"Back in those days, everyone was a workaholic," Gu Junzhu said, "Men rarely took part in raising or educating the kids, who were mostly raised by their mothers."
Ye Xingbei said, "But weren't all five siblings in your family well educated?"
"That's because of my mom!" Gu Junzhu said proudly with a smile, "Not only was she famous in Beijing for being the number one beauty, but she was also the top scholar at Beijing University – beautiful inside and out, well-read, both smart and pretty. Ten Auntie Xies put together wouldn't match up to my mom!"
Ye Xingbei chuckled, saying nothing.
Looking at Gu Junzhu, it was clear that his mother must have been both beautiful and outstanding.
Unfortunately, beauty often leads to a tragic fate; she couldn't grow old with Senior Master Gu.
