Xie Yunlin surprisingly didn’t mention that Gu Junzhu would come.
Thus, when the Xie family saw Gu Junzhu walk in with Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, accompanied by an unfamiliar girl and two children, the faces of the Xie family members were filled with astonishment.
Seeing Gu Junzhu, Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie didn’t look too pleased.
After all, their granddaughter Xiang Bingzhi had just been thrown into jail because of Gu Junzhu.
Gu Junzhu didn’t show them any respect.
Although Xiang Bingzhi was largely to blame and the Xiang family suffered the most humiliation, she was still the Xie family’s granddaughter, and their reputation was also jeopardized, losing face.
Given how deplorable Xiang Bingzhi’s behaviour was, Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie were too embarrassed to argue her innocence.
They had no objections to whatever sentence was handed down.
But why was the matter spread online?
The shameful incident was a scandal all over the city, known by everyone, tarnishing the reputations of both the Xie and Xiang families.
They had never met anyone as inconsiderate as Gu Junzhu before, completely disregarding the longstanding relationship between the two families and showing no respect.
For the past few days, Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie have been too embarrassed to leave the house for fear of being laughed at. They’ve been cooped up at home, hoping the scandal would blow over soon.
Seeing Gu Junzhu now, it’s no wonder they couldn’t put on a good face.
However, no matter how much they loathed him, Gu Junzhu’s status was undeniable.
Even if Senior Master and Senior Madame gnashed their teeth in resentment against Gu Junzhu, they didn’t dare to kick him out.
The other Xie family members don’t harbour much resentment against Gu Junzhu.
They didn’t have deep affection for Xiang Bingzhi, and whether she was unlucky or fortunate didn’t have much to do with them.
Especially Xie Motong and Wuhu Wenshi, upon seeing Gu Junzhu, their eyes lit up.
Both of them were high-born young ladies from Beijing at the age suitable for marriage.
Coming from good families, they naturally desired to marry even better. Gu Junzhu was one of their targets.
Seeing the handsome and majestic Gu Junzhu at this moment, they felt their hearts fluttering, their eyes filled with spring, their cheeks flushed with excitement, and they were racking their brains, trying to think about how they could make a good impression on Gu Junzhu later.
Xie Yunlin led them into the living room, greeted everyone from the Xie family, then turned to Senior Master Xie and Senior Madame Xie and said, “Grandfather, grandmother, I have some good news to share with you on my return!”
Since he had taken the surname of the Xie family, he has been calling his maternal grandparents “grandfather” and “grandmother” over the years.
Senior Master Xie glanced at Gu Junzhu: “If you have good news to share with us, why did you bring Xiao Zhu with you?”
Ye Xingbei, who was a bit nervous at first, almost laughed out loud at this nickname.
Xiao Zhu?
Little… Pig?
Sensing her change in mood, Gu Junzhu glanced at her.
Ye Xingbei and Gu Junzhu locked eyes, she struggled to hold back her laughter, her eyes full of mockery.
Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow at Ye Xiaobei’s mischievous expression, assuming she was no good.
However, her playful cuteness was especially appealing, and if there hadn’t been so many people around, he would definitely pull her into his arms and kiss her this way and that.
When Ye Xingbei saw his gaze suddenly lower to her lips, she blushed and gave a light snort, turning her head to ignore him.
Xie Motong and Wuhu Wenshi had been watching Gu Junzhu the whole time.
Seeing Gu Junzhu and the girl next to him “flirting”, they immediately felt uncomfortable. The way they looked at Ye Xingbei carried a hint of hostility..
