Chapter 61 Return Banquet 2.0
Gu Muxi met with the Guan family with trepidation. As expected, just as Gu Muwan had expected, on the evening of the meeting, all members of the Gu family were present and gathered together for dinner.
The atmosphere of the dinner was quite harmonious at first. Everyone was talking about interesting things that happened at work these days. Until the end of the dinner, Gu Lizhou, who had been silent all the time, slowly put down his chopsticks, cleared his throat and asked, "Xixi, everyone is here now, isn't it time for you to tell us about your decision?" His eyes were fixed on Gu Muxi, as if he wanted to peek into her true thoughts deep in her heart through her eyes.
"Dad, I want to ask you and Mom a question first." Gu Muxi's voice was not loud, but loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"What do you want to ask?" Gu Lizhou said.
"Mom and Dad, will you mind having another child in the family just because Nuannuan is back and I have other family members?" Gu Muxi looked at his father and mother.
As soon as Gu Muxi finished speaking, he saw Gu Moci, Gu Mocheng and Gu Muwan frowning.
"Xixi, Mommy didn't quite understand. What do you mean...?" said Mother Gu.
"Mom, I don't want to make them sad, but I can't bear to leave you. Do you mind if I continue to stay in the Gu family after I get to know them?" Gu Muxi expressed his thoughts.
"Silly child, how could your mother mind? You grew up with your parents. I was afraid that you would dislike the title of Gu family's goddaughter and never come back after returning to the Guan family." Mother Gu knew that Gu Muxi had such an idea, and she said hurriedly with joy on her face.
"Thank you, Mom, Dad, and Grandma and Grandpa, okay?"
"Yes, of course. This is a win-win solution." Mr. Gu said happily.
"Yes, this way, no one in our family will be missing, and it is also a good choice for the Guan family. Xixi's biological mother has passed away a long time ago, and there is no one she can talk to when she goes back." Old Mrs. Gu also agreed.
Gu Lizhou nodded. They hadn't considered Gu Muxi's choice. They had thought that Gu Muxi would choose not to return to the Guan family, after all, her biological mother had been driven out by Grandpa Guan. But this was also a good thing. The Guan family was also a prestigious family. This way, some people with ulterior motives wouldn't use the claim that Xixi wasn't the Gu family's biological daughter. When Gu Murnuan came back, he had noticed Gu Muxi's mood and some of the negative comments, so he didn't strictly control Gu Muyan's alienated attitude towards Gu Murnuan. As for the outside world's comments, he had already asked Gu Mocheng to deal with them.
Everyone in the Gu family was extremely happy, except for Gu Mocheng, Gu Moci, and Gu Muwan, who noticed that after Gu's mother finished speaking, Gu Muran kept her head down and silently drank the porridge in front of her, very slowly.
For the next week, the Guan family was incredibly busy, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to preparing for Gu Muxi's homecoming banquet. From the meticulous selection of the venue and the meticulous planning of the decorations to the careful consideration of the dishes and the repeated confirmation of the guest list, every step of the process was poured into the Guan family's immense effort and energy.
Meanwhile, the Gu family was also busy. In addition to actively assisting the Guan family in preparing for the homecoming banquet, they were also busy preparing birthday banquets for Gu Muyan and Gu Mochen.
