...

Ye Nian furrowed her eyes as she heard this comment from Elder Madam Gu's mouth. She knew this very well about who she was talking about.

With whom her face will match except her father? Of course, her mother and Su Xi's personality was somehow reflected in Ye Nian too.

But still, she pretended to be surprised by her remark as she replied, "About whom are you talking, Great-grandmother?"

"I have met a lady before you. You might be aware of her too, as she is a known personality. Su Family heir, Su Xi, who is always trending in the news." Elder Madan Gu's tone was clearly a sarcastic one.

As her daughter, Ye Nian doesn't like her at all because she could understand that this lady doesn't like her mother even a percent.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan knew where the talks were going. This question was going to arise very soon, about the mother of his children and he was prepared to face it as well.

"Grandmother, I think you have guessed it quite well. Nian does match her as Su Xi is none other than her mother." 

"So, you mean to say that Su Xi is my great-grandchildren's mother and your ex-wife?" Elder Madam asked with a straight face as she faced Gu Yan and gave him a glare.

But he was their blood and used to this type of glares most of the time.

"Yes! But why don't we talk about this in front of your grandfather? He shouldn't miss meeting his great-granddaughter, right?" Gu Yan intentionally diverted the topic because he has no interest in listening to any ill words about Su Xi.

But also, because she is the mother of Ye Nian and he was very well aware that Ye Nian won't tolerate it too.

Elder Madam stepped back gracefully as she looked at the stairs behind her and the trio saw a man appearing down, with an aura which made Ye Nian gulp a little bit in fear.

The temperature of the room dropped a little down because Elder Master Gu was here to see his grandson and Great-granddaughter, who had come for the very first time.

"Greetings grandfather." Gu Yan bent a little bit in respect and Ye Nian did the same.

As she wasn't' aware of the cultures in the Gu family, she simply followed her father's lead.

"I think you could have brought Gu Nian a little more earlier than you have brought her now." The sternness in his voice was making Ye Nian feel goosebumps inside her clothes.

She looked at her father who did not look afraid at all. Instead, he answered him back with the same coldness.

"You wanted me to bring my daughter to meet you all guys or just to bring her to the trap that you guys have laid?" Hearing his grandson's words, Elder Master Gu's eyebrows knitted.

Seeing the conflict and the cold war between these two giant men, Elder Madam Mo stepped in and gently patted her husband's back.

"I think we all should go and have dinner first. I have asked the cook to make all your favorite dishes, Ah Yan. Nian, come with me, I'm really sorry, I had no idea about your taste but do let me know, what do you like? So from the next time, I shall ask my cook to prepare it for you.'' Although Ye Nian didn't want to answer, she somehow opened her mouth to reply.

"Anything. I feel my dad's taste is the same." 

"Girl, don't hesitate. This is your house only. No need to be polite with us. Just be yourself." This time, Elder Master Gu spoke up, to which Ye Nian got to nod her head.

The family made their way to the dining space where Elder Master Gu sat on the head seat with Elder Madam Gu on his left and Gu Yan on his right. 

Ye Nian took the seat beside her father and sat with him, to at least have the same warmth in such a tough situation.

'This place looks more like a deadly place rather than a family mansion.' This thought crossed her mind because she always witnessed a friendly environment in the Su family.

Never ever, they had such a dinner where they hardly wanted to have it.

Her stomach was kitted as she took a sip of her soup, served to her.

"Yan, how is the business going on? Are the shareholders and clients happy?" The Elder Master suddenly asked.

"Yeah. Everything is going smoothly and we even got our European clients in our favor. They are ready to invest in our business as long as we prove them a strategic plan." 

"Well, that is good. Gu Nian, what are your interests? You are already seventeen and I think you will soon turn eighteen. Any plans for the future?" This made Ye Nian a little nervous because she did not wish to discuss her plans with them.

But to her surprise, Gu Yan interfered this time and came to her rescue, "I think Nian is still young and she should decide it on her own rather than putting any pressure on her shoulders of the business."

As a father, he was aware that she is not ready to handle business and maybe, not even made for the business world. 

That is why he has no wish to force his children into something that they don't desire and don't want to do something from their own heart.

But it looked like Elder Master Gu and Elder Madam Gu weren't pleased by what Gu Yan said. They had expected Ye Nian to be interested in business and handle the Gu family after Gu Yan.

"Ah Yan, she is a Gu. One day, she has to follow your footsteps and take over Gu business as she is the only child of yours and the next generation." Through these words, he made it clear that he has no hint of who she actually was.

Her two brothers are known to him and not about her mother as well.

Gu Yan took a deep breath and then answered them, "I don't think so. I have two other children as well. One is already a nineteen years old boy and the other is still ten." 

This made the Elder Master frown because for now, he was making them meet only one of his children!?

But why!? They had no idea about it.

"Then where are the others? Why is only Nian with you? Shouldn't you also make them meet us and interact with us? This way, we all can talk as one family." 

The Elder Master felt that there was something that his grandson was surely hiding because there was no way that he wouldn't make them meet his other kids if they were living with him.

But there was a limit to Gu Yan's patience. He looked straight into his grandfather's eyes. The gentleness was not there anymore and replaced with a frosty layer.

Seeing this side of her father, Nian felt the need to interfere because her father will surely last on her grandfather if she doesn't speak before him.

But he doesn't give her any chance to speak.

"Meet others? family? Which family are you talking about? The family which is ready to kill others for their own motive and money? I think you should think twice before thinking if we are a family or just a convenience." Gu Yan held nothing.

His anger was also a point because he can't listen to their nonstop allegations and tantrums right?

At first, she remembered how Grandmother was ready to put bad words out for Su Xi and now, It comes on his daughter as he wasn't interested in forcing each of the kids.

And for the very first time, he felt that Su Xi had given her children a lot of freedom and kept them free of pressure from the outside world.

Ye Nian kept her hand on her father's hand which was below the table, asking him to calm himself down.

Gu Yan stared back at Ye Nian and patted her shoulders, before passing another glare to the Elder Master, who was boiling in anger as his pride was hurt.

From the very beginning, he wanted to give them the respect that they deserve from him. They are his elders and this is the reason he wants to cherish them as their blessings.

Everything hr has right now, is because they have handed them this business as his responsibility

To his dismay, they were acting like spoiled and mean parents, trying to interfere in their life.

But Elder Madam Gu knew that this was just the starting of the topic as she added fuel to the fire.

"Gu Yan, I think you should tell your grandfather about the mother of your children."
