Chapter 400... Are you trying to trick her into meeting his parents?
Gu Yingzhou felt completely powerless.
What could he do with his little girl?!
I can only save the money first and hand it all over after I get married.
Mrs. Ruan disagreed:
"Whether or not to accept it is Tangtang's own business, whether or not to pay the bill is our attitude."
"It would have been fine if your grandfather and I didn't know Tangtang was coming to Hai City, but now that we know, how could we not express our gratitude at all?"
As he spoke, he forcefully stuffed the money on the table into his hands.
"Take it. Your grandfather and I have plenty of money."
Gu Yingzhou has been accustomed to his family giving him things since he was a child.
But ever since he went to college at the age of twelve and felt he was an adult, he no longer received any "subsidy" from his family.
Seeing the two old men's slightly tough expressions, I didn't know what to say.
"I accepted the gift on Tangtang's behalf, but it's not appropriate to accept it now.
When I bring Tangtang to visit my home, you two can just give her a greeting gift."
His little girl was independent and proud, and didn't want to take advantage of others.
Although he understood the intentions of the two old people, he didn't want to make things difficult for Tangtang.
Seeing their grandson's determined expression, the old couple of the Ruan family no longer insisted.
Madam Ruan smiled and sighed, saying, "The meeting gift has been prepared a long time ago, and we are just waiting for Tangtang to come."
Gu Yingzhou nodded.
"...Yeah! I'm done eating. I'm leaving now."
Xiuying kept glancing at the dining table out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing him stand up, he hurriedly carried the lunch box out of the kitchen.
"The things are ready. If Comrade Lin likes it, I'll make it next time." Xiuying said enthusiastically.
Gu Yingzhou: "Thank you for your help."
After saying that, he nodded to the elderly people and rode away on his bicycle.
Old Madam Ruan looked at Gu Yingzhou's back for a long time before she looked away.
"Lao Ruan, what do you think?"
Mr. Ruan thought she was asking what he thought of the little girl Lin Tang, so he quickly said, "She's pretty good."
They had never seen her before, but they already knew everything about what the little girl looked like.
She is a good girl for family and home!
Old Madam Ruan was slightly startled and gave her a look of contempt.
"Who said that? I mean, Yingzhou's partner finally came to Hai City, so are we really not going to do anything?"
Her tone was bewitching.
"Don't you want to see Tangtang?"
"This is your only chance to see Tangtang before Old Gu, you're always talking about. Do you really want to let it slip away?"
"After all, we are just Yingzhou's in-laws..."
Before he could finish his words, the old man stood up suddenly as if he had been electrocuted on the buttocks.
"...What are you doing?"
There was a hint of smile in Mrs. Ruan's eyes.
There was a sense of pride in his tone.
...I knew the old man couldn't stay, hahaha.
Mr. Ruan paused and said angrily, "I'll go find the exhibition ticket."
Then he fled to the study.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Old Madam Ruan burst into laughter.
Looking at Xiuying, he said, "Xiuying, did you see that? The old man hit himself in the face!
I was even complaining about the boss and the others sending me the tickets, but now I’m looking for them again…”
Xiuying: “…”
Madam, do you still remember that he is your dear husband?
You are laughing so happily, aren’t you afraid of angering the old man?
Gu Yingzhou didn't know how big a "surprise" the old couple would bring him in the next few days.
He held the front of the car with one hand and carried the lunch box with the other, and soon stopped in front of the guesthouse.
I had just locked my bicycle when I looked up and saw Jing Wei and others.
"Jing Wei!" Gu Yingzhou shouted.
Jing Wei glanced at the lunch box in his hand and immediately understood.
"Boss, my sister-in-law and Comrade Qin went to the restaurant and just left."
"I understand." Gu Yingzhou said and turned to leave.
He has long legs and walks like the wind.
When Lin Tang and Qin Suqing walked to the entrance of the hotel, Gu Yingzhou arrived.
"Tangtang..."
When Lin Tang heard the voice, she turned her head and a smile instantly broke out on her pretty face.
"Zhou..." Realizing that there was someone else around, she swallowed the private name on the tip of her tongue and said seriously, "Comrade Gu, why are you here so early? Have you eaten?"
As he spoke, he saw the lunch box in the man's hand and asked, "What is this?"
Gu Yingzhou's lips curled slightly.
"My elders asked me to bring it to you. Would you be willing to do me the honor?"
Qin Suqing turned into a lemon tree in just one third of a second.
She felt she should rush into the hotel and not stay.
He pulled Lin Tang's hand and said, "Tangtang, I dare not refuse the gift from the elder. Comrade Gu has brought it, so please accept it. I'll leave first."
After saying this, he rushed into the restaurant.
Gu Yingzhou gave Qin Suqing a thumbs up in his heart.
Looking at Lin Tang, the smile on his lips deepened.
"There's a pavilion up ahead, let's go there," he suggested.
Lin Tang was unfamiliar with the place, so naturally he had to listen to the host.
"Well, let's go."
After walking for two minutes, they stopped at a pavilion.
This place is located at a high altitude, there are not many people here, and it is surrounded by dense trees.
There is a breeze, it feels very comfortable.
"How did you find this place? It's quite comfortable."
Lin Tang looked around.
Gu Yingzhou took out a tissue and wiped the area clean.
Pull her to sit down and open the lunch box.
"I knew that before. Let's eat first."
Lin Tang's eyes lit up when he saw the shengjian in the lunch box.
It’s Shengjian, her favorite Shengjian.
I want this so much!
"It smells so good~" Lin Tang said with a smile.
It was rare for Gu Yingzhou to see the little girl act like such a greedy cat, and his heart softened.
Hand the chopsticks to her.
"Eat it quickly, or it will get cold."
Fortunately, the weather is hot now, otherwise it would have been completely cold.
Lin Tang responded and took the chopsticks.
I had a piece of white and plump pan-fried dumpling with a golden bottom and garnished with black sesame seeds.
Take a bite and the rich and fragrant gravy explodes in your mouth.
She exclaimed in her heart, this is the taste.
So delicious that you’ll scream!
"Delicious!" Lin Tang gave a thumbs up.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that it tasted better than what she had eaten in later life... several times better!
Gu Yingzhou smiled and said calmly, "...It's a little cold now. It tastes better when it's fresh out of the pot."
Lin Tang was eating shengjian and looked over in surprise.
Is this... a trick to get her to meet the parents?!
Gu Yingzhou looked calm and gave her an even more puzzled look in return.
"What's wrong?"
The genuine confusion in his eyes made Lin Tang feel that he was overthinking.
"……nothing."
Gu Yingzhou lowered his eyes slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips looked a little embarrassed.
He pinched his eyebrows, his tone full of helplessness.
“…I don’t know why my elders thought I would be a bachelor and stay home, but they’ve been urging me to find a partner since I turned 18.
Now that you have a partner, they are afraid that you will dislike me, and they have been thinking about meeting you and settling things as soon as possible..."
Having said that, he paused.
"I don't mean anything else by saying this, I just want to say...if my family does something weird, don't take it personally."
