Chapter 65 Family Meeting
Therefore, what Gu Muruan was worried about was completely different from what her mother Gu cared about. Gu Muruan naturally didn't care whether Gu Muxi continued to stay in the Gu family. What she cared about now was the attitude of everyone in the Gu family towards her.
Before she returned to the Gu family, her conditions were not good, so she would not consider any of the glitz and glamour that she could not access, nor did she have to deal with the complicated network of relationships that she did not have. She was alone and did not have to care about other people's feelings.
But things were different now. She had to learn to repay the love her family had given her, to distinguish true love from false, to open up a little, and to get along more comfortably with everyone. In just a few months, she hadn't learned yet, but she couldn't give up. She had no other choice.
So, when Gu Muxi could directly make that request to both the Gu and Guan families, she didn't have to worry about either family rejecting her because she was confident. At least, the twenty years of daily companionship with the Gu family gave her confidence. Gu Muran was not like that. Now she had no choice but to stay in the Gu family. Knowing her identity, the Gu family would not let her go out alone.
While she tries her best to fit in into this family, she occasionally misses her life alone. Although it is hard, she doesn't think too much about it. She won't envy something if she hasn't got it, but once she has a little bit, she will become greedy.
Right now, Gu Muruan didn't know how to explain her feelings. She couldn't say, "Gu Muxi can choose both the Guan family and the Gu family. Can I also choose to stay at home only as Gu Muruan on holidays and as Ye Nuan the rest of the time?" She could only answer Gu's mother's worried question first.
"Mom, I don't mind. In fact, I want to make it clear to you that you don't have to compare me with Gu Muxi. What I mean is that you don't have to care about my feelings when you are with her. I know what you think and you are afraid that I will be unhappy when I see you being so nice to her, but I am not.
But I think you shouldn't always feel guilty when you're with me." Gu Munuan felt that it was time to clarify this issue. A big part of the reason she couldn't learn to get along with them comfortably was that she could feel their politeness towards her.
"Nuannuan, it's because mom and dad didn't view and handle this problem correctly, and they ignored your feelings. From now on, let's adjust our attitude. If there's anything that makes you uncomfortable, tell mom in time, okay?" Mother Gu did overlook this point.
She believed that Gu Murnuan had to make up for her daughter who had been working alone since she was a child when she returned to the Gu family. She was very careful when interacting with her, and she always blamed herself for not being more careful in the past. Therefore, she and her husband felt full of guilt towards Gu Murnuan, but when it came to Gu Muxi, they remained the same as before.
In other words, when Gu Muran returned to the Gu family, her parents' attitude towards any of their children did not change, except towards Gu Muran.
Now that they understood their daughter's inner thoughts, they realized that Nuannuan was their biological daughter. What happened in the past was in the past. What they should really focus on was making Gu Murnuan live happily and comfortably in this family, instead of just trying to compensate her with words or money. Doing so would only make Gu Murnuan clearly remember the fact that she was just found, and she would not be as close to them as other children.
The second son and second daughter did very well in this regard. They got along with each other in an ordinary way and did not need any special attention, which enabled them to integrate better.
"Okay, we have expressed our thoughts on this issue. Next, Gu Mochen and Gu Muyan, it's my turn to talk about you. As a family, it's better to be frank with each other." Gu Lizhou spoke.
Gu Mochen and Gu Muyan: We haven’t figured out what mom and Gu Muran meant yet, why were we called out?
"Dad, what's wrong with us?" Gu Mochen asked in a low voice.
"Before, you two were afraid that Xixi would be sad, and you couldn't accept the fact that you were not her biological daughter, so you had some opinions about Nuannuan, right?" Gu Lizhou's words were very direct. He had not cared about her before because he didn't know how to do it. He was afraid that Gu Munuan would be sad about her brother and sister's attitude, and he was also afraid that Gu Muxi would do something extreme, so he kept dragging it on.
Now that we know what Gu Muruan is thinking and Gu Muxi has her relatives, it’s time to resolve the issue.
