Gu Xinzhou held her grandmother in her arms, her tears falling freely.
"Grandma, please wake up!
This is nothing but burying one's head in the sand, deceiving oneself!
Am I Zhuang Xiuya's daughter?
Am I the legitimate young lady of the Gu Family?
Such words can only deceive those who came later!
All my life, the elders in the elite circles have looked at me as if I were an illegitimate daughter!"
Lan Baozhen's hands were withered, shaking tremulously.
She too was once a lady of respectability, she too was once the wife of a wealthy family head.
It was just that her husband had become lackluster in his later years, and the business had failed...
So, hearing Gu Xinzhou's words, she was suddenly reminded of how her little granddaughter had struggled all these years.
She held what was dear to her even tighter.
Lan Baozhen was shaking all over, her heart ached with pity, but she was not regretful!
She choked up, "Little Zhouzhou, sob sob~ has Zhuang Xiuya treated you poorly all these years?
Grandma asked you to endure, why couldn't you just listen?
Even if your life is tough, who isn't born into hardship and dies in comfort?
Because of your hardship, you must strive to improve yourself!"
Looking at her beautiful and lovely granddaughter before her, Lan Baozhen liked her more and more the longer she looked, and found her harder and harder to part with.
If Gu Xinzhou hadn't left with Gu Yibo back then, what would she have become by now?
She certainly wouldn't have graduated from a prestigious Italian university, nor would she have such a respectable job!
And besides, Gu Yibo had promised her that he would hand over the entire Gu corporation to Gu Xinzhou!
This… was enough!
Lan Baozhen smiled with relief and wiped away her granddaughter's tears, "Zhouzhou, my good girl, seeing that you are living well now, Grandma is satisfied.
I lack nothing here, look, I am living well too.
You go back quickly, don't stay too long, don't let the media catch wind of it."
Gu Xinzhou shook her head, holding on to her and refusing to let go, "Grandma, I've missed you so much, I've just arrived, I don't want to leave! And doesn't my dad come every month?"
"Your dad comes to see an old lady like me, neighbors won't talk.
But you are different, you even drove your dad's car here, you're really…
Be good, go back!
If you don't leave now, Grandma will get angry, and I'll have to move house!
Then, you'll never be able to find me again!"
Although Lan Baozhen was old, she was born into a prestigious family, and she carried herself with great elegance.
She gently pushed Gu Xinzhou away, while not forgetting to teach her, "There is no success without effort.
You've only achieved a little success so far, you have to solidify your career and also marry a good man!
All these, they all depend on you being the biological daughter of Gu Yibo!
You've survived all these years, Grandma believes that in the future, things will only get better for you!"
"Sob sob~ Grandma~"
"Be good, Grandma is very healthy right now. If you can take back the Gu corporation sooner and establish your own presence, you can take Grandma to live in the city of B later!
But if you keep dragging your feet and can't be ruthless in handling things, I'm afraid I really will die in this small town!
Zhouzhou, you have to be ruthless to yourself!
To achieve great things, you must be ruthless to yourself!
Grandma will wait for your success before you come to fetch me!"
Gu Xinzhou found herself pushed out of the door by Lan Baozhen.
When Lan Baozhen had locked the door,
The grandmother and granddaughter cried on either side of the door.
She had no interest in the Gu corporation.
Why was Grandma so adamant she claim it?
Not wanting to worry her grandmother who was inside, Gu Xinzhou looked around, hurried downstairs, and left.
