She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 433 Xiaoyu is married

"Xiaoyu called me Fourth Brother!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yu stepped out of Duan Zhu's embrace and turned to look at Nan Zhou standing beside her.

Her eyes were red, and she murmured, "Fourth Brother."

Upon hearing those two clear words again, Nan Zhou's smile widened, and he immediately looked at Nan Zhuoyuan beside him.

"Big brother, did you hear that? Xiaoyu called me fourth brother. Am I hallucinating?"

Nan Zhuoyuan looked at Nan Zhou, who was standing there dumbfounded, and patted him on the shoulder. "A Zhou, calm down. Xiao Yu is calling you Fourth Brother."

Nan Zhou received a definite answer, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.

His body trembled as he walked up to Nan Yu and said to her, "Xiao Yu, I'm sorry. I was blind before. I mistook Nan Qingqing for you and even thought you were the murderer. You suffered a lot during that time."

Upon hearing these words, Nan Yu felt comforted after her previous grievances.

She pursed her lips, slowly raised her head, and looked at Nanzhou.

"Fourth Brother, as long as Mom is alright and you are all alright, that's all that matters. I'm actually fine."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhu felt a sharp pain in her heart. She quickly pulled Nan Yu aside and said, "Xiao Yu, Mom also wants to apologize to you. These past twenty years have been very difficult for you, haven't they? Mom will do everything she can to make it up to you in the future."

Nan Zhuoyuan added, "Xiaoyu, your birthday is in half a month. Your other brothers will be back then, and our family will be reunited. We won't let you suffer anymore."

Nan Zhou then took out the gift in his hand and handed it to Nan Yu.

"Xiaoyu, this is a gift that your fourth brother specially prepared for you. Do you like it?"

Nan Yu stared at the gift in front of her, then paused for a moment. "Fourth Brother, you really don't need to..."

Duan Zhu interrupted her directly, "Why not? You absolutely must! You're his little sister, you should accept this gift."

She snatched it directly from Nan Zhou's hand and stuffed it into Nan Yu's arms.

Then, with a gentle expression, she said, "Xiaoyu, open it and see what your fourth brother bought. Do you like it?"

Nan Yu looked at the gift in her arms, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Okay, I'll open it and take a look."

In front of everyone, she opened the wrapped gift box, revealing its contents.

It's a scroll.

Nan Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Nan Zhou, "Is this the painting from the auction?"

Nan Zhou nodded. "I don't know what you like, but this painting was the most expensive item at the auction that night. I'd like to give it to you; I think you'll like it."

Nan Yu gently unfolded the landscape painting, and a lifelike scene appeared before her eyes.

She gazed at the painting with rapt attention, "Fourth Brother, I love it! Thank you!"

Nan Zhou, who had been holding his breath, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Nan Yu's words.

"Xiaoyu, I'm glad you like it. If I come across such a nice painting again next time, I'll find another one and give it to you."

Nan Yu looked at the painting and gently shook her head, "This one is enough."

She carefully put it away, looked at Nan Zhou, and spoke again.

"Fourth Brother, thank you for the painting."

Seeing that Nan Yu was still a little reserved and somewhat distant, Duan Zhu stepped forward and took her wrist.

"Xiaoyu, it's rare for you to come back tonight. Why don't you stay for dinner? Your father will be back soon too."

“I know you may not be used to it, but you are our biological daughter, and we hope you can come back to us.”

"Even if it's not possible right now, can't the family at least have dinner together?"

Nan Yu felt a tremor in her heart as she sensed Duan Zhu's plea.

Just as she was about to speak, Nan Zhuoyuan spoke first.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry about it. Just stay here for dinner, and I'll take you home after you're done."

It was a decisive decision made immediately.

Nan Yu nodded gently, "Okay."

Duan Zhu then smiled with relief and tightly grasped Nan Yu's hand.

"Xiaoyu, what do you like to eat on weekdays? Tell Mommy, and Mommy will ask the chef to make it."

Nan Yu thought for a moment and obediently replied, "Mom, I'm not a picky eater, I like to eat everything."

Duan Zhu nodded, "Okay, then let the chef cook all the dishes she's good at for you to try."

Nan Yu smiled and said, "Okay."

The two walked downstairs together.

Nan Zhou looked at his mother, who kept talking, and Nan Yu, who answered obediently, and then turned to look at Nan Zhuoyuan.

"Big brother, how come I never realized before that Xiaoyu was such a well-behaved and obedient little sister? She's so lovable."

Nan Zhuoyuan glanced at Nan Zhou, "Xiao Yu's goodness goes beyond that, it's a pity she's married."

Nan Zhou was shocked. "Big brother, what did you say? Xiao Yu got married?"

He must have misheard. Xiaoyu is only in her early twenties, how could she be married!
Nan Zhuoyuan patted him on the shoulder, his expression more serious than ever before.

“A-Zhou, Xiao-Yu married that sickly man from the Huo family. We have a crippled brother-in-law.”

Nanzhou: "???"

Nan Zhuoyuan sighed heavily, shook his head, and walked downstairs.

Nan Zhou was stunned for a long time. He looked down at Nan Yu, who had a sweet smile, and then thought of Huo Junyan, the fierce man from the Huo family.

It suddenly felt like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung.

"How could Huo Junyan be worthy of my wonderful sister!"

"No, I have to go find Xiaoyu and ask her directly if she's really married!"

Nan Zhou took two steps downstairs and quickly arrived in front of Nan Yu.

When he looked at Nan Yu, the question he wanted to ask suddenly became impossible to utter.

Seeing Nan Zhou's silly look, Duan Zhu frowned and looked at him. "A-Zhou, what do you want to say? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Nan Yu looked at Nan Zhou with a puzzled expression, "Fourth Brother, is something wrong?"

Nan Zhou looked at Nan Yu, then at Duan Zhu, and finally managed to utter two words.

"fine."

When he noticed they were still staring at him, he immediately grabbed the orange beside him and said, "Xiaoyu, let your fourth brother peel an orange for you."

After saying that, he lowered his head and began peeling an orange for Nan Yu.

Seeing this, Duan Zhu pulled Nan Yu's attention back, "Xiao Yu, don't worry about A Zhou, he's probably just a little too happy that you're back."

Nan Yu nodded gently, suppressing the doubts in her heart.

Nan Zhuoyuan could tell that Nan Zhou wanted to ask Xiao Yu about her marriage, but he pretended not to know and turned to chat and laugh with Nan Yu.

Only Nan Zhou watched the three of them chatting happily, his mind preoccupied with Nan Yu's wedding.

This continued until Nambofu returned.

When Nan Bofu returned from the company, he heard his wife Duan Zhu's laughter as soon as he entered the door, and he couldn't help but feel happy as well.

During this period, her wife was seriously ill and injured, and with her daughter's situation, she hadn't smiled like this in a long time.

He hurriedly walked in from the doorway, saying as he went, "Ah Zhu, what happy thing happened?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Nan Yu surrounded in the middle and froze on the spot.

Duan Zhu waved directly to Nan Bofu, "Bofu, come here quickly. I specially called Xiaoyu back today to have dinner with us."

Nan Yu sat up from the sofa, looked in Nan Bofu's direction, and gently bit her lower lip, unsure of how to address him.

Nan Bofu looked at Nan Yu's face, then at Duan Zhu beside her. Nan Yu was practically a younger version of Duan Zhu.

He revealed a gentle smile, took two steps forward, and shed his coldness.

"Xiaoyu, sit down. Your mother and I have been looking forward to your return for a long time. It's so good that you're back now."

He pressed Nan Yu down to sit, then unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves.

"Xiaoyu, it's rare for you to come back. Dad will go to the kitchen and cook a dish so you can taste my cooking."

Just as Nan Yu was about to speak, Duan Zhu pulled her back and said first, "Xiao Yu, your father is a very good cook. Just sit down and wait to try his cooking later."

Nan Yu then looked at Nan Bofu, her eyes showing a hint of unease, and said, "Dad, thank you for your hard work."

Upon hearing this, Nan Bofu paused in his action of rolling up his sleeves.

His lowered eyes instantly reddened, and when he looked up at Nan Yu again, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his lips.

"Dad, you're not tired. You can talk to Mom and your brothers. I can cook quickly, it'll be ready in a bit."

After saying that, he put on his apron and went into the kitchen.

Looking at Nan Bofu's broad back, Nan Yu felt the meaning of "fatherly love is as solid as a mountain" for the first time.

An hour later, all the dishes were served, and the butler came to the living room.

"Madam, young master, young lady, dinner is ready."

Duan Zhu took Nan Yu's hand. "Xiao Yu, come here."

Nan Yu obediently followed, and soon they arrived at the restaurant.

A huge table was set up in the restaurant, now piled high with dishes, looking incredibly lavish, comparable to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast.

Nan Bofu came out of the kitchen, and a servant carried a beautifully arranged plate of steamed fish, which was placed in the center of the dining table.

"Xiaoyu, come and sit down."

Nan Yu was placed between Duan Zhu and Nan Bofu, with the plate of fish in front of her.

Duan Zhu picked up her chopsticks and placed a piece of fish in her bowl.

"Xiaoyu, this fish dish is your father's specialty, called Reunion Fish."

“Since the year you went missing, he has been making this dish several times every year, hoping that he can cook it for you on the day you come back.”

Nan Bofu also picked up a piece of fish and placed it in Nan Yu's bowl.

"Xiaoyu, I named this fish dish 'Reunion Fish' because I hope we can be reunited with you soon."

"Today, it has finally come true."

Nan Yu is here today, and listening to their words, she can feel their deep love for her.

It turns out that her biological parents loved her so much all these years.

I have never given up looking for her, and I have been making this dish all the time, hoping for the day when we can be reunited.

Tears welled up in Nan Yu's eyes. She quickly lowered her head and used her chopsticks to stuff all the fish in the bowl into her mouth.

"good to eat!"

With tears glistening in her eyes, she looked at her mother and father and repeated the same thing over and over again.

"This fish is so delicious! It's the best fish I've ever eaten in my life!"

Duan Zhu looked at her and tears streamed down her face as well.

She wiped away her tears with a tissue, then picked up her chopsticks and piled a lot of food on Nan Yu's plate, saying in a choked voice, "Xiao Yu, eat more if you like."

Nan Bofu, his eyes also red, served her several pieces of fish.

"Xiaoyu, if you want to eat this in the future, just tell Daddy and Daddy will make it for you."

Nan Zhuoyuan looked at them, tears welling up in his eyes behind his glasses. He secretly wiped them with his fingertips, then ladled a bowl of soup for Nan Yu and placed it in front of her.

"Xiaoyu, have some soup."

Nan Zhou also picked up two large chicken legs and placed them in the bowl in front of Nan Yu, which was already piled up like a small mountain.

"Xiaoyu, this chicken leg is delicious, you should try it!"

Looking at the ever-increasing number of dishes, Nan Yu couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart.

"That's enough, that's enough, I can't finish eating anymore."

Duan Zhu looked at Nan Yu with eyes full of doting affection, "Then eat slowly~"

They served food to Nanyu, who ate it ravenously.

This meal lasted a full three hours.

By the end, Nan Yu couldn't eat another bite, and only then did they let her go.

Duan Zhu put down her chopsticks. "Xiao Yu, next time you want to eat something, just send a message to your mother. Your mother will ask the chef to make it, and then you can come and eat."

Nan Yu nodded, "Okay, Mom."

Suddenly, Nan Bofu realized something and said directly to Nan Yu, "Xiao Yu, why don't you just move back in?"

“You have always been our daughter, and now it’s time for you to come back home.”

Duan Zhu looked at Nan Yu expectantly, "Yes, Xiao Yu, come back to live in the ancestral home. Mom wants to see you every day."

Nan Yu froze, unable to speak for a long time.

"Mom, Dad, I can't move back now."

Duan Zhu looked at her in confusion, "Why can't we move back?"

Nanbofu pondered.

“Xiaoyu, if you’re afraid of Nan Luzhi and the others, then you don’t need to worry. Nan Luzhi is dead and won’t come out to stop you now.”

Nan Yu denied it, saying, "It's not because of them, it's for my own personal reasons."

Duan Zhu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "What's the reason?"

Nan Yu looked troubled, unsure how to begin.

There's no real reason; it's just that she wasn't fully prepared to live with them and receive their overwhelming pampering.

She was afraid that this was all a dream, and that one day she would wake up to find that it was all for nothing.

"Mom, I..."

Nan Zhuoyuan noticed Nan Yu's predicament and spoke up, "Dad, Mom, Xiao Yu isn't used to it yet. Letting her move back today would put too much pressure on her. Let's talk about it later."

He glanced at the time on his watch. "It's already very late. I'll take Xiaoyu home first and pick her up in a couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhu and Nan Bofu realized they were being a bit too hasty and instantly came to their senses.

Duan Zhu quickly said, "Okay, we can talk about moving back later. Xiao Yu, you go back with your older brother first, and come home more often when you have time."

Nan Bofu then spoke up, "Xiaoyu, be careful on your way home today, and call home if anything happens."

Nan Yu nodded obediently, "Okay, Mom, Dad, Fourth Brother, goodbye."

After saying that, she followed Nan Zhuoyuan and quickly left the place.

After they left, Duan Zhu looked in the direction they had gone, lost in thought.

"Bo Fu, when will Xiao Yu finally come back to live with us?"

Nanbofu put his arm around her waist and comforted her, "Maybe in a few days she'll come back and live with us."

Standing behind them, Nan Zhou couldn't help but sigh heavily upon hearing their words.

"Dad, Mom, don't think about it anymore. Xiaoyu won't be living with us."

Duan Zhu and Nan Bofu turned around abruptly to look at Nan Zhou, and said in unison.

"why?"

Nan Zhou sighed, "Xiao Yu is already married, how can she come back?"
