Chapter 117 Marrying into the Gu Family
Gu Siyan heard the sound of a string breaking in his heart.
He stepped forward subconsciously, but his grandmother's voice drowned out his footsteps:
"Wuwu, what are you talking about? If our Gu family were to send you away just because of a few gossips, wouldn't that make people think we're guilty?
They would say: Look, look, if there is no ghost, why would they chase her away?
Not only can you not leave, you have to be closer to the Gu family than before.
If we are open and honest, and not afraid of what others say, the rumors will collapse on their own."
Qin Bingwu opened her mouth. This... this was different from what she expected.
In her previous life, Qin Ruolan was determined to stay. She tried to please the Gu family and pretended to be gentle and virtuous. In the end, Gu Siyan arranged for her to marry a country family, which was actually to drive Qin Ruolan away.
For such a big thing, the old lady must have known and agreed. Now it was me, and I took the initiative to leave, but the old lady wouldn't let me go:
"Grandma, you said you had something to tell me alone, didn't you want me to leave?"
The old lady was stunned by her question. After thinking about it for a while, she finally realized:
“How could that be.
You silly child, my Gu family is not only extremely powerful, but it is more than enough to protect you.
Your family is in such a state. If you go back, they will definitely be guarding your door every day. How can a girl like you withstand such a ferocious group of reporters?
They will find every opportunity to tear you apart.
Don't think too much, just stay at the Gu family. If you say something like this again, grandma will be angry with you."
Gu Siyan walked over and said:
"Forget what I told you before. Don't carry everything on your own. We are all your family and your support."
Gu Siyue came running over, gasping with his mouth open. He only heard half of it, but that didn't stop him from speaking anxiously:
"Don't you respect me, your fourth brother? I've already told you that if anything goes wrong, I'll protect you. What are you afraid of?"
Gu Sican slowly appeared in the greenhouse and spoke slowly:
"The Gu family has a family rule that the minority obeys the majority. If you want to leave, the family must vote on it."
Qin Bingwu thought about it and wondered:
"Is there such a house rule?"
Gu Siyan nodded:
"Well, everyone must abide by the house rules we just added from now on."
Qin Bingwu: “…”
Seeing their concern for her and the old lady's love for her, Qin Bingwu felt very grateful.
If she had gone through so much hardship and betrayal in her previous life in exchange for such a good family in this life, then she would say it was worth it.
Qin Bingwu's emotional stress syndrome seemed to be coming back. Her vision was blurry. She was crying, but her face was full of smiles. The old lady wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief, comforting her as she wiped:
"Silly child, why are you crying for no reason? Don't cry, don't cry..."
Qin Bingwu couldn't help the warmth and happiness that surged in her heart, and answered while shedding tears:
"I... I can't bear to leave the Gu family, I can't bear to leave Grandma, and I can't bear to leave my brothers... I thought, I thought Grandma, you misunderstood the relationship between me and my third brother, and I can only prove my innocence..."
The old lady looked distressed and gently hugged the girl in her arms:
"You are so kind-hearted, always thinking of others. You are so young, grandma really likes your sensibility, but also feels bad that you are too sensible. Look at your third and fourth brothers, they are all older than you, but none of them are as considerate as you..."
Gu Siyue scratched his head:
"Grandma, there's no need to praise one and criticize the other. I'm not bad either."
Gu Siyan gave him a sharp look, and he immediately admitted his mistake:
"I will learn from Xiaowu in the future. I will definitely be more considerate than Xiaowu. Grandma, please hug your grandson. He also needs your praise."
As he spoke, Gu Siyue also rushed over and hugged the old lady and Qin Bingwu, causing the old lady to laugh and scold again:
"You're so unruly! You're already grown up. In a few years, you'll be getting married and having kids, yet you're still so unruly..."
There was laughter and chatter in the greenhouse, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Gu Siyan felt relieved, as long as she didn't really want to leave.
The old lady pushed Gu Siyue away and said seriously:
"I originally had something important to ask Wuwu. Since you all care about Wuwu so much and are here, why don't you just stay here and listen?"
After Qin Bingwu calmed down a bit, she sat up straighter.
"Grandma, what do you want to ask me?"
As long as she wasn't driven away, Qin Bingwu felt that the other problems shouldn't be a big deal.
The old lady held her hand and looked at her with a gentle and kind look in her eyes. She asked in a gentle voice:
"Wuwu, in the three months since you've been here, I've seen clearly that you're a good girl. Smart, kind, talented, and capable. This time, those reporters' nonsense reminded me of something very important."
The more Qin Bingwu listened, the more cautious her expression became, because the longer the prefix of "old lady" was, the more serious the matter was.
"You're an adult now, and you'll eventually get married. Grandma is thinking, since you're going to get married sooner or later, why don't you marry into my Gu family?"
These words were like a nuclear bomb dropped into this huge sunroom.
Gu Siyan clenched his fingers into fists, and hope suddenly flashed in his eyes. He was surprised that his grandmother would have such an idea.
Gu Sican's peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles as he lazily fiddled with the orchid beside him, and the smile on his lips grew wider.
Gu Siyue almost sprained his waist:
"No, grandma, did I hear it wrong?"
The old lady glanced at him:
"You heard right, Wuwu is such a good girl, grandma is reluctant to let her marry out.
Good things should be kept within the family. You are only siblings in name, and this is a well-known fact. Wuwu marrying into the Gu family is a great thing that strengthens the relationship between the two families.
This way Wuwu can be with her biological mother in the future. You know each other well, and you don’t have to worry about Wuwu being bullied after she gets married, right?
Or do you dare to treat Wuwu badly?"
Qin Bingwu was unable to react for a long time:
"Grandma, this... this is not possible..."
The old lady patted the back of her hand, looking as if it was a matter of course:
"Why not? As the saying goes, 'the one who's close to the water gets the moon first.' Wuwu, you just said that you have a good impression of your four brothers, don't you?"
Qin Bingwu didn't dare to look at Gu Siyan's eyes, not knowing how he would react.
"Grandma, I'm still young. I don't have any ideas about this yet."
Qin Bingwu tried to evade the challenge, hoping to get through it quickly, but the old lady had made up her mind:
"Don't be afraid, little one. You can choose the brother you like and date him for a few years first. After a few more years of dating, you can get married. That's just right."
Qin Bingwu was surprised. Grandma, you have such a fashionable mentality, no wonder you look so young.
"But, feelings are mutual, so I have to ask my brothers if they have any opinions."
Qin Bingwu threw the ball out with some anticipation. As long as Gu Siyan and the others cooperated and said that they had no feelings for her, grandma couldn't force her to do anything even if she got angry.
