Gu Wen beca a driver again.
The family of three went to the Ancestral House.
Shang Xi had never been to the Gu family's Ancestral House before. It took an hour's drive to reach the place.
Inside the Gu family's Ancestral House, there were relatively few buildings, with lawns, woods, a Giant Wolf Statue, and a Giant Wolf Fountain.
Indeed, it didn't look like an ordinary human residence.
Wolf hunting scenes and wolves howling at the moon were carved on the walls.
Shang Xi glanced around, suppressing her astonishnt.
At the Gu family gathering, apart from large fish and at dishes,
The family also had human chefs specially prepare a grand spread of human cuisine.
To make Shang Xi feel comfortable, they didn't invite any other clan mbers, and the werewolves present were the sa ones Shang Xi had seen yesterday.
Baby Shang carried a bag of gifts, calling out to each wolf:
"Hello Grandpa, this gift is for you."
"Hello Grandma, this is for you..."
"Hello Uncle, these flowers are for you."
Gu Chen was surprised by the favor, staring dumbfounded at the flower specin in the beautiful young man's hands. "The cub gave this to ?"
"Oh my, cub, is this a rose?" Gu Yao curved her red lips, hugging the little cub into her embrace and planting a kiss on the plump baby cheek. "Darling, I wanted to kiss you yesterday."
Baby Shang's taut little face turned slightly flushed as he called out, "Hello Auntie."
Gu Yao smiled with crescent eyes, "Co here, darling, Auntie has a gift for you too. You're a hundred tis cuter than your wolf father."
Gu Yao carried the cub into the living room, where a box sat on the table. "When Auntie has nothing to do, she likes to go to auctions and collect stones, what humans call eralds, sapphires, crystals. I also like the shiny golden ones."
Her nails were painted red, her fingers long and white. With a light flick, she opened the box, emitting a dazzling glow.
Inside were two rows of gemstones, three rows of gold bars, and one row of small gold balls.
Baby Shang covered his eyes. "So bright!"
Gu Yao couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, little darling, do you like them? They're all for you."
Baby Shang picked up a heavy gold bar, a sweet smile spreading across his face. He took the initiative to hug Gu Yao's neck. "Thank you, Auntie, I love it!"
No, hehe, Mom will definitely love it.
He clearly rembered when his mom had bought a small gold bar from the bank before. At the ti, his mom had said she loved the crisp sound of gold the most and would collect more and more.
Now, with Auntie gifting so many, Mom would be delighted.
Baby Shang squinted his eyes, smiling adorably. "Auntie is so nice, Auntie is so pretty!"
"Oh my, such a little sweetie." Gu Yao curved her red lips, glancing at Gu Wen with a mocking tone. "Look, so people aren't even as good as the cub."
Seeing his eldest sister holding the cub so intimately, Gu Chen burst out, "Cub, I have a gift prepared too!! Co to Uncle?"
They were having a lively ti over there.
anwhile, Shang Xi was being led by Gu's mother into her room.
"I just ca back from the Snow Mountain yesterday and didn't prepare anything for you."
Shang Xi hurriedly said, "No need, Auntie, I didn't prepare anything either..."
Gu's mother smiled lightly. "But I know the customs of you pure humans. Since you've co to visit at the Ancestral House, I should have prepared sothing."
On Gu's mother's dressing table sat a black box.
She picked it up with both hands and handed it to Shang Xi.
"These are so human world jewelry pieces I've collected. They're quite pretty. I hope you'll like them."
"Auntie, you... you've misunderstood our human customs." Shang Xi hurriedly explained. "I'm not Gu Wen's partner, you don't need to give ..."
"It doesn't matter whether you are or not." Gu's mother smiled. "You're the cub's mother, aren't you? We're already family."
Shang Xi's heart shook violently.
Her eyes widened, but she still shook her head, stepping back. "Thank you, I appreciate the gesture. Please..." Her words suddenly stuck in her throat.
She saw Gu's mother lower her gaze, raise her hand to wipe her eyes, and ask in a dejected, hurt tone, "Do you dislike us? Have we presud too much by considering you family and caused you trouble?"
Shang Xi was taken aback. "I don't dislike you, Auntie..."
Gu's mother wiped her eyes again. "You don't dislike us, yet you won't accept my gift. I'm so hurt."
Ah...
Shang Xi rarely felt at a loss, scratching her head.
There's one more part, we'll see tomorrow.
