore, those aunts still have so hope in Gu Pinting’s future.
So they went along with Gu Pingzhi’s request.
But why haven’t the father and daughter arrived yet?
No matter what, they have now cast their opposing votes, do they really think the father and daughter would dare go back on their word in the future?
Seeing that, due to a few sharp words from the Third Aunt, the atmosphere on site is becoming skewed, more and more people are casting opposing votes...
Gu Yuzhi stands behind Gu Qiusha, unable to help but clench his fist with one hand, gently holding onto the hand Gu Qiusha has placed behind her back with the other.
Gu Qiusha feels the warmth coming from his hand, smiles bitterly, and slightly turns her body: "Elder brother, I actually prepared myself ntally before coming today, knowing that everyone wouldn’t agree to my return to the Gu Family. I was just reminded by Zuzi that Mr. Gu is in poor health, seen one less day, so I’ve fulfilled my wish to co back and see him. So, elder brother, don’t worry, if I can’t co back ho, then so be it, I... can bear it."
Gu Qiusha’s gentleness and understanding make Gu Yuzhi’s heart twist painfully.
He can clearly see the sadness and loss in her eyes.
This sister of his is good at everything, but she thinks too much about others, has spent her life accommodating others, and never fought for anything for herself.
How can he let her wish to return ho be stifled?!
Gu Yuzhi knows he might not be able to turn the tide, but he still can’t help but stand up and argue: "Third Aunt, what you’re saying makes no sense. How can you bla soone for sothing that hasn’t even happened? The way the younger generation acts and the mistakes they make are results of their own parents’ education, how can you bla it on Sha Sha? You’re using such baseless possibilities to stop Sha Sha from coming ho, I find it unreasonable!"
Third Aunt snorts coldly: "You’re a big lawyer, I can’t argue with you, but everyone has their own scales in their hearts, and as long as there’s a slightest possibility of Gu Qiusha leading the younger girls of the family astray, no parents of daughters would want her to co back!"
Gu Yuzhi: "You!" This is simply unreasonable, you try to reason with her, but she’s unreasonably stubborn, you can’t communicate with this person.
Seeing the situation becoming more deadlocked and increasingly unfavorable to Gu Qiusha.
Even Xi Rubao is about to cry with anxiety.
Just then, while feeding pudding to Xi Zuzi, Bao Gucheng suddenly turns slowly and speaks very politely, "May I say a word?"
What kind of status does Bao Gucheng have?
Although he’s not a mber of the Gu Family, everyone respects him enough, who would dare not quiet down to listen to him speak?
Even Mr. Gu slightly nods: "Gucheng, go ahead."
Only the Third Aunt insists through gritted teeth: "Mr. Gu, everyone, though Commander Bao holds a noble status, I have to take the risk of offending Commander Bao and speak a fair word—Commander Bao, you are not a mber of the Gu Family, attending the family banquet is fine, but to speak, it’s really not appropriate."
Xi Rubao feels like beating up this old witch.
What the hell, this is my brother-in-law, who says he’s not a mber of the Gu Family? In Herbal Fish’s heart, he’s long been family, alright?!
But there are too many elders at the banquet, it’s not her turn to speak, and besides, she’s not sure whether Xi Zuzi wants to acknowledge Mr. Bo as family, otherwise she’d definitely be the first to shout "brother-in-law" and scare that old witch.
Just when everyone thinks Third Aunt’s words have choked Commander Bao and made it impossible for him to speak.
Who knew.
Bao Gucheng, with a slight, calm curve of his lips—
