Chapter 412: Chapter 412: Wishing He Could Announce to the World That This is His Own Granddaughter!
Gu Pinting was completely stunned.
The reaction of Ma Xiaogang this time was a world apart from when he first saw her.
Who could it be? Who could make the Empire’s top director so excited that he jumped up to greet them?
Gu Pinting couldn’t help but look in Ma Xiaogang’s direction.
She saw the edge of a plain white robe float gracefully into the doorframe.
Before the person arrived, the voice was heard: "Ancestor comes late, Xiao Bei. Although today isn’t your zodiac birthday, I still wish you many happy returns."
That languid yet clear voice, who else could it be but Zuzi?!
One word "Ancestor" left the entire room stunned.
Only Gu Jingyan pouted: So even Grandpa can only call Xiao Bei, and my Xiao Yan isn’t of a much lower standing.
Zuzi walked into the hall amidst a hush.
Her dark eyes and white teeth, she was as graceful as a jade fairy.
Clearly without makeup, yet illuminating the room with splendor.
The white robe she wore seemed like the pure dew formed by a blooming white rose, emitting a mesmerizing fragrance. In comparison, Gu Pinting’s red dress faded into insignificance, like dry rose petals without any spiritual energy.
For some reason, Gu Pinting’s mind immediately recalled a sentence once said by Zuzi: Empress Nuwa didn’t particularly like wearing red.
Director Ma rubbed his hands: "Miss Xi, it’s been so long since we parted in Qingcheng, I’ve missed you. Now that it’s summer break, would you have time to partake in the event I’m preparing..."
Before he could finish, Huangfu Yaxian cut in: "Classmate Xi, my Empire’s Classical Music Research Center is completed. I invite you to cut the ribbon. Would you be willing to join us..."
While extending the invitation, Dean Pei abruptly interjected: "Oh, you’re Classmate Xi? I’ve heard from your math teacher, he insists I personally invite you..."
Principal Zhou unapologetically pushed him aside: "Don’t pay attention to him and his trivial math college. Our Imperial Royal College has everything, I’m the principal, Classmate Xi, please consider..."
An array of elderly gentlemen were vying to converse with Zuzi.
Suddenly, Lin Suyu squeezed into the center and grabbed Zuzi’s arm, her eyes kind: "You’re the girl in white yesterday, wearing Heavenly Silkworm Silk, aren’t you? You’ve brought out the soul of those clothes, while others rely on them for beauty, you bestow them with spiritual energy..."
Zuzi smiled: "Little Lin, do you like it? I’ll have the neighbors back home send you a few sets later."
Lin Suyu nodded deeply: "I love it so much!"
For a big shot in the fashion design world to say "love it so much", what kind of divine clothing could this be?
At this moment, Gu Pinting stood dazedly behind the crowd of big shots, like a forgotten little one, unable to react.
Gu Shiyin’s heart raced, watching as the big shots vied fervently to converse with Zuzi. So this is who they’ve been eagerly anticipating?
Tonight, they had come for Zuzi!
Wait, Zuzi... why had she come to her house? Could it be that the confrontations at the auction, in the Golden Diamond Corridor weren’t enough; did she really have to chase them here to cause embarrassment for her and Pinting?
"Miss Xi, today is a family dinner. Perhaps you could step aside and we can talk another day?" Gu Shiyin wanted to issue a polite dismissal.
But unexpectedly.
Just as she issued the dismissal, it was angrily slapped down by Mr. Gu: "Lao Liu, you’re usually so clever, why are you so thoughtless today? Zuzi is here at my special invitation, no stepping aside!"
Gu Shiyin choked on her words.
Then Zuzi gently replied: "Indeed, Xiao Bei is thoughtful. I’ll step in for Xiao Sha."
At this moment, not only Gu Shiyin, but even the Gu Family’s second, third, and fourth sons simultaneously exclaimed: "Dad, she is...?"
"Zuzi is my dear granddaughter from the Gu Family!"
Hmm, the word "outside" doesn’t sound good, so he omitted it!
Mr. Gu’s eyes were filled with pride, and he gazed at Zuzi with immense affection.
