Chapter 1016: Are you planning to mess with me?
Upon hearing this, the old lady immediately turned around, and when she saw that familiar figure appear in the corridor, she excitedly rushed to greet him!
Seeing the old lady running so fast, Gu Yin hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Grandma, slow down! I'm here! Don't run! You'll suffer if you fall!"
He then hurriedly went to greet them.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?! You always have to sneak around and surprise me, don't you?!"
Sensing the old lady's complaint, Gu Yin smiled and hugged her: "I just received the mission last night, so I rushed back early this morning. Don't be angry, Grandma! Hugs!"
The old lady had only said it casually, but upon hearing that her beloved granddaughter had rushed back early in the morning, she immediately felt sorry for her.
"It's freezing cold, come inside quickly! The old man will pour you some tea! I'll go prepare some food for you! Come in quickly!"
"OK!"
Gu Yin followed the old lady into the house, frowning as she looked down the corridor: "Grandma, there's underfloor heating in the yard, why don't you turn it on in this cold weather?"
When this mansion was first built, it had underfloor heating. After they moved in, they arranged for it to be renovated. She used to always turn it on when she was home, but today, in such cold weather, she didn't turn it on.
"Is it broken? I'll have someone come and fix it."
Hearing this, the old lady smiled and waved her hand: "Your dad and the others went to the company and aren't home. It's just the two of us at home. The house has heating, so it's not cold. We didn't turn it on. Your grandpa can turn it on later! I'm not trying to save money!"
Gu Yin nodded with a smile: "That's for the best! Grandpa! We're back!"
The old man smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Come in! It's warm inside!"
Gu Yin hugged the old man and then hung up her coat.
"Grandma! I want to eat the chicken from home!! I really want to! I'm so hungry for it!" Chi Xing came up from behind and hugged the old lady, calling out in a spoiled tone.
The old lady nodded repeatedly: "Eat, eat, eat! Enough is enough! But goodness, we're out of supplies at home. It's been snowing these past few days, so we didn't go there. Let's eat some noodles to warm up first! I'll go to the farm to catch more later! I'll catch as many as you want!"
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing immediately nodded: "Okay! I'll go with you after we finish eating!"
"The roads are slippery in the snow, especially in the suburbs. Getting chicken is easy enough; I've already made arrangements! We had too many chickens and ducks at the farm before, so I asked a friend to source them from there. He has chickens. After we finish our noodles and rest a bit, we'll go have hot pot! The weather is perfect for this!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sheng immediately smiled and made arrangements.
"That's fine! I'll go cook some noodles first to fill my stomach. Old man, you ask the others who's free to come back!"
"OK!"
Gu Yin and the others went back to their rooms to wash up and change clothes.
After washing up, Gu Yin went into the walk-in closet. It had been a year since she last came back, and the closet was now filled with many more bags and jewelry, all of which Wang Yanzhi had arranged for to be delivered regularly.
Gu Yin opened the wardrobe, looked at the overflowing clothes, and smiled helplessly: "I haven't even come back yet, why prepare so many clothes? They'll all be out of season by the time I get to wear them."
Gu Yin chose a light yellow short down jacket with a fur collar, and changed into a cashmere knit set. She looked soft and sweet, making people feel sorry for her.
"It's beautiful, even though it's out of season! It's so soft! Your grandma has great taste!" 001 flew out, rubbed against the fur collar, and looked at Gu Yin with a smile.
Gu Yin reached out and poked it: "These are all custom-made by top designers. They're not cheap even though they're out of season. Grandma has good taste, of course. Okay, let's go, let's go out."
When Gu Yin arrived in the living room, the noodles were already prepared, and everyone was already there.
Seeing her daughter return, Li Mengxin smiled and placed the bowl of noodles in front of Gu Yin: "This dress is beautiful. You should wear this color more often. It's so pretty! You usually wear white, black, and gray, which makes you look mature and composed. But this time you look so well-behaved, soft, and adorable!"
Gu Yin smiled helplessly, "I like the simple black, white, and gray style, but right now the walk-in closet has all kinds of colors, so I can wear them all later!"
"Those legs look so long! If Grandma Zhou were here, she'd take you to try on clothes again!" Gu Hua said enviously, looking at Gu Yin's long legs.
Although she wasn't short, she wasn't as tall as Gu Yin, which was truly enviable!
The old lady took out the seasonings: "Stop talking about that, eat quickly! We can talk after we finish eating! Otherwise, the noodles will get soggy!"
After finishing their noodles, everyone chatted about their recent lives for a while. Around three o'clock, led by Xiaosheng, they headed to his friend's restaurant.
The adults didn't come along; they planned to go check out the farm, so only Gu Yin and her group of young people came this time.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at their destination.
Looking at the towering skyscrapers before her, Gu Yin asked in confusion, "Aren't these all office buildings? When did restaurants start appearing here?"
Someone came over to help park the car, and Xiao Sheng said with a smile, "He runs his own company upstairs, just like your family's company, in the gaming industry. However, he mainly focuses on e-sports clubs. The employees' meal times are not fixed, so he opened this shop in the central garden on the first floor. It's not for takeout, and most of the time it's acquaintances who come to eat. The chef's skills are excellent! He's rich and capricious! Come on, let's go in and have a try!"
Gu Yin couldn't help but feel envious: "Your friend is such a great boss! Aren't all the office workers around here green with envy for their employees?"
Xiao Sheng nodded upon hearing this: "Absolutely. I heard that their receptionist was poached with a high salary. The person's goal was actually to get the job himself! Just so he could have dinner after get off work and not have to cook at home! But that's not unreasonable. This restaurant uses fresh ingredients, has good cooking skills, and generous portions. It's a win-win situation since there's no salary!"
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but do you think this is your own kitchen? You come here every day! How come you never get tired of the food? Confess! Are you ostensibly here for a meal, but secretly here to investigate me and get back at me?"
A young man's arrogant and roguish voice came from inside the restaurant.
