Three years ago, early summer.
The fifteen-year-old boy, carrying an old black backpack, stood timidly in the courtyard of the Lin family villa with his thin figure.
Is this my home? Living here are my blood relatives.
The house is so big and beautiful!
Gu An blinked his clear eyes and looked around, like a country child entering a wealthy area, curious about everything and full of anticipation.
"Come in and meet your biological parents and sisters." A housekeeper came up from behind with a paternity test certificate in his hand and spoke to him in a gentle voice.
"Oh." Gu An was nervous. He waited until the butler passed him before following him closely and carefully stepped into the villa.
In the lobby on the first floor, Lin Quan stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window, while his wife Yao Xin sat on the sofa, checking their son Lin Zizhen's final exam results, chatting and laughing.
Seeing the housekeeper leading Gu An in, Lin Quan nodded lightly.
Looking at the son he had just recognized, he looked about 80% similar to himself. His eyes were evasive when he looked at him, and he seemed a little timid and shy, but he was indeed the child who was lost fifteen years ago.
"Gu An, I am your biological father. This is your mother, and your younger brother Zizhen. In addition, you have three older sisters."
Today is the weekend. The eldest daughter Lin Hui is out shopping and has not returned yet. The second daughter Lin Jingyi is on duty at the city hospital. The youngest daughter Lin Jingjing has not yet had her freshman year holiday and cannot be seen for the time being.
"Dad, Mom." Gu An spoke softly, calling out the two names he had always dreamed of.
"Yeah. You've suffered a lot outside these years. It seems that your adoptive parents' family conditions are very ordinary."
Yao Xin put down the test paper in her hand, frowned, and continued, "Our Lin family is a wealthy family in Jiangcheng. In the future, try to get rid of those bad habits, don't bring garbage home, and get along well with your younger brother Zizhen. As an older brother, you are not allowed to bully him. Do you understand?"
"Brother, welcome home. We will definitely become good brothers. I have always longed to have a brother who loves me, and I didn't expect my dream to come true today. It's great."
Lin Zizhen looked so happy that he was about to cry, which made him very loveable.
Yao Xin caressed his head lovingly, with boundless warmth in her eyes. This warmth was the ray of sunshine that Gu An, who was standing three meters away, longed for at this moment.
"Oh, by the way, Mom, where will my brother live when he comes back?" Lin Zizhen nestled in Yao Xin's arms, raised his head and rubbed her neck and asked.
Lin Quan frowned. He hadn't considered this question before. Now that he had his son back, he couldn't not live at home.
The villa has two floors.
The rooms on the second floor are five bedrooms and a study, leaving no room for Gu Anke to live in.
There were only two or three nanny rooms downstairs left empty. It seemed inappropriate to let his son live in the nanny room. Lin Quan was a little embarrassed for a moment, so he looked at his wife.
"Dad, I can give up my room to my brother and move downstairs to the nanny's room."
"No, Zizhen, you are weak and the nanny room is not good for your health. Gu An, you just came back and there is no suitable room at home for the time being. You have to bear with it for now and live next to Qin Ma downstairs."
Yao Xin asked in a positive tone.
"Mom and Dad, I'm fine. I'm just not used to the room being so big." Gu An smiled considerately.
A faint light flashed in Lin Zizhen's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Lin Quan was very satisfied with his son's understanding and said, "Okay, Aunt Qin, please clean up Gu An's room."
"Yes, sir." Qin's mother meekly entered the nanny's room next door and began to tidy up and clean.
Inside, there's just a simple wooden bed, a small wardrobe, and a simple table and chairs. Just spread out the bedding and you're good to go.
Gu An hung several summer clothes in his backpack in the closet and wanted to chat with Lin Zizhen, but his younger brother ignored him and said he was tired and went upstairs to his room.
Helplessly, he took out his high school textbooks and studied silently in a small room in a strange home.
Why didn't his biological parents feel as close to him as his godmother? Gu An shook his head and attributed it to the fact that they had only spent a short time together when they first met. They would accept him over time.
It was almost six in the afternoon when the deep roar of a red Ferrari's engine echoed through the courtyard. The door opened, and a pair of long, straight legs stepped out of the driver's seat.
Lin Hui casually brushed her long wavy hair off her shoulders and walked into the living room in high heels.
"I heard that grandpa found my brother and sent someone to send him back. Where is he?" She looked at Qin Ma who was preparing dinner and spoke lightly.
Aunt Qin pointed to the room next to the storage room on the first floor and said, "Miss, Master Gu An is in his room."
Gu An heard someone talking, closed the book, opened the door and looked towards the living room.
Lin Hui walked up to him and carefully examined this fair and shy brother through the door. "Gu An? I'm Lin Hui, your eldest sister."
"Hello, big sister." Gu An's eyes sparkled. Big sister is so beautiful!
"Well, you are in the first year of high school now, right? Which high school are you in?"
"No. 1 Middle School."
"No. 1 Middle School is out of the question. How can a boy from our Lin family attend a commoner's high school? Let Dad arrange for you to transfer to an aristocratic high school next week. Remember, your status is different from that of ordinary people."
Lin Hui attended a top private high school and looked down on Jiangcheng No. 1 High School. However, Gu An felt that Jiangcheng No. 1 High School was excellent in every way and there was no need for her to transfer.
The thought of nobility made him feel awkward. He was just an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy, an ordinary high school student. But he had just met his elder sister today, and it would be rude to reject her kindness.
"Thank you, big sister."
"Well, we are all family. By the way, your brother Zizhen is very well behaved. You two should get along well with each other." When mentioning Lin Zizhen, the lines on Lin Hui's face softened.
"I know, big sister."
Lin Hui nodded, gave her instructions, and went upstairs to her room to change her clothes.
After dinner was ready, as it was getting dark, Qin Ma started to serve the dishes to the table. The kitchen was only a few steps away from the dining room, so Gu An hurried to help when he saw this.
"Mother Qin, I'll help you carry it."
"Hey, Master Gu An, just leave this kind of thing to me. If the master and his wife see it, I will be scolded. You just came back, so take a good rest and wait for dinner."
Gu An smiled and said, "It's okay. I often do housework at my adoptive parents' house. I can cook."
"That won't work either. Put it down and let me do it. You are a good boy, thank you, Mother Qin." Mother Qin snatched the plate and said to him softly.
On the second floor, Lin Zizhen stood at the stairs, coldly watching every move downstairs, snorted coldly, lowered his eyes and went downstairs.
As he went downstairs, Lin Hui also witnessed what happened downstairs. She frowned slightly, thinking that she would have to take more care of this little brother in the future.
"Mom, Dad, Big Sister, Brother Zizhen." Gu An stood stiffly beside the dining table without sitting down.
Lin Zizhen sat next to Yao Xin without saying a word.
"Come sit next to me. Your second sister is working overtime today, so it's just a few of us having dinner." Lin Hui pointed to the seat next to her.
"Oh." Gu An raised his lips slightly, sat down and lowered his head to eat, occasionally picking up the dishes in front of him with his chopsticks.
The food was plentiful and tasted good, but for some reason, he felt that it was not as delicious as the food cooked by his godmother.
