A"an and i have been living in the Gu mansion for two weeks now. True to her words grandma Gu enrolled A'an in the new school and got me a tutor to help brush me up while she supervise and monitor my progress while also instructing me herself occasionally.

It was not difficult to understand what was being shown to me for I once was the young miss of the Jin family, although that feels like a lifetime ago.

Apart from grandma Gu there was no other gu in the mansion; grandma Gu said old man Gu went for a business trip and will be back today and as for the rest of the Gu's they are scattered in one Gu family home or the other but that everyone will be back for a banquet or something, I've forgotten the details.

Currently I'm with grandma Gu in one of the living rooms as we go through the delivery that she just received; different boxes of jewelry from a well know brand.

All these are beautiful grandma, I said as I touch them.

I'm glad you like them, for they are all yours.

What!; I shrieked. I was about to say something when the doors opened and in walk the patriarch of the Gu family.

I immediately stood up and gave a deep bow as I greeted him.

Honey you are back, I heard Grandma Gu say as she stood up and walked to him, kissing him on the cheek.

Yes, I am back dear, now who is this young guest of yours, I don't think I've met her before.

Well dear, this is leilei and leilei, this is old man Gu but you can call him grandpa.

I bowed again in greeting, I raised my head to see Old man Gu giving his wife glances that I can only interpret as what's going on.

Child, why don't you take these to your room; the old woman gestured to all the pieces of jewelry on the table.

I looked at the table in disbelief while also thinking of what to say to the old woman concerning the generous gifts and how i can't possibly take them only for me to turn and see her give me a little wave as she left the room with her husband holding hands.
