Chapter 1066: Chapter 1066: Seeking the Truth 11

With the heart, but already lost courage and faith.

"We were wrong, we really were wrong~" Mother Gu wept, "My daughter~ suffered right under my watch, I watched my adopted daughter bully her, insult her, even try to kill her, and I, just stood there numb like an executioner."

Grandma Gu cried tears of sorrow, since He Zhilan had disappeared for more than a decade, she too had suffered from insomnia for all those years.

Each time she closed her eyes, she seemed to still hear the little girl calling her ’grandma’ in a tender voice, her chubby little body rolling on top of her, and then giggling mischievously, telling her where she went to play with Brother Lan Lin today, what she did with the older boys in the yard today.

Gu Zhilan is the treasure of the Gu Family, an irreplaceable treasure to everyone.

"Comrade He." Grandma Gu slowly stood up, called out to Father He, and then, under everyone’s gaze, slowly knelt down towards the direction of Father He, "Our Gu Family really don’t know how to thank you, if it weren’t for your kindness in raising Miss Zhilan, if it weren’t for you, taking the trouble to raise her, educate her, and achieve her current success, if it weren’t for you, perhaps, as this fellow villager said, Miss Zhilan would have been sold to somewhere unknown, where would she have had her current achievements?"

Grandma Gu said with tears, "Our Gu Family thanks you for giving Miss Zhilan a second life, thank you, for all these years, for taking care of her on behalf of the He Family, this grace, our Gu Family cannot repay."

This kneel, Grandma Gu, is kneeling for the kindness of Father He, which enabled He Zhilan to have today’s achievements, to be more fortunate than other girls in the village, to attend college, to have her current social status.

This kneel also represents, as an elder, as the grandmother of Gu Zhilan, the biggest, and most sincere gratitude and appreciation she can offer.

The Gu Family from the capital represents power, the Gu Family can almost call the wind and summon the rain. As the old lady of the Gu Family, she could stir the capital with a stomp of her foot, yet she could kneel down to a farmer for the sake of the treasure of the Gu Family.

Father He was terrified, quickly pulled the elderly woman up, and hurriedly explained, "It’s Zhilan herself who is capable, who can study, from the moment she entered my He Family’s door, she has been a child of my He Family, although I, He Zhongguo, have no money, am poor and uneducated, but my own children, as long as they can study, the He Family will do whatever it takes to support them, He Zhilan was bought by me, but in my heart, she is just like my daughter, she is my child."

Grandma Gu is an elder of Father He, her kneel, Father He felt could not be owed by him.

To Father He, he only did what he thought was the right thing.

What others think, Father He cannot control, but in his heart, girls and boys, are all his children, even if bought, they are still children of the He Family, being a father, he should love his own children.

The Gu Family and Lan Family were already able to confirm that He Zhilan is their Gu Zhilan, and Father He also understood, the arrival of He Zhilan’s biological parents might mean, he was about to lose a child, maybe, He Zhilan, would need to change her name to Gu Zhilan.

In the afternoon, the light rain indeed turned into a pouring rain, Father He kept the families of Gu Family and Lan Family at the He Family.

He Da took the opportunity when Father He was showing the guests around the house to slip out to the convenience store and made a call back to He Dongxue in the capital. Upon hearing that the families from the Gu and Lan Families had found their way to the old home, He Dongxue was so upset she nearly cried.
