133: Are you my daughter?

Xiao Niannian looked at the bracelet on her hand; it was exactly her size.

It's truly beautiful.

The original owner had previously dug up ginseng in the mountains. She had kept one root for Grandma, and now she would give this one to Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu. Although this ginseng was not as valuable as the bracelet, it was her sincerity.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xiao Niannian slipped a box from her Spatial Dimension into the bag.

"Good child, Grandma truly likes you."

Just as they were talking, footsteps sounded at the door.

Xiao Niannian saw a very charismatic and handsome middle-aged uncle walk in.

"Dad, Mom."

"Hello, Chief."

Lu Jing immediately stood up.

Xiao Niannian also quickly stood up and saluted the middle-aged uncle.

"Hello, Chief."

Gu Qi looked sternly at Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian, but when his gaze landed on Xiao Niannian's face, he froze.

How does this little girl look somewhat similar to his wife?

Chief Gu felt a pang of heartache thinking of his wife.

"Eldest Son, why are you spacing out?"

Old Madam Gu asked with a smile.

Chief Gu snapped back to reality and spoke.

"Please sit."

After Chief Gu sat down, he still couldn't help but look at Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian noticed Chief Gu's gaze. She felt puzzled; she had seen Chief Gu freeze in surprise when he first saw her. And Chief Gu was still looking at her now, seemingly shocked, as if he had seen an old friend.

Could it be that Chief Gu knew the original owner's parents?

Otherwise, why would he look at her like that?

If Chief Gu truly knew the original owner's parents, that would be excellent.

Xiao Niannian not only wanted to find her Adoptive Mother and Older Brothers but also considered helping the original owner find her biological parents.

"Why did you come back today?"

"I originally had a meeting, but it was canceled, so I thought I'd come back to eat with you and Mom."

Hearing the Eldest Son's words, Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu were very happy.

"Kid Lu and Niannian came over as guests today. You came back at just the right time."

Chief Gu had watched Lu Jing grow up, but this was the first time he had seen Xiao Niannian or heard her name.

"Niannian, where are you from?"

Chief Gu's heart stirred, and he asked. The name he and his wife had discussed for their daughter back then was also Niannian.

"Responding to Chief Gu, I am from Wang County, Xiang Province."

Someone from Wang County, Xiang Province?

Chief Gu's heart leaped with joy upon hearing this.

His wife had gone missing in Xiang Province back then. And when she disappeared, she was pregnant.

"Who are the people in your family?"

Hearing this, Old Master Gu frowned.

"Eldest Son, Niannian is the Granddaughter your mother and I recognized. Don't interrogate her like you're checking household registration..."

Hearing this, Chief Gu immediately explained.

"Niannian, Uncle is just..."

Chief Gu said a few words before realizing what his father had said.

Recognized Granddaughter?

Could it be that Dad and Mom found his wife and child?

"Are you my daughter?"

Chief Gu looked at Xiao Niannian excitedly.

Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"You misunderstood."

Old Madam Gu also said with a smile.

"Eldest Son, your father and I like Niannian, so we wanted to recognize her as our Granddaughter..."

Xiao Niannian hadn't expected Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu to like her so much. And did this Chief Gu have a missing daughter?

There seemed to be a story here.

Old Madam Gu looked at Xiao Niannian and said with a smile.

"Niannian, I'm sorry we didn't ask for your opinion first. Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu truly like you very much."

When the old man returned, he had mentioned that if the Eldest Sons Wife's child had been born, she would probably look like Niannian.

However, despite searching for so many years, they hadn't found any clues, nor had they found the Eldest Sons Wife and the child.

Lu Jing knew that Old Master Gu liked Niannian very much, but he hadn't expected Grandma Gu to like her this much too.

Thinking about Chief Gu's situation, Lu Jing could understand.

The Gu Family had no Granddaughters, so Grandma Gu and the others loved seeing the other girls in the Compound.

"We wonder if you're willing to recognize us two old folks..."

Looking at the expectant eyes of Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu, Xiao Niannian couldn't bring herself to refuse.

"Okay."

She wasn't trying to cling to the powerful, but she could see the genuine affection and sincerity that Old Chief Gu and Grandma Gu held for her.

So she agreed.

"You agreed? That's wonderful." Tears welled up in Old Madam Gu's eyes.

Over the years, many people had tried to send girls over to become their adopted Granddaughters, but they had never agreed.

Xiao Niannian was the child whom the couple had instantly loved and wanted to get to know better the moment they saw her.

Perhaps this was their destiny.

"Hello, Grandparents."

Chief Gu said joyfully upon hearing this.

"Niannian, I, your Uncle, will adopt you as my daughter, and then you will be Dad and Mom's legitimate Granddaughter..."

Huh?

Chief Gu adopting her as his daughter?

Xiao Niannian looked at Chief Gu in surprise.

This was the first time she had met Chief Gu, right?

Old Chief Gu chuckled upon hearing this.

"Niannian, he's right. You are our Granddaughter. We have three sons and one daughter, and the Eldest Son doesn't have a daughter. If you become his daughter, you'll be our Granddaughter..."

Xiao Niannian was confused. Could it be because of the System that she was so likable?

But that wasn't right; a small number of people really disliked her.

"Niannian, are you willing?"

Chief Gu looked at Xiao Niannian with an expectant expression.

For some reason, Xiao Niannian felt a pang in her chest. Looking at his expectant eyes, Xiao Niannian softened.

She had never felt this way normally. Could it be a feeling left behind by the original owner?

Xiao Niannian's eyes met Lu Jing's, and she saw Lu Jing also looking at her expectantly.

Why was Lu Jing looking at her so expectantly?

"I am willing."

Hearing this, Chief Gu's eyes welled up with tears, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Daughter, let's introduce ourselves. My name is Gu Qi, I am forty-eight years old this year, and I currently hold a position in the Capital City Military Region..."

Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu exchanged glances.

They hadn't expected things to turn out like this.

Could the Eldest Son really have misunderstood?

But they had clearly explained it.

Could it be? Was that possibility real?

The old couple exchanged glances. Old Master Gu nodded toward Old Madam Gu, deciding that he would send someone to investigate Xiao Niannian's background again.

The Eldest Son was usually a reserved person; he would never lose his composure like this upon seeing a stranger.

They had previously thought Niannian looked familiar and felt very close to her. Now that they thought about it, she did bear some resemblance to the Eldest Daughter-in-law.

If it were true... that would be wonderful.

If not, they would still treat Niannian like their biological Granddaughter.

This child has endured too much suffering over the years.
