773: Willingly stepping into this trap.

"Tell them to come back less often in the future; just seeing them is annoying."

Grandpa Gu said angrily.

"Okay, old man, don't be angry. I'll talk to Gu Ying." Grandma Gu was also utterly disappointed with Gu Ying and Ma Xue.

The Guo Family, along with the Qiao Family, was plotting against the Gu Family.

And Ma Xue, Gu Ying, and Ma Jin willingly stepped into this trap.

Aunt Gu also brought up another matter.

"Let's eat first."

Grandpa Gu spoke.

Aunt Chen and Aunt Li had already prepared the meal.

Xiao Niannian saw that her Grandparents hadn't eaten much. She knew that deep down, her Grandparents still cared about their Maternal Granddaughter, Ma Xue. It was just that Ma Xue had completely fallen in and wouldn't listen to outsiders.

After dinner, Xiao Niannian went upstairs and heard her Father's footsteps.

"Niannian."

Xiao Niannian opened the door.

"Your Grandpa said you have calligraphy from the Old Chief. Father wants to see it."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian nodded. She walked into the bedroom, actually taking it out from her spatial dimension.

Father Gu wiped his hands, looking at the two pieces of calligraphy in front of him with some excitement.

After opening them and seeing the characters, he was also very excited.

"Good, good, truly excellent."

Father Gu had calligraphy from the Old Chief, but that was his own honor. For his daughter to receive calligraphy from the Old Chief, that was her honor.

"You must keep this piece of calligraphy well and pass it down as a family heirloom. As for the other piece, when your Special Forces Brigade wins the competition against all other Special Forces Brigades, you can take it out and place it in your team's history museum. This honor is immense..."

"Father, I understand."

Father Gu reached out and patted his daughter's shoulder. He noticed his daughter had grown a bit taller.

His daughter resembled both him and his wife, and when she spoke, her demeanor was also very much like his wife's.

He missed his wife a bit, but no matter how much he missed her, his wife couldn't come to the Capital City right now.

He had reported to the Old Chief and the others earlier, and their opinion was to wait a bit longer.

To be honest, he was a bit anxious, but since the Old Chief and the others had said so, and the other chiefs also said that in the current situation, not recognizing family was better than recognizing family.

Even without recognizing family, the Wang Family had already encountered so many things. After recognizing family, the dangers would be even greater.

And the Wang Family's status in Hong Kong City would also be more affected.

Chief Gu looked at his daughter and said with a smile.

"When will Xiao Jing and the others arrive?"

"In these two days, we're going to Heilongjiang Province."

Chief Gu nodded.

"It's a bit cold there. Father will prepare a few sets of warm military greatcoats for you..."

"Thank you, Father."

Xiao Niannian didn't refuse her Father's kindness. She understood that even if she refused, her Father would find a way to give her these things.

These past years, when she wasn't with the Gu Family, her Grandparents and Father had tried every possible way to compensate her.

She knew all the good things her family did for them.

Father Gu talked with his daughter for a while, then asked about Gu Yuan.

"Precious, your Eldest Brother seems to be dating someone. Have you met his girlfriend?"

Hearing her Father's words, Xiao Niannian smiled.

"Father, are you talking about Shi Yu?"

Father Gu nodded.

"Tell Father what kind of person comrade Shi Yu is."

Xiao Niannian heard this and said with a smile.

"Father, why don't you ask Eldest Brother?"

Hearing his daughter's reply, Father Gu snorted and said irritably.

"That Kid, he wouldn't say anything even if I asked him."

"She's a Researcher, a very good person, and she really likes Dake."

Hearing his daughter praise his Eldest Son's girlfriend, Father Gu's smile widened.

"Hearing Precious talk about her, she must indeed be a good person. Do you know about her family background?"

"It seems her family members are also Soldiers, and also from the Capital City."

Her family members are also Soldiers? Also from the Capital City?

Father Gu was even more satisfied.

"Good, Father understands."

Chief Gu then brought up Gu Jin.

"Your Second Brother hasn't had a vacation recently, and he definitely won't be free to come back for New Year's. After the New Year, let him come back to visit. Your Grandparents are getting old and just want you all to be around them..."

Chief Gu then explained.

"Father isn't asking you to transfer back."

"Father won't bother you anymore. You should rest."

Chief Gu turned and walked to his side.

Xiao Niannian looked at her Father's back. Even though he was fifty, he was still a handsome young man!

Xiao Niannian returned to the living room.

She put away the two pieces of calligraphy, carefully packing them in a wooden box!

Hearing the phone ring, Xiao Niannian answered the call.

"Wife."

Lu Jing's voice came through.

"Mm."

"We're preparing to set off in these two days..."

Lu Jing explained the situation.

"Okay."

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to your house." Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"Okay, Grandpa and Grandma called me today and said they miss you too."

In the morning, Xiao Niannian woke up early. She had a day off today. If her Master didn't call her tomorrow, she could also rest. In two or three days, Lu Jing and the other Team Members of the Special Forces Brigade would arrive.

"Put all these things in the trunk."

"You should have gone to the Lu Family a few days ago. Grandma and Grandma Lu told them you came back for official business and have been busy these past few days, only coming back in the evening..."

Grandma Gu chuckled as she mumbled.

"Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu both understand, and they even told you to work hard..."

Xiao Niannian drove to the nearby Lu Family home.

Hearing the car, Aunt Zhu and Aunt Qian from the Lu Family came out.

"Niannian is back!"

The two Aunts warmly welcomed her.

Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu heard the sound inside and also came out.

"Grandpa, Grandma."

Seeing their Granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu were all smiles.

Old Man Gu had bragged to him several times these past few days, saying his Granddaughter was back and had been busy at the Health Bureau, working until late every night... They naturally also wanted to see their Granddaughter-in-law, but she only came back at six or seven every day, and with so many things to do, they couldn't say much.

"It's good you're back, but why bring so many things?"

Grandma Lu chuckled, holding Xiao Niannian's hand.

"Grandma, these are from Guangzhou City. Many of these were picked by Lu Jing; he told me to bring them back..."

Grandma Lu smiled, hearing her Granddaughter-in-law's words.

"You don't need to speak for Xiao Jing. These must be things you specially prepared. Every time Xiao Jing comes back, he only brings those few things, not as many as you've brought..."

Xiao Niannian laughed, hearing Grandma Lu expose her.

"Precious, you're wearing too little. You should wear more."

Grandma Lu looked at Xiao Niannian, who was dressed thinly, and said with concern.

"Grandma, I'm wearing a thick cotton coat and a military greatcoat. It's very warm."
