When the guard saw Bai Zhang’s car, he immediately pressed the button to raise the barricade. Then, he saluted respectfully. There were three cars in total. The ones in front and at the back were ordinary black sedans.
Flags bearing the family crest flapped near the hoods of the cars.
Gu Yin looked at the top luxury car in the middle. She did not know who was inside, so she did not speak rashly. But when she recalled the status of the Bai family on Jijing Island, she squeezed her fingers slightly.
The car stopped in front of the guard. The driver seat window rolled down.
The chauffeur glanced at Gu Yin and asked the guard, “What’s the matter?”
The guard answered, “This lady said that she wants to meet the Old Master.”
The chauffeur furrowed his eyebrows and looked as if he thought that he had heard wrong. He asked incredulously, “She wants to meet the Old Master?”
Old Master had long since retired and now lived behind the scenes. He only made a trip to the Bai residence today for Ms. Gu. At other times, he seldom asked about external affairs.
Why would anyone ever come to the Bai residence looking for the Old Master?
“Yes.” The guard found it rather unbelievable as well and he said, “She said that her surname was Gu.”
The chauffeur’s expression changed slightly and he turned his head to look at Bai Zhang who was in the back seat. There was some movement in Bai Zhang’s solemn eyes. As he looked over, he rolled down the passenger’s side window.
Gu Yin stood to the side with her head slightly lowered, but her face could be seen clearly. She had no idea why the Bai residence had suddenly become her grandfather’s place. She also did not know what was up about the Lei family.
But the Lei family had said before that she looked very much like her mother. If her mother was a young lady of the Bai family, then they would surely recognize her.
Bai Zhang’s gaze fell on Gu Yin’s face and his pupils widened.
He looked at her for a few seconds and asked, “Are you… Gu Yin?”
Gu Yin did not expect him to know her name. She was startled for a moment but she nodded.
Old Master Bai went to the Academic Center in the morning.
Gu Mang and Gu Yin both participated in the competition. One of them was on Capital University’s team while the other was on the medical organization’s team.
If something like that happened to Gu Mang, her younger sister would surely be worried and be present. She must have met Old Master before.
Bai Zhang thought about it and the look in his eyes became warmer. “Get in, I’ll take you to your Grandpa.”
The chauffeur got out of the car immediately and opened the back door respectfully.
Gu Yin took half a step forward but hesitated. She asked cautiously, “You are…?”
“You should call me ‘Uncle.’” Bai Zhang was rather patient. “Why didn’t your sister come with you?”
There was some movement in Gu Yin’s eyes. “My sister is probably with her boyfriend.”
Bai Zhang nodded. “Get in the car first, I’ll take you to the house.”
Gu Yin bent down hesitantly and got into the car. Her movements were polite and she was quiet, and graceful.
Although she was not as outstanding as Gu Mang, she had been accepted into the medical organization at such a young age and she was also here to take part in the physiology competition. This was not something that just anyone could do.
…
The Bai residence.
The hall was very crowded when Bai Zhang brought Gu Yin inside. Several junior members of the Bai family were playing Go with Old Master Bai. Madam Bai was tea-tasting by his side.
“Bai Feichi! You should rename yourself ‘The Fool!’ You play Go as if you were playing Gomoku! How clever you are!” The girl who was speaking rolled her eyes helplessly.
Old Master Bai laughed and watched his grandchildren squabble.
“What’s more, you got defeated so badly even in Gomoku…” The girl seemed like she wanted to break open Bai Feichi’s skull and see if he had any brains inside.
“Bai Yan! I am your elder brother! How dare you insult me!” Bai Feichi glared at her.
Bai Yan answered, “Hah! You were merely born less than a minute earlier than me. How dare you claim to be my ‘elder brother?’ Please don’t tell people that you know me, I don’t want them to think that my IQ is as low as yours.”
Bai Feichi roared, “Even if I was born a minute earlier, I’m still your elder brother!”
“Y-You…” Bai Yan was just about to start another ‘war’ with Bai Feichi when she saw Bai Zhang from the corner of her eyes. She smiled happily. “Dad.”
Her gaze fell on Gu Yin and the smile on her face subsided. “Dad, is this… my cousin, Gu Mang?”
Didn’t they say that Sister Gu Mang was exceptionally pretty? Although she looks alright here, she’s still pretty far from being exceptionally pretty.
When Gu Yin saw that Bai Yan had mistaken her for Gu Mang, she pursed her lips.
When Old Master Bai saw Gu Yin’s expression, he understood.
As expected, Bai Zhang said, “This is your other cousin, Gu Yin.”
“Oh.” Bai Yan was a little disappointed but she still welcomed Gu Yin with a smile. “Hello, cousin.”
