Gu Shuzhi's face darkened slightly. He looked around and asked in a low voice, "Dad, you did it? Didn't I tell you not to mess with the eldest wife?"

Gu Shuzhi had analyzed his uncle a long time ago. If nothing unexpected happened, he would probably never return to his family in Beijing in his lifetime.

After all, they are living a pretty good life out there.

Knowing that the eldest branch of the family posed no threat, he never considered his uncle's family as a competitor.

But now that the eldest wife is back, it's definitely not just a birthday celebration. His plans are all messed up.

Dealing with an uncle who has been trained as an heir since childhood and has experienced the hardships of the business world is much more difficult than dealing with the people in the second house.

Facing his son's deep and cold gaze, Gu Zhaoye shuddered and shook his head vigorously: "It's not me, I listened to you and didn't mess with my eldest brother's family."

Gu Shuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

If it's not his father, then it could be the second wife or grandmother.

Although they would have to confront each other sooner or later, he would not be bombarded with concentrated firepower by the eldest daughter right from the start, and he would have more time to make plans.

However, he then heard his father say weakly: "It seems to be our housekeeper."

"Grass!"

Gu Shuzhi felt like a screwed dog at the moment, and was so angry that he almost kicked over the chair, "Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Gu Zhaoye took a sip of wine and said weakly: “I wanted to tell you the day the housekeeper was arrested, but I forgot it when I was drunk.

Besides, this is none of our business. It's the housekeeper who has an old grudge against Gu Zhaoming. The case has been closed, so isn't it the same whether we talk about it or not?"

Gu Shuzhi closed his eyes deeply.

With such a pig teammate father, he will be pissed off sooner or later! Noticing Gu Shuzhi's ugly face, Gu Zhaoye also panicked, "Could it be that Gu Zhaoming will suspect us? Didn't the police investigate and close the case?"

Gu Shuzhi didn't want to talk to him and turned his head away silently.

Just then, I saw someone from the second room coming in, and his eyes became a little colder.

The seats for the Gu family's birthday party had been arranged long ago, and no seats were allocated to Gu Zhaoming's family in advance. Fortunately, the banquet hall was large enough and there was plenty of space near the main table, so Gu Hongwei had someone temporarily add a table.

Gu Yang glanced at the elders of the Gu family and took in their expressions.

It seems like many people don’t welcome dad.

When the time came, the birthday banquet officially began.

The descendants of the Gu family came forward to wish Gu Hongwei a happy birthday and give him gifts, and beautiful birthday wishes were heard everywhere.

The second branch of the Gu family was very active in getting to the front.

When Gu Shuda passed by Gu Yang and the others' table, he couldn't help but think of what happened that day and looked away awkwardly.

Such an embarrassing thing, let’s just pretend it never happened.

Gu Shuxue brought Ye Qingzi along when she celebrated his birthday.

Gu Shuxue introduced to Gu Hongwei: "Grandpa, this is Sister Qingzi, a direct descendant of the Ye family. She just returned from studying abroad last year and is a neurosurgeon at Kyoto Hospital.

I plan to apply for the medical major after the results come out, and I am currently consulting Sister Qingzi on this."

Ye Qingzi presented a gift in a gentle and elegant manner, "I wish Master Gu a long and healthy life."

Gu Hongwei was a little surprised and nodded to Ye Qingzi: "Miss Ye is thoughtful."

Then he looked at Gu Shuxue with a satisfied look in his eyes and told her, "Study hard from Miss Ye."

The Ye family is related by marriage to the Qin family, one of the four great families, and is on good terms with the Xiao family. Among the eight powerful families, their strength is far greater than that of the Gu family.

In the past, the Ye family would send their butler to present gifts or have the family elders attend birthday banquets. It was rare to see the Ye family's direct daughter.

Madam Gu looked at Gu Shuxue and called her over. "Shuxue, didn't you say that you could check your college entrance examination results today?"
