Chapter 842: Chapter 844: Pretty Boy
"We really should thank Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu," Gu Mingzhu said with a smile, carefully observing Xu Nianhua. She didn’t look like someone who grew up in the countryside at all. Looking at her attire, the ruffled white blouse and jeans, she seemed exceptionally youthful and vibrant.
"My parents are indeed great. When they get older, I will definitely take care of them without hesitation!" Xu Nianhua responded to her words, seeing Gu Mingzhu’s face once again, she realized that it was perhaps unnecessary to care anymore.
After seeking revenge, she spent a long time immersed in endless work to earn money, which she then gave to homeless children to enable them to go to school.
Now, seeing her again, it feels like a lifetime has passed.
At eleven o’clock, Gu Hai hurried back home, bringing a large watermelon. When he saw Xu Nianhua, he was exceptionally enthusiastic. Upon knowing Pei Yicheng was Xu Nianhua’s partner, he paused to briefly inquire what he did and how they met, praising him for being a university student majoring in architecture.
This family reunion was simple, lacking excitement and uncontrollable emotion, and even during the conversation, there was a trace of awkwardness, as if no one knew what to say.
It wasn’t until the relatives of the Gu Family arrived that everyone learned Xu Nianhua was Gu Hai’s long-lost daughter, and that she shared the same blood type as Gu Mingzhu. As they assessed Xu Nianhua, initially they thought she came from the village and had a pretty face, but wouldn’t have any presence.
At that moment, they all realized that their past thoughts were mistaken.
Xu Nianhua stood there charmingly. If no one mentioned it, who could believe Xu Nianhua came from a village?
Thus, everyone showered Xu Nianhua with praise, ultimately also praising Gu Hai, saying the seeds of the Gu Family were good. Gu Hai’s mood was cheerful; even though he knew the compliments carried exaggerations, he still enjoyed hearing them.
Gu Hai felt proud inside. No matter where his seeds were, they could shine bright. First, there was Gu Mingzhu, and then the long-lost Xu Nianhua. Although his son Gu Mingcheng didn’t have a knack for business, he possessed a talent for painting.
The relatives of the Gu Family intended to butter him up, and Gu Hai felt that having his long-lost daughter Xu Nianhua brought him face, while Fang Yue thought Gu Mingzhu’s childbirth issue could be resolved. Her smile bloomed like a flower.
This atmosphere persisted until the arrival of Gu Junhe.
Divorced Gu Junhe was increasingly annoyed with his life these days, feeling pointed at by others everywhere he went. He ended up loving the feeling of being drunk, getting intoxicated every time, enjoying the blissful haze it brought him.
Finally, Gu Junhe’s mother noticed something was wrong and arranged a match with a quiet girl, helping him escape the cycle of daily drunkenness.
This time, when Gu Hai’s biological daughter returned, Gu Junhe was supposed to come for lunch, but was held up by something at the last minute, arriving late with a gift he had prepared beforehand. Seeing Pei Yicheng, he blurted out, "Aren’t you that pretty boy?"
"What pretty boy?" Gu Junhe’s mother was puzzled upon hearing this, staring at Pei Yicheng, Xu Nian’an, and Xu Nianji. Finally, she locked her gaze on Pei Yicheng, as among the three, Pei Yicheng was the most handsome one.
