554: Comrade Gu calls him "sister-in-law"?

Xiao Niannian walked in and saw the astonished look on her father's face, making her purse her lips and blink her eyes.

She was now even more certain.

It was just that she didn't know what the problem was.

Could something have happened back then that caused her to lose her memory?

Thinking of the information Uncle Xiao provided, she admired Godmother in her heart; her life over the years was truly the 'powerful female protagonist' wish-fulfillment story mentioned online.

As for Uncle Wang, Xiao Niannian felt that it wasn't that Uncle Wang wasn't capable, but rather that he was a bit lazy and didn't want to spend much effort managing the company. If he managed it properly, he definitely wouldn't be worse than Godmother.

"Wife."

Chief Gu's words slipped out.

Hearing this address, Wang Yi looked up at Chief Gu, who was wearing a military uniform.

The feeling was very familiar and intimate, even though she had never met him.

But why did she have such a familiar and intimate feeling?

Wang Yi withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and looked at Chief Gu with a puzzled expression.

"Sister, this is Chief Gu, who is signing the contract with our family this time..."

Young Master Wang introduced him to his sister.

But Chief Gu's eyes were fixed intently on Wang Yi.

He couldn't be mistaken, even though more than twenty years had passed, and even though her appearance had changed slightly. But that gaze, that familiar feeling...

Not everyone who looked similar would make him think they were his wife.

Xiao Niannian widened her eyes. Her dad was truly bold, calling Godmother his wife the moment he opened his mouth.

Young Master Wang suddenly recalled that sentence and immediately glared at Chief Gu.

"Comrade Gu, what did you just call my sister?"

He hadn't misheard, had he? Comrade Gu called his sister his wife?

Chief Gu looked at Wang Yi, his eyes slightly red, and his whole body trembling slightly.

Seeing the man in front of her looking like this, some images suddenly flashed through Wang Yi's mind, but they were too fast for her to recall.

She frowned, rubbed her forehead, and spoke.

"Hello, Comrade Gu."

Wang Yi extended her hand.

Seeing her completely unfamiliar expression, Chief Gu opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

It turned out that when people were truly emotional, they really couldn't speak.

After several seconds, Chief Gu reached out and held her hand.

"Hello."

She didn't recognize him.

Chief Gu held Wang Yi's hand, feeling as if time had returned to more than twenty years ago.

"Dad."

Seeing her father lose his composure, Xiao Niannian called out.

Chief Gu snapped back to reality. Although he desperately didn't want to let go, he was in front of so many people, and the situation hadn't been clarified yet.

"On behalf of..."

Chief Gu spoke words of greeting and goodwill.

Wang Yi spoke words of thanks.

Chief Gu's eyes were fixed intently on Wang Yi.

Young Master Wang realized something was wrong. This Chief Gu seemed to harbor ill intentions toward his sister. Wait, no, he shouldn't describe Chief Gu that way.

Young Master Wang scrutinized Chief Gu. He looked quite young, but rumor had it he was over fifty.

Although his sister was in her forties, she looked much younger than her actual age.

No way, his sister deserved someone younger, not an old man.

But this person was Niannian's biological father. Young Master Wang looked at Niannian and saw her lightly smiling face as she watched his sister and Chief Gu.

Huh? Didn't his niece find this situation strange? Why was she still smiling cheerfully?

Could it be that his niece thought his sister was her mother?

But how was that possible?

"Chief Gu, everyone, please sit."

Wang Yi sat there, smiling as she looked at everyone.

Xiao Niannian stood next to Gu Yuan. Sensing her father's gaze, Xiao Niannian pushed her Elder Brother out.

Dad must be angry now, blaming her for not mentioning this earlier. But since the matter hadn't been thoroughly investigated, how could she speak about it? It wouldn't be good if she ended up disappointing Dad.

However, her father's reaction today was exactly as she had guessed.

Xiao Niannian saw Godmother looking at her.

Everyone else was outside. Currently, the only people in the room were Wang Yi, Young Master Wang, Xiao Niannian, Chief Gu, Gu Yuan, and Lu Jing.

Chief Gu looked at everyone, then looked back at Wang Yi, asking the same question Xiao Niannian had asked.

"comrade Wang Yi, did you grow up in Hong Kong City since childhood?"

Wang Yi understood Chief Gu's meaning and nodded.

"Yes."

Chief Gu looked at Wang Yi. He felt that this person was definitely his wife, but somehow she had lost her memory.

His daughter and the others must have investigated, but they hadn't found any clues.

And Old Xiao, after finding the information, told his daughter but didn't tell him.

When he returned to the Capital City, he definitely had to have a serious talk with Old Xiao.

"Chief Gu, do you think I look like your wife?"

She had heard the word 'wife' earlier. However, she hadn't expected someone like Chief Gu to be so composed, yet so unsettled as to call her his wife in front of so many people.

She had also been stunned just now.

Even though she was well-traveled and knowledgeable, she had never encountered such a thing.

She knew she was the daughter of the Hong Kong Wang Family, and she clearly understood Chief Gu's status. She already knew the identities of everyone attending today's Donation Ceremony.

She hadn't expected Niannian's father to have such a high status.

She also recalled Niannian saying that her father had been searching for her and her mother for more than twenty years, always believing that his wife and daughter were still alive.

She had only heard of such devoted people in stories. In reality, her own parents were very loving.

She didn't know why, but looking at Chief Gu made her heart beat faster. In all these years, she hadn't met anyone who made her heart race like this.

Could it be that she really was Niannian's biological mother?

But how could this be possible?

When she returned to Hong Kong City, she needed to ask her parents.

Also, given Chief Gu's status, and since Hong Kong City hadn't returned yet, her own status... For a moment, Wang Yi thought of many things, but she quickly cleared her head and adopted a very cold attitude toward Chief Gu.

"I'm a little tired."

Wang Yi spoke, signaling them to leave.

Hearing his Elder Sister's words, Young Master Wang immediately spoke.

"Chief Gu, my sister is tired. I'll escort you out..."

Young Master Wang was usually very good at reading his sister's expressions. He could react quickly whenever his sister spoke.

"Alright, comrade Wang Yi, it was a pleasure meeting you. See you next time."

Hearing her father's words and seeing that he was smiling much more than usual, Xiao Niannian pursed her lips and giggled.

Lu Jing's gaze remained on Niannian. Seeing her beaming face, how could he not know what Niannian was thinking? He was also certain that this Auntie Wang was Niannian's biological mother. However, many things hadn't been clarified yet, and Uncle Gu's current status wasn't suitable... so they still had to wait.

Gu Yuan turned back to look at Godmother, who looked very much like his mother. Gu Yuan's eyes turned red. He was nearly thirty years old now, but his mother's gentleness remained in his memory, and he eagerly hoped to find his mother soon.

Now that he saw Godmother here, he looked forward to the truth being revealed quickly.
