"Since Xi calls you ’brother-in-law’, then shouldn’t I use ’Mister’ or ’Madam’ instead of ’you’ when addressing your parents?"
At these words, Qin Sijue’s brows knotted together.
Earlier at the hospital, he had also thought about changing his way of addressing them, but he couldn’t adapt right away.
He remained silent, but Gu Qiangwei was still waiting for his answer.
"Give me some time, I’ll slowly make the change."
The sudden request to change how he addressed them was genuinely difficult for him to comply with.
His response surprised Gu Qiangwei.
She thought that, given his character, he would definitely scoff at it and disregard the notion.
But to ask her to give him time to change? How could she not be surprised?
Before long, the black Maybach arrived at the entrance of the Commander Residence.
The automatic gate slowly opened, and after pausing briefly, Qin Sijue drove the car into the courtyard.
Seeing the two of them arrive, Zhuang Yanyan couldn’t stop smiling!
"Oh my, my granddaughter-in-law has finally come! Quick, come here and let me have a look at you!" Zhuang Yanyan pulled Gu Qiangwei over, examining her as if it had been ages since she last saw her, checking to see if she had gained or lost weight.
Gu Qiangwei felt somewhat awkward in the face of the elder Mrs. Qin’s enthusiasm.
Because they had just parted the previous night, what was there to look at?
The three of them entered the house, and since Feng Jinglei was heavily pregnant, she did not come out and was sitting on the sofa.
Seeing the two walk in, she nonetheless stood up, "Qiangwei, you’re here."
Gu Qiangwei smiled back at her and nodded, "Mhm."
The Commander Residence had already prepared a big table of dishes, just waiting for the two of them to start eating!
At the dining table, when Gu Qiangwei’s background was revealed, the elder Mrs. Qin and Qin Guozhong were so shocked that they couldn’t speak, including Qin Feimo and Feng Jinglei!
"What did you say!? Qiangwei is... the lost daughter of the Nangong Family!?" Zhuang Yanyan was still holding her rice bowl, and upon hearing the news, she was so startled she even forgot to eat!
Gu Qiangwei, however, kept her head bowed silently and continued to eat her rice...
She didn’t want to make this matter known to everyone, although... it was bound to become common knowledge sooner or later.
"Mhm." Qin Sijue responded with a soft affirmation.
The reason he followed his grandmother’s lead in the conversation, mentioning that Gu Qiangwei had just recognized her relatives and returned, was to let his grandfather know and to see his reaction.
He glanced at Qin Guozhong and saw his face filled with astonishment, also shocked to the point of forgetting to eat.
"Qiangwei is the biological daughter of Mr. Nangong and his wife? How... how did this happen?" Feng Jinglei was also incredibly incredulous.
Because this was just too sudden.
"It’s a long story; better not to talk about it." Qin Sijue said as he continued eating.
He certainly had no intention of explaining the whole story from beginning to end!
"My grandson, you’re not mistaken, right? Qiangwei is really the granddaughter of the Nangong Family? Then... what about Nangong Feifei?"
"She’s a love child." Qin Sijue continued eating as he answered Zhuang Yanyan’s question.
Hearing this, the elders were shocked again!
"Nangong Feifei is a love child!?"
It was Qin Guozhong who spoke, he had never heard that Nangong Feifei was a love child before. Wasn’t she the child of Nangong Mingchuan and Tang Yuyan? How could she be a love child!?
His reaction made Qin Sijue’s lowered eyelids slightly lift, as he glanced at him.
Qin Guozhong immediately halted, realizing the meaning behind his grandson’s gaze.
"What are you looking at?"
"What am I looking at? I’m looking at you, the stubborn old man! Who was it that insisted on having Nangong Feifei as my granddaughter-in-law?" Zhuang Yanyan peered at her husband teasingly, "Now what? Do you still want Nangong Feifei to be my granddaughter-in-law, or is it Qiangwei, hmm?"
