Xiaoxiao held her mother's hand and looked up at the butler timidly.
"Hello, Grandfather Butler."
Her polite and obedient appearance was rare.
The butler responded repeatedly. His eyes were red as he said with heartache," Miss, you're so thin. You have to eat more. We don't know what you like to eat, so we prepared some according to Madam and Master's preferences. If it doesn't suit your taste, just say it and we'll make it again."
"Sorry to trouble you." Mother Lu smiled and nodded.
They walked towards the living room. The old man, who was already sitting on the main seat and waiting anxiously, couldn't sit still when he saw his grandson enter.
"Why are you the only one back? Where's your sister?"
Lu An pouted. No matter how arrogant he was, he did not dare to be impudent in front of the old master.
"Grandpa, what's the hurry? They're walking slowly behind us. Why are all of them only concerned about my sister and not me?"
The old man gave him a sideways glance." It's already good enough that you'd stop. Otherwise, I'll definitely take care of you."
Lu An shivered.
The sound of footsteps came from outside. The old man immediately stood up impatiently and tidied his clothes. Then, he quickly sat down and put on a dignified appearance. However, he was afraid that he would scare his good granddaughter later, so the expression on his face relaxed a lot.
This old man, who had been all-powerful in the business world for most of his life, was actually nervous when he saw his granddaughter. No one would believe it if he told others.
But it was indeed the case.
"Dad!"
The old man nodded at his son and daughter-in-law. His gaze fell on the skinny and obedient granddaughter standing beside his daughter-in-law. When he saw Xiaoxiao's little face, his eyes widened and he suddenly stood up. His hands that were placed by his side trembled slightly.
"This…this…"
Father Lu quickly patted Old Master Lu's back to calm him down." Dad, don't be agitated. We've brought Xiaoxiao back."
"Okay, okay, okay."
The old man's lips trembled as he repeatedly said yes. He was so excited that he could not say anything else.
Although the old man was old, he still walked with strength.
He quickly walked to Xiaoxiao's side and squatted down, revealing a kind smile under the little girl's somewhat afraid eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid. I'm your grandfather."
"Why are you so skinny? Did you not eat? Are you hungry? You must be exhausted from the journey, right?"
"Our Xiaoxiao has suffered. It's good that we're home. Once we're home, Xiaoxiao won't have to suffer anymore."
He trembled as he hugged the little girl tightly in his arms. In fact, he did not even need to do a paternity test to be sure that this was his granddaughter.
Xiaoxiao didn't know why her grandfather was crying. She obediently let the old man hug her. She pursed her lips and raised her hand to carefully and timidly wipe away the tears on the old man's face.
"Grandpa, don't cry."
Her voice was soft and coy as she comforted him. The old man looked at the little girl and nodded repeatedly.
"Sigh! Grandpa isn't crying, Grandpa is happy."
His voice was unprecedentedly gentle, causing Lu An, who was beside him, to be dumbfounded.
How could his grandfather be so kind? She even cried!
The sun didn't rise from the west today. It was gone.
Hearing the little girl call him grandpa, the old man's heart felt warm.
He finally had a granddaughter, a biological granddaughter!
She had such a cute little appearance and big watery eyes. She was also so obedient and looked so similar to his deceased wife.
"Ah, our Xiaoxiao is so obedient!"
Xiaoxiao blushed in embarrassment after being praised. She was no longer afraid of this kind old man and looked at him with her big, clear eyes.
The old man's heart softened under her gaze.
"Our Xiaoxiao is really beautiful, especially her eyes. They're exactly like your grandmother's. They're so lively that it's as if they can talk. She's a good child, but her body is a little too thin. In the future, she must eat well and strive to be fair and chubby. That way, our Xiaoxiao will look even better."
Gu Lu 'an, who was sitting idly by the side and waiting for his meal, glanced at Xiaoxiao a few times. He thought to himself that his grandfather was indeed old and his eyesight was not good anymore.
He really could not imagine how good-looking Xiaoxiao would be if she was raised fair and plump. Anyway, she looked ugly now, and at most, she was pleasing to the eye. He had reservations about raising his sister good-looking.
Old Master Lu held Xiaoxiao's hand and talked for a long time. When the food was served, they began to eat. Other than Lu An, the whole family was basically adding food to Xiaoxiao's bowl.
"Xiaoxiao, eat more of these ribs. They're especially tender and delicious."
"There are no more bones in the fish meat. Xiaoxiao, don't worry. It won't get stuck in your throat."
" This egg soup is delicious. Xiaoxiao, eat more and drink a glass of milk after you're done. You'll grow taller in the future."
Compared to Xiaoxiao's side, where the three adults were showing their concern, Lu An's side was cold and cheerless.
It made him angry. Were all adults nowadays so double-standard?!
"You guys are too much. You only care about your sister and don't care about me!”
Three pairs of eyes on the table looked over in unison. Father Lu picked a chicken wing and threw it into his bowl with a fake smile. It looked a little scary, and Lu An shrunk his neck without any backbone.
"Come, Daddy will take care of you!"
The old man narrowed his eyes and picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks.
"Anan seems to have gained weight recently. Don't just eat meat. Eat more vegetables to balance your nutrition."
Lu An was speechless.
Why did I have to say such a thing!
Under the pressure of three pairs of eyes, Lu An pitifully ate the vegetables and chicken wings in his bowl with difficulty.
Sob, sob. He had really become a pitiful child whose father did not love him.
Oh... and a grandfather!
Little cabbages ~ The ground is yellow ~ Two or three years old ~ No mother ~
Lu An silently selected a song for himself.
"Brother, eat!"
Xiaoxiao picked up a big and fragrant pork rib from the plate and placed it steadily in Lu An's bowl.
Lu An glanced at the little girl, and Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly at him.
" Hmph, who wants you to pick it up?" Lu An was stubborn, but he still stuffed the ribs into his mouth.
Mama Lu glared at him and continued to put food into Xiaoxiao's bowl." Xiaoxiao, don't worry about him. Eat more. He won't starve himself."
Lu An rolled his eyes again.
Xiaoxiao looked at the food in her bowl and felt a little distressed. She could not eat anymore…
Fortunately, the three adults seemed to think that it was too much and did not continue to give Xiaoxiao food. Once she was full, Mother Lu took her upstairs to change.
She brought Xiaoxiao to one of the rooms upstairs and opened the door. Then, she held Xiaoxiao's hand and walked in.
"Xiaoxiao, this will be your room from now on."
Xiaoxiao looked at the room, which was much bigger than the wooden house she used to live in. The luxurious and dreamy decorations inside were beyond her wildest dreams. She was so shocked that her mouth turned round.
"It's…Xiaoxiao's?"
Xiaoxiao accepted this reality in a daze. It felt as unreal as a dream.
" Yes, the whole room is for Xiaoxiao. The toys on the bed are for Xiaoxiao. There's also the desk over there. When Xiaoxiao goes to school, this will be your special place to keep your books. And this cloakroom…"
She introduced everything in the room to Xiaoxiao one by one, and her gentle words soon made her gradually put down the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart.
She opened the wardrobe and saw all kinds of beautiful clothes and dresses inside. Xiaoxiao could not even look at them.
However, what made her feel strange was that there were some clothes inside that she could not wear now.
Mama Lu walked over and took off a few of the small clothes. She pulled Xiaoxiao to sit on the bed with reddened eyes.
"I've prepared these clothes for you since you were young. I've prepared new clothes for you every year on your birthday. I hope that when you come back one day, you can wear the clothes I prepared for you at any time."
Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the beautiful clothes that had been neatly arranged in the wardrobe since she was young. Her nose was sore, and her eyes were misty. She could not see the things in front of her clearly.
It turned out that…someone had always been thinking about her. She was not an unwanted child.
"Mommy's baby, thank goodness you're back.”
Mother Lu held her little daughter in her arms. Other than her own family, no one knew how devastated she was when her little daughter went missing. She fell seriously ill and even wanted to die.
Fortunately, her family's concern and care helped her survive. All these years, they had never given up on looking for their younger daughter. As long as there was any news about her, no matter how busy they were at the time or even if the news was not accurate, they would go and take a look. However, they were mostly disappointed.
Even so, they still did not give up any news, afraid that they would accidentally miss out on their only daughter.
This time, when Xiaoxiao's news reached them, the whole family was feeling uneasy. It was only when she saw Xiaoxiao that she was certain that this little girl must be her daughter.
The paternity test was just a formality to settle everything.
