Not long after, Gu You Shen came back.

He seemed rushed. When he arrived in the living room, he immediately took off his hat and mask. But as soon as he looked at the girl in front of him, the light in his eyes extinguished.

“Third brother, look, big brother’s daughter has returned,” Gu Zuo Qing spoke up.

He was very excited. Although no one knew how genuine this excitement was, he indeed appeared genuinely happy. He had done everything he could for this so-called big brother’s daughter.

Gu You Shen looked at Ning Xia Xia without saying a word.

This… couldn’t be big brother’s daughter.

Ning Xia Xia froze upon seeing Gu You Shen.

Her originally nervous and shy personality seemed to be amplified infinitely.

She clenched her fists, letting her nails dig into her palms, the pain helping to keep herself clear-headed. Oh my god, this is the famous actor, Gu You Shen!!! Could the famous Gu You Shen be her uncle?!

In an instant, she felt like she was in a fantasy.

This was the most outstanding actor in the entire entertainment industry!! He was a superstar!

“Hello,” she sweetly greeted.

Gu You Shen didn’t even spare her a second glance. Instead, he looked at Gu Zuo Qing and calmly asked, “Second brother, how can you be sure that this girl is big brother’s child? She doesn’t resemble big brother or sister-in-law at all, and there’s no evidence either.”

As soon as he spoke, it was clear that he didn’t believe it.

As soon as he spoke, he expressed his refusal to trust.

Ning Xia Xia felt a little ashamed and lowered her head.

She had brought the ring, so why didn’t they believe her?

Gu Zuo Qing knew about this adopted younger brother’s obsession with Gu You Xi. He took out Ning Xia Xia’s personal information, as well as the ring she had brought, handing them to Gu You Shen together. “Take a look.”

He took them, his expression remained indifferent.

Ning Xia Xia, 21 years old. Graduated from vocational high school…

Haha.

He roughly looked through the rest of the documents and then closed the file, looking at the ring. It was indeed sister-in-law’s ring, with her name “FU” engraved inside; this couldn’t be faked.

However, this girl couldn’t possibly be big brother and sister-in-law’s child.

He had a gut feeling.

“Ning Xia Xia? Your grades aren’t very good?” Gu You Shen asked.

Upon hearing this, Ning Xia Xia realized that it was because of her poor grades that the famous actor Gu You Shen didn’t think much of her. These top-tier families indeed care most about academic achievements!

“Well… my grades are indeed not good because…” she tried to explain.

Unexpectedly, she was ruthlessly interrupted.

“Do you know what it means to be Gu You Xi’s daughter? You’re supposed to inherit the Gu family’s business, as well as the National Physics Research Institute. Didn’t Second Brother tell you when he brought you here?” Gu You Shen calmly explained.

She wasn’t here to be a pampered young lady.

She was brought back to rescue the stagnant state of the Gu family.

If this Ning Xia Xia was truly big brother and sister-in-law’s child, she wouldn’t be so timid and bashful. He had also looked at her personal information, and it simply didn’t match up.

Did second brother deliberately bring a fake niece back?

Just to make her a puppet and inherit the Gu family and the physics research institute?

No way!

Upon hearing this, Ning Xia Xia looked at Gu Zuo Qing. She couldn’t understand anything Gu You Shen was saying. Inherit the Gu family? Inherit the physics research institute? Could it be some kind of inheritance ceremony??

“You Shen, she’s still a child. Is it necessary for you to be like this?” Gu Zuo Qing was dissatisfied with his attitude. Saying too much might scare her.

“A child? Gu You Xi was already a world-renowned young physicist by the age of 21,” Gu You Shen said calmly and indifferently..
