Last time, when Gu Qiusha’s scandal was exposed publicly, it was Ancestor who came forward to calm things down.

This time, it seems we can only ask Ancestor to step in again.

Under the crowd’s hopeful gaze, Zuzi slowly spoke, "Whether it’s true or not is not important anymore. The important thing is how the family thinks."

Everyone was taken aback.

Qin Tao was the first to respond, "Zuzi, are you saying that if we as a family don’t accept Fifth Sister, how can we demand outsiders to understand?"

Wu Qianman also reacted, "Aunt Gu has the right to pursue happiness. I remember she and Lawyer Gu aren’t biological siblings, and this happened before marriage. Who she likes is her freedom. I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with it."

Xi Rubao sniffed, "Even though, even though I was a bit scared by Uncle, but, but that doesn’t mean I can’t accept it. This thing is really cool, isn’t it! If Uncle and Mom were really together back then, then my lousy dad is just a male mistress, right?"

Qin Tao suddenly thought, "Not only that, Xi Fengnan also deliberately impersonated the person in the photo, deceived Fifth Sister, misled her into thinking the one-night love affair in the bar was with him. This is literally a marriage scam! Such deceitful behavior is even more shameful, isn’t it?"

"Oh my God, my mom is so pitiable... deceived for twenty years!"

"If Aunt Gu and Lawyer Gu know the truth, they’re the ones who will be most hit, right?"

"I don’t care how outsiders see it, anyway, I stand by Mom and Uncle!"

"Zuzi, you really woke us up. We were just trying to cover up the scandal, patch things up, and never thought about how Fifth Sister should achieve happiness if all this is true."

"So what we should do now is..."

"No longer keep it from Mom and Uncle, quickly find them, see how they choose, anyway we unconditionally support them!"

Everyone was awakened by Zuzi’s insights, their minds became much clearer.

They divided and started contacting people at the set, urging Gu Qiusha and Gu Yuzhi to return quickly.

Gu Jingyan stood quietly beside, looking at Zuzi’s back with complex eyes, silently thinking: You used to frown at the mention of ’brother’, and now you’re so open-minded to accept brother and sister together...

At that moment, a sudden thought jumped out: If it were him, could he accept it?

His mind froze, quickly suppressing that horrifying thought.

Uncle and Fifth Aunt aren’t biological siblings, but Zuzi is his direct cousin. What an awful thought, thinking like this would make him less than human!

As he was condemning himself, Zuzi suddenly raised her head and casually glanced at him.

Gu Jingyan nervously lowered his head, wringing his hands, "I, I’ll go check on Grandpa, he doesn’t know about this yet, I’ll try to stabilize him first."

Zuzi nodded lightly, "Mm. Xiao Bei’s opinion is also very important."

Even if everyone present accepted Xiao Sha, but if Elder Gu remains opposed, this family would still fall apart.

Gu Jingyan wasn’t optimistic at all, "Grandpa is very stubborn, he isn’t easy to accept... feelings that defy societal norms. One misstep, and his old ailment might flare up, his health could deteriorate."

Zuzi: "A heart disease needs heart medicine, this is also a hurdle he must overcome."

Gu Jingyan didn’t quite understand what Zuzi meant by "heart disease," but he nodded nonetheless and went upstairs silently to do his part.

Even though the banquet had interruptions, it still proceeded smoothly under the coordination of the second house, ready to welcome guests.

Relatives arrived one after another, exchanging pleasantries with the distant guest Shangguan Wanwan, who was very poised and even self-deprecatingly mentioned her recent loss in a case against Gu Yuzhi, making everyone like this gallant, unpretentious woman even more.

Everything seemed harmonious.

Until—
