Chapter 256: Changed person after one night?

Jiang Xiuqing also came over to take a look, and then exclaimed in amazement.

"It really looks like her! If I hadn't told you, you would have thought it was a photo of Yilan."

Grandpa Jiang nodded after seeing it, "It really looks like it!"

Seeing that everyone was saying so, Gu Xiaoxi told Xie Ru about the two times he had met her.

Then, he also specifically mentioned the woman named Xie Zhu and her son Xie Wanghuai.

Gu Yimin was still confused after hearing this. "I saw your grandfather go to the post office twice before, but I didn't know anyone in Kyoto sent him money. The Gu family doesn't have any relatives in Kyoto!"

Grandpa Jiang was silent for a long time before he said, "When your father was young, he often went to Dingcheng countryside for a while. I heard that a relative left Dingcheng and went to Kyoto."

"What?" Gu Xiaoxi's expression froze after hearing this.

"That Xie Ru told me that Xie Zhu is actually from the countryside of Dingcheng, not from Huaicheng."

"This... is such a coincidence?" Gu Yimin felt that his brain was not enough.

"Your father mentioned it once accidentally when they were drinking, but I'm afraid he has forgotten it." Grandpa Jiang recalled.

"What is this Xie Zhu doing? Why does she send money to your grandfather every month? If they have such a good relationship, they should have been in contact a long time ago, right?" Jiang Xiuqing couldn't understand.

Gu Xiaoxi pondered for a moment before saying, "Mom, there is another coincidence. The ancestral jade pendant that Grandpa Lu Jiansen gave him was stolen. After it was passed around, it was sent to Grandpa by Xie Zhu, and then it was stolen by Gu Xinli."

"What? There is such a thing?" Jiang Xiuqing was not calm this time.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "I also think this is very strange. But the woman named Xie Ru really looks like my aunt. Dad, does grandpa have any brothers or sisters?"

Gu Yimin nodded, "Yes, there are, but in the 1960s, some died of hunger, some died of illness, and only your grandfather was left. Didn't you see the tombstone when you went to sweep the graves during the Qingming Festival? Your grandfather had a younger brother and a younger sister."

"Besides those two, do you have any cousins?" Gu Xiaoxi asked again.

Gu Yimin shook his head, "No! Anyway, I have never seen it before."

"Dad, do you think your and Aunt Yilan's names are nice and special in the Gu family?"

Jiang Xiuqing couldn't help but reply after hearing this, "Yes! Your uncle's name is Gu Weiguo, your father's name is Gu Yimin, and your aunt's name is Gu Yilan. Now it's the turn of your third uncle and youngest aunt, Gu Dongbao and Gu Xiaomei."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes! How come grandpa and grandma suddenly become cultured when they give names to children?"

Gu Yimin had never thought about this before, and was a little stuck at the moment, not knowing what to say.

Gu Xiaoxi continued to talk, "From as far back as I can remember, it seems that grandpa and grandma didn't like dad, nor did they like Aunt Yilan. And they didn't like my mom and me either."

"Dad, tell me, is it possible that you are not your grandparents' biological child?"

Gu Yimin was a little sad for a moment, "When I was little, when your grandma beat me, I also doubted it, and even hoped it. But, your grandpa and I really look alike!"

I wouldn't say they are 100% similar, but they are 50% similar.

It was because of this resemblance that he realized how whimsical he was.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry about this for now. I'll take a look at it secretly first. Next time, next month I'll think of a way to follow your grandpa." Jiang Xiuqing suddenly said in a low voice.

She also wanted to know who would have the heart to send money and checks to old man Gu every month.

She wouldn't believe it if there wasn't something fishy going on.

Grandpa Jiang patted his daughter and said, "Don't be nosy. Your father-in-law may not look like a good person, but he is actually very smart! Don't be fooled by the fact that you didn't see anything."

Gu Xiaoxi took the opportunity to persuade him, "You don't have to follow them yourself, just tell Uncle San intentionally or unintentionally. In fact, I even suspect that Uncle San knows this secret."

"Don't you think that sometimes when Third Uncle wants something, when he wants money from Grandpa and Grandma, he often says half-sentences and says that if they don't give it to him, he will go to the post office and cry..."

Gu Yimin was startled, then he slapped his thigh, "Hey! That's what happened. The third brother has said this many times. He definitely knows."

You go to the post office to find someone to cry to. Doesn’t that mean you know that Old Man Gu will go to the post office to withdraw money? Could it be something else?

Lu Jiansen listened to their discussion and suddenly said, "You don't have to do anything here. I have asked people to keep an eye on Xie Zhu. As long as she goes to the post office to send money or letters again, I will know."

Gu Xiaoxi's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea!"

"Do you want to stay up all night? If you can't stand it, go to bed first!" Lu Jiansen asked softly.

When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, she immediately shook her head and said, "No, I'm going to have a good sleep!"

Jiang Xiuqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Go to sleep! Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, get up early!"

"Hey!" Gu Xiaoxi quickly grabbed a few sweet potato chips and rushed back to the room.

Jiang Xiuqing was helpless, "This child, he sleeps without washing his hands after eating?"

"Mom, it's okay. I'll bring some water in for her to wash." Lu Jiansen spoke lovingly.

Jiang Xiuqing felt deeply moved. She saw with her own eyes how much Lu Jiansen loved his daughter.

I just don't know if that silly boy of mine's son is lucky enough!

…

The next day.

Gu Xiaoxi really woke up early in the morning, but when she looked by the bed, Lu Jiansen was not there.

He actually got up earlier than me?

I looked at my watch and confirmed that it was only five o'clock!

She put on her shoes and coat, and ran to wish her grandpa and parents a happy new year without washing her face.

After the auspicious words were said, Gu Xiaoxi, who was already married, received three red envelopes.

No, four.

Because after Lu Jiansen poured her water for washing her face, he also gave her a red envelope.

The smile in Gu Xiaoxi's eyes seemed to be dyed with starlight, "Why did you give me a red envelope?"

When no one was paying attention, Lu Jiansen secretly kissed her on the cheek.

"In my heart, you are still a little girl. I will give you New Year's money every year from now on!"

Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "You should have given it to me yesterday as a New Year's gift."

"Then I'll change it next year and give it to you on New Year's Eve."

While the two were chatting and laughing, Gu Dachuan came over awkwardly.

To Gu Xiaoxi's surprise, there was a strange lesbian following his brother.

The man was slim, wearing a military coat, with bright and handsome features. He smiled when he saw Gu Xiaoxi.

"Sister Xiaoxi, I'm Li Qiaoyi, your future sister-in-law!"

Gu Xiaoxi's eyes widened: "..."

"Sister-in-law?"

Li Qiao smiled and nodded, "You sound really nice when you call me sister-in-law! I came here in a hurry today and didn't bring any gifts. I will give you a New Year's gift when I come over in the afternoon."

"Huh?" Gu Xiaoxi was a little confused about the conversation.

Jiang Xiuqing, who was standing at the kitchen door, also had her mouth slightly open, looking confused.

Gu Yimin was also confused, but he reacted quickly and glared at his son.

"What do you mean?"

Didn’t this brat shout about marrying Ding Lanyi last night?

How come the person was changed after just one night?
