The Gu Family’s home was luxurious and grandiose, but Xia Yangyang was too preoccupied to notice.

As she followed Gu Qichen upstairs, she felt her legs trembling.

Gu Qichen took the initiative to hold her hand.

When they reached the study’s door, Gu Qichen knocked.

The door was not closed, just ajar.

From inside, Gu Shengyuan’s voice could be heard, “Come in.”

Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen into the room.

There were only two people in the study.

One was Gu Shengyuan, the reigning patriarch of the Gu Family, the other was his daughter Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu was a media student and her face graced various fashion magazines and news publications regularly.

She was a renowned actress in the entertainment industry thirty years ago.

However, she left the industry at the height of her fame to marry and start a family.

The most sensational rumor about her was that her ex-husband was Xi Jiachen, Asia’s richest man.

However, this woman was well-preserved; in her forties, she looked like she was just over thirty.

Her manner was elegant and generous. Standing there, she exuded an allure that made people look up to her.

A warm and pampering smile emerged on Gu Mingzhu’s face when she saw Gu Qichen entering.

It was common knowledge that Gu Mingzhu held deep affection for Gu Qichen.

No wonder, since Gu Qichen’s birth mother was unknown, he was brought up by the Gu Family.

Being raised by his elder sister like a mother, Gu Qichen was essentially nurtured by Gu Mingzhu.

However, when Gu Mingzhu saw Xia Yangyang’s face, her smile suddenly froze.

Even Gu Qichen noticed that something was off and called out, “Sis.”

Gu Mingzhu then came back to her senses.

Gu Qichen introduced Xia Yangyang to Gu Mingzhu, “This is Yangyang.”

Gu Mingzhu still stared fixedly at Xia Yangyang’s face, her eyes reflecting a complex emotion.

Xia Yangyang was feeling very nervous under her gaze, but hurriedly greeted her following Gu Qichen’s lead, “Hello sister, I’m Xia Yangyang.”

Gu Mingzhu forced a smile with a pale face and asked, “What are your parents’ names?”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Gu Mingzhu to ask this question first.

She was taken aback for a moment.

It was at this time that the patriarch intervened, saying, “She is the daughter of Director Xia from Starlight Corp. Her father’s name is Xia Liangdong and her mother is Liu Ruyan. You probably wouldn’t know it, being overseas all the time, but Xia Family is a prominent clan in Feng City.”

Xia Yangyang immediately replied, “Grandfather, you are too kind.”

After hearing those two names, Gu Mingzhu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

She managed to squeeze out a smile, scrutinized Xia Yangyang up and down once again, before saying, “Still calling him grandfather? You should start calling him dad now.”

Xia Yangyang’s cheeks blushed as she timidly called out, “Dad.”

Gu Shengyuan laughed heartily, clearly very pleased.

Gu Mingzhu said to Gu Qichen, “Dad was just saying earlier how he wanted to take you to task for hiding such a big event as your marriage. But considering Yangyang’s involvement, he’ll let it slide this time.”

At this moment, the butler appeared at the door and said, “Sir, Miss, Young Master, guests have arrived.”

Gu Shengyuan responded, “Your parents must have arrived; let’s go to the dining room for dinner.”

Then, he turned to the butler and said, “Call Xiao Han to come down for dinner. The kid’s aunt has arrived for the first time, and he’s not even bothered to come say hello.”

Gu Mingzhu said, “I’ll go get him. Dad, you know how he dislikes crowds.”

It suddenly occurred to Gu Shengyuan, “Oh, right, Yangyang, aren’t you a classmate of my Xiao Han?”

It took Xia Yangyang a moment to realize that the Xiao Han they were referring to must be Gu Zhaohan!
