141: Who could the eldest brother's daughter be?

Grandpa Gu also spoke, telling Xiao Niannian to go look at the gold counter.

After declining several times, Xiao Niannian, unable to refuse further, had no choice but to go to the gold counter.

"This gold bracelet, and this one, and this gold lock, this necklace... take all of these out."

Chief Gu sent the Guard home to get two thousand yuan; he would pay for everything today.

He gave all two thousand yuan to Nanny Wang.

"Daughter, do you like these?"

Chief Gu looked at Xiao Niannian with anticipation.

Although Xiao Niannian was never short of money in her original world, after coming here, she didn't dare to spend lavishly even with money. Now, seeing Father Gu buying things for her like her parents did in her previous life, she felt an inexpressible emotion.

"Dad, just buy two items. Otherwise, I'll get angry."

Xiao Niannian knew that if she didn't say that, Father Gu would really buy her one or two thousand yuan worth of things.

"Okay, then you pick two items, one bracelet and one necklace."

Father Gu planned to secretly buy some more to take back and give them to his daughter next time he saw her.

His daughter was now twenty and almost twenty-one. He would give her a gift every year, not just gold, but also other gifts, to make up for all the missed ones.

Xiao Niannian picked one of each.

"Niannian, buy leather shoes. Look at these red leather shoes, they'll look good with your skirt..."

Grandma Gu said with a smile.

Grandma Gu now wanted to buy beautiful things for her Granddaughter whenever she saw them.

"Grandma, let's buy black leather shoes."

"Buy a pair of red ones and a pair of black ones too."

Seeing that Grandma and Dad still wanted to buy her other shoes, Xiao Niannian quickly said.

"Grandma, Dad, two pairs are enough. I still have a few pairs of my own shoes."

The Military Unit issued two pairs, and Grandma made her two pairs.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian, afraid they would continue to buy things for her, quickly said.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I want to eat roast duck."

Hearing this, Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Father Gu immediately agreed.

"Okay, we'll go to the State-run Restaurant right now."

Just as they left the department store, a stylishly dressed mother and daughter walked in, followed by several other people.

"Sister Ying, why did I just see your family's Old Master and Old Madam?"

Aunt Gu smiled when she heard her friend Yang Zhi's words.

"You said my parents came to shop at the department store? Old Master and Old Madam would never come to the department store."

Whenever her parents needed to buy something, they would send Nanny Wang and the Guard to do it. Eldest Brother and Second Brother would also go buy things.

Her parents rarely came out once a year, only showing up for weddings or similar events for families they were close with.

So she believed her parents wouldn't come to shop at any department store.

Although she was adopted by the Gu Family, her parents had been extremely good to her all these years.

There were several adopted sons, but she was the only adopted daughter. The others, though called adopted daughters, didn't have the Gu surname. Only she was the Gu Family's sole daughter.

For the past two or three years, she had been thinking of arranging a blind date between her daughter and the Lu Family's eldest Grandson, but Madam Lu had not agreed, and Eldest Sister-in-law Lu had also refused.

Although she had taken her daughter to see Madam Lu and Eldest Sister-in-law Lu several times, she still couldn't persuade them.

The Gu Family and the Lu Family had a previous marriage agreement. She was the Gu Family's only daughter, and although her daughter's surname was Ma, she was also a Gu Family Granddaughter. Even though the Ma Family and the Lu Family were quite far apart, a Gu Family Granddaughter could match the Lu Family's eldest Grandson.

"Mom, you're here?"

Ma Xue walked over happily.

Looking at her graceful daughter, Aunt Gu said.

"Later, you and Mom will go back to your Maternal Grandparents' house."

Before, she wanted her daughter to call them Grandpa and Grandma, but her parents said to call them Maternal Grandparents.

Even if she pouted, she couldn't change it.

"Okay."

Ma Xue was also very happy to hear that they were going back to her Maternal Grandparents' house.

Her Maternal Grandparents didn't like her father, so they didn't visit their house very often in a year. Her parents even wanted her to live with her Maternal Grandparents before, but they both refused.

Aunt Gu took Ma Xue back to the Compound.

Seeing Aunt Gu, the neighbors in the Compound immediately asked.

"Gu Ying, you're back."

"Xiao Ying, I heard your parents found their Granddaughter. Is she your Eldest Brother's daughter, or Second Brother's daughter? Or an adopted son's daughter?"

"Is she your Eldest Brother's daughter?"

Aunt Gu looked puzzled when she heard their words.

"What are you talking about?"

"This morning, your Eldest Brother went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast, saying it was for his daughter..."

Aunt Gu and Ma Xue were both stunned upon hearing this.

Her Eldest Brother had a daughter? And she had returned to the family??

Ma Xue was also incredibly shocked. Eldest Maternal Uncle had a daughter? That meant she was a Gu Family Granddaughter?

What about her? What would she do now?

Now she was the Gu Family's Maternal Granddaughter, but in everyone's eyes, she was the Gu Family's Granddaughter. Even though she called them Maternal Grandparents, the Gu Family only had her as a girl in the grandchild generation, and neither Eldest Maternal Uncle nor Second Maternal Uncle, who were both almost fifty, could possibly have another daughter.

Being a Gu Family Granddaughter could bring her immense benefits.

She had been flattered and fawned over by many people these days precisely because she was the Gu Family's Maternal Granddaughter.

Now someone was actually trying to steal the affection of her Maternal Grandparents?

Aunt Gu's mind was also in a turmoil after hearing these people's words. However, Eldest Brother was a very upright person and wouldn't have any illegitimate daughters. Could it be an adopted daughter?

If Eldest Brother had a daughter, she must be a legitimate Granddaughter, absolutely not an illegitimate one.

Unless someone had schemed against Eldest Brother.

Could it be the Zhang Family's adopted daughter?

Eldest Brother had been pursued by many people over the years, but the most persistent were the Jiang Family's daughter and the Zhang Family's adopted daughter. These two families had fiercely competed before.

However, the Zhang Family's adopted daughter was different.

Her Eldest Sister-in-law was a Zhang Family daughter who disappeared twenty years ago. Later, the Zhang Family also intended for their adopted daughter to marry Eldest Brother to help raise the two Nephews.

But she later found out that it wasn't Old Master Zhang and Old Madam Zhang's intention; it was just that the Zhang Family's adopted daughter liked Eldest Brother. For so many years, she had been interacting with the Gu Family under the guise of being a younger sister-in-law.

However, Old Master Zhang and Old Madam Zhang also doted on this adopted daughter.

She also had a lot of interactions with Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu had previously sent many gifts to curry favor with her, hoping she would speak well of her to her parents.

Of course, she did, but Eldest Brother simply wasn't willing. She couldn't control Eldest Brother, nor did she dare to offend him.

Zhang Fu had already been married and had a daughter, yet she still wanted to marry Eldest Brother—it was a pipe dream.

The Jiang Family daughter, who had unsuccessfully pursued Eldest Brother before, later got married.

But she heard that she divorced a few years ago.

She wondered if she was still pining for Eldest Brother.

No, none of them could enter the family legitimately.

Aunt Gu felt a bit confused. Eldest Brother's daughter, who could it be?

"Eldest Brother also raised several orphans of Comrades-in-arms; it should be one of their daughters."
