Do we have guests over today, Grandpa? Suppressing her slight displeasure, Gu XueEr blinked and asked Old Mr. Gu with the sincerest look.

Not guests, said Old Mr. Gu frankly. This is your Second Uncles daughter.

She had been living with her mother but she is back with us now, said Old Mr. Gu. He had provided the reason why Gu Xi was here now but also skipped over Gu Xis situation at the Lins for what had happened back in the days.

That was Old Mr. Gus way of protecting Gu Xi.

Gu XueEr was surprised when she heard Old Mr. Gus explanation. Her second uncle had been singled all these years. Nobody ever heard about him being married or even in a relationship. Where did this child come from?

Was she born out of the wedlock? Or some sort of an accident? How would they even know that she was really

Gu XueEr thought about all those but she quickly put her surprised look aside.

Before Old Mr. Gu had even had a chance to introduce Gu Xi to her, Gu XueEr had already put on a very affectionate smile at Gu Xi.

Hi Xixi. My name is Gu XueEr. Its nice to meet you. Gu XueEr initiated the conversation with Gu Xi.

Weve met at school before. Do you remember? asked Gu XueEr. She didnt try to cover up the fact that the two of them had met before nor did she seem to feel embarrassed about the incident.

Yes, I do. Gu Xi nodded.

Gu XueErs smiled deepened and carried on to say, Here I thought you looked familiar the very first time I saw you. Who would have thought that we are family? What a coincident.

No wonder Gu YuanChen and Gu Yanxiao were rounding up votes for Gu Xi. It would appear that the two of them knew about Gu Xi all along. Gu XueEr thought to herself.

The man looked to be about Gu Shao and Gu Xians age. His features were mellow and his looks meek. Nevertheless, there was a form of coldness behind his smile.

It was a different kind of cold from Gu Shaos or the other Gu members high and mighty kind of cold when they were not talking his coldness seemed normal but would send a chill down ones spine.

You came, said Old Mr. Gu.

I had to take care of a few minor incidents so I ran a little late. I brought Dad a few ginsengs from Country A specifically and I had already handed them to Butler Zhou, said Gu Yaobai.

Old Mr. Gu nodded. Im glad you were able to have them taken care of.

Old Mr. Gu said nothing else besides that.

Gu Xi sneaked a peek over at Old Mr. Gu and noticed that his very out-of-character kind of loving look was gone.

There werent a lot of emotions on Old Mr. Gus face right now. This seemed to be his normal solemnness.

Now that you are all here, lets start eating, said Old Mr. Gu.

His tone was fine and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

The others started to move after Old Mr. Gu had spoken.

Gu Yaobai and Gu XueEr, too, followed Old Mr. Gu and walked in the direction of the dining room.
