Chapter 245 Dad, look who's here!
Gu Suixing found out his father-in-law's flight arrival time, and without even spending time with his wife and children, he went to the airport with his assistant.
"How do I look?" Gu Suixing asked.
Assistant Fang pushed up his glasses and answered truthfully, "It's tragically real."
Perhaps due to his leg injury in the car accident, his boss had become quite adept at limping, and his current feigned limp was perfect. His pale complexion was just right, not so pale as to arouse suspicion, and coupled with his forced smile and feigned strength, viewers would praise his acting skills if he were on television.
Assistant Fang pushed up his glasses again. "He's out."
Although there were many people waiting to pick him up at the airport, Xie Chao was easily recognizable due to his outstanding demeanor.
At the same time, Xie Chaoyin's secretary also spoke up to remind him: "Chairman Xie, President Gu is here."
Gu Suixing was equally outstanding, with a striking figure and appearance, not to mention his tall stature; he was hard to ignore. The women around him stared at him for a long time, practically ready to ask for his contact information.
Xie Chaoyin frowned, and when Gu Suixing walked up to him, he asked, "What happened to your leg?"
Gu Suixing paused for a moment, then said without answering, "My dad asked me to come and pick you up."
Xie Chaoyin raised her eyelids slightly. "Does your father have that kind of guts?"
"..." Sui Xing coughed lightly, covering her mouth. "Lu Nian made soup and is waiting for you at the hospital."
Xie Chao didn't believe Lu Fengqing would wait for him, but his expression softened when his daughter was mentioned. He turned to his secretary and said, "You and Lao Chen go back first."
The secretary nodded: "Yes."
Xie Chao handed his suitcase to his secretary, then carried a briefcase himself and followed Gu Suixing to the parking area.
Gu Suixing has difficulty walking and walks relatively slowly.
Xie Chaoyin glanced at Gu Suixing's legs and asked again, "How did this happen?"
At the funeral of the Lu family patriarch, he saw that the boy could already walk, so why did he suddenly become lame again?
Gu Suixing, with an expression that suggested she couldn't hide it any longer, forced a laugh and said, "My dad hit me..."
Xie Chaoyin raised an eyebrow. "Serves you right."
Gu Suixing: "..."
Although he didn't gain his father-in-law's sympathy, at least he didn't threaten to beat him up again, which shows that his act was somewhat effective.
Turning around, Gu Suixing greeted his father-in-law and helped him into the car. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Gu Zhenjun and Huo Yao were drinking scallion and egg soup that their daughter-in-law had made.
In the end, Lu Fengqing listened to the old chef's advice and made the simplest egg drop soup. Everyone got a portion, and everyone was treated equally.
She cracked six eggs into the pot. Not only did Gu Suixing and Rui Rui get some, but she also got some herself, Gu Zhenjun and Huo Yao got some, and even Xie Chaoyin got some—Gu Suixing cracked Xie Chaoyin's egg herself. Finally, Rui Rui sprinkled chopped scallions of varying lengths into the soup pot.
Rui Rui was very excited at the time. After he finished, he looked at his father, wanting to praise him.
His father, without any expression, asked him, "Did you wash your hands?"
"..." Rui Rui silently hid her dirty little hands behind her back.
All in all, aside from a few minor, negligible mishaps, this soup was a great success, and I felt very happy with it.
After finishing a bowl of scallion and egg soup, Gu Zhenjun sighed, "I've raised that brat for over ten years, and he's never even given me a single vegetable leaf. My daughter is so much more considerate."
Huo Yao nodded in agreement.
Gu Zhenjun and Huo Yao had both eaten. Gu Zhenjun noticed an egg in the insulated lunchbox and looked thoughtfully at Lu Fengqing.
He heard from his wife that their daughter-in-law hadn't acknowledged her father yet, seemingly harboring resentment. It seems that while the daughter-in-law may harbor resentment, she also has her biological father.
Lu Fengqing noticed Gu Zhenjun's gaze and guessed that he had misunderstood. Without hesitation, she betrayed Gu Suixing: "Gu Suixing added this egg himself."
Rui Rui chimed in, "For Grandpa."
Gu Zhenjun's face immediately darkened.
That traitorous brat deserves ten beatings!
The door to the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Gu Suixing appeared at the door. "Dad, look who's here."
Gu Zhenjun got angry when he saw this brat: I don't want to watch!
Gu Suixing had no choice but to step aside, revealing the person behind him.
Gu Zhenjun met the other person's gaze, "..."
Xie Chaoyin smiled and said, "It's been a long time."
It's been a long time.
Gu Zhenjun silently slid down and shrank into the blankets.
The ward was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Huo Yao calmly put away the bowl and said to Lu Fengqing and Rui Rui, "Let's go for a walk."
Lu Fengqing didn't say anything, and followed behind Huo Yao with Rui Rui in her hand.
Xie Chaoyin looked at Lu Fengqing, the cold smile on her lips disappeared, and her gaze softened.
As Rui Rui walked past Xie Chaoyin, she stopped and called out, "Grandpa."
Xie Chaoyin patted his little head and said, "Grandpa brought you a small gift. I'll give it to you when we come up after our walk."
Rui Rui: Okay!
After the two women left with the child, only three grown men remained in the ward.
Xie Chaoyin looked at the bulging quilt, the smile in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a mess.
"Third Uncle, please sit down." Gu Suixing gestured to him, walked over, picked up the insulated lunchbox, and glanced at it.
Seeing that there was another egg inside, they breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back, he was worried the whole way, fearing that his father would have a big appetite and eat his father-in-law's eggs too.
Gu Suixing handed the insulated lunchbox to Xie Chaoyin and then went to find a pair of chopsticks. "Third Uncle, eat it while it's hot."
Xie Chaoyin looked down into the insulated lunchbox, "..."
Gu Suixing reminded him: "Lu Nian originally wanted to make a soup of pig's trotters, pork ribs, black-boned chicken, crucian carp, soft-shelled turtle, kelp, and eggs."
Xie Chaoyin: "..."
Xie Chaoyin said in a low voice, "The egg drop soup is quite good."
Xie Chaoyin ate the food her daughter made herself with great care.
But no matter how carefully and slowly you eat a bowl of egg drop soup, it will eventually be finished.
Xie Chao put down his lunchbox and chopsticks, looked at the hospital bed again, and called out with a calm gaze, "Gu Zhenjun."
The bulging blanket trembled slightly.
