Chapter 1110: Chapter 566: Changing Surname and Transferring Household Registration

Madam Gu’s birthday banquet ended with a surreal twist regarding the Gu family heir.

Who could have imagined beforehand that Gu Bichen was a fake young master switched maliciously by a nanny seventeen years ago, and that the real young master is Rong Xianning, the top star who captivates countless girls in the entertainment industry?

In an instant, Gu Bichen fell from grace into the mire, burdened with the suspicion of murder, revealing the lowly genes deeply ingrained despite years of cultivation by the Gu family.

As for Rong Xianning, despite growing up in such a harsh environment, he remained resilient, with outstanding achievements and abundant talent, living up to the Gu family’s illustrious name.

The two perfectly epitomize the old saying: born of dragon and phoenix, while the son of a mouse will burrow holes.

The crowd just had their fill of drama and were now lost in their thoughts as they picked at their banquet meal. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

At the main table, Madam Gu and Gu Chengzhao sat together with Na Amo and Rong Xianning, Shen You’an sitting alongside them, forming a seemingly harmonious scene, though an undercurrent of repressed tension subtly simmered.

After Gu Bichen was taken away, Lin Hui quietly left with Yao Huia; right now, the Gu family certainly didn’t want to see Yao Huia the most.

After finally enduring through the meal and seeing off all the guests, Gu Chengzhao took Rong Xianning’s hand saying gently, "Come home with Dad."

Rong Xianning’s eyes slightly flickered, instinctively turning to look at Shen You’an.

Shen You’an smiled and nodded.

Silently, they all boarded the car.

Returning to the Gu home, Madam Gu sat at the head and had Na Amo recount the entire story clearly.

In front of outsiders, Na Amo concealed certain truths, such as the reason Zhou Rong was able to successfully swap the children stemming from Yao Huia, who first conceived the idea due to Yao Huia with Zhou Rong playing the fool to outsmart her.

As such, only Yao Huia had seen the child born to Na Amo, which led to her suspicion after seeing a birthmark on Gu Bichen as a child, further unraveling the truth about the switch.

It can be said that Yao Huia was both the downfall and the salvation.

"It was An’an who first suspected there was an issue with their identities; if not for An’an, we might have been kept in the dark forever."

Na Amo looked at Shen You’an with eyes full of gratitude.

Madam Gu nodded: "An’an, you are a benefactor to the Gu family; from now on, any place where help is needed, the Gu family will not hesitate."

Shen You’an shook his head: "I’m not seeking reward, I just hope my friends can be happy."

Rong Xianning was still in a daze, like a little cat straying into another’s territory, cautiously hiding his claws.

"Aning." Madam Gu beckoned.

Rong Xianning walked over to Madam Gu, squatting down.

Madam Gu smiled, gently stroking the young man’s face: "The tough days are over; from today onwards, this is your home."

Chen Feng teased from the side: "No wonder the old lady felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw the young master on television, turned out to be the blood connection between grandmother and grandson."

Madam Gu hugged Rong Xianning, feeling the boy in her arms so thin, as frail as paper, with not an ounce of flesh beneath her hand, just all bones.

Madam Gu was deeply saddened.

"Feng, start making more nutritious meals for the child from tomorrow."

"Certainly." Chen Feng agreed immediately.

"As for the room, Chengzhao, contact the construction team by tomorrow to refurbish the study on the north side and connect it with the guest room on the east side for Aning to live in; the room opposite will be considered a guest room in the future."

Chen Feng glanced at Madam Gu.

The study on the north side doesn’t get as much light as the south, but offers a great view of Jingshan Mountain, hence its use as a study due to its smaller size; the east guest room has good lighting, merging the two balances both light and space, a win-win situation.

Yet the southern bedroom, Gu Bichen’s, receives the best light and space in the whole villa, yet Madam Gu would never let Rong Xianning live in Gu Bichen’s former room.

This would be utmost disrespect to Rong Xianning, the newly acknowledged true grandson.

No one knows what will become of Gu Bichen in the future, but Madam Gu’s statement "the room opposite will be considered a guest room" effectively severed any possibility of Gu Bichen’s return to the Gu family.

Indecision invites trouble.

Chen Feng felt the old lady acted wisely; otherwise, having the true and false young masters live under one roof would only breed conflicts, leading to resentment from the false one and heartache in the true one, leaving no one satisfied.

Better to make the right choice from the start and stick with it firmly.

Gu Chengzhao nodded: "I’ll contact them first thing tomorrow morning."

He had no objection to Madam Gu’s decision.

Na Amo said: "Aning will sleep in my room tonight, his father and I will sleep in the guest room."

Madam Gu nodded with a smile: "That’s the way it shall be."

Rong Xianning hurriedly said: "How can this be...."

Na Amo walked over, gently placing a hand on Rong Xianning’s shoulder.

"The guest room is for guests; Aning, remember you are the master of this house."

Rong Xianning’s throat moved, looking at the warm and loving family before him, the parched land in his heart slowly nourished by the heavenly rain.

Does he... really have a family?

Madam Gu continued to arrange: "Chengzhao, tomorrow morning, bring Aning to the citizenship office to change his surname; if the child wants to change his name too, give him a good one, then transfer the household registration over."

Since discovering the child’s identity, she has been unable to bear the child bearing the Rong surname or household registration even for a moment.

Gu Chengzhao smiled wryly: "Tomorrow’s Sunday, the citizenship office is closed."

"Then the morning after tomorrow."

Gu Chengzhao looked at Rong Xianning with gentle eyes: "Aning, do you want to change your name?"

Rong Xianning shook his head: "Xianning is a name my grandmother gave me, I really like it."

Gu Chengzhao smiled: "Alright, then we won’t change it, but the surname must be changed."

Rong Xianning raised no objection.

Shen You’an looked at his constantly ringing phone, handing it to Rong Xianning: "You should answer it."

Ding Meng was calling.

There are no walls without leaks; Shen You’an hadn’t intentionally kept the news under wraps tonight, and once the guests dispersed, the revelation of Rong Xianning’s identity would undoubtedly hit the hot searches.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Ding Meng’s frantic successive calls had already begun.

Rong Xianning picked up the phone and walked to the corner, while the three pairs of eyes watched him unblinkingly.

Rong Xianning had barely connected the call when Ding Meng’s exaggerated shrill voice came through: "Is the online exposé true? Are you really the Gu family’s swapped young master? My dear ancestor, quickly tell me if it’s true so I can prepare public relations!"

Rong Xianning replied softly: "It’s true."

The phone went silent momentarily before Ding Meng’s voice returned with even more exaggerated screams: "It’s really true...."

The high-decibel sound reached even Gu Chengzhao and Na Amo standing two meters away, prompting them to exchange a glance and tighten their brows instinctively.

"My heavens, how is this possible, Xiao Rong, who would have thought you’re actually the true young master swapped by the Gu family, more dramatic than a novel, I need time to process...."
