This sudden reversal left the relatives, especially the rich ladies returning from abroad, absolutely stunned.
Oh my, so many ssy affairs have co out from the third branch, and they had no idea!
Third Uncle’s wife looked particularly upset.
Was she played by Gu Pingzhi’s family?
Insisting on not letting Gu Qiusha in, thinking it would please the future heir, who knew that heir was nothing but a fart, gone with a puff!
The benefits promised by the third branch fell through, and so relatives started backtracking: "I think we should give Sha Sha a chance... After all, the third branch is not reliable either..."
The situation developed in favor of Gu Qiusha, and the tightly furrowed brows of Gu Yuzhi finally relaxed a little.
However, his gaze towards Bao Gucheng beca even deeper.
Bao Gucheng’s move to reveal the scandalous news of Gu Pinting’s weight gain was indeed a masterstroke—steady! accurate! ruthless!
A successful save!
Of course, he was happy, but he couldn’t help but admit that just as when he grabbed the car door earlier, he was outshone by this brat’s clever move again.
Xi Rubao patted her chest: "Scared the hell out of , I thought brother-in-law was going to switch sides and speak for those old witches."
Beside her, Chen Long was speechless: "..."
Damn, I knew the old man was a crafty fox, but I didn’t expect his sinister depths hid so well.
The paparazzi caught Gu Pinting stuck in traffic earlier; it turns out it wasn’t just about making her look foolish, but had a deeper aning, usable at such a critical mont. Damn, your intricately linked black-bellied thoughts are simply unbeatable.
Only Xi Zuzi’s eyes were filled with smiles and a faint pride: "Ancestor always said my Xiao Chenger handles things very properly."
Bao Gucheng: "Watch the pudding, I’ll help you wipe it."
His long fingers brushed past her lip corner, carefully wiping away a trace of maple syrup from eating pudding.
Looking so absorbed in pampering his little woman, who could’ve imagined he was the instigator stirring emotions just monts ago?
Is this gentleman really just here to be a dedicated private tutor?
With Bao Gucheng stirring things up like this, most of the relatives about to vote turned their votes in favor.
But, just as Gu Yuzhi’s heart relaxed, it began to tense up again.
Now there are more people voting Sha Sha back, but what about those who just voted against?
Quite a few indeed.
The final vote counting result... still obviously unfavorable to Sha Sha.
Just as Gu Yuzhi was feeling anxious, Gu Qiusha’s phone rang.
"Big brother, I’ll take a call," Gu Qiusha said softly, very politely, and stepped away to a quiet spot in the garden to answer.
However.
Sohow, the phone seed to have switched to speaker mode.
From the earpiece ca Ma Qie’s booming laughter: "Qianshan darlin’, congratulations on your ’Long Immortal Road’ being selected by the Imperial Writers Association as a key recomnded work, the official is going to promote it on tour for you, and you’ve got the publication serial number, not the kind of pamphlet we secretly printed at Penguin Group last ti, but an official book number. It can hit the bookstores for big sales! I want to ask, is a first print of a million copies enough for you? I was thinking, print fewer copies at first, so there’s a shortage!"
Ma Qie’s words ca out rapidly and excitedly.
But everyone present heard it clearly.
Qianshan?!
The person on the phone sounding like a big boss actually called Gu Qiusha Qianshan?
Is it the famous cartoonist Qianshan?
Qianshan with billions of fans?
The very Qianshan their entire family is eagerly following?
Oh shit, this Ma Jia has dropped so hard, they might go blind and their hearts might stop, ahhhh...
Quick-acting heart-reliever, where is the quick-acting heart-reliever?!
