Chapter 262 Can I go with you?
After waiting for about twenty minutes, the person Chu Yan had called to fetch the hair arrived.
Gu Yin looked at the man and asked curiously, "How did you get it?"
The man glanced at Chu Yan, and seeing that Chu Yan didn't say anything, he explained, "I asked the hotel's cleaning lady to take their hair from the room."
Gu Yin: "..." I seem to have asked a really stupid question!
Chu Yan smiled, and after the man put the things down, he left the Chu family.
Grandpa Zhou looked at the family doctor: "When is the earliest you can get it?"
The doctor checked the time, picked up the item, and said seriously, "I'll take it to the hospital now. The earliest I can get it is 8 PM tonight."
This is because the hospital belongs to the Chu family, so they can get priority treatment. If they went to an outside hospital, even with connections, it would take at least three days.
After the doctor left, Mr. Zhou seemed to have lost all his energy. He looked extremely tired and leaned against the sofa with his eyes closed, without making a sound.
Seeing his expression, Old Master Chu turned to his daughter-in-law and said, "Jinse, take Madam Zhou to the guest room to rest."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhou opened his eyes and said gratefully, "Then I'll have to trouble you. Without the results, I have no heart to do anything else. My wife is also mentally unstable right now, so let's wait for the results before we leave."
After saying that, he got up and went to the side of the sleeping Old Madam Zhou, bent down and prepared to pick her up.
Seeing his condition, Gu Yin began to worry that he would fall down before she could even pick him up!
"I'll do it."
Just as Grandpa Zhou was about to lift the person up, he heard a familiar, cold voice.
He paused, looking at Gu Yin in surprise: "Can you lift her up?"
In this room, Old Mrs. Chu definitely couldn't lift him, and Mrs. Chu wasn't that strong either, so she would have to carry him herself.
To be honest, Zhou Wansheng could pick her up, but he was also a little uneasy, afraid that she might fall on the way. He was actually surprised to hear Gu Yin's voice.
From the beginning until now, Gu Yin's attitude has shown that she has no interest in the Zhou family, and is even indifferent to him and his wife. He understands all of this, so Zhou Wansheng feels that Gu Yin, who took the initiative to help, should still care about them. This phenomenon should be a breakthrough, so their relationship is actually not that bad, right?
Gu Yin didn't say anything, but bent down and easily picked up Wang Yanzhi. Then she looked at Mrs. Chu and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way, Auntie."
Yao Jinse shook her head and smiled, "Just come with me."
Upon arriving at the guest room, Yao Jinse saw Gu Yin gently and slowly place her on the bed, then take off her shoes and coat before covering her with a thin blanket.
Just now in the living room, she had been indifferent and aloof, which made Yao Jinse think that she harbored hatred towards the Zhou family. But now, seeing her carefully tucking the blanket around Old Madam Zhou, Yao Jinse smiled. She was a cold-faced but soft-hearted little girl, which was quite pitiful.
If Yao Jinse were in that situation, she probably wouldn't be as calm as Gu Yin, nor would she be able to get along peacefully with those people; she might even do something outrageous.
Gu Yin turned around and saw Madam Chu smiling at her. She asked in confusion, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
Yao Jinse shook her head, smiled, stepped forward and held Gu Yin's hands, and said gently, "The more I look at you, the more I like you. I was so looking forward to having such a sweet and gentle little girl when I was pregnant, but it turned out to be that cold-hearted brat Chu Yan! Auntie originally thought she was destined to never have a daughter in this life, but after seeing you, I feel that I can have one now! From now on, don't call me Auntie, just call me Chu Mama, okay?"
She had originally thought of adopting Gu Yin as her goddaughter, but considering her silly son's thoughts, she had to change her approach.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Mother Chu."
"Oh! Alright, alright! I didn't prepare any gift for you. This bracelet is one I just bought and have only worn for one day. It's a glass-type jadeite with some floating patterns. It's not bad for a girl your age to wear!" Yao Jinse took the bracelet off her hand and put it on Gu Yin's wrist.
Gu Yin looked at the bracelet, which was translucent, strong, and elegant yet with a touch of cold beauty. She was about to refuse when Yao Jinse stopped her.
"It's not anything expensive, just wear it for fun, no need to feel too pressured! Besides, you already call me Aunt Chu, if you're being so particular, does that mean you don't really want to call me that?!"
Gu Yin quickly shook her head: "No, it's just that it's too expensive."
Yao Jinse pulled her out the door: "It's nothing valuable, just material possessions. How can it be as valuable as you? When we have time later, let's go shopping and buy some pretty clothes!"
After everyone left, Old Madam Zhou finally opened her eyes.
Actually, she woke up when Gu Yin carried her up, but she was so attached to her granddaughter's embrace that she didn't make a sound.
Tears welled up again without my noticing.
If the child grew up by her side, she would be showered with love and affection. Why would she be flustered and uneasy over a bracelet?! It's all her fault! She was too careless, which led to this situation. When she heard the child call Mrs. Chu "Mama Chu," she couldn't tell whether she felt envy or jealousy. She also wanted Gu Yin to call her "Grandma" instead of "Old Madam Zhou," but what right did she have?
Old Madam Zhou turned over, closed her eyes to rest, and thankfully everything was still in time.
Gu Yin and Grandpa Zhou had lunch at the Chu family's house. At the table, both Grandma Chu and Grandpa Zhou noticed the bracelet on Gu Yin's wrist, smiled but didn't say anything. Grandma Chu kept putting food on Gu Yin's plate, which made Grandpa Zhou feel uncomfortable.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he also picked up a piece of food and gave it to Gu Yin. When Gu Yin looked at him, he lowered his head and muttered, "We're using serving chopsticks."
Gu Yin didn't say anything, and slowly ate the food she picked up.
Seeing that she didn't find it offensive, Grandpa Zhou then got busy with the preparations.
"This dish is good, and this one is good too. If you ever go to Hong Kong, I'll take you to try their specialties! There's Typhoon Shelter Crab, Lucky Roast Suckling Pig, Crossing-the-Bridge Hakka Salted Chicken, and Award-Winning Pigeon. Especially the Award-Winning Pigeon, you can tear the skin and meat apart by hand, and it's fragrant, juicy, and the meat is very plump and tender! It's so delicious! Your grandma and I both love it, and I think your tastes are probably not that different."
Only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had just said "your grandma"!
Grandpa Zhou looked at Gu Yin with embarrassment, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright.
After lunch, Chu Xiong and Yao Jinse had to go to the company, so they left the old house first.
Chu Yan looked at Gu Yin: "Why don't we go look at houses first? We'll have the results tonight anyway."
Thinking of her family at the hotel, Gu Yin nodded: "Okay, shall we go now?"
Upon hearing this, and seeing Gu Yin stand up, Old Master Zhou quickly raised his voice and asked, "Looking at houses? Are you looking to buy a house? In Beijing? Today?"
Seeing Gu Yin looking over, he coughed lightly: "Um, may I come along and take a look?"
Seeing his pleading eyes, Gu Yin softened and nodded, "Go if you want, but don't complain about being tired."
Grandpa Zhou quickly stood up and said happily, "Not tired at all, I'm only in my sixties, still young!"
Old Master Chu hadn't slept well last night and needed to catch up on his sleep, so he didn't go out with them. After instructing Chu Yan to treat the guests well, he returned to his room.
Chu Yan drove a minivan out of the garage; there would be a lot of people later, and the car would be just enough to seat everyone.
