"Nannan!"
"Nannan!"
Having not seen Gu Nanzhi for three days, Mr. Gu and Mr. Liu's eyes turned red as soon as they saw Gu Nanzhi.
Especially when he thought about what the leader had told them, that Nannan was leaving, tears welled up in the eyes of the gray-haired old man...
Nannan!
This is their daughter!
How could the girl they had been looking for for more than ten years be gone just this short time ago, before they had even had a good time with her?
Both old people found it hard to accept!
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
Gu Nanzhi called out, and stepped forward and said with a guilty conscience: "I was wrong, I was too willful, secretly with Xie Zhenting..."
She was just about to confess that she secretly got married to Xie Zhenting, but...
"There's nothing wrong with that! Whatever my daughter does is right!"
But Mr. Gu took the lead and said, "If you want to be with that kid Xie Zhenting, then be with him. As long as you are happy, we won't stop you from now on..."
"Yes! We won't stop you!"
Seeing this, Mr. Liu wiped away his tears and said, "As long as you are happy, we are happy as long as our daughter is happy!"
The treasure they had finally found might soon leave them...
At this time, how could they be willing to do anything that would make their baby unhappy?
Gu Nanzhi: “???”
Seeing that my grandfather and grandfather's attitudes were completely different from before, I was completely dumbfounded.
"You...don't object to me and Xie Zhenting being together?"
Mr. Gu: “No objection!”
Mr. Liu: “No objection!”
Gu Nanzhi: “Why?”
Before she and Xie Zhenting secretly got married, their family members were very consistent in their views, saying that late marriage and late childbearing would lead to better eugenics. Why is it now...
Suddenly changed?
A possibility flashed through Gu Nanzhi's mind, and he couldn't help but look at the two old men's red eyes...
Upon hearing this, Elder Gu and Elder Liu remained silent, but their red eyes and the tears in their eyes silently confirmed Gu Nanzhi's guess...
"You... know?"
Gu Nanzhi asked in a low voice.
A trace of sadness suddenly appeared on the faces of Mr. Gu and Mr. Liu, and the look they gave towards Gu Nanzhi was full of reluctance.
Gu Nanzhi: “!!!”
Facing them like this, how could I not understand?
The leader's mouth is really...
Not strict at all!
Of course, she didn't tell her boss that this matter needed to be kept confidential!
"We're not sad! Let's go back to my office and talk!"
Gu Nanzhi stretched out her hands to hold their arms, and said affectionately: "I'll ask the guards to prepare the dishes you like for you later, okay? Grandpa likes to eat braised pork, and grandpa likes to eat braised eggplant. The institute's cafeteria has them all. I'll have someone send them to our office and we'll eat them there!"
The research institute was not far from Gu's house. Usually, when the two old men came over at noon, Grandpa would win by relying on the distance to successfully take her home. Then, she would take her own grandfather with her...
But today...
Seeing the two old people like this, Gu Nanzhi felt that she should not go home for dinner!
The ones who need comfort the most at home are actually these two elderly people. As for the others...
After all, we are young and have a stronger ability to accept...
The research institute was built specifically for Gu Nanzhi, and her office can be said to be the largest room in the institute except for the research laboratory.
While waiting for the guards to bring the meal, Gu Nanzhi made tea for the two old people and placed the teacups in front of them. Gu Nanzhi sighed and broke the silence: "Grandpa, grandpa, you don't have to be sad..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu and Mr. Liu said: "!!!"
My eyes got hot.
Men used to not shed tears easily, but at their age, it has become nonsense!
"Nannan... the leader said... is what the leader said true?"
Old Master Gu spoke tremblingly, looking at Gu Nanzhi with a hint of hope in his eyes, "The leader must have lied to me and your grandfather, right?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nanzhi lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"Let Nannan speak for herself!"
Seeing this, although Mr. Liu looked sad, he managed to calm himself down and said, "Nannan, if you have anything to say to us, just say it. We can bear it!"
Gu Nanzhi heard: "..."
He glanced at the two elderly people, smiled bitterly, and said, "Thank you for your love for me. Thank you for letting me experience the feeling of having a home and a family. The leader did not lie to you. Unfortunately, I am not the child you have been looking for..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu and Mr. Liu couldn't help but turn pale.
"To be precise, this body is indeed the child you are looking for, but I... am not!"
Facing the two well-informed people, Gu Nanzhi did not hide anything and told them everything she knew...
She doesn't belong to this world. To this world, she is an intruder!
The original owner of this body should have died when her parents hung her on the beam and beat her!
Gu Nanzhi did not tell them about this world, only about the world in the book. She just told them everything she had experienced here, including the original owner's memories, the suffering she had endured since childhood, and the original owner's deepest hopes and expectations for her biological family...
After listening to Gu Nanzhi's story about the original owner's previous life, Grandpa Gu and Grandpa Liu broke down and cried bitterly...
"Nannan! Our Nannan!"
"Our daughter has suffered so much!"
"It's all our fault. We didn't find her. If we could have found her earlier, if..."
“…”
“…”
Too many regrets!
So much regret and heartache!
But there are no ifs in life!
Their daughter had already died before Gu Nanzhi appeared today!
This blow was like a bolt from the blue to them, but...
After all, the two had seen many ups and downs in life, and had experienced the loss of their loved ones many times during the war, so...
After a while, they finally stopped crying, turned to look at Gu Nanzhi, and said earnestly: "Nannan, now that we have talked about our child, let's talk about you..."
"I……"
Gu Nanzhi was dazed for a moment when she heard this, as if she was lost in memories, trying her best to extract useful information about her past life. "I am an orphan, and grew up in an orphanage. When I was very young, I showed extraordinary talent, and was selected by the country to be trained in a genius class..."
"I have no family and no friends. My life was all about studying when I was a child, and all about scientific research and data when I grew up!"
"The country has done its best to train me, and I also want to do my best to give back to my motherland. I had already learned a lot when I was ten years old, and when I was thirteen or fourteen, I no longer had a teacher..."
