Zhao Mingze was somewhat reluctant, but since the leader had spoken, what else could he do?

There are five people in the family, and the eldest brother, the only one who is on the same front with him, is not at home. They can only contact each other through phone calls, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

The two little ones had already succumbed to his sugar-coated tactics, and the fact that they didn't rush over was because he had warned them in advance.

As for the biggest leader, needless to say, he was happier to see the boy from the Gu family than to see his own son.

Alone and helpless, what could he do?

Gu Mingjing also interrupted at this time, "Aunt, I was wrong just now. My voice was indeed a little loud. I should apologize to Uncle Zhao."

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Mingze and apologized, "Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry for scaring you just now."

Zhao Mingze: "..." You're taking advantage of me, aren't you?

Who was scared?

But he had said these words himself before, and it was not easy to ruin his own reputation now. He could only feel aggrieved in his heart.

"See? Mingjing is such a good kid!" Meng Ying looked at Mingjing with even greater satisfaction and couldn't help but push Zhao Mingze.

The implication is obvious: such a good child, and you still have any opinions about him?

Zhao Mingze: “…”

Jianshu: “…”

Bah, scheming dog!

Gu Mingjing's few words brought about a huge change in everyone's attitude.

Meng Ying had a better impression of Gu Mingjing and became more enthusiastic.

Zhao Mingze felt a little itchy. This kid definitely did it on purpose!

Jianshu is: ...

I have to say, this operation is awesome!

It is most useful to understand the family status clearly, know who has the highest status in the family, and deal with whoever you want.

And with such acting skills, she is a real white lotus. It would be a waste of talent if she didn't act.

Looking at Zhao Mingze with a frustrated look on his face, she felt deep sympathy.

Uncle Zhao is so pitiful.

But even so, she chose to keep her mouth shut and be a bystander, not getting involved in the open and secret struggles among people.

Seeing Zhao Mingze remained silent, Meng Ying nudged him again, "What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear Mingjing apologizing to you?"

Zhao Mingze: I can bear it!

Under the threatening gaze, he slowly squeezed out three words from between his teeth: "It doesn't matter!"

You kid, just wait for me!

The voice sounded somewhat reluctant. Meng Ying was somewhat dissatisfied, but she also knew that this was already the limit, so she did not say anything more.

He turned around and greeted Jianshu and the others with a smile on his face.

"Shushu Mingjing, what are you doing standing at the door? Come in and sit down."

Then he nudged Zhao Mingze, who was sitting in the middle of the sofa, and said, "What are you doing standing here? Sit to the side!"

Feeling unhappy, Zhao Mingze reluctantly stood up and prepared to move to the side.

Seeing the two of them making such a big noise, Jian Shu quickly spoke up to stop Zhao Mingze, "No need, Uncle Zhao, you take your seat, and we can just sit next to you."

How can you go to your elders' house and ask them to make room for you? That's not right.

Gu Mingjing also meant this, pulling Jianshu to the side, "That's right, we can just sit here."

Seeing that the two had already sat down, Meng Ying did not ask Zhao Mingze to make room and continued to entertain them.

He placed the tea on the tray in front of the two of them and said, "Come, have some tea. Sit down first, I'll go wash some fruit for you."

"Aunt, don't bother, we don't want to eat." Seeing that she was making trouble for the other person, Gu Mingjing quickly refused.

Meng Ying would never listen to him. She just waved her hand and left.

"Old Zhao, come and help!" He took two steps and then remembered something and turned around and shouted.

We can't leave him alone, or who knows what will happen? This guy must be kept under close watch.

Zhao Mingze followed silently.

The situation is like this now. Our army is isolated and helpless, and the enemy has sufficient manpower. He can only retreat strategically.

The living room suddenly became quiet, and Gu Mingjing and Jian Shu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Yueling and Zhao Tianrui, the brother and sister who had been huddled together for warmth, not daring to speak and watching the whole process, finally had the chance to greet the two of them.

"Sister Shu, Second Brother Gu!"

"Sister Shushu, Brother Gu!"

Zhao Tianrui slid off the sofa and ran over, wanting to rush into Jianshu's arms, but was stopped by Gu Mingjing halfway.

The moment before he struggled, he grabbed his waist and lifted him up.

"Hahaha, a little higher, Brother Gu, a little higher!" Zhao Tianrui was not afraid of heights, but shouted excitedly.

As long as he doesn't get into his wife's arms, Gu Mingjing will still satisfy his little wish.

"Okay, higher." He stood up and lifted the man higher.

Seeing the two of them playing around, Jianshu said, "Be careful, put him down after playing for a few times, don't keep giving in to him."

This kid Zhao Tianrui is a show-off. If you really want him to have fun, you will probably be exhausted.

"Okay." Gu Mingjing nodded.

After carrying him around the living room twice, they put him down.

"Brother Gu, I want to play more!" Zhao Tianrui, standing on the ground, stretched out his hands towards Gu Mingjing, his face full of desire.

Gu Mingjing rubbed his head and shook his head, "Be obedient and play next time."

On normal days, he wouldn't mind playing with him for a while longer, but today he had important matters to attend to.

"I brought you a present, don't you want to see it?"

Zhao Tianrui, who wanted to continue begging, heard about the gift, but his eyes suddenly lit up, "I want to see it!"

Don't underestimate him because he is young. He knows very well that he can play games anytime, but if he misses the gift, he will lose it.

Gu Mingjing took out the gift he brought and handed it to him, and he immediately took it eagerly.

Then he took out another one and handed it to Zhao Yueling, "Lingling, take it, this is yours."

"Thank you, Brother Gu." Zhao Yueling took it and thanked him politely.

Zhao Tianrui also shouted loudly after hearing this: "Thank you, Brother Gu."

Both of them accepted it very readily. Given the relationship between the two families, there was no need to do anything fancy.

"Wow, it's a picture book!"

"There are also toy cars and marbles!" Zhao Tianrui exclaimed happily after opening the gifts.

It was only at this time that Jianshu knew what was inside.

I couldn't help but look at the people around me: Not bad, you have a pretty accurate grasp of everyone's preferences, and you put your heart into it!

Gu Mingjing blinked at her: That’s it!

Zhao Yueling also opened her gift: a book, a pair of hairpins and a rubber band.

Everything you need to see, use, and play is here! Very comprehensive.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Gu Mingjing started the after-sales survey.

"I like it!" Zhao Tianrui answered happily while grabbing the marbles.

"Thank you, Brother Gu, I like it very much." Zhao Yueling hugged the book with a smile on her face.

"I'm glad you like it." Gu Mingjing was very happy when he was sure that his gift had caught the two of them's attention.

An ally is an ally if he can get one. No matter whether the two little guys can be of any use or not, as long as they don't hold him back, he will be very satisfied.

What’s more, they are all people to whom books are very important and they treasure them very much.
