Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 178 Daily Life at the Gu Family Villa

"Your Gu family really does love to talk nonsense!" Wu Zhao stood up, pushed Gu Chen aside, and glared at the stunned Huo Tingchen.

"I need to go and rest now. Call me again when it's time for dinner."

After she went upstairs, Huo Tingchen stammered and asked Gu Chen, "Uncle...you...you really...like—?!"

Gu Chen glanced at him coldly, "What, is that not allowed?"

How can that be?!

Wu Zhao was strange from the beginning, and was completely different from the Shen Zhao Zhao that he later investigated.

He didn't want to make malicious assumptions about his savior, but Wu Zhao was definitely not the original Shen Zhao Zhao anymore, was he?

Huo Tingchen didn't believe that his uncle hadn't noticed this.

Furthermore, Wu Zhao has a special affection for the Wu family, and he looks at Wu Xingyun's generation as if he were looking at a junior...

He once speculated that perhaps Wu Zhao was a powerful figure from the Wu family who had been resurrected and possessed another's body.

The elders of the Wu family are masters of metaphysics. Don't be fooled by their young age; who knows if they're ancient monsters who have lived for countless years?

His uncle is still a tender young cabbage!

Thinking this, his gaze toward Gu Chen became even more strange.

“If you’re so free, why don’t you go back and take care of your work?” Gu Chen saw through his thoughts and said coldly, “Don’t tell the Huo family about my affairs.”

Upon realizing that he wasn't joking, Huo Tingchen gasped.

His cold and ruthless uncle has an unusually unique type of person he falls in love with.

“I won’t say anything, and those trending topics have already been suppressed. But Uncle, the Huo family couldn’t possibly not know about the huge uproar on Weibo, could they?” Huo Tingchen thought of his crying younger brother and sighed, “And that kid Jinchen, his affair with Linlang was only recently suppressed as well.”

Gu Chen said, "It's alright. Jin Chen's affairs are being handled by his rivals. Zhao Zhao and I... are just talking about it among some kids. Even if the Huo family finds out, they won't take it seriously."

"How are things going with the Gu family lately?"

Huo Tingchen's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Gu Jiaping's funeral has been held, but the Gu family doesn't seem to want to let this matter go so easily."

“Especially that Madam Gu, she seems to be convinced that Gu Jiaping’s death is related to you and Wu Zhao.”

Many of the negative comments about Wu Zhao on Xingbo were also orchestrated by Madam Gu, but she did it very discreetly, and it will take some time to investigate.

Madam Gu… Gu Chen’s forehead twitched.

"Keep a close eye on the Gu family, and those three from the Gu family. They won't be able to remain indifferent after Zhaozhao returns."

Gu Chen added, "Your sister will be back soon, remember to tell her too."

Huo Weiwei has been in a closed Olympiad camp ever since Huo Tingchen left China, and it has been quite some time now.

That's an island, and communication is restricted.

Huo Weiwei probably has no idea what's happening in China.

It seems like the days are numbered and things should be coming back soon.

Huo Tingchen smiled wryly: "When Weiwei comes back and finds out, she'll probably be quite surprised too."

"Remember to bring her back. I remember she and Ye Linlang don't get along. Remember to remind her that Ye Linlang is pregnant."

Gu Chen's lips twitched as he thought of Huo Weiwei's easily triggered temper.

"If anything happens to Ye Linlang, your brother will be devastated. You'll have to figure out how to handle it yourself then."

The thought of his troublesome younger brother and sister gave Huo Tingchen a headache.

He glanced subconsciously at Gu Chen and then at Wu Zhao's room on the second floor, and suddenly a good idea came to him.

……

Two days later.

"Uncle—"

Huo Weiwei's scream came from outside the Gu family's villa.

The person who rushed in was none other than Huo Weiwei, who had been sent to the island for intensive training for a long time.

As soon as she rushed in, she saw Wu Zhao eating fruit.

Her eyes lit up and she pounced on Wu Zhao, calling out, "Auntie—"

Wu Zhao almost swallowed the cherry pit.

"Why are you spouting nonsense as soon as you get back?" Wu Zhao was somewhat numb as he pulled Huo Weiwei away from him.

With a chuckle, Huo Weiwei smiled rather maliciously: "I didn't expect so many interesting things to happen while I was away!"

"If I had known, I wouldn't have gone to that training camp. It was exhausting."

Unable to push her away, Huo Weiwei took advantage of the situation and hugged Wu Zhao tightly, rubbing against her.

Wu Zhao had a very pleasant scent, which made Huo Weiwei unable to resist moving even closer.

"Weiwei, what kind of behavior is this?" Gu Chen's voice came from the side. "Why aren't you sitting down properly?"

Hearing her uncle's familiar voice again, Huo Weiwei instinctively shrank back.

Then, realizing he already had a powerful backer, he unceremoniously hid next to Wu Zhao and said with a grin, "Uncle, it's been a long time!"

“I’m on vacation now, and my older brother brought me here. He said there are important guests at home and I shouldn’t go back and cause trouble.”

She didn't ask who the important guest was, because Huo Tingchen had already told her all the gossip from the Star Blog the whole way.

Even her upright and honorable uncle could fall in love one day!

Overjoyed, Huo Weiwei had a feeling that she had known all along when she learned that her uncle had fallen for Wu Zhao.

Now that I think about it, my uncle had been acting strangely ever since he met Wu Zhao.

Could it be... love at first sight?

The more Huo Weiwei thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She stared intently at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen simply lowered his head to remove the cherry pits from Wu Zhao's hands, without responding to her gaze.

"By the way, Uncle... uh, Zhao Zhao? Can I call you that?" Huo Weiwei originally wanted to continue calling her Aunt, but when she saw Wu Zhao frown, she quickly changed her address.

Wu Zhao didn't object; she was fine with anything as long as it wasn't that name that made her feel uncomfortable.

Huo Weiwei smiled and said, "It's perfect timing that I'm finally back, and I haven't gone shopping in ages. How about we go out for a bit this afternoon?"

"That's good. With Weiwei here, let's go out for a walk and clear our minds."

Wu Zhao thought about it and agreed.

Feng Boxue is probably hiding in the military compound repairing his charred body; it would be very difficult to see him now.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, that's perfect, I haven't really explored the capital city properly yet."

"Great! I'll tidy up a bit, and then we'll head out!"

Huo Weiwei pulled her luggage and skipped and hopped towards her room.

After she entered the room, Wu Zhao looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Why did you call Huo Weiwei over here? What are you planning?"

“Hmm…” Gu Chen raised his eyes, “Because of Zhao Zhao, it seems a little difficult to pursue her.”

Wu Zhao: Listen to what you're saying?

A hint of a smile appeared in Gu Chen's eyes, and the curve of his lips became more pronounced.

"Zhaozhao, didn't you notice?"

"I'm pursuing you."
