Gu Zhaoming and his family were dining peacefully when they suddenly paused, their chopsticks hovering mid-air as they glanced towards the main table.
"I wonder how my cousins fared," pondered Gu Shuxue with genuine curiosity. However, realizing the potential discomfort her inquiry might cause, she hastily added, "I'm just concerned about my cousins. If it's inconvenient for you to discuss, please disregard my question."
The attention of the entire banquet shifted to Gu Zhaoming's table.
The adults observed the scene with a hint of amusement in their eyes, choosing to remain silent and let the situation unfold.
Conversely, the children's table exhibited less restraint.
"After the return of the Gu family's first branch, the second branch seems to be directly challenging them."
