Gu Xiande cupped his hands in greeting and said to the people in the room, “Alright, alright, alright. I’m already so old but I still troubled everyone to come here. I’m truly apologetic.”

Everyone congratulated him in unison. All of them said, “Old Gu, happy birthday.”

“Old Gu, many happy returns of the day.”

“Alright, alright. Have a seat, everyone.”

Of course, Gu Xiande came directly to the main table. He looked around at everyone and smiled. He said, “Thank you for your trouble over the past few days.”

“Grandfather, happy birthday,” Gu Jingze and a few other younger ones first said.

Gu Xiande looked very happy as he sat down. Although he always said that he liked the quiet, he ultimately still felt a sense of satisfaction when he saw everyone gathered together.

Just then, several relatives who had no place at the main table came to give a toast to Gu Xiande.

They were not like Gu Jingze who could see Gu Xiande whenever he wanted to. Lin Che too felt that it was not difficult for her to meet Gu Xiande either since she was with Gu Jingze. She always met him whenever she came to the Gu residence.

However, to others, he was a person whom they could not meet even if they wanted to. Some of them really only had this chance once a year to meet him. They approached Gu Xiande and greeted him properly, hoping to leave an impression on him so that these smaller branches of the Gu family could receive more benefits. Thus, they put in a lot of effort into it and were extremely cautious as they were afraid that Gu Xiande would be unhappy.

Furthermore, the gifts they presented were extremely precious and grand.

Gu Xiande smiled and nodded while looking at the presents. He did not care about what they actually gave him; it was fine as long as they had good intentions.

Just then, Gu Jingze stood up as well and said, “Grandfather, happy birthday. This is my present for you.”

He instructed a maid to bring him the gift box. Without opening it to take a long, he handed it directly to Gu Xiande.

Gu Xiande opened it to take a look before smiling and saying, “Not bad, not bad. It must have been difficult to find this.”

Gu Jingze said, “It’s just an expression of appreciation for you.”

The people sitting elsewhere watched as Gu Jingze gave the present and could not help but speculate about what the present was.

“A present from Gu Jingze definitely wouldn’t be cheap,” someone sitting at another table said.

Hearing this, the person beside him smiled and said, “Whatever. It doesn’t matter at all what present Gu Jingze gives. Just look at where he’s sitting.”

“What do you mean?”

“He’s sitting at the main table, alright? The people sitting there are all Old Gu’s immediate family members. He’s Old Gu’s biological grandson. He can give him anything.”

Everyone heard this and went silent. They looked at the people sitting there. Indeed, they were Gu Xiande’s immediate family members. The man was right; as long as the present was from a family member, it did not matter what it was.

Sitting at the head of the table, Gu Jingming also gave Gu Xiande a present soon after.

Gu Xiande smiled and said, “I don’t care for any presents. Do you know what present is the best for me now? If all of you could give me a great-grandson as soon as possible. I’ve been waiting so long for that day to come. The two of you brothers and you too, Jingyan. All of you should work harder for me.”

They went silent.

Just then, Gu Lanshan suddenly stood up.

She smiled and walked to Gu Xiande. Then, she lowered her head and said something into his ear.

While watching her, Lin Che suddenly felt her body tighten. She sensed that something was wrong.

Mu Wanqing felt the same way too. She felt uncomfortable when she looked at them.

Gu Xiande listened to Gu Lanshan and then looked up to say, “Really?”

Gu Lanshan merely smiled and nodded.

Gu Xiande pondered for a bit before looking up and saying, “Alright. Tell her to come in.”

Gu Lanshan smiled at this. She lifted her hand and gestured to someone.
