140: Xiao Niannian can only be his.

Grandma Gu saw Lu Jing smiling brightly.

“Kid Lu, what are you doing here?”

Grandpa Gu asked in a calm tone.

“I made plans with Niannian yesterday to come to the department store to buy some gifts for people.”

What?

Since when did Lu Jing make plans with my daughter?

Chief Gu's expression immediately turned serious.

Seeing Father Gu's gaze, Xiao Niannian nodded.

“Brother Lu and I agreed to come shopping.”

Lu Jing had helped her so much and given her so many coupons; she felt grateful to Lu Jing in her heart.

Hearing his daughter's words, Chief Gu felt nervous. Could it be that they were already dating?

Chief Gu wanted to talk about it, but he had only acknowledged her as his daughter yesterday. If he brought up her dating life today, what if his daughter got angry and ignored him?

“Niannian, what do you think of this fabric?”

Grandma Gu asked Xiao Niannian.

Xiao Niannian saw that it was a piece of floral fabric.

“It would look good made into a Blouse Dress.”

What Grandma Gu wanted most now was to make more dresses for her Granddaughter.

If she could have met Niannian when she was little, she would have made many dresses and dressed her Granddaughter beautifully every day.

The fabrics in the storeroom have been there for so many years; they should be kept for now and not brought out temporarily.

She should buy more fabric here to take back.

Lu Jing's gaze landed on Xiao Niannian. In fact, from the moment Niannian walked in, she was the only one in his eyes.

The red dress she wore made it impossible for him to see anyone else.

She was truly too beautiful; he didn't know how to describe this beauty in words.

It made Niannian's skin even fairer, like a beauty stepping out of a painting.

Lu Jing knew Niannian was pretty, but he didn't realize Niannian was so stunning. He suddenly had the urge to hide Niannian's beauty, but he also knew that was impossible.

She wasn't a dodder flower who would depend on anyone; she could carve out a world for herself.

If Niannian had been born in the Compound, she would definitely have been the most outstanding child there.

Now, with the Gu Family as her backing, Niannian's weaknesses had been covered.

Families like the Xu Family weren't even fit to carry Niannian's shoes.

Lu Jing was secretly glad that Xu Yang had been blind, otherwise, he would have had to find a way to win Niannian back.

If Xu Yang and the Xu Family knew what a treasure they had lost, they would surely regret it immensely.

Now, the Xu Family had no chance left.

He would absolutely not give anyone else a chance to charm Niannian away.

Xiao Niannian could only be his.

Chief Gu saw Lu Jing looking at his daughter, and only then did he notice that Lu Jing was wearing a suit today.

Why wear a suit in such hot weather?

The material of this black suit was excellent, and it made Lu Jing look even more handsome; with those long legs and that demeanor.

Could this Kid Lu Jing be trying to use a honey trap?

Just like Lu Jing's father, shameless... Chief Gu cursed inwardly.

Lu Jing noticed Chief Gu's expression, and his gaze shifted to Xiao Niannian's reaction. He had specifically brought this suit back when he returned to the Capital City, originally thinking that if he got a few days off, he would take Niannian to visit some scenic spots in the Capital City and try Quanjude Roast Duck.

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Gu invited Niannian to be a guest at the Gu Family home, and even recognized Niannian as his Granddaughter.

Uncle Gu also eagerly claimed Niannian as his daughter.

After he returned yesterday, he called his friend Song Chuan. He asked him to send more people to continue investigating Niannian's background. If she was truly related to Aunt Gu, that would be wonderful.

If not, it didn't matter either.

He just wanted to help Niannian find her biological parents.

He would work hard to court Niannian and marry her.

His family would not object.

His Grandparents wouldn't, and his parents wouldn't either. He was the master of his own affairs.

Xiao Niannian saw Lu Jing wearing the suit her Grandma had made. She blinked. Wasn't it a bit hot wearing such a thick suit in this weather?

“Lu Jing, why are you wearing such a thick suit in the middle of summer?”

“This is fabric Niannian bought, and Grandma Xiao made it. They gave it to me.”

Hearing Lu Jing's boastful words, Chief Gu grew jealous.

He hadn't received a gift from his daughter yet, but Lu Jing had received fabric bought by his daughter? This fabric must cost dozens, maybe even hundreds of yuan, right?

This kid actually let his daughter spend so much money.

How dare Lu Jing? Why would his daughter buy fabric to make clothes for Lu Jing? Could it be that they... Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu exchanged glances.

They were already suspicious of the relationship between Lu Jing and Niannian yesterday. But for Niannian to give such a huge gift to Lu Jing, could it be that they liked each other? Otherwise, Niannian wouldn't have paid for such nice clothing, and Sister-in-law Xiao wouldn't have specially made it into a suit to give to Lu Jing.

Grandpa Gu already liked Lu Jing as a junior. In the past, the Gu and Lu families had always considered arranging a childhood engagement, but both families only had sons back then, and their adopted daughters didn't feel mutual affection, so it remained a regret.

Among the younger generation, the Grandsons of the Lu Family and the Grandsons of the Gu Family were all excellent.

If Lu Jing and Niannian truly got together, then their two families would genuinely make up for this regret.

“It was fabric I bought, and Grandma made it into clothes to give to Brother Lu.”

Xiao Niannian usually called Lu Jing “Captain Lu” in front of outsiders, but “Brother Lu” in front of Grandma.

Lu Jing had told her twice before to call him Captain Lu in front of outsiders and Brother Lu in front of family. So she changed her address.

The Sales Clerk saw the Gu Family members and Xiao Niannian and realized they weren't ordinary people. Seeing the two comrades in military uniforms behind them, with their serious expressions, her attitude became even more enthusiastic.

“Old Comrade, are you looking to buy fabric? We have hundreds of styles here, and these are for making summer dresses...”

“comrade, we need five meters of this fabric, and this one, and this one, and this one...”

Grandma Gu requested six types of fabric, all of excellent quality and quite expensive.

“Alright, Old Comrade.”

Nanny Wang stepped forward to pay.

“Niannian, come with Grandma to look over here.”

The family had many tonics, and Grandma Gu planned to mail some to Sister-in-law Xiao.

Chief Gu saw a gold counter not far away and spoke up.

“Daughter, let's go look at the gold.”

Hearing Father Gu mention gold, Xiao Niannian suddenly remembered that in the second half of this year, the Dollar would decouple from gold, causing the price of gold to soar.

It seemed like it was starting right now.

The price was still around 2.8 yuan, but it would soon rise crazily, increasing more than twentyfold over the next decade.

“Dad, don't buy gold.”

“Dad brought money today, we must buy gold.”

Father Gu patted his pocket and said, hearing his daughter's words.

“Everything other daughters have, my daughter must have too.”

Xiao Niannian felt touched hearing these words.

“Your dad is right, let's go look at the gold.”

Grandma Gu said.

The Gu Family's Granddaughter must have everything others possess.

Grandma Gu remembered the jadeite rough stones she had collected previously and planned to select some to cut and give to her Granddaughter.
