Chapter 62 Brother's Concern
The Guan family's homecoming banquet was grand. Even though it was held in S City, anything involving the Gu family would be a big deal.
Gu Muruan did not attend. The night before, in the Gu family living room:
Gu Moci told her: "If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, I'll take you to the concert. Nuannuan, at home, don't care about what anyone thinks. The most important thing is to be happy. Try to be a relaxed child."
"...I'm not a child anymore." Gu Muran retorted in a low voice.
"Okay, then, big friend, do you want me to take you to the concert?" Gu Moci looked at his sister who was wearing jeans, a sweatshirt and a ponytail. No one would have any objection if he said she was a high school student.
"What concert?" Gu Muruan asked.
"Pei Yan's favorite, JE, is going to have a concert here tomorrow night. He grabbed a row of tickets, but no one else has time. It's just right, let's go and get some tickets." Gu Moci took out his mobile phone and showed Gu Muran the chat interface with Pei Yan.
"Pei Yan is...?" Gu Muran couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.
"Nuannuan, don't you remember who Pei Yan is?" Gu Mocheng, who was passing by, teased with a smile. "Tsk tsk, if that kid knew you didn't remember him, he would start acting again."
"?" Gu Muran was puzzled.
"The one at the last banquet when you were holding the Pikachu doll that Gu Jingnian gave you." Gu Mocheng helped Gu Muran recall.
"Oh, I remember now." Gu Munuan recalled the yellow Pikachu in her room that was taller than her. At her homecoming party, a conspicuous figure was holding little Gu Jingnian in one hand and a doll in the other, much to everyone's amusement. Gu Munuan thought he was quite amusing at the time, but there were so many people that night, and so many elders waiting for her to remember him, that she didn't remember his name clearly. However, she did remember that Pei Yan was a cheerful and handsome boy.
"He is the grandson of Grandpa Pei. He is a computer genius and is now the technical manager of Gu's company. Nuannuan, he was the one who checked your previous school experiences." Gu Mocheng continued.
“…” No wonder, one day Gu Muruan received a text message on her mobile phone saying that her student loan had been paid off in one lump sum. Although she later learned that it was Gu Mocheng who helped her pay it off, she had always forgotten to ask him how he knew so clearly. Now, the mystery was finally solved.
"What's wrong? What happened to Pei Yan?" Gu Mocheng looked at Gu Moci.
"Nothing, I just took Nuannuan to get tickets for his concert." Gu Moci seemed to be very free these two days.
"Okay, tomorrow is Friday, let's relax. Mom might drag Nuannuan to the mall again on the weekend." Gu Mocheng touched Gu Muruan's head.
"Is it okay if my second brother doesn't go tomorrow?" Gu Muruan asked.
Both brothers knew that Gu Muran was asking about the Guan family's homecoming banquet.
"It's okay. As long as dad and big brother are here, Nuannuan, you should tell me what you want to do and what you don't want to do in the future. Mom, Dad and big brother will respect your ideas about what you want to do. Don't worry and don't think too much. Being happy is the most important thing." Gu Mocheng said.
Gu Muruan: In just a few minutes, the two brothers said almost the same thing to her. It turned out that they had been paying attention to her emotions.
In fact, since Gu Moci returned to China, Gu Mocheng has been busy at the company, and Gu Munuan hasn't spent much time with her big brother Gu Mocheng. She even keeps thinking about the time she spent with Gu Mocheng as Ye Nuan. But today, she discovered that her big brother has also been paying attention to her. She really doesn't want to go to the Guan family's homecoming banquet for Gu Muxi because she's afraid.
These days, she heard some rumors about her and Gu Muxi.
Last week, she accompanied Gu Muwan to the mall. When she went to the bathroom, she heard, "The two children of the Gu family have such different fates. They are both genuine daughters of a wealthy family. One has lived a glamorous life as a daughter of a wealthy family for the past twenty years, but the other one wears ordinary clothes and is just a doctor transferred from the county. Have you heard? It seems that the real daughter even picked up rags when she was a child."
"Hush, are you crazy? Where did you hear this? Even though she was just found, the Gu family cherishes her very much. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives hear this. Or else your family's inheritance will be lost."
"After all, he's my biological son, how could he be any worse? Besides, what I heard came from inside the Gu family."
Gu Muran stiffened at these words. The gossip that the nurse, Zhou Tian, had shared with her when she first arrived in S City must have spread in this way. It turned out that she, too, would one day become the subject of gossip. But she pretended not to hear and, after leaving, went out to help Gu Muwan get her things as if nothing had happened. However, when she was alone, she kept thinking about these words.
Therefore, she was afraid of hearing similar criticism again. Although her past experiences did not make her feel ashamed, she still felt uncomfortable and would repeatedly pull at her inferiority complex.
But now, she might not be the only one who heard these words. The words of her two brothers also gave her great comfort. Perhaps, she should be more confident and relaxed to face the new life in the future.
