Chapter 915: Encountering an Acquaintance.
"Have some soup first. This is a soup I made early this morning with an old hen. There's no chicken, but it's full of dried scallops, abalone, squid, and the like—it's incredibly delicious! I also prepared sea urchin and deep-sea langoustines as sashimi. I don't know if they'll suit your tastes..."
"I never knew there were so many ways to cook these things! This is truly eye-opening! They're all from the deep sea, senior. Shall we go down to sea and collect some later?" Chi Xing muttered incoherently as she ate the salt and pepper mantis shrimp that was bigger than her arm.
Jin Wanli nodded while drinking his soup: "Okay." Putting aside everything else, humans are really good at making food.
"Then remember to get plenty of mantis shrimp and blue crabs, the bigger the better. The rest is up to you." Gu Yin was also happily gnawing on a mantis crab that was bigger than her arm.
She only became interested in these two kinds of seafood; she ate other seafood as well, but wasn't as addicted.
Jin Wanli thought of something and looked at Gu Yin: "Why don't you take some time to learn it? It might be useful in the future. I can get you the ingredients."
Gu Yin: "...Then there's no need. I don't have time. I still have experiments to do. The main problem is that I'm really not good at this. But I'm good at grilling. I'll let you try some tomorrow!"
Didn't she learn it? She couldn't! She's the type who can eat but doesn't taste good! But she's really good at grilling!
Jin Wanli raised his eyebrows: "It's not impossible, as long as you know how to do it."
Otherwise, if we want to eat here again, we'll have to travel all the way here, which is such a hassle!
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing moved closer to Jin Wanli, winking and asking, "Are you planning to come with us, sir?"
Gu Yin didn't react at first, but Chi Xing's words made her realize it immediately. She waved her hand and said, "No, no, no! Senior Jin is so strong. If he goes with me, won't I get a hellish script? Forget it, spare my life! Can you come find me again after I've grown up?"
Jin Wanli chuckled softly: "That depends on fate. Sometimes, fate is truly wondrous."
Gu Yin: "......"
"Are you going back?" Gu Qingming, who couldn't understand what the three were saying but had been eavesdropping curiously, asked in a low voice.
Gu Yin shook her head upon hearing this: "No, we were talking about work. By the way, haven't Gu Shu and Chu's parents come back yet?"
Upon learning of her return, the three immediately said they would come back right away, but it's been so long and they still haven't seen her.
"I forgot to tell you, after you had your four-day vacation, they changed the time and said they would come back tomorrow. They couldn't leave today. They thought that since you left tomorrow, they would come back right away."
"By the way, your grandma and Ale will be coming tomorrow too. Apart from your grandpa and Chu Yan, we'll have a big get-together."
To be honest, Gu Yin hadn't gotten together with them in a long time: "Let's invite Li Li's family and Master Bai too."
Other friends are fine, this is a family gathering for now, and there are things we can't let others hear.
"Li Li and Master Bai are in Gangcheng and can't come back. They said they participated in some world-class computer competition and won't be back for a month. His grandmother took him with her."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this, "Alright then, what a coincidence."
They were only halfway through their meal when there was a knock on the door, and everyone looked up.
"Come in," said Old Master Chu.
The waiter waiting at the door opened the door but did not come in. He bowed slightly and said, "Distinguished guest, there is an elderly gentleman at the door who claims to be surnamed Liang. He is with someone and says he wants to see Miss Zhou."
Gu Yin raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Was this person coming to beg for mercy?
"I won't see them. Let them leave." Gu Yin wouldn't give them any face. Behind her back, the Liang family was always bullying the Chu family. Although they couldn't actually bully them, the old man and the others didn't care about the open attacks and veiled insults, but that didn't mean Gu Yin wouldn't care.
The waiter received a reply, nodded, and closed the door.
Grandma Gu asked in confusion, "Who is the Liang family? Do you know Ayin?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingming explained to his mother, "It's that Liang family that's been jumping around online, claiming to be the richest man and saying the Chu family has problems! I didn't explain it to you clearly before because I was afraid you'd get angry!"
They had been paying attention to the Chu family's affairs and had asked Chu Xiong about it. He said there was no need to worry or care, so they left it to him. But they still felt uncomfortable watching it. The Liang family, even if they acted on their own, wouldn't be so disliked. But when they did act, they deliberately put others down and disgusted them, which was really unacceptable. However, the Chu family was currently in the eye of the storm and they couldn't do anything about it. They weren't allowed to come over either, so they could only keep quiet.
This was the first time Old Mrs. Gu had heard about this, and she was immediately furious: "We should have let them in just now! I'd beat them to a pulp!"
The old lady Chu next to her smiled and poured the other person a cup of tea: "Don't be angry! It's not worth getting angry over those clowns. We know our own business! Besides, Ayin already stood up for us at the Taoist temple during the day. They've probably come here to plead for us."
"They still have the nerve to plead for them? How can they be so shameless?!"
"Alright, Grandma, don't be angry. Let's ignore them and eat! Here, gnaw on this crab claw. It's huge, all meat!" Gu Yin turned the arm-sized crab claw to her.
Grandma Gu: "...At my age, my teeth are still good, otherwise if you were gnawing on a crab claw, I would think you were angry with me!"
Gu Yin: "......"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The meal took almost two hours to finish, after which we drank tea and chatted.
Just as the tea was served, there was another knock on the door.
After what happened at the Liang family's house, everyone looked towards the door this time.
Chi Xing, that little rascal, ran to open the door before the waiter even came in.
"It's you! Xiaosheng's friend!"
It seems to be someone I know.
"It's me. I'm here to see Ayin about something. May I come in?"
Upon hearing the voice, Gu Yin knew who it was.
"Long Yu? Come in."
Upon hearing this, Chi Xing gave up his seat.
Gu Yin then saw that there was another person behind Long Yu, Wu Chong.
