Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1825: Treating Each Other with True Feelings 38

He Teng smiled at Little Tuanyuan’s innocent words, not taking them to heart. In his eyes, Little Tuanyuan was more sensible than most kids. Ever since he was a child, he loved dressing up, always choosing nice clothes and only going out when he looked stylish. Like today, knowing they were going to see his grandfather, he emptied out his little wardrobe and tried on everything before finally not being very satisfied with this new outfit.

This vanity of Little Tuanyuan doesn’t seem inherited from He Teng or He Zhilan, and no one knows which gene mutation caused this odd habit.

He Teng thought that although Little Tuanyuan was young, he was mature for his age. Maybe, while other kids were still studying, Little Tuanyuan might already be fond of a girl, and then he might marry early too. If he marries early, He Teng would be pleased; he might even live to see his great-grandchild!

The more He Teng thought about it, the more pleased he became. Although Little Tuanyuan often despised his female classmates, he was quite popular among teachers and peers at school. Thus, He Teng wasn’t worried at all about his grandson not finding a granddaughter-in-law one day.

After entering, they mentioned visiting Gu Hengyuan, and the guards didn’t inquire much, politely leading them to a place similar to a reception room.

Sitting together with He Teng, Little Tuanyuan waited for the guards to bring the person over. Meanwhile, his eyes were filled with curiosity, looking around everywhere. He whispered to He Teng, "Grandpa, this place is different from the prison I imagined. It’s so bright here, and the police officers are so kind."

Although He Teng was born a farmer, he wasn’t ignorant.

A special prison is naturally different from an ordinary one. The inmates here aren’t ordinary criminals, and they were treated kindly because they were visiting Gu Hengyuan.

Nowadays, anyone with a bit of sense knows that although the Gu Family is no longer in its prime, it ended a political war back then. The relationship between the Xing Family and the Gu Family is clear to anyone with half a brain.

However, such matters weren’t for He Teng to discuss with Little Tuanyuan.

This prison, unlike ordinary ones, is just as Little Tuanyuan described—a bright room. Outside, a guard knocked on the door and said, "Uncle Gu, someone is here to see you."

Inside, Gu Hengyuan slowly put down his book, took his glasses off his nose, and smiled at the young guard at the door, "Is it my wife?"

Usually, when Mrs. Gu visited, the guards would say, "Uncle Gu, your wife is here to see you."

Gu Hengyuan thought it was odd that the guard used different wording this time.

"No, it’s an elderly person and a child." The guard smiled, "The person who notified us didn’t mention their identities, and I haven’t seen them. Uncle Gu, do you want to meet them? If not, you can refuse."

"An elderly person and a child?" Gu Hengyuan was puzzled and didn’t know who would bring a child to see him, but he didn’t refuse, feeling a bit curious.

"I’ve heard from the person who came that the child is particularly adorable," the guard added, noticing Gu Hengyuan wasn’t responding and sensibly stopped speaking.

The guard only led them to the outside of the building, where his colleague took over and escorted the visitors in.

Gu Hengyuan didn’t rush to ask who the visitors were. As he walked, he speculated who among those he knew might come all the way here with a child to visit him.

"Mr. Gu, the visitors are in this room. Do you need me to accompany you in?" Some regulations are mere formalities for some people, so the guard dutifully stood at the door and asked.

Gu Hengyuan thanked and declined, then opened the door and went in alone. As he entered, the first thing he saw were the backs of a large and a small person facing away from him. The two of them were talking and hadn’t noticed the door opening.
