Bab 116: Now or Never (2)

"Miss Yuyao, this way." One of the bodyguards led her to a massive house she hadn't stepped into in years. 

Gu Yuyao hadn't set foot in Beijing for a long time. In fact, she hadn't seen this grandfather of hers for years since her brother's burial. She didn' have many memories of him except for that one time; when the old man had to save her from her mother's beating once. 

Her mother's grief was too much that the moment she saw Gu Yuyao returning home from school, she started to get hysterical and cursed her own daughter for Gu Zihao's misfortune. 

The old man, being the patriarch of the family had allowed her to live with him for months with very few interactions between them. Even now, Gu Yuyao wasn't sure why the old man was looking for her when she'd been fine living alone for a long time without their help.
