Chapter 838: Chapter 838: The Woman Who Was Thrown Away Five Years Ago (4)

Father Bai, upon hearing An Yiqing’s words, was extremely excited and nodded repeatedly, "Good! Good! Good! Xiao Qing, with these words of yours, uncle can rest easy! Great! This is really wonderful! Xiao Qing, on behalf of Grandpa Bai, I thank you in advance!"

"Uncle Bai, what are you talking about? Although I haven’t known Grandpa Bai for long, he has always treated me like his own granddaughter, so naturally I’ll do my best to help Grandpa Bai," An Yiqing said, shaking her head and smiling.

Father Bai gratefully nodded, sighing with emotion, "Ah, Zisheng indeed has a good daughter. That saying in Xuandu City isn’t wrong at all, ’To have a daughter like An Yiqing.’ Xiao Qing, you really make us envious!"

At that moment, Old Master Gu, Old Master An, Father Bai, and An Yiqing, the four of them, were happily conversing, interacting on equal footing and sharing insights on various matters, much to the astonishment of the guests around them.

They all couldn’t understand how, despite her outstanding abilities, An Yiqing could engage two highly esteemed elders in discussions of national affairs as if she were their peer. What special skills did she have?

Everyone was puzzled, and Huang Yiyi, who had been observing An Yiqing from a distance, was even more baffled.

In Huang Yiyi’s eyes, An Yiqing was just a woman with a strong family background and some minor talents and cleverness, who could only wield power in Xuandu City thanks to the backing of the Gu Family. She couldn’t understand why, among all the wealthy daughters, An Yiqing received so much attention from Old Master Gu. You could hear his laughter; it was almost bursting through the roof!

Huang Yiyi, with a fierce grip on the wilted flowers in her hand, seethed with resentment but had nowhere to vent it.

Just then, a commotion arose from the gate of the villa, and a woman dressed in a red floor-length gown appeared before everyone. Huang Yiyi’s eyes lit up instantly.

"Big... uh... Sister Siyi!" Huang Yiyi swallowed her initial address and replaced it, swiftly walking up to the woman in the red gown, beaming brightly.

This woman was none other than Guh Siyi, who had just returned from Country Jin!

For today’s banquet, Guh Siyi had carefully chosen a fiery red floor-length gown. Her beauty was bewitching yet carried a hint of frostiness, and the wine-red hair paired with the red gown made her stand out among the crowd, her bearing immediately accentuated.

Seeing the stunning Guh Siyi, everyone inwardly sighed in admiration; no wonder she once held the title of First Miss of Xuandu City. Looking at her poise, she truly had substantial qualities.

However... when the former and current First Miss cross paths, whether it would be good or bad was yet to be determined.

Everyone was alert, all looking forward to the intense power struggle that would unfold tonight.

"Welcome, Elder Guh, your presence truly graces my humble abode!" Father Bai saw Guh Tian and quickly adopted a courteous yet distant smile, uttering some polite, superficial phrases.

As he finished speaking, Father Bai’s gaze shifted to Guh Siyi behind Guh Tian, his face showing surprise, "Oh, this must be Siyi! It has been five years, and you’ve grown so much! More and more beautiful!"

Guh Siyi sneered inwardly with disdain but maintained a polite and respectful demeanor on her face.

However, before Guh Siyi could relish her moment for more than a few seconds, Father Bai shifted his tone.

"What did you learn in Country Jin all these years? Ah! Uncle feels, as good as foreign countries are, there’s no place like home. One must never forget their roots!" Father Bai put on an affected sigh and continued to nod and shake his head, "I often tell my son, never to idolize or fawn over foreign things. Just look at the bars around here; sometimes young girls are thrown out, wearing next to nothing. They really should respect themselves more!"
