Xie Siming sat on the sofa in Du Muchen's office, legs crossed, holding his phone, his fingertips moving rapidly across the screen.
[Grandmaster Xie: My Lord!! I have something important to tell you.]
Seeing that the message had been successfully sent, Xie Siming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They didn't block or delete me, which proves we're still good friends!
Ever since he flirted with the young lady in KN, he has never dared to appear in front of Lord Jue again, nor does he dare to post on his WeChat Moments, nor does he dare to participate in the group chat of the compound.
He, a teenager addicted to the internet, was transformed into a model student.
He even helped out when his sister-in-law was bullied, so he finally had the face to speak to the Duke.
[Master Xie: My sister-in-law has been wronged today. A few girls brought a snake and put it in her wardrobe. It's outrageous!]
He sent several furious emojis in quick succession.
He then immediately followed up with another message.
[Master Xie: But how could someone as strong as my sister-in-law be bullied by those little chicks? I heard she opened the wardrobe, caught a snake with her bare hands, and threw it at those chicks! Hahaha, that's amazing!]

Gu Family Old House
In the dining room
Gu Jueye was sitting at the dining table having dinner with the two elderly people.
Yesterday, when Grandpa Gu and Madam Gu returned from the Summer Palace, many of the Gu family's descendants came. I heard that even the eldest son of the main branch, who had been bedridden for many days, came.
Speaking of which, according to seniority, the eldest son of the family should call Old Master Gu "Sixth Uncle," and coincidentally, the two are the same age.
Because Old Master Gu had seven sons, the eldest son Gu Guotai and the sixth son Gu Guobang were twenty years apart. The year Gu Guotai's eldest son was born, Old Master Gu's first wife had a son in middle age, Gu Guobang.
Therefore, according to seniority, the other grandchildren of the Gu family who are of the same generation as Gu Jueye are actually much older than him.
"I heard from your mother that you picked up a young girl on the street yesterday and took her to the hospital? Is she alright?" The question was asked by Grandpa Gu.
He sat at the head of the table, holding a bowl of health-preserving porridge in his hand, seemingly drinking the porridge casually.
"It's just a common cold, nothing serious."
Madam Gu then spoke up, "You do know how to care about people now. You're not a child anymore, and we elders don't want to lecture you every day. You need to understand that the responsibility for the continuation of our Gu family line rests on your shoulders."
The old lady said she wouldn't mention it, but the four words "to continue the family line" carried far more weight than a hundred other words.
They only have this one precious child among their direct descendants.
On ordinary days, Grandpa Gu appears serious and profound, and he doesn't like to give praise.
But seeing his grandson stand out among the Gu family's descendants, he was naturally very satisfied.
But the only thing that worried the two elderly people was their beloved grandson's marriage.
He's almost 27, and several of the Gu family's great-grandchildren are already married. Seeing the collateral branches flourishing while their own grandchildren remain unmarried, how could they not be anxious?
Gu Jueye nodded respectfully: "Don't worry, elders, I will take it to heart."
Seeing him obediently nod in agreement, Old Madam Gu swallowed back the words she was about to say.
They knew Ah Ye's personality very well; pushing him too hard would only make him rebel.
It would be better to secretly select more suitable people and arrange for this kid to get to know them.
At that moment, two beautiful figures walked towards the dining room.
"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother!" The girl walking in front was in her early twenties.
She has a cute and pretty appearance, with a pair of bright black eyes that are clear and distinct.
She greeted the two elderly people with a smile, then turned her little face to Gu Jueye.
"Seventh Uncle is here too. It's such a rare treat to see you, Sister Qianning, don't you think?" After saying that, the girl turned her head and looked at Ye Qianning beside her.
He secretly winked at her.
With a gentle smile on her face, Ye Qianning first politely greeted the two elders of the Gu family.
"Hello, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu."
The two elderly people looked up at Ye Qianning at the same time.
Madam Gu smiled and asked, "Is it Qian Ning from the Ye family?"
Ye Qianning glanced at Gu Jueye secretly and nodded obediently: "Grandma Gu has such a good memory. The last time I came to the Gu family was back in high school. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Madam Gu smiled kindly and said, "It really is you, child. Come here and let me take a look."
Ye Qianning obediently walked up to Madam Gu. Madam Gu took her hand and looked her over carefully for a while: "You still look the same as you did in high school, just a bit more mature. When I first saw this little girl, I said, 'Where did this little fairy come from?' Hehe, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Old Master Gu also took a closer look at Ye Qianning: "Is she Ye Songjin's granddaughter?"
"Yes, she is Ye Songjin's granddaughter."
Grandpa Gu pushed up his reading glasses, his cloudy eyes seeming to be recalling something.
After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded: "I remember now, it was your birthday banquet last time. Ye Songjin brought a young girl with him, and you even praised her a few times."
"That's the little girl," Madam Gu replied with a smile.
At this moment, Gu Xinyi, who had been neglected, pouted in feigned dissatisfaction: "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, you immediately forgot about me as soon as you saw Sister Qian Ning. Do you not want to see me?"
She said something coquettishly, with the innocent charm of a little girl, which made the two elderly people laugh for a while.
