Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Don’t Call Qiao Yin Anymore Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Don’t Call Qiao Yin Anymore “This—”
Qiao Yin’s face was full of hesitation, “I’m not quite ready for this yet. I’ve known Grandma for several years, and the affection we have ca from spending ti together, so only then did we beco like true grandparents and grandchild. But the Gu Family is still very unfamiliar to , I…”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s unfamiliar. You can return to the Gu Family first and spend more ti with the Gu Family mbers. Then, feelings will develop,” soone suggested.
Gu Guotai spoke with strong conviction, “Moreover, you can rest assured that if you co back to the Gu Family, I will arrange an appropriate identity for you, so you won’t feel embarrassed. Additionally, I will treat you fairly just like the other children in the family. When the ti cos for you to get married, I will prepare a generous dowry for you. Whatever a Gu Family daughter would receive, you will have as well, including a share of the inheritance.”
Qiao Yin was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected Gu Guotai to be so serious.
Although he might only want her to return to the Gu Family because of her skill in dicine, the terms he offered were actually quite favorable to her.
After all, she was just Gu Chengqiao’s illegitimate daughter. In a wealthy family like the Gu Family, illegitimate children have a hard ti being accepted, as such matters are not seen in a positive light, and even many common people are reluctant to acknowledge having illegitimate children.
Gu Chengsong also spoke up to persuade her, “Yinyin, we all really hope you can co back to the Gu Family. We are family. You are not a Qiao, you are a Gu; you have the blood of the Gu Family in your veins! The old master has actually already planned everything for you. He really cares about you. Shouldn’t you hurry up and call him Grandpa? Your Grandpa’s sincerity is imnse; shouldn’t you make him happy?”
Qiao Yin actually didn’t want to call him that, but if she wanted to return to the Gu Family, this was the first step she had to take.
Today was actually not a bad opportunity.
She looked up at Gu Guotai and saw a faint hope on his face. She bit her lip and managed to show a smile, “Grandpa.”
Gu Guotai hadn’t expected her to really call him that and was sowhat surprised, “Good! Good child, being willing to acknowledge your Grandpa ans more than anything else! Jing, go to my study room, fetch the jade pendant, and put it on Third Sister!”
Gu Jing hadn’t expected Qiao Yin to be willing to call him Grandpa either, frowned at the na “Third Sister,” and was even reluctant to give up the pendant.
“What are you dazed about, hurry and go fetch it!”
Gu Jing had no choice but to turn and go upstairs to the study room to fetch the jade pendant, and then he gave it to Qiao Yin.
Gu Guotai explained, “Every direct descendant of the Gu Family has one of these jade pendants; it’s a symbol of the Gu Family’s identity. From now on, you are also a Miss Gu. Keep the jade pendant well and don’t lose it.”
Qiao Yin caressed the smooth, warm jade, observing the lifelike pattern of dragons and phoenixes engraved on it, knowing in her heart that the jade piece was probably worth a fortune.
She said softly, “Thank you, Grandpa. I will cherish it.”
Gu Guotai, seeing her compliance and politeness, felt very content, “Now that you are a mber of the Gu Family, we’ll have to change your na as well. Your dad told that he had already chosen a na for you, in the sa generation as your elder sisters. From now on, you are Gu Ranyin, no more Qiao Yin.”
Qiao Yin still showed a compliant deanor, “Okay, I’ll listen to Grandpa.”
Whether her surna was Gu or Qiao made no difference to her. She didn’t care about these trifles anymore. As long as she could find the true perpetrator who killed her mother, changing her na, or even her gender, was not out of the question.
Her obedient and agreeable nature pleased Gu Guotai. He had always disliked stubbornness, and it was Qiao Yin’s gentle character that made him willing to call her back to the Gu Family.
“We’re all family from now on. There’s no need to be so formal. You’re not unfamiliar with the people and matters of the Gu Family. I’ll arrange a family dinner soon, so you can formally et the rest of the family,” he said.
