Chapter 168: Last Name
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yunbao walked to Old Master Xiao’s bed and held his hand. After closing her eyes, golden light surrounded the two of them.
She did not enter someone else’s illusion like Purple Eye. She only used her energy to continuously enter Old Master Xiao’s body and called his name over and over again. Old Master Xiao would naturally return after hearing it in the illusion.
With the support of energy, he could quickly see through the illusion. As long as he understood that this was an illusion, he would leave sooner or later.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Old Master Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the others in the room in confusion. “What happened?”
Second Uncle quickly pushed the masters away and rushed over. He cried loudly in front of the bed, “Big Brother, you’re finally awake!”
This cry was simply earth-shattering. Second Uncle was even more excited than Xiao Jing, his biological son. The master who had yet to leave at the door was very embarrassed. He did not expect Yunbao to really wake Old Master
Xiao up. This comparison confirmed that he was a liar.
He quickly pushed open the door and ran out.
The others surrounded the door and sighed at Yunbao’s ability. They praised,
“She’s indeed a disciple of the Soaring Cloud Sect. She has such high magic power at such a young age.”
Yunbao, who was praised, smiled. Gu Sen looked at his niece’s smile and smiled too. His Yunbao was indeed a little angel.
Amidst Second Uncle’s tearful narration, Old Master Xiao finally understood what had happened. He said to Xiao Jing, “I didn’t expect you to come back and save me.”
“You don’t have to thank me. This is the credit of your granddaughter,” Xiao Jing said coldly.
Old Master Xiao looked at Yunbao, who was standing not far away. He had already agreed to Gu Teng and Xiao Jing’s matter, so he was even happier to hear that his granddaughter had saved him.
He called Yunbao over and said, “Grandpa’s good granddaughter, what’s your name?
Yunbao knew that this was her grandfather’s obedient reply. “My name is Gu Yun.”
Old Master Xiao instantly became unhappy and said, “You’re wrong. You should be called Xiao Yun.”
Hearing this, Gu Sen was unhappy and interrupted, “Yunbao was born with the surname Gu. In the future, her surname will still be Gu.”
The Xiao family had never doted on Yunbao. It was really fantasizeable to think that they would change Yunbao’s surname now. Gu Sen decided to quickly tell his family about this and not let the Xiao family succeed.
He had to fight for his granddaughter’s surname. Even if Old Master Xiao was afraid of the power of the Gu family, he would not let his granddaughter take the Gu family’s surname.
However, Old Master Xiao had lived for so long and was well-versed in the art of speaking. He smiled and said, “This must be the young master of the Gu family. It’s my fault for not being able to visit my in-laws. However, Yunbao is our Xiao family’s granddaughter. Of course, she has to take our Xiao family’s surname. Otherwise, she doesn’t sound like the eldest daughter of the Xiao family.”
Gu Sen understood what he meant. He did not have a good impression of Old Master Xiao. He had always despised the poor and loved the rich. He did not want his sister to be his daughter-in-law. He only stuck to her after knowing her identity.
Now, he was talking about Yunbao’s surname. In the meaning between the lines, if Yunbao’s surname was not Xiao, she would not be considered the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Did he really think that their Gu family cared about this name?
If it were Gu Sen, he would be too embarrassed to say anything. He had never cared about his granddaughter’s life or death for so many years. Now, he was fighting for the last name.
Gu Sen picked up Yunbao and said, “Yunbao, come home with Uncle.”
With that, he was about to walk out when Xiao Jing stopped him. He persuaded softly, “My father hasn’t come to propose marriage.”
Actually, it did not matter if Xiao Shan agreed to this marriage or not. Even if he objected to it, he still wanted to marry Gu Teng. The reason why he insisted on coming home was to let everyone know that he and Gu Teng had obtained the approval of their parents to wash away Gu Teng’s reputation of eloping.
Otherwise, Xiao Jing would not have wanted to implicate the Xiao family and cause so much trouble for no reason.
For the sake of his younger sister, Gu Sen could only endure it. He stood at the side with a straight face and did not move again.
Xiao Shan did not hear what his son said and thought that the Gu family had lowered their heads. He said to Xiao Jing happily, “It’s good that you’re back.
When is the wedding?”
This was what Xiao Jing wanted to say. He said, “The Gu family has already agreed to the marriage. I came back this time to invite you to propose marriage.”
Xiao Shan frowned when he heard the proposal. In his opinion, a wedding was fine, but there was no need for a marriage proposal. She was not a virgin anymore. She had even given birth to a child. Why did she have to cause so much trouble?
Xiao Shan only agreed to this marriage because of the Gu family behind Gu Teng. However, he still looked down on Gu Teng..
