Chapter 21 Different Meanings of "Living Well"
"Mom, where are Xixi, Achen and Xiaoyan?" Gu Mocheng frowned slightly.
"Oh, Xixi's studio has an important meeting today, so Ah Chen and Xiao Yan drove Xixi there," Gu's mother explained. This explanation didn't cause Ye Nuan any emotional fluctuations. After all, she just wanted to see her biological parents and grandparents today. As for other people, if they accepted her presence, she could greet them in a friendly manner. If they didn't, she wouldn't be sad. After all, such emotions were unfamiliar to her.
Father Gu asked Ye Nuan to say hello to Old Man Gu. Old Man Gu looked at Ye Nuan's face and said, "Okay, okay, it's good that you're back. Child, it's the Gu family that's wronged you. In the future, Grandpa will definitely make it up to you."
Ye Nuan didn't feel anyone had wronged her, because she knew: she wasn't abandoned by her family. The Gu family had been unaware of her existence for 25 years. With so many children in the Gu family, each was treated equally and was incredibly pampered. Therefore, if she hadn't been swapped, she would still be loved by her family. She wasn't born unloved, she wasn't a child who would bring misfortune to others, and she wasn't destined to live a lonely life.
Ye Nuan felt that this was enough for her. The most difficult stage had passed. Now she was an adult and could live independently. Therefore, looking back at home meant that she knew she had a family and was familiar with them, instead of longing for the shelter of home like she did when she was a child.
After Ye Nuan got to know the members of the Gu family present, she was pulled aside by Gu's mother and grandmother to chat for a long time. They did not ask Ye Nuan to change the name immediately, thinking that she would not be able to say it for a while. Ye Nuan's worry was in vain. She checked other family recognition processes: both sides cried heart-wrenchingly, and shouted "Mom and Dad" on the spot... After watching it, there was a period of silence.
The question that Gu's mother asked Ye Nuan the most was: "How have you taken care of yourself these years?" The words that Ye Nuan answered most often were: "I'm doing well." She really felt that being able to get into a good university and find a good job would be great not only for her, but also for children from ordinary families. Ye Nuan looked at the doubtful and distressed eyes of Gu's mother and Mrs. Gu looking at her, and she didn't understand: Isn't it good? Regardless of the process, the result is good, and she can live freely now. But it wasn't until lunch time, when she saw the Gu family's dining table filled with many dishes that she had never seen, let alone eaten, that she realized that the "living well" she said might not be what the Gu family meant in their hearts...
As Gu's mother dragged her toward the dining table, three people entered through the main entrance. Ye Nuan recognized two of them: Gu Mochen, whom she had met at the high-speed rail station, and Gu Muxi, whom she had met at the hospital. As for the pretty girl to Gu Muxi's right, she must be the Gu family's youngest daughter, Gu Muyan. Gu Muxi and Gu Muyan froze in shock at Ye Nuan's appearance. If Gu Muwan hadn't been standing nearby, and the clothes she was wearing weren't Gu Muwan's style, they would have mistaken her for someone else.
"Nuannuan, these three are your younger brothers and sisters. Achen said he met you before. The one in the middle is Xixi, you should know her. Your eldest brother said that the doctor who reattached his arm in the hospital last time was you. The one in the pink sweater dress is Xiaoyan. You three, why don't you come and say hello to Nuannuan?" Mother Gu stood beside Ye Nuan and introduced them.
