Chapter 946: Gu Shuxue, That Gu Yang?
Editor: Henyee Translations
On the stage of the banquet hall, Gu Yang stood between Xiao Dingkun and Tong Wan. Despite the curious gazes from the crowd, she remained elegant and composed.
Xiao Dingkun took the microphone and personally delivered a speech. His expression was serious, but he could not hide the joy of a father finding his daughter.
“This is the daughter of my wife, Tong Wan, Xiao Yang. Her name is also Gu Yang now. I’m very grateful to Mr. Gu Zhaoming and Madam Ruan Xueling…”
After introducing Gu Yang, Xiao Dingkun publicly thanked Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling.
When Gu Yang appeared, many people felt she looked familiar. Xiao Dingkun’s introduction caused quite a stir in the banquet hall, especially among Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Ji, who were gossiping.
“Gu Yang?!”
The two of them were stunned. Their eyes met, and they were both dumbfounded.
Mrs. Chu said, “Didn’t you say that Gu Yang is Tong Rao’s daughter? How did she become Tong Wan’s daughter?”
Mrs. Ji was also surprised. “I don’t know. Did Third Madam Gu mix up Tong Wan and Tong Rao?”
Qin Shuzhen, the wife of the Ye family, was equally shocked.
She looked at Tong Wan, who was smiling happily on stage, and the elegant and composed Gu Yang beside her. In her surprise, she accidentally knocked over the champagne on the table.
She recognized Gu Yang. Her daughter, Ye Qingzi, had mentioned her before. It had to be said that both Gu Yang and her sister were very outstanding. It was no wonder they were close with Xiao Yize. But she never expected Gu Yang to be Tong Wan’s biological daughter.
Mrs. Luo noticed the spilled champagne and asked, “What’s wrong, Mrs. Ye?”
Qin Shuzhen called a waiter over to clean up and smiled. “It’s nothing. I’m just a little surprised. I didn’t expect Ah-Wan’s daughter to be the one the Gu family’s eldest branch mistakenly took in.”
“That Gu Yang, I think I heard Xiangying mention her before?” Mrs. Luo looked at her sister-in-law, Luo Xiangying.
Luo Xiangying nodded. “She and Mingxiu are friends. She scored full marks in the College Entrance Examination last year, and Master Qu Mo praised her piano performance. She’s an outstanding girl.”
Although Luo Xiangying held a grudge against Gu Yang because Fu Mingxiu couldn’t forget her, she couldn’t deny that Gu Yang was indeed very outstanding.
Qin Shuzhen smiled and said, “I knew Ah-Wan’s daughter would be outstanding. I’m really happy for her.”
The young people’s tables were especially lively.
Su Ying’er was shocked. She pulled Gu Shuxue over and pointed at Gu Yang, who was smiling gently and obediently on the stage of the banquet hall. “Gu Shuxue, is she that Gu Yang from your family?”
Some time ago, the Gu family’s eldest branch had returned to the capital and attracted a lot of attention. Among them, Gu Zhaoming’s three children, who had scored full marks in the College Entrance Examination, were especially outstanding. Gu Yang and Gu Jin’s names were often mentioned; they were the epitome of exemplary children.
Su Ying’er had also heard of them.
Gu Shuxue nodded reluctantly. She felt suffocated and did not want to speak at all.
Her brother, Gu Shuda, was very enthusiastic. He was as happy as a fool. “That’s right, that’s right. That’s my cousin, Gu Yang.”
Qin Shuling tilted her head and looked at Su Ying’er with a teasing gaze. “Village girl? Junior college?”
“What village girl? My little cousin was raised by my eldest uncle. Touch your conscience and say that her looks and temperament have nothing to do with village girls.”
“Moreover, my little cousin is the top scorer who scored full marks in the College Entrance Examination. She studies in Hua University’s Physics Department and excels in many subjects. She’s definitely a god of studies!”
Gu Shuda, an ignorant and incompetent playboy, loved to join in the fun. Seeing the young masters of wealthy families, whom he usually couldn’t approach, all looking at him, he became even more enthusiastic.
