Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Ancestor Teaches You to Share Ordinary Joys

Lady Shangguan’s hysterical screams startled everyone present.

This kind of questioning clearly didn’t feel like from a distant relative, but more like Mr. Gu’s own daughter accusing inequality among sisters.

Could there really be some connection between Lady Shangguan and the deceased Gu Shiyin?

It’s said that nowadays, cosmetic surgery is so advanced that one can adjust their height and body shape slightly, let alone change their face.

Could it be as Xi Rubao said, that the Lady Shangguan we see before us is not the real Lady Shangguan?

That would be terrifying.

Is this Gu Shiyin returning with a new skin for revenge?

If Mr. Gu recognizes her now, will he once again show favoritism like he did with Gu Qiusha?

All eyes turned to the elder looking even more worn and fragile on the steps.

They saw Mr. Gu’s lips quivering slightly, but his gaze was firm and profound: "Lady Shangguan."

These four words stopped Lady Shangguan’s screams; she sensed Mr. Gu’s attitude!

Indeed.

Mr. Gu spoke each word clearly: "This is our Gu Family, it’s not your place, Lady Shangguan, to criticize and question my attitude towards Sha Sha. As for whether you sent fraudulent texts, threatened Yu Zhi, spread hot-air balloon rumors, ruining my family’s Sha Sha’s reputation... I believe the police will provide a fair resolution."

Lady Shangguan’s eyes became dull, and she seemed deflated like an empty balloon, having lost her final support.

The crowd: "...!"

They expected Mr. Gu to waver on whether to support Gu Shiyin, but who knew he would decisively refuse to acknowledge her, drawing a clear boundary!

It turns out that not everyone qualifies to be shielded.

Gu Jingyan stood beside Mr. Gu, and upon hearing this, immediately turned to Yin Hu: "Then, please disturb this gentleman..."

Yin Hu swiftly replied: "Mr. Bo already instructed, I will follow up on this affair thoroughly. I will hand over both evidence and people to the police."

Kid, you don’t need to handle this favor; my boss had already arranged it.

Gu Jingyan awkwardly pursed his lips, looking at the peach branch where Zuzi was, and said no more.

The banquet was ruined, and an internal traitor causing trouble emerged, leaving the relatives momentarily bewildered.

The atmosphere turned cold.

Zuzi upon the peach branch suddenly smiled slightly: "Xiao Tao, is there some happy news you want to announce?"

Qin Tao was stunned, then realized, her cheeks flushing red.

Knowing that Zuzi gave her a chance to stand out before the relatives, also to ease the unexpected tense mood, Qin Tao boldly took her husband’s hand and approached Mr. Gu:

"Dad, we originally planned to tell everyone later, but today is a good day, with everyone here, so we’ll just announce it now."

Mr. Gu turned to them with a puzzled look, still somewhat jumpy from the earlier unexpected shocks: "You..."

You won’t also announce something shocking, will you?

Qin Tao’s cheeks were flushed with embarrassment: "Husband, you say it."

Mr. Gu chuckled foolishly: "Dad, we’ve added another granddaughter for you! The pregnancy just reached three months today, so we can make it public. Oh right, it’s twins!"

The crowd: "...!"

Isn’t Qin Tao in her forties, even fifties, yet she can still have children?? And twins at that, little cotton-padded jackets? That’s enviable!

Mr. Gu’s surprise turned to joy: "Good, good, granddaughters are good, you lacked daughters, this is fulfilling!"

Xi Rubao: "Wow, I’m finally not the youngest in the family anymore, haha, I’m so happy!"

Gu Qiusha: "I need to prepare a big red envelope for the little nieces."

The atmosphere on site suddenly became joyful, congratulations from the relatives were endless.

Everyone realized, whether Zuzi is Gu Yuzhi’s daughter or not, doesn’t matter.

Whether Lady Shangguan is Gu Shiyin haunting them, draped in a human skin Ma Jia, also doesn’t matter.

What matters is, Lady Shangguan’s careful plotting all ended in vain, a futile effort.

And the family could finally put aside outmoded prejudices to gather together and share the joys in ordinary life...
