Chapter 434: Chapter 434: The Little Ancestor, Is She Taking Over Someone Else’s Nest?
Zuzi rummaged through the suitcase and found two simple pieces of fabric.
This suitcase was the one she brought when she moved from the countryside to the city. There wasn’t much inside, and these two pieces of fabric, along with the white robe she was wearing, were exactly the same in texture—light as snow, smooth as silk, soft and almost weightless.
It was probably leftover fabric from a neighbor in the countryside making clothes for her, given to her to line the bottom of the suitcase.
"Heavenly Silkworm Silk can be preserved for a really long, long time, just perfect for Xiao Cheng!"
Zuzi was very pleased and took out the two pieces of fabric, measuring them against each other.
However, these two pieces of fabric were really too small to make a shirt or long pants for Bao Gucheng.
Zuzi thought hard for a while and finally came up with an idea: "Why not make Xiao Cheng a..."
She smiled, pulling out some silkworm silk thread from the edge of the fabric, and using the fine needle from the hotel sewing kit, she began to stitch.
Xi Rubao watched her busily with curiosity: "Sis, what are you making? It’s big and wide, are you going to wear it yourself?"
Zuzi: "No, it’s a gift. You’ll know what it is once it’s done."
Xi Rubao eagerly studied the map: "Sis, Mr. Bo said he’s taking us to see the schools today, to get familiar with the environment and see which one we like, then decide on our choices. Which one should we check out first? Imperial University or Imperial Royal College? Imperial Technology University seems good too, and there’s also Imperial Ocean University..."
Zuzi put away the half-finished "gift" and dusted off her hands: "Let’s see them all."
Xi Rubao cheered: "Sis, that’s what I was thinking, great!"
Zuzi smiled slightly as she watched her.
Xi Rubao: "Sis, second brother called earlier wanting to meet us. He said if we have time to meet today, he’ll postpone the audition work..."
Xi Langyue has been on tour all over and finally got the chance to meet his two sisters, especially Zuzi, whom he hasn’t seen yet. For him, work is nothing compared to seeing his sisters.
"No need. Let him work."
"Oh, so we won’t see him?"
"No, we’ll still see him."
"Sis, I don’t get it..." Xi Rubao was baffled.
But Zuzi was already up, smiling brightly: "Let’s go, little grass fish."

Gu Family.
Gu Pinting, who cried all night, came downstairs with swollen eyes.
This made Sun Jiao very distressed: "My dear daughter, you still have to audition with Director Ma today. What are you going to do with such swollen eyes?"
Gu Shiyin, who was having breakfast, also didn’t sleep well; the blow she suffered was no less than Gu Pinting’s, but she appeared much calmer and steadier than Gu Pinting.
She handed over a bowl of yam and dried tangerine peel porridge: "Pinting, have something to eat to reduce the swelling."
Gu Pinting lethargically said: "Director Ma already said yesterday, he only wants me to play the clay figure pinched by Nuwa... There are thousands of clay figures, isn’t that just being an extra? I don’t want to play a clay figure..."
Sun Jiao sighed deeply: "Oh, my poor daughter, clearly the cherished little princess of the Gu Family, how could things suddenly go wrong, with a sparrow taking over the magpie’s nest..."
Gu Jingyan coughed helplessly: "That’s called a cuckoo taking over a magpie’s nest. Don’t you have any idea whether you’re the cuckoo or the magpie?"
Sun Jiao: "Yes, it’s the sparrow taking the nest! It caused Director Ma to reject our Pinting..."
Elder Gu, sitting at the head of the table, couldn’t listen anymore and scolded with a frown: "What are you insinuating? Pinting’s audition is Pinting’s business, it’s got nothing to do with anyone else. If she makes it, it’s her own abilities. If not, she has to reflect on her own strength. What’s the point of making a fuss here?"
