482: Chapter 482 Grandpa Lu’s Birthday Banquet 482: Chapter 482 Grandpa Lu’s Birthday Banquet Suddenly informed that she was to attend a banquet tomorrow, Gu Zhiqi’s eyes tinted with a hint of confusion.

What birthday banquet?

And who is Grandpa Lu?

Yu Shuling was so preoccupied with looking at the gowns that she didn’t notice the perplexity in Gu Zhiqi’s eyes, “Come on, Qiqi, hurry upstairs and try it on.”

Having said that, she picked up the opened Gift Box and shoved it into Gu Zhiqi’s arms.

Gu Zhiqi placed the Gift Box on her lap without moving it and, instead, looked at Yu Shuling to voice her confusion, “Who is Grandpa Lu?”

Yu Shuling, hearing Gu Zhiqi’s question, was taken aback at first but then began to explain, “Look at me, I forgot that you lost your memory.

Grandpa Lu is…”

Just as she was about to explain to Gu Zhiqi, she heard footsteps coming from the staircase.

It was Aunt Li and Gu Xiyue coming downstairs.

Seeing Gu Xiyue’s figure, Yu Shuling quickly motioned to Gu Xiyue with a gentle wave of her hand, “Just in time, Yueyue is also here; come over, and I will tell you both together.”

Upon seeing Yu Shuling, Gu Xiyue greeted her, “Mom.”

Yu Shuling responded softly, got up, pulled Gu Xiyue to a seat next to Gu Zhiqi, and then addressed them both, “Tomorrow we have to attend a birthday banquet.

It’s for Grandpa Lu, father of Lu Xiangming, the city lord of Haicheng, and a good friend of your grandfather.

Tomorrow, we all need to go there to offer birthday wishes, and you two will come too.

It’ll be a good opportunity for Mom to introduce you to some people.”

Listening to Yu Shuling, Gu Xiyue’s brows furrowed imperceptibly and although reluctant, seeing the anticipation in Yu Shuling’s eyes, she lightly agreed, “Okay.”

Gu Zhiqi, having listened, wasn’t too keen on going either and asked directly, “Must I go?”

Frankly, she didn’t like attending banquets much.

“You and Xingzhe are on good terms, aren’t you?

Going to his grandfather’s birthday banquet, you…” Yu Shuling suddenly stopped mid-sentence, then turned to ask Gu Zhiqi, “Have you met Xingzhe at school yet?”

Hearing Yu Shuling mention Lu Xingzhe, Gu Zhiqi’s expression shifted slightly.

Lu Xingzhe’s grandfather?

When she was divining for Lu Xingzhe, it seemed she had predicted that he would be seriously injured the next day.

And she seemed to have accepted Lu Xingzhe’s money in exchange for helping him through a calamity.

“I’ve met him,” Gu Zhiqi first responded to Yu Shuling’s question, then asked, “Is the Birthday Party being held at Yaoying Hotel?”

Yu Shuling nodded, “Did Xingzhe already tell you about it?”

Gu Zhiqi hummed an ambivalent response before adding, “I’ll go.”

She had been considering asking if she could skip it, but now it seemed she had to go regardless.

After all, with money accepted, one must avert the looming disaster.

Hearing Gu Zhiqi agree to go, Yu Shuling happily opened the remaining package and handed the box inside to Gu Xiyue, “Yueyue, this is the gown Mom ordered for you; hurry up and take it to try on.”

“Thanks, Mom,” Gu Xiyue said, taking the box and standing up.

“This child, still being so formal with me,” Yu Shuling spoke with a smile.

Seeing that Gu Zhiqi still hadn’t moved, Yu Shuling urged her to also go upstairs and try on the gown.

Evening.

After washing up, Gu Zhiqi sat down in front of the computer to mend her mental method.

While mending her mental method, she suddenly remembered something—she hadn’t yet heard a completion prompt for the divine mission, so she casually asked Chubby Chiu, “Has the divine mission not been completed yet?”

Upon hearing this, Chubby Chiu also remembered and replied, “Not yet, it could be that the Ever Winning Army’s defense system hasn’t been installed.”

Listening to Chubby Chiu’s reply, Gu Zhiqi didn’t ask any further.
