Chapter 8: Heaven will strike you down if you favor boys over girls

Gu Xixi was multitasking, eating melon and listening to a story at the same time.

The voice next to her ear suddenly stopped, and she raised her eyes to look at Gu Wanwei in confusion.

Gu Wanwei realized that her expression was inappropriate and continued to tell the story, but slowed down her speech and focused all her attention on Gu Xixi's thoughts.

[Oh! It turns out that when we were almost at the hotel, the man's fiancée was sick, so he rescheduled the date for next time.]

[Fuck, two rotten cucumbers, one has a girlfriend, the other has a fiancée! ]

[It's so disgusting, bah! ]

Gu Wanwei curled her lips and also said "Pooh".

The room suddenly became quiet.

The little girl sitting on the bed looked over and Gu Wanwei immediately explained with a smile: "The mosquito flew into my mouth, it's okay~"

There are still mosquitoes in the middle of winter?

Gu Xixi's little face still had that sweet smile as she continued to listen to Gu Wanwei's story.

Gu Wanwei wanted to hear something more, but she didn't hear anything new until the story was finished, which made her feel a little disappointed.

The little body lying on the bed was already drowsy, his head was tilted so much that it was almost touching the pillow, but he was trying hard to open his eyes wide to cooperate with her.

Gu Wanwei was immediately amused by her hard-working attitude. She gently put the little baby back into the quilt and tucked it in carefully for her.

No matter how this little niece knew those things, she had to verify it herself.

The private detective also sent a message later that her boyfriend had indeed been to the vicinity of the Huatai Hotel, but he turned back halfway and it was not certain whether his destination was the Huatai Hotel.

Tonight was the best opportunity to verify it, but unfortunately she was interrupted halfway. But it doesn’t matter. She will interact more with Xixi in the future and eat more melons. She will definitely be able to seize new opportunities!

The family reunion party was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Gu Jingyan was a man of his word and he arranged everything quickly.

The invited guests are all prominent upper-class people who have close ties with the Gu family.

The next morning, as soon as Gu Xixi got up, Gu Jingyan carried her downstairs.

"Is this... Xixi?"

Sitting on the sofa was a graceful and charming middle-aged woman. When she saw the little girl rubbing her eyes, her eyes became red.

"Well," Gu Jingyan touched Gu Xixi's head, "Xixi, call me grandma."

Gu Xixi raised her head suddenly with sleepy eyes——

[What? This is my grandma? She's so young!]

[You maintain your skin so well, is this money ability? I’m so jealous]

Cheng An, who was about to reach out to take care of Xixi, felt his hand tremble and turned his head in disbelief.

Why is there a child chattering in her head?

But there is only one little kid named Gu Xixi at home!

"Hello, grandma~" Gu Xixi put on her signature smile and stretched out her little hand.

Only then did Cheng An match the voice in his head with Gu Xixi's voice.

When she heard the sound just now, the little girl clearly didn't say anything. What did she hear?

[Wow, grandma must have been a beautiful lady when she was young. The Gu family's genes are better than one another!]

[Grandma looks very gentle, I love her~]

The sound appeared again!

But the granddaughter didn't say a word!

Could it be that she heard what her granddaughter was thinking?

Cheng An, who often prayed to gods and Buddhas on weekdays, was not surprised and fell in love with this special little granddaughter at first sight.

God must have sent Xixi to their home because he saw how pious she was.

Gu Jingyan had been secretly eavesdropping on Gu Xixi's thoughts, and when he saw that she had a good impression of her grandmother, he felt relieved.

She grew up outside, and Gu Jingyan was worried that she would not be accustomed to life at the Gu family, so she would need to spend a lot of time cultivating relationships with everyone.

Now it seems that this little kid likes this and that, so he was just worrying too much.

[Strange, where is my grandpa? I'm so curious, he must be a handsome old man too! ]

Hearing Gu Xixi's thoughts, Cheng An's expression turned unpleasant, with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Where's Dad? Is he really not coming back?" Gu Jingyan had already spoken to Grandpa Gu on the phone last night.

When the hot-tempered old man heard about the granddaughter who suddenly appeared, he was very suspicious about her identity. He also thought that she was a granddaughter and not a grandson, and he refused to come back to attend the family recognition banquet.

In the end, only Grandma Cheng An returned alone on a private plane.

"It's not like you don't understand your father's temper. Forget it. The most important thing now is to take good care of Xixi." Cheng An raised his hand and touched Gu Xixi's head. The hair, which should have been soft, looked a little dry and yellow, which was different from any other child she had held.

Cheng An, who had heard some of the past events on the phone, felt so sad that she wanted to cry, but she managed to hold back her tears with great difficulty.

"Xixi, grandma bought you a gift, do you want to come and see it?"

"Okay~ Thank you grandma~" The little kid stretched out his arms and hugged Cheng An's neck in a very familiar manner.

This made old lady Gu so happy that she spread all the gifts she got back on the carpet.

Twelve pieces, all bought by her yesterday, all given to this little kid.

A diamond-studded hairpin, a gemstone bracelet, a gold and jade longevity locket...

Gu Xixi sat in the middle, so dazzled that she didn't know which one to look at first.

[Oh my, I like gold, jade, gems, diamonds, and Wuhu. Grandma is so nice! ]

[I will definitely protect my grandma and won't let her freeze to death under the overpass! ]$$

Just as she picked up the gift and was about to show it to Gu Xixi, Mrs. Gu's hand shook and the gift fell onto the carpet.

Not only her, Gu Jingyan's heart also tightened.

What? Frozen to death under an overpass?

Seeing that the old lady's throat was sore, she really wanted to ask what was going on, but she couldn't say anything.

Heaven...the secret must not be revealed? Is the Gu family about to encounter a catastrophe?

Old Mrs. Gu sat back on the sofa, her heart beating loudly.

[Although our family is cannon fodder, but with me, Gu Xixi, I will definitely save everyone! Uh-huh! ]

Yes!

It must be because she worships Buddha and God on a daily basis that God sent this granddaughter to save the Gu family.

She had just observed that the boss's expression was very calm and he probably couldn't hear Xixi's voice.

She must have a connection with Buddha, which is why she had this special encounter.

Old Mrs. Gu's emotions were like a roller coaster. She moved towards Gu Xixi, intending to listen to more information.

【I know why Grandpa didn't come back. 】

[It turns out that he didn't believe that I was his granddaughter, and he even complained that I wasn't a boy. Tsk, God will strike you down for favoring boys over girls. ]

Mrs. Gu: …

When Gu Jingyan answered the phone last night, Mrs. Gu was next to Grandpa Gu.

Mr. Gu simply scolded Gu Jingyan and refused to come back to attend the family recognition banquet.

As for those statements about "doubting Gu Xixi's identity" and "not being a male", they were said in front of her and Gu Jingyan was not aware of it.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, her little granddaughter knew about it!

God! It's absolutely amazing!

Throughout the whole day, Grandma Gu and Gu Wanwei played with Gu Xixi whenever they found the chance, both hoping to hear something from her.

Until the morning of the family reunion party.

【Huh? Last night, the pretty aunt's boyfriend successfully made a date with someone! 】

[That person is also coming to the family recognition party tonight]

Gu Wanwei: ?????

It's getting so close to my face so soon?

Originally, Gu Wanwei had not planned to invite her ex-boyfriend to the reunion party, but after hearing what Gu Xixi said, she sent a message on the spur of the moment, asking him to prepare to come over in the afternoon.
