Chapter 145 Telling His Thoughts
Gu Siyan's reason was refuted by Gu Sican:
"If Wuwu changed her surname to Gu, who would dare to cause trouble for her? Do we, the Gu family, eat vegetarian food?"
Gu Siyan: "..."
He raised his eyes to look at Gu Sican who was sitting opposite him. The other party met his scrutiny with a half-smile and silently made a mouth shape:
Are you a Ninja Turtle?
Gu Siyan was stunned. He didn't know what Gu Sican's lip movements were, but he had a feeling it wasn't a good thing.
Even the two reasons he gave were refuted. Gu Siyan knew that unless he told his thoughts, he would not be able to find any other strong reasons to ask Wuwu to change her surname.
After all, changing one's surname to Gu is a good thing worth celebrating for everyone.
If he had known that today's happy dinner for Wuwu would turn out like this, he would probably have chosen to celebrate with her alone.
But there is no if. If he doesn't express his feelings tonight, once Wuwu changes her surname to Gu, it means she will really become his sister. In the eyes of outsiders, his thoughts are incestuous, and he doesn't want her to suffer more criticism.
Changing the surname absolutely cannot happen, so the only option left is to confess.
Having made up his mind, Gu Siyan placed his hands on his thighs, clenched his fingertips, and moved his thin lips:
"actually……"
A clear voice spoke first, Qin Bingwu said:
"Grandma, brothers, Mr. Gu, I am very grateful for everyone's love for me, but I think what Brother Yan said is right. My company is still in its infancy, and the less negative news the better. Moreover, even if the outside world knows that I am not the daughter of the Qin family, if I want to change my surname, it should be my mother's surname, not Gu.
Everyone is doing this for my own good, but I still don't think I need to change my surname. My surname is Qin, and it's where I came from. My past won't change just because I'm not surnamed Qin, and my future won't be affected by my surname being Qin either."
After listening to the girl's story, Gu Siyan slowly loosened his fingers that were pinching each other.
After Qin Bingwu finished speaking, she lowered her eyelids.
She could see that he did not approve of her changing her last name.
But this was not the main reason. She found that when she heard her grandmother's proposal, her first reaction was that after changing her surname, she would become Gu Siyan's biological sister.
Qin Bingwu found that she was really attracted to Gu Siyan.
But he said several times that he only treated her as a sister.
Therefore, this feeling of excitement can only be a secret in my heart and cannot be expressed out loud.
Gu Sican's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them twice, and finally he relaxed and leaned back in his chair, becoming even more playful.
The matter of changing the surname was put aside, and the restaurant continued to be lively and joyful.
After the meal, Qin Bingwu accompanied her mother and the old lady in the sun room to look at the flowers and chat while digesting the food. Gu Siyan came in with three shawls in his hands:
"It's cold at night, don't catch a cold."
Qin Bingwu took the shawl and put it on her mother. Gu Siyan had also put a shawl on the old lady. Just as she was about to take the last one, she saw the man raise his hand slightly and gently put the shawl on her shoulders.
The old lady watched from the side with a smile on her face:
"Ayan, when you refused me in the restaurant before, I thought you didn't like Wuwu as your sister. But when grandma saw you being so gentle and considerate to Wuwu, it's obvious that you like Wuwu, right?"
Qin Bingwu's heart tightened. After realizing what she was thinking, she was a little afraid to look into Gu Siyan's eyes again.
"Of course, my refusal doesn't mean I like you, and my agreement doesn't mean I like you either. I treat Wuwu well because she deserves it, and I take care of her because she needs it."
The man's gentle tone was neither hurried nor slow, and there was a firmness in the softness, which seemed to give people a strong sense of conviction and a full sense of security.
Madam Gu nodded with satisfaction:
"Yes, I feel relieved when you answer like that. You know how to take care of girls. Even though she's my sister, I'm very happy that you've changed like this. When you have a girlfriend or a wife in the future, I won't have to worry about you anymore."
Gu Siyan: "..."
"What are you talking about, grandma? What girlfriend? It's too early."
He replied to his grandmother, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Qin Bingwu. However, the girl stopped looking at him after dinner. He didn't know if it was because he kept finding reasons not to let her change her surname, which made her angry.
Madam Gu said dissatisfiedly:
"Your Grandma Mo told me that you had dinner with that girl from the Mo family last time. Tell me, besides business dinners, have you ever had dinner with other girls in these years?"
"Yes, I had dinner with Wuwu."
Qin Bingwu widened her eyes: "???"
Madam Gu raised her hand and slapped him:
"That's outrageous. How can eating with my sister be considered like that? Anyway, grandma doesn't care. Your grandma Mo said that the girl from the Mo family has a birthday in two days and has invited you. You must go."
Gu Siyan refused:
"She didn't invite me, she invited Wuwu."
Qin Bingwu had no intention of going, but unexpectedly the old lady was very happy:
"Wuwu should go too. Wuwu doesn't have many friends in Beijing. It would be even better if she gets along well with the girl from the Mo family. And Yuzhi, ask your Uncle Gu to go with them."
Qin Bingwu: "...Grandma, I..."
Without waiting for Qin Bingwu to refuse, Madam Gu said earnestly:
"Wuwu, you may not be used to such occasions, but you are now a member of my Gu family, and your mother is already my wife. You will have to experience all kinds of social events and grand occasions in the future. It is better to start with these small banquets to get used to them and accumulate experience.
This way, your mother won’t be panicked when she has a wedding in the future.”
Qin Bingwu couldn't say no to the old lady's kindness:
"Okay, Grandma, I'll go."
Madam Gu persuaded Qin Bingwu, then turned to look at Gu Siyan unhappily:
"Wuwu is more sensible than you, are you going?"
Gu Siyan quickly glanced at the girl in front of him. She was going to attend the Mo family's birthday party, so he would definitely go over to protect her:
"Um."
Mrs. Gu achieved her wish and smiled with satisfaction like a flower.
…
The birthday party is coming soon.
Qin Bingwu was not very nervous, but her mother was nervous for several days. She had not faced a stranger other than a doctor in a normal way for a long time.
In the car, Cheng Yuzhi, who was wearing a dress, would pull at the slit of her cheongsam from time to time. Although the slit was not high, just a little above the knee, she still felt uneasy.
After spending a few days together, Qin Bingwu already knew that her mother's recovery was not optimistic. Mr. Gu quietly told her that the doctor's diagnosis was that her mother's brain's own protection mechanism made her forget the painful things, so that when her mother recovered to normal, her IQ and memory were only that of a few-year-old child.
The reason why she still remembered her daughter Qin Bingwu was because during the time when she was locked up in the mental hospital, only Qin Bingwu visited her every now and then, brought her food, and called her mother.
My mother doesn’t remember how she met Qin Baichuan, and she has even forgotten who Qin Baichuan is.
Similarly, he also forgot who Qin Bingwu's biological father was.
