Gu Bei looked at Hai Hua and Shi Nian and said, “We watched that movie on our way here yesterday. We didn’t know, at the time, the poor child was really our daughter. Now that I think about it, my heart aches.”
So saying, he reached out and thumped his chest right over his heart. “This small town gave my daughter her last bit of stability. The people here are our benefactors. Let me know when you two have decided which development projects to invest in. No matter what it is, you have to bring me on board. I want to contribute to this town which had taken care of my daughter for so many years. ”
Hai Hua had been worrying about her aunt’s daughter since she came to this town; she hadn’t been in the mood to look at the town projects. She looked at Shi Nian, hoping he had more news to give on that matter.
Shi Nian stated, “We’ve talked to the town’s leaders and trade representatives. We’ve pretty much figured out the basic problems. This place had been developed before, so the foundation is pretty good. And coupled with the simple and honest folks here, this town definitely has great prospects. If Mr.
Gu is willing to invest, that would naturally be fantastic.”
Gu Bei frowned and stared at Shi Nian. “You’re Yun Nan’s husband?” he asked.
Shi Nian nodded. “Yes, we’re married. We just haven’t had a wedding yet, so our family and friends don’t all fully know about it yet.”
Gu Bei nodded, but that wasn’t what he was asking. “Yun Nan is Xiao He’s adopted daughter, so she’s our granddaughter. She has to call us Grandpa and Grandma! What did you just call me? Mr. Gu, was it?”
‘ What? Oh! Shi Nian came to a sudden realization. He rubbed the back of his neck and gave a silly chuckle, feeling quite embarrassed.
Hai Hua jabbed Shi Nian with her elbow. “Hurry up and call him Grandpa! Do you want Yun Nan to deny you as her husband?”
Shi Nian hurriedly shook his head and said, “Anything you say, Grandpa.”
Gu Bei’s expression softened slightly. Hai Hua laughed and teased, “Then that makes me one generation above you! Shi Nian, you have to call me aunt now!
Hahahahaha!”
“Sure, Auntie!” Shi Nian easily acquiesced.
Hai Hua was stunned and recoiled as if she was burnt. “No, no, don’t call me that! I’m not used to it; that makes me sound so old!”
Xiang Yang, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu, who were listening in on the whole conversation, laughed their heads off. They didn’t expect Hai Hua to be so playful yet inexperienced.
