Chapter 316: The Benefactor

In Gu Lingzhi's heart, Chuxue was his grandson Gu Qianshan's benefactor.

The last time at the hospital, if not for this Miss, his little grandson would have been injured even if he didn't die; but with a bowl thrown by her, the little grandson suffered only a fright, not a single scratch on his skin.

To speak of it, he felt ashamed; originally regarding the last incident, he had intended to properly thank her once he finished his affairs, but the young Miss had repeatedly refused, and he, having to go to Haishi on a business trip, had set the matter aside.

He never expected that upon meeting again, his little grandson had been saved by her once more: "Comrade Liu, I am truly so grateful to you; if not for you, this time, that child Qianshan... ah, I don't even know what to say. I had originally thought to visit your home when I had the time, but I didn't expect that I had just returned from Haishi when this incident occurred."

Gu Lingzhi was not lying; he had risen from a technical post to his current position, and the matter of leading a team to Shanghai for study had been decided long ago.

Truly, every family has its own difficult scripture to chant; he had an old revolutionary father above him, but his health was not very good, spending half the year in the hospital; although someone was specifically responsible for his care, the family members could not simply let go.

But his wife had died early, and his only son had injured his leg while on a mission; originally, given his rank, he could have hired a nanny, but his daughter-in-law's background was poor, and he feared people would seize a handle against him, so he had to give up.

The daughter-in-law had to care for her husband and also care for her son; when she had free time, she also had to run over to the retirement home to look after the old man.

So after he went to Haishi on a business trip, the daughter-in-law was unable to find time to come to the Liu family.

Chuxue had saved the person without thinking of any reward, after all, it was truly a matter of raising a hand: "Comrade Gu, it is good that the child is fine; anyone encountering this matter would not ignore it; it's just that my fate with your little grandson seems deep, as we have met twice in such a short time."

Looking at the sky: "Very well, since you have arrived, I should return, otherwise the family will worry."

At this moment, Li Xiaoya had just comforted her son; coming out, she heard these words, and without a second thought, knelt directly before Chuxue: "I truly don't know what to say; from now on, you are my own younger sister, Qianshan is your own nephew; I am truly so grateful to you. If Qianshan had met with disaster, I could not have lived on; you have saved the lives of us mother and son twice."

Chuxue was startled: "Oh, sister, what are you doing? Get up quickly."

Li Xiaoya, however, insisted on bowing her head, saying with a crying voice: "Sister, if not for you, my son would probably have died in the mountains with no one knowing."

Hearing her words, Chuxue's eyes also involuntarily filled with tears; what she said was not wrong; those two people had originally intended to throw the sack into that cave and go to collect the person only after receiving news from this side.

If not for her encountering them, even if not attacked by wild beasts, he would probably have been in fear and anxiety; who knows what would have happened to the child by then.

Chuxue was strong; after Li Xiaoya bowed her head once, she forcefully pulled the person up: "Very well, then, let it be as you say; from now on, you are my own older sister, and the little one is my own nephew; you must absolutely never kneel before me again, it is too frightening."

Yet as soon as she said this, Li Xiaoya, who had been crying, suddenly laughed: "I have decided to recognize you as my sister; I truly like your character."

The few exchanged a few pleasantries again; only after the Gu family learned Chuxue's address this time did they let her leave.
