"Is that so? Come on, Lass Lu. Why are you being so formal?" Gu Xiande said.
"No way. These are the supplements my father brought back from the Arctic. I'll bring a sample over for Grandfather to take a look. My father said that they're extremely good."
"Then, thank you for going through such a trouble."
Lu Chuxia smiled and went out to retrieve the gift.
Everywhere she went, people stared and looked at her.
A bystander even said, "The person inside must be the highly-respected Old Master of the Gu family."
"Yes."
"It's my first time ever seeing him. Although I saw him from this far away, at least I still saw him."
"Of course. Don't you see? Every single person beside him is part of the most prominent family, the Gu family. The Old Master of the Gu family has a strange temper. He definitely won't allow just anyone to go close to him."
"That's true. Now that I look at them, aren't the people beside him the few most prominent characters in the Gu family?"
"It looks like Old Master really likes that Miss Lu."
"Look at how affectionate Old Master is to her."
"Forget it. You shouldn't have any wild hopes unless you're also as capable as Miss Lu and have such a powerful background."
Lu Chuxia naturally felt very proud when she heard this. She hummed as she walked past them and even the corners of her lips involuntarily tilted upwards.
Once she returned, she gave more gifts to Old Master Gu again. It made Gu Xiande immensely pleased. As she sat there, it incited even more envy from others.
Then, someone announced that Gu Jingming and Gu Jingze had arrived.
The people at the back hastily stood up to greet Mr. President and Gu Jingze.
The two brothers came in one after another. They were of similar stature and appearance but had different auras. As the President, Gu Jingming was naturally brimming with righteousness. On the other hand, Gu Jingze was accustomed to keeping a low profile and displaying coldness. His aura felt more like the deep night assaulting one's senses. Lin Che followed by his side. The three of them were just like a beautiful piece of scenery that kept attracting the wide attention of those around them.
Lu Chuxia was coincidentally lifting her head when she saw that Lin Che had actually come along too. Seeing that Gu Xiande was here, Gu Jingming and Gu Jingze first went over to speak to Old Master.
"Grandfather, you're here."
"Grandfather." The two of them lowered their heads respectfully.
"Alright, alright. All of you, sit down. Hey, Little Che. I was wondering why I didn't see you at all earlier. Quick, come over here."
When Gu Xiande saw Lin Che, he quickly called her over.
Lin Che hastily smiled and walked towards him. With Old Master Gu's gaze on her, her smile remained extremely clear. She did not greet him in as formal a manner as the two brothers and said intimately, "Grandfather, you're here."
Gu Xiande said, "Yes. I'm old now. However, I still like joining in the fun too."
"If Grandfather still didn't come, there would've been a huge argument. Grandfather was correct to come."
"Huh? Who was creating trouble?" Gu Xiande asked.
Lin Che said, "Who else can it be? It was Gu Jingze."
"Him? How did he create trouble?" Gu Xiande asked her with great interest.
Lin Che said, "He kept bullying me earlier for my ignorance. This wedding is really a huge affair and so many people came. It's my first time attending such a huge wedding, so of course, there are many things I don't know about. He kept mocking me, hmph."
