Chapter 283 Girl, you are my granddaughter
As soon as Grandpa Bai came out of the courtyard, he saw Su Niannian and Gu Nan's group at the door.
Her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Her eyes were slightly red.
Seeing her grandfather's appearance and their sudden visit, Su Niannian guessed that her identity had probably been discovered by him.
Chief Lu walked over to Old Master Bai and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't scare little Su," Chief Lu said in a low voice.
Grandpa Bai also realized that if he was too hasty, he might frighten his granddaughter.
He quickly took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Until the group approached.
Grandpa Bai looked at Su Niannian and called out, "Girl."
Su Niannian smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa Bai."
"Hello, Chief Lu." Su Niannian greeted the two men with a smile.
Gu Nan also came over and greeted them.
"Why don't we go inside and talk?" Zhou Qishan suggested from the side.
After all, they came in a car this time, so they probably didn't attract too much attention just now.
But now, some villagers who don't have to go to work have spotted the car, as well as these few people who suddenly arrived.
When Zhou Qishan and Gu Ningning went to call for help, they attracted some attention.
The two old gentlemen have special statuses, especially Chief Lu, so it would be better to talk inside the courtyard.
In Kaoshan Village, most people's courtyards are surrounded by low walls or fences covered with vines, offering no privacy whatsoever.
But Gu Nan's house was a red brick and tile house, and the courtyard wall was made of solid bricks.
There is still a certain degree of privacy involved.
“Yes, come in and we’ll talk about it.” Mrs. Gu said from the side.
Su Niannian gestured for them to proceed.
Chief Lu tugged at Old Master Bai, telling him to calm down and go inside to talk things out.
Only then did the group enter the courtyard.
Gu Nan moved chairs for the two old men to sit down.
Chief Lu plopped down in his chair, while Old Master Bai patted the chair, inviting Su Niannian to sit down.
"Please sit down, there are chairs here." Su Niannian invited Gu's mother to sit down as well.
Then, Grandpa Bai sat down in the chair, his eyes fixed on Su Niannian.
His eyes were full of joy and love, and it seemed as if he was looking for the shadow of his daughter through Su Niannian.
I never imagined that I would never have the chance to see my daughter again.
But thankfully, I still have a granddaughter.
And she's such an outstanding granddaughter.
If Chu Xia knew how outstanding her daughter is now, she would probably close her eyes in peace.
"Girl, come here, I have something to tell you." Old Master Bai beckoned to Su Niannian.
Gu Nan looked at Su Niannian, and everyone else's gaze also turned to Su Niannian.
It seemed like everyone was waiting for Grandpa Bai to say something to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian walked over slowly with a smile on her face.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" Su Niannian asked softly.
"Girl, I have something I want to tell you. This may be a bit unexpected for you, but everything I'm about to say is true," Old Master Bai said with a loving expression.
He revealed a smile, though the smile contained a hint of bitterness.
Su Niannian nodded, waiting for Old Master Bai to continue.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on these two.
"Girl, your mother is my daughter, my own daughter." Old Master Bai looked into Su Niannian's eyes and said to her.
Then he reached out to hold Su Niannian's hand.
Su Niannian neither resisted nor refused, letting those wrinkled hands hold hers.
"My mother? You mean, you're my maternal grandfather?" Su Niannian asked, pretending to be hearing this for the first time.
"Yes, my daughter, Bai Chuxia."
"Bai Chuxia is your mother." Old Master Bai continued, his eyes reddening as he spoke of Bai Chuxia's name.
My nose started to feel a little sore.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but gasp.
At that moment, Zhou Qishan instantly understood.
No wonder Su Niannian is so gifted in medicine; she is actually the granddaughter of this great master of traditional Chinese medicine.
So it turns out she's from a family of doctors, which makes it no surprise.
Gu Nan was also surprised to learn that Su Niannian had such a grandfather.
Although Gu's mother had just heard Chief Lu say that the old man in the Tang suit had come to recognize his granddaughter, she was still somewhat surprised to hear him say it himself.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? My mother's name is Du Qiangwei," Su Niannian said slowly, her voice calm.
Having been reborn, Su Niannian naturally knew that her mother was Bai Chuxia, but her mother had changed her name to Du Qiangwei when she married her father.
Su Niannian could only pretend to know nothing at this point, feigning ignorance.
"Water chestnuts float on the green pond, and summer orioles sing a thousand songs among the roses. Du is my beloved's surname. Your mother hid her name so that I wouldn't be able to find her." Old Master Bai finally couldn't hold back his tears.
It slipped from the corner of my eye.
Those are lines from Du Mu's poem, and roses are also a flower that Bai Chuxia really likes.
The people sent by Bai Xuesong followed Su Niannian's lead and found Bai Chuxia. They also learned that Bai Chuxia had once used the alias Du Qiangwei.
Therefore, Grandpa Bai was not surprised by Su Niannian's words.
"Are you saying that my mother, Du Qiangwei, is your biological daughter, Bai Chuxia?"
"Then I'm your granddaughter?" Su Niannian asked, feigning surprise.
"Child, you are my own granddaughter, more precious than gold." Old Master Bai held Su Niannian's hand, applying a little pressure.
Tears streamed down her face.
Looking at Grandpa Bai's serious expression, Su Niannian couldn't help but feel a soft spot in her heart.
The time when we recognized each other in our previous life was much, much later than now.
My rebirth has changed so much, and it has also brought forward the time for me to reunite with my family.
In my previous life, after my maternal grandfather recognized me, he treated me with great love and cherished me like a precious treasure.
I also miss this elder very much.
"I know this is a bit sudden, and I understand that you can't accept it right away."
“But you really are my granddaughter,” Grandpa Bai said, his eyes welling up with tears again.
It slipped from the corner of my eye.
Su Niannian felt very sorry for him and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of Grandpa Bai's eyes.
"Grandpa." Su Niannian called out as she looked at Grandpa Bai's deeply lined face.
