This is the second day Xia Yinian followed Gu Lingqian to return to the Gu Family.
Yesterday, they returned a bit late, and Gu Lingqian’s Grandma, Old Madam Gu, had already rested, so they did not et.
Old Master Gu Qingyang is a very stern elderly, commanding respect without anger, making people dare not to approach.
He didn’t have any special feelings towards Xia Yinian, not warm, but not too cold either, just neutral.
Actually, the one who insisted on fulfilling the marriage contract wasn’t Gu Qingyang, but Old Madam.
It was said that it was Old Madam who took a liking to Xia Yinian’s birth chart initially.
So today, when Old Madam saw Xia Yinian, she was extrely delighted, holding her hand continuously without letting go, just like a loving Grandma.
Xia Yinian’s Grandma passed away early, and in the Xia Family, she was never valued by anyone.
She had never enjoyed such warmth in the Xia Family as she did from Old Madam.
Spending the whole morning with Old Madam felt like she really gained another dear Grandma.
Throughout the half day’s interaction, she almost forgot the real purpose of her coming to the Gu Family.
Old Madam was really good to her, even better than her own biological grandfather and father!
"There is a banquet tonight, I had Ah Qiu prepare so gowns for you, pick one yourself later."
After lunch, Old Madam wanted to rest. Before going back to her room, she kept on instructing.
"Keep the clothes you like for yourself, and have the ones you don’t like sent away; I will have Ah Qiu send you new clothes tomorrow."
"Old Madam, I have enough clothes," Xia Yinian said hastily shaking her head.
Old Madam has already given her too many things today, more than she could use, and she felt unworthy.
"Call what?" Old Madam frowned slightly, seemingly a bit unhappy.
"I..." Xia Yinian bit her lip, finding it hard to change the way she addressed her on the spot.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to change, but she felt a bit guilty, as after all, she wasn’t truly Gu Lingqian’s girlfriend.
But in the end, under Old Madam’s warm gaze, she softly called out, "Grandma."
Old Madam, feeling fully satisfied, went back to her room to sleep.
Just about ten minutes after Xia Yinian returned to her room, Ah Qiu ca with a few maids, bringing a heap of items.
Gowns, shoes, jewelry, hair accessories, everything included.
"Miss Niannian, shall I help you try on the clothes?" Ah Qiu was very enthusiastic.
Xia Yinian felt a bit uncomfortable: "No need, I’ll handle it myself, I... am used to doing things on my own."
"But..." Ah Qiu was a bit distressed; Old Madam had personally instructed her to take good care of Miss Niannian.
"It’s really not necessary, thank you Ah Qiu, you go take care of Old Madam, I’ll call you when I’ve decided."
Ah Qiu hesitated for a while, then finally took the maids and went downstairs.
Only after the room door was closed did Xia Yinian breathe a sigh of relief, fall on the bed, close her eyes, and rest.
Old Madam Gu was so kind, yet she was deceiving her; if one day she discovered that her future grand-daughter-in-law was fake, would the elderly lady cope?
After lying on the bed for half an hour, Xia Yinian still got up and went to try on the clothes.
Regardless, since she had chosen this path, she had to play her role well.
Fortunately, that scoundrel Gu Beicheng had really disappeared from her life.
At least these past two days, there was no news of him whatsoever.
She finally began to slowly recall so scenes from that night.
