Gu Jingze looked at Gu Xiande. "Grandfather …"
"Alright, I know what I'm doing. Sit down."
Gu Jingze turned back to look at Mo Huiling. His gloomy face made people feel cold.
But he still sat down.
Lin Che said to himself, "Forget it, Gu Jingze. Today is Grandfather's birthday."
Gu Jingze nodded.
"There are so many people here. I have to respect Grandfather." Although Lin Che was unhappy, he still said so.
Gu Jingze remained silent. After hearing Lin Che's words, he silently nodded his head.
Everyone's attention was focused on Mo Huiling. Mo Huiling glanced at Lin Che beside her and said to Gu Xiande, "Grandpa Gu, it's been a long time since I've come to see you because of my body's inconvenience. I heard that it's your birthday today, so I asked Auntie to help me come and celebrate your birthday. This is my gift to you. I hope you like it."
"I'm surprised that you still remember it. It's not a big deal." Gu Xiande stood up and, to everyone's surprise, he came down to welcome Mo Huiling.
He looked down at Mo Huiling's stomach and nodded. "Take care of yourself. That's more important than anything else."
Mo Huiling felt her grandfather's hand patting her shoulder. She was so touched that she wanted to cry.
Especially at that moment, she felt the people around her looking at her in surprise.
Everyone looked at Mo Huiling, the sounds of discussion lingering in their ears.
"Aiya, the one in her stomach is already the best gift."
"She'll be amazing if Old Master Gu thinks so highly of her."
"This Miss Mo is really unexpected. But, she has really stolen the limelight today."
"Alright, save it. How can your gift compare to the one in her stomach? No one can steal the limelight from her today."
Everyone's attention was focused on Mo Huiling. There were some people who remembered Lin Che, but …
"Where's Lin Che?"
"Does he still dare to show up? I think Old Master Gu doesn't have time for him today."
"He used to like Lin Che and boasted about him. I think he's just so-so."
"That's right. He used to think highly of Lin Che. But from what I see, rumors can't be trusted."
Then, Mo Huiling said to Old Master Gu, "Grandpa, I prepared a gift to celebrate your birthday."
"Oh, really? What is it?"
Mo Huiling immediately asked someone to bring the things up.
Everyone watched as the two of them carried a massive object over and placed it in front of them, making everyone feel quite curious about what was inside.
Gu Xiande was stunned at first, then he said, "This is …"
Mo Huiling smiled and said, "This is a purple jade screen that I asked someone to find. I heard that Grandpa likes antiques, so I thought that Grandpa might like it."
"Ah, the purple jade screen … It's that screen from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. I heard that it was bought by a collector a few years ago, and there was no news of it after that. Many people said that it was sent overseas."
"Is it that screen worth tens of millions?"
"It doesn't matter how much it costs. The key is that no one will sell it. This will only become more and more valuable in the future. Who would sell it? Moreover, there is only one of it. You can't find it anywhere else. It's definitely worth a lot."
Gu Xiande looked at Mo Huiling abruptly before he walked over. He looked at the screen and reached out to touch it, looking very satisfied.
"Yeah, I was looking for someone to find this screen. I didn't expect that you would find it for me first."
Mo Huiling said, "Really? That's such a coincidence. I just asked someone to find it too."
"Good, good. Someone, find a seat for Miss Mo."
The servants hurriedly went to move the chairs, and everyone became even more chaotic. The sounds of discussion came one after another.
"Mo Huiling's gift is really generous. Where did you find such a screen?"
"That must be very expensive."
"Looks like Old Master Gu is really satisfied. He even praised it."
"Yeah, it's not easy to get a compliment from Old Master Gu."
Everyone looked at Mo Huiling enviously. She had given a good gift today, and Old Master Gu was so happy that he let her sit in the front, which made many people envious.
Mu Wanqing's face darkened. She stared at Mo Huiling with dissatisfaction when she saw that Mo Huiling actually sat in the seat.
Mo Huiling looked at Lin Che proudly.
She had just heard someone say, "Miss Mo has overshadowed Lin Che this time. She came with a belly and a gift, but Lin Che didn't even give her a gift."
"What can she give him? It's all Gu Jingze's preparation."
"Look at her now. Old Master Gu doesn't even look at Lin Che."
"He must have forgotten about her."
It wasn't that Lin Che didn't hear these discussions. Even if she couldn't hear them clearly, she could still see their eyes and expressions.
Mu Wanqing was furious. She looked at Lin Che, who was sitting there, and said to her, "I heard from Jingze that you prepared something for Grandpa. Take it out and show it to Grandpa."
Lin Che suddenly realized that it was really difficult to take out her gift. She saw that everyone's gifts were all expensive jewelry and antiques, but hers was …
However, seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lin Che had no choice but to stand up and say, "Grandpa, I made a gift for Grandpa."
When Gu Xiande heard this, he turned around and said, "Really? You made it yourself? What is it?"
Lin Che took out a relief painting. It was a relief painting made on paper. On it was a family portrait. The members of the Gu family were all in it. There was Gu Jingming, Gu Jingze, Lin Che, Yu Minmin, and … Gu Jingyu …
Gu Lanshan was watching from the side. When she saw Gu Jingyu, she immediately said, "Jingyu is here too. Little Che, you're really thoughtful. This family portrait is even more complete than the people at our table."
The people watching from the side also felt like laughing when they saw this gift.
This Lin Che was too shabby. He made a family portrait and gave it to her.
What kind of gift was this? She thought it was child's play.
Sure enough, Gu Xiande's expression changed suddenly.
Gu Lanshan watched from the side, deliberately smiling at Lin Che.
Lin Che said, "I just wanted to say that … the family is often not complete, so I made a family portrait for Grandpa. I hope that when Grandpa sees the people in it, he sees us …"
However, Gu Lanshan raised her head and looked at Lin Che. "Xiaoche, don't you know that Jingyu quarreled with her family and hasn't been home for a few years? Your grandfather has also said that he won't allow Gu Jingyu to return to the house for the rest of her life. Now that you've sent a family portrait with Gu Jingyu in it, what's the meaning of this?
Everyone was stunned.
No one had thought that there would be such a reason. They all looked at Lin Che worriedly.
This time, Lin Che's bootlicking had failed. Was he going to kiss the horse's leg instead?
However, at this moment …
"Who are you talking about?"
A lonely voice suddenly came from the door.
Everyone turned around in surprise. They saw Gu Jingyu, who hadn't appeared in the Gu family for a long time … appear at the entrance of the Gu family's house …
