Gu Xiujin responded, "That's good then, Sister Yan. I'm very curious about what kind of child you'll raise." His voice was gentle.
Among the children raised by the father, an elder brother emerged. If it weren't for his sister-in-law acting as a scabbard, who knows what would have become of him.
Among the children raised by the eldest brother was a girl named Yan Jie'er who was completely out of control and had already shown amazing talent at a young age.
He was very curious about what kind of children Yan Jie'er would raise after this generation had all given birth to their own children.
What will happen to the twins, Ah Jin or Ah Shen?
Gu Nanyan smiled faintly, "Once Third Uncle gets off the plane, he'll call you Uncle Shi." He changed the subject.
“Si Nan, it’s not bad to take your brother-in-law’s surname.” Gu Xiujin didn’t continue the previous topic. “Jiang Bei, you came up with this name quite casually.”
It has no meaning whatsoever; it simply uses the middle generational ranking.
"It's just a temporary pseudonym, why take it so seriously? Besides, the more casual you are, the less likely you are to make a mistake." Gu Nanyan took a sip of tea. "This tea is quite good, Uncle. Did you and Uncle grow it yourselves?"
“Hmm,” Gu Xiujin said with tenderness in his eyes, “Slater was interested in these things, so I helped him plant quite a few. They are just ordinary tea leaves, so they can’t compare to the famous green teas like West Lake Longjing.”
Despite saying this, Gu Xiujin believed that the tea cultivated by his lover was far more precious than the tea that could be obtained with money and power.
"If you like, I'll give you some when you get back."
"Then thank you very much, Third Uncle." Gu Nanyan picked up his teacup and took two sips.
Soon, the plane arrived at Fuyun Island.
Even just looking out the window, Shen Bei'an could already sense the heavy security.
Looking around, there were armed guards everywhere, and many plainclothes officers were conducting searches.
Gu Xiujin gave Gu Nanyan a look, then pulled Slater off the plane, and Gu Nanyan also took Shen Beian's hand and walked off together.
"Greetings, young man, to Third Master Gu and the Duke of Windsor."
As soon as Gu Xiujin stepped off the plane, a young man in a blue robe and jade belt came up to greet him and pay his respects.
On the left breast of his robe was a silver-lined emblem, which Gu Nanyan immediately recognized as the insignia of the Enforcement Division.
The blue robe and jade belt were also the attire of the guards of the Enforcement Division.
“Commander Zou, please rise.” Gu Xiujin said calmly, “This is my nephew Si Nan. Because of the passing of an old friend, she is here on behalf of her friend to attend the auction. She will be traveling with me. This is my nephew’s lover Jiang Bei. The two have just gotten married and are here for their honeymoon.”
The man known as Commander Zou stood up and looked at Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian.
He already had information on these two people.
Si Nan, a distant descendant of the Brown family, a noble family in medieval Western Europe, came to inherit her distant uncle's estate after the family's only surviving member passed away. Despite being the target of many eyes and ears, she fought her way out and successfully inherited the estate.
As for Jiangbei, he was the only child of a well-off family in Yuhang, whom Si Nan met while wandering in the empire. He was spoiled by his parents.
The two traveled extensively throughout Western Europe, and their reputation for being arrogant and spoiled was known to every family in Western Europe.
Zou Ke's face was full of smiles. "With the arrival of Patriarch Brown and Lord Brown, I, Ke, naturally have the honor of welcoming them with open arms."
The Brown family wields considerable power in Western Europe.
Gu Nanyan looked arrogant and unruly. "Is that so? This is my first time attending an auction on Fuyun Island. I hope you won't disappoint me." His tone was lazy and nonchalant, with a hint of roguishness.
Zou Ke was not surprised by this attitude, after all, he was a capable rogue. "Please rest assured, Patriarch Brown, Fuyun Island will definitely make your trip worthwhile."
Shen Beian, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned.
How come he didn't know his wife was such a good actress?
Xiao Qi arrived at this time as well.
"Greetings, Lord Xiao." Zou Ke turned and bowed to Xiao Qi, a member of the Enforcement Division.
"Mm." Xiao Qi nodded and bowed to Gu Xiujin, "Greetings, Third Master, and Madam."
Wushang Loulan is a power of the Gu family, which is no secret on Fuyun Island.
Gu Xiujin stepped forward and patted Xiao Qi on the shoulder, "It's been a long time."
Even during holidays and festivals, Xiao Qi had to stay on Fuyun Island.
Xiao Qi smiled brightly, her radiant face full of joy. "Third Master is right. If Madam agrees, Qi is willing to have a drink with Third Master tonight."
Slater spoke softly, "No need for that. Ah Jin still needs to attend the medical exchange conference in a few days. You might as well have tea instead of wine tonight."
The blonde, blue-eyed beauty also had a smile on her face.
Xiao Qi's real name is Gu Xingxiao, which is known to everyone in the Gu family, including Slater.
Seeing this, Zou Ke lowered his head and said, "Since Lord Xiao is personally welcoming Third Master and the Duke of Windsor, I will not disturb the three of you from catching up."
"Thank you for your help, Commander Zou." It was most appropriate for Gu Xiujin to speak first.
"How dare we?" Zou Ke said repeatedly. They dared not offend the Gu family.
It's also thanks to Gujia's neutral stance that things could have been so bad...
Over there, Xiao Qi quickly led the four people into the car.
"My lord, my master." After getting into the carriage, Xiao Qi's voice was even more respectful than before, and his face no longer had the usual smile, but was more serious.
Gu Xiujin was not surprised by this. Xiao Qi respected him because she was from a collateral branch of the Gu family, while he was the third master of the direct line of the Gu family.
As for Gu Nanyan, he is the head of the Gu family.
Speaking of which, it's only natural that everyone in the Gu family, except for Gu Xiuhuang and Old Master Gu, addresses Gu Nanyan as "Master".
"Hmm, is everything arranged?" Gu Nanyan had already explained everything to Xiao Qi before he came.
“Everything is arranged. The Sixth Young Master originally planned to travel with Xiao, but then realized he was delayed by other matters and is now waiting for the four of you,” Xiao Qi replied.
“There’s no need to be so serious,” Gu Nanyan said with a smile, putting his arm around Shen Bei’an’s waist. “Once things are settled here, you can go back to the capital and stay with An’an.”
"Xiao understands."
Xiao Qi's eyes were filled with smile,
Return to Beijing!
Hui people!
And being able to stay by the lord's side is the best thing ever.
Everyone knows that in the past, if someone made a mistake, as long as they were with their lord, they would be punished less severely.
Moreover, the benefits of being by the lord's side go far beyond this; those close to the lord always get the best resources first.
People like Yan Wu and Yan Yin saw their martial prowess increase dramatically simply by staying by their lord's side.
Shen Beian tugged at Gu Nanyan's sleeve, "Yanyan, does the Brown family really exist?"
He still hadn't gotten to the bottom of this matter, and it seemed the Brown family was quite powerful; otherwise, Commander Zou wouldn't have been so obsequious.
"It does exist, but it was acquired by the Onassis family during my grandmother's generation, so outsiders have never known about it," Gu Nanyan explained calmly.
