Chapter 169: Frustration to Death

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Zhicheng was overjoyed and immediately called Steward w.a.n.g, instructing him to prepare a lavish family banquet that would surely please his granddaughter.

After giving his orders, Gu Zhicheng’s attention shifted to Gu Xiaonan, who was sitting at the threshold.

Repairing the relationship with his elder daughter depended on this grandson.

The question of whether he was an illegitimate child or not was never as significant as the matter concerning the Island of No Return.

As long as their family’s power was formidable enough, outsiders would not dare to say much.

With a self-proclaimed benevolent smile, Gu Zhicheng beckoned to Gu Xiaonan, “Xiaonan, come over to Grandpa’s side. It’s uncomfortable to sit over there.”

Gu Xiaonan turned his head to look at Gu Qingluan for confirmation.

When he saw her nod, he got up and respectfully called out, “Master Gu.”

Gu Zhicheng’s smiling face suddenly stiffened, “You should call me Grandpa.”

“But didn’t you say I can’t call you Grandpa?” Gu Xiaonan blinked his big eyes innocently, pretending to be clueless.

Gu Zhicheng quickly glanced at Gu Qingluan and awkwardly explained, “That was Grandpa speaking out of anger. You are my own grandson, so, of course, you should call me Grandpa.”

Gu Xiaonan oh-ed in a slow and hesitant manner, “I thought Grandpa didn’t like me.”

“No, I don’t dislike you! Why would I dislike you? 1 like you very much.”

Gu Zhicheng took a jade pendant from his waist. “Time was short, and 1 couldn’t prepare much. This jade pendant is a coiled dragon jade I’ve been wearing for many years. It can gather spiritual energy and help with cultivation. It’s a rare and precious item. Consider it as a gift from your Grandpa, and in the future, Grandpa will prepare more gifts for you to make up for the past few years.”

Xiao Bai, nestled in Gu Xiaonan’s arms, stared at the coiled dragon jade with shining eyes, squirming restlessly.

Gu Xiaonan gently comforted the little creature by patting its head.

Seeing Xiao Bai so excited, it seemed that the coiled dragon jade was a valuable item.

Since the old man wanted to give it to him, he couldn’t refuse it.

Gu Xiaonan grinned and took the coiled dragon jade, saying in a childish voice, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

On the side, w.a.n.g Shi’s face turned a bit green.

This coiled dragon jade was a treasure of the Gu family. Previously, the family head had promised it to Lingxue!

Now, it was unexpectedly given to this illegitimate child!

Gu Xiaonan noticed the intense gaze coming from the side and turned his head, coincidentally locking eyes with w.a.n.g Shi’s envious expression.

He immediately showed an anxious and uneasy look, like a young beast, and glanced at Gu Zhicheng. “Grandpa, it seems like this old lady doesn’t like me. 1… maybe I shouldn’t accept it.”

Saying that, he tried to hand the coiled dragon jade back to Gu Zhicheng.

Gu Zhicheng turned his head and warned w.a.n.g Shi with a stern look, then smiled and pushed Gu Xiaonan’s hand back. “You’re mistaken. How could your Grandma not be pleased? This is just a little something from me, and you mustn’t refuse.”

With that, he glanced obliquely at w.a.n.g Shi, “Madam, don’t you think so too? After all, the child has grown so big, shouldn’t you, as his Grandma, offer a gift when you meet him?”

w.a.n.g Shi was irritated by Gu Xiaonan calling her “old lady”, and she was so angry that her entire body trembled. Following that, she received a warning look and a threatening remark from Gu Zhicheng. She felt deeply wronged!

Since her daughter entered the Qiankun Academy, no one in the Gu family dared to upset her!

And now, the old man was treating her like this for the sake of this illegitimate son!

w.a.n.g Shi nearly left without caring about her dignity.

But, she was not a young girl, nor was she someone who had never been wronged.

She believed that the old man had his own plan for doing this. At this moment, she couldn’t damage his dignity.

w.a.n.g Shi suppressed the anger in her heart and forced a smile, joining Gu Zhicheng in his act, and then sent a maidservant to fetch a precious item from her room to give as a gift.

All the things she picked were top-notch.

And the things she selected for children were intended to be given to her own future grandson.

But now, they were going to be given to this illegitimate child!

She secretly resented this and put on a show of being good-natured, making it impossible for anyone to find fault.

Gu Zhicheng was quite satisfied with her performance.

Gu Xiaonan was also quite pleased, especially when he saw w.a.n.g Shi’s expression of suppressed jealousy. That feeling was truly satisfying!

To provoke her, Gu Xiaonan received the coiled dragon jade back and then raised his adorable little face to ask, “Grandpa, Xiao Bai really likes this jade.. Can I give it to him?”
