“Niannian, Dad knows that you are the one among the three of us who is most attached to the past life. But we can’t go back. Dad and Mom are already dead. We have experienced great ups and downs, and we have no regrets or worries. Da Zhou is a new life for us. As for you, you have had more than 20 years of smooth sailing and have a family that loves and cares for you. Perhaps, this world is not as good as that world for you.”
“But Niannian, you really can’t go back. This is a real world, and everyone here is flesh and blood. Your mother and I are grateful to God for giving us such a good daughter like you. We will treat you well and make you feel at home again. Your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and siblings at the old house will all be your family.”
"Niannian, bury those memories deep in your heart. In the Great Zhou, here, begin your new life. Do what you want to do, experience a life you've never experienced before. I promise you, as long as I'm alive, no one in the Great Zhou will ever bully you! Unless they step over my dead body. Whether they are royalty or heroes of the martial world, if they bully you, I will exterminate their entire clan!"
Gu Shouxin's last words were spoken with great force and conviction.
Gu Nian couldn't stop the tears from flowing: "Father!"
She hugged Gu Shouxin and began to sob.
It's been almost half a year, and she still often thinks of her brother and sister-in-law, as well as her lovable nephew and lively, mischievous niece.
Everything in Da Zhou felt somewhat unreal to her. She treated this place as her nephew's book. She always hoped that one day she would wake up from her dream and find herself lying in her own room, with her sister-in-law making soup and calling her to drink it, her nephew routinely teasing her about not being able to find a boyfriend, her niece routinely asking her for help with her homework, and her older brother routinely inquiring about whether there were any new, reliable junior PhDs in her lab.
She knew rationally that it was impossible, but she still had that thought in her mind.
Gu Shouxin's words shattered the last glimmer of hope in her heart, but they also made her realize once again how good it was to have a father.
The last time was on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year when he was looked down upon by the Cheng family. His father beat Cheng Rui without saying a word.
She knew that the Cheng family's discovery of smuggling salt and iron was closely related to her father. In his previous life, her father was someone who could manipulate the royal family at will. Therefore, she believed her father's promise: whoever bullied her, he would exterminate their entire clan.
Gu Shouxin patted Gu Nian's back with a smile: "I've never been a father before, this is my first time, so, Nian Nian, if there's anything wrong with your father, you must tell me."
Gu Nian released Gu Shouxin, wiped away her tears, and said, "Father, I've always been someone's younger sister or apprentice. This is the first time I've been someone's daughter. In the future, if there's anything wrong with me, please tell me. In this world, I only have my parents and younger sister."
Gu Shouxin nodded: "Alright, I will be your support, mother and the three of you. Don't treat this like a book, and don't worry about the characters in it. You are my eldest daughter, Gu Shouxin's eldest daughter. You have the right to be powerful in this world. I'll take care of everything, even if the sky falls!"
"Pfft..." Gu Nian laughed and cried at the same time, "Father, you've learned my and Mother's language, and you even know what 'arrogance' means! Father, you must become the most arrogant person in the Great Zhou, so that your daughter can become the most arrogant girl in the Great Zhou!"
"Second Uncle!" At this moment, Lu Zheng's voice rang out from outside.
Gu Shouxin patted Gu Nian on the shoulder: "Just treat him like a silly village idiot who is unloved by his parents and doesn't dare to reveal his identity. We won't bully him, but we'll trick him more often in the future."
Gu Nian grinned: "Okay!"
