Chapter 439: Preparing for Reunion Dinner

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Xiao naturally saw the snacks on the small coffee table, but she had just woken up and did not have the appetite to eat them.

She shook her head at Mrs Chu. “No need, Auntie. I’m not hungry yet.”

When Mrs Chu heard this, she did not say anything else. She changed the topic and talked about some interesting things in the circle.

Not long after Gu Xiao and Chu An came down, Chu Zi and his wife, Wei Xuexi, also went downstairs.

When Wei Xuexi saw Gu Xiao, who was already talking to Mrs Chu, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her eyes. She pursed her lips and sat down beside Gu Xiao.

“Xiaoxiao, why are you up so early? Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

Gu Xiao smiled at Wei Xuexi and repeated her explanation to Mrs Chu.

Wei Xuexi nodded and did not say anything else.

Not long after Chu Zi and Wei Xuexi came downstairs, the breakfast Mrs Chu had prepared was ready. The group got up from the living room and went to the dining room.

The Chu family didn’t have any rules of not speaking during meals or sleep. Instead, laughter could be heard from time to time. The atmosphere was abnormally relaxed and happy.

After breakfast, Mrs Chu had no intention of resting. After roughly preparing lunch, she began to prepare for the reunion dinner in the evening.

The Chu family had always valued reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve, so they would start preparing early.

When Wei Xuexi and Gu Xiao saw this, there was no logic that they should go and rest by themselves. They followed Mrs Chu and got busy.

As for Chu An and the other men, they were chased out of the kitchen by Mrs Chu righteously. Even if they wanted to help, they could only get simple jobs like peeling garlic.

Moreover, even if it was such a job, Mr Chu and the other two might not be able to complete it very well.

Chu An glanced at Mr Chu and Chu Zi, who were sitting on small stools peeling garlic, and snorted disdainfully. Then, he leaned against the kitchen door.

“Xiaoxiao, how about I come in and help too? I can still cut vegetables,” Chu An suggested carefully.

With Chu An’s perseverance in training, although Chu An still couldn’t be the head chef, cutting vegetables wasn’t a problem.

Previously, in their apartment outside school, he had entered the kitchen to help Gu Xiao. Moreover, he had not been chased out by Gu Xiao who could not tolerate it anymore.

Therefore, in Chu An’s impression, he had already improved a lot and was completely qualified to enter the kitchen!

Upon hearing Chu An’s words, Gu Xiao and the other two stopped what they were doing at the same time and turned to look at Chu An.

Being stared at by the three of them at the same time, Chu An felt some pressure. He swallowed his saliva, still wanting to defend his right to enter the kitchen.

Wei Xuexi sneered and picked up the kitchen knife to cut the carrot in front of her into shreds.

Then, she turned around and asked without giving Chu An any face, “Can you do this?”

Of course, Chu An couldn’t! If he had this ability, he wouldn’t have been despised by Gu Xiao! Under Gu Xiao’s gaze, Chu An didn’t even dare to lie and shook his head honestly.

“No?” The corners of Wei Xuexi’s mouth curled up slightly. “If you can’t, get out! Even if you came in, you would be a hindrance!”

In the face of his sister-in-law’s disdain, Chu An subconsciously looked at Gu Xiao for help, hoping that Gu Xiao would speak up for him. However, he didn’t expect Gu Xiao to actually turn her head and not look at him at all.

Looking at Gu Xiao’s back, he realized that Gu Xiao despised him too. It was just that she couldn’t say it out loud previously.

Under Wei Xuexi and Mrs Chu’s strong disdain, Chu An still did not enter the kitchen.

When he returned to the living room, he was mocked by his biological father. “What? Chased out? You deserve it!”

Mr Chu was still holding a piece of pockmarked garlic in his hand. It was impossible to tell that it was intact previously, but this didn’t stop Mr Chu from mocking Chu An.

After all, he still had a measure of his own abilities and would not take the initiative to ask for a scolding.

Although Chu Zi did not say anything, he did not hide the rich hints of a smile in his peach blossom eyes at all.

Chu An snorted lightly and walked over to push Mr Chu away. He picked up a piece of garlic and started peeling it, ignoring Mr Chu’s mockery as if he considered him below his notice.

Mr Chu glared at Chu An angrily, but he still found another seat and sat down, continuing to peel garlic..
