Only the shy boy was left. He happily looked at his father's figure without any regrets, then looked at his grandfather, cousin, and cousin's wife who were staring at him, and lowered his head in hesitation...
Grandpa Gu couldn't stand seeing him like this. He was a real man, but he was being so timid and coy, like a little girl.
"Come in and have dinner!" After saying this, Grandpa Gu said it awkwardly, turned around and went into the room.
Gao Xing secretly glanced at his cousin whom he had been afraid of since childhood, and his cousin's wife who had just stared at him like a wolf - he felt that his grandfather was the most reliable, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
Lin·Like a wolf and a tiger·Yan Bai was a little puzzled, is she that scary?
Only Lin Yanbai and his wife were left at the door. She didn't rush in, but leaned against the porch with her arms folded, wondering, "Hiss... That's not right. How could your aunt, with her vicious heart, and your uncle, with his big tail, have given birth to a little white rabbit?"
"Good bamboo shoots come from bad bamboos. The couple was so busy plucking bamboo shoots from other people's trees every day that they ignored their own unique shoot. By the time they realized what was happening, they couldn't bend it even if they wanted to!"
"..." I have to say that Gu Xingfan's summary is indeed very accurate, but... "I'm curious, isn't your father the youngest son? Why is he so happy that he is younger than you?"
"What do you mean your dad? That's our dad!" Gu Xingfan corrected angrily.
"...Okay, my mistake, I made a slip of the tongue. It's our dad, our dad!" Lin Yanbai deliberately emphasized the pronunciation.
Gu Xingfan then turned the page and began to answer Lin Yanbai's question: "Gu Changyue and Gao Zhiqiang didn't have children for a long time after they got married, so they went to the hospital for a check-up.
"We discovered Gao Zhiqiang... ahem, had a problem. He took a lot of medicine but nothing worked. We had both given up on him. But then, years later, Gao Xing, this precious little boy, came along. I can't hold him in my hands for fear of scaring him, or hold him in my mouth for fear of him melting!"
After listening to Gu Xingfan's explanation, Lin Yanbai suddenly realized. No wonder Gao Zhiqiang kept pushing Gao Xing in front of his grandfather. It turned out that he was arranging a future for his precious son!
"Then may I ask Miss Lin, are you satisfied with my explanation?" Seeing Lin Yanbai's thoughtful look, Gu Xingfan teased.
Lin Yanbai rolled his eyes at him, turned around and went into the house without mercy. Looking at his wife's back, Gu Xingfan chuckled and followed her.
Fortunately, Grandpa Gu’s appetite was not affected by Gao Zhiqiang. He returned to the table and picked up his bowl again.
Gao Xing, who was standing aside, was a little nervous. She stood there very restrained, holding her schoolbag straps tightly with both hands, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.
Aunt Chen couldn't stand it any longer and shouted enthusiastically, "Happy, don't just stand there! You haven't eaten yet, right? Come sit down and eat something!"
Listening to Aunt Shen's words, Gao Xing glanced at Grandpa Gu timidly and sat down slowly.
Seeing him like that, Grandpa Gu was furious. This couple was not only bad as human beings, but also bad at raising their child. They raised a good child into a sissy.
Grandpa Gu, who had been a soldier, hated to see men like this the most. But Gao Xing looked fair, tender and timid. Facing such a grandson, Grandpa Gu really couldn't curse. He simply turned a blind eye and ignored it.
Gao Xing, although shy, was very sensitive and realized that his grandfather didn't seem to like him very much. He twisted the corner of his clothes with his index finger and simply lowered his head to remain silent.
This was the scene Lin Yanbai and Gu Xingfan saw when they entered. They were clearly grandparents and grandchildren, but there seemed to be a huge chasm between them...
The two looked at each other, Gu Xingfan shrugged his shoulders, pulled out a chair and sat down. Gu Xingfan was no longer surprised by the way the grandparents and grandchildren got along.
"Happy, I heard that you haven't visited your mother yet?" Gu Xingfan asked casually.
Hearing his voice, Gao Xing shrank back a little. He was really a little afraid of this cousin: "...No, my dad won't let me go..."
Hearing this, Gu Xingfan sneered. He knew that Gao Zhiqiang was the most powerful person. In his heart, except for his own little white rabbit son who had some status, everyone else had to stand aside.
Although he was very afraid of his violent cousin, Gao Xing still mustered up the courage to stand up and looked at Gu Xingfan with his big, wet eyes, his eyes full of sincerity:
"Brother Xingfan, I know my mother was wrong in this matter. She went too far. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I apologize to you on her behalf..." As she said this, Gao Xing bowed deeply to him.
"I'm willing to atone for my mother's sins. Brother Xingfan, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. I'll definitely help you unconditionally... I don't expect you to forgive her, but if I can do something for you, I... will feel better..."
Seeing Gao Xing's serious expression, Lin Yanbai believed it. It was true that good bamboo shoots came out of bad bamboo!
Seeing his little cousin's uneasy look, Gu Xingfan raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you in the future. If you dare not do it, I will beat you!" As he said that, he waved his fist as a threat.
Although the words were very impolite, Gao Xing was very happy to hear them. There was a surprising light in his eyes and he nodded excitedly.
"Okay, just eat, why are you talking so much..." The head of the family, Grandpa Gu, spoke, and everyone looked at each other and shut up tactfully.
The next second, Gao Xing's timid voice rang out again in the silent room: "Can I ask again... Can I... Can I go see my mother?"
"Do you even need to ask? If you want to go, go ahead. Who's going to stop you? I'm not your snobbish dad..."
Hearing his grandfather's slightly stern voice, his eyes suddenly turned red with joy. He quickly lowered his head, fearing that his grandfather would see him and scold him. He knew that his grandfather hated him crying the most.
"..." Seeing Gao Xing lower his head, Grandpa Gu was a little at a loss. He didn't mean anything else. Humph! It was all the fault of that vicious couple. They threw his words behind their backs and refused to pay more attention to the child. Look at what kind of child they raised!
If I had grown up with him, it would definitely not be like this! Grandpa Gu was very confident.
What an old child! His grandfather’s thoughts were written all over his face. Lin Yanbai and his wife looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Although he was timid, he was his own child after all, so how could his grandfather not like him? Gu Xingfan still clearly remembered the scene when this little cousin came home and his grandfather happily coaxed him with delicious food...
But later, the relationship between Grandpa and Gu Changyue became increasingly strained, and she rarely came with Gao Xing.
Gu Xingfan always had a clear distinction between what he loved and hated. Gu Changyue was Gu Changyue, and Gao Xing was Gao Xing. He wouldn't confuse the two. Besides, this little cousin was quite adorable. When he was little and got hurt in a fight, the little guy even used candy to comfort him and stop him from crying...
