Luo Qianqian clung to her mother's arm and shook it, pleading sweetly.
"He's afraid of not performing well in front of you, so he's been quite nervous. Don't scare him any further."
Zou Fang chuckled lightly, "How could a grown man like him be so scared?"
However, I couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards her.
After all, his nervousness shows that he values this meeting, and his emphasis on this meeting also shows that he values his daughter.
"Mom, he spent half a month carefully selecting gifts for you." Luo Qianqian tried her best to help Gu Yunche gain favor with her own mother.
Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible smile flickered in Zou Fang's eyes.
Is it really that exaggerated?
"Anyway, you're not allowed to make things difficult for him today," Luo Qianqian said earnestly.
"Okay, go serve the dishes and clear the table," Zou Fang urged.
Luo Qianqian then washed her hands and went to pick up the table to serve the dishes and rice.
Seeing that she was busy, Gu Yunche got up and came over to help.
Zou Fang cooked two vegetarian dishes and served soup before preparing dinner.
Although Luo's father kept urging Gu Yunche to take a seat, he waited until the two elders of the Luo family were seated before finally sitting down himself.
Luo's father poured the wine and said with a smile.
"These are just some simple home-style dishes, please don't mind them."
"No, Auntie's cooking skills are too good, they can rival those of a restaurant chef."
Luo Qianqian's lips trembled slightly as she picked up her chopsticks. She had just been worried and nervous, but now she was so good at flattering her own mother.
Zou Fang smiled with great pleasure upon hearing this.
She's cooked for this father and son for decades, and they've never said a word of praise to her.
"Alright, everyone, start eating. Eat while it's hot."
Gu Yunche tasted a bite of each dish, and when he tasted the steamed pork ribs, he pursed his lips with a serious expression.
Zou Fang had been paying attention, so she asked a question.
"What's wrong? Don't you like this dish?"
Luo Qianqian suppressed a laugh; this was another performance.
Gu Yunche remained silent for a while, then spoke with slightly reddened eyes.
“My mother loved to make this dish when she was alive. I haven’t tasted this flavor in so many years.”
His words immediately softened the hearts of both Luo's father and Zou Fang.
Luo's father put another piece on his plate, and Zou Fang immediately moved the plate of steamed pork ribs in front of him.
"Eat more if you like."
"Thank you." Gu Yunche obligingly ate two more pieces.
After their commotion, Luo Qianqian also reached out her chopsticks to pick up a piece and try it.
The moment he reached for the chopsticks, he was glared at by his own mother.
"Eat something else."
Luo Qianqian pouted. Just now he said that he was siding with outsiders, but now he won't even give her a single rib.
Zou Fang had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing Gu Yunche eating a steamed pork rib reminded her of her deceased mother, so she decided not to pry into his family situation.
So, dinner went very smoothly.
Even after dinner, Gu Yunche took the initiative to help clear the table.
"Uncle and Aunt, you rest, I'll take care of it."
“Coming to your door is a lesson, how could I let you clean it up?” Zou Fang said with a smile.
“Well, I won’t eat for free, will I?” Gu Yunche said, deftly putting the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen.
Luo's father tugged at his wife's sleeve, "Let them be."
Zou Fang thought about it and decided not to stop them anymore. She watched as her daughter and Gu Yunche cleared the table and cleaned the kitchen.
"How do you feel now?" Luo's father asked in a low voice.
"What can you possibly learn in the time it takes to eat a meal?" Although Zou Fang was satisfied, she didn't say it outright.
From what I can tell, she seems like a nice person, but after all, I don't know much about her.
Therefore, it's impossible to determine what kind of person this is.
