Chapter 947: Second Uncle

Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Shuxue rolled her eyes and pulled Gu Shuda away. “Brother, let’s go.”

“Sigh, Sister, I’m not done yet…”

Gu Shuda was unsatisfied.

Gu Shuxue, filled with anger, snapped, “What are you talking about? Are you stupid? Gu Yang is from the main branch. No matter how outstanding she is or how noble her status, it’s beneficial to the main branch. What does it have to do with our second branch? I’m your biological sister!”

Gu Shuda was stunned for a moment. He scratched his head. “Sister, I want to brag about you too, but you have to give me something to brag about.”

Gu Shuxue’s heart skipped a beat. Furious, she left him behind.

Although Gu Shuda and Gu Shuxue had left, the awkward atmosphere lingered around Su Ying’er and the others.

Qin Shuling leaned back in her chair and glanced at Su Ying’er and the others. Her tone was a little nasty. “Did you hear that? Not only is Xiao Yang good-looking, but she’s also outstanding. Even Feng Xiaoxiao can’t get full marks on the College Entrance Examination, right?”

Su Ying’er didn’t criticize Gu Yang anymore, but she said indignantly, “Sister Xiaoxiao is a guaranteed student and has never taken the College Entrance Examination.”

Qin Shuling retorted, “She can get full marks just by guaranteed admission?”

Feng Xiaoxiao frowned. “Alright, you guys can continue chatting. Don’t drag me into this.”

With that, she got up and went elsewhere.

After Xiao Dingkun and Tong Wan formally introduced Gu Yang, the banquet officially started.

Gu Zhaoming’s family and the Xiao family’s direct descendants sat at the main table. Everyone knew each other and enjoyed a harmonious atmosphere.

Xiao Dingkun and Tong Wan introduced Gu Yang to the elders of the Xiao family.

Tong Wan pulled Gu Yang to a middle-aged man in a military uniform, who had a cold and stern demeanor, exuding an unyielding aura.

“Yangyang, this is your Second Uncle. He’s in the army all year round and, knowing you’re home, he took some time out to see you. He’ll be leaving again later.”

Gu Yang often saw this person on the military channel and felt very respectful towards him. She obediently called out, “Second Uncle.”

Xiao Zhenggan, usually cold and serious, reached out to pat her shoulder and revealed a kind smile. “Good child, it’s good that you’re back.”

He took out a red packet from his uniform and handed it to Gu Yang. “This is my greeting gift for you.”

Gu Yang smiled and took it, her posture natural and unrestrained. “Thank you, Second Uncle.”

The red packet was hard, indicating it contained a bank card.

Xiao Zhenggan caressed Gu Yang’s head and smiled even more kindly. The surrounding people were a little intimidated, knowing that this big shot’s kindness was rare and powerful.

Tong Wan then introduced Xiao Zhenggan’s wife to Gu Yang, who was also her Second Aunt-in-law.

Second Madam Xiao was not from a prominent family and was not the daughter of a wealthy family. She had served in the army with Xiao Zhenggan and appeared valiant and approachable.

She had always wanted a daughter but had given birth to two sons. Now that she saw Gu Yang, she liked her very much.

Second Madam Xiao held Gu Yang’s hand and said, “Your Second and Third Cousins have important missions they can’t leave, so they couldn’t attend your banquet. When they come back, I’ll have them come and apologize to you.”

Gu Yang shook her head. “Second and Third Cousin are working for the country. Their duties are more important. When the time comes, our family can get to know each other.”

The more Second Madam Xiao listened, the more she liked Gu Yang.

Xiao Dingkun then brought Gu Yang to another person. “Yangyang, this is your Third Uncle, the principal of the Military University.”
