Aunty Mei came over at this point as well.

She had been busy in the kitchen and, when she was all done, she returned to her room and changed out of her clothes that smelled like grease.

Seeing Gu Yaobai, Aunty Mei, taken aback a little, said, Third Young Master has joined us today.

Grumbling, Aunty Mei noticed the baffled look on Gu Xi. She thought perhaps Old Mr. Gu had forgotten to introduce them. Walking over, she introduced the two of them, This is the third brother of the Gu family. You should refer to him as Third Uncle. The one next to him is his daughter. Shes one year older than you.

Not only did what Aunty Mei had said not clarify Gu Xis confusion, it confused her even more.

Gu Shao was the second one in the family and Little Uncle was the fourth. The two of them was less than 2 years apart in age. How did they fit a third brother in between?

Before Gu Xi had gotten too far down that thought process, Old Mr. Gu, after walking a couple of steps forward, noticed that something was off and that his granddaughter wasnt right behind him. He stopped, turned around, and called out to Gu Xi.

Cmon, Xixi. Come and have lunch with Grandpa.

Old Mr. Gus tone was naturally kinder when he talked to Gu Xi. Even the look on him became visibly more loving.

Okay, said Gu Xi as she hurried up and caught up with Old Mr. Gu.

See that Gu Shao had walked up toward them as well, Gu Xi scooped over closer to Gu Shao subtly.

A smile flashed past Gu Shaos eyes when he lowered his head and looked at Gu Xi who had walked up next to him Good, she didnt forget about her own dad after arriving at the Gus.

The group entered the dining room.

Thought Gu Xi to herself.

***

The remaining people were much more casual.

Gu Xi looked around and finally sat down next to Gu Shao.

Across from them, Old Mr. Gu, who had wanted his precious granddaughter to sit with him, felt sad for quite a while.*

Then, not wanting Gu Xi to feel intimidated having her first meal there, Old Mr. Gu did not ask her to sit with him instead of Gu Shao.

Ill sit with Xi, my big sister. Gu Chenyi was the fastest one and grabbed the spot next to Gu Xi. Gu Yanxiao and Gu Yanlin sat down next to them in order.

Gu XueEr wanted to sit over on that side as well but, after walking over, noticed that all of the spots were already taken. It was a bit embarrassing standing there.

It didnt take Gu XueEr long to smile, shake off the embarrassment and walked over to the other side to take the spot across from Gu Xi.
