228 Confessing Her Identity

Gu Man nodded slightly with a faint smile on her face. It seemed good to be cared for, but she did not expect Xiang Yin to tell her family about this.

Looking at the steaming food on the table and her grandmother busy in the kitchen, how could she not understand that Xiang Yin had told them in advance that she was preparing to go home?

She did not know whether to laugh or cry. Why did she feel like Xiang Yin was snitching?

This feeling did not offend Gu Man. Instead, she felt a warmth in her heart, as if she was being missed and cared about at all times.

“Uncle, I’m fine. It’s just that I didn’t want to tell you about my illness.” Seeing that her uncle was not very satisfied with her explanation, Gu Man felt troubled for the first time and could only shift her attention. “What did Grandma make? I’m so hungry.”

The expression on Huang Jun’s face immediately changed. He pushed Gu Man to the table. The rice was already scooped and the chopsticks were placed aside. She could eat them as soon as she picked them up.

“You have to nourish yourself well when you’re sick. Eat more.” Grandma had just finished and walked out. She looked at Gu Man with heartache. “It’s the college entrance examination. Take care of your health.”

This meal was enjoyable. It was a completely different feeling from when she was in the Gu Family. This was the taste of home.

Looking at the group of people sitting at the dining table chatting and laughing, Old Master Cui’s image suddenly appeared in Gu Man’s mind. She suddenly stopped what she was doing. Should she tell her grandmother and uncle about Old Master Cui?

“Manman, why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking?”

Gu Man shook her head. After thinking about it, she decided to tell them about this. After all, the Huang Family would meet Old Master Cui soon or later. It was better to tell them in advance and let them be mentally prepared.

“Grandma, Mom isn’t your biological daughter, right?”

The smile on Grandma’s face stiffened and she became serious. She put her chopsticks aside and frowned. Even Huang Jun’s expression changed.

“Manman, tell Grandma, did someone say something to you? Don’t believe those rumors. Your mother will always be my daughter.”

Gu Man shook her head and simply told her grandmother and uncle that Old Master Cui looked for her.

The atmosphere at the table instantly quietened down. Huang Jue also sensibly lowered his head and did not interrupt, although he had many questions in his heart.

“Sigh, I didn’t expect that it would still be discovered after hiding it for so long. Your mother is indeed not my biological daughter, but our Huang Family has always treated her as our biological daughter. I don’t have a daughter and your mother is especially. It’s just that fate makes fools of us.”

There were a few tears in the corners of her grandmother’s eyes, and her face, which was covered in traces of time, revealed exhaustion. “Manman, what are you thinking? Do you want to return to your real grandfather’s house?”

As one of the four major families, the Cui Family would definitely be able to bring Gu Man better conditions. Gu Man no longer had to rely on the Gu Family to live. She would even have a better environment than before. No matter how she looked at it, it was the best decision for Gu Man to choose the Cui Family.

“Grandma, you’re my family too.”

Gu Man did not know what to say. She could only hold her grandmother’s hand tightly, her expression serious and firm.

Grandmother’s tears flowed out of her eyes and fell on the table like pearls on a broken string. She took a piece of paper and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Look at how old I am. I’m still crying so hard. I’m really a joke to the younger generation.”

“Aunt, don’t say that.” Huang Jun felt a lump in his throat. How could he listen to such words?

“Manman, I’m very happy that you have this intention, but the Cui Family is a better choice. I don’t want to be a burden to you. Since you’ve found your family, reunite with them.”

The word family kept lingering in Gu Man’s mind, making her feel confused for a moment.

She had never felt much kinship, and she had even met that group of people from the Gu Family. However, she could feel warmth from her grandmother, uncle, and Huang Jue. They made her no longer feel frustrated when she returned, but rather relaxed.

Although Gu Man did not understand the definition of kinship, she thought that this should be kinship.

Unlike with Old Master Cui, this was a warmer and complacent feeling.
