“Yaoyao, you look beautiful today.”
Gu Xuesong’s voice carried genuine praise. After all, anyone chosen by his wife wouldn’t be lacking in any way—this young girl really was outstanding.
“Of course, she’s my daughter. How could she be anything less?”
Chen Hui’s eyes sparkled with pride. Her heart was as sharp as a needle, and with just one glance, she could tell that the men in her family were all impressed, their gazes filled with admiration. This gave her an overwhelming sense of pride—like she had stumbled upon a hidden treasure.
“You boys, don’t just stand there like wooden poles. Quickly introduce yourselves to your little sister,” Chen Hui said, her tone teasing but firm.
The Gu brothers exchanged glances before nodding in agreement. As they had previously discussed, they would introduce themselves according to their birth order.
“Yaoyao, I’m your eldest brother,” Gu Heng said, stepping forward. He was dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, his hair slicked back, exuding the air of a polished businessman.
“I’m your second brother, Gu Mian,” said the man next to him, who was dressed casually in a simple shirt. Thick glasses rested on his nose, giving him the scholarly aura of an academic.
Yaoyao tilted her head slightly, remembering what her mother had told her. Her second brother was deeply immersed in the world of antiques. His eyes seemed to only have room for ancient relics, and if it weren’t for the risk of damaging them, he’d probably sleep hugging one.
“Yaoyao, I’m your third brother. If anyone dares bully you, just tell me, and I’ll drive my car over to collect them,” Gu Jinnian said with a grin.
Third Brother’s features were sharp and bold, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. He resembled their uncle—Chen Hui’s brother—and carried a natural air of righteousness.
The fourth brother, Gu Qiao, worked in research. He hadn’t even changed out of his lab uniform, the logo of his research institute prominently displayed on his chest.
With his long, slender fingers, he waved and said, “I’m Fourth Brother. This is our first meeting, so I didn’t have time to prepare much. Here, take this monocle—it’s the latest product of my research institute.”
“A gift!”
Yaoyao’s eyes lit up as she accepted the monocle from Fourth Brother.
It was an elegant single-lens device, and with some assistance, she put it on.
Gu Qiao explained, “Yaoyao, you can rotate the lens to adjust its magnification. Its functionality rivals that of the most advanced telescopes and magnifiers. Additionally, you can switch modes on the frame. The monocle can scan and analyze the composition of objects and create 3D models, which will help with your studies.”
“That’s so cool! Fourth Brother, you’re amazing!” Yaoyao exclaimed, her large eyes sparkling with excitement. She tried out the different modes and was instantly captivated. It was the first time she had seen something so high-tech, and she immediately fell in love with it.
“Damn it, Fourth Brother! That’s cheating—you didn’t tell us you brought a gift!” Gu Li, the fifth brother, couldn’t help but stomp his foot in frustration.
He had assumed that, as a lawyer, his eloquence would make him the most likable brother. After all, he was confident in his ability to charm anyone with his words.
But now, Fourth Brother had pulled out a cutting-edge research product—how was he supposed to compete with that?
“People bringing gifts for their little sister is perfectly normal. How is that unfair?” Gu Qiao adjusted his glasses with a calm expression, his tone indifferent.
