My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 76 She's my daughter, how could she not help me?
When the wholesaler asked, Gu Xingzhao smiled and recited the answer he had prepared beforehand.

"I helped my friend buy the goods, so I'm thinking of making a little extra money for the trip. Maybe you can give me a bigger discount because we're acquaintances!"

Upon hearing this, the boss laughed heartily, "Since you've put it that way, it would be really unreasonable of me not to give you this discount."

Gu Xingzhao silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart; he was getting better and better at negotiating.

After leaving the wholesale factory, the boss was thinking of personally escorting Gu Xingzhao to the door, but when he saw a man in his fifties getting out of the car, he felt like he had seen a plague god and immediately turned around and left.

After several trips, the man finally caught up with the boss. Upon seeing this, he closed the car door and hurriedly chased after him, only to be met with Gu Xingzhao. The moment he saw Gu Xingzhao's face, he was somewhat taken aback.
When I turned around to look, Gu Xingzhao had already gotten into the car and left.

He suddenly grabbed a passing employee and asked, "Excuse me, who was that woman who just got on the bus?"

"That one? He's a long-time customer of our factory."

Do you know his name?

"Her surname seems to be Gu, so we all call her Boss Gu."

The man muttered to himself, "His surname is Gu. He's even a boss now."

He suddenly burst into laughter, stopped chasing after the wholesale factory owner, tucked his briefcase under his arm, and pulled out his phone to make a call.

"Honey, we've got a solution for that shipment. Don't worry about it anymore. I just met someone!"

"I had a daughter before, and after the divorce, my father, who died young, raised her. That brat is lucky; she quietly became a boss. I caught her coming to Boss Li's place to buy goods!"

"I'll go ask my former neighbor right now. She's my daughter, surely she'll help me?"

That evening, Gu Xingzhao returned home. As soon as he got out of the car, Aunt Wang pulled him aside, not even bothering with the dumplings he was cooking.

Aunt Wang's expression was strange. "Little Gu, what's wrong with your father?"

Gu Xingzhao: "Which father?"

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment. "It's that Gu Chengzhang. I don't know where he found my home phone number. Your Uncle Lin answered it and kept asking you about your recent situation, whether you were married, what kind of work you did, etc. Your Uncle Lin just brushed it off and said that you had moved out a long time ago."

"But I reckon that old man definitely won't believe it. You'd better not open this supermarket for a while and stay out of the public eye."

Upon hearing this name, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, Gu Xingzhao's heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed.

Why did this person suddenly come to ask me what I wanted? Could it be that I'm about to die and want someone to take care of me while I'm lying in the hospital?
Then I'll have to buy some champagne to celebrate.

Having been absent for over a decade, this sudden reappearance, inquiring about Gu Xingzhao's current situation, is obviously not a good thing, even to Aunt Wang's eyes.

She pulled Gu Xingzhao along, afraid the child would suffer, and said sternly, "Let me tell you, this bastard is definitely here to ask for money. If he comes to you, you can't be soft-hearted!"

Gu Xingzhao was amused and patted the irritable Aunt Wang reassuringly, "Auntie, you're overthinking it. How could he be short of money? I reckon he's probably nearing the end and wants to rekindle some affection in his old age." Aunt Wang almost laughed out loud but managed to hold it back. "Anyway, you know in your heart that you can't acknowledge this father. If anything happens, just call me and your Uncle Lin."

Everyone in town knows that this bastard abused his wife and children, cheated on her, and later didn't even care about his own father lying in the hospital. He didn't raise his own daughter either, but went to raise another woman's son. This made Xiao Gu's mother hate the Gu family. After remarrying, she also ignored her daughter.

That man is a complete beast.

Aunt Wang's concern warmed Gu Xingzhao's heart. "I understand, thank you, Auntie."

After explaining things to Gu Xingzhao, Aunt Wang felt relieved and went to attend to her own business.

Gu Xingzhao smiled and told them not to worry, but after opening the door and entering the house, her face darkened. She had seen that person at the wholesale factory during the day and thought she was mistaken, but the person had called Uncle Lin directly.

In an instant, she was reminded of her childhood, when she was either beaten or scolded. To escape her predicament, her mother filed for divorce, giving up the house, the children, and everything else, and ran far away, never to see her again, not even knowing whether she was alive or dead.

After his divorce, this biological father married a rich man and became his son-in-law, leaving himself to be raised by his grandfather. He didn't even visit his grandfather when he was seriously ill and hospitalized.

Gu Xingzhao will always remember that when he had no money to pay the medical bills, he went to beg him, only to be ridiculed and mocked in the living room. He saw him and that woman enjoying a happy family meal of fish and meat, yet he wouldn't even pay for his grandfather's medical bills. In the end, it was Lu who paid the medical bills.

Thinking about those awful things from her childhood makes her feel nauseous, and the thought of having the blood of such people flowing through her veins makes her want to vomit.

She immediately locked the supermarket door and ran up to the second floor. Only when she saw Lu Qing and the others' projections did she calm down.

Gu Xingzhao unpacked a box of self-heating rice, poured water into each box, and finally closed the lid. After it was cooked, he transported dozens of boxes of self-heating rice from the television set to ancient times.

Before she could even speak, the Lu family and others could smell the aroma of rice.

Lu Yang loves to eat, and his nose is incredibly sensitive. He almost jumped up, frantically gesturing to the old man: "Smell it! This aroma must be from our ancestors!"
Lu Qing was holding his granddaughter's e-reader and studying it with Liu Xiangbai, completely ignoring Lu Yang.

Lu Xingyao quickly caught the smell too. He instantly perked up, looked around, and then checked the bamboo basket next to him. It was empty. The next second, a bunch of things appeared out of thin air in the bamboo basket.

Here they come, their fascinating and powerful ancestor has arrived!
Lu Xingyao looked through the items, which were in packages, but he couldn't tell what they were. There was also a note next to it. He picked it up and saw that it read: "For Women Only".

He sighed instantly, "Oh well, it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Xingyao carried the bamboo basket to his mother and second aunt, as these two were in charge of the women's affairs in the family.

With the object placed before her, Mrs. Song asked her son, puzzled, "What is this?"

Lu Xingyao shrugged and said, "It's for women only. How would I know?"
Ms. Xu picked up a package and found a piece of paper inside. When she opened it, her face turned red and her heart pounded as if she had done something wrong. She quickly folded the paper back up!

Why did our ancestors send us this?
Seeing Xu's reaction, Song asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xu was too embarrassed to say anything, so she simply stuffed the paper in her hand into Song's hand and told her to read it herself. It was truly embarrassing.

Song was puzzled, but when she opened the paper, she was so embarrassed by what she saw that her face turned bright red!
