Chapter 286: Tang Yunfan’s Daughter?
To be specific, Gu Ning could be Tang Yunfan’s daughter! Although there were many people who resembled each other in this world, Gu Ning didn’t want to ignore the possibility that she might have a close connection with the Tang Family.
Leng Shaoting was sensitive and immediately sensed Gu Ning’s small emotional changes. In fact, he had the same thought. Does Gu Ning really have a relationship with the Tang Family?
“But what?” Gu Ning couldn’t help asking. Although she knew that it was a little impolite, she was eager to find out what he wanted to say.
“He’s been occupied by his career throughout his lifetime. He never got married, or had a kid. Otherwise, no one would doubt that you’re his daughter,” Master Tang said.
Occupied by his career and never got married, or had a kid?
Gu Ning had mixed emotions now. She wasn’t sure whether her guess could be correct. According to Gu Man’s account, Gu Ning’s biological father had disappeared in an accident, which meant that he could be dead already, but what if he had survived? If he had survived, why didn’t he come back for Gu Man? It had been 18 years.
However, Gu Man also told her that when they had met each other, the man had completely lost his memory. In that case, it was possible that the man had regained his memory after he had survived but had forgotten the memory of when he had been with Gu Man! It sounded insane, but was indeed possible.
Gu Ning thought that maybe Tang Yunfan didn’t marry, or have children not only because of his career, but also because he had already found but lost his love and couldn’t accept anyone else. Those were just Gu Ning’s guesses, but no matter what, she made up her mind to investigate it. She didn’t want Gu Man to wait for 18 years in vain.
“Well, I want to meet this uncle after what Grandpa Tang has told me. I’m curious how closely we resemble each other. Actually, I was born in a one-parent family and my mother brought me up with great effort. I never knew what my father looked like,” Gu Ning said and felt sad.
Speaking of family, Leng Shaoting was slightly unhappy too. He had met both of his parents, but had lost them when he had only been 10-years-old. And now he could only look at the photos of his parents.
Hearing what Gu Ning said, Master Tang felt a deep sympathy for her. He hadn’t known that Gu Ning was born in a poor family, and unconsciously wanted to take care of her.
All of a sudden, an idea dawned on Master Tang. “Why don’t you treat my second son as your foster father? I’ve always wanted to have a granddaughter like you!”
Master Tang looked at Gu Ning with anticipation. He was being serious, and wasn’t joking.
Master Tang’s bodyguards, Tang Wen and Tang Wu, understood Master Tang’s affection towards Gu Ning, but to their surprise, Master Tang was willing to foster Gu Ning. In the past, they would probably have thought that it totally changed Gu Ning’s fate, because she suddenly became a super-rich heir from being a dirt poor girl. However, after Gu Ning had saved their master’s life, they believed that this girl wasn’t simple, and that it wasn’t a bad thing to have a close relationship with her. All the rich people valued their health above money.
Gu Ning understood that Master Tang wasn’t just saying it, but she didn’t agree immediately. “Grandpa Tang, I think that it’s a big deal and that we should consider your second son’s opinion.”
And she should consider it as well. If she closely resembled another man, but the man wasn’t her biological father, she was reluctant to have a closer relationship with him. She cared about Gu Man’s feelings. If Gu Man saw a man who greatly resembled her love, but they weren’t the same person, she would be hurt. Gu Man would inevitably meet the Tang Family if Gu Ning accepted Tang Yunfan to be her foster father.
On the contrary, if Tang Yunfan was Gu Ning’s biological father, Gu Ning was more than willing to let them meet each other again. As long as they still loved each other, Gu Ning was happy to see her family reunite.
Gu Ning didn’t want Gu Man to be alone for the rest of her life. She was still young and she should live her own happy life. In addition, Gu Ning was leaving for the capital soon, and she would be apart from Gu Man. If Gu Man had a reliable man to keep her company for the rest of her lifetime, Gu Ning would of course agree.
“Well.” Master Tang felt that it wouldn’t be easy. He understood his son’s personality so well, and knew that Tang Yunfan would probably disagree, but if he insisted on doing it without Tang Yunfan’s approval, Gu Ning would be embarrassed. Master Tang was a little disappointed.
Seeing that, Gu Ning smiled and comforted him, “If you really want to have a granddaughter like me, please take me as your granddaughter, and I’ll regard you as my grandpa too!”
Hearing that, Master Tang’s eyes lit up at once. “Ha-ha, I think that’s a good idea!”
“Are you studying in a high school or a university now?” Master Tang asked Gu Ning.
“I’m a senior in high school, and I’m going to attend the National College Entrance Exam in half a year,” Gu Ning replied.
“Which university do you want to attend? How about City B? I can take care of you if you study in City B,” Master Tang said. Since he already took Gu Ning as his granddaughter, he naturally treated her like his own granddaughter.
“She’s going to the capital, and I’ll look after her.” This time, before Gu Ning could answer Master Tang’s question, Leng Shaoting opened his mouth first. He seized Gu Ning’s hand, as if she was leaving him for City B. Although Gu Ning had no intention to study in City B, Leng Shaoting was afraid that she would change her mind because of Master Tang.
Gu Ning understood that Leng Shaoting didn’t want to lose her, so she held his hand in hers to show her determination. “Thanks, Grandpa Tang, I already made the decision to go to the capital,” Gu Ning said.
“Fine, but if you’re free, do come to City B and have fun. I’ll pay the bill!” Master Tang added.
“Sure, I will,” Gu Ning answered.
After they chatted for a while longer, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting said good-bye to Master Tang.
Seeing Gu Ning leaving, Master Tang suddenly felt lonely for no reason.
When they walked out of the tea house, Leng Shaoting asked, “Do you want to investigate it?”
Gu Ning understood what Leng Shaoting was talking about. “I’ll handle it myself, but don’t worry, no matter what the result is; I’m determined to go to the capital.”
Leng Shaoting was slightly disappointed that Gu Ning declined his help, but he didn’t insist. Gu Ning was determined to go to the capital after all, and he didn’t need to worry that they couldn’t be together in the future.
After that, they continued to have a tour around the antique street. In the end, Gu Ning accidentally picked up two real antiques. One was worth a million yuan, while the other was worth around eight million yuan.
