Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yun Shu tidied her hair, stood up, and extended her hand to Gu Lian with a smile. “Brother Gu Lian, long time no see.”
In order to visit the Gu family today, she had specially gotten a brand new style. She had Korean no-makeup makeup look and voluminous wavy hair. She looked like a harmless little white flower. Even the white dress she was wearing was specially chosen to match the style she had worn most often when playing with Gu Lian. She tried to use this method to evoke some of Gu Lian’s memories.
Also, she didn’t use the excuse of catching up with Gu Lian. Otherwise, it would make her look too purposeful.
Yun Shu had begged her parents for a long time, asking them to send a visitation request to the Gu family. Yun Shu’s parents couldn’t resist their daughter’s sugar coated words.
In addition, the two families were indeed family friends. Although they didn’t have much contact after Yun Shu went abroad, their friendship was still there.
Coincidentally, they had not visited Gu Lian after he woke up, so they took this opportunity to arrange a visit with the Gu family.
Gu Lian looked at Yun Shu’s outstretched hand, but his mind was still filled with the problem of him and Mo Yu touching each other. Me subconsciously shook it gently. Before Yun Shu could hold tighter, Gu Lian pulled his hand away.
“Xiao Lian and Xiao Yu are back. The two of you go wash your hands first. You can eat soon.” Su Mei was very satisfied with Mo Yu, her daughter-in-law. Now, whenever she looked at any girl who jokingly had an engagement, she felt that she wanted to snatch Mo Yu’s position as ‘Gu Lian’s Madam’.
Therefore, when Yun Shu reached out her hand, Su Mei became vigilant. When Gu Lian separated his hand from hers, Su Mei urged them to wash their hands and told the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Gu Lian and Mo Yu responded and went to wash their hands, while Gu Jiu went upstairs to call Old Master Gu down for dinner.
After all, it was Yun Shu and her family who came to visit today. The relationship between the Yun family and the Gu family was also related to Old Master Gu. Although Old Master Gu had come up with the excuse of not feeling well when they were exchanging pleasantries, the two families still had to sit together for dinner.
Yun Shu looked at the dining table and tried to figure out where to sit.
As the oldest in the Host’s family, Old Master Gu naturally had to sit at the head of the table. On his right was Gu Jiu and Su Mei. Since Gu Chen was not around today, Gu Lian would sit on their left. Her parents should sit beside Su Mei. If she was fast enough, she could sit beside Gu Lian.
While Yun Shu was still trying to figure out where to sit and show her elegance to Gu Lian, the door of the Gu family’s house was pushed open again, and Gu Zi’s cheerful voice came.
“Dad! Mom! It’s the school’s anniversary the day after tomorrow. Today and tomorrow are days off to decorate the school! I haven’t been back for a week. Did you miss me?!”
Gu Zi’s appearance was completely unexpected, breaking all of Yun Shu’s fantasies.
She began to recalculate the seats. She did not expect the first thing Old Master Gu to say after he came downstairs and sat on the head of the table to be to call Mo Yu over.
“Xiao Yu, come and sit beside Grandpa.”
Yun Shu didn’t expect the seating to be like this. If that was the case, the seat she chose could only let Gu Lian see two-thirds of her side profile. When the time came, he would be able to see her eating and swallowing clearly.
Yun Shu replied instinctively: “I don’t think that’s appropriate, Grandpa. The eldest son and eldest grandson should be sitting next to the head of the table.”
Mo Yu also hesitated for a moment, but Old Master Gu did not care. He pulled Mo Yu and let her sit beside him. “Our Xiao Yu eats well. 1 can eat two more bowls just from watching her. Besides, Xiao Yu is my Xiao Lian’s wife-to-be. She’s the wife of my eldest grandson. There’s no problem letting her sit beside me, right?”
Old Master Gu said it as a question on the surface, but his movements were already unquestionable as he pressed Mo Yu onto the seat beside him. He also glanced at Gu Lian and Gu Zi and gave the brothers a look.
Gu Lian had been smart since he was young. He instantly understood what his grandfather meant and pulled Gu Zi to sit down.
“Grandfather is right. Xiao Yu can naturally sit beside you.”
Mo Yu sat beside Old Master Gu in a daze. The others could not say anything else and could only sit down one by one..
