"It’s alright, I have a plan," Gu Junzhu chuckled, "First, I’ll find a way to get Jii Chunjue in debt, then have Yue Yaer approach him and bring up the past. I’ve analyzed Jii Chunjue’s personality—he’s greedy and loves money. I’ll have Yue Yaer pretend she’s married a wealthy man, carefully plot the scene and Jii Chunjue will certainly use the video of Yue Yaer’s mother to blackmail her for money. By then, the evidence will surface one piece at a ti."
After so thought, Senior Master Gu nodded, "Feasible! Alright, go ahead and do it. As for your Uncle Xiang, I’ll notify him."
"Dad, I an, don’t inform Uncle Xiang just yet," suggested Gu Junzhu, "I’m afraid he’ll be too angry and won’t be able to resist confronting Jii Chunjue, which might scare him off and disrupt my plan."
"Okay," Senior Master Gu said without hesitation, "I’ll follow your lead. Just let know when you need to speak to your Uncle Xiang."
Gu Junzhu nodded in agreent and looked at Yue Yaer, "Dr. Yue, keep your cool and don’t show your face in front of Jii Chunjue. I’ll let you know when it’s ti for you to see him."
"I understand," Yue Yaer quickly replied with a nod, "I’ll just stay at ho and not go anywhere lately."
Having discussed the details, Yue Yaer tactfully left the room.
Senior Master Gu checked the ti and stood up with a smile, "Ti for dinner, I had the kitchen prepare sothing delicious. I can already sll the aroma!"
Senior Master Gu was in high spirits, and so was Gu Junzhu.
He knew that bringing Yun Jue back would surely keep his father’s smiles coming!
The family enjoyed a harmonious and joyful al together.
After the al, Senior Master Gu, considerate of their long journey, suggested they rest in their rooms.
Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei went to the Xiang Family to pick up Xiao Shumiao, also a way to digest their al with a short walk.
The houses in the compound were built according to rank.
Senior Master Xiang’s place was one level below Senior Master Gu’s, with a slightly smaller yard and fewer rooms than the Gu Family’s compound, but it was still spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people.
The two successfully t Xiao Shumiao, who clung to Lingyue’s hand and refused to let go, stickily insisting on Lingyue accompanying him ho to sleep.
Although Senior Master Xiang was reluctant to let go of Lingyue, as a man in his sixties or seventies, he couldn’t compete with a little kid for his grandson. He had no choice but to relent.
He shook his head and said with relief, "Luckily, we have a boy in our family too. If it had been a girl, she might have been coaxed away to your place sooner or later, which would bring to tears!"
Gu Junzhu responded with a laugh, "If your family had a girl and she was coaxed away to our house, you should be thrilled. Our families live so close; if she were taken to our place, you’d just cross the street to see her. If soone else took her, you might only see her once in a blue moon if she were taken far away."
"No way, no way," Senior Master Xiang waved dismissively, "No matter where she’s taken, your Uncle Xiang won’t be happy. Boys are better; my boy could bring a granddaughter-in-law, and I am looking forward to holding a great-grandson!"
The two exchanged a few jokes, then Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei left with Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue.
Once they stepped out of the Xiang Family’s main gate, Gu Junzhu said to Ye Xingbei, "Beibei, let’s not have a daughter in the future. Let’s have a son!"
Fifth Lord of Gu has been longing for a sweet, soft little girl, preferably one who looked like Ye Xingbei, soft and fragrant and beautiful. Just the thought made his heart burst with joy.
