CHAPTER 193: CHAPTER 193 UNCLE FROM SOUTH AFRICA

You Ran said: "Just call me by my name, no need to call me teacher."

An Junxi glanced at Yue Xiaoyang, saw him nod, and then called out: "You Ran."

You Ran pointed out a few issues to her, and An Junxi kept nodding, thinking how different a master really is.

Gu Yikun came over after his meeting, and upon pushing the door open, he saw his wife sitting beside that man with an admiring look on her face.

He coughed uncomfortably a few times, An Junxi looked up, stood up and said: "Yi Ke, this is Teacher You Ran."

The two men shook hands symbolically, You Ran had an eccentric temperament, completely focused on photography, and was extremely poor at social interactions. Even though Gu Yikun’s eyes were frosty, You Ran didn’t notice at all.

Yue Xiaoyang almost burst out laughing with pent-up emotions.

Gu Yikun sat down to look at some documents, An Junxi instinctively kept a proper distance from You Ran. It hadn’t even been an hour of the lesson, yet she had already learned a lot.

Time was up, You Ran started to pack his things, he said: "There will be a photography exhibit next month on Icefield Island, many of my colleagues will be attending, would you like to come?"

An Junxi was very tempted, she looked at Gu Yikun, who placed his documents on the table and said: "My wife is very busy outside of her lessons."

You Ran then realized, "So you are Mrs. Gu."

Yue Xiaoyang saw that Gu Yikun spilled their marital status to assert his dominance and said: "They plan to make it public by the end of the year, you just need to keep it in mind."

You Ran understood that the circles of wealthy people are often complex.

An Junxi said: "I need to check the timing; if my husband is free, he will accompany me."

You Ran left two tickets, "Then see you next time."

Yue Xiaoyang left with You Ran, An Junxi got up to see them off. When she returned to the office, Gu Yikun’s face was still sour.

She walked to his side, "Yi Ke, can you go with me? I want to see the photography exhibit."

"Sure."

Gu Yikun’s straightforwardness took An Junxi by surprise, "Really?"

Gu Yikun reached out and pulled her close, "If I can’t promise my wife to see a photography exhibit, how can I be a proper husband? I will go with you."

An Junxi happily hugged his neck, "Then I’ll call Auntie and ask her to prepare clothes for me!"

She hadn’t seen her aunt in a long time and wanted to chat with her.

Gu Yikun kissed her on her lips, "Go ahead."

An Junxi ran into the lounge to call Gu Kuangyuan and schedule a time to meet.

Gu Kuangyuan didn’t want to go to the villa, thinking it was too far, she said: "Let’s meet at the square next to the Gu Family building."

"Thank you, Auntie." An Junxi sweetly flattered her.

Gu Kuangyuan laughed and said: "There’s no need for thanks among family."

An Junxi felt a little down, "Auntie, thank you for treating me as family."

Gu Kuangyuan understood what An Junxi was thinking and said: "My sister-in-law is the way she is. I thought she could change, but it turns out it’s impossible. If you don’t like her, you don’t need to please her. Just take care of yourself; Yi Ke will stand by you."

An Junxi chatted on the phone with Gu Kuangyuan for a long time, never realizing they could connect so well.

Meanwhile, Zha Zhuoxin in South Africa called Gu Yikun urgently, "President, Second Master Gu’s embezzlement of public funds has been exposed. During the police pursuit, Second Master Gu jumped into the sea!"

Gu Yikun asked: "Is he dead?"

"No, the police started a search, but no results yet."

"Send people to search, alive or dead, I want to see the body!"

"I’ll arrange it immediately."

"And how about the media?"

Zha Zhuoxin reported: "We’ve managed to suppress the news. Fortunately, the subsidiary changed its legal representative beforehand, so it won’t affect our other businesses."

"Good, have people search 24/7, notify me immediately if there are any results."

"Understood."

Gu Yikun hung up the phone, pondered for a while, and then notified the secret organization in South Africa. If he was found, he should be dealt with by Gu Yikun.

If his second uncle died, the situation would be easier to handle. The worst thing would be if he didn’t die.

This uncle once tried to kill him, Gu Yikun wouldn’t relax his vigilance.

An Junxi chatted with Gu Kuangyuan for a long time and then contacted her parents on the cruise.

They had been on an island in South Asia for a few days and would be heading to the next destination soon.

The signal was poor, An Junxi could only hear the howling sea wind and her mother’s intermittent words.

After saying a few words, she hung up, telling them to have fun, and she would pick them up at the dock with Yi Ke when they returned.

After the call, An Junxi reviewed You Ran’s photography collection. It was almost time for Gu Yikun to get off work, they left the company early and went to the hospital.

Seventh Uncle was in good spirits today, they chatted for a while, and An Junxi said: "Jin Xiu will be back next week, Seventh Uncle must take good care of your health, so we can go out to eat together."

Seventh Uncle no longer wanted to stay in the hospital, hearing this made him look forward to it, he said: "I’ve taken a lot of medicine, still the same old situation."

An Junxi looked worried, Seventh Uncle comforted with a laugh: "When Jin Xiu comes back, I will naturally feel much better." That child was well-raised and deeply liked by him, he wouldn’t fall short compared to Yi Ke in the future.

An Junxi said: "Then it’s settled, when Jin Xiu comes back, we will go out to eat together. I’ve checked with the doctor, and the doctor said it’s okay."

Seventh Uncle found all food tasteless now, he just wanted to sit and chat with the whole family.

After all, such opportunities were getting fewer for him.

They said goodbye to Seventh Uncle and returned to the villa, Gu Yikun went to the study, and An Junxi cooked dinner for him.

If she had time, she would cook herself. Gu Yikun used to be very picky, but now as long as she cooked, he would eat whatever she made.

She made a few simple dishes, as dinner was almost ready, Gu Kuangyong arrived.

An Junxi couldn’t remember Gu Kuangyong visiting before. She saw the car drive into the yard, walked outside, and saw Gu Kuangyong get out of the car furiously.

She wondered if something had happened at the old house?

She asked: "Father has arrived, have you had dinner?"

Gu Kuangyong didn’t respond, he asked: "Where is Yi Ke?"

An Junxi said: "In the study."

Gu Kuangyong walked straight up, his steps were quick, indicating urgency.

An Junxi didn’t dare to follow and instead asked the driver: "What’s wrong with Father?"

The driver said he didn’t know, "The old master suddenly called for a car to find the young master."

"Has anything special happened at home recently?"

The driver shook his head: "Nothing we’ve heard of, and today Mrs. Huo mentioned buying more vegetables, so there should be nothing wrong."

"Got it."

An Junxi quietly walked upstairs and heard the sounds of argument between father and son from the stairs.

"He’s your uncle! Gu Yikun, I’ve never interfered with how you treat outsiders, but you can’t treat your uncle that way!"

"I didn’t plan to hold grudges against Second Uncle, but he insisted on walking down a dead-end path, what could I do?"

"Bang!"

Gu Kuangyong threw something, and the study instantly fell silent.

An Junxi gripped the railing tightly, her heart racing. What had Second Uncle done again in South Africa?
