Chapter 229 - 229 Huang Family and Cui Family
229 Huang Family and Cui Family
It was good that Old Master Cui was nice, but it was more of a compensation for what he owed her mother. It was different from the feeling that her grandmother, Huang Jun, and Huang Jue gave her.
“Grandma, I just said that you and Uncle are my family. I don’t care about those powers. It’s just that Old Master Cui treats me well, so I wanted to tell you that we’ve already met.”
Grandma held Gu Man’s hand and patted it gently twice. “Okay, okay. We’re family and we’ll never be separated.”
“Manman, if you need anything look for uncle. You’ll always be a member of the Huang Family.”
Huang Jue lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He thought that he would be abandoned by Gu Man again. Fortunately, this time was different from the last time.
“Sister, you can’t leave me behind this time.”
The unpleasant memories surfaced in his mind again. Huang Jue was panicking and wanted to grab something, but he missed. He looked up at Gu Man with watery eyes. His sister treated him very well. He did not want to lose her again.
“Okay, I’ll always be with you.”
Gu Man looked at Huang Jue’s teary eyes and her heart softened. She raised her hand and rubbed his head.
The sad atmosphere quickly dissipated. What they had to face was the meeting between the Huang Family and the Cui Family.
Grandma sighed, but her emotions did not fluctuate much.
“When I picked up your mother, I knew that this day would come. I also had some selfish motives. At that time, I had no daughter. When I saw your mother, I was happy. She was floating in the sea and I thought she was probably an abandoned girl, so I brought her back to the Huang Family to raise her. If your mother was still in the Cui Family, she might not have met that scum, Gu Yuan.”
“Grandma it’s not your fault. Mother is lucky to have met you.”
Gu Man could tell that although her grandmother’s mood had eased a little under her comfort, the worry in her eyes could not be concealed.
“Grandpa is a very good person. He will definitely thank you for adopting Mother.”
“I hope so, but there should indeed be an outcome to what happened back then. Manman, do you have Old Master Cui’s contact number? Let’s arrange a time to meet. It’s a problem to continue avoiding.”
Grandma understood. Since Old Master Cui could find Gu Man, he naturally knew of their existence. The two sides would meet sooner or later, so it was better to resolve this knot in her heart as soon as possible.
“Okay.”
The phone rang and the other party picked up quickly. Gu Man turned on the speaker. Old Master Cui’s excited voice echoed clearly in the hall.
“Little Man, why did you call me? How are you? That kid didn’t do anything to you, right?”
The concern in Old Master Cui’s voice did not seem to be fake. Grandma and Uncle looked at each other and relaxed a lot. It seemed that the things that happened in the Gu Family would not happen again.
“Grandpa, I’m fine.”
“Gu Man, what did you call me?”
“Grandpa?”
Gu Man did not understand the excitement in Old Master Cui’s words and called out again in confusion. She heard an excited voice from the other side of the microphone. “Sigh, every time I hear you call me Grandpa, my mood unconsciously improves. Alright, Gu Man, after talking so much to you, tell me what you need.”
Old Master Cui was indeed an old fox in the business world. Before Gu Man revealed anything, he had already guessed that she had something to say.
Gu Man organized her words in her heart and did not hesitate anymore. “Grandpa, my grandmother wants to meet you.”
The phone fell silent for a moment, and Old Master Cui’s voice became serious. “Alright, I want to see her too. She saved my daughter’s life.”
Hearing Old Master Cui’s words, Grandma and Uncle heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Old Master Cui was not as difficult to get along with as the rumors said.
Gu Man exchanged a few more pleasantries with Old Master Cui before hanging up. The two sides agreed on a time.
She did not feel nervous when she called, but after that, her grandmother felt a little nervous. “What do you think I should say? Should I bring some gifts?”
Gu Man could not help but find it funny. She patted her grandmother’s back comfortingly.
“You don’t have to prepare anything. Grandpa isn’t that scary. The most important thing now is for me to perform acupuncture on you. Did you take your daily medicine on time?”
