Chapter 753: Ye Hanchen Is Your Brother, I’m Not
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Jin was still thoroughly enjoying the spectacle of university principals vying for her sister’s attention when she caught wind of a familiar voice. Turning, she found Xiao Yize standing nearby.
Her gaze briefly paused on his outstretched hand before she reciprocated the handshake, meeting his eyes. “Mr. Xiao, how have you been?”
Xiao Yize’s smile grew warmer.
Following that, Xiao Yize exchanged pleasantries with Gu Zhaoming and his family. “Uncle Gu, Auntie Ruan, Sister, and my two younger brothers.”
Gu Zhaoming, Ruan Xueling, and Gu Pei were all taken aback. They hadn’t anticipated Xiao Yize’s presence here. Moreover, amidst the discussions circulating around them, they gleaned that Xiao Yize’s status was far from ordinary.
Gu Yang also greeted him with a smile, inwardly noting that Teacher Xiao’s arrival came at an opportune moment, offering a chance for relaxation.
The surrounding principals, who had been engrossed in their pursuit of Gu Yang, were stunned by Xiao Yize’s appearance.
Gu Hongwei, seated at the main table, was likewise astonished to witness Xiao Yize exchanging pleasantries with Gu Zhaoming and his family.
As the head of the Gu Family, one of the Eight Great Clans, he had naturally encountered the heir of the Xiao Family before. However, he hadn’t anticipated their acquaintance with the eldest branch, let alone the depth of their relationship.
For this birthday banquet, representatives from both the Eight Great Clans and the four aristocratic families had arrived to present gifts. Yet, such gestures merely adhered to customary etiquette, the true significance hinged on the relationship between the families and the status of the attendees.
Gu Hongwei’s excitement prompted him to rise from his seat.
“Three perfect scores in the College Entrance Examination, followed by the presence of the heirs from the Xiao and Lin families… Zhaoming’s family has truly outdone themselves with surprises!”
Approaching them, Gu Hongwei extended his greetings. “Young Master Xiao, Young Master Lin, forgive me for not welcoming you sooner.”
“Wishing you a joyous birthday, Old Master Gu.”
After exchanging pleasantries, Xiao Yize and Lin Ran received the congratulatory gift from their assistant.
Gu Hongwei beamed with delight. “Thank you, thank you.”
Beside Ye Qingzi, Gu Shuxue furrowed her brows. “Sister Qingzi, didn’t you mention growing up with Young Master Xiao and Young Master Lin?”
Why did it seem like Xiao Yize was showing more warmth towards Eldest Uncle’s cousin, Gu Jin, than towards Ye Qingzi, his childhood friend?
Ye Qingzi’s expression tensed slightly. “Some matters are not known to outsiders.”
She gestured towards them. “Brother Yize, Lin Ran.”
Xiao Yize glanced at her, his tone chilly. “Ye Hanchen may be your brother, but I am not.”
Ye Qingzi was taken aback by Xiao Yize’s public embarrassment. She had hoped he would prioritize their family connections despite any personal grievances.
Glancing at Lin Ran for support, she was met with his surprised expression. “Why are you here as well?”
Tears pricked at Ye Qingzi’s eyes as she stared at Lin Ran, her resolve hardening. “Lin Ran, didn’t you see me?”
Lin Ran offered a sheepish apology. “I’m sorry, I genuinely didn’t notice.”
His attention had been captivated by Gu Yang and the principals of renowned schools vying for her attention. Ye Qingzi, amidst the crowd, had simply slipped under his radar.
Principal Xiao of Military University interjected, “Yize, what brings you here?”
Xiao Yize sidestepped the question, instead inquiring, “Third Uncle, I heard there were three perfect scores?”

Principal Xiao chuckled, pointing out Gu Yang, Gu Jin, and Feng Jue to Xiao Yize. “Indeed, these are your Uncle Gu’s children.”
“You’re acquainted with them as well? Excellent. Convince them to join our university and contribute to our nation’s defense!”
