Chapter 46 Make It Clear
After they finished eating hot pot, Han Xu and Ji Jinzhou left together, while Gu Moci took Gu Muwan and Ye Nuan back to the Gu family mansion.
What Ye Nuan didn't expect was that when she returned home this time, she would actually have to face many things that she had previously avoided.
Entering the living room, Ye Nuan noticed that everyone who was supposed to be taking a lunch break was sitting at a long table nearby, seemingly preparing for a meeting. Gu Mocheng, who had been on a business trip, had returned at some point, and for the first time, all the members of the Gu family were gathered together.
"Nuannuan, Xiaoxi, our whole family is here today. We all know why. Nuannuan has been back for more than a month. It's time to make some specific things clear." Gu Lizhou, Gu's father who was sitting next to Grandpa Gu, spoke first. As the current person in charge of the Gu family, he should be in charge of the overall situation.
Gu Muxi was stunned for a moment, then regained composure and nodded. Ye Nuan, on the other hand, remained calm. She had no idea what the "specific matters" were, so she just listened.
"First of all, Nuannuan was stolen and replaced that year, and that person also confessed some things. Xixi, your biological mother should be called Guan Yue, and she passed away after giving birth to you, but she should have an older brother or younger brother named "Guan Yi". If you want, we can send someone to find your original family." Father Gu first said to Gu Muxi.
Although Gu Muxi was mentally prepared, she had thought that the Gu family would look for her original family and might even send her away, but when Gu's father really said these words, she couldn't help but shed tears. But from what Gu's father said, he respected her idea very much. If she was willing, they would look for her, but what if she didn't want to?
"Dad, I...I don't want to leave you." Gu Muxi looked at her father with red eyes.
"Dad, my sister has lived with us since she was a child. You have always treated her as your own daughter. If you find her relatives who are only related by blood, can you really bear to send her away?" Gu Muyan hugged Gu Muxi and said.
"Xiao Yan, shut up," Gu Mocheng scolded. He knew the two of them had a deep bond, but with Ye Nuan here, wouldn't she feel bad hearing this? Then, he looked at Ye Nuan, who was sitting between Gu Moci and Gu Muwan. Seeing that her expression remained calm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Forget it, Xixi, we don't want to chase you away. It's just that, have you ever thought about what you would do if your relatives found you? We always have to consider all aspects." Grandpa Gu looked at his granddaughter whom he raised from childhood, and naturally he would not see her sad, but he had to explain clearly all the possible things that might happen.
"Grandpa and grandma, mom and dad, I really don't want to leave you. They haven't looked for me for so many years. What's the point of finding me now?" As soon as Gu Muxi finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Gu's father, Gu Mocheng: Tsk tsk, listening to these words, why do I feel a little uncomfortable? I feel the connotation.
Ye Nuan: Well, actually I think so too.
However, there are also people who are a little bit stupid. "What's the big deal? My sister has never lived with her so-called relatives since she was a child. Even if she finds them, she won't have any feelings for them. If they want money, just give it to them. Anyway, my sister will definitely not be used to living with them, and it will be quite embarrassing." Gu Muyan is worthy of being the youngest daughter of the Gu family. She is spoiled and speaks without considering the consequences.
"Gu Muyan, shut up from now on." Gu Moci said in a somewhat harsh tone.
Gu Muyan, who had not spent much time with her second brother, was a little scared, but also felt wronged, and her eyes instantly turned red.
Ye Nuan, standing by, said, "Dear Miss Gu, is it possible that my hearing is quite good? I'm a little embarrassed when you say that!"
Gu Mochen poked Gu Muyan with his arm and looked in Ye Nuan's direction. Only then did she realize that she had said the wrong thing.
Gu Moci couldn't stand such a slow pace anymore, so he said directly: "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, Nuannuan's homecoming banquet should be put on the agenda."
The elders nodded, signaling Gu Moci to continue.
"Before the reunion banquet, we need to change Nuannuan's last name. The explanation to the public is that she was taken away by mistake when she was born. Muxi's family has not been found yet, so she will continue to stay in the Gu family as an adopted daughter or your goddaughter.
As for the engagement with the Si family, it remains unchanged. After all, it was a decision made by Mu Xi and Si Yan, not forced by the two parents, so there is no need to involve Nuan Nuan.
I will have people look for Mu Xi's relatives. As for what to do if we find them, as Grandpa said, it's not just us who have the final say. It also depends on the attitude of that family."
The engagement with the Si family was actually a joke between the two old men, but 15-year-old Gu Muxi and 17-year-old Si Yan had feelings for each other. Although the parents of both families thought that premature love was not a good thing, they still agreed that if the two really got together after four years, the engagement would be valid.
As for the incident of drugging Ji Jinze, it was a misunderstanding between Gu Muxi and Si Yan: one time, Gu Muxi secretly went to Si Yan's university apartment to hide a surprise he had prepared, but he saw a "woman with disheveled hair" appear in Si Yan's bedroom, who was sleeping soundly, and he could vaguely hear the sound of running water in the bathroom.
Gu Muxi left angrily and returned home, where she happened to meet Ji Jinze who came to look for Gu Moci. She thought of taking advantage of Ji Jinze's doting on her, secretly knocking him out, dragging him to her bedroom and filming him for Si Yan to see. Anyway, Ji Jinze was famous for his good temper and should not blame her.
But when she was unbuttoning Ji Jinze's shirt, the last step before the photo shoot, Gu Moci, who had heard about it from the babysitter who had accidentally witnessed the whole process, opened the door with his key and came in... Later, Si Yan heard about this and was amused and annoyed. He patiently explained that the people who were in his apartment that day were his roommate's brother and sister-in-law. They had been in some trouble, so Si Yan lent them his apartment, which he didn't usually use, for a month. After the reconciliation, their relationship became more and more stable, so they had no direct contact with the elders of the Si and Gu families.
"Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I have no objection. Xixi, if you don't look for your relatives, it would be unfair to Nuannuan. Although it wasn't your fault that she was replaced, compared to you, Nuannuan has suffered too much over the years. We missed out on more than 20 years of her life. We not only owe her a debt, but also feel heartbroken.
So, what we're doing now isn't making amends, but rather what's right. Even if you hadn't been switched, and your biological mother had died, leaving you alone in the hospital, your parents would have taken you home. Now you'd be an adopted daughter or goddaughter. Xixi, when you find your family, you'll understand how much you're reluctant to part with them, and how much they're reluctant to part with you.
