Chapter 198: Chapter 131: Why not just let her come home to live!

Tang Yisheng saw her seemingly relaxed demeanor and, with a heart full of nervousness, got into the car.

However, as soon as he ducked into the car, a gust of wind hit him face-on, and a strong hand forcefully landed on the back of his neck.

Before he could even cry out, he passed out in the car.

Gu Xiaoxi took out money from her bag and handed it to the driver, explaining, "Take him away from here, the farther the better."

The sight of a big wad of cash made the driver nod happily.

Gu Xiaoxi got out from the opposite door and left.

As Tang Yisheng’s car departed, she, holding the gift box, took big strides and once again approached the Gu Family’s front door.

There were six security guards and four bodyguards at the entrance, guarding it very strictly.

As she neared, a young man suddenly blocked Gu Xiaoxi’s path, "Hello, please show your invitation."

He was a man around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, tall with a black suit on, and his wolf-like eyes sparkled with a sinister and cold light, looking very dangerous.

He was neither a security guard nor a bodyguard, which meant he was the steward of this family.

The very Special Ability User that her mother had spoken of, a dangerous fellow capable of moving heavy objects.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes, her brows lifting in a gentle arc, and her face was all innocent smiles, "I am Gu Lirou’s daughter. Today is Grandpa’s birthday, and I’ve specially come to bring a gift. Look at this pair of antique blue-and-white porcelain vases, my mother’s most prized possession. She cherishes them so much that she has never wanted to part with them, but today I’ve brought them to honor Grandpa."

Gu Xiaoxi smiled sweetly and then proactively began to unwrap the gift box.

At this time, she seemed to be nothing more than a naïve young girl. The steward Mo Shang frowned, sized up Gu Xiaoxi for a good while, and then turned his attention to the gift she had opened.

By his judgment, these were indeed authentic antiques, and by market estimates, they would be worth at least a hundred million.

Did this woman have any brains, bringing a gift to the Gu Family to please the old master?

Never mind that she was not Gu Lirou’s biological child, even if she were, there was no guarantee that such a place would welcome her. But then again, the gift she brought was quite tempting.

"Wait here for a moment, I will report to the old master," Mo Shang turned and left.

Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t in any hurry and just waited there.

About two minutes later, a black luxury car drove from a distance down the street to the castle gate.

The car stopped, blocked by Gu Xiaoxi who was standing at the entrance.

The man in the car was a young man, twenty-five years old, the eldest son of the Gu Family, Gu Ming. The same Gu Ming who was born to Gu Yunshan and Gu Ruicheng behind Gu Lirou’s back and had been raised outside the family.

At twenty-six, he was already making big waves in the business world, under Gu Ruicheng, in both legitimate and underground circles.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled politely and moved aside to clear the way.

As Gu Ming’s car passed by her, it stopped.

The car window rolled down, and the man inside looked out, his eyebrows furrowed as he asked, "Who are you?"

"I am here to see Grandpa!" Gu Xiaoxi replied with a soft voice and a sweet smile.

It was at this moment, Mo Shang returned from reporting to the old master about Gu Xiaoxi, came out to Gu Ming with a respectful greeting, "Young Master! You’re back. The old master has been waiting for you."

Gu Ming simply nodded, his gaze falling on Gu Xiaoxi, with a thick interest in his eyes.

Mo Shang was a shrewd person and immediately said to Gu Ming, "She is your aunt’s daughter, Gu Xiaoxi. The old man said, since she has come all this way, let her join in on the fun."

Gu Xiaoxi feigned happiness and nodded, "That’s wonderful."

"Since we’ve met, let’s go together!" Gu Ming got out of the car and ordered the driver to drive away.

He and Gu Xiaoxi, led by Mo Shang, walked toward the Gu Family mansion.

"Your aunt has never been married; you must be her adopted daughter," Gu Ming asked, his expression revealing nothing unusual.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled sweetly, "Yes! After my mother passed away, I was left alone and destitute, and then I was adopted by someone else. My mother’s greatest regret in life was not being able to take care of her father, so I’ve come back in her place to show filial piety to my grandfather. I’ve even brought the most precious gift from my mother’s collection. I hope grandfather will like it."

As she spoke, she shook the box in her hands.

Gu Ming’s gaze swept over the gift box and he let out a gentle laugh, "Actually, this is also your home. If you’re comfortable living here, come back home. Our Gu Family can surely afford to support one more person; don’t you think so, cousin?"

Cousin?

Gu Xiaoxi sneered in her heart upon hearing this address.

From Gu Baofeng to Gu Yunshan, and then to Gu Ruicheng, not one of them was good. And there was no need to even mention Gu Ming. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, partners in crime.

"The Gu Family really wants to adopt me?" Gu Xiaoxi pretended to be uncertain, "But I’m not my mother’s biological daughter."

"What does that matter? Look, neither my father nor mother are biologically related, and grandfather treats them very well," Gu Ming said with a hint of amusement on his face.

He was only making an initial probe of Gu Xiaoxi; what exactly did she want to do at the Gu Family?

If it was out of vanity, hoping to be adopted by the Gu Family? That might not be such a bad thing!

Gu Xiaoxi feigned ignorance and looked at the luxurious house before her with desire, "I’ll have to ask my grandfather. If he’s willing to take me in, then I can live with you all."

As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly.

Gu Ming sized up Gu Xiaoxi, and from her expression, it wasn’t hard to discern that her purpose in coming here was indeed to rely on the Gu Family in some way.

He became a bit more cautious in his heart.

"After your aunt died, who adopted you?" Gu Ming asked nonchalantly.

Gu Xiaoxi answered casually, "My mother was somewhat close with the mayor, who introduced me to a wealthy family in City A. Although they are quite rich, their status is not as high as grandfather’s. As long as grandfather is willing to take me in, I am willing to come back. My mother had a lot of savings over the years, enough for me to spend without being a bother to grandfather."

I see!

Gu Ming and Mo Shang took her words to heart and calculated their next moves.

There were many people at the banquet, and Gu Xiaoxi, already dressed beautifully, caused a sensation as soon as she appeared with Gu Ming.

Gu Ming led her through the dense crowd and finally stood before an elderly gentleman over sixty, "Grandfather, happy birthday, your grandson is sorry for being late."

"Gu Ming, grandfather knows you are busy; he won’t blame you," said a woman in her fifties, looking as young as thirty, sitting beside Gu Baofeng with a smile on her face.

However, her expression fell immediately upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Baofeng’s face was full of smiles, and he warmly said to Gu Ming, "It’s good that you’re back! The company has been very busy lately, and you’ve done a lot in your father’s stead. I’ve seen it all, and I assure you, you won’t be treated unfairly in the future."

Gu Ming chuckled softly, his eyes brimming with confidence and pride.

With an elegant gesture to his elders, he then said to Gu Baofeng, "Grandfather, this is Gu Xiaoxi. We ran into each other at the intersection. Seeing that Xiao Xi is all alone and helpless, why don’t we let her come home to live with us?"
