Chapter 19 Review Home
As soon as Mr. Gu said this, Gu Muxi's body, which had relaxed a little, tensed up again. She felt a sense of crisis. Although she knew that it was not her fault, if her mother had not made a deal with that person and handed herself over to the person who exchanged children, how could the Gu family's daughter be left alone?
Besides, I have enjoyed wealth and prosperity for 25 years, so I should give it back to her.
Thinking of this, Gu Muxi felt that she should leave the Gu family, but she had regarded this place as her home since she was a child, a home that could shelter her from the wind and rain, a home that pampered her and doted on her. She was reluctant to leave her grandparents who doted on her, her parents who loved her, and her brothers and sisters who indulged her.
She looked at Mr. Gu and Father Gu, and they noticed her gaze.
"Xixi, this is none of your business. What happened in the past will happen in the future. It's just that there is one more sister in the family." Old Master Gu said.
"Thank you, Grandpa, for not driving me away. I will definitely get along well with her in the future and do my best to make it up to her." Gu Muxi said with tears in her eyes. Everyone knew that "she" was referring to Ye Nuan, the real daughter who had not yet been taken back.
"Xixi, compensating her is your daddy's and your mom's responsibility. You should just be happy like before. We, the Gu family, can still afford to raise one more child." Gu's father said, but no one knew who this "extra child" he was referring to.
"Then, Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, and Dad, after we bring Ye Nuan home, how are we going to announce her identity?" Gu Moci, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke his first words of the evening. After he finished speaking, everyone stared at their phone screens.
Father Gu and Gu Mocheng glanced at each other. This was the crux of the matter they had been worried about. However, the one who made the decision on this matter was Old Man Gu.
"We'll discuss this later. When the child comes back, I'll ask her opinion first. If her identity is officially announced, her life will change drastically. She'll be watched wherever she goes. Does she want to live like that?
Of course, if she agrees to reveal her identity, we can announce that she was lost as a child and was just found, and that Xixi is another child adopted by the Gu family. This will be better for everyone."
Old Master Gu had no choice but to make this decision. After all, baby swapping was a big deal, and the incident that happened that year was also a big deal for the Gu family. If the truth was made public, the Gu Group would be pushed to the forefront again, and all the compensation paid to the Zhang family over the years would be wasted.
Madam Gu, Gu's father and mother, and Gu Mocheng all understood Mr. Gu's approach. They knew that doing so might be a little unfair to Ye Nuan, but this was the best solution they could come up with.
Only Gu Moci frowned: "Aunt's nephew? Oh, the Gu family's child was stolen and replaced, isn't he the culprit?"
Why should the Gu family bear all the responsibilities?
And he lived carefree for so many years?
Even if he was an employee of a Gu factory back then, so what? Why did Grandpa and Father protect him in this way?
If the matter had been resolved earlier through legal means, even if he had been imprisoned, he would have been released ten years ago. There would not have been the situation today. If the Zhang family knew the reason why Ye Nuan revealed his identity, how can we guarantee that they would not jump out and expose the truth in revenge?
Gu Moci didn't know the Zhang family. He didn't know that although Gu Lizhou didn't refuse the large sum of money when he met Zhang Hui for the last time, his last words to Gu Lizhou were enough to prove that he also felt guilty for what he did when he was young.
Gu Mocheng sent someone to follow the Zhang family's movements after that conversation and found out that the family sold their house and bought tickets to return home. After returning home, they bought a small villa and an apartment in the county town. Zhang Hui found a security job to pass the time, and the family lived a peaceful life.
After this decision, Gu Moci was dissatisfied with this approach but could not refute it for the time being, so he said that he would definitely return home in half a month. Gu Mocheng saw the expression on his brother's face and thought about talking to him alone later to explain the reason behind his grandfather's decision.
"Then I will go pick Ye Nuan up tomorrow." Gu Mocheng said to everyone.
"Yes, that's right, Acheng, you go pick her up. If she doesn't want to come back home for the time being, just tell her grandparents and your mother that they want to see her and come over for dinner tomorrow." Gu Lizhou was worried that Ye Nuan hadn't made up her mind yet, so he gave instructions.
Hearing that everyone agreed with this approach, Gu Muxi felt a little sad, but also relieved. She was not a jealous person. She just wanted to live the same life as before, live in the Gu family, and get along with the Gu family.
After breakfast the next day, Gu Mocheng prepared to go to the hospital to find Ye Nuan. He glanced at Gu Mochen who was standing next to Gu Muxi and asked, "Are you going?" After all, apart from Gu's father and him, only Gu Mochen had seen Ye Nuan and talked to her.
"No, big brother, I have something to do later, you go by yourself." Although he thought Ye Nuan was his sister at that time, when she really became his biological sister, Gu Mochen found it difficult to accept it.
Gu Mocheng didn't force it and drove away.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was not yet office hours, so Gu Mocheng went to the hospital restaurant first. Sure enough, he saw Ye Nuan in a corner of the restaurant, so he walked over.
Sitting opposite Ye Nuan, he saw Ye Nuan's breakfast clearly: a bowl of millet porridge, a plate of steamed buns, and a steamed bun in his hand, which was already half eaten.
Somehow, Gu Mocheng recalled the table full of food when he left home. Western, Chinese, and even French. In short, there was a breakfast that suited everyone's taste. It's no exaggeration to say that the servants at home ate much better than Ye Nuan.
"Is this all you're eating in the morning?" Gu Mocheng looked at Ye Nuan.
"Um...well, what do you want to talk to me about?" Ye Nuan swallowed the food in his mouth.
Hearing such a strange tone, Gu Mocheng's mind was filled with scenes of his younger brothers and sisters begging him to buy them gifts, and he felt a little blocked in his heart.
"Well, when we went back yesterday, my father and I told the whole family about this matter. Let me ask you, do you want to come back to the Gu family with me now?" Gu Mocheng stated his purpose.
"Is your grandfather okay?" Ye Nuan blurted out without thinking. After all, she was still confused about this matter. Gu's father and the person in front of her said that they should take care of the old man's health and not let his emotions fluctuate too much, so Ye Nuan remembered it. Gu Mocheng might think that Ye Nuan was not satisfied with their approach, but Ye Nuan said: "I'm really just asking!"
