Chapter 210 Family Background

Two bodyguards got out of the car.

One of the bodyguards went around to the back seat and opened the back door.

A tall, long-legged man got out of the back seat. "Uncle Gu, it's been a long time."

Gu Jinhong frowned.

Xie Chaoyin straightened the wrinkles in his clothes, his cold eyes sweeping over Gu Jinhong, "I wonder what brings Uncle Gu here?"

Instead of answering, Gu Jinhong asked, "Did that kid Sui Xing send you here?"

Xie Chaoyin smiled faintly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "Uncle Gu, you're getting old, so you should retire. It's better to mind your own business and not interfere in things that aren't your concern."

Gu Jinhong snorted, "That's my great-grandson. Can't I even see him, you old man?"

“Your great-grandson is someone else’s child too,” Xie Chaoyin said. “I heard you don’t even like the child’s mother, so why would you want to see the child?”

Gu Jinhong: "Those are two different things."

"Is that so?" Xie Chaoyin sneered. "I heard you look down on the child's mother for being an illegitimate child. Come to think of it, your grandson and the child's mother weren't married either, so logically, that child is also an illegitimate child. Don't you despise illegitimate children the most?"

Gu Jinhong patiently said, "No matter what, he is a descendant of the Gu family, and I absolutely cannot let a descendant of the Gu family wander outside."

Xie Chaoyin reminded him, "That child's surname is Lu."

Gu Jinhong scoffed, "We can just change it back when we get back to the Gu family."

Xie Chaoyin's expression grew even colder. "So it seems Uncle Gu is determined to take the child away today?"

Gu Jinhong glanced at Xie Chaoyin and said in a deep voice, "No matter what that kid Suixing said to you, this is a family matter of our Gu family. Nephew, it's best not to interfere."

The Xie family is a well-known, long-established wealthy family in City A. For generations, they have been involved in education and have always enjoyed a high reputation in the education field. Their students are spread across various industries, and their network of connections and influence is extensive. Even when he was at his most young and ambitious, he could only give way to the Xie family, let alone now that he is old.

No matter how arrogant he is, he must admit one fact.

The Yangtze River flows on, with each wave pushing the one before it, and Xie Chaoyin is the one standing at the top now.

If possible, he did not want to have a conflict with Xie Chaoyin.

Gu Jinhong remained calm and continued, "You were born into the Xie family, so you should know the importance of social standing. Sui Xing's grandmother is my legal wife. She was born into a prestigious family. Her father was my only legitimate son, and her mother was the eldest daughter of the Huo family. Sui Xing was born into an aristocratic family. Her status is not something that an illegitimate daughter with an unknown father is worthy of."

“It was fine when Zhenjun and Ayao liked each other, but that woman caused my son to become a vegetable, lying in bed for six years, neither alive nor dead. And recently she caused my grandson to be in a car accident. Such a scourge does not deserve to enter my Gu family no matter what.”

“Now that she has given birth, I can’t stop her anymore, but the Gu family’s children must return to the Gu family.”

Father unknown, illegitimate daughter, a scourge...

Every word that came out of the old man's mouth was like a sharp blade, piercing Xie Chaoyin's heart.

If it weren't for Tang Ya, how could his daughter have an unknown father, and how could she have become an illegitimate child?

His daughter was not the culprit; everything was caused by Tang Ya, who was completely innocent.

If we have to find someone to blame, then that person can only be him.

Xie Chao suppressed his anger, repeatedly telling himself that Gu Zhenjun had become a vegetable because he was saving his daughter, and the old man in front of him was Gu Zhenjun's biological father. He owed Gu Zhenjun a life for what happened back then, and he couldn't take advantage of Gu Zhenjun's inability to move and then hurt his father.

We cannot treat this old man the same way we treated Tang Ya.

If it weren't for this relationship, the fact that Gu Jinhong kidnapped his daughter and wanted to sell her to Europe would have been enough to kill this old man a hundred times over!

"I'm sorry to disappoint Uncle Gu," Xie Chaoyin said firmly. "Unfortunately, this matter also happens to be a family matter for me."

Gu Jinhong frowned. "What do you mean?"

Xie Chaoyin said coldly, "That illegitimate daughter you mentioned, whose father is unknown, is my biological daughter! That child is my grandson!"

Gu Jinhong was taken aback. "What did you say?"

"Lu Fengqing is my only daughter and the only heir of Chaoxing. I will recognize her and bring her back to the Xie family in the most solemn way." Xie Chaoyin said clearly, "In terms of paternal lineage, no daughter in the entire City A can compare to her. She is the only princess of my Xie family in this generation."

"In the eyes of several long-established wealthy families in City A, and in the eyes of the Xie family, the Gu family is nothing more than a rising star."

"She doesn't need to be with anyone, no one is good enough for her! Even if she wants to get married someday, she's qualified to have a son-in-law come to her door!"

Looking across the entire City A, there is no family that can compare with the Xie family in terms of heritage and prestige.

If the Xie family gave his daughter an impeccable family background, then his courtship bestowed upon her absolute wealth and status.

His daughter could even be queen if she wanted to.

Xie Chaoyin took a deep breath and said calmly, "Rui Rui is my daughter's child. Whether she takes the surname Gu or Lu is up to my daughter to decide. Even the child's father has no right to interfere!"

“How could this be…” Gu Jinhong murmured.

How could Lu Fengqing's illegitimate daughter be Xie Chaoyin's daughter?

How could the eldest daughter of the Lu family, who seems to be living in the shadows, be with Xie Chaoyin?

"I heard that the eldest grandson your illegitimate son gave birth to is now working at Gu's." Xie Chaoyin's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Since you value lineage so much, shouldn't the family business be passed down to the child of an illegitimate son?"

Gu Jinhong remained silent.

"What you did to my daughter, even a thousand cuts wouldn't be enough to quell my hatred. For Zhenjun's sake, I won't do anything to you, but the Gu family..."

"You can take Xie's words as alarmist. We'll see in time. Just wait and see."

After saying that, Xie Chaoyin went into the kindergarten without looking back.

He wasn't joking.

The Gu family can only belong to Gu Zhenjun or Gu Suixing; only in this way can the Gu family continue to exist.

Otherwise, he wouldn't mind destroying it.

Even at a tremendous cost!

"Lu Chenrui, someone is looking for you."

Dada ran in from outside the classroom while pulling up his pants, saying, "He's a very, very handsome uncle."

Rui Rui looked up at the doorway.

A moment later, the teacher appeared outside the door.

The young female teacher looked at him with a smile, "Lu Chenrui, come out for a moment."

Rui Rui walked out of the classroom, puzzled.

I looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes.

Like Mom.

Rui Rui immediately felt a sense of goodwill towards the other person. "Hello, Uncle."

Xie Chaoyin smiled and said to the female teacher, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to the child for a bit."

The female teacher knew Xie Chaoyin's identity, knew he was a member of the Xie family, knew the kindergarten principal, and had just invested a large sum of money in the kindergarten—enough to buy it outright. She wouldn't do anything to a child.

But the female teacher was still a little worried.

She heard about the Baijia Kindergarten a couple of days ago.

Xie Chaoyin pointed to the location of the slide, "We're right over there."

The classroom door faces the playground, and the slide is in a position that can be seen from inside the classroom.

The female teacher was somewhat relieved and nodded in agreement.

Rui Rui followed Xie Chaoyin to the slide.

Xie Chaoyin bent down, picked up Rui Rui, and placed him on the small platform of the slide.

This way, even when Rui Rui is sitting on the slide, she can look him in the eye.

Rui Rui looked up blankly.

Xie Chaoyin raised his hand and patted his head, gently correcting him: "I am your mother's father, you should call me maternal grandfather."
