Gu Nan's words successfully silenced everyone in the kitchen.
Wang Fenglan took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help but look disgusted: "If you don't have anything to do, can you go back to your own room? Don't cause trouble here."
"How am I causing trouble?" Gu Nan frowned, disagreeing.
"What are you doing here if not causing trouble? Tell me, how much trouble have you caused this morning?" Wang Fenglan roared at Gu Nan.
Gu Nan's face also showed a look of embarrassment and anger: "Mom, how can you say that to me? I only got home last night, and I didn't even manage to fall asleep until late at night. I haven't been asleep for long, and the house is in such a mess that it woke me up. Can't I even come out and ask what happened?"
Gu Nan also felt wronged, but he found that his grievances seemed like a joke to others.
He continued, "In the end, not only did you not help me, but you also let my aunt come up to me and make veiled insults!"
If I could tolerate this, wouldn't I become a pushover, someone who can be easily manipulated?
Aunt Gu, who was just watching the drama unfold, never expected that this matter would drag her into it.
Aunt Gu immediately objected: "Gu Nan, you and your sister-in-law are arguing, why are you dragging me into it? What does it have to do with me? Don't try to pin things on me all the time, I'm not taking the blame for this."
Gu Nan sneered: "Then what nonsense are you spouting now? Isn't this none of your business? So why are you jumping out like this? You were the one who jumped out like this before, saying I was unfilial."
"Oh, I'm not saying I'm unfilial or disrespectful to my elders. I'm talking to my mom, and you, an outsider, are jumping around like this."
Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a monkey trainer.
Gu Nanping's calm and collected words surprised everyone present.
Wang Fenglan held back but couldn't help slapping Gu Nan on the back, roaring, "Get out of here!"
Logically speaking, Gu Nan should have been very angry, but when facing his mother Wang Fenglan, he suddenly calmed down.
He said indifferently, "I saw there was some chicken soup in the kitchen. My wife is pregnant and has had a long journey, so I served her a bowl."
Wang Fenglan: ...
Everyone: ...
No, what's wrong with you?
Gu Nan didn't care what others thought. He walked straight to the pot of stewing chicken soup, ladled some into a large bowl, gave Lan Jiaojiao two chicken legs, and then calmly walked away.
He felt that arguing with his mother here was incredibly stupid; what was there to say to her?
There's absolutely no need for that. He can wait until after he finishes eating and then go ask the other Gu family members.
After thinking it over, he placed the bowl of chicken soup in front of Lan Jiaojiao, who had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that Gu Nan only brought her a bowl of chicken soup, she blinked and asked, "Brother Nan, you only brought back a bowl of chicken soup? Aren't you going to eat it?"
What's the deal with the Gu family?
Doesn't the whole family eat breakfast?
It's bad enough that they made the couple who just came back from out of town buy things on New Year's Eve, but now they're doing this. Is this what the Gu family in Beijing is like?
Why does it look so cheap?
Gu Nan nodded and said, "My mom and the others are busy in the kitchen preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. They didn't cook this morning."
Or rather, it should be done. The Gu family always gets up early, and they usually finish breakfast around seven o'clock.
However, the couple were exhausted from their recent trip and woke up late, so their family didn't leave them any food.
Gu Nan felt a chill run down his spine at the thought.
Lan Jiaojiao immediately felt wronged on Gu Nan's behalf, "Brother Nan, it's all because of me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten up so late and now you're arguing with Mom."
Gu Nan sat down and pushed the bowl in front of her: "It's nothing, what does it have to do with you? Hurry up and eat."
Lan Jiaojiao hummed in agreement and sipped the chicken soup slowly.
To be honest, this chicken soup didn't taste good at all; it had an earthy, fishy smell. She was pregnant, and she couldn't stand it after just one sip.
She covered her mouth and pushed the chicken soup in front of Gu Nan: "Brother Nan, you drink it, this tastes too fishy, I can't stand it."
"And this chicken leg?"
Lan Jiaojiao waved her hands repeatedly, "You eat. I'll cook for myself later."
Lan Jiaojiao pitifully ate the fried dough stick, inwardly cursing Gu Nan for being useless.
Gu Nan had no idea; he was actually quite pleased with himself, happily sipping his chicken soup, eating chicken legs and fried dough sticks. Then he stood up, wiped his mouth, and said to Lan Jiaojiao, "I'll go ask my dad."
"Is there something you need?"
Gu Nan then recounted the unpleasant incident between him and Gu Zixiao.
Lan Jiaojiao shook her head upon hearing this: "Brother Nan, we've already upset our family today. Anyway, you'll be staying in Beijing from now on."
If Gu Zixiao, whom you mentioned, is also going to be in the capital, then we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future.
Therefore, we should enjoy the New Year properly and avoid any unpleasantness with our family members.
That way, if something happens between you and Gu Zixiao, Brother Nan, then everyone will be on your side.
Gu Nan thought about it and realized it made sense. He hugged Lan Jiaojiao and kissed her, saying, "Jiaojiao, how are you so smart? How did I manage to marry such an amazing wife like you?"
"Brother Nan, please don't keep praising me. It's making me a little embarrassed."
In truth, Lan Jiaojiao was secretly pleased. She had only said a few nice words, and Gu Nan, that fool, had completely listened to her.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? You absolutely deserve it."
Gu Nan wasn't lying; he was genuinely praising Lan Jiaojiao. Moreover, he felt that since he got together with Lan Jiaojiao, his luck seemed to have improved considerably, and everything he did went much more smoothly than before.
Lan Jiaojiao smiled at Gu Nan: "Since you've said so, Brother Nan, then I sincerely accept your praise."
"Okay. You rest. I'll go check on my dad and the others."
Seeing that Gu Nan was about to leave, Lan Jiaojiao hesitated and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for me, as his wife, to just stay in the room like this?"
“What’s wrong with that? You’re pregnant and just got back. Even the most inhumane person wouldn’t let you do any work, right? So, you should just stay in your room.”
After Gu Nan finished speaking, he took Lan Jiaojiao back to the room to let her rest, and then he left the room to chat with his father and the others.
Meanwhile, Lan Yao was cooking with Gu Zixiao in the kitchen of their new house.
Although it's called cooking, Gu Zixiao actually handles all the side dishes and such. In Gu Zixiao's words, as a true chef, she only needs to ensure the quality of the dishes. As for other things like side dishes, of course she can't do them.
Lan Yao: "Then I'll just do nothing, how boring is that?"
While busy with her work, Gu Zixiao said, "You can chat with me."
