Chapter 128: Found My Family
Translator: _Min_
Song Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Gu Dai, “You’re an orphan. If you had any living relatives, they would’ve found you by now. Why did you only find them now, and right after divorcing my brother at that?”
Pausing for a moment, Song Yu sized up Gu Dai dismissively, “You didn’t conjure up some sort of delusional disorder after the shock, did you?”
Song An’s brows furrowed, and he spoke sternly, “What nonsense are you talking about? I’ve already decided to recognize Daidai as my own granddaughter!”
Song Yu was stunned. Regaining her composure, she asked sharply, “Why, Grandpa? Don’t you already have me as your granddaughter? Why do you need to recognize Gu Dai as well?”
Wang Lan was equally alarmed. After all the effort she had put into ousting Gu Dai from the Song family, the old man was now considering adopting her as a granddaughter, integrating her into the family once again.
Rushing to speak, Wang Lan said, “Dad, I don’t think this is a good idea. Gu Dai was once your daughter-in-law, and now you want to recognize her as your granddaughter? Isn’t that confusing?”
Unperturbed, Song An did not even listen to their words.
Gu Dai sighed helplessly. She knew that deep down, Song An didn’t actually believe she’d found her family. “Grandpa, I’m not lying. I really found my relatives. My parents are the founders of the Gu Group in the Capital, Gu Zhe and Meng Xian.”
Song An was stunned.
Wang Lan and Song Yu exchanged disbelieving glances.
Anyone in the business world would have heard of Gu Zhe and Meng Xian. They were geniuses who had built the Gu Group from scratch in a very short time, becoming leaders in various industries.
If Gu Zhe and Meng Xian were Gu Dai’s biological parents, didn’t that make her the rumored heiress of the Gu family?
No, it couldn’t be. Absolutely not!
Wang Lan and Song Yu both mentally rejected the notion, simultaneously declaring, “Gu Dai can’t possibly be the Gu family’s heiress!”
Scornfully sweeping her gaze over Gu Dai, Wang Lan sneered, “Even though the founders of the Gu family are no longer alive, they’re not people you, a country bumpkin, can casually claim connections to!”
Following suit, Song Yu added, “I grew up hearing stories about the heiress of the Gu family. She is incredibly smart and has excelled in various fields since she was young. You, Gu Dai, are good for nothing. How dare you claim to be her?”
Nodding in agreement, Wang Lan chimed in, “Exactly, we just mentioned you might be delusional, and you still won’t admit it!”
Gu Dai looked at Wang Lan and Song Yu as if she were looking at two fools.
Just as Gu Dai was about to speak, a voice rang in her ear—Song Ling’s. “Gu Dai is not lying.”
In disbelief, Wang Lan and Song Yu turned their gaze to Song Ling, asking in astonishment, “Why are you helping Gu Dai deceive us?”
Song Ling refuted, “I’m not deceiving anyone. Gu Dai is indeed the heiress of the Gu family.”
Wang Lan let out a scornful laugh as if she had heard a delightful joke, “If Gu Dai were the heiress of the Gu family, why wouldn’t she have mentioned it in the past three years? This only proves that Gu Dai’s surname being ‘Gu’ is purely coincidental and she is not the Gu family heiress.”
Song An had long since grown tired of listening to Wang Lan and Song Yu. In a cold voice, he interrupted, “Has Song Ling ever lied since he was a child? Daidai is the heiress of the Gu family!”
With an emotionless tone, Gu Dai addressed Wang Lan and Song Yu, “Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. We will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.”
The certainty in Gu Dai’s voice made Wang Lan and Song Yu began to doubt themselves.
Could Gu Dai really be the heiress of the Gu family? Why didn’t she mention it during her three years with the Song family?
If she had revealed her true identity, they wouldn’t have mistreated her those three years. They wouldn’t have involved Jiang Yue, claiming that her status was a better match for Song Ling than Gu Dai’s.
A thought suddenly flashed across Wang Lan’s mind, and she blurted out, “You married into the Song family without revealing your identity. Were you trying to steal our family secrets?”
Gu Dai’s eyebrows rose in surprise. She glanced at Song Ling, recalling how he had similarly accused her at the cemetery. She couldn’t help but marvel inwardly; Wang Lan and Song Ling were truly like mother, like son, even their suspicions echoed each other..
