"How can I not be anxious?" Old Man Gu took a sip of the tea that Steward Shen had brought.
Old Man Gu was looking forward to it day and night. He couldn't wait to report a fat, heavy grandson to his family and enjoy the happiness he enjoyed. No matter what, a little kid would be cuter and more considerate than a smelly grandson like Gu Xi, who didn't know when he came home to visit him.
"En, when the time is ripe, I will bring her to see you."
"Old Master Gu, the meal has been prepared. Please take a seat." Steward Shen came out of the restaurant and invited everyone to take a seat before ending the conversation.
"Mm, let's go eat. Xin Rou, you should stay and eat as well." Old Man Gu's heart ached for the Mu family's girl, but it was obvious that his grandson's choice was more important.
Seeing that it was time to eat, as the master of the family, he invited Mu Xin Rou to stay and eat.
After seeing this, how could Mu Xin Rou still have the mood to stay to eat? She bit her lips and forced a smile, "Grandpa Gu, I won't stay to eat. My mom just sent me a message saying she was waiting for me at home to eat! I'll come back to see you another day. "
Mu Xin Rou then said to Lin Man Yin: "Auntie Lin, thank you for your afternoon tea today, I'll be going first."
Lin Man Yin looked like she wanted to keep him, "Xin Rou …"
Mu Xin Rou gently shook Lin Man's hand and shook her head, indicating that Lin Man Yin no longer needed to keep her, "Auntie Lin, goodbye!"
To the entire Gu family, she was still an outsider.
Gu Xi Nian looked at him indifferently without saying anything. Seeing that Old Man Gu had stood up, he supported him, who was leaning on his walking stick, towards the dining room.
For dinner, besides Lin Manyin, Old Man Gu and Gu Xiinian ate happily, because Lin Manyin knew that Gu Xi Nian had come back to eat dinner. Before this, she had asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes that fit his taste.
"Manyin, why aren't you eating?" Old Man Gu found it strange that his daughter-in-law Lin Manyin's bowl of food was almost untouched and did not speak much.
"Dad, I'm fine, it's just that my appetite is not good today. Eat more! " Lin Manyin scooped up a bowl of soup for Old Man Gu.
Old Man Gu's heart was clear. He knew that Lin Manyin was not in a good mood because Gu Xi Nian had rejected Mu Xin Rou.
However, the old man didn't know that Lin Manyin knew who the girl Gu Xiinian wanted to marry was, and she didn't agree with him. That was why she had no taste for the delicacies on this table.
If the old tutor knew that he was the only one who was kept in the dark, he'd probably be fuming.
"As a mother, you should be happy to have a girl you like in the Western Year. Although that girl from the Mu family is not bad, we are still the family of the Western Year, so you should support him more." Old Man Gu still wanted to persuade Lin Manyin to be more open-minded. Even he, as an old man, could see things so clearly, much less someone younger than him.
"Dad, I know. If Xi Nian can find a girl I really like, I will naturally support her. After that, we will see how this girl that Xi Nian brought back is. It would be best if she can match our family's Xi Nian."
Lin Manyin pretended to be very understanding, but in reality, she was still judging based on her family background. She vaguely pointed it out to Gu Xi Nian, feeling that Gu Qian's family background was not worthy of her Gu family.
Gu Xi Nian did not speak, but continued eating.
Old Man Gu, however, didn't quite agree with Lin Manyin's words, "I think looks and family background are secondary, even girls from normal families can do it. Perhaps, they won't have the bad habit of getting used to by those big young misses! The most important thing is that she truly loves us, the two of us can be together until we grow old. "
Old Man Gu's wife had left early. He hoped that his grandson would not follow in his footsteps, and that the two of them would be in good health and accompany each other until they were old.
"Dad is right, I also think that their love is the most important. It's just that when it comes to family background, it's not like any girl of any status is okay, right?"
On the surface, Lin Manyin agreed with Old Man Gu's words, but in the end, she still valued her family.
"Mhm, her family background is pure, as long as her character is good."
After dinner, Lin Manyin went out to play mahjong with her old sisters, leaving Old Man Gu and Gu Xiinian alone.
Old Man Gu wanted to keep Gu Xi for a few more words. He was extremely curious. Just what kind of girl could enter the eyes of this sullen grandson of his? He had a cold attitude towards girls.
"Xi Nian, I still have something I want to tell you. How about you stay here today?" Old Man Gu was like a small old man, his tone pleading.
"I still have things to do, so I need to go back. I'll come see you another day."
Old Man Gu knocked his walking stick on the floor, "You brat, it's so hard to keep busy all day long! How about I stay with you for a few days? "
Old Man Gu had an idea. He wanted to stay at his grandson's house for a few days. Maybe the family would find some clues about the girl, such as a photo. If his luck was good, the girl would be able to see him.
"Sure, I'll let you stay in the house by the river. If you want, I'll give you my key."
Old Man Gu's murky eyes suddenly lit up. He hadn't expected Gu Xi Nian would agree to let him stay for a few days.
"Really? Then I'll get Old Shen to pack up for me. "
Cui Nian looked at the happy little old man in front of him and said lightly: "I moved out. I don't live in that house anymore."
With a single sentence, Old Man Gu was pushed down the cliff.
"What?" You little brat actually moved out without saying a word. This is not how money is built, where did you buy a house to live? "
Although the Gu family owned several houses and invested in real estate, Gu Xi Nian had always lived in the house by the river. He was not interested in the hype for the house.
Thus, Old Man Gu was very surprised with Gu Xi Nian's move.
"There's no silence. I just moved today, and already I'm telling you." Gu Xiinian expressed his innocence, his eyes carrying a mischievous smile.
It was quite interesting to tease his family's old man from time to time.
"Is that so?" Old Man Gu looked at Gu Xi Nian doubtfully.
"Really, I have to go back to my new home to pack up. I have to sleep tonight."
"Humph!" "Then give me the address, otherwise I won't believe it!" Old Man Gu angrily thought, either show me the girl's photo or give me the address of your new home, or I won't let you go back today.
