Chapter 395 The Ai Family Returns
After the banquet ended, the Zhou family members stood at the door and saw everyone off one by one until only their own family members remained in the banquet hall.
Zhou Wansheng looked at the group, who were already looking a little tired: "If you're too tired, let's stay upstairs and go home tomorrow."
Wang Yanzhi checked the time and it was already almost eleven o'clock, which was indeed a bit late. So she asked Butler Zhou to make some arrangements, and the group did not return to the Zhou family manor.
Just as we were about to come up, someone came to report that the Ai family's car had returned after leaving the villa area.
Zhou Wansheng was puzzled, wondering what the other party wanted to do after returning. Had they left something behind?
He looked at the others and said, "You guys go upstairs to wash up and rest first. I'll wait downstairs."
Gu Yin had been wearing high heels all night, and her feet were very tired. Everything else was about the same. Thinking that something might happen at the Ai family's place, she figured that having too many people around would be a bad idea, so they all went upstairs.
Looking at Wu Ye's curious face, Zhou Wansheng's lips twitched: "Why don't you go and rest?"
Wu Ye raised an eyebrow: "I'm not sleepy! I still want to have a couple of drinks with you! Why go to bed so early?!"
Zhou Wansheng chuckled, then shook his head: "My wife is strict, and I'm getting old, so I don't drink!"
"Don't drink white wine, drink red wine instead. Drinking some red wine will help you sleep better!"
Seeing his expression, Zhou Wansheng asked in confusion, "Is there something you want to say?"
Wu Ye blinked, about to speak, when the sound of brakes came from outside the door, so he shook his head: "There's something I need to do, let's talk about it later."
Seeing this, Zhou Wansheng didn't ask any more questions and looked towards the door.
Following Uncle Zhou in were Old Master Ai, Mr. Ai, and his youngest daughter, Ai'er.
Zhou Wansheng stood up and smiled, "Is there something you forgot? I'll have someone look for it for you?"
Grandpa Zhou smiled and shook his head: "No, it's just that I have something I'd like to talk to you about." He then looked at Wu Ye, clearly wanting him to leave.
Wu Ye pretended not to understand and just laughed at them.
Zhou Wansheng rolled his eyes at him, then looked at Old Master Ai: "Just say what you have to say. Wu Ye is Burmese and only knows a little bit of Chinese. Without a translator, he probably won't understand what we're saying, so it's fine for him to be here."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Ai glanced at Wu Ye and, seeing that he indeed seemed not to understand, nodded: "Alright then."
Grandpa Ai and the others didn't hear what Wu Ye said at the party, so they don't know if Wu Ye really didn't understand. But it doesn't matter if he does understand a little.
He should have been in such a hurry, but his granddaughter said that Gu Le's middle school was still uncertain. That was one thing, but the Zhou family also wanted to send him abroad. According to the custom of wealthy families in Hong Kong, there was a high probability that Gu Le would go abroad to study directly, and might not even study in China for middle school!
He originally planned to have his granddaughter attend the same middle school as him, so they could develop a relationship and get engaged naturally after they graduated from middle school!
But if Gu Le goes abroad at this time, he knows that his family is not qualified to enter the Royal Academy. However, there are many princesses and young ladies from noble families all over the country inside. Once Gu Le has no emotional entanglements, it will be easy for him to find a partner there. And when he returns to China, there is a high probability that he will bring a girlfriend back with him. The people there, whether in terms of status, position or family background, are all incomparable to his family!
Then their family has absolutely no chance. What's more, at today's banquet, Zhou Wansheng not only acknowledged Gu Le's status as the heir, but also revealed that the other party had changed his surname. Many guys with daughters and granddaughters are already getting restless! That's why they returned to the villa!
“I heard from Ai’er that A-Le’s middle school hasn’t been decided yet? Are you planning to send him abroad to study, or are you still considering schools? I’m getting old and don’t know much about these things. Yongcheng is busy with work and doesn’t have time to manage either. So I was thinking if you find a school for A-Le, just tell me and I’ll send Ai’er there too. I trust your judgment!”
Wu Ye's eyes flickered, but he continued to smile without saying a word.
Zhou Wansheng remained calm and smiled, "It's not clear yet. The child is older and has his own ideas. However, I hope he can go abroad to the Royal Academy. After all, he has to go eventually, and the sooner he goes out, the sooner he can come back. But it still depends on his wishes. Our family will not force him."
As expected! Old Master Ai's heart tightened; the other party really did want Gu Le to leave early.
Ai'er was also getting anxious. Gu Le didn't like her at all. If she left now, she would never have appeared in front of him for the rest of her youth. What chance would she have? Could she still dream of becoming the mistress of the Zhou family?
Grandpa Ai smiled and said, "The child is still young and needs his parents. Sending him abroad like this will inevitably make the parents worry. I think it would be better for him to study in Hong Kong until he is an adult before going abroad. By then, he will be able to take care of himself, and the parents will feel more at ease!"
