Xia Jin woke up at around seven o'clock the next morning and started to get dressed. She was nervous because she had to go to Gu Jingmo's house today and had not slept well the whole night.
They packed up until after nine o'clock before setting off for Gu's house. Gu's house was not far from Gu Jingmo's courtyard, and it took less than 20 minutes to drive there.
There were guards at the gate of the family compound. Everyone in Gu Jingmo's car knew them. When they saw their car coming, they didn't get out of the car to question or register, and just let them go.
After entering the yard, they drove straight in, passing seven or eight houses before arriving at Gu Jingmo's house. After Gu Jingmo parked the car, Xia Jin followed him in. Gu Jingmo was holding things in both hands and couldn't hold hands, so Xia Jin could only follow him closely.
"Don't be nervous, baby. My parents are very good people. And ever since my family found out you saved me, they've been devoting themselves to you."
"Before I met you, my marriage partner was a huge problem for my family. My dad was so worried that his hair almost fell out. Now that I finally have someone I like, they are so happy that they can't wait to make things difficult for you."
Xia Jin said, "I know, but I'm still nervous. It's like taking an exam. Even though my grades are okay, I still can't help but feel nervous."
"Hurry up, hurry up, it will be fine after we meet."
When they arrived, only Gu Jingmo's two brothers were not at home, as they were still at work. Gu Jingmo's parents and two sisters-in-law were at home. These were the elders, and there were also some younger generations.
Gu Jingmo went forward with his things and knocked on the door. It was the family's nanny who opened the door. Seeing Gu Jingmo standing outside the door, the nanny shouted happily: "Third Young Master, you are back. Come in quickly. The old lady was just saying that she missed you."
"Sister Gui, please stop talking nonsense. When did I ever miss this brat? He's not home all day. I think he doesn't need to come back in the future. He doesn't even have me as his mother in his heart anyway."
Gu Jingmo smiled and said, "It seems that I am not welcome. Then I will leave. Then someone will not be able to see the daughter-in-law that she has been thinking about so much."
As soon as he finished speaking, an old lady walked out of the room quickly, looked at Gu Jingmo and said, "Didn't you say you had a daughter-in-law? Where is she? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Xia Jin showed her face from behind and said awkwardly, "Hello, Auntie."
The old lady's originally serious face instantly smiled like Maitreya Buddha when she saw Xia Jin. She wanted to go forward and hold Xia Jin's hand, but her son blocked her way. Mother Gu looked at her son and her expression changed instantly. She said with a look of disgust: "Get out of the way first, don't block me from talking to my daughter-in-law."
As she spoke, she pushed Gu Jingmo away, smiled broadly, took Xia Jin's hand and said, "You're really pretty. Tell me, you're so pretty, why do you like that stinky boy from my family?"
When Gu Jingmo heard his mother say this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Mom, take it easy. I only have this one daughter-in-law, and you only have this one daughter-in-law for your third son. If you tell her to run away, where can you go to cry?"
Mother Gu said with a smile: "Let's ignore him, let's go in and talk." Then she took Xia Jin's hand and walked into the house. When she passed by Gu Jingmo, she scolded him with a smile: "Stinky boy."
Mother Gu pulled Xia Jin to sit on the sofa in the living room, took Xia Jin's hand and asked, "What's the little girl's name? How old is she this year?"
Xia Jin was about to speak when Gu Jingmo interrupted her. Gu Jingmo put the things on the coffee table in the living room and said, "Call her Xia Jin. Mom, you can call her Xiao Jin or A Jin. She's 18 and she's an adult."
"Did I ask you? Just say I was asking Xiao Jin."
Gu Jingmo didn't care about being disliked. He sat next to Xia Jin, picked up an orange from the table and started peeling it.
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Auntie, you can just call me Xiao Jin."
"Xiao Jin, how did you get to know my brat?"
Gu Jingmo said: "It was Ajin who saved me before."
Mother Gu took Xia Jin's hand and said, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, who knows what would have happened to Jing Mo."
"Mom, what are you talking about? I just heard my third brother come back upstairs." Two women came down from upstairs. Although they were well-maintained, Xia Jin could still tell at a glance which one was the eldest sister-in-law and which one was the second sister-in-law.
Gu Jingmo had previously told her that her eldest sister-in-law, Bai Linsu, came from a family of scholars, with both parents being professors. She was well-read, gentle, and at first glance, seemed very comfortable and gentle. Both her sister-in-law and her parents were professors at Jingcheng University, and he suggested that Xia Jin might even take her class when she enrolled there.
The second sister-in-law is called Li Zhizhi. Her family members are all in the army. She is Li Dechen’s aunt. She grew up there. She is a carefree and unrestrained person.
Mother Gu said, "It's your third brother who has returned, and he brought your sister-in-law back with him."
The two of them came down from upstairs and saw Xia Jin, who had been in their blind spot. The second sister-in-law saw Xia Jin and walked over to her and said, "What a pretty girl! Are you an adult? Why do you look so young to me?"
Mother Gu said, "It's done, it's done. She just turned eighteen."
Mrs. Gu said to Gu Jingmo, "You are so shameless. You have the nerve to do something so much younger than you."
Gu Jingmo said: "What's the point of having dignity? Can you get a wife if you have dignity?"
"Besides, Xiao Jin is Jing Mo's savior."
Second Sister-in-law Gu said, "Really? This is also considered a favor to our family. Gu Jingmo, I tell you, you must treat others well. If you do anything bad, don't blame Second Sister-in-law for helping the right and not your relatives."
"I understand, sister-in-law. Just wait and see. I will definitely treat Ajin well."
Mrs. Gu is more quiet, but she is still happy. She can be said to have watched Gu Jingmo grow up since he was a child. Gu Jingmo was not yet born when she got married. When Gu Jingmo was born, she took care of him more. Privately, she and Gu Jingmo's elder brother always treated him as their son.
In the past few years, Gu Jingmo hadn't found a partner, and his family was quite anxious, fearing that he would end up alone. Unexpectedly, he gave his family such a big surprise. When she heard that it was Xia Jin who saved Gu Jingmo, Mrs. Gu was even more satisfied with Xia Jin.
Gu Ersao and Gu's mother sat next to Xia Jin. Originally, Gu Ersao's position should have been occupied by Gu Jingmo, but Gu Ersao pushed Gu Jingmo aside and occupied the seat herself, under the pretext of not affecting the relationship between the sisters-in-law.
The four people were chatting animatedly, but Gu Jingmo was sitting there alone, like a little cabbage that no one wanted, so pitiful.
I already liked Xia Jin, and when I heard that Xia Jin opened several stores, I liked her even more. After all, there are not many girls as capable and courageous as her in this era.
