Aunty Mei showed Lin Xi to the dining room.

Lin Xi thought the dinner that Aunty Mei was talking about was just a few regular dishes. Lo and behold, the second that she walked inside of the dining room, Lin Xi thought she was looking at the Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.

Just the two of them plus Grandma Mei. Were they overdoing it a bit with this much food?

Seeing the surprised look o Lin Xi, Aunty Mei quickly explained, It was my first time cooking for Little Miss Xin and I didnt know what you like. So I made a little of everything.

Truth was, when she was preparing dinner, Aunty Mei wanted to make everything for Lin Xi and inadvertently made all the dishes that she was good at.

Just pick the ones that you like.

What do you usually like, Little Miss Xi? asked Aunty Mei.

I can do anything, said Lin Xi.

Ah, you are not a picky eater. That is wonderful.

Lin Xi, What kind of filter is that?

Anything you like in particular? asked Aunty Mei again. Do you prefer sweet or savory dishes?

Lin Xi thought about it some and said, Sweet.

Can you eat spicy food?

Lin Xi shook her head.

What about sweet and sour?

Yes. Lin Xi nodded.

Aunty Mei smiled and said, little Miss Xis taste is exactly the same as that of Old Sir.

Lin Xi didnt know who was this Old Sir that she was referring to but she certainly seemed to have some knowledge of herself and Gu Shao.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Did they know each other from before?

Lin Xi thought to herself as she ate.

That being said, Aunty Meis cooking was amazing. Lin Xi felt that her cooking was even better than those of the 5-star chefs that Song Kexin had hired in the past.

She looks quite like Second Brother, said Gu Feng, the oldest of the Gus as he nodded.

His words earned him a stare from Old Mr. Gu. My granddaughter is so cute. She doesnt look like the jerk Gu Shao at all!!

She does, kind of, look like Second Uncle, said Gu Yanxiao.

He, too, got a stare from the old grandfather.

Nope. Xiao Xi looks like your grandmother.

But Grandma didnt have dimples. Look, Xiao Xi has a dimple here. Gu Chenyi, too, pointed at the not-so-obvious dimple on Lin Xi in the picture.

Old Grandpa insisted on what he had said. She got that from me. All in all, it had nothing to do with that jerk.

Having said that that, Old Grandpa hrumphed in a dramatic way and said, This Gu Shao, he didnt even tell me after he found his daughter. Id still be in the dark had I not pulled it out of Wang Wu!

As much as he was griping about Gu Shao, Old Grandpa wasnt able to contain the smile on him.

Even Gu Feng couldn't help but smiled secretively when he heard Old Mr. Gus words. Aunty Mei had been working for them over dozens of years and was almost like a butler. Of course they would have noticed that something was going on when his second brother asked for her.

Grandpa, grandpa. Looks like Grandma Mei had just sent something else. Go look at it.

I know. Cant you tell I am doing just that?

Just click on the picture again and it will bring you back out.

Can you upgrade to a faster cellphone, Grandpa? The four of them were anxious all over again as they stared at the cellphone when it downloaded the new picture.

Finally, another picture of Lin Xi appeared on the cellphone.

Shes even prettier from this angle!

Hurry up. Hurry up. There are more pictures. Just swipe left.

Another picture appeared.

This one, however, was one of Lin Xi carrying the bowls and dishes toward the kitchen.

Old Mr. Gu frowned. What is Aunty Mei doing? How could she let Xiao Xi clean up? I am going to have a talk with her. We can always send more help over if they need.

All three other men next to him nodded in agreement.
