The Learning System is My Misunderstood Daughter

Chapter 89-90

Chapter 89

With Xu System's guidance, Yun Xiaolu easily found Professor Gu's small courtyard, even if it meant taking a detour through narrow alleyways.

"Is anyone home?" The courtyard was quiet, so Yun Xiaolu had to speak up to inquire.

"Who is it?" A clear voice came from the side room, and Yun Xiaolu immediately recognized it as the young girl from back then, Gu Jiarén.

"Is Professor Gu at home?"

Gu Jiarén was already in high school and had become more cheerful and lively than when she was a child. She glanced at the young girl who suddenly appeared before her. Compared to the students her grandfather usually had, she looked a bit different. Not only did she have a gift in her hand, but she also dragged along a huge suitcase. Her outfit had a Western touch, and she was attractive.

"Are you Sister Yun Jia?" The young girl immediately identified her.

Yun Xiaolu was a bit surprised. They had only met once, yet she remembered?

"You still remember me?"

Gu Jiarén shook her head and nodded at the same time. "I can't quite remember your appearance, but anyone who comes to visit my grandfather is usually his student. However, no one ever brings a suitcase. Sister, did you come back from abroad?"

Thanks to her grandfather's constant praise, constantly mentioning "Yun Jia published another paper!" or "Yun Jia won an award!" or "Yun Jia will be coming back to China soon," Gu Jiarén couldn't forget. Lately, her grandfather had been talking about Yun Jia's imminent return with great joy, and it matched the description.

"You're really clever. Yes, I am Yun Jia. Is Professor Gu not at home?" They were speaking with some volume, so if Professor Gu was at home, he should have heard them.

"Grandpa went to his laboratory. Sister, please come inside and have a seat. I'll call him and ask him to come back."

"No need, I was actually planning to visit Q University anyway. Let's not bother the professor. Is his wife at home? I'll just say hello to her and head straight to the school."

Gu Jiarén's smile vanished from her face when she heard those words. She lowered her little head and said in a muffled voice, "Grandma is no longer with us. She passed away two years ago."

It was truly unexpected news, and Yun Xiaolu looked apologetically at the young girl. "I'm sorry, I didn't know about this."

The young girl shook her head. "It's okay. Grandpa said that Grandma just went to see Mom and Dad first, and when I grow old, I'll be able to see them too."

"Sister, did you just get off the plane?" The young girl, perhaps sensing Yun Xiaolu's remorse and confusion, quickly changed the topic to show her understanding.

Yun Xiaolu shook her head. "No, I've been back for a few days. This suitcase is full of books. I brought them for the professor and the dean."

"No wonder my grandpa likes you. He loves reading the most. I've never seen anyone give him so many books before. He must be very happy." The young girl's eyes sparkled, and she had a heartwarming presence.

"This is a gift from Sister." Before her departure, Yun Xiaolu had selected a set of children's books in English and a box of chocolates for the young girl. She also brought some popular skincare products from abroad, originally intending to give some to the professor's wife, but now she had to give them all to Professor Gu.

"I can't accept it, otherwise, my grandpa will scold me."

Yun Xiaolu smiled and said, "You can accept the gift from Sister. It's different from what others give you. Your grandpa won't be angry, I promise."
