Chapter 624: The Little Ancestor’s Prediction, Will It Fail This Time??
Gu Yuzhi’s thoughts became increasingly alarming.Whether it was the hairstyle or the clothing... he couldn’t completely rule out the suspicions from that bar back then.
Moreover, thinking deeply, Sha Sha’s eldest son, Xi Qingfeng, really looked very much like him, very much so. Although it’s said that the resemblance between an uncle and nephew is a genetic inheritance, the problem is that he and Sha Sha are not blood siblings!
Sha Sha is the old master’s biological daughter, while he was merely an infant adopted by the old master when he was young, after the unexpected death of his dearest friend’s couple.
All these years, the old master treated him as his own, no different from his own son, and many in the Gu Family didn’t even know his true origins, as not only was his name on the family tree, but he was also listed as the eldest son of the eldest branch.
Gu Yuzhi almost couldn’t continue thinking further.
If that vague possibility were proven true, Sha Sha might be expelled from the Gu Family for the second time.
Just moments ago, seeing the old master’s reaction to Gu Pinting’s photo—his ashen face and almost fainting state—and hearing Sha Sha say, "Brother, it’s good it’s not you," he knew that this vague possibility must never come to light.
None of them would accept it!
He smiled bitterly and involuntarily glanced at Xi Zuzi beside Bao Gucheng.
He remembered the first time he met this quirky girl, she smilingly foretold a shocking prophecy:
"Xiao Yu, keep at it. You’ll get what you wish for and marry the girl you love. It won’t be long."
Xi Zuzi, that child, probably didn’t know who the girl he loved was.
If she knew, she wouldn’t have said so.
Even though many things Xi Zuzi said came true, and he had personally witnessed her extraordinary capabilities in Qingcheng at such a young age,
this time, it might just fail.
He and Sha Sha, it’s forever impossible.
The sibling bond is like a shackle, with every relative in the family like wardens; they are bound here, and they can never take that forbidden step.
Gu Yuzhi felt incredibly conflicted.
At times, he recalled those filthy words Xi Yuanshan said on his sickbed—
"She was second-hand goods when she was with me!"
"Heh, Gu Yuzhi, dare you say you didn’t fool around with her back then?"
"We’re all men here, we know the score. You do your thing; I do mine!"
Damned scoundrel!
The haunting bastard!
Gu Yuzhi couldn’t help but tightly hold Gu Qiusha’s hand under the table: the immense fortune, his dear sister, returned... no matter what she had gone through, she was still, in his heart, that pure little girl, deserving only more of his love and care!

During the banquet.
Upon hearing that Xi Zuzi was this year’s top scorer in the national college entrance exams with perfect scores in all subjects, the relatives were in an uproar, eagerly asking for photos!
Xi Zuzi waved her hand, "Ancestor doesn’t like taking photos."
So Bao Gucheng played the role of the guardian escort, fending off relatives seeking photos with cold stares, using his aura alone to drive them away!
Second Uncle at the main table was quite fond of hard-working descendants like Xi Zuzi, and on the spur of the moment gifted a large red envelope, speaking kindly, "Zuzi, once you’re in college, you must learn well, and college is the purest and most stable place to make lifelong connections—friends might become lifelong mentors and companions... Ah, by the way, even with counselors, show respect, I hear some wealthy folks like mingling with counselors in universities, which could be advantageous for..."
Xi Zuzi propped her chin, lazily listening, then suddenly interrupted, "What’s a Fudao Ape? Xiao Chenger, are there monkeys in school? Why should Ancestor I get along with monkeys?"
Bao Gucheng: "..."
He thought it was time to introduce his little lady properly to the outside world.
She was like a classical sleeping beauty from a century ago, slightly out of tune with modernity.
She needed a kiss from her king to awaken her.
