Chapter 311 Like a Pig's Grunt
When they arrived at the Yao family's house, several cars were already parked there. Perhaps hearing the cars, some people came out of the house.
After finishing his phone call, Chu Xiong heard a car and came out to see his son bringing A Yin over.
When he saw the tea leaves in A-Yin's hand, he raised an eyebrow. "You brat, trying to win over your future girlfriend with my tea leaves! Tsk tsk tsk!"
"You're here? Dinner will be ready in a little while."
Gu Yin greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Chu."
Chu Xiong smiled and nodded, then looked at Chu Yan: "After we finish eating, your mother and I will be heading back to Beijing for a few days on a business trip. Spend more time with your grandfather and stay a little longer, okay?"
Chu Yan took the tea leaves from Gu Yin's hand, touched her waist, and invited her into the house.
"Okay, then I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow. Go in."
Once inside, Gu Yin glanced around and saw that besides Chu Yan's family, there were also a few of Yao's maternal grandfather's friends. Gu Yin recognized these people; they often went to the wholesale market to drink tea, play chess, and chat with Gu Qingming. Gu Yin had seen them there before.
"You're here?! Please take a seat! The dishes are ready!" Aunt Zhu greeted Gu Yin with a smile and a wave as she placed the dishes on the table.
Gu Yin greeted everyone one by one. Chu Yan handed the tea to the old man: "This is a gift from A Yin. Please drink less, or you won't be able to sleep tonight."
The old man took the tea and muttered, "This was sent by Ayin. She decides how much to drink, not you!" He then looked at Gu Yin and winked.
When Gu Yin met Yao's grandfather before, he was in good spirits, but today he looked noticeably older.
Gu Yin pretended not to see his gesture and laughed, "You can't drink too much. You won't be able to sleep at night and you won't be able to wake up during the day. It's bad for your health."
The old man sighed regretfully upon hearing this: "Alright, I'll do whatever you say!"
Dinner lasted about two hours. Afterwards, Chu Xiong and his wife returned to Beijing overnight, and the others also left one after another.
Only Chu Yan, Gu Yin, and Aunt Zhu remained in the room.
"I heard from your grandfather that you've been busy with competitions lately? And you've won several awards?" Grandpa Yao asked Gu Yin with a smile.
Gu Yin nodded: "I've finished three tests so far, all of which were preliminary round questions. They were very simple and didn't require much skill."
Grandpa Yao shook his head and chuckled, "No need to be modest. If it were that easy, there would be no eliminations. Although I'm a university professor, I know about the Olympiad! Work hard! You'll be directly admitted to Qingdao University!"
Grandma Ye brought over a plate of fruit, and Chu Yan reached out and took an orange to start peeling it.
Gu Yin explained her plan: "I plan to take the college entrance examination, not to be admitted to university through the guaranteed admission program."
The old man asked in confusion, "Why? Isn't it better to be recommended for admission? After being recommended, you won't have to wait anxiously for the college entrance examination anymore. If you refuse the recommendation to Qingdao University, what if your college entrance examination score doesn't meet the requirements? Wouldn't that be a pity? This is a major life event, and you can't act impulsively!"
Gu Yin shook her head: "I have confidence in myself and I am sure that not taking the college entrance examination would be a regret for my high school life. This regret is even more painful than not getting into Qingdao University."
The leaves next to
The old lady's lips twitched. Did these two even know what they were talking about? Qingda University, guaranteed admission? Was it that easy?
"Oh, they're confident they'll pass the exam, so don't worry about it! If something goes wrong, it'll be your fault!"
Gu Yin glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Chu Yan handed the peeled orange to Gu Yin, then looked up at Old Madam Ye until she dared not utter a sound before he looked away.
Grandpa Yao ignored Grandma Ye and continued, "It's good to have news, but I'm worried you're overworking. Your Aunt Zhu kept telling me that you're working too hard and haven't been eating on time. That's not a good habit. Don't be like me..."
Before she could finish speaking, the doorbell rang, and Grandma Ye quickly got up to go to the door.
Chu Yan tilted his head and leaned closer to Gu Yin, whispering, "The people spreading rumors are here."
Gu Yin looked towards the door and saw Ye Tiantian and her family walk in after the door opened.
They weren't surprised to see Gu Yin there.
Ye Tiantian smiled broadly: "Happy birthday, Uncle! Wishing you good health and a long life! I'm so sorry we're late! You won't be mad at us, will you?"
The old man smiled and shook his head: "It's good that you're here, why bring anything else! You're late, the meal is already finished, have your aunt go and make some more!"
Mr. Ye smiled and shook his head: "No need to rush. We came after we finished eating. Tian Tian said that the people who came before us were your friends, so we didn't want to bother you. We wanted you to have more time to chat with your old friends. We can come whenever we want, there's no rush. So we waited until everyone had left before we came."
"Look at my gift, isn't it beautiful! I found it myself! It took me a whole week to find it!"
Ye Tiantian brought a set of jade chess pieces. Jade itself isn't expensive, but making a complete set still requires a lot of effort.
Grandpa Yao nodded: "You're very thoughtful."
Aunt Zhu came downstairs and said with a smile, "It's getting late now, and it's far to go back to Jianggao from here. Ayin, why don't you rest here tonight? It's not convenient to go back. I've already made the bed!" After saying that, she noticed Ye Tiantian's family. Aunt Zhu pursed her lips, didn't even glance at them, and sat down next to Chu Yan.
The old man nodded upon hearing this: "Then Ayin will stay here tonight and go back tomorrow."
Before Gu Yin could speak, Old Madam Ye looked troubled: "Well, that room upstairs has always been where Tian Tian lives. Now that Tian Tian is back, wouldn't it be inappropriate to let other people live there? Besides, everything in the room is something Tian Tian has used and is used to. Wouldn't it be impolite to let guests stay there?"
Aunt Zhu forced a smile and said, "It's alright, I've already changed everything inside."
Grandma Ye: "..."
Ye Tiantian then looked at Gu Yin properly: "You are a guest, and I should have tidied up the guest room for you when you came to my house. But there aren't many rooms in this house, and it wouldn't be right for you to stay in a place I've stayed in. How about you stay at a hotel for the night and go back tomorrow? I'll pay for the hotel."
Gu Yin: "..." baffled.
"Who is the guest?" A cold voice rang out from beside Gu Yin, and the room instantly fell silent.
Chu Yan looked at the family of three: "Is that house registered in your name? When did you buy it? How come I didn't know? If I remember correctly, the property certificate for this house is in my name, right?"
Ye Tiantian and her family of three looked displeased. Grandpa Yao remained silent, engrossed in watching television, seemingly used to such things.
Ye Tiantian stood up and said sarcastically, "I'm staying at my great-aunt's house! And her? Under what pretext is she staying here? Your girlfriend? The future mistress of the Chu family? A country girl! Does she even deserve to be here?"
"Exactly! At such a young age, you're already staying at a male classmate's house. I don't know how your parents raised you! Do you think you can get into the richest family just because of your looks? Don't be naive! Mrs. Chu will be the first to object!" Ye Tiantian's mother also stood up and started criticizing Gu Yin.
Gu Yin picked up the plastic plate containing sunflower seed shells next to her and threw it at them.
With a loud "bang," a scream came from inside the house!
Grandpa Yao paused, and taking advantage of everyone's inattention, quickly took Gu Yin's tea leaves and carefully returned to his room.
Chu Yan, who saw all his movements, was speechless. This old man was definitely hiding behind the door, slacking off and eavesdropping!
"You brat, how dare you lay a hand on me! I'll beat you to death!" Seeing his wife's forehead swollen, Father Ye immediately rushed over, raised his hand, and slapped Gu Yin across the face.
Gu Yin remained expressionless and took the uncut durian from the table to block the view.
"Ah!! My hand!! My hand hurts so much!!" Mr. Ye jumped up, holding his hand.
Aunt Zhu: "...Pfft, hahaha!! Sorry, I couldn't help it, it sounded a bit like a pig squealing."
Chu Yan smiled and coughed lightly.
