Just as Huo Xiuxiu was pressing her advantage and felt she had the upper hand,
Gu Jueye spoke up.
"Grandpa, whether Qianmo is a descendant of the Huo family or not, we only need to invite one person up here and everything will be clear."
Bai Qianmo looked at Gu Jueye. It seemed that he had arranged everything for tonight.
Was that person present today?
"Outside the door."
"Please invite them in."
Gu Jueye responded and winked at Gu Jin.
The other person nodded, turned around, and left.
"Ah Ye, what's wrong with you? Your parents are trying to help you see this girl for who she really is. She's a complete fraud, why can't you see that?" Qin Lin angrily scolded her son.
She just couldn't understand what was so good about Bai Qianmo that made her son so infatuated with her that he was always revolving around her.
"You'll find out who the liar is in a moment."
Just then, two people walked in from outside.
One of them was a young foreign man, dressed in a well-tailored black swallowtail suit, exuding an aristocratic air.
Standing beside him was an elderly man, well past sixty, leaning on a cane, but with incredibly sharp eyes.
"Isn't this Old Master Bai?"
Why is Bai Qianmo's grandfather here?
Amidst everyone's confusion, Jay helped Old Bai walk up to Old Master Gu.
Old Master Gu stood up to greet him.
"Brother Bai, it's been a long time."
"Yes, it's been more than ten years since we last met. How is Brother Gu's health?"
"Haha, okay, you too?"
"I'm fine too!"
The two elderly people looked at each other and smiled.
Bai Qianmo only knew that Old Master Gu knew her grandfather before, but now it seems that there is some connection between the two.
But why did Gu Jueye invite his grandfather over?
Old Bai glanced at Bai Qianmo, then smiled and said to Old Gu, "It is rather presumptuous of you to visit us so suddenly on this occasion."
Old Master Gu waved his hand: "Not at all, I'm so happy you could come to the Gu family! You have trouble walking, come and sit down."
"Grandpa Bai, let me help you sit down!" Gu Jueye stepped forward, stood on the other side of Grandpa Bai, and personally helped the old man to sit in the empty seat next to Grandpa Gu.
After sitting down, Old Bai's sharp gaze swept coldly across the crowd, finally settling on Huo Xiuxiu's face.
"Is this Huo Yuandong's granddaughter?"
"You know my grandfather?"
"Hehe, I've only heard of this person. Because of his bad character, I've kept him in my memory," Old Bai said casually.
Huo Xiuxiu's expression immediately turned cold.
"Nonsense! My grandfather is the head of the Huo family. How dare you, a coward, insult him like that?"
"The head of the Huo family? Heh, when did Huo Yuandong become the head of the Huo family? Just because he went abroad and started his own faction? Little girl, do you know that your grandfather was just a son of a concubine in the Huo family? His mother wasn't even a concubine; she was just a maidservant who served Madam Huo. She was taken into Master Huo's household as a concubine. This maidservant gave birth to your grandfather, and only then did she gain status and be called a concubine by the people in the mansion. Does someone of such background deserve to use the name of the head of the Huo family? Hmph! Abroad, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, he can fool a few fools with his swindling and deception. This is the capital; do you really think no one knows Huo Yuandong?"
"Back then, Huo Yuandong took advantage of the family turmoil to send someone to assassinate my father-in-law Huo Yuanshan, and after seizing most of the Huo family's property, he took the money and went overseas. The evil deeds he committed are too numerous to count. Humph, now he even has the nerve to use Huo Yuanshan's name to claim kinship with the Gu family. He is truly shameless and despicable."
"You... Bai Yixian, don't take advantage of your age to spout nonsense. My grandfather is definitely not the kind of person you describe. Humph, I think you're the shameless one! In order for your granddaughter to marry into a wealthy family, you're willing to come here and swindle people despite your advanced age. It really proves the old saying, 'Like father, like son!'"
After saying that, Huo Xiuxiu glanced at Bai Qianmo with disdain.
Bai Qianmo looked at Huo Xiuxiu with a cold expression.
There's an old saying: "When people are in a hurry, they burn incense; when dogs are desperate, they run over walls." If you're not panicking, why be guilty?
"Bai Qianmo, who is really feeling guilty?"
"Hehe, if Miss Huo wasn't guilty, how could she be so ill-mannered as to insult an elderly person here? As for whether Huo Yuandong is that kind of person, as my grandfather said, there must be evidence to support that in the capital. If you want to refute my grandfather's point of view, you can find strong evidence to prove Huo Yuandong's innocence."
Old Bai sneered: "I am over seventy years old, and I dare to come here today to say these things, even though I am old and shameless. You can go and ask your grandfather what he did during the riot in the Huo family back then. Ask him how he will face the ancestors of the Huo family after he passes away."
Old Bai spoke with conviction and conviction, and given his reputation for honesty and integrity in the capital, those present who knew him understood that his words were indeed true.
When Bai Lao revealed Huo Yuandong's background, everyone present looked at Huo Xiuxiu with different expressions.
Ye Yuzhen, who never misses a good show, asked loudly, "So, the Huo family line in Country Y is not a legitimate descendant of the Huo family?"
Old Bai paused for a moment and said, “That’s right. The rightful descendant of the Huo family is my father-in-law, Huo Yuanshan. I married his daughter, so naturally, our descendants are the direct descendants of the Huo family. This so-called eldest daughter of the Huo family can only be considered a collateral branch of the Huo family.”
In the eyes of powerful and influential families, the true legitimate bloodline should be the direct descendants.
Huo Yuandong's mother was originally just a maid, so although Huo Yuandong was a descendant of the Huo family, he was an illegitimate son.
