It seemed like a long time had passed. Suddenly, the old lady's nose felt sore. She could no longer maintain her serious expression. She slowly revealed a kind smile and responded loudly, "Hey!"

The old lady waved at Gu Jinhe: "Come here, come to me, let me take a good look at you."

Second Aunt patted Gu Jinhe's hand gently, let go of the hand she had been holding, stepped back to Gu Chenxiang's side, and looked at her with a gentle smile.

Gu Jinhe felt a little confused. The old lady did not behave like this when they first met in her previous life. Although she didn't know why, she suppressed her doubts and did as she was told.

After Gu Jinhe stood in front of the old lady, she raised her hand and gently stroked her face. Her expression seemed to be full of emotion and regret, which finally turned into a relieved smile. As she looked at Gu Jinhe's eyes becoming brighter and brighter, she slowly spoke in an inaudible voice.

"My Miaomiao is finally back."

Although the old lady's voice was not loud, everyone in the hall was looking at the two of them at this moment, and they all clearly heard what she said through their thoughtful expressions.

Feeling the warm hands caressing his face and looking at the kind and gentle old lady, Gu Jinhe was caught off guard for a moment. She should have been a serious and almost rigid person, but at this moment her expression was like an ordinary old grandmother looking at her beloved granddaughter.

At this moment, not only Gu Jinhe, but also the people sitting and standing below were in disbelief. Among them, only the old lady's sons were surprised for a moment and then quieted down. After all, everyone knew how much the old lady doted on Gu Jinhe during the three years she had been in the Gu family twenty years ago.

Only Gu Jinkuan and a few others had never seen the old lady treat them like this. For a moment, they were unable to reconcile the deep-rooted impression of the old lady in their minds, as if they were the expressions of two different people.

After all, she was once the person in charge of the huge Gu family. The old lady recovered quickly, but her expression was not as serious as before. She held Gu Jinhe's hand and said in a low but firm voice: "It's good that you are back. From now on, the Gu family will be your backing. As long as you don't violate the principles, as long as I am in the Gu family, you can do whatever you want in this capital."

This is actually a promise to Gu Jinhe!

As long as she didn't do anything against her principles, Gu Jinhe could do whatever she wanted, whether in the Gu family or in Beijing.

The old lady's promise carries a lot of weight. You have to know that there are four major families in the capital, and the Gu family is one of them. The family is like a towering tree with luxuriant branches and tangled roots. The Gu family is a famous and prominent family that has established a firm foothold in the capital for hundreds of years. A stomp of their feet would make the whole world tremble. For ordinary people, such a promise is like stepping into the upper class circle.

But for Gu Jinhe, who is a member of the Gu family, it just expresses the importance of Gu Jinhe in the old lady's heart, and no one can offend him.

Gu Chenliang thought of Gu Feiwan, whom he had offended today, closed his eyes and fell silent.

Gu Jinyu, who was standing behind him, looked at the harmonious atmosphere between the grandfather and grandson, and felt sorry for his sister. They were both granddaughters of the Gu family, so why could Gu Jinhe be so favored by the old lady, while his sister had never received a smile from the old lady, and was confined to copy scriptures when she made a mistake. He couldn't understand why.

Gu Jinhe didn't expect that when she had the chance to do it again, not only did the old lady's attitude towards her change, but she also made such a promise. However, this was not the time to think about these things.

Holding the old lady's hand, Gu Jinhe smiled brightly: "I will never let grandma down." This was her answer to the old lady. She would not do anything to disappoint the old lady, and it was also a promise she made.

The old lady understood her implication, and her smile grew brighter. She turned to look at the people in the hall and said to Gu Jinhe, "Grandma will introduce you to your uncles." The old lady pointed to the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat on the right and said, "This is your second uncle. You can go to him if you have any problems in the future. Standing behind him is your eldest brother Gu Jinkuan. If anyone bullies you, go to him to help you."

Gu Jinhe nodded to the two of them, "Second Uncle, Big Brother."

The father and son also smiled and nodded in agreement.

The old lady pointed at the person sitting below the second uncle and said, "This is your third uncle. He is the busiest person on weekdays. It is harder to see him than to see me. In his eyes, he will not interfere in family affairs as long as there is no big mistake. Behind him is your second brother Gu Jinrong. Let him take you to meet people in the circle in the future."

"Third uncle, second brother." In her previous life, it was her second brother who introduced her to people in the circle. It turned out that it was the old lady's instruction.

The old lady pointed to the person sitting to her left and said, "This is your fourth uncle. You don't need to look for him if you have any problems. The person standing behind him is your third brother Gu Jinhong. If he wants to take you out to meet any friends in the future, if they are not serious, beat him."

Without waiting for Gu Jinhe's reaction, Gu Jinhong grinned at her, waved and said with a grin: "Hello, Sister Miaomiao~"

Hearing this, Gu Jinhe pursed his lips and smiled, then called out, "Fourth Uncle, Third Brother."

The old lady raised her eyes to look at Gu Jinhong, who instantly regained his composure and nodded slightly to Gu Jinhe in response with a serious expression.

The old lady retracted her gaze and looked at the person sitting below the fourth brother, and said in a light tone: "This is your fifth uncle, and behind him is your fourth brother Gu Jinyu. Your courtyard is the farthest from their home, and you don't meet often on weekdays. Just respect him." As soon as these words came out, the hall fell silent again.

There was a hint of smile on Gu Chenliang's lips, and no one could tell what was going on. However, Gu Jinyu's expression was extremely ugly. The corners of his mouth twitched, and when he noticed his father's gaze, he lowered his eyes and did not refute a word.

Gu Jinhe looked at Gu Chenliang and happened to meet his gaze. He smiled at her gently, and Gu Jinhe also smiled: "Fifth Uncle, Fourth Brother."

Gu Chenliang was still able to smile and nod calmly, and agreed with the old lady's words: "Mother is right, but if Jinhe has any problems in the future, you can also come to Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu will definitely help you."

Gu Jinyu lowered his head and did not respond.

After the old lady introduced the people present, she stood up, took Gu Jinhe's hand and said, "Okay, now that you've met everyone, let's go back." After that, she took Gu Jinhe away without waiting for everyone to react.

After leaving everyone in silence for a few seconds, Gu Jinyu couldn't help it and turned away without saying goodbye. From his back, one could tell how angry he was.

Seeing this, Gu Chenliang frowned almost inaudibly, stood up and said to everyone with a smile: "Jinyu is young and not very stable. I am sorry to make you laugh."

Gu Jinhong glanced at the others calmly, and seeing that none of them had any intention of speaking, he smiled in his heart. Everyone in the Gu family knew what kind of person Gu Jinyu was, arrogant, unruly. If it weren't for the Gu family behind him, he would have been put in a sack and beaten countless times.

And there is Gu Feiwan, who is of the same bloodline, spoiled and willful, looking down on others. She always lets people call her the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and she thinks everyone knows her little thoughts. The word stupid is just written on her face.

I don't know how Uncle Five and Aunt Five educated them. They are so vicious and stupid, and they don't seem like the Gu family members at all.

Finally, it was the Second Aunt who spoke up: "Jinyu is still young. If he is taught well, his temper can be changed. We are all family and we should not have different opinions."

The smile on Gu Chenliang's lips froze. He almost said that Gu Jinyu had a bad temper. He lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you for the reminder, second sister-in-law. I have a video conference to attend later. I will go back first. Ask someone to call me at the dinner." After that, he turned and left.

After he could no longer be seen, Gu Jinhong shook his head left and right and said, "I've been standing for a long time, and my legs are stiff. I'll go back and stretch my legs first."

After the third and fourth brothers' families left, only the second brother's family was left in the hall. The three of them were speechless for a while.

Finally, Gu Chenxiang stood up and said to his wife, "What you said just now is right. We are one family and should not have different opinions. Jinhe is the eldest daughter of the Gu family, my niece. She has finally come back, and we should all accept her well. She is the only one left in the first house, and we are the only relatives. I think Jinhe should be a calm and sensible child, otherwise mother would not have the attitude she had just now. She should treat Jinkuan the same way in the future."

Second Aunt nodded and agreed: "I know. I was worried that Jin He would be weaker if she didn't grow up in the Gu family. I didn't expect that when I saw her at the door just now, I knew that she was definitely not a weak-willed child. She is really a wonderful person."

Just now the old lady gave some comments on her sons and grandsons. Those who don’t understand can just take it as a simple introduction, while those who do understand will understand the implied meaning. Gu Jinhe obviously understood the meaning of the old lady’s words, but he was able to smile at everyone without showing any expression. It would be best if he could do this.

Gu Jinkuan tilted his head to look at the sweet-scented osmanthus potted plant placed in the corner of the hall, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I know grandma thinks highly of Jinhe. I originally thought that grandma would treat her the same way she treats us. After all, she has been absent for twenty years. If we want her to quickly integrate into this circle, we can only teach her again. With grandma's temper, I thought she would teach her almost strictly. I was also afraid that Jinhe would not be able to accept it when she first returned to the Gu family. I didn't expect that she was not what I thought at all. It was as if she really grew up in the Gu family. She stood in this hall and faced us calmly. I didn't see that she was nervous. She was very calm and indifferent, which was in line with the identity of the eldest daughter of the Gu family."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chenxiang said to his wife, "We need to re-examine Jin He's living environment over the past twenty years to see what kind of people she has come into contact with. Her personality is not developed overnight. She would not have developed such a personality without someone's careful guidance."

Second Aunt frowned: "Are you afraid?"

Gu Chenxiang raised his hand to stop her from finishing her words: "Jinhe is not only the eldest daughter of the Gu family, her identity is especially important, and there can be no mistakes."

Second Aunt nodded when she heard this: "I understand. There are too many people here today. I will arrange for someone to go to Jiangcheng tomorrow."

At this time, Gu Jinkuan said, "Mother, I think we don't need to check."

"Why do you say that?" Second Aunt asked curiously.

Gu Chenxiang also looked at his son. Gu Jinkuan glanced at the two of them, then turned his gaze to the potted plants in the corner and said, "I believe grandma."

Second Aunt was about to ask, but Minister Gu patted Gu Jinkuan on the shoulder, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, he said: "You are right." Then he changed the subject and said: "But we still have to investigate what needs to be investigated. This is not only responsible for the Gu family, but also to really understand Jinhe's life in the past twenty years. If she is doing well, we should be thankful. If not, we should be doubly good to her in the future."

Gu Jinkuan said: "She is my sister, I should be nice to her."

Second Aunt glanced at the father and son and said with a smile, "Okay, don't stand here and talk. Let's go back and talk about it. I have to go back and choose a new gift. The ones I chose before may not be suitable for Jin He."

The father and son looked at each other and smiled.
