The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 427: Quan Jin: My Genes Are Excellent

Quan Jin will definitely question her about concealing her identity.

In any case, anything could happen, and it wouldn’t be easy to wrap things up.

Awkward situations should be avoided if possible.

"So this is what you’re worried about, Yuanyuan. You should know that with Grandma in charge, who dares to act presumptuously towards you? Even Jin must stand aside." Yu Rujin offered Gu Yuan comfort and assurance.

Gu Yuan smiled and shook her head, calling out, "Grandma."

A bit helpless, she was still politely declining.

She was really worried that if she attended the family banquet, Quan Jin might make it very awkward. She didn’t want the family banquet, which Grandma had happily prepared, to turn into a bad thing because of her.

Yu Rujin took Gu Yuan’s hand, gently patting the back of it, "This family banquet is specially prepared for you by Grandma. Don’t you want to meet the elders in the family formally? And also Jin’s parents?" She added, "There are quite a few people of the same generation too. With me here, you can rest assured."

The implication was that with Yu Rujin backing her up, even if Gu Yuan sat at the main seat tonight, no one would dare say a word against it.

After all, in this house, she still had the final say.

The old lady was just that domineering.

Gu Yuan politely declined the goodwill: "Let’s wait for later, for when I can attend the family banquet with him together..."

These were just Gu Yuan’s words.

Yu Rujin heard much bittersweetness in them, and could only nod in agreement, "As you wish, let’s not go this time. Rest assured in the West Wing, and I will take good care of Suisui."

Gu Yuan nodded, the smile reaching her eyes, "Alright."

She thought that in the future, there would surely be a chance to attend all the Quan family banquets with dignity alongside Quan Jin.

Who knew when that future would be, Gu Yuan thought.

As Yu Rujin released her hand, she didn’t forget to say, "If Jin returns this afternoon, I’ll have him accompany you." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Gu Yuan pressed her lips together, thinking this might be difficult.

Since Old Madam Quan had returned today, the old house was particularly lively, with a festive atmosphere as if it were the New Year.

After noon, close to three in the afternoon, Quan Jin returned to the old house.

He entered through the huafang gate.

The servants all greeted Quan Jin one by one.

He bypassed the decorative wall, walked through the spacious corridor, and passed through the courtyard.

Today, the entire old house had an exceptionally good atmosphere. The servants were particularly busy because the old lady was back—everything needed arranging, tidying, and sprucing up. Quan Jin heard from the butler that the old lady was in the East Wing, and his mother, Mu Lan, along with a few aunts, were also there. He was prepared to head that way, but then he changed direction toward the North House.

Because the butler also mentioned his father and a few uncles were over there.

However, on the way there, he learned from the butler that that woman had come to Yanjing with Grandma and was staying at the old house.

He asked the butler, "Has Fifth Uncle also returned?"

The butler paused for a moment. The young master rarely asked about his uncles right upon returning. The butler shook his head and replied, "Fifth Master has been in Sui City for a while. I heard from Fu that he’s back in Hai City for an important project approval."

"Are you sure my Fifth Uncle hasn’t returned?" To Quan Jin, wasn’t that woman’s presence at the old house because of Fifth Uncle?

If Fifth Uncle wasn’t here, what was she doing at the old house?

Continuing to play his good wife?!

The butler replied, "Fifth Master truly hasn’t returned to Yanjing. If the young master needs to contact him, you’ll have to do so yourself."

"No need, I understand." Quan Jin, smiling, headed to the North House.

Several uncles had already heard of his return and were waiting in the North House.

Times had changed, and Quan Jin was no longer the only grandson in the Quan family.

The children from the prestigious family mostly established their careers early, marrying late. Several uncles were already successful in their fields but had matured into middle-aged men by now. Except for Quan Jin’s parents, his third uncle, who married his childhood sweetheart from the compound early, and both second and fourth uncles married at around thirty, and their wives are very young. The second aunt is about the same age as Quan Jin, while the fourth aunt is several years younger than Quan Jin...

Except for his dad, Quan Xishen, and the wives of the third and second uncles, the fourth uncle’s young wife didn’t have such good family background. Marrying into the Quan family was also considered a step up in class.

As for Fifth Uncle, everyone knew he was cultivating himself, portraying the image of someone with one foot almost in monastic life.

Now, as the descendants of the Quan family gradually increase, the uncles have all spread their branches. A few years ago, the Quan family welcomed two new boys, and there was also a young granddaughter. Last year, another young granddaughter was added. Currently, the youngest granddaughter, only one and a half years old and still a toddler, is the fourth uncle’s daughter.
