Faced with Gu Yuzhi’s skepticism, Bao Gucheng gave him a cold glance through the rearview mirror: "Respect your teacher; do you have a problem with that?"

Gu Yuzhi: "You...!" How dare you take advantage of the little girl from my family like that! Do you even look like a teacher?

Gu Qiusha tugged at his sleeve and interrupted him with a smile: "Brother, Mr. Bo is right. What’s wrong with Zuzi helping a teacher with a few things? You’re way too uptight."

Zuzi lounged lazily in the front seat, looking utterly indifferent: "Yeah, Xiao Cheng, just focus on driving. I’ll help you."

She pressed a button on the screen and held the phone close to his ear.

A hoarse yet powerful voice emanated from the phone, causing the group in the back seat to sit up straight:

"Gucheng, are you with Yuzhi and them? Ask him why he’s daring enough not to answer my calls!"

"That brat, just won a case, and he’s getting too cocky? Does he think it’s amazing or arrogant to beat his own cousin?"

"Tell him to get back here right away!"

Everyone: "..."

Gu Yuzhi awkwardly pulled out his phone from his pocket for a quick glance and sure enough, the call he just cut off wasn’t a spam call but an incoming call from Mr. Gu.

Totally careless.

Bao Gucheng smiled slightly and replied calmly to the angry elder on the phone, "Alright, I’ll relay the message."

He then nonchalantly tossed a remark to Gu Yuzhi: "Lawyer Gu, you have hands and feet. Handle your business yourself next time, don’t leave it for me."

Gu Yuzhi: "..."

Those are his lines!

The cunning old wolf has great luck, always catching the chance to retort—it’s incredible.

Because of Mr. Gu’s call, they changed their plans and headed to the Gu Family’s place.

It was lunchtime, and upon arriving at the Gu Family’s residence, servants were bustling about the courtyard, busy setting up tables, cutlery, flowers, and drinks, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

"Huh, are we expecting guests?" Gu Qiusha wondered, "It’s not like it’s Mr. Bo’s first time here, why is Dad making such a big fuss this time?"

Gu Yuzhi: "It’s definitely not for him; he’s just dropping us off and isn’t staying for a meal. I’ve had enough of Bao Gucheng’s little hand-holding tricks under the dining table!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Just as they were speaking, Mr. Gu walked out with his cane, and seeing all his children and grandchildren gathered, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a bit:

"So, you’re all here? I figured you’d be together. Come, come, let’s have a proper introduction! Let me introduce you—Wan Wan, your cousin. Oh yes, Zuzi, Bao, and Lang Yue Xiao Man, you should call her Cousin Aunt Wan Wan... Wait, or should it be Cousin Auntie? No, Cousin Aunt sounds smoother. Look at me, old and muddle-headed, can’t even figure out the names correctly!"

Cousin Aunt Wan Wan?

Everyone followed Mr. Gu’s gesture and saw a slender figure in white stepping gracefully from the main hall’s corridor.

The woman wore light makeup, her complexion was about seventy percent pale, her eyebrows eighty percent thick, with long hair draped over her shoulders and a white dress flowing down to the floor. She waved at everyone with enthusiasm, deliberately walking toward Gu Yuzhi: "We meet again, Eldest Cousin."

Gu Yuzhi was momentarily stunned.

Shangguan Wan Wan looked a bit different than on the courtroom just now—perhaps because her hair was let down, she appeared softer and less aggressive. Yet, for some reason, he instinctively took two steps back, standing closer to Gu Qiusha.

Then, Bao Gucheng, who had been standing side by side with Zuzi, ended up as the one standing at the forefront, taking the brunt of it all.

Shangguan Wan Wan approached everyone, her gaze lingering on Bao Gucheng.

She studied the man for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled broadly, her rouge lips pulling wide: "Nice to meet you. This gentleman... is also one of our Gu family brothers?"

Laughing without reservation, like an especially enthusiastic overseas-returned Chinese who opens their arms—

She indeed went in for a big hug!
