Chapter 259 What's your name?
Gu Yin followed Chu Yan out of the car and saw the four characters "Chu Family Mansion" carved on the stone wall next to the gate.
Chu Yan opened the umbrella and led Gu Yin inside: "This is the Chu family's old residence. Our whole family lives here. This house has been passed down for a long time and has been constantly being renovated."
The large red door was pushed open, and an old butler in a long robe walked out. When the old butler saw Gu Yin, he was surprised for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Young Master, is there a guest visiting?"
Chu Yan introduced: "This is Uncle Wu. He's the one who manages the household. Uncle Wu, this is Gu Yin, my friend."
Gu Yin greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Uncle Wu, I am Gu Yin, you can call me A Yin."
"Good, good, good! It's been so long since any kids have come over to play! Come in, come in, it's snowing outside!" Uncle Wu warmly invited Gu Yin into the house.
As soon as she entered the gate, Gu Yin was amazed by the greenery inside.
A row of lush bonsai trees, each worth tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, stretched out before Gu Yin! How did she recognize them? In her past life, when she was filming a period drama, the director used these very expensive bonsai!
The road surface also appears to be paved with white marble, as does the small bridge ahead, whose main structure is entirely made of white marble. White marble can be expensive or cheap, but for a family like Chu Yan's, Gu Yin felt that this stuff was not cheap.
After crossing the small bridge, passing the pavilion, and passing the greenhouse, they finally saw the main house. It took Gu Yin and the others about five minutes to walk just this one path!
If Xiao Tou came in, Gu Yin felt that their pockets would be full before they even reached the main building.
The main building has two floors, and there are two annexes, all of which are wooden structures. I wonder how much the annual maintenance costs are.
Are you nervous?
Gu Yin nodded and then shook her head: "It's alright, what's meant to happen will happen. Do you think they'll have any questions when they see me?"
Chu Yan looked at Gu Yin meaningfully: "You'll know when you go in."
At the time, Gu Yin did not understand the meaning behind Chu Yan's words. However, after the two of them entered the house and saw Old Mrs. Zhou drinking tea on the sofa, Gu Yin finally realized the deeper meaning behind his words.
They look so alike! If it were Gu Yin from her past life, she wouldn't actually look that much like her; Gu Le is more similar.
But in this life, she changed her body and her temperament also changed a lot. If she stood next to Old Mrs. Zhou, no one would say that the two of them were not related!
Everyone looked over when they saw someone come in.
Grandpa Chu smiled and said, "You must be Gu Yin! Yaqian told us about you. Come, come, sit down and have some tea. It's awfully cold outside, don't catch a cold!"
Chu Yan led Gu Yin to sit next to Old Master Chu.
Gu Yin took out the tea leaves from her hand and placed them on the table: "Grandpa Chu, Grandma Chu, Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Gu Yin, a friend of Chu Yan. I apologize for disturbing you by coming here without telling you!" After speaking, she looked at the two people beside her and nodded: "Hello, you two." Then she stopped looking at them.
After saying that, he took off his mask, hat, and scarf.
Before the others could react, Chu Xiong exclaimed in surprise, "You're not that little girl from S City!"
Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Does Uncle Chu know me?"
Chu Xiong laughed, glanced at his son, and said with a smile, "No, it's not that. It's just that once when Ayan and I went to S City on a business trip, we saw you in the electronics district. I noticed him staring at you, so I asked him if he knew you, and he said no. You little rascal, trying to fool me!"
Just as Chu Xiong finished speaking, the sound of a cup falling to the ground came from the side.
Everyone looked over and saw that Old Madam Zhou was looking at Gu Yin in horror.
Grandpa Zhou was also completely bewildered. He looked at Gu Yin, then at his wife, then back at Gu Yin, then back at his wife again. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Aside from the old master and Chu Yan, everyone else in the Chu family was stunned when they saw the old master's reaction and looked at Gu Yin and the old lady.
"My goodness, how can two people look so alike! Old Master, could this be your long-lost daughter with Madam?" Chu Xiong exclaimed.
Grandpa Zhou rubbed his face, shook his head, and then looked at Gu Yin again. Looking at her face, his mind went blank for a moment.
Could this be Zhou Ming's illegitimate daughter? Or is this a scheme by the Chu family? Did she have plastic surgery?
Before he could figure it out, his wife got up and went to Gu Yin's side.
Wang Yanzhi squatted down in front of Gu Yin, her hands trembling as she stroked Gu Yin's face.
She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with fear, anticipation, and confusion as she looked at Gu Yin.
"Child, what is your name?"
Gu Yin did not stop her actions, and quietly looked at her: "My name is Gu Yin."
The old lady blinked, her eyes immediately reddening: "Gu Yin, Gu, what a nice name. Then, what's your father's name? How old is he?"
The people inside were all quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.
Even Old Master Zhou didn't dare to make a sound at this moment. His heart was pounding rapidly! His breathing became rapid, and he had a premonition that something unbearable might happen next!
Gu Yin blinked: "Gu Qinglang, my father's name is Gu Qinglang, he is 48 years old this year."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Zhou's heart tightened. He hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them quickly!
"48, so, where are you from? What's your hometown?"
Gu Yin glanced at Grandpa Zhou and, seeing that his emotions had stabilized, replied, "I'm from Nanxian County, Jiangshi City, Z Province. As for my hometown, I don't know where it is. My grandfather was from the north. Later, he fled famine to the southwest and found my father in the woods by the highway in Nanxian County."
Two lines of clear tears immediately streamed down Grandma Zhou's moist eyes! Her legs were too weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Grandpa Zhou came over and helped the person onto the sofa.
He didn't look at Gu Yin, but at Old Master Chu, and said in a deep voice, "What does this mean?"
Old Master Chu knew of his suspicions. He understood that businessmen valued profit, and at this moment, Old Master Zhou was certainly wondering if this was a deliberate arrangement by the Chu family.
"Hmph! Keep your little schemes to yourself. It was indeed my arrangement, but I'm also surprised to learn that this girl looks so much like your wife. If you have any questions, just ask her directly. I don't know anything else!"
Gu Yin knew that it was impossible for someone who had built such a large business to easily believe that she was his granddaughter. Just as she remained unmoved when she saw Old Madam Zhou crying, because her family had shed far more tears than theirs! As long as she couldn't be sure whether these two were involved in dealing with their family, nothing could shake her resolve in the slightest!
Gu Yin didn't want to play the guessing game with them anymore.
She stared coldly at Old Master Zhou and said in a chilling voice, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any illegitimate children?"
Old Master Zhou's expression hardened: "No! What are you saying? My love and my relationship are as strong as the heavens and earth! How could there be such things!"
Do you and your wife have any siblings? Are you close to them?
"No, Yanzhi and I are both only children!"
Gu Yin's mind was in complete turmoil. She had no idea who the enemy was!
"And what about your opponent?"
Grandpa Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Our competitors are all overseas!" Their Zhou family's business, Hangyuan, has always faced competition from foreigners.
