132: The eldest daughter-in-law disappeared twenty years ago.
Soon, she saw Lu Jing drive the car to the entrance of a Military Region Compound. A sentry walked up and stopped them.
Lu Jing took out his identification.
After seeing Lu Jing's identification, the sentry immediately saluted.
Lu Jing returned a military salute.
The sentry glanced at Xiao Niannian's identification again and looked at Xiao Niannian.
“Battalion Commander Lu, please come in.”
“Thank you.”
Lu Jing started the car and drove inside.
Xiao Niannian noticed that Lu Jing was very familiar with the place; he didn't need to ask for directions at all. He drove straight in, and after a few minutes, stopped in front of a small red-brick Western-style house.
“We're here.”
The courtyard gate was slightly ajar. Hearing the sound of the car, a middle-aged auntie quickly walked in.
“Comrade Lu is here.”
Seeing Lu Jing, the middle-aged auntie was very enthusiastic.
“Is this Female Comrade your partner?”
“She is Xiao Niannian.”
Lu Jing said.
Xiao Niannian had originally wanted to deny it, but hearing Lu Jing's introduction, she didn't say anything more.
“Comrade Lu, I'll open the courtyard gate completely right away. You can park the car inside the courtyard.”
“Okay.”
The auntie opened the courtyard gate completely, and Lu Jing drove the car in.
Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian got out of the car.
Seeing them get out with their things, the auntie immediately stepped forward to greet them.
“Old Master, Old Madam, Comrade Lu and Comrade Xiao are here.”
Old Chief Gu and Old Madam Gu heard the sound and both walked towards the door.
“Old Chief, Old Madam.”
Lu Jing saluted the two elders, and Xiao Niannian also saluted them.
Old Master Gu nodded with a smile.
“You've arrived.”
Old Madam Gu looked at Xiao Niannian and said with a chuckle.
“You must be Niannian. Your Grandpa Gu has praised you many times. You're truly a beautiful child...”
Old Madam Gu looked at Xiao Niannian and suddenly felt that Xiao Niannian looked somewhat familiar.
But for a moment, she couldn't remember where she had seen her.
The Old Man had also said before that Niannian looked somewhat familiar and felt very close. She had the same feeling.
“Quick, sit down.”
Old Madam Gu reached out and held Xiao Niannian's hand, scrutinizing Xiao Niannian.
Xiao Niannian looked at Old Madam Gu's warm and kind demeanor and immediately thought of Grandma Xiao.
Grandma was also like Old Madam Gu, extremely kind.
“I heard your Grandpa Gu praise you before, saying that you saved many people on the train. That's truly excellent. Grandma liked you the moment she saw you...”
Old Master Gu listened to his wife's words, then looked at Lu Jing, sizing him up for a few moments before speaking.
“Kid Jing, you all completed this mission very well. I heard you have three days off. Aren't you going back to the Lu Family?”
Hearing Old Master Gu's words, Lu Jing nodded.
“I'll go back to the Lu Family tomorrow.”
“Hmm, what about Niannian?”
Lu Jing understood Old Master Gu's meaning and replied.
“She will stay at the Military Region Guesthouse.”
Old Master Gu heard this and looked at Lu Jing with disdain.
It's been half a year, has this kid made no progress at all? How embarrassing. He remembered when he met his wife, he confessed within a few days, and after chasing her for over a month, although she didn't agree, everyone else stayed far away from her.
Later, he finally won the beauty's heart.
Today, he invited Niannian and Kid Lu for two reasons: one was a bit of gossip, wanting to set up these two excellent children; the second was a genuine desire to invite them to sit at his home.
His Grandsons and maternal Grandsons were usually out, so it was just him and his wife at home.
Kid Lu was extremely outstanding; he used to be very jealous of Old Man Lu.
He had originally thought that if he had a Granddaughter, he would marry her to Kid Lu. Who knew, he waited and waited, but never got one.
As for his Maternal Granddaughter, Old Master Gu frowned slightly.
He and his wife had no daughters, but they adopted the orphan of a Comrade-in-arms. However, this daughter didn't listen to them and insisted on marrying someone they didn't approve of.
Over the years, his son-in-law Ma Jin had been good to his daughter, but their Maternal Granddaughter had been spoiled beyond recognition.
They had reprimanded her before, and for the past year, she hadn't visited much.
His two biological sons: the eldest had been alone for so many years. The Eldest Daughter-in-law disappeared twenty years ago, and their two Grandsons were raised by them. For all these years, the eldest son hadn't remarried.
The second son and his wife had a good relationship and three sons.
Old Master Gu looked at Xiao Niannian, and for some reason, he felt that this child bore some resemblance to his Eldest Sons Wife.
Could she be a relative of his Eldest Sons Wife?
He had sent people to investigate Xiao Niannian and knew that Xiao Niannian had been abandoned. But whose child Xiao Niannian was, was unknown.
In those years, the country was still a bit chaotic, and many things were difficult to investigate thoroughly.
However, no matter whose child Xiao Niannian was, it was excellent that Sister-in-law Xiao had taken her in, and she also had an Adoptive Father like Xiao Zhan.
Old Madam Gu looked at Xiao Niannian and smiled, asking many questions.
Xiao Niannian's attitude towards this kind Old Madam was also very respectful.
“I really like you, child.”
Old Madam Gu got up, entered the room, and then came out again.
She took out a jade bracelet and put it on Xiao Niannian.
“This was prepared by Grandma Gu for her Granddaughter, but Grandma Gu has never had a Granddaughter all these years, so this is for you, Niannian.”
“Grandma Gu, this is too valuable, I can't accept it.”
Xiao Niannian looked at the jade bracelet; the quality of the jade seemed like Imperial Green. This bracelet was too valuable; in a few more years, it wouldn't be something that could be bought for tens or hundreds of thousands. In her original world, this bracelet would cost tens of millions of yuan.
This Grandma Gu was too kind to her.
“If Grandma Gu gives it to you, just accept it,” Old Master Gu said with a chuckle.
“This truly was something we prepared for a Granddaughter, but we never had one. Now that we see you, your Grandma Gu likes you. Grandpa Gu already showed your photo to your Grandma Gu before...”
Xiao Niannian declined several times but couldn't refuse.
This item was truly too valuable. Although she had bought a pair of liquor and a bag of apples, she couldn't accept such a valuable gift.
“Child, don't you like Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu? Then Grandma Gu will be sad...”
Grandma Gu genuinely liked Xiao Niannian, feeling that this child, alone, could achieve so much and be so outstanding.
Xiao Niannian was the adopted Granddaughter of the Xiao Family, but she could also become the Granddaughter of their Gu Family.
At that time, if Lu Jing really wanted to marry Xiao Niannian, it could become a beautiful story, and their Gu Family could support Xiao Niannian.
The Old Man had always wanted to set up Niannian and Kid Lu.
Seeing Grandma Gu looking somewhat sad, Xiao Niannian had no choice but to accept it.
“Thank you, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.”
“You're welcome. From now on, treat this place as your home. When you come to the Capital City, call Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu...”
Lu Jing listened to them talk, feeling very puzzled himself.
