The old master bent his eyebrows and eyes, looked at everyone, and said, "Don’t just stand here, let’s go, let’s all go inside."
As the old master spoke, he took Gu Zhiqi’s hand and started walking towards the house.
Gu Changchuan followed beside the old master, looking at him while walking into the house, and asked, "Did they call you? When are they coming back?"
Hearing Gu Changchuan’s question, the old master replied, "They should co around noon. They called last night and said they had a morning flight today, so they are probably still on the plane now."
The old master has only two sons. The eldest, Gu Mingshan, inherited Old Lady Gu’s talent in dicine and chose to study it. In his youth, he was a professor at the Yan City University’s dical School, and ten years ago, he was transferred to a secret unit for research work.
Gu Mingshan’s wife, He Yanqin, also works in the secret unit.
Because of the nature of their work, the couple rarely co back.
They only co back once or twice a year, sotis not at all.
Counting the ti, the couple hasn’t returned ho for two years.
This year, they are supposed to co back, but they worked until last night, so they bought tickets for this morning’s flight.
Counting the ti, they should be on the plane by now.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changchuan’s eyes showed so joy, "They are finally coming back this year." Thinking of sothing, he turned to the old master and asked, "What about Xiao Yu, is he coming back?"
The old master’s face imdiately dropped, "Co back for what, there’s not even a ssage from him."
The Xiao Yu in Gu Changchuan’s words is Gu Mingshan’s only son, Gu Hanyu.
Seven years ago, it was the first ti Central Continent Academy’s First Institute recruited students, and after Gu Hanyu was admitted, he disappeared for three years.
During those three years, there wasn’t a single ssage from him.
Until four years ago, Gu Hanyu returned after graduation and visited ho once.
He hurriedly t with the family, saying he was going to join the confidential work like his parents. After that, he left for four years.
In the past four years, except during holidays when they could occasionally receive his greetings, they couldn’t even see a trace of him.
Usually, sending him a ssage takes ten days or half a month to get a reply.
Hearing the old master’s words, Gu Changchuan paused and said, "This kid, how can he not even send a ssage, is he busier than his parents?"
"Isn’t he, this brat." The old master muttered softly, then said, "Forget it, let’s not talk about him. Huaijin, how is work going recently?"
The old master took a few of the grandchildren to the living room to sit and chat.
While chatting, they talked about the three seniors in high school’s grades.
When he heard that Gu Xiyue and Gu Zhiqi both scored full marks in all subjects, the old master was as happy as a blooming chrysanthemum.
However, when he heard that Gu Xingruo consistently scored zero, the old master was so angry that he took off his shoe and threw it at Gu Xingruo.
"Grandpa, don’t get excited, I will definitely pass all subjects this sester, really." Gu Xingruo reached out to catch the old master’s shoe and then returned it to him.
Ever since learning that Gu Zhiqi and Gu Xiyue scored full marks in all subjects, Gu Xingruo seed to awaken his study spirit.
Recently, he has been studying day and night, feeling like he has never worked this hard before.
Gu Xingruo believes that as smart as he is, there will definitely be no problem passing the exams at the end of the sester.
The old master said, "With your scores, it’s simply a disgrace to the Gu Family."
"Look, when has our Gu Family ever had soone who scored zero?"
Gu Xingruo: "..."
Well, I am here now.
