“Exactly.” Lu Zheng nodded.

"Come in, come in!" The old woman's eyes instantly filled with tears as she pulled Lu Zheng into the house and closed the door behind her. "Young Master, you don't know how much Miss misses you and Miss Xue'er. I've accompanied Miss to the capital several times and secretly seen you when you were little! You've grown so much!"

"Biyun, who's here? Why are you so excited?" Grandma Xiao looked out from the window next to her. She was holding bottles and jars, and her face was covered in various colors. She didn't know what she was studying, but when she saw Lu Zheng, she froze.

"Miss, it's Young Master Lu Zheng! He's grown up!" the old woman named Biyun exclaimed excitedly.

...

The Gu family of four arrived at the newly renovated Zuijianglou Restaurant. Manager Cheng had already finished his business and returned. Upon seeing them, he quickly went forward to greet them.

They asked the waiter to lead the oxcart to the backyard to feed the fodder, and then led them to a private room on the second floor.

"Lianmei, you've finally arrived! Second Brother Gu, Niannian, please come and sit down! Oh! This must be Xinxin! So cute!" Madam Cheng was incredibly enthusiastic.

She now completely treats Cai Xiaolian as her own sister, so of course, the sister's husband has to be her younger brother, right?

Gu Shouxin smirked; he was willing to bet that he was older than Madam Cheng.

"Aunt Sun." Gu Nian called out to her, then took Gu Xin's hand and said, "Xin Xin, this is Aunt Sun. She does business with Mom."

"Hello, Aunt Sun, I'm Gu Xin. My parents and sister all call me Xin Xin." Gu Xin isn't as shy as she used to be.

She dares to say she's the prettiest girl in the whole village, so shyness is out of the question.

Moreover, she often heard Cai Xiaolian talk about Madam Cheng at home and had a very good impression of Madam Cheng.

"Oh, my dear!" Madam Cheng replied with a smile, and had someone bring over the gifts that had been prepared beforehand.

On their first meeting, they were to give each other a gift; not only Gu Xin, but Gu Nian did too.

The two sisters each had a pair of bracelets, very beautiful gold bracelets, not at all tacky, very suitable for pretty young girls to wear.

Cai Xiaolian gestured for both of them to accept the money.

She had already sent gifts to Madam Cheng's two children, but Madam Cheng also had an older son whom she had never met.

"Jin'er, Yu'er, quickly greet them! This is Second Uncle Gu, and this is Xin Xin. You all know Sister Niannian, right?" Madam Cheng then called her twin children over.

"Young man Cheng Huaijin greets Second Uncle Gu!" Cheng Huaijin led his younger sister forward to greet Gu Shouxin. Cheng Huaiyu followed her brother's actions but remained silent.

Having known Madam Cheng for so long, Cai Xiaolian knew that Madam Cheng had two sons and a daughter. Her only daughter couldn't cry after birth because she was held back in the womb for a while during birth, and she couldn't speak when she grew up.

The Gu family knew about it, so nothing awkward happened.

Gu Shouxin prepared gifts for both the brother and sister.

After getting to know each other, everyone took their seats.

We're just waiting for Lord Cheng and the eldest son of the Cheng family to arrive so we can start eating.

Gu Xin happened to sit next to Cheng Huaiyu.

While the elders were discussing important matters, Gu Xin noticed that Cheng Huaiyu, who couldn't speak, kept staring at her purse.

Her purse was shaped like a carp, which Cai Xiaolian had bought for her.

Gu Xin didn't know how to get along with a child who couldn't speak, so she just let her be.

"Xiaoyu, I have candy, do you want some?" Gu Xin remembered that she had candy in her purse, so she took it out and asked.
