Chapter 257: Chapter 257: The Unreasonable Old Master Gu (6)

"This is the second uncle and second aunt."

Gu Yelin’s second uncle, Gu Qingfeng, is the chairman of the Gu Corporation. He is polite and has a shrewd intelligence. The woman standing beside him is second aunt Chen Fang, whom An Yiqing had once met at the military hospital, the hospital’s director. Their son, Gu Hanlin, is the mayor of Mu City and seldom comes home due to his duties elsewhere.

"Second uncle, second aunt," An Yiqing greeted obediently, with politeness.

"Ah, Qing is here! This is a red envelope from your aunt, take it!" Chen Fang and Yu Xiaoyan smilingly pulled An Yiqing over and stuffed the red envelope they had prepared into her embrace.

"Aunts, this really isn’t necessary! Today, I just happened to meet Grandpa Gu and came along for a visit. I didn’t expect to cause you all such trouble," An Yiqing exclaimed, repeatedly trying to decline the offer.

"Qing, just accept it!" Chen Fang pressed the red envelope firmly into An Yiqing’s hand, warmly saying, "Our whole family has been wanting to meet you for a long time. Sadly, Lao San has been very protective, and only now have you come to visit. Don’t talk about trouble, from now on we are one family!"

"Yes, Qing!" Yu Xiaoyan also nodded repeatedly and said, "Lao San is cold by nature, and we, the elders, are very happy that he could find a distinguished girl like you. Take it! It’s a token of our affection!"

Having reached this point in the conversation, An Yiqing could only accept the red envelope. She smiled gently and demurely, "Thank you, aunts."

From start to finish, Gu Yelin stood alongside the girl, accompanying her, a smile warming his usually cold eyes.

Tutu has already been accepted by the Gu Family, could it be time to discuss engagement next?

Master Gu pondered in his heart.

It was time for dinner, and the atmosphere at the table today was even more festive than during the New Year. Old Master Gu purposely placed An Yiqing beside him, even having Gu Yelin and Gu Zhunlin take seats further back.

"Come on, Qing, I specifically asked Lao San about your preferences, everything we prepared today is what you like!" Old Master Gu said with a warm smile to An Yiqing, "We don’t have many rules at mealtime, just eat whatever you like."

"Um, okay. Thank you, Grandpa Gu." The girl smiled and nodded her head, courteously speaking.

"Tutu, eat."

Gu Yelin, who had been silent until now, neatly arranged the shrimp he had peeled on a plate and set it in front of An Yiqing, who then naturally began to eat. The entire process was smooth and filled with tacit understanding, clearly a frequent occurrence.

The Gu family members watching were stunned, finding it hard to believe that the always cold Gu Yelin would peel shrimp for someone else! It was explosive news!

Old Master Gu, stroking his beard, looked at the two affectionate people with a beaming smile. He felt secretly delighted, thinking that it wouldn’t be long before he could hold a great-grandchild!

...

After returning from the Gu Family home, An Yiqing was so busy that the ground never seemed to touch her feet for the next few days, and then the grand Xuandu Jade Stone Exhibition was held!

That morning, just past eight o’clock, at the entrance to the jade stone conference venue, a stately and dignified Bentley sedan car slowly came to a stop. Dressed in a white gown with a light purple fox fur shawl draped over her shoulders, An Yiqing, elegant and noble, stepped out from the car.

"Miss, Jinglin has already gone inside," Zhang Yuksheng quietly reported to An Yiqing at her side.

"Uh, tell him to turn on his Bluetooth headset and be ready at any time," An Yiqing nodded and made her way towards the entrance. Zhang Yuksheng followed closely behind.

"Oh! Who do I think it is! If it isn’t Miss An, who flew up to the branch to become a phoenix!" Guh Ruoyao sauntered over to An Yiqing, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

An Yiqing didn’t speak, she simply walked past her without even casting a glance in her direction.

A blatant snub!

Zhang Yuksheng, following behind, privately gave a thumbs up, barely holding back his laughter.

Guh Ruoyao, watching An Yiqing completely ignore her, stamped her foot in rage.

Just then, a cool and slightly arrogant voice came from behind her.

"Xiao Yao, what are you doing?" A strikingly attractive woman with a shapely figure approached elegantly. She appeared to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, dressed in a black gown and wearing a black coat over it, radiating a coolness that seemed frosty. The coldness of the woman was broken by the hint of arrogance in her eyes, disrupting the overall harmony.

Following her was a young man about twenty years old. He had a tall and slender build, was medium-height, and attractive, wearing a beige casual suit. The mischievous smile on his lips and the nonchalance in his eyes conveyed his flippant attitude.

"Sister Siyi," Guh Ruoyao stiffened upon hearing the woman’s voice, turned around with a smile pasted on her face.

"What were you just doing?" Guh Siyi didn’t respond but continued to coldly press for an answer to her question.

"Sister Siyi, wasn’t it about An Yiqing I told you before!" Guh Ruoyao pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "That woman got lucky and became a phoenix, relying on her status as the Daughter of the An Family, she disregards me completely. It’s clear she doesn’t put the Guh Family in her eyes at all." She feigned anger, and one would think An Yiqing had indeed done something terribly offensive.

"Tsk! Guh Ruoyao, your mouth is getting quite the talent!" The flippant young man scoffed, his gaze mocking at Guh Ruoyao.

"Guh Siqi, what do you mean?" Guh Ruoyao’s nervousness made her defensive, "Don’t think just because you are the grandfather’s favorite that you can do whatever you want. No matter what, I am still your sister!"

"Hmph! Sorry, my mother only had me. If you want to claim kinship, take it up with her!" Guh Siqi smirked dismissively.

"You—"

"Enough!" Before Guh Ruoyao could respond, Guh Siyi interrupted her with a frown, cutting her off coldly, "What do you think this place is? Xiao Yao, a common girl like An Yiqing obviously lacks manners. Why bother stooping to her level? We are from the Guhs, and our every action represents the Guh Family. Be mindful of that!"

Guh Ruoyao was scolded until her face turned red, but since Guh Siyi was the second daughter of the main Patriarch Guh house, she dared not offend her and could only weakly nod in agreement.

Guh Siqi, upon hearing Guh Siyi’s words, raised an eyebrow, his expression ambiguous.
