Chapter 334: Chapter 335: Madness, Twisted Past..
Translator: 549690339
From the moment she found out that Xia Yangyang was Tan Zhen’s daughter.
Gu Mingzhu knew that this day would eventually come.
She just didn’t expect that everything would happen so quickly, so unexpectedly.
And her first reaction was a foolish denial.
If Xia Yangyang wasn’t somewhat certain, she wouldn’t have bluntly asked her if she knew Tan Zhen.
But then again, if Xia Yangyang knew about her past with Tan Zhen.
She wouldn’t have asked her like this.
Gu Mingzhu’s memories, those buried deep, those secrets unknown to others, were like mirrors covered with dust.
And now, a gust of wind has swept past.
The past dust was blown clean, and those painful, twisted, dark and even insane memories rushed forward, clearly reflected in the mirror, frightening her, making her tremble.
The old master was already in the dining room.
He was very happy to see Xia Yangyang coming in.
“Girl, how long has it been since you visited? You look like you’ve lost weight,” he observed.
Xia Yangyang laughed lightly: “Dad, I’m not losing weight, and I’ll come back to see you more often in the future.”
The old man sighed deliberately: “We, the Gu family, are rather thin. Recently, I feel that the enormous Gu Manor is getting colder and colder. If there was a child, things would be much more lively.”
Xia Yangyang sighed inwardly.
Every time she comes back to the Gu Manor, the old master hints at this several times, both directly and indirectly.
Now one of his army buddies has a grandchild, now one of the housemaids has quit to take care of her own child.
Xia Yangyang understood the loneliness of the elderly.
But having children is not something that can be simply done on a whim.
What’s more, she hasn’t even graduated yet.
And she hasn’t started preparing for her wedding with Gu Qichen.
Most importantly, she, Xia Yangyang, was barely in her early twenties. Having a child is way too early, right?
But Xia Yangyang couldn’t express these thoughts in front of the old master.
She could only look at Gu Qichen with pleading eyes.
But Gu Qichen opened his mouth calmly: “Yangyang is still young, she’s still a child. I don’t want her to become a mother at such a young age.”
“She’s still young, but what about you?”
The old master looked disappointed.
“Besides, what’s wrong with having a child while young? The body recovers faster, there are many nannies in the house, it’s not your turn to take care of the child in person. You just give birth, and leave the rest to me. I’m old, and my health is declining day by day, I have only this one wish left in this life…”
The old master looked more pitiful as he spoke.
Think about it, he used to be a war-hardened general.
Yet now he looked as if he was about to shed tears.
Xia Yangyang couldn’t bear such a scene.
She quickly said: “We’ll have one, we will. Dad, rest assured, we’ll put having a child on our schedule and strive to let you hold your grandchild as soon as possible.”
The old master smiled instantly: “Be it a grandson or granddaughter, I love them all. As long as it’s a child of you and Ah Chen, no matter how many you wish to have, I won’t ask for more. Even if you only want to have one, I won’t insist. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, the entire Gu family’s assets will belong to them.”
The old master was delighted.
Xia Yangyang wore a long face.
The old master’s emotional fluctuations were really drastic.
At that moment, Gu Zhaohan entered.
Hearing the old master’s words, he stood at the door, stunned.
Xia Yangyang felt a complex mix of emotions; the old master’s favoritism towards Gu Qichen had reached such a point.
The child hadn’t even been born, and he’s already willing to pass on the Gu family’s assets to his grandchild.
But Gu Zhaohan, he was the old master’s grandson too.

He even gave up his paternal surname.
Xia Yangyang sighed inwardly.
Gu Zhaohan entered.
The old master asked: “Where’s Mingzhu?”
Gu Zhaohan answered: “Mom said she wasn’t feeling well and didn’t want to have dinner tonight..”
