They not only couldnt take revenge, but also had to worry about being retaliated against by Gu Qingluan.

Why was Gu Qingluan so fortunate?

She even managed to have a close bond with someone from the Island of No Return!

The most desperate one was Gu Jinyue.

She had been waiting for this day for so long, thinking that she could make Gu Qingluan kneel down and beg for mercy. But who knew that what she got was the news of Gu Qingluan becoming a Saint.

Gu Qingluan must be mocking her for her futile efforts, right?

Congratulations, Qingluan! Gu Zhicheng suddenly smiled.

Everyone looked at him.

Gu Qingluan rubbed her arm, feeling gooseb.u.mps rise all over her body. In front of me, the head of the Gu family doesnt need to be so hypocritical. That smile is chilling.

Gu Zhichengs smile froze instantly as if the river water had turned to ice and the mountain wind had come to a sudden stop.

He clenched his muscles a few times, forcibly suppressing the anger rising to his throat, and his smile faded slightly, but his att.i.tude remained enthusiastic. Luaner, you did a great job. Now our Gu family has two Saints. No family in Chengyuan can surpa.s.s us! Qingluan, why dont you move back to the Gu family? We have double happiness, and we must celebrate!

She was stunned by being called Luaner.

Whether to celebrate or not is up to you, but as for moving back to the Gu family forget it, Im already used to living in the Jun residence, Gu Qingluan said.

Gu Zhicheng frowned, then nodded. You can stay wherever youre comfortable, but remember to come back often.

Maybe some people wont welcome me, Gu Qingluan hinted, glancing at the other Gu family members.

Gu Zhicheng looked at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ and the others.

They cursed Gu Qingluan in their hearts but didnt dare to show any displeasure on the surface.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ put on a fake smile and said, Qingluan, what are you talking about? You are the eldest daughter of the Gu family. How could we not welcome you back?

Yeah, big sister, you must come back to see us often, Gu Qiner said with a sincere expression.

Gu Zhicheng and Gu Jinyue followed suit.

Only Gu Jinyue and Gu Sier, the two youngest ones, couldnt maintain their composure and couldnt bring themselves to please Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan smiled as she looked at the two.

Her eyes were playful like she was watching monkeys.

Gu Zhicheng immediately scolded, You two better welcome your elder sister!

Gu Jinyue felt extremely annoyed.

But what choice did she have when she was inferior to Gu Qingluan? In the eyes of their uncle, who valued the familys interests above all else, what did her feelings matter?

Reluctantly, Gu Jinyue said, Welcome back, big sister.

Gu Sier was the only one left. She couldnt resist any longer and said, Welcome.

This is great! A family should be harmonious, Gu Zhicheng laughed heartily as if he hadnt noticed the undercurrents in the hall. He turned his head and looked at Gu Qingluan with a pair of loving eyes. Qingluan, you havent come home for a long time. Why not stay here today and catch up with everyone in the family? If you dont want to move back, its alright, just come back and stay for a few days. Is that okay?

Im used to my own room, and I cant sleep well here. Its more comfortable for me to go back to my place. Gu Qingluan knew what Gu Zhicheng was thinking and had no intention of cooperating.

If this had happened not long ago, Gu Zhicheng would have been furious at being rejected.

But now, apart from sighing in regret, he didnt blame Gu Qingluan.

Alright then, if youre not staying, how about having a simple meal? Gu Zhicheng suggested.

Gu Qingluan looked at the other Gu family members.

One by one, their faces displayed a range of emotions, becoming more vividly expressive.

She nodded playfully in response to Gu Zhichengs invitation.

Sure enough, as soon as she agreed, the other peoples expressions became even more unpleasant..
