276: It must be a fake.

Chief Gu looked at Xiao Niannian and spoke.

"Niannian, it's Dad's fault. I didn't manage them well and let you suffer..."

"Dad, thank you for protecting me so much."

Xiao Niannian smiled as she looked at Chief Gu.

Lu Jing's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Niannian. When he heard them curse Niannian as a 'little slut' and 'stinky girl' just now, his hands clenched into fists. If Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Uncle Gu hadn't stepped in, he would have acted himself.

"Sister-in-law Xiao, I'll take you to see your room..."

Grandma Xiao followed Grandma Gu towards the adjacent room.

"Niannian, Dad is going to cook for you. Lu Jing, you come with me."

"Okay."

Lu Jing heard Uncle Gu's words and saw him staring intently at him, so he immediately agreed.

Old Chief Gu, meanwhile, brought out a few dishes and sat on the sofa, preparing the vegetables.

"Niannian, that was your Aunt Gu Ying just now. She's an adopted child of your Grandparents. Your Grandparents adopted several children back then... Her parents both died, and she changed her surname herself..."

Old Chief Gu explained Gu Ying's situation to his Granddaughter.

"Over the years, after your aunt married Ma Jin, she listened to his words and did many foolish things..."

Xiao Niannian understood what kind of person Gu Ying was after hearing her Grandpa's words.

Because her Grandparents had no daughters and adopted so many children, and Gu Ying changed her surname to Gu, even though she wasn't officially registered in the Gu Family household, she did grow up by her Grandparents' side for several years.

After Gu Ying grew up, she became obsessed with love, wholeheartedly supporting Ma Jin, trying every possible way to help him get promoted. However, her Grandparents were principled people, and her Dad and Second Uncle were also very principled, so Ma Jin didn't benefit much... What about Zhang Fu?

"Grandpa, what about Zhang Fu? Why does she call herself my Little Aunt?"

Xiao Niannian asked as she prepared the vegetables.

"Zhang Fu, you say?"

Hearing his Granddaughter's words, Old Chief Gu's tone paused, then he continued.

"Her situation is the same as your Aunt Gu Ying's. She is also an adopted daughter of your Maternal Grandparents, a child from a Comrade-in-arms' family... Your mother and she had a good relationship. After your mother got married, she often came over as a guest..."

Old Chief Gu didn't say anything else.

Hearing her Grandpa say this, Xiao Niannian asked again.

"Is she divorced?"

Old Chief Gu looked at his Granddaughter with some surprise when he heard this.

"Yes."

Xiao Niannian increasingly felt that her guess might not be wrong.

Xiao Niannian didn't ask any more questions.

After preparing the vegetables, she took them to wash, then brought them into the kitchen.

Lu Jing was being spun around by Chief Gu's commands.

"Lu Jing, cut these vegetables."

"Go add some firewood."

"This dish needs a little more garlic. Add some and put it back on the stove."

"These potatoes are sliced too thick..."

Chief Gu turned around and saw his daughter. He immediately felt a little guilty. He smiled, looked at Niannian, and said.

"Niannian, are you hungry? These are the pancakes your Grandma and Aunt Chen made. Have a few to try first."

Xiao Niannian took the pancakes and started eating.

Lu Jing saw Niannian walk in, a hint of a smile on his face, and continued to busy himself.

"Dad, the vegetables are all washed."

"Good. Quickly take these two plates to the living room. If you're very hungry, eat a few more. There are also several kinds of pastries on the living room table; try them all..."

"Okay."

Seeing his daughter walk out, Chief Gu let out a sigh of relief, but his gaze towards Lu Jing was still sharp.

"Niannian is hungry, Xiao Jing, let's stir-fry the dishes quickly."

"Okay."

Outside the Gu Family home, Gu Ying's face was extremely gloomy, and Ma Xue also looked very displeased.

Zhang Fu saw their expressions and spoke.

"I didn't expect Brother-in-law to actually find his daughter. But is this daughter real? Could Brother-in-law have been deceived...?"

Ma Xue heard Aunt Zhang Fu's words, recalled the grievances she had just suffered, and immediately chimed in.

"That little slut is Eldest Maternal Uncle's daughter? I don't see any resemblance at all. She's probably an imposter..."

Zhang Xiaorou heard Ma Xue say this and also agreed.

"I looked at her closely just now. I feel she has a slight resemblance to Uncle, but something still feels off..."

Zhang Xiaorou's words were somewhat ambiguous and didn't specify what was off. But saying that Xiao Niannian only had a slight resemblance to Chief Gu made Ma Xue even angrier.

Gu Ying listened to these words, her brows furrowed deeply. She said.

"I'll find someone to investigate this thoroughly and see where she really came from..."

"Sister Gu Ying, this matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly. If she's an imposter, how sad would that make Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu? And my parents and Older Brothers, if they hear this news, they'll be happy only to be disappointed, and I don't know if they can withstand such a blow..."

Zhang Fu said, her voice sounding a bit sad.

"Mom, should we still tell Maternal Grandparents and the Maternal Uncles about this?"

Zhang Xiaorou asked her mother.

"This matter..."

Zhang Fu glanced at Gu Ying and Ma Xue, paused for a while, then continued.

"Let's tell them. Your Maternal Grandparents aren't in the Capital City right now anyway."

She didn't believe that her parents would come to the Capital City for this imposter.

"Sister Ying, this matter really needs to be investigated."

Gu Ying and Ma Xue got into the car and drove home furiously.

When Ma Jin returned home and saw the living room in a mess, his brows furrowed.

Seeing Gu Ying's furious face, he suppressed his displeasure, walked over to Gu Ying with a smile, hugged her, and asked.

"Wife, what happened? Who made you angry?"

Gu Ying forcefully pushed Ma Jin away.

Ma Jin's leg hit the coffee table, and his face changed from the pain. If it were anyone else, he would have started cursing. But now, he endured the pain, stood up again, and tried to appease Gu Ying.

"Quickly tell your husband who angered you. I'll get revenge for you..."

"Who angered me? Some little slut appeared from nowhere, pretending to be my Eldest Brother's daughter. Now Eldest Brother and Dad and Mom are completely fooled by her..."

Ma Jin heard this and looked at Gu Ying in surprise.

"You mean Eldest Brother-in-law found his biological daughter? He really has a biological daughter?"

Before, Eldest Brother-in-law said Eldest Sister-in-law was pregnant, and it was a daughter, and he had been searching for twenty years. He always thought Eldest Brother-in-law was obsessed and just imagining things.

For so many years, there had been no news of Eldest Sister-in-law. Some clues found earlier all said Eldest Sister-in-law had died.

They even found Eldest Sister-in-law's grave before, but Eldest Brother never believed it and kept searching.

And now he's saying he found his biological daughter?

"What biological daughter? She's definitely an imposter..."
