Xia Yangyang followed Gu Qichen upstairs to greet the elderly man.

After chatting for a while, the butler approached, reporting: “Elder, the guests have arrived.”

The elderly man, ever jovial, said: “Ah Chen, accompany me to welcome them. Yangyang, you go fetch Xiao Han; you two head straight to the dining room.” Xia Yangyang agreed with an acknowledging sound.

Then, the elderly man went downstairs with Gu Qichen.

Xia Yangyang stood dumbfounded for a moment, then turned and headed to Gu Zhaohan’s room.

As she got closer to his room, Xia Yangyang felt an increasing sense of irritation welling up inside her.

Eventually, she stopped at the door.

Xia Yangyang regained her calm, preparing to knock on the door.

However, just as her fingers were about to touch the door, it was abruptly flung open.

Gu Zhaohan appeared in the doorway.

Xia Yangyang was taken aback, one hand still hanging in mid-air.

Gu Zhaohan seemed surprised to see Xia Yangyang at his door, raising his eyebrows slightly before saying coldly: “What is it?”

Xia Yangyang said, “Why did you help Kim Fei’er today when she was clearly oppressing people?”

Unable to swallow her anger, Xia Yangyang asked.

Gu Zhaohan replied, “I was only telling the truth; you shouldn’t waste your effort.”

This statement infuriated Xia Yangyang further. “Are you so sure that your team would win?” she retorted.

“I never do anything without certainty.”

“So, you joined Kim Fei’er’s team to defeat me? Gu Zhaohan, what did I do to provoke you? Why are you opposing me?”

Gu Zhaohan’s gaze deepened. “You have not provoked me.”

Unable to understand, Xia Yangyang asked, “Then why are you treating me this way?”

Gu Zhaohan replied coldly, “I just simply don’t like you.”

With that, Gu Zhaohan left the room.

Xia Yangyang was furious.

Upon Xia Yangyang’s arrival at the dining room, the guests had already arrived.

Xia Yangyang noticed a girl almost of her own age.

However, their styles contrasted entirely. The girl had wheat-colored skin and was dressed in a belly-revealing tank top and a short skirt. Despite that, she was strikingly beautiful, her smile as radiant and vibrant as the California sun.

At that moment, the girl was attempting to converse with Gu Qichen in broken Chinese.

Xia Yangyang frowned.

The elderly man was talking to his comrade.

Seeing that everyone was present, he said: “Let me introduce you all. This is my comrade, Uncle Qiao, and his granddaughter, Joanna.”

Being outgoing, the girl excitedly introduced herself: “My name is Joanna, or Qiao Anna in Chinese. It’s my first time in China, so please guide me.”

With every word expressed in the second tone, making the girl’s Chinese a bit awkward to listen to.

Her grandfather, Qiao Peiwen, explained: “My granddaughter grew up in the United States. Everything about her is excellent, except her Chinese is not very good. Please be a bit more patient.”

The elderly man said: “Anna is a lively and cheerful child; I like her very much.”

The elderly man then added: “Let’s sit down and have dinner.”

Upon seating, Joanna insisted on occupying the seat next to Gu Qichen. She held Gu Qichen’s arm, conversing with him in English.

Joanna referred to Gu Qichen as “uncle”, which sounded particularly grating to Xia Yangyang.

They were speaking English mixed with other languages, and Xia Yangyang had difficulty understanding.

Although it was supposed to be a matchmaking meet for Gu Zhaohan, Joanna didn’t say a single word to him but was very enthusiastic about Gu Qichen.

Just as everyone sat down, Gu Qichen suddenly introduced in Chinese: “Let me introduce you, this is my wife, Xia Yangyang.”

Joanna was stunned and seemed not to understand: “Wife? What?”

Gu Qichen introduced again in English.

Joanna’s eyes clearly showed disappointment: “Wife? She is your wife? You’re married?”

Her pronunciation wasn’t very standard, and she seemed to be gritting her teeth as she spoke..
