Chapter 283: Chapter 159: Returning Home (Second Update)
Having said that, the Yao Family had no choice but to agree.
The next day, the Yao Family came to Bishui Alley early to pick up Gu Jiao and Gu Yan.
Little Monk also wanted to go.
He mainly wanted to be with Jiaojiao, as it was a rare day off.
The Yao Family already considered Little Monk as their own child, and gladly took him along.
The family sat in the carriage of the Marquis Residence, the horse hooves clattering on the road.
Little Monk was excited, sitting next to Gu Jiao, nodding and shaking his head.
“Why are you so excited?” Gu Jiao asked him.
Little Monk, swinging his short legs and tipping his head, answered, “This is my first time visiting relatives!”
With this remark, he stunned the people in the carriage.
The monk had always lived in the temple, he had never visited any relatives. Although he had a family after descending the mountain with Gu Jiao, he still didn’t have much family to visit.
Little Monk was very intelligent and organized, causing Gu Jiao and the others to seldom treat him like a regular child.
It was only at this moment that Gu Jiao realized that Little Monk had been longing to integrate into normal life, just like the ordinary children in the village.
Gu Jiao looked at the eager anticipation in the little guy’s eyes, gently rubbing his bald head.
“But, I don’t have any hair, will Grandma not like me?”
Little Monk largely followed Gu Jiao’s family titles, calling anyone Gu Jiao recognized.
Although Gu Jiao had never called the Yao family mother, she was willing to be close to her. Little Monk could feel it, so he was also close to the Yao Family.
When the Yao family said they were going to visit their grandmother today, Little Monk took a special look at Gu Jiao’s expression. She didn’t mind calling her grandmother, Little Monk guessed he could do the same.
The Yao family warmly said, “No, Little Monk is cute even without hair.”
Little Monk beamed proudly, “I also think I’m cute!”
Gu Yan’s lips twitched, he took out a tiger head hat and put it over Little Monk’s head: “Put on your hat, aren’t you afraid of getting cold!”
Little Monk bristled, “You’re just jealous that I’m younger and cuter than you!”
Gu Yan chuckled, “You’re not cute, I think you’re pitifully unloved.”
Little Monk stomped his foot and put his hands on his hips, “I’m not! I am very loveable!”
The two bickered all the way until they reached the Yao residence.
It was the first time Gu Yan had visited his maternal family’s home. Although there had been conflicts between the Yao family and their family, they had never shown it to Gu Yan, so his impression of the Yao Family was not bad.
Aided by Little Monk’s encouragement, he even had a hint of expectation for this family visit.
The Yao family had sent someone to their family with a message last night. Early in the morning, Yao Yuan and his wife, from the He Family, were waiting at the door.
They were shivering from the cold, holding hot-water bags under their clothes.
As soon as they saw the carriage coming over, they quickly came forward before the carriage had stopped.
“Sister!” Yao Yuan exclaimed with excitement.
After the carriage stopped, the maid came down first, and then helped the Yao family down.
The Yao family greeted her brother and sister-in-law, then glanced back at the carriage.
From the carriage, a small bean sprang out first. Yao Yuan and his wife of the He Family were taken aback. Then, Gu Jiao and Gu Yan came down one after the other.
Everyone present could guess that Gu Jiao and Gu Yan were the Yao family’s twins, but that cute little bean…
Could it be the Yao family’s second child?
Yao Yuan looked at his sister sharply.
Yao called out to Little Monk, “Monk, call him Uncle, and call her Aunt.”
Little Monk crisply called out, “Uncle! Aunt!”
The wife of the He family was a bit stunned. Could this be her sister-in-law’s second child?
Yao Yuan had talked to the Yao family yesterday, and knew that this must be the child that Jiaojiao brought back from the mountain, named Monk.
“Little Monk is really well-behaved.” Yao Yuan praised Little Monk.
However, the wife of the He family was still immersed in the shock of seeing Yao Family.
She was only three years older than the Yao family, and they were both stunning beauties. After more than ten years, the Yao Family was still charming, showing little trace of time, while the face of the He family was already full of wrinkles.
Time seems to only do its work on others.
What the He family was most concerned about was Yao Family. After seeing Yao, she felt inferior. Only after that, she seriously looked at the children of Yao’s family.
Little Monk had already run ahead to look at the stone lions at the entrance. The wife of the He family looked at Gu Yan and Gu Jiao.
Gu Yan inherited the Marquis’s beauty, clear and handsome. As for Gu Jiao…
The wife of the He family looked at the birthmark on her face, and stuttered, “This is… Jin Yu?”
Yao Family said, “This is Jiaojiao.”
Yao Yuan had visited the Marquis Residence yesterday, knew about the affair of swapping the two daughters, and also knew that Gu Jiao had not yet returned to the mansion, and was still living in a small mansion outside the main house.
