Gu Family.

The dinner party was being prepared in an orderly manner, with servants bustling around, and quite a few chefs and waiters from star-rated hotels were hired to serve.

After all, ever since the last family reunion, where Gu Qiusha was re-added to the genealogy and Gu Pinting was expelled, the Gu Family hadn’t had such a formal gathering for a long time.

This time, it was because Shangguan Wanwan returned from abroad, bringing gifts from the Shangguan Family, leveraging the elders’ connections to foster good relations with the Gu Family, and thus gathered some of the Gu Family’s collateral relatives in the country for a reunion. Mr. Gu naturally was happy to facilitate family interactions.

The dinner party hasn’t started yet.

Qin Tao, while arranging desserts in the kitchen, accidentally overheard two hotel helpers grumbling while scrolling their phones, "Gu Family’s Fifth Miss isn’t all that. Today we’ll see what a mess she is..."

Hiding aside to eavesdrop, she found the conversation increasingly horrifying and couldn’t help but make an excuse to drive the two out.

But as she turned around, she saw a few young waitresses who should have been setting up buffet tables in the garden, instead gathered together whispering while scrolling their phones and gossiping, "Wow, a thing like getting involved with her own brother, breaking out would make her a scandalous celebrity! How could she have the face to write scripts for the entertainment industry?"

Qin Tao was near a breakdown.

What is going on tonight?

Everyone seems to be gossiping?

Last family gathering, Zuzi pointed out that the trouble-stirring bar photo from twenty years ago wasn’t even of Gu Qiusha and Gu Yuzhi, so why are these rumors resurfacing recently?

Such misunderstandings shouldn’t exist within the Gu Family, how did outsiders get wind of this?

Her mind was in chaos and her husband was on a business trip, Gu Yuzhi was helping Gu Qiusha choose actors at the film set, his phone signal was blocked, Zuzi and the others were in class and didn’t answer the phone, leaving her with no one to discuss the matter for the time being. She grabbed Gu Jingyan as he rushed back home, without even letting him drink water, and hurriedly sent him to school to fetch others to strategize.

Sitting anxiously waiting for quite a while, seeing Gu Jingyan bringing people back, she swiftly approached.

"Zuzi, you’re finally back."

Xi Rubao glanced at her belly: "Congratulations, Xiao Tao."

Qin Tao was stunned, not understanding what she meant, her mind only occupied with the concern that Gu Qiusha’s past scandal is about to break out. She hurriedly pulled everyone to a secluded spot and explained the rumors circulating among the servants, full of worry:

"If it’s false, how can we prevent them from ruining the atmosphere tonight? All the relatives coming are reputable, hearing such gossip is outrageous, not to mention how furious Mr. Gu would be; if it’s true... I simply can’t believe it’s true..."

Xi Rubao stood with arms akimbo: "It’s definitely not true! Ancestor Sister already clarified last time, the person kissing my mom in the bar was my useless, now dead dad. How can these people keep clinging to this, who is so lacking in virtue to bring this up again."

Qin Tao: "Besides the bar kissing photo this time, there’s also my elder brother’s video. In the video, elder brother’s long hair in his youth, his height and aura resemble the man in the bar kissing photo ninety-nine percent. Whereas compared to Xi Fengnan’s youthful photos, it’s completely different. Unless the video is fabricated, we can’t defend ourselves against this explosion." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Xi Rubao: "..."

Watched the video carefully once more, then fell silent.

Oh my, Uncle... The person in the photo kissing mom is actually the long-haired artistic young uncle in his youth.

This, this, can this be understood as an older brother’s care for his younger sister?

Hit hard by this, she looked towards Zuzi for help.
