What if My Brother is Too Good?-Chapter 197
Huo Wu remained on the hot search list for several days, before her popularity slowly waned.
Today was the fourth day after the Golden Calf Awards, and Huo Wu had just finished her first class in the morning. Once the class ended, she was just walking out of the classroom when a middle-aged man who was about more than 60 years old and wearing a military uniform walked towards her.
The man’s posture was ramrod straight and he walked with the wind in his steps. The years had left deep marks on his face, but at the same time, it had also given him an incomparable charm. He looked about the same age as Huo Yuan, but probably because of his profession, he appeared more stern and serious than Huo Yuan, exuding an aura of death.
Huo Wu searched her memory several times but couldn’t pinpoint any information about this person who blocked her way. Thinking that the old man had mistaken her, she smiled good-naturedly and said, “Could you excuse me, please?”
The middle-aged man stared at her. He didn’t get out of the way but asked cautiously, “Are you Huo Wu?”
Such an iron-boned, stalwart soldier was now cautiously questioning her, making things a little awkward between them. But even though Huo Wu found it a bit ridiculous at the moment, she couldn’t laugh at all.
It was because she saw the expectation and solemnity in the man’s eyes.
Huo Wu nodded. “Yes, I am Huo Wu.”
When the middle-aged man heard her reply, a smile appeared on his face. This smile softened his blade-like sharp outline, and with a gentle smile in his eyes, he said, “I’m Gu Mingkai. I came here to talk to you. ” In fear of Huo Wu misunderstanding, he quickly added, “Talk about your descent.”
Huo Wu was stunned.
Although she had never met him, she had heard of his name.
The reason was none other than because his name was too famous.
Gu Mingkai was one of the 25 active admirals, commander of the Air Force, and an excellent soldier who had achieved numerous military feats.
He came to talk to her about her descent?
Huo Wu replied without much hesitation, “Okay.”
It happened to be lunchtime, so Huo Wu and Gu Mingkai found a small restaurant with a quiet environment near the school and prepared to talk while having lunch.
The lady boss of the small restaurant brought them the menu, and Huo Wu pushed it to Gu Mingkai. Gu Mingkai immediately pushed it back, saying, “You can order the food. Just order the dish you like.”
Huo Wu subconsciously asked, “What about you?”
Gu Mingkai said, his eyes tinged with a smile again, “I’m not picky. I love everything.”
Huo Wu gave a ‘hmm’ and ordered a few home-cooked dishes that were very popular with the general public.
While waiting for the dishes, Gu Mingkai kept looking at Huo Wu.
Her delicate features, clear eyes, and outstanding temperament showed that the Huo family had raised her well in the previous years. He smiled in relief and with some regret before slowly speaking. “You must be very curious about why I came to see you today?”
Huo Wu lifted her face and waited silently for his next words.
Gu Mingkai quietly brewed in his thoughts for a moment before uttering carefully, “Actually, I’m your grandfather.”
“Grandfather?”
Huo Wu had indeed been trying to guess Gu Mingkai’s identity in her heart, but she never expected that this person in front of her would actually claim to be her grandfather.
Gu Mingkai was not surprised by the shock and suspicion Huo Wu exhibited. He nodded and repeated with a smile, “Yes, I am your biological grandfather.”
Huo Wu didn’t doubt the truth of his words in the least. Given his current status and power, he must have confirmed her relationship with the Gu family long before he came to find her.
Huo Wu lowered her eyes and said faintly, “What do you want to do now that you have found me?”
Eighteen years ago they chose to abandon her, so why would they come to her now?
Gu Mingkai knew that Huo Wu had grievances about her abandonment back then. If Gu Wei hadn’t abandoned this child at the beginning, there wouldn’t have been the matter of switching children afterwards, and she wouldn’t have to suffer so many unfounded rumors and malicious gossip today.
Previously, the matter of her birth was splashed all over the Internet. Although it was suppressed afterwards, it still caused her a lot of harm in the end. However, Gu Mingkai was very grateful for this storm. If not for the online turmoil, he might not have found out that Huo Wu was a descendant of their Gu family.
