On his way home, Gu Zixiao tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, pondering what had happened between Lan Yao and Wang Lei that morning.
After a moment, he decided to have someone investigate the Lan family's affairs. As for Lan Yao's matter, Gu Zixiao wanted to ask Lan Yao after he returned before making a decision.
After he made up his mind, a small ball appeared on his finger. He touched the ball, and a paper crane came out of it.
Soon the paper crane flew out of the car and disappeared inside.
Gu Zixiao continued driving. It was already quite late, and he wondered if Lan Yao had woken up yet.
Thinking of this, he drove a little faster. When he arrived at Grandma Yu's house, Wang Zhenfeng, Lei Shengrong and Li Sangyan were standing outside the door.
Seeing the three of them waiting outside the door, Gu Zixiao raised an eyebrow and asked casually, "What are you doing here?"
Wang Zhenfeng was speechless: "Isn't it because you suddenly ran away that we were worried and came looking for you?"
Li Sangyan: "Boss, let me see who it is."
Lei Shengrong: "Thanks, boss, for letting us rest together. We're just killing time anyway."
Gu Zixiao: "...So, you guys came here to watch me make a fool of myself?"
"No," the three said in unison.
Just kidding. If they really said they came here to watch the show, given Gu Zixiao's personality, the three of them would definitely be finished.
Gu Zixiao snorted: "Then what are you doing here? If you have nothing to do, you can get lost."
Wang Zhenfeng: "Gu Zixiao, we grew up together since we were little. Wherever you are, I will be there too."
Li Sangyan said, "I was ordered to come and see Grandma Yu."
Gu Zixiao: "That's not what you said just now."
Lei Shengrong: "I'm here to see Grandma Yu too. Winter is almost here, so I thought I'd see if I could help in any way."
Gu Zixiao clicked his tongue lightly: "I heard that Grandma Yu is going to make braised pork for Lan Yao tonight, and also braised pork buns."
Wang Zhenfeng: "There are so many of us, so Grandma Yu doesn't need to cook."
Gu Zixiao: "Isn't that obvious?"
Li Sangyan fiddled with the paper crane that flew over and asked Gu Zixiao, "Boss, why did you send the paper crane to tell us to come over?"
No sooner had Gu Zixiao arrived than the paper crane he had sent out to look for someone landed on Li Sangyan's finger.
Therefore, Li Sangye only asked questions when she had the chance.
Gu Zixiao: "You all saw what happened today. I suspect there's something wrong with the Lan family. You should investigate."
Li Sangyan: "...You want to avenge Lan Yao?"
Gu Zixiao replied irrelevantly, "If the Lan family has no problems, why would they be afraid of me investigating?"
Li Sangye nodded, "Indeed."
If the Lan family truly has no problems, then they naturally have nothing to fear from investigations.
Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit tense, Wang Zhenfeng quickly tried to smooth things over: "If they tell us to investigate, then we will. We're just killing time anyway, and this is a good opportunity to catch up on the rest of the drama."
Lei Shengrong nodded in agreement: "Exactly."
After saying what she wanted to say, Gu Zixiao naturally pushed open the door to Grandma Yu's house.
Wang Zhenfeng winked at Lei Shengrong and Li Sangyan, the meaning of which was self-evident.
They followed closely behind and went inside. Then they saw Lan Yao sitting in a chair, processing radishes with Grandma Yu and Grandma Li.
Seeing them come in together, Grandma Yu's expression was not good, and her tone was unfriendly: "Why are you here?"
Wang Zhenfeng chuckled, "Grandma Yu, of course it's because we missed you all. What are you three doing? Let us help you out."
Lan Yao shook the water off her hands and said to Gu Zixiao, "Since you're here, then you can help with the work."
Gu Zixiao nodded: "Okay. I'll do it. It's too cold today, it's not good for a young girl like you to use cold water."
Lan Yao nodded in agreement.
Gu Zixiao went straight to the kitchen: "I found the brown sugar I bought, and cut a little bit of ginger into thin strips, and made some brown sugar ginger water for Lan Yao to drink."
He handed it to Lan Yao: "Have some of this, it will make you feel much better on this cold day."
Grandma Li teased, "Little Gu, have you forgotten that there are two ladies here who need your attention? You can't show favoritism to one over the other."
Gu Zixiao is a stingy person, and he still remembers how Grandma Yu opposed his relationship with Lan Yao.
"I only make it for Lan Yao, otherwise I'm afraid she'll get jealous."
Lan Yao: ...
She won't be jealous!
Jade Pixiu: "Master, Gu Zixiao has such high emotional intelligence. He's so straightforward when he rejects people."
Yu Suanpan: "Isn't it because he doesn't want to please others?"
Jade Pixiu: "I think so. He might be holding a grudge. Maybe he doesn't like making things for girls other than his master."
The jade Pixiu grinned, "Master, wouldn't you say you've found a treasure?"
Lan Yao: "...I really don't understand what you're saying. Besides, before marriage, he went to great lengths to win me over, of course he would have gone to great lengths to get me. Who knows what he'll be like after marriage?"
Lan Yao had seen too much in her previous life, so she was somewhat resistant to it psychologically.
Jade Pixiu: "It's alright. We can observe it slowly. If it doesn't work, we'll think of another way."
Jade Abacus: "Pipi, what's wrong with you? Why are you always trying to matchmake Master with that pretty boy? Does Master really have to marry a pretty boy? No, a man?"
Jade Pixiu: "The problem is, does the master have a choice? I think Gu Zixiao is a very difficult man to deal with. He really does what he says and will cling to the master for life. How will the master live in the future?"
Instead of this, why not try getting to know Gu Zixiao? If Gu Zixiao is really good and treats the master exceptionally well, then the master marrying him wouldn't be a bad idea.
After all, the owner's background does have some issues.
Of course, the owner can also leave from the mainland to go to the port city.
"Then the question remains: with Gu Zixiao around, will Master be able to get to Hong Kong?"
What the jade Pixiu said is very true and thought-provoking.
Lan Yao thought about it carefully for a moment and nodded: "I understand."
As for how they know it, neither the jade Pixiu nor the jade abacus knows.
But they knew their owner had listened to them, and that was all that mattered.
After saying that, Gu Zixiao naturally picked up the kitchen knife that Lan Yao had placed beside him, found a small stool, sat down, and started working.
Afraid of embarrassing Grandma Li, Wang Zhenfeng asked with a smile, "Grandma Li, do you also want to drink brown sugar ginger water? How about I make it for you? Everyone says my cooking is delicious."
Grandma Li rolled her eyes at him and snorted, "No way. Do you think I don't know what kind of cooking you are? Li Hao said yesterday that the noodles you made yesterday turned into a lumpy soup and were almost undercooked."
Wang Zhenfeng: ...
How can you expose someone's shortcomings like that?
It's unbearable to repair!
