Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!

Chapter 608: Tsk, isn’t everyone a thousand-year-old fox, cultivated to perfection!

Mr. Gu had just woken up from the hospital not even two days ago.Insisting on returning to the old house to hold a family banquet and resolve Gu Qiusha’s issue, he discharged himself early despite the doctor’s objections.

At this moment, his body was still weak; in the hot summer, he wore a light wool hat, draped in a thick cashmere shawl, supported by a cane, and needed a maid to assist him as he slowly made his way down the stairs and onto the lawn of the back garden.

But when his gaze met Gu Qiusha, who had turned to look at him, among the crowd.

In an instant, his aged and frail face seemed to be enveloped in a faint starlight, emanating an unprecedented radiance.

Especially his eyes, filled with wrinkles and blood vessels, seemed to burst with brilliance at that moment, welling up with a thick mist of tears!

His once beloved youngest daughter!

The daughter he hadn’t seen in over twenty years!

Seeing her in person was a completely different feeling from looking at photos; the old man felt a twinge in his nose, almost losing his balance.

Yet he still pushed aside the maid’s support, stubbornly, step by step, walked towards Gu Qiusha with his cane.

Gu Qiusha turned back and saw Mr. Gu, and her heart surged with countless emotions in an instant.

She had once silently resented the old man for being unfeeling, for driving her out and cutting off ties. But after twenty years had passed, seasoned by time, especially after the betrayal by Xi Yuanshan, she had come to understand her father’s bitter intentions back then.

In the past, even if the Gu Family asked her to return, she might not have been willing.

People, like bread, aren’t we all just striving to prove a point.

But that day, Zuzi, out of the blue, called her, telling her that the old man’s condition wasn’t great in the hospital, and that he might not have many days left.

Zuzi had always been accurate in predicting life and death.

If Zuzi said so, it meant the old man had indeed reached his limit. She felt a pang in her heart and resolutely decided to return.

She didn’t hope to be reinstated in the family registry but just wanted to see her father once more!

At that moment, she knew returning was the right choice.

Tears fell uncontrollably, realizing that despite her father’s severe punishment, she still had a bond deeper than blood with him. Seeing him so old and fragile, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache!

One must know, back in the day, he was the strong father who, wielding a wooden stick, would make her naughty three brothers wail and beg for mercy.

Gu Qiusha sniffed, turned her head to pretend to fix her hair, and discreetly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes.

In Mr. Gu’s eyes, it seemed as though she was scorning him, not even sparing him a glance.

The old man closed his eyes, stopping halfway on his path.

"Old Master, you called us here today, and we’ve come all the way, let’s get down to business quickly, shall we? Once it’s done, we can all focus on eating," proposed the third aunt, whose status was second only to the old master.

Mr. Gu slowly nodded, "Alright. Hand out the ballots to everyone."

The maids promptly carried out his instructions.

In each person’s hand, there was now a sheet of red paper.

Those agreeing for Gu Qiusha to rejoin the family registry, mark a tick.

Those opposing, mark a cross.

Mr. Gu was the first to state his stance, "Having an unfilial daughter who made grave mistakes back in the day, I as the father feel deeply that I failed to educate her properly, and only regret not having disciplined her more! I also hope you all take this as a cautionary tale; do not wait until my age, nearing the grave, to start regretting..."

Mr. Gu spoke solemnly.

His words resonated with everyone, leaving a profound impact.

"Alas, truly, when a child errs, the parents bear a significant blame. Punishment is one aspect, but education is key."

"Knowing one’s mistakes and correcting them is of great benefit. Seeing the old master’s severe illness now, it deeply resonates with me..."

"The old master has been harsh enough on his children; I couldn’t bear to watch it..." For origınal chapters go to NovєlFіre.net
