Qin Lin said this to Gu Jueye in public.
He's already 27 years old, and the only son of the Gu family's direct line. With children in the family, they still have to rely on him.
Gu Jueye didn't even blink, completely ignoring Qin Lin's words.
The old lady seemed quite happy: "I hope that day will come soon."
As the elderly couple gets older, their health deteriorates year by year. At this age, they are living one day at a time and making the most of it.
Their greatest wish is to see Seventh Brother get married and have children before they die.
The old lady's words caused a slight change in Gu Jueye's indifferent expression.
Thinking to myself, the little girl will be 20 after her birthday, which is the age when she can get married.
Ye Yuzhen was secretly pleased with herself, but on the surface she appeared very humble.
“Xinyi is usually quite mischievous. Even though she’s all grown up, she still acts like a little kid, always making a fuss. But she puts a lot of thought into preparing a gift for her seventh uncle. Every day after school, as soon as she finishes her homework, she immediately takes out this scarf and starts knitting for a while. With the seventh uncle’s birthday coming up soon, she’s even stayed up two nights in a row these past two days.”
Grandpa Gu looked at Gu Xinyi with gentle eyes.
"From now on, you should prioritize your health and studies. Don't do things that are time-consuming and exhausting. Your seventh uncle has seen your efforts."
The Gu family has a large male population, with most of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren being boys. Counting on one's fingers, Gu Xinyi is the only girl on the collateral side in the capital.
In addition, given Ye Yuzhen's relationship with Madam Gu, Gu Xinyi grew up by their side and naturally gained their favor.
Gu Xinyi looked obedient.
"Uncle only has one birthday a year, so of course we have to prepare a gift with care."
Ye Yuzhen also said, "It is only right for children to show filial piety."
Gu Jingyu scratched his head and looked at the scarf carefully: "Hmm, why does this scarf look so familiar?"
Gu Xinyi's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly explained, "Black scarves are very common, most of them are this style, so it's not surprising that they look familiar."
Gu Jingyu is meticulous and, as a doctor, has a spirit of seeking truth in his bones.
He reached out and touched the fabric, and suddenly understood what was going on.
He tilted his head and glanced at Gu Xinyi. "Little girl, you've got some nerve. You actually dared to tell such a lie in front of Uncle Qi."
Gu Xinyi felt a little guilty under Gu Jingyu's gaze. She had handled things very well; she shouldn't be discovered, right?
At this moment, Gu Jueye, who had been silent all along, let out a soft chuckle and lifted his eyelids to look at Gu Xinyi.
"Next time you lie, be more careful. Even though the logo on the scarf has been removed, the brand's English abbreviation is still on the back at both ends."
Gu Xinyi's face turned deathly pale. Under the shocked gazes of everyone, she stubbornly picked up the scarf, turned it over to the bottom, and sure enough, there was a very small "KC" abbreviation...
"Seventh Uncle..."
"To actually try to fool Uncle Qi with a ready-made scarf, impressive indeed." Gu Hongxun scoffed, looking on with amusement.
