Chu Xingyue looked enlightened, while Chu Jiaojiao sighed, realizing that the old man had a royal background. In the past, they would have kowtowed to his family, and if they were even slightly dissatisfied, they would be beheaded. After thinking about it, she touched her chest.
Chu Xingyue could tell from Chu Jiaojiao's actions that she was thinking the wrong thing again, so she nudged her with her elbow. Chu Jiaojiao immediately pretended to sit up straight and laugh.
"Sister, are these my niece-in-law and grand-nephew?" Ye Huai asked, looking at Liu Nuoling and the other two who were sitting next to Su Jin.
“It’s Wen Nian’s wife, Xiao Ling, and Jiao Jiao.” “Hello, Uncle Ye and Grandpa Ye.” Liu Nuoling and Chu Jiao Jiao quickly stood up to greet them.
"Sister, you haven't introduced this young lady yet?" Ye Huai looked at Su Jin with a puzzled expression.
“This is Xiao Ning’s daughter,” Chu Qian said.
Ye Huai knew he couldn't ask too many questions when he heard the young man speak, so he immediately grinned and said, "Young man, you're lucky. If Grandpa were still alive, he would be so proud to know that our family has two more beautiful daughters."
Chu Qian said smugly, "That's right. Don't they know who I am? And which of them has a daughter?"
Chu Bing and Chu Yi were furious upon hearing their brother's words. "What, do you want a beating?" Chu Bing's temper was short-tempered.
"No, sis, we're all old and frail now, not like when we were kids," Chu Qian said with a pleading laugh. Chu Jiaojiao looked at her grandfather and felt it was unreal; the grandfather she remembered was serious, stern, and taciturn.
Chu Xingyue noticed they mentioned her mother. Was her name Chu Ning? Chu Xingyue raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
People in the side rooms were leaving one after another. Gu Yanci slowly wiped his fingers with a wet tissue. The main room was bustling with activity, and a glimpse of the interior could be seen through the half-open door.
Chu Xingyue, who was chatting with Xia Yiyang with her head tilted to the side, met Gu Yanci's gaze. Even though she had seen all kinds of men in her previous life, she was still attracted by the man in her eyes. How to describe such a man? His fair and smooth face had a sharp and cold look, and his dark and deep eyes had a faint beauty mark on his left eyelid. His thick eyebrows, high nose bridge, and exquisite lips all exuded nobility and elegance.
If Chu Jiaojiao saw this, she would definitely blow a lewd whistle.
Chu Xingyue didn't recognize the man; she just thought he was good-looking.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds. Chu Xingyue nodded to the man. After all, people who could come here to eat should not be from poor families. Kyoto is a mixed bag, and who knows what kind of background the person you randomly meet is?
Seeing Chu Xingyue nod, Gu Yanci smiled and unleashed a beauty attack on Chu Xingyue.
Chu Xingyue thought to herself, "This young master from a prominent family in Kyoto seems a bit silly. He doesn't have the refined and aloof air I had at first glance."
If Gu Yanci knew what Chu Xingyue was thinking, he would go crazy.
Chu Xingyue turned her gaze away and continued chatting with Xia Yiyang. Gu Yanci touched his nose and followed her outside. Xia Yiyang looked towards the door and asked, "Sister, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing," Chu Xingyue replied.
If Xia Yiyang had turned around a moment earlier, she would have seen it.
The main room was filled with a joyful atmosphere, with the elderly chatting and laughing, and children playing happily.
A family reunion dinner rekindled the bonds that had been broken for years.
A servant carried a tray with three black gold cards on it. "Xiaoling, An'an, Jiaojiao, these are the black gold cards for the courtyard house. You don't need to make an appointment to come here, it's all free. Grandpa will personally prepare your favorite dishes." Chu Xingyue and Chu Jiaojiao looked at their grandparents with questioning eyes.
"It's alright, take it. If you feel bad about it, you two girls should take care of your younger siblings in the future," Chu Qian said.
The three of them reached out and put the card away.
"Thank you, Uncle Ye. Thank you, Grandpa Ye." Liu Nuoling thanked Ye Huai with her two children.
Chu Jiaojiao proudly told her two younger siblings, "Little brothers and sisters, your older sisters will protect you from now on." After saying that, she took out her phone and added the phone number of the family she had just met that day.
The family thanked Ye Huai's family for their hospitality and agreed to meet at the Chu family's house next time.
