Guess what's behind it~
Gu Yi said kindly, "Little cousin, you can come live at grandma's house. Then you can see the fountain every day."
"No, I want to live with my parents." Zou Fan was a smart kid and didn't fall for it.
They chatted and laughed as they quickly walked up the stairs. The people inside heard the noise and came out to greet them. They were very polite and seemed to attach great importance to Tian Jing's family.
Old Mrs. Gu leaned on her cane and looked at Tian Jing earnestly. She moved her mouth and called out, "Good girl."
"Mom." Tian Jing held Mrs. Gu's hand affectionately and called her Mom.
"My dear, you're back. I'm glad you're back. Come on, come in." Old Mrs. Gu's eyes moistened as she caressed the back of Tian Jing's hand, filled with emotion. The old lady's three sons and their wives also politely greeted Tian Jing's family.
Lu Tian remained calm under the gazes of everyone, and occasionally exchanged a sweet smile with Gu Er. She was different from Yu Ningxuan. Yu Ningxuan was delicate and lovely, while she was bright and beautiful. Although they were related by blood, they were strangers after all. Gu Er avoided her gaze uncomfortably.
After everyone sat down in the living room, there was another round of introductions. Old Master Gu was waiting in the living room because he was seriously ill. He was very excited when he saw Tian Jing. His own flesh and blood was replaced by someone else. He hadn't seen her for more than 40 years. How could he not feel regretful!
"I'm going to sue Mrs. Tian in court! She has such a vicious mind!" Mr. Gu said with all his might.
There was a moment of silence in the living room. Old Madam Gu hesitated and said, "She is already in her twilight years. What can she possibly compensate us for if we make too much fuss? Fortunately, Jingjing is back. Let's not worry about anything else."
Everyone present except Zou Fan understood the hidden meaning in her words. If they argued with Old Lady Tian to the end, Yu Ningxuan and her son would lose all their face!
Old Master Gu snorted, called Tian Jing and her mother and son to his front and questioned them in detail, and then presented them with a gift. He took the lead, and the others took out gifts for Tian Jing's family. Lu Tian and Zou Fan received so many red envelopes that their hands were overwhelmed, and their smiles were much more genuine than when they first arrived.
When the nanny came to invite them to dinner, they sat down in the restaurant. The big round table was specially changed so that the family could sit together and have a feeling of reunion. Lu Tian silently admired the Gu family's demeanor and etiquette, and when she looked at Tian Jing, there was a bit more warmth and emotion in her eyes. When she was a daughter in the Tian family, she did not receive family love, so she must be longing for a little warmth from her parents in her heart.
The most tedious part was during the meal. Lu Tian kept answering various questions from her grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. Half of them had seen the original owner's brain, Yu Ningxuan's engagement ceremony. At this moment, they praised her highly as if they had forgotten the awkwardness of that time. If it weren't for the impatience in the eyes of her two cousins, she would have almost believed it.
For the five brothers of the Gu family, it doesn’t matter whether their aunt is their biological daughter or not. But they have been living with their little cousin for more than 20 years with real feelings. Suddenly, a woman comes to replace their dear cousin. This woman is so arrogant that she wants to replace Yu Ningxuan. It would be strange if the five of them don’t unite to resist.
After the original owner knew her life story, she was eager to replace Yu Ningxuan, but got the opposite result, so she became even more angry and intensified her efforts to deal with Yu Ningxuan.
Lu Tian didn't want to judge who was right or wrong. If she wanted to blame someone, she should blame Old Lady Tian for her wishful thinking of swapping the daughters of the two families. She didn't care about the so-called favor of her cousin. What's the point of letting strangers get involved in her wonderful life?
"Why don't you look happy, Tiantian? Are you not used to it? Third brother, let me take you out for a walk?" Gu Shan took the initiative to suggest.
Lu Tian didn't nod, but looked at the two old people. Old Man Gu liked her very much and asked her to go out for a walk with a smile. Tian Jing looked at her with some concern, and Lu Tian gave her a reassuring smile in return.
Gu Si and Gu Wu stood up and wanted to go together. Lu Tian did not refuse and took his cell phone with him and went out with the three of them.
The evening breeze was blowing gently, and in the spacious garden, there were street lights every few meters. The four of them walked on the flat path, and no one took the initiative to speak for a while.
"Tiantian, do you have a boyfriend? Fourth brother is studying for a master's degree at Tokyo University, how come I haven't seen you before?" Gu Si spoke first, conducting a straight-man-style household survey.
Lu Tian resisted the urge to roll her eyes and said calmly, "Maybe I'm too inconspicuous, so Fourth Brother can't see it!"
The three of them looked at each other. With the way she was dressed tonight, who would dare to say she was inconspicuous?
Gu Shan cleared his throat and walked in front of Lu Tian. Thinking he looked very handsome, he walked backwards while looking at her: "Tiantian, I heard Xuanxuan say that you two have been good friends since high school?"
"Yes." Lu Tian walked to the side, and Gu Shan leaned to the side with her, not noticing anything unusual.
"Third brother, you're asking why I tricked Yu Ningxuan into revealing everything at her engagement ceremony, right?"
Why don't you follow the routine? Gu Shan's prepared conversation was immediately stuffed back into his stomach, and he smiled stiffly: "Tiantian is really smart."
"It's okay. I just understand a little bit of human nature."
Gu Shan choked and tripped over something, falling to the ground. The other two brothers were startled and then tried to hold back their laughter. Lu Tian chuckled unceremoniously, "Third brother, stop trying to look cool and look behind you."
“…”
After a strange silence, everyone walked to the pavilion and sat down. There was a faint aroma of herbs in the pavilion, probably used to drive away mosquitoes around the flowers and plants. There was a small night light in the pavilion, and it was obvious that someone had just sat here.
Lu Tian sat down on the quiet chair without hesitation and casually flipped open a book on the stone table. Inside were two carefully handled dried flowers. She wanted to pick up the flowers and take a look, but Gu Wu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly snatched the book and flowers from her hands and said sternly, "You are not allowed to touch Xuanxuan's things!"
