Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhizhi looked at her aunt, then at her mother. “I like everything Mommy gives me.”

Han Li laughed happily.

Zhizhi’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. “I also like what Aunt gave me. When I grow up, I’ll give Aunt a gift that she likes.”

“Oh, our Zhizhi is so good at coaxing people. Sister-in-law, listen to this. I’ll go back and pick out a gift!” Gu Hao scratched Zhizhi’s nose.

Han Li looked at her obedient daughter and secretly felt relieved. She originally thought that it would be difficult for Zhizhi to integrate into the family after she came back. After all, she had lived in Peppermint Alley for so long. However, she did not expect that Zhizhi would adapt in just two days and get along with everyone in the family.

Once again, she was grateful to Qin Huai for adopting Zhizhi. She had already set up a memorial for Qin Huai in her heart and was especially grateful to her for giving her such a good daughter. Zhizhi acted as if she had never left the Gu family. Even though she had never seen many things before, she did not show any signs of fear. She was honest and cute.

“Old Madam, you don’t know this girl… When I take her on a trip, she’s always thinking about you guys. Whatever delicious food or fun things she sees, she wants to bring you guys, uncle, aunt, and Brother Gu Yu! This child! She’s been missing you guys the moment she stepped out of the house. Look, these are the gifts she chose for you!”

Before they even entered, he heard Li Dan’s cheerful voice.

Gu Yu could not help but frown.

“She hasn’t given up and wants to get us to adopt her daughter,” Han Li said with a calm expression.

Gu Yu sneered. “She’s so bold. The universe can’t contain her!”

Han Li pursed her lips and smiled.

Gu Yu picked up Zhizhi and stuffed her into Han Li’s arms. “Sister-in-law, hold onto Zhizhi and ignore whatever they say! I’ll block them for you!”

Han Li carried her daughter and followed behind Gu Yu. She was such a lucky woman, and everyone around her protected her.

“Is that Sister-in-law Li Dan?” Gu Yu shouted as soon as he entered the room. “Oh, you even brought so many gifts? You really put in a lot of effort. Oh, isn’t it Zhenzhen? You’re getting more and more beautiful!”

Li Dan’s expression changed when she saw Zhizhi in Han Li’s arms. She did not even hear Gu Yu’s greeting.

“This, this child, this child…” Li Dan pointed at Zhizhi.

Zhizhi was a little shy, so she turned around and hugged Han Li’s neck.

In any case, her mother had not asked her to call for anyone.

Old Madam Gu could not wait any longer. “Zhizhi, quick, bring Zhizhi over for me to see! The few of you, do you need so long to cut Zhizhi’s hair? My good granddaughter, come and let Grandma take a look!”

Han Li carried Zhizhi and walked to the Old Madam’s wheelchair.

Zhizhi leaned into the Old Madam’s arms and called out, “Grandma.”

The Old Madam was overjoyed. She touched her hair and praised, “It’s good! Our Zhizhi will look good no matter how you cut her hair!”

Han Li stood to the side with a smile.

Gu Yu looked on coldly from the side. He was shocked when he saw Gu Zhen looking at Gu Zhi with a venomous gaze.

Li Dan’s expression was also very unfriendly. Gu Yu sneered. This pair of mother and daughter had wild ambitions written all over their faces.

“Come, Zhizhi, let me introduce you to two guests. This is Big Auntie, this is Sister Gu Zhen, and this is Sister-in-law Li Dan. We’ve found our Gu Zhi! Oh, by the way, you guys should have received the invitation by now, right? Ah, it’s finally over. I don’t have to deal with those people who want to force their daughter into our family.”

Zhizhi turned her body around, and she looked up at the two people. She called out expressionlessly, ” Hello, Auntie. Hello, Sister Gu Zhen!

Then, she leaned into the Old Madam’s arms.

The Old Madam touched Zhizhi’s head lovingly. “Our Zhizhi is a Lucky Star. Her grandfather said that my condition improved as soon as I received news about her. I could have surgery as soon as she returned home. In the end, she was the one who woke me up. Our Zhizhi is a gift from God to the Gu family.”

Then, she kissed Zhizhi on the cheek.

Zhizhi smiled at her grandmother obediently and reached out to touch the embroidery on her lapel.

Before Li Dan and Gu Zhen could adjust their expressions, the Old Madam’s housekeeper, Aunt Zhao, knocked on the door and entered. She smiled and said, “Madam, Young Miss’s cat is back.”

“Xiaofu!” Zhizhi’s eyes lit up.

She ran over and took the black cat from Aunt Zhao’s hands, not forgetting to bow to Aunt Zhao, and said in a crisp voice, ” “Thank you, Grandma Zhao!”

“No need to thank me, Young Miss.” Mother Zhao beamed.

Zhizhi ran over to grandma with Xiaofu in her arms, raising her cat to the crowd. “This is Xiaofu!”
