Chapter 752: Why Did Brother Yize Come to the Gu Family?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Principal Li of Hua University, Principal Huang from Capital University, and Principal Xiao of Military University exchanged glances. They subtly positioned themselves between the other principals, forming a protective circle around Gu Yang.

Principal Xiao of Military University stepped forward, his demeanor resolute and impassioned. “Gu Yang, your essay exudes patriotism and a deep concern for our nation’s welfare. Join us at Military University!”

“With our combined efforts, we’ll fortify our armed forces and bolster our nation. Together, we’ll defend our homeland and safeguard our people!”

Principal Huang approached Gu Yang with a warm smile. “While the military is crucial for national strength, talents like you with high IQs can contribute immensely to our country’s technological advancement!”

“Our military might is formidable, but our true need lies in technological development. We lack scientific and technological talents like yourself, Yangyang. Capital University awaits your contributions!”

Principal Li also moved towards Gu Yang, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm. “Gu Yang, science and technology not only enhance our nation’s strength but also drive its prosperity.”

“At Hua University, we boast state-of-the-art laboratories and a formidable research team. Join us in championing the great rejuvenation of China!”

Under the intense scrutiny of the three principals, Gu Yang felt an overwhelming sense of guilt, realizing that rejecting any of them would be akin to committing a sin.

All eyes in the banquet hall fixated on Gu Yang, awaiting her decision with bated breath.

Observing Gu Yang and the others being fervently sought after by the prestigious school principals, jealousy stirred among Ye Qingzi, Gu Shuxue, and the other attendees.

Suddenly, a stir erupted at the entrance of the banquet hall.

“Who’s making such a flashy entrance?”

“Goodness, Young Master Lin?! Did the Lin family really send their heir to attend the Gu family’s birthday celebration?”

“Miss Ye Qingzi’s presence alone is quite unexpected. But this… this is another level of surprise.”

“Who’s accompanying Young Master Lin? He’s incredibly handsome!”

“Moreover, Young Master Lin seems to prioritize his companion. There aren’t many individuals in the capital who can command such attention.”

Gu Yang turned her gaze towards the entrance and spotted Xiao Yize and Lin Ran making their way towards the main table. The crowd instinctively parted to make way for them.

Xiao Yize was clad in a sleek black suit, his handsome features exuding a cold and serious demeanor, radiating the aura of someone accustomed to high positions. It was a stark departure from the easygoing elegance he displayed in Jin City.

Lin Ran, on the other hand, still sported flamboyant attire. Though his hair was now dyed black, his pink floral shirt remained conspicuously eye-catching, akin to a vibrant butterfly. Fortunately, despite his somewhat feminine appearance, he managed to retain a masculine air.

Ye Qingzi was slightly stunned when she saw Xiao Yize.

The Xiao and Gu families had no apparent connection. Why would Brother Yize deign to grace the Gu family with his presence?

Gu Shuxue’s gaze lingered on Xiao Yize as she inquired of Ye Qingzi, “Sister Qingzi, who is the person beside Young Master Lin? Are you acquainted with him?”

“He’s my Brother Yize,” Ye Qingzi replied composedly.

Gu Shuxue was taken aback.

So this was Xiao Yize, the heir of the prestigious Xiao family, known for his rare appearances in public!

The Xiao family, leading among the four aristocratic families in the capital, held an indisputable status.

Moreover, not only was Young Master Xiao of esteemed standing, but he was also remarkably handsome… It was no wonder Sister Qingzi had chosen to pursue medical studies overseas for him.

Ye Qingzi rose from her seat and approached Xiao Yize and Lin Ran with a friendly smile. “Brother Yize, Lin Ran, when did you both return to the capital?”

Despite any misunderstandings Brother Yize might harbor towards her, he wouldn’t publicly embarrass her out of respect for her mother and Auntie Tong’s friendship.

However, Xiao Yize appeared to pay no heed. Instead, he halted beside Gu Jin, gracefully extending his hand towards her. “Miss Gu, it’s been a while.”

Ye Qingzi’s smile froze instantly.
