Gu Chen looked around and noticed that his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, was not there; he then asked, "Where is Second Uncle? Why isn't he at home?"

When Xu Qinge saw that it was Gu Chen who had returned, she quickly pinched her daughter Gu Qingyan's hand, signaling her to calm her emotions, and to make sure that nothing was revealed to Gu Chen.
