Chapter 144 I think I am cuter than him
Ji Nutu was easily satisfied. She teased Lin Youning, "Just queue in front of them. Mom won't compete with Gu Huaichen."
Lin Youning chuckled and wanted to answer her by saying that she could actually be ranked ahead of Gu Huaichen.
But she thought about it carefully and felt it was a bit reluctant.
Lin Youning likes Ji Nutu very much, and Ji Nutu likes her too. But she also likes herself, and the first reason why she likes her is because she is Gu Huaichen's mother, she is Gu Huaichen's wife.
Based on this factor, and because her personality might just be a little bit off-putting to girls, she likes herself so much.
Love the house and love the dog.
Lin Youning understood this very well.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Mom, you and Gu Huaichen are on the same level."
Hearing this, the girl raised her eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Really?"
Lin Youning: “Of course.”
The girl was very happy to be coaxed by her, and asked, "Is the interview tiring?"
Lin Youning shook her head, "Not bad."
She thought for a moment and added, "I quite like it."
Ji Nutu nodded and said, "Good luck in the retest."
Lin Youning: “Okay.”
"When you go on stage to perform, we will go and watch," said Miss Ji.
Lin Youning smiled and said, "Okay, I'll arrange seats for you then."
Ji Nutu: "No problem."
Lin Youning never feels pressured when chatting with Ji Nu Tu. Ji Nu Tu doesn't seem like an elder but rather like her friend. She is a great person to chat with.
After chatting with Miss Ji for a while, Lin Youning accompanied the old man for tea.
Father Gu was watching from the side and said, "Dad, don't let Ningning drink too much tea. She's not used to it and she can't sleep if she drinks too much."
Mr. Gu glanced at his father and said, "Young people like to stay up late. Don't you understand?"
Father Gu: “…”
Lin Youning: “…”
She couldn't help laughing and turned around and said, "Dad, I can fall asleep even after drinking tea."
After that, she comforted the old man, "Grandpa, your tea is very light and delicious, clear and sweet."
"It was given to me by someone else." The old man said, "I think it's a little bland. I think you young people will like it. If you like it, take it back later."
Lin Youning was stunned for a moment, but didn't bother to be polite with the old man. "Okay, then I'll thank you first."
Grandpa: "What can a family say thank you for?"
After a moment of silence, Mr. Gu suddenly thought of something and asked her, "Did Huaichen go to the hospital to see Zhong Zhengping today?"
Lin Youning was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Grandpa, do you know?"
"Humph, what a shameless guy. He already has a grandson but he still lets my grandson go to visit him. It's obvious that he has ulterior motives." Grandpa Gu said angrily.
Lin Youning didn't say anything.
Father Gu nodded beside him, "Your thoughts are all out in the open."
Mr. Gu snorted, "He is just jealous of me."
Father Gu: “No doubt about it.”
“…”
Listening to the two of them singing the same tune, Lin Youning didn't know what to do. In fact, she couldn't get a word in, but she could tell from their conversation that Gu Huaichen went to see Mr. Zhong out of gratitude, not for any other reason.
After realizing that the two elders were trying to comfort him, Lin Youning felt like laughing.
She suppressed the corners of her lips that wanted to curl up and tilted her head to look out the window. The sun was about to set. The afterglow of the sunset was beautiful, and today's sunset was also beautiful.
It was so beautiful that she felt it was gorgeous, even warm.
It's strange to say, northern Beijing has already entered autumn, the weather is a bit cool, and the weather forecast says it will rain tomorrow.
But now, sitting in the old house of the Gu family, she felt warm.
“…”
When Lin Youning's thoughts were drifting, the old man suddenly called her, "Ningning."
Lin Youning came back to his senses, "Grandpa."
"Thinking about something?" The old man smiled kindly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Lin Youning shook his head, "Grandpa, no, I know what you and Dad mean, and I believe in Gu Huaichen."
"Then you can't trust that brat too much." The maiden who brought out the fruit from the kitchen said, "You have to make him feel nervous."
Lin Youning's eyes widened. Before she could say anything, Father Gu suddenly asked, "Are you using your experience to teach Ningning?"
Ji Nutu looked at Gu's father with a proud look, "Is it not possible?"
Father Gu: “…”
Nothing to say.
When the house was bustling, the sound of cars was heard in the yard.
Lin Youning hadn't realized that it was Gu Huaichen who had returned from get off work when the servant's voice came from outside, "The young master is back."
Soon after, Gu Huaichen appeared in the living room.
After looking at each other, Gu Huaichen called out first, "Grandpa, Mom and Dad."
Mr. Gu responded and glanced at the clock on the wall. "I got off work pretty punctually today."
"My work efficiency is pretty good." Gu Huaichen said without any modesty.
Father Gu: "…are you hurrying home?"
Gu Huaichen walked over to Lin Youning and sat down. Under the gaze of several elders, Gu Huaichen openly held Lin Youning's hand and rubbed it gently with his thumb, making her skin feel hot.
Lin Youning's breathing stagnated, and he tried to break away in embarrassment, but Ji Nutu and the others turned their eyes away as if they didn't see anything and didn't tease the two of them.
The main thing is that they can tease Gu Huaichen. After all, their own children are shameless and are not afraid of being teased by them.
But Lin Youning's ears, which turned red quickly, were quite obvious, and Ji Nutu and others could not bear it.
But it didn't take long. After Gu Huaichen came back, they quickly prepared for dinner.
Several chefs had already prepared the ingredients and cooked the soup, and they just had to wait for Gu Huaichen to come home and warm it up for a few minutes.
The whole family eats together.
Master Gu asked the butler to get him some wine, but Gu Huaichen stopped him, "Grandpa."
Mr. Gu had a very good reason, "We are gathered here tonight to celebrate Ningning passing the retest. Can we celebrate without drinking?"
Gu Huaichen was speechless after what the old man said. He held his forehead helplessly and said helplessly under the old man's aggrieved gaze, "I can only drink a small cup."
The old man opened his mouth to protest, but the girl said, "Dad, don't lose what you gain."
Mr. Gu: "..."
Mr. Gu is still the head of the family. He is not afraid of anything except Gu Huaichen.
Of course, it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that I am afraid.
The old man knew that Gu Huaichen was taking care of him for his own good. His health was not very good, and as he got older, all kinds of problems came to him.
Therefore, Gu Huaichen was quite strict with his eating and drinking.
Gu Huaichen didn't allow Old Master Gu to drink, so naturally, no one else dared to let him drink. After all, Gu Huaichen was now the person in charge of the group.
"Okay." The old man is also a flexible person, "A small cup is enough."
It's better than not being able to drink at all.
Gu Huaichen hummed and looked at the housekeeper, "Go ahead."
Seeing the old man's expression, Lin Youning lowered her voice and asked in Gu Huaichen's ear, "Grandpa is so scared of you."
"He only appears to be afraid," said Gu Huaichen, "but he is actually very rebellious."
Lin Youning: “Is there?”
Gu Huaichen: "Yes, I become more rebellious as I get older."
Hearing this, Lin Youning smiled. She was silent for a few seconds and said, "I think he is cute."
"Um?"
The word cute made Gu Huaichen a little dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't think so. I think I'm cuter than him."
Lin Youning: “…”
