Matriarch Gu took out the will again and wrote Qiao Nian’s name down in the space reserved for the heir of her inheritance.
Zhao Qian lowered her gaze, hiding the disappointment in her eyes. Very quickly, she put on a bright smile.
Matriarch Gu carefully placed her thumbprint on the will before putting the document back in the cabinet. Seeing that Zhao Qian was still smiling, Matriarch Gu knew that Zhao Qian was alright with her decision, and was even more satisfied with her.
"Qian Qian." Holding onto Zhao Qian’s hand, Matriarch Gu said gently, "Nian Nian is a sensible girl. She will have to act as a pillar for the entire Gu family in the future. I believe that she will definitely take good care of everyone in the Gu family. She won’t mistreat you."
Before Zhao Qian could speak, Matriarch Gu continued, "I’ve already prepared your dowry since you were a child. Don’t worry, Grandma won’t let you down either."
Zhao Qian’s eyes turned red. She shook her head vigorously and said in a choked voice, "Grandma, I hope that you can live to a hundred years old. I want to stay by your side for the rest of my life. I don’t mind having no assets at all. I also believe that Second Sister-in-law can take good care of the entire Gu family!"
Matriarch Gu knew that Zhao Qian was speaking from her heart. This child had only known one thing since she was young—how to be filial. She knew very little of anything else.
While she was still alive, she had to help Zhao Qian find a good husband.
Qiao Nian heard only Zhao Qian’s comments about her, and heard nothing after that. She walked directly downstairs.
After taking a few steps, she saw Gu Zhou walking out of his room. He stood in the corridor, his face pale.
"I was just looking for you." Qiao Nian quickly walked towards Gu Zhou and said, "Wait a little while."
As she spoke, Qiao Nian entered her room and took out a medicine bottle. Just as she was about to pass it to Gu Zhou, she heard Gu Zhou speak.
"How did your blind date go?"
Qiao Nian froze for a second. She knew it. She had been wondering how Chen Qing had known that she was at the cafe today when she had left the house alone.
So Gu Zhou had arranged for someone to keep an eye on her. Look, now he was here to interrogate her for her crimes.
"Why are you looking for me?" Gu Zhou looked down at Qiao Nian. His gaze fell on her cherry-red lips. Somehow, he couldn’t move his eyes away.
