Everyone immediately became serious, but the smiles in their eyes were so thick they were almost overflowing.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as she looked at her.
The superficial joy infected Lin Xiaoxiao; the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, and her big eyes curved into beautiful crescents.
The only victim present was identified.
Chu Wuyi: "..."
He refused.
A thousand, ten thousand people disagree.
The second, third, and fourth brothers all laughed, wondering why he was the only one being punished.
"Sister." Chu Wuyi's eyes darted around, and he tugged at Lin Xiaoxiao's arm. "You'll stand up for me, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him. The little boy blinked his eyes, looking pitiful, really like a disheveled puppy that had fallen into the water.
Suppressing a laugh, she said, "There's nothing I can do about it."
Grandpa Chu glared at his grandson, annoyed. "Alright, how old are you? Stop with the nonsense."
"Let go of your sister right now! My granddaughter is pregnant. If you hurt her, you'll regret it!"
Everyone knows about the old man's favoritism.
Having longed for her granddaughter for so long, how could she not protect her with utmost care?
Once you have a granddaughter, you no longer care about grandsons.
Chu Wuyi wanted to stick together with his older brothers for warmth, but was disdainfully kicked away.
"Xiao Wu, please help me take the box down from the cabinet in the room."
Xiao Wu is Old Master Chu's personal secretary, responsible for taking care of him and knowing his habits best.
Upon hearing the old man's instructions, he immediately went to the room with a smile and retrieved the box.
After placing the box next to the old man, I stepped back.
Old Master Chu opened the box, inside was a complete set of perfectly preserved jewelry, sparkling and radiant.
Exquisitely crafted, with a gold base, woven with gold wire, and inlaid with hundreds of gemstones, its red, blue, and purple shimmering with a mysterious glow.
Such a complete and precious headdress would be worthy of being displayed in a museum in later generations.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with amazement; she was stunned by something so beautiful.
“Such pretty things are perfect for young girls like you.” Grandpa Chu closed the box, pushed it in front of Lin Xiaoxiao, and smiled kindly. “Although we can’t wear them openly now, holding them in our hands and looking at them occasionally will still lift our spirits.”
"Grandpa doesn't have anything special, so consider this a gift from Grandpa to you to mark your relationship with him."
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "It's too expensive."
"Compared to you becoming a member of our Chu family, this little thing is nothing. Please accept it." Old Master Chu was genuinely happy.
Lin Xiaoxiao agreed to become godparents to the Chu family, so she'd be willing to give them anything, no matter how valuable, let alone a set of jewelry.
The Chu family all shared the same thought and urged Lin Xiaoxiao to accept it.
Tang Jie and Wan Fen also brought out the gifts they had prepared, which were either gold or jewelry, demonstrating the profound wealth and resources of the Chu family.
If sorted by age, Lin Xiaoxiao would only be second to last. Chu Wuyi is one year younger than her, and Chu Wuyou, Chu Wuyan, and Chu Wujin above her are all her brothers.
Chu Wuyan rubbed his hands together, grinning in a lewd way, "Sister Lin, call me Third Brother, shall we hear it?"
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Third Brother."
Hearing that soft "Third Brother" made Chu Wuyan feel incredibly comfortable.
My sister is definitely the best.
Every time Chu Wuyi called him Third Brother, he felt like he was being chased by a creditor.
Lin Xiaoxiao also stopped calling Chu Wuyou and Chu Wujin "Second Brother" and "Fourth Brother".
They all gave Lin Xiaoxiao gifts, though not as precious as those from her elders, but they were full of heartfelt sentiments.
"That's not right," Tang Jie suddenly said, touching her chin, frowning, and looking puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Chu Weinian looked at his wife.
Tang Jie glanced at Chu Weinian, then at Chu Xiaonian, and asked, "Now that Xiaoxiao is the old man's granddaughter, how should we address you?"
The issue of how to address someone is very important and must be clarified.
“Yes, Dad, you…” Chu Xiaonian was about to ask the old man.
Chu Weinian interrupted him, "Since Xiaoxiao is the old man's granddaughter, she will naturally recognize me as her godfather. She can call me Second Uncle, just like Wuyan and the others."
Chu Xiaonian: "No..."
Not the eldest brother?
You're so quick to talk.
Chu Weinian smiled slyly, like a fox, "I am the eldest brother, so Xiaoxiao should naturally be my daughter."
I've been thinking about this adorable little girl for a long time.
Chu Weinian, who has always regretted not having a daughter, is determined not to give up.
Chu Xiaonian was a step behind his elder brother, but he wouldn't be a step behind again. "You have three sons, I only have two. If Xiaoxiao becomes my daughter, I will have three children. That's what I call fair."
Chu Weinian stood his ground, saying, "I'm the eldest brother, you have to listen to me."
Chu Xiaonian then played the victim, saying, "Wu Xuan is at the base, and I only have Wu You by my side. It's not fair."
Chu Weinian: "I am the eldest brother."
Chu Xiaonian: "You already have three sons."
Chu Weinian: "I am the eldest brother."
Chu Xiaonian: "I..."
Chu Weinian was confident of victory, saying, "I'm the eldest brother."
“You…” The younger brother was still just the younger brother. Chu Xiaonian, a rough and uncultured soldier, was no match for Chu Weinian, who was good at politics.
His unwavering stance demonstrated his determination.
Chu Xiaonian had no choice but to compromise, and kicked Chu Weinian in dissatisfaction, saying, "You win."
"You flatter me." Chu Xiaonian gladly accepted his barbed praise.
The two brothers were on the verge of exchanging blows, making everyone else on the edge of their seats.
Grandpa Chu remained smiling, showing no concern whatsoever.
"Now that you two brothers have decided who is the winner, Xiao Xiao will call Weinian Godfather and Xiao Nian Second Uncle. No objections?"
"No." One voice couldn't hide its joy, while the other couldn't hide its frustration.
Lin Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and laughed. Without hesitation, she called out to Chu Weinian in a clear voice, "Godfather."
Then he looked at Chu Xiaonian and said, "Second Uncle."
"Oh, my good daughter." Chu Weinian smiled so brightly that his persona was about to collapse.
Since things had come to this, Chu Xiaonian didn't dwell on his depressed mood any longer and responded with a smile.
The family reunion was completed just like that.
Lin Xiaoxiao received many invaluable gifts, and felt a little embarrassed.
He was thinking of preparing some return gifts for the Chu family when he got back.
She originally intended to go back by herself, but Old Master Chu was worried about her and insisted that the bodyguard drive her.
Her godmother, Tang Jie, also gave her a lot of health supplements, as well as kimchi she had made herself.
At the dinner table, Lin Xiaoxiao mentioned that pickled radishes were delicious, and she remembered it. She even had Chu Weinian carry the radish and the jar together into the car.
The portion was so large that Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't finish it even after two months.
But the taste was indeed good, and Lin Xiaoxiao liked it, so she didn't refuse.
They've already accepted the more valuable items, so there's no reason for me to refuse.
Having been in this world for almost a year, Lin Xiaoxiao has never experienced the care and concern of her family, and her feelings are complicated.
I was both touched and happy.
Overall, I'm in a great mood.
