Bai Qianmo paused slightly, sensing something was amiss.
"Grandpa, Gu Jueye has been quite busy lately."
Old Master Bai snorted coldly: "Even if you're busy, you still have to eat, right?"
Xu Hualan winked at Bai Qianmo, indicating that there was no way to avoid it. If Gu Jueye wanted to continue his relationship with Qianmo, he would have to get past the old man sooner or later.
Bai Qianmo understood and said nothing more.
Xu Hualan smiled and said, "Then I'll go out to buy groceries first thing tomorrow morning. Aye really likes the food I cook."
"Why buy anything? He'll eat whatever we have at home. It's not like he's a special guest!"
Bai Qianmo: "..."
Xu Hualan: "..."
Bai Kangcheng coughed lightly. He had learned a thing or two about Qianmo's relationship with the Gu family man from his wife.
Right now, the old man doesn't want Qianmo to date Gu Jueye because the other party's social status is too high. In the past two days, the old man has met with many friends for this reason, with the aim of finding a blind date for Qianmo.
"Dad, guests are guests, and the Bai family should still show basic courtesy."
The old man always listened to his eldest son, and since he was only saying things out of anger, he paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Do as you please."

Back to the room
Bai Qianmo left a message for Gu Jueye directly on WeChat.
Little Fairy: Grandpa wants to invite you to our house for dinner tomorrow, but it might be a trap.
Gu Jia
Gu Jueye was having dinner at home with his parents, Gu Laoye and Gu Laoye. Gu Zhizhou and Qin Lin were also there.
Madam Gu's gaze swept lightly over Gu Jueye, then unconsciously fell on the empty seat next to him.
He sighed, seemingly lost in thought.
"Mom, is it that the food doesn't suit your taste?"
Madam Gu shook her head: "I can't help but worry when I see your son."
Gu Jueye's fingers, which were holding the chopsticks, trembled slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his lowered eyes.
The old lady's performance time has begun again.
“You know, Seventh Brother is so old now, and there’s no one to take care of him. Every time our whole family has a meal together, the chair next to him is empty. I’m thinking, will I ever see someone sit down in that chair in my lifetime?”
The old lady's unspoken meaning was quite clear.
Gu Zhizhou glanced at his son: "You actually listened to what your grandmother said? You're such a grown man, and you still need your grandmother to worry about your marriage? Are you ugly or incompetent? Why can't you find a woman willing to be with you?"
As a mother, Qin Lin couldn't help but defend her son.
"I don't like hearing that. What do you mean by being ugly and incompetent? Does he have either of those qualities? I think he's just too withdrawn and doesn't know how to get along with girls. So many girls pursued him when he was young, and his excuse for rejecting them was always the same: 'Go ask my mom.' It made me seem like a shrew in the eyes of his female classmates."
When talking about the past, Qin Lin also had a lot of bitterness to say.
I remember once attending a friend's daughter's birthday party. When she arrived, she scared the girl so much that she cried on the spot.
It was only after inquiring that I learned that my friend's daughter had confessed her feelings to her son, but the son rejected her by saying "Ask my mom." From then on, the girl developed a shadow over her.
In those years, she was almost as tragic as Dou E.
Originally, she thought her son was still young and should focus on his studies. But now he's almost thirty and still doesn't have a proper girlfriend. Not to mention the two elders are worried, even she, as his mother, is starting to get anxious.
Qin Lin suddenly remembered something and tentatively asked, "At the tea party your Aunt Song Qing hosted the other day, you said you chose a girl to dance the opening dance that night. What did you think of that girl?"
Someone who had been keeping their eyes closed finally spared a glance at the "marriage-forcing team" after hearing Qin Lin's words.
"Good!"
"Really? Is this your type?" Qin Lin was secretly delighted.
It seems Song Qing has good taste; this kid has never praised a girl in front of them before, this is truly the first time.
Gu Jueye seemed to be seriously considering the question, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It perfectly matches my preferences."
Qin Lin's eyes widened in surprise: "What did you say?"
Gu Zhizhou said, "My son said he likes it very much."
Qin Lin reached out and pinched Gu Zhizhou's leg: "Does it hurt?"
Gu Zhizhou rolled his eyes at her: "If you keep twisting, you'll tear the flesh off. Do you think it will hurt?"
Qin Lin blinked blankly, and it took her a long time to recover from Gu Jueye's words.
"What's her name? Which family does she belong to? Why don't you invite her over for a meal sometime so we can give you our opinion?"
Qin Lin was thrilled. Song Qing's introduction must be right; the person's conditions must match the Gu family's.
Even if her family isn't as well-off as the Ye family, as long as she comes from a respectable family, she's still much better off than that wild girl from the countryside.
Gu Jueye said, "I will bring her back when the time is right."
"Okay, okay, son, Mom is still very open-minded. As long as you like it, I will definitely agree to you two being together."
In an effort to salvage her image in her son's eyes, Qin Lin adopted an open-minded and magnanimous demeanor.
Gu Jueye curled his lips and looked at Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu.
"You two must be witnesses to what my mother said today."
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu gave Gu Jueye a meaningful look, their minds clear.
They practically raised this kid; once he sets his sights on someone, he'll never easily change his mind.
He liked Qianmo so much not long ago, how could he easily fall for someone else just because of a banquet hosted by Song Qing?
