Chapter 760: Chapter 762: Not Lacking My One Daughter
"Nianhua," Pei Yicheng had some realizations, his eyes like the brightest stars in the dark sky. He cradled her face gently and said, "Thank you."
Xu Nianhua smiled lightly, blinked her eyes, and replied, "Even though I’ve never met your father, I believe he truly cared for you and your siblings with all his heart, but the Gu Family, I always feel their intentions aren’t pure."
After hearing Pei Yicheng’s story, she also wanted to take the opportunity to talk about the Gu Family.
"The Gu Family doesn’t lack a daughter like me, yet, they’ve come to visit repeatedly, wanting to acknowledge me as a family member again. What exactly happened back then, I don’t know, but I always feel like I wasn’t just stolen by a thief." Xu Nianhua lowered her eyes, even though at the bottom of her heart she was certain that it was Fang Yue who had despised her for being a daughter and secretly abandoned her.
But, without evidence, she couldn’t make that claim.
Returning to the Gu Family was definitely out of the question for her, and with this matter, she wanted to give Pei Yicheng a preemptive warning. She didn’t want to leave a bad impression in his heart.
"Also, about the incident at the Chili Sauce Factory a while ago, I also think that there must have been someone behind it, instructing that person." Xu Nianhua was clear in her heart that it must have been Gu Mingzhu’s doing, but, there was also no evidence.
She was now just hoping that the Gu Family would quickly start that pharmaceutical factory, so that she would have evidence to bring down the Gu Family.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already asked someone to look into the matter from twenty-one years ago, whether that thief really existed, and I’ll find out. I’m also investigating who was sabotaging the Chili Sauce Factory; there might be news very soon," Pei Yicheng said as he looked at her disappointed expression. The confusion and uncertainty that had troubled him before suddenly seemed insignificant!
"Don’t be sad, you still have me." Pei Yicheng embraced her tightly, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and comforted her, "Not only me, you also have Uncle Xu and Aunt Ji who adore you, as well as Nianji and Nian’an, they are all good brothers."
How much the Xu Family cherished Xu Nianhua, Pei Yicheng had seen with his own eyes. In comparison to the blood-related Gu Family, the Xu Family was truly Xu Nianhua’s real family.
"I’m not sad at all. What does it matter if there’s no blood relation? In my heart, Dad, Mom, and my older brothers are the relatives I acknowledge. As for the Gu Family, if they’re good, I’ll treat them like distant relatives; if not, I’ll treat them as strangers," Xu Nianhua grinned, showing off her neat, white teeth.
"Right."
Pei Yicheng gazed at her sweet smile and suddenly felt that he was perhaps not as strong as Nianhua.
...
After that night’s heart-to-heart talk, the relationship between Pei Yicheng and Xu Nianhua became even closer.
On July 1, Xu Nianhua went to school, where Professor Fei introduced her to a few alums who were to assist with receiving foreign guests.
"Here, let me introduce you."
Before Professor Fei could start, one girl with a ponytail smiled and spoke up, "Professor Fei, I know her, Xu Nianhua, Beining University’s Foreign Languages Department’s number one!"
"Number one in beauty, number one in studies," another girl with short hair counted on her fingers.
"In the whole Beining University, there’s nobody who doesn’t know her," the only boy in the classroom spoke up.
Xu Nianhua smiled modestly, not even knowing what to say. So, she was this famous at school?
"Fang Yuan, Yao Xinping, Zhuo Xiaolin," Professor Fei introduced them one by one, saying, "They are among the first batch of university students, studying French with me for nearly three years now."
