All afternoon, everyone moved props to the East Auditorium.

Wen Xiaochu frowned. "Why are we making it so easy for them? Even if it goes to the principal, we should fight it."

Xia Yangyang replied, "If arguing gets us nowhere, why bother? The principal is vying for the Minister of Culture and Entertainment position and needs the political support of Kim Fei'er's father. He'll side with her."

Wen Xiaochu exclaimed angrily, "I'm not angry about Kim Fei'er, but about Gu Zhaohan. Lately, he's been possessed! He's completely different. He was never a great communicator, but he always knew right from wrong. Now he's blindly helping Kim Fei'er?"

Xia Yangyang said, "They're a team. Helping Kim Fei'er isn't unjustified. Let's finish cleaning the auditorium."

By dusk, they finished cleaning, exhausted. Xia Yangyang planned to have dinner with everyone, but Gu Qichen called. He said the family was hosting guests at the old house and asked them to come.

Xia Yangyang rushed back to Maple Villa, showered, and changed.

In the car, she asked, "Who's the old man hosting?"

Gu Qichen replied, "When he was young, the old man served in the army. After retiring, he values his military bonds. Tonight's guest is a comrade from his younger days, living abroad. He couldn't make the old man's birthday, so he's visiting."

Xia Yangyang nodded.

Gu Qichen continued, "The main reason: he brought his granddaughter. It's a veiled blind date."

Xia Yangyang, drinking juice, nearly choked on hearing "blind date."

Cautiously, she asked, "A blind date? For whom?"

Gu Qichen found her alarm amusing. "For Xiao Han, of course. Who else?"

Xia Yangyang was stunned. The old man had previously arranged blind dates for Gu Qichen, so that was her first thought.

She said, "Gu Zhaohan's my age, right? Arranging a blind date at 20 is a bit early, don't you think?"

Gu Qichen replied, "He's only a year older. It's not strictly a blind date. The old man wants to introduce them, maybe they'll become friends. He has a younger aunt, he's about to graduate, and he's never had a girlfriend."

Xia Yangyang snorted. "He certainly doesn't see me as his aunt. He always opposes me." She remembered the auditorium incident and felt furious.

Gu Qichen sensed something was wrong. "Did you two clash?"

Xia Yangyang sighed. "Forget it. I can't afford to offend your grandnephew."

Gu Qichen tried to press her, but she refused to elaborate. She didn't gossip. Besides, she knew Gu Zhaohan targeted her because of her relationship with his uncle. Speaking badly of him behind his back would only worsen things.

They arrived at the Gu residence. The villa shone brightly. Inside, Gu Qichen asked the housekeeper, "Where's Xiao Han?"

The housekeeper replied, "Young Master Han just arrived and is in his room."
