Chapter 383: FAMILY REVEAL
After everything was done, they settled down happily. And Elder Gu laughed and said, " You all should thank me instead. If not for me, you all would have had to wait for a few more weeks to get to see this happy day! "
Hao Sifie rolled her eyes, and said as she pressed a smile, " We all would have thanked you, if you would not have been so over dramatic all this time.."
Elder Gu widened his eyes hearing this. He did not quite like heaving this. And he retorted, " This is not quite fair! "
Everyone one laughed. Ning Mei was all smiles. She could not belive everything was so easy and happy. She definitely did not think that the Gu family would have been so accepting of her just like that.
She was indeed confident that they would accept her, but she expected a little drama and fuss over it. And now she was more than happy to not have any of those. Things were already perfect and peaceful in the way they are.
But the main reason why the Gu family did not have any issue with accepting Ning Mei so soon, was definitely not because Gu Yeze had made them crazily desperate. It was because how positively Ning Mei’s image was crafted in front of them without her even knowing.
It was started with Ning Mei helping Gu Liya fight off those men. Then all the good talks Gu Liya and Gu Yehan always said about Ning Mei to them. After that, even Elder Gu taking a liking on Ning Mei and personally deciding to make her Gu Yeze’s wife.
As the saying goes, the more you hear good about someone, the more you start liking them. That was the same thing that happened here.
And at last, Gu Yeze was the one to marry her
He also introduced her as the ’love of his life’ and not just wife. Everyone in the family took notice of that. And they were more than happy hearing that. Ning Mei was a smart, independent and beautiful girl, so they had no much reason to oppose them.
And at the end of the day, their son was the one to spend his life with her and not them. So all that matters was his happiness.
And now, after everything, Gu Shaoting was the one who asked the most important question, " Ning Mei, tell us about your family? "
Hearing this, the room kind of went silent.
It was the younger generation that went quiet, everyone looking at Ning Mei with a hint of concern. Because though Ning Mei would not say it, the topic of her family was indeed a little of a sore point for her.
Everyone was curious to know about it, and they had their attention on her.
Even Elder Gu was interested to know about her.
Though, he had been following Ning Mei and Gu Yeze’s marriage from the very start, he never dwelled much into her family background.
He was busy analysing of the girl herself was good of his grandson or not.
All he knew was Ning Mei had just come back from America, after completing her studies, as she disclosed in one of her interview.
Ning Mei smiled and said, "I am the adopted daughter of the Ning family. The Chairman of the Ning Enterprise is my grandfather. "
Everyone was slightly surprised by the revelation. And then Gu Shaoting again asked, "Ning Jiming is the CEO of that, isn’t it? "
Gu Shaoting had noticed that you v man as he was one of the best few emerging minds in the business world.
Though, he had passed his position to his son, it did not men he had given up on business. Gu Shaoting kept his eyes actively on the business and even helped his children with their business timely.
Ning Mei nodded with a smile. She was happy that someone like Gu Shaoting noti ed her brother. Her brother was a talented man after all!
" Ning Mei?! It is the same you? ?! " All of a sudden Gu Shiya exclaimed on the realisation.
All the attention turned to Gu Shiya, as she came to Ning Mei and held her face. She said, " Oh my, my child, you have changed so much! And also become so beautiful that it is almost unrecognisable! Why did you not come to meet aunty? Even know you would not have told me, of Brother did not ask about the family, is it?"
Saying so, she enveloped her in a hug parting her back.
Ning Mei hugged Gu Shiya back, and she felt her eyes burn. Ning Mei never received her own parents love, but Feng Ye’s parents and Yu Lian’s parents always doted on her like their own daughter. And she could not be more thankful for that.
Gu Shiya pulled back and said, " Oh my, my child. Were you not eating properly in America? Look how skinny you have become! "
Ning Mei chuckled and said, " No aunty. I have been eating very well. But I was exercising a lot too.
And... I did not tell you because of the news that spread around about me three years back..."
Ning Mei streched the last line in hesistancy. She knew who wildly the rumour had spread at that time. And she was sure, Aunty Gu would have also heard of it. Agd she know did not know what she thought of her.
Gu Shiya pressed her lips together, and said, " Silly girl! You were worried about that? What did you take your Aunty as? I knew our Ning Mei would never do such thing. And later, Feng Ye also told me what had really happened that day. "
Then chuckling, she said, " By the way, I have to tell you, your idea was amazing! But sadly everyone in the high society thinks that’s true. "
Ning Mei giggled and said, " That was my exact plan, Aunty. Atleast, I was able to complete my studies in peace. "
