Chapter 64: Worry
"Well, it's said that there will be a half-month vacation next week." Gu Moci nodded.
"That's great. Next week I'm going to ask Brother Cheng for leave and have Brother Qi Han take me to the shooting range." Pei Yan looked very happy.
Li Qihan, this was the second time Gu Muruan heard this name.
"By the way, Sister Nuan, I heard from Brother Cheng that you went to the J City Military District to participate in an exercise a few days ago. Did you meet Brother Qi Han?" Pei Yan turned his head and asked Gu Muran.
"No." Gu Muran shook her head.
"Then you must meet him when he comes back this time, hey? Brother Ci, Xiaochen and Xiaoyan's birthdays are coming soon, right?" Pei Yan suddenly remembered something.
"Well, next weekend." After Gu Moci finished speaking, the dishes came up.
"That's great. When it's their birthday, everyone should go, whether they are free or not, and bring Sister Nuan to meet them." After the dishes were served and there were only three of them left in the room, Pei Yan continued.
"Yeah." Gu Moci simply agreed, picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up some food for Gu Muruan, while seeming to be thinking about something.
I have to say that the food in Ji Jinzhou's restaurant is delicious. Gu Muran ate a lot more than usual.
It was almost eleven o'clock when they came out of the meal. The brother and sister sent Pei Yan home before driving to the Gu family's old house.
On the way, Gu Muruan hesitated for a while and looked at Gu Moci: "Second brother, are you going to hold a birthday party at home next week?" She had heard about it from the servants at home in the past few days, but she was not sure.
"Well, they both like lively parties. They hold parties at home on their birthdays every year, and most of the people attending are their friends." After Gu Moci finished speaking, he looked at Gu Muruan, waiting for her question.
"Then, what gifts should I give them? I don't seem to know what they like." Gu Muran felt a little embarrassed.
She had originally agreed with Gu Muwan to go to the mall together to choose gifts, but she didn't see anything suitable last time. Later, Gu Muwan suddenly became busy and it seemed that she would not be back from J City until next week, so she had to ask Gu Moci.
"Actually, when they first came of age, I was responsible for preparing the gift. But later on, it was basically Ji Jinzhou who picked it out.
How about this, let him take us to the mall tomorrow? "Gu Moci's words left Gu Muruan speechless. But she still nodded and said "Okay."
When the two returned to Gu's house, the banquet had already ended. Gu's parents were sitting on the sofa, with Gu Mochen and Gu Muyan sitting next to them. They looked like they had just returned. As soon as they entered the living room, Gu Mocheng came down from upstairs with a glass of water.
"Are you back? Pei Yan took you out for a midnight snack again?" Gu Mocheng just saw Pei Yan's circle of friends. There was a picture taken in Ji's restaurant, and Gu Moci's watch was in the picture.
"Yes, I just sent him home." Gu Moci replied.
The three of them also came and sat down on the sofa.
"Did Qingqing sleep with Xiaonian?" Gu's mother asked Gu Mocheng.
"Yeah, I just fell asleep." Gu Mocheng nodded.
"Okay, let's have a small meeting then," said Mother Gu. "From Nuannuan's return, to Xiaxia giving birth, to the Guan family coming to look for Xixi, our family has been through a lot in the past few months. Today, it's finally all come to an end. First of all, Nuannuan, Mom and Dad want to apologize to you."
"?" Gu Muruan looked confused. Why should he apologize to her? She seemed to have done nothing.
"Regarding Xixi's matter, Mom and Dad didn't think it through. Ah Cheng and Ah Ci told me that they wanted to ask for your opinion. Originally, they announced that she was the Gu family's goddaughter. At that time, you had just returned and might have been embarrassed to express your opinion. But this time, Xixi proposed to stay here after recognizing herself with the Guan family. Mom admits that she was afraid that you would disagree after telling you, so she didn't ask you."
Mother Gu paused.
"Nuannuan, after all, we've raised Xixi for over twenty years, and we can't bear to see her leave the Gu family in the future. So, can you forgive Mommy's selfishness?"
Gu Muruan: ...How should she answer this...Do you mind?
To be honest, she had really thought about this question in her heart, starting from the night when Gu Muwan analyzed Gu Muxi's psychology for her.
In fact, a weak voice suddenly came to her mind, "Why? At that time, she didn't really want to return to the Gu family. If Gu Muxi could stay in the Gu family, then could she also return to her original life? Although the Gu family was good and treated her very well, she had not yet fully adapted and was always cautious and uncomfortable.
Only when she was chatting with Gu Moci and Gu Muwan, she might forget the gap between them. Only when she was with Gu's mother could she feel at ease and enjoy a little maternal love.
But most of the time, when facing Gu's father and the servants of the Gu family, she always felt like she was an outsider.
Somehow she knew she shouldn't feel this way, but she didn't know how to function normally with everyone in her family.
