Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

When Wu Zhao left the Wu family, he did not alert anyone.

She simply asked Wu Xingyun to see her off.

She believed that Wu Xingyun's hesitant expression in the car had been noticed by her.

"What, is there something you want to say?"

Wu Xingyun stared longingly at the rearview mirror.

"What should we do about the people at the ancestral hall?"

The thought of Xuanjing Wuxingyun kneeling in the ancestral hall sent chills down my spine.

Adding to the troubles with Wu Ling and his son, he was absolutely overwhelmed.

He even considered simply going back to the Gu family with Wu Zhao today and then pretending to stay there temporarily.

Wu Zhao clearly knew what was troubling him.

"Don't worry, I've modified the formation at the ancestral hall. Xuanjing can't get out."

"Besides...didn't your uncle already kick Wuling out? What's there to be upset about?"

Wu Xingyun gave a wry smile.

"Grandma, the Wu family is in a complete mess right now... Aunt hasn't come back yet, I'm really confused."

Wu Zhao chuckled softly.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine soon."

She turned the ring on her hand. "I've left people in the Wu family, so you don't need to worry about your family being in danger."

"As for the rest... it won't be long."

Wu Xingyun sensed a murderous intent in her voice, swallowed hard, and remained silent.

As soon as the car entered the Gu family's villa, Lan Yao heard the noise and ran out.

"Miss is back."

Lan Yao smiled when he saw Wu Zhao get out of the car.

He seemed relieved.

Wu Zhao looked at her with amusement and asked, "What's wrong? I haven't been gone for long, have I? Why do you look like this?"

"It's all because you're not here, the patriarch..." Lan Yao whispered to her.

What happened to Gu Chen?

As soon as I entered the living room, I saw Gu Chen coming down from upstairs.

A rare smile appeared on the man's handsome face.

"Zhaozhao, you're back."

Upon seeing that face, Wu Zhao was momentarily dazed.

It feels like it's been a really long time since we last met...

"Hmm, nothing happened while I was away, right?"

On the table were her familiar desserts, their rich, sweet aroma wafting towards her.

Wu Zhao walked over to the sofa and sat down.

"Nothing's wrong, but what happened when the people around you brought Gu Jiaxi over earlier...?"

Gu Chen sat down next to her and casually placed the plate of cookies in front of her.

"Actually, nothing much happened, just a little accident."

Wu Zhao replied, then added, "I did manage to catch an old acquaintance at the Wu family's place, which I didn't expect."

Gu Chen's eyes flickered.

He didn't say anything, but just watched Wu Zhao finish eating a small plate of cookies.

He put down the plate in his hand and casually handed a tissue to Wu Zhao.

"Has the matter with the Wu family been resolved?"

Wu Zhao paused in wiping his hands, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

She shook her head: "Half and half."

Although they captured the traitor of the Wu family and resolved the trouble that Xuanjing had brought to the Wu family.

But thinking of Wu Shixu's attitude and hesitation, Wu Zhao frowned.

A warm finger touched her brow.

"Zhaozhao, now that you're back, relax a bit."

Gu Chen's voice rang in her ears.

"You're back, which means the rest... aren't problems anymore, right?"

Hearing him say that, for some reason, the string that had been taut in my heart seemed to be touched.

Wu Zhao's brows relaxed slightly.

"Fine, you're right."

Wu Xingyun, who had quietly followed in, saw that Gu Chen had lifted Wu Zhao's spirits in just a few words.

He couldn't help but sigh.

I always have this feeling that I can't keep my daughter at home...

"Why didn't you leave?"

Only then did Wu Zhao realize that Wu Xingyun had actually followed them in. Wu Zhao gave him a disdainful look.

"Grandma, I've been poking around here for ages."

Wu Xingyun was both amused and exasperated. He jogged over to Wu Zhao's side.

"Please let me stay here for a few days! I'll go back home once things are more stable!"

"Please, I promise I'll listen!"

He raised his finger in assurance.

Turning the ring on his hand, Wu Zhao suddenly said, "In that case, go to Huo Weiwei's place."

Wu Xingyun was taken aback: "Huh?"

What's a grown man like him doing following a little girl?

“Weiwei went back to school these past few days. She said there’s a study abroad program that she’s really interested in.”

Gu Chen was also surprised that she would suddenly show concern for Huo Weiwei.

Wu Zhao's expression was complicated, and she sighed.

"I also wanted to get some rest, but who knew Huo Weiwei would be out of the house so suddenly?"

The trace of blood energy on Wu Xingyun's body is related to Huo Weiwei. She can't just watch Huo Weiwei get into trouble, can she?

Wu Xingyun scratched his head, completely bewildered.

"Well, alright... since my great-aunt insists that I go with Huo Weiwei, I don't mind."

Wu Zhao glanced at the sucker Wu Xingyun with a smile.

This silly child probably doesn't realize he's being used as a talisman to ward off bad luck.

Letting him follow Huo Weiwei might help him avoid some danger.

Although I don't know how these two people suddenly became blood-related, it would be easier to handle if something happened to them in the same place, right?

As Wu Zhao pondered this, the speed at which he was spinning the ring paused for a moment.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Watching Wu Xingyun leave, Wu Zhao murmured something under his breath.

Gu Chen, standing to the side, gazed at her, a faint golden light flashing in his dark eyes.

Zhao Zhao, I'm afraid there's no time left now.
