Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Many times, children’s words are the most touching.

Gu Yu's soft and sweet words "Does it hurt?" made Gu Yan's heart ache so much that he almost cried in front of the little kid.

Gu Yan controlled his strength and hugged Gu Yu as tightly as possible, saying in a low voice: "Don't worry, Sui Sui, uncle is not in pain."

Gu Yu pursed his lips, silently put his arms around Gu Yan's neck, put his little face against Gu Yan's face, and said nothing more.

Following Cheng Wan, Wang and Xu Zhinian, who arrived here a few steps behind, couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.

The Gu Yan today is completely different from the Gu Yan before.

In the past, Gu Yan had a cold and noble look in his eyes and skin like jade. He was obviously a nobleman from an extraordinary family.

But now, Gu Yan is more deep and resolute, and his exposed skin is far from as fair and tender as before, especially the hideous scar on the right cheek.

If it weren't for the fact that his figure was still as slender and tall as before, and his facial features were not so familiar, Wang and Xu Zhinian would not have dared to recognize him.

"Aunt, Miss Xu."

Gu Yan saw Wang and Xu Zhinian stopped not far away, and took the initiative to greet them with a smile.

"Eh~" Wang looked at Gu Yan carefully, then suddenly turned her head and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

The more she saw how much Gu Yan had changed, the more she felt sorry for Gu Yan and... Cheng Daping.

Wang didn't dare to think about it. Even Gu Yan was tortured into this state by the war, so what would her son Cheng Daping become like?

When Gu Yan saw Wang crying, he looked at Cheng Wan at a loss.

Cheng Wan shook his head lightly: "My mother feels sorry for you, and she also misses my elder brother."

Gu Yan held Gu Yu's hand and moved it, his long eyelashes drooping slightly.

He no longer has a mother who worries about him...

"Look at me, Ah Yan's return is such a happy event, why should I shed tears?" Wang blinked her eyes, looked at Gu Yan lovingly, and said in a gentle voice: "Let's not stand here, let's go inside, the others should be waiting in the main hall."

Cheng Wan and Gu Yan walked side by side at the end and quickly told the story of Gu Yu's grandparents: "This is the third time we've come to pick up Sui Sui. It's a good opportunity for you to come back. You can make a decision."

Gu Yan twitched the corners of his lips and sneered, "I'm afraid you have forgotten how you favored your stepmother's daughter and how you couldn't wait to expel my eldest sister-in-law from the family after something happened in my Gu Mansion. Why are you pretending to be a grandfather who loves his grandson now?"

Cheng Wan glanced at the stiff and embarrassed faces of You Shichang and other members of the You family who were coming towards him, then turned to look at Gu Yan.

She reasonably suspected that Gu Yan's words just now were deliberately said for You Shichang and others who were about to approach to hear.

"Gu..."

“I am Sui Sui’s uncle, and I will entrust Sui Sui to whomever I choose.

In the future, don’t try to scheme against Sui Sui, and don’t play any tricks on the Marquis Zhaoping’s Mansion.

Otherwise, I will make the You Mansion's descent smoother."

Gu Yan looked at You Shichang expressionlessly, and his cold and stern words shattered the speech You Shichang had prepared with great difficulty.

You Shichang's face twisted slightly and his fists clenched.

He felt as if his face skin had been torn off alive and stepped on twice.

"What are you talking about?! My father is Sui Sui's maternal grandfather! I am Sui Sui's great uncle! How can we…"

When Gu Yan looked over, You Songjin felt as if someone had grabbed his throat, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

He saw impatience and naked murderous intent in Gu Yan's eyes.

"Let's...go!" You Shichang gritted his teeth and uttered these three words one by one. Then he flicked his sleeves and walked away with a grim face.

The other members of the You family were unwilling to leave, but they did not dare to stay, so they had to follow You Shichang away with resentment.

Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Come here, show the guest away."

"It's finally over. It turns out that Ayan's words were effective in this matter. Before, Awan was always a little restrained when facing them."

Wang patted her chest, turned her head to look at the backs of the You family, and smiled.

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan with curved eyebrows and dark eyes. He really wanted to touch his Ah Wan...

In the main hall, although Old Lady Lin and Cheng Daniu and others had just arrived, they were already getting impatient.

Old Mrs. Lin stood at the entrance of the main hall, staring at the road outside without blinking, and kept muttering: "Why haven't you come yet? Is this road so difficult to walk on? You say this A Wan is really something, A Yan is A Yan, why is there such a thing as a distinguished guest coming to visit? I almost don't bother to rush over here..."

"Mom, what Awan said is right. Isn't Ayan a distinguished guest?" Cheng Daniu listened to Mrs. Lin's muttering and felt a little amused.

"Tsk, A-Yan is one of our family members, how can he be considered a guest?!" As she spoke, Mrs. Lin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Here they come! Here they come! They are coming!"

Then, without caring about her ladylike elegance and steadiness, Old Lady Lin just ran out.

"Madam, please slow down." Xia Yun was worried and hurried to catch up with Old Lady Lin, his hand always supporting her from behind.

The remaining Cheng Daniu and his companions naturally would not stay there and wait, and they also chased out excitedly.

"Ayan! Ayan! Let grandma take a look! Ah..."

Old Mrs. Lin suddenly stopped walking and her voice also stopped.

Gu Yan handed Gu Yu to Cheng Wan, and walked a few steps to Old Lady Lin. He showed her a gentle smile and said, "Grandma."

Old Lady Lin touched Gu Yan's face with trembling hands, her eyes fixed on the scar on Gu Yan's right cheek, her lips trembling: "You...what's wrong with your face? Huh?"

"I was cut by the enemy's knife. I'm lucky. I was only disfigured, but I'm still alive."

Gu Yan spoke these few words calmly and even had a smile on his face.

If Gu Yan had not met Cheng Wan alone before and taken the reassurance pill given by Cheng Wan, he would have been ashamed, inferior and self-abandoned at this moment.

But Cheng Wan didn't despise him and still liked him, so he was fearless and felt at peace.

He was only afraid that Cheng Wan didn't want him...

"Ah, Ayan..."

Old Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Yan and felt as if her heart was being squeezed hard by someone, causing severe pain.

She knew what a handsome and good-looking child he was.

It is because I know that I feel particularly heartbroken.

But even though it hurt, she had to admit that Gu Yan was right.

He is lucky and is still alive.

When Old Mrs. Lin thought of Cheng Daping, she felt even more depressed.

War, when will it ever end?

Gu Yan took the handkerchief that Old Lady Lin used as a decoration, wiped her tears gently, and joked: "Grandma, I'm ugly now, you won't dislike me and stop me from being your grandson-in-law, right?"

“How could it be?!” Old Mrs. Lin glared, almost putting her hands on her hips, and said with full energy: “As long as you treat Ah Wan well, grandma will decide on you as her grandson-in-law. Besides, what’s wrong with you? Aren’t you just a few scars? You look good! You look better than before!”
