Aunt Mei sent a message over, which immediately caused a commotion among the Gu family members.
At the Gu residence.
Finally, a new message popped up on his phone. Old Master Gu's entire body was energized, and he immediately sat up straight on the sofa.
"She's here, she's here. Let me see our little princess."
Upon hearing Old Master Gu's words, the two youths, who looked about the same age as Lin Xi, hurriedly put down the game in their hands and ran over excitedly. "Grandpa, did Grandma Mei send a photo over? Let me see. "
Even the eldest brother of the Gu family, who looked very mature, curiously moved closer to Old Master Gu.
The few of them gathered together and waited for Old Master Gu's old phone to spin a few times before a clear photo finally popped up.
"This is Xiao Xi?"
"Let me see."
"She looks good!"
"Of course, don't you know which family she's from?" Old Master Gu held his phone, unable to contain the joy on his face, as if Lin Xi was right in front of him at this moment.
"She really looks quite similar to Second Brother," the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Feng, said as he nodded.
However, his words were met with a glare from Old Master Gu. "My granddaughter is so cute, how does she look like that bastard Gu Shao?"
"She does look quite similar to Second Uncle," Gu Yanxiao said from the side.
In exchange, Old Master Gu rolled his eyes.
"No, Xiao Xi looks more like your Grandma."
"Grandma doesn't have dimples. Look, Xiao Xi has a dimple here," Gu Chenyi said as he pointed at Lin Xi's dimple in the photo.
Old Master Gu was still stubborn. "That's just like me." In short, it had nothing to do with that bastard.
After saying that, Old Master Gu pretended to snort again. "This Gu Shao actually wanted to hide it from me after finding my daughter. If I hadn't asked Wang Wu about it, I would still be in the dark!"
Although Old Master Gu was scolding Gu Shao, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Hearing Old Master Gu's words, Gu Feng couldn't help but laugh secretly. Aunt Mei had worked in this family for decades, and she was just like a housekeeper. It was hard not to think too much when Old Master Gu called Aunt Mei over.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma Mei seems to have sent a new message. Go out and take a look."
"I know. Isn't holding it the same as' f * cking '?"
"Grandpa, just click on this photo and leave."
"Grandpa, can't you change to a faster phone?" The four of them looked at the loading circle on the phone anxiously.
Finally, another photo of Lin Xi appeared on the phone.
"It looks even better from this angle!"
"Quick, there are still photos. Swipe them to the left."
Another photo.
However, this photo showed Lin Xi carrying the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.
Old Master Gu frowned. "This Aunt Mei, why did she let Xiao Xi clean up the bowls and chopsticks? I have to have a good talk with her later. If there aren't enough people, I'll call two more people over. "
The three men on the side also nodded in agreement.

After chasing the other three away, Gu Qinghua held the phone in front of his late wife's photo.
"Old lady, look, Second Brother's wife looks exactly like you when you were young."
He said a few more words to his wife's photo. Old Master Gu hugged the photo and laughed secretly. "We also have a little princess in our family."
The Gu family had only had sons for several generations, and they had never had a daughter. Back then, his wife had finally gotten pregnant with a daughter, but she had died unexpectedly just as she was about to give birth. This had become an eternal pain in Old Master Gu's heart.
Old Master Gu sighed softly and took out his phone again. He held the phone and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't bear to put it down.
In the end, he exited the phone and opened his old friend's WeChat. He shouted a voice message, "So what if you have a daughter in your family?"
Then, he played it for himself and listened to it twice.
On the other end, Old Master Shen, who had received Old Master Gu's voice message, was speechless.
"What's wrong with this Gu Qinghua?" Old Master Shen was almost deaf from his shouting.

On the other end, Lin Xi still didn't know that she had been "betrayed" by Aunt Mei.
After eating, Lin Xi returned to her room. She put away her textbooks and read the chapters that she had missed in the past few days.
Then, she took out her phone again.
On her phone, Lin Xi was surprised to find that the application to join the group that she had forgotten about had actually been accepted.
Lin Xi looked at the very chuunibyou name of the group, [Battle of Tiancheng Summit], and the corners of her mouth twitched.
She clicked into the group. Lin Xi didn't see the heated discussion that she had imagined. There were only three people in the group, including herself. One was the group leader called [AAA], one was her, and the other was a gray profile picture of [Lin], who was obviously offline.
There were only a few messages in the group record, and they were all from the group leader.
[AAA]: I'm determined to win this Tiancheng Summit!
[AAA]: Let's do it together.
[AAA]: Say something.
…
At this moment, a new message finally popped up in the group. It was from the group leader.
[AAA]: @ X, welcome to the new team member!
Lin Xi, who was about to leave the group chat, paused in mid-air.
[X]: Sorry, group leader, I joined the group because I wanted to communicate with you.
She wasn't qualified to participate in a competition at the level of the Tiancheng Summit.
[AAA]: Communication is fine, communication is fine. Since you're here, don't leave.
[AAA]: I've done a very in-depth analysis of the competition this time. We can all share our experiences together.
[X]: But why doesn't it seem like there's anyone here?
She remembered that the forum seemed to be quite lively today. Could it be that they were scared off by this unreliable group leader?
The group leader gave an explanation. [AAA]: Those people are just here to join in the fun, or they already have a team. They're just here to inquire about the situation. Of course, they won't really join the group.
Really?
Lin Xi was stunned. Why did it feel like she had been tricked into joining?
There was another person who wasn't online.
[AAA]: Are you alone or do you already have a team?
[X]: I'm alone.
[AAA]: Haha, that's great. Then you can join our team.
Was he so careless?
Lin Xi complained.
Because she didn't know how to tell him that she didn't plan to participate in such a high-level competition, Lin Xi could only casually say, "I'll think about it."
[AAA]: It's okay. You're full of thoughts. Since you're already in the group, we'll always reserve a spot for you in our team.
[X]: Thank you.
Lin Xi left the group chat. She hesitated for a moment. She pitied the group leader, but in the end, she didn't leave the group.
There weren't many people in this group. It probably wouldn't take long for it to disappear naturally.
…
The next day, when Lin Xi woke up, Aunt Mei had already prepared breakfast for her and Gu Shao.
After breakfast, Lin Xi still stayed at home. Aunt Mei went out halfway.
When she returned in the afternoon, Aunt Mei was already carrying a bunch of things in her hands. In addition, there were two boxes of things in the hands of the two delivery men behind her.
Lin Xi originally thought that these were Aunt Mei's luggage. However, she saw Aunt Mei take out a box first and hand it to her with a smile on her face.
"Miss Xiao Xi, this is a new cell phone I bought for you. See if you like it."
Lin Xi took the box in a daze.
It was a new cell phone. The model seemed to be the latest model. It was pink in color and there were a few cute bowknot patterns on the back of the phone. It seemed to be a custom-made model.
Before Lin Xi could recover from her shock, Aunt Mei pointed to the other boxes and said, "These are also prepared for Miss Xiao Xi."
"These are all clothes. These are school bags and some school supplies. Miss Xiao Xi, aren't you going to school soon? You should be able to use these. "
Aunt Mei opened the boxes and was greeted by a sea of pink.
Pink clothes, pink shoes, pink hair clip, pink school bag, pink stationery bag … pink pens …... pink clothes …... pink shoes, pink hair clip …... pink school bag …... pink school bag …... pink stationery bag …... pink pen...
Other than a few white items, the rest were all pink. Some were dark, some were light, some were bright, and some were dark. There were all kinds of shades of pink.
"In a while, bring these stationery in first. Granny Mei will help you wash your clothes before you wear them," Aunt Mei said.
Lin Xi finally recovered from her shock.
"Thank you, Granny Mei." It was difficult to refuse such kindness.
However …
"How much do these cost? I'll pay you," Lin Xi said again.
Although Granny Mei and Gu Shao seemed to be old acquaintances, Lin Xi could not accept so many things from her.
Aunt Mei smiled and explained, "I didn't spend any of Grandma Mei's money. I just worked as a porter."
These were all things that the Gu family had bought for Lin Xi. She had only moved them over after receiving a call.
Old Master Gu had bought the cell phone.
Yesterday, Old Master Gu had stared at Lin Xi's photo for a long time. In the end, he had discovered that the screen of Lin Xi's cell phone on the table had cracked. Thus, he had made a call and ordered someone to buy a new cell phone for Lin Xi overnight. He had even requested that it be the best looking one.
— —
Upon hearing Aunt Mei's words, Lin Xi thought that Aunt Mei had bought the cell phone for Gu Shao's money.
However, she did not know whether this honeyed pink color was Gu Shao's taste or Aunt Mei's.
Lin Xi's gaze landed on the pink color again. She could not help but rub her eyes.
…
In the evening, when Gu Shao returned home, Lin Xi had already folded the pink clothes that Aunt Mei had washed and dried and placed them in the wardrobe. Of course, there were also the pink school bags and stationery.
Lin Xi placed the cell phone on the table to synchronize it.
It would take some time to synchronize the contents of her previous cell phone to the new cell phone.
Gu Shao walked into the living room and immediately noticed the cell phone on the table. He looked at Aunt Mei.
"Old Master sent this over," Aunt Mei replied. After a pause, she continued, "He also sent some clothes and stationery for school."
Gu Shao frowned but did not say anything in the end.
"Sir, have you eaten yet? I'll cook some noodles for you, "Aunt Mei asked.
"No need, I've already eaten," Gu Shao refused.
At this moment, Lin Xi's cell phone synchronization was already 98% complete.
The only audio file that was being synchronized caught Gu Shao's attention. "Evidence?"
