Chapter 295 Fear
"Zijie said that since you've chosen Lai Jinchuan, you're no longer a member of the Shao family, so don't call me grandpa anymore! You can leave!"
Grandpa Shao didn't want to hear Shao Ziyu say anything about admitting his mistakes or regretting his actions.
He is indeed old, but he is not senile.
I understand perfectly well.
Shao Ziyu doesn't know she's wrong.
Instead, they were afraid!
She no longer regrets her past greed and wickedness.
Instead, she worried that she would no longer be able to enjoy the wealth and luxury of the Shao family.
Instead of wasting time listening to her insincere remarks, let's not waste our time here.
It would be better to spend more time with your own granddaughter.
Shao Ziyu's words were stuck in his throat. He stared intently at Old Master Shao, his eyes bulging with shock and resentment, like a duck whose neck had suddenly been grabbed.
"grandfather……"
"go out!"
Old Master Shao suddenly shouted, his anger undisguised, which instantly frightened Shao Ziyu so much that his face turned pale. Without daring to delay, he quickly turned around and ran away.
Xu Yirou looked at Shao Ziyu with disdain, as if she were fleeing a flood or a ferocious beast.
How pathetic...
The old man in front of Mingming was someone who had lived with Shao Ziyu for more than 20 years.
She should know Old Master Shao better than I do.
But a seemingly genuine outburst of anger was enough to frighten Shao Ziyu to this extent.
What a tragic thing this is!
"Yi Rou".
Just then, Old Master Shao looked at her cautiously and asked, "Child, I didn't scare you just now, did I?"
Xu Yirou shook her head and smiled, "You are my grandfather, so why would I be afraid of you?"
Upon hearing her say that, Old Master Shao's eyes instantly reddened.
He spoke more cautiously, asking, "Girl, you...you actually knew, didn't you?"
Xu Yirou understood what Grandpa Shao was asking.
He nodded immediately and said, "I know, Grandpa."
Grandpa Shao stepped forward excitedly, walked up to her, and asked, "When was it? Was it... when we first met?"
"No! Even earlier!"
Xu Yirou shook her head and said, "I already knew the day after Yan Fei's wedding!"
Grandpa Shao was taken aback, not expecting that she had known about her background so early on.
Thinking of this, he could no longer contain his emotions and asked, "Then, child, are you... willing to acknowledge us?"
Xu Yirou began, "I already called you Grandpa the first day we met..."
Upon hearing Xu Yirou's words, Old Master Shao's eyes immediately reddened with emotion, but before he could say anything...
Then Xu Yirou continued, "However, for the rest of you, it's fine to stay as you are now!"
Xu Yirou didn't know what she was struggling with.
However, at the beginning, after witnessing the unreserved and boundless doting that Shao's father and mother showed to Shao Ziyu,
Suddenly, she no longer wanted to acknowledge them.
What can happen after they recognize each other?
Do you want to act out a scene from a novel you read in your past life, where a real and a fake heiress compete for the affection of their parents and family, just like Shao Ziyu?
If that's the case, wouldn't she be letting down God's kindness in giving her a second chance at life?
Xu Yirou is actually a very clear-headed and lazy person who just wants to live her life well.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to keep her distance from Gu Yanxiao without hesitation after discovering that he hadn't divorced his wife Su Xiangwan and was living a loving and harmonious life with her after her rebirth.
To prevent oneself from having even the slightest possibility of interacting with the trajectory of one's past life.
Even though she and Gu Yanxiao were a fake couple in her past life, it didn't change her decision.
To avoid fate playing another cruel joke on her.
Later, she became closer to the Gu family and Su Xiangwan, which was because she and Wu Yong'an had confirmed their relationship.
She never believed in pure friendship between men and women.
If they do, they're just using the other person as a backup plan, an emotional dumping ground, someone they can flirt with at any time to fill a void.
Neither she nor Gu Yanxiao could be that kind of person.
Therefore, maintaining a proper distance is an important and wisest choice.
If she didn't have such a clear understanding, she, Su Xiangwan, and Gu Yanfei wouldn't be able to be good friends now.
It was precisely because she had always maintained a clear understanding that she was able to see how much her parents doted on Shao Ziyu.
Even though she guessed that Shao Ziyu was the one who had switched identities with her, she had no intention of acknowledging her.
But now...
She noticed Old Master Shao's attitude towards her.
It was also discovered that Shao's parents' doting on Shao Ziyu was not without limits.
Once they discover that Shao Ziyu has done something that violates their patriotic principles and bottom line as soldiers, they will not hesitate to sever ties with him.
Therefore, Xu Yirou hesitated...
Seeing her hesitation, Grandpa Shao's eyes reddened, and then he sighed and said, "Child, don't rush. You can continue to observe and see. When you feel that you are willing to accept them as your family, then you can acknowledge them."
Grandpa Shao still had confidence in his son and daughter-in-law.
Their character and manners are excellent.
Besides, blood is thicker than water. Once Xu Yirou gets to know them better, she'll definitely come to like them.
Especially Shao Zijie, the old man believed that the two siblings would definitely get along very well.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Xu Yirou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Silly child, why are you thanking Grandpa?" Grandpa Shao smiled and patted her head, his eyes full of affection.
Xu Yirou chatted with Old Master Shao for a while longer, and only took her leave when the Shao family was about to bring him his meal.
Because of this incident, Xu Yirou was absent-minded all afternoon.
Su Xiangwan and Gu Yanfei, who were reading with Xu Yirou, both noticed that her mood was off today.
"Yi Rou, what's wrong? You look so preoccupied." Gu Yanfei asked curiously, noticing that Xu Yi Rou hadn't turned the page of her book for a while.
Xu Yirou simply closed the book and said, "I just have one thing I'm still unsure about how to do, so I'm still hesitating."
"What's wrong? Is it convenient for you to tell us?" Gu Yanfei asked curiously.
In her memory, Xu Yirou was a very rational, calm, and thoughtful girl.
What could be so distressing that it's even affecting her studies?
