After the atmosphere calmed down, the topic finally turned to Gu Yunzhou.
The old man put down the spoon and looked at Gu Yunzhou, "Yunzhou, try this fish dish. Your third aunt's steamed fish is good."
Lin Yan looked at Gu Yunzhou nervously.
Gu Honglin could neither bring honor to his family in his career nor continue the family line. The third branch of the Gu family was basically a bunch of losers.
It was a rare word of affirmation from the old man, and Gu Honglin and his wife looked at Gu Yunzhou nervously.
The other members of the Gu family also subconsciously looked at Gu Yunzhou. Compared to the curiosity and excitement on the faces of the others, Gu Hongbin and Wang Luo were excited.
They all remembered the fuss Gu Yunzhou had made at the New Year's Eve dinner last year, and they were afraid that he would not play by the rules and would be embarrassed at the dinner table again on New Year's Eve.
"Second brother..."
Gu Yunfen sensed her parents' nervousness and called out to Gu Yunzhou with a hint of pleading in her tone.
She lost her parents at a young age and was fostered in a relative's home for a period of time. She is very good at observing people's words and expressions.
She could feel the tense atmosphere at home, and she was afraid that things would get out of hand and her parents would be implicated.
Gu Yunzhou glanced at Gu Yunfen and his third uncle and aunt, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish from the belly of the fish that Gu Qingyong pointed at, and put it into his mouth.
"Mm, it's delicious. Uncle is blessed with Aunt San's cooking skills."
The third family secretly breathed a sigh of relief and showed happy smiles on their faces.
Gu Qingyong smiled and said, "Your Third Aunt's cooking skills are pretty good. If you like it, you can ask your Third Aunt to make it for you in the future."
Gu Honglin quickly followed up, "Yes, yes, Yunzhou, if you have time, just go to Third Uncle's house for dinner. Ask Third Aunt to cook whatever you want."
After hearing this, Gu Hongbin and Wang Luo immediately became alert, looked at each other nervously, and then looked at Gu Qingyong.
They remembered that Gu Qingyong had said before that he wanted to adopt Gu Yunzhou to the third brother's family.
What does the old man mean by this? Isn't this just a casual remark? But did you really have this idea?
That won't work.
Gu Hongbin couldn't sit still anymore and immediately wanted to show off his father-son relationship with Gu Yunzhou in front of everyone.
"Yunzhou, why didn't you tell your family about going to Kyoto? When we heard the news, your mother and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep for two nights."
"We called Vice President Wang many times but didn't meet you. I went to Ning County to pick you up in person a few days ago."
Gu Qingyong pursed his lips after hearing this and glanced at Gu Hongbin unhappily.
This idiot, everyone avoided mentioning this topic, not even him. Gu Hongbin, this tactless guy, actually opened it so blatantly at the dinner table.
Can’t we just finish our meal, wait until the atmosphere is more harmonious, and then sit down and talk?
Over there, Gu Hongbin's attention was completely on his son. He didn't notice the old man winking at him. He stood up and poured Gu Yunzhou half a glass of wine.
"How is your recovery going? I asked Vice President Wang carefully, and he said the operation was very successful and you will be fine like a normal person in the future. We haven't talked to each other for a long time. Come, let's drink a little during the New Year."
Wang Luo also reacted now. He grabbed the soup spoon and scooped a large spoonful of chicken meat from the chicken soup and handed it to Gu Yunzhou.
"Yes, yes, come and eat more.
I see that you have lost a lot of weight. What do you like to eat?
Now that I'm back during this time, I'll do whatever you like for you.
By the way, your mother has tidied your room for you, and all the quilts have been dried in the sun and heated, so it’s warm…”
