"Yingying, you're here? Come sit with Grandma for a while."
Su Ying had a bad feeling. "Grandma, Si Nian has an important meeting tonight and won't have time to come see you until tomorrow morning."
Yan Yan looked unconcerned. "It's okay. I won't talk about him. I have something to tell you."
She understood that if Si Nian were here today, she definitely wouldn't have been able to bring it up, but it was different with Su Ying present, since this matter was related to her, but not to her.
Outsiders are more likely to comment, but insiders are less likely to.
They had clearly promised Si Nian that Qiao Xiyan's son would never be allowed to enter the Gu family.
Now everything has changed, and she's going to break her promise.
Gu Huadong was too ashamed to stand there, and besides, it would be better if no one was around to talk about what the old woman was about to say, so that it would be easier to say it later.
"Old woman, it's not too late yet. I'll go to the state-run restaurant and buy you something nice to eat."
Yan Yan nodded. She had already sensed the old man's unease, so it was good for him to go out and find some peace and quiet.
"Okay. Buy more. Yingying rushed over in such a hurry, she probably hasn't had dinner yet."
Su Ying shook her head, "No need. I already ate before I came, and I really can't eat anymore."
"Okay then. Just buy enough for both of us."
Gu Huadong nodded and walked away with hurried steps.
Su Ying was clearly taken aback; there was something wrong with these three people.
Just as she expected, Grandma Gu kicked her father-in-law, Gu Yuanhong, out.
"Get out of here too. I find you incredibly annoying."
Gu Yuanhong understood what the old lady meant; they had already discussed it, and Qiao Yanshuo had to return to the Gu family.
This child is only ten years old. He needs to return to the Gu family and can no longer wander outside. After all, he is a member of the Gu family.
In fact, Gu Sinian, Su Ying, and the five children from the He Gu family were not related by blood.
Now, between Gu Sinian's family and Gu Yanshuo, they have all chosen Gu Yanshuo.
Gu Yuanhong stood up pitifully, rubbed his sore knees, and closed the door behind him.
The Gu family has already lost face recently, and he didn't want to lose face again at the hospital, so he silently closed the door.
Yan Yan was also afraid of losing face. Her son understood her well, so she closed the door so that she wouldn't feel embarrassed about what she was about to say.
"Come sit down, kid."
Yan Yan patted the chair not far from her, gesturing for her to sit down.
Su Ying obeyed and did as instructed, but today's events were a bit unusual and strange.
But she had no choice but to sit down; she wanted to see what kind of trouble Grandma Gu was up to.
"Grandma, just say what's on your mind. This is weird."
Yan Yan touched her face and asked again, unsure.
"really?"
Su Ying nodded. Her eyelids had been twitching all day, and she thought it was because her great-aunt had fainted. But it seemed there was something else going on.
"Really. Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush. You seem to be fine, I need to rush back to evening self-study later."
Yan Yan rubbed her hands together, as if she had made a great decision before revealing the truth.
"It's like this... No matter how surprising what I'm about to say is, you have to wait for me to speak, otherwise I really won't be able to say it a second time."
Su Ying was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, feeling very suspicious. What could be so difficult for an old man?
"Uh-huh."
"That's good. What I really wanted to say was... my good-for-nothing son insisted on marrying Li Yaxian, and after only a few years in the family, he dared to commit such heinous crimes."
"She got pregnant with her second child five years after she married into the family, and she was very anxious. My son was very successful at that time, and his position kept getting higher and higher."
“Li Yaxian’s sense of security is getting lower and lower. She is afraid that if she has a daughter in her second pregnancy, her son will not want her.”
"When the baby was a little older, in order to find out the gender of the baby in her womb, she consulted a famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who could perform fetal palpation, and found out the gender of the baby in her womb."
Su Ying wanted to interrupt, but remembering Grandma Gu's instructions, she suppressed her curiosity.
Grandma Gu continued speaking, “When she found out that the baby in her belly was a girl, she came up with a plan.”
"I don't know how they found out that the Gu family had a branch in the countryside. They used their connections to find Gu Dabao's family. Their relationship with the Gu family is relatively close to that of the direct line, and they look the most like the Gu family members."
"Knowing that Gu Dabao was having a hard time and had been raising money to treat his eldest son's illness, he agreed to exchange children. Gu Dabao gave his biological son to Li Yaxian, and Li Yaxian originally wanted to give her daughter to Gu Dabao so that they would be even."
"But what happened in the operating room later gave her an opportunity. Knowing that Qiao Xiyan, the eldest granddaughter of the Qiao family, was willing to die in an accident, the old lady was afraid of taking responsibility, so she agreed to switch children."
"That dead baby was taken away by Gu Dabao, and nobody knows where it was buried."
Su Ying was horrified by what Grandma Gu said. After all that, she was basically saying that Gu Sinian wasn't a child of the Gu family, but rather the son of Gu Dabao, a member of a collateral branch of the Gu family.
Qiao Xiyan is actually Li Yaxian and Gu Yuanhong's second daughter.
No wonder Li Yaxian always seemed to think that Qiao Xiyan was truly in love with her.
So that's how it is. That explains everything. Li Yaxian ignored Gu Sinian and never gave him any maternal love.
Even when their children go missing, they act as if it's nothing to them, completely indifferent.
The child went missing, there was no reaction, and she even gave birth to her third child. Actually, Li Yaxian probably wanted to have a son with her third child, but it seems that God has been playing a joke on her all along.
She gave birth to her third child, a daughter named Si Shi.
Gu Sinian isn't her biological child, so she doesn't care about him and ignores him completely.
Su Ying was not only clever, she knew that Grandma Gu had laid so much groundwork for the sake of that child in the orphanage.
"So what was Grandma's purpose in telling me all this? Just say it directly, I understand what you mean?"
Yan Yan rubbed her hands together. Although she didn't want to give up her grandson Gu Sinian, as well as her five great-grandsons.
But Qiao Yanshuo is also their great-grandson. They can't favor one over the other. Their own children suffer outside, while their non-biological children grow up in their love and protection.
Thinking about it this way, Yan Yan felt sorry for Qiao Yanshuo.
Despite being the same age as Chenchen and Xiaobao, Yan Shuo has suffered a great deal.
“I’ve discussed it with your grandfather and father-in-law. We’ll go to the orphanage tomorrow to bring Yan Shuo back to our family. He’ll live with us from now on.”
"Anyway, you rarely visit the Gu family because of Li Yaxian, and you see Yan Shuo even less often after he comes back."
Su Ying could only laugh when she heard this. The grandson she used to love so much changed his attitude so quickly after finding out he wasn't her biological son. His favoritism was so extreme.
Even though they knew about the feud between He Qiaoxi and her husband, their current attitude was that the child was innocent and they couldn't just ignore him.
I believe that before long, their hearts will also turn to Qiao Xiyan.
At this moment, she really wanted to burst out laughing.
