Gu Mingyu guessed correctly.

The reason why Gu Mingyue wanted to see Zou Pan so eagerly was because she had something to ask her.

She thought that the Gu family knew about Zou Pan only because they found out about such a person while looking for her.

After chatting with Chu Jinchu, I found out that the Gu family actually brought Zou Pan here to live and study and work?

They usually had close contact, which surprised her.

After asking her indirectly, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she found out that Chu Jinchu didn't know what she had done in Province H.

But I couldn't be completely at ease, so I was anxious to see Zou Pan.

Zou Pan went to a culinary school and graduated a long time ago.

After graduation, I stayed in Jiangcheng to work.

At first I found a job as a hotel chef.

However, most chefs in big hotels are men. Although there are female chefs, they are very few and basically cannot control the power and can only do some odd jobs.

Even so, because she was not a scheming person, she was often excluded and bullied.

Although he knew people from the Gu family, Zou Pan never took advantage of the Gu family's power and thought of living on it.

Later, he went to apply for a job at the Gu Group's hotel, but he went there secretly and never told anyone that he knew anyone from the Gu family.

He didn't even ask Chu Jinchu to say hello to the hotel.

So I worked there for two years, but I couldn't stand the intrigues in big hotels.

So he quit his job and used the money he saved to open a small restaurant.

Although the store is not big, she is very happy being both the boss and the chef.

I am quite satisfied with my daily life.

She has been in contact with the Gu family over the years, mainly with Chu Jinchu.

In addition to frequently sending homemade food to the Gu family, he also came to the Gu family to inquire about Jiaojiao's whereabouts.

The Gu family suddenly sent someone to look for her, saying that they had found Jiaojiao and asked her to come over.

Zou Pan was so happy that she forgot to take off her apron. It was only when the staff reminded her that she remembered. She quickly took off her apron and washed her hands. She went to the room to get something before leaving with the Gu family.

"Jiaojiao."

When Zou Pan arrived at Gu's house, he saw Gu Mingyue in the living room at a glance.

Without any doubt at all, he excitedly went forward and hugged her.

"You're finally back. I missed you so much!"

Zou Pan cried like crazy, his face covered with tears, and he was more excited than anyone in the Gu family.

Gu Mingyue originally thought that she and Zou Pan had been separated for so many years, even though they had made a promise before.

But we were all young at that time and the promise didn’t count at all.

After all these years, the relationship between the two can no longer be the same as before.

However, when Zou Pan hugged her and cried excitedly, and said that he missed her, she seemed to be back to her childhood in an instant.

At that time, the two of them were alone and helpless and could only rely on each other.

In this cold world, it is each other's warmth.

"Sister Panpan."

Gu Mingyue also stretched out his arms, hugged her gently at first, and then quickly hugged her tightly.

Even when Chu Jinchu hugged her, she didn't hug him back.

But now, he hugged Zou Pan tightly.

Chu Jinchu was very moved when he saw this scene.

I couldn't help but have red eyes. I wiped my tears and came over to persuade them.

I advised them not to be sad, because they finally met each other and would never be separated again.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go back to the room and have a good chat with Sister Panpan."

Gu Mingyue suggested cautiously.

Chu Jinchu said: "Of course, take Panpan back to the room and have a good chat. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."

"Sister-in-law, I also brought some braised beef and gave it to the housekeeper. You can cut a plate to try in the evening. I've improved it this time. Please try it and see how it tastes. If you like it, I'll follow this recipe next time."

Zou Pan said quickly again.

Chu Jinchu nodded and asked the kitchen to cut a plate of fruit for them to bring up so that they could eat while chatting.

After Zou Pan followed Gu Mingyue upstairs, he saw her room and said with a surprised expression: "This room is so beautifully decorated. Sister-in-law is so good to you."

"Sister Panpan, have you always been in contact with my brother's family?"

Gu Mingyue asked in a pretended calm tone.

Zou Pan nodded and said, "It was fortunate that your second brother found the orphanage and brought me back, otherwise I wouldn't have the good life I have now. My sister-in-law is a good person. She found a cooking school for me and sent me there to learn the skills. After graduation, I stayed here to work. I haven't forgotten our agreement. But I'm not as capable as your brother's family, so it must be more convenient for them to find you. So, I've been in contact with my sister-in-law, and asked her to tell me if there's any news about you."

"You did a good job. The Gu family is so rich, it's right to keep in touch with them." Gu Mingyue said.

Zou Pan didn't understand the meaning of her words, and smiled foolishly and said, "Yes, your brother's family is really rich and famous. Jiaojiao, you will definitely not suffer in the future."

"Yes, I won't suffer anymore in the future. But the richer people are, the more they care about their reputation. I don't know if they know what I did before." Gu Mingyue said with a sigh.

"what's up?"

Zou Pan didn't understand and asked in confusion.

Gu Mingyue said: "Of course it's the old man's business."

"Don't worry, I didn't tell them."

Zou Pan quickly assured.

Gu Mingyue's eyes twinkled and she asked, "You never told me? Over the years, my sister-in-law must have talked to you about a lot of things about me, but you never told her?"

"Of course, I couldn't help but tell the police before, and you got angry. I promised you that I would never tell anyone again, and I never told anyone who asked me."

Zou Pan raised his hand and swore.

She couldn't help but tell the police because she was worried about her.

But later when she was sent to the orphanage, she said that she shouldn't have said it.

If you don't tell the truth, the police will never know.

Without knowing the truth, both of them are minors and the police won’t do anything to them.

But once she said it, it would be solid evidence and would be very disadvantageous to them.

So she remembered it, and from then on, no matter who asked her, she would not say a word.

"No wonder my sister-in-law knows nothing. But since my second brother came to find you, he must have asked the police. So, he must know it too." Zou Pan said again.

Zou Pan said, "I don't know. Your second brother asked me, but I didn't tell him anything, so he didn't ask. But he's a bit scary, Jiaojiao. Although he looks a lot like you, he's pretty scary. In the future, just hang out with your sister-in-law and talk less to your eldest and second brothers. They don't seem to be easy to get along with."

Gu Mingyue smiled.

Looking at her, he said, "Sister Panpan has become smarter. She can tell who is easy to get along with and who is not. But from now on, don't call me Jiaojiao. That's not my real name. My current name is Gu Mingyue. You can call me Mingyue."

"Okay, Yueyue."

Zou Pan called out in response.

Gu Mingyue sighed softly.

She really hasn't changed at all, and is still as innocent and kind as before.

Although she didn't know why Gu Mingyu didn't tell anyone about her past, since they wanted to keep it secret, it wasn't a bad thing for her.

She also didn't want Chu Jinchu to hate or be afraid of her.

In this family, she still wants to rely on her to gain a foothold.

"Yueyue, this is a card. The password is your birthday. I don't know if that birthday is your real birthday. Anyway, I set the password according to the birthday you told me. You can use it first."

Zou Pan took out another bank card from his pocket and stuffed it into Gu Mingyue's hand.

Before she came, she went back to her room to get something, which was this bank card.

It's been a long time since I've given it to her.

"Why do you want to give me money?" Gu Mingyue was puzzled.

Zou Pan said, "Although my sister-in-law is a very good person and will definitely not treat you badly, you can't always ask my sister-in-law for money. This money is what I saved from my work. I always save it in two parts, one for you and one for me. I have always saved money for you. This is your money, so of course I have to give it to you."

Gu Mingyue looked at Zou Pan's bright eyes, without a trace of hypocrisy or affectation.

She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, like a lump in her throat.

But after a while, she pushed the bank card to me and said, "No need, you said it too, my brother's family is very rich, how can they need my money? It's not easy for you to earn money yourself, keep it for yourself."

"I've already told you that you can't always ask people for money. This is the money I saved for you. It's yours. I'll be angry if you don't want it."

Zou Pan was very stubborn and insisted that she accept it.

Gu Mingyue sighed softly.

She is still the same as she was when she was little, simple and honest, and once she makes up her mind, it is difficult for her to change.

Therefore, I was beaten a lot in the past, and every time I didn’t know how to beg for mercy.

"Okay, I'll keep it for now. If you need the money, tell me."

Gu Mingyue put the card away first, then reminded her.

Zou Pan nodded.

Looking at her, I couldn't help but smile happily again.

Gu Mingyue asked her: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I'm just happy. I'm happy to see you." Zou Pan answered with a smile.

Gu Mingyue couldn't help but chuckle and felt a lot more relaxed.

She had never understood why she had such a good relationship with Zou Pan.

Now that I'm grown up and have seen more, I know.

Maybe it’s because of her innocence!

Being with her, I don't need to use my brain and I feel very relaxed.

Dinner was ready, Chu Jinchu came up and knocked on the door, asking them to go downstairs to eat.

In just a few hours, Gu Mingyue had already understood Zou Pan's life over the years clearly.

I thought she had been in contact with the Gu family all the time because she wanted to rely on the Gu family for support.

After understanding it clearly, I realized that she really did not use the power of the Gu family to get anything for free. Her naivety is so exhausting!

Go down to eat and sit at the dining table.

Apart from the two of them, there were Chu Jinchu, Gu Mingchen and Gu Shenjin.

Gu Mingyu went home and did not stay for dinner.

Gu Mingyue originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him.

There was no point in trying to find out how much he knew and what his attitude was.

Chu Jinchu smiled and said to Zou Pan: "I'll ask your second brother to take a portion of the beef you brought. Your second sister-in-law will definitely like it."

"Well, if you like it, I'll braise more and send it to you next time." Zou Pan said.

"Next time you have to charge us, we can't keep eating your food for free." Gu Shenjin suggested.

Zou Panhan smiled and said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. Nephew, tell me what you like to eat and I will make it and send it over."

Gu Shenjin: “…”

He hasn't seen Zou Pan for a long time, why is she still the same as before?
