Chapter 296 : The Bastards Who Saw Each Other In The Eyes Of Mung Beans

Gu Nian was so honest that she didn't say anything.

"I'm afraid that you think I'm casual. In fact, I'm not casual at all." Gu Nian muttered softly.

The old man couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth.

This little girl, wasn't she afraid of him?

Although he didn't travel much now, he still kept in touch with several family friends, and there were many young people who come as guests with their elders.

Everyone who saw him was trembling with fear and did not dare to express his dignity.

Not to mention outsiders, even Chu Jiahong and Xiang Yulan, who have been together for decades, were still like a mouse meeting a cat in front of him?

Actually, the old man didn't like such a timid character.

He was a little happy to see Gu Nian's straightforward temperament.

But he didn't want Gu Nian to see him like that, but he still wanted to maintain the dignity of his elders.

He quickly pressed down the corners of his lips that he had just touched, and felt relieved when he realized that Gu Nian didn't see him.

"Okay, I didn't say anything. Don't lower your head as if you were scolded by me." The old man said impatiently.

But his tone was a little gentler than before, a little less defensive, and a little more approachable to the juniors.

But Gu Nian was nervous, the old man's change was really not obvious.

Gu Nian vaguely felt something, but she was not sure. Instead, she felt that she might have heard wrongly.

Therefore, she still dare not relax.

The old man put the brush into the brush holder, rinsed it a few times, and then took it out.

He didn't care about it anymore, but put the two big characters he had written before together and became "家和" (family and harmony).

"Look, how is my writing?" the old man asked, still looking forward to it.

Chu Zhaoyang usually didn't know how to say nice things to please his elders. When asked, he said coldly: "Not bad."

But it didn't sound like a good look.

Gu Nian seemed to be more sensible than Chu Zhaoyang. No matter what, she must be more obedient than Chu Zhaoyang!

Although, the old man thought that there was no one who could talk better than Chu Zhaoyang.

The old man couldn't help but look at Gu Nian expectantly. Gu Nian swallowed her saliva and said honestly, "I don't understand calligraphy and painting, but it looks pretty good."

In fact, Gu Nian felt that this was similar to the words hanging on the walls in those shops in the cultural market. She couldn't see any difference anyway.

In her eyes, they all looked the same.

The old man choked up and thought to himself that Gu Nian and Chu Zhaoyang were really the bastards who saw each other in the eyes of mung beans.

Looking very energetic, why didn't they know something nice to say?

It's too honest!

The old man hummed twice and put the words aside.

He glanced at the antique clock hanging on the wall and said, "I think lunch is almost ready. Let's go out."

Gu Nian followed the old man obediently again and left the study.

Coming back to the living room, she immediately met Chu Zhaoyang's gaze.

Gu Nian smiled lightly at Chu Zhaoyang and told him that the old man did not make things difficult for her.

Now thinking about what the old man asked her just now, in fact, they were all considering her as a person.

The old man was just doing it for Chu Zhaoyang.

Although he seemed to have a bad temper, he always gets angry at Chu Zhaoyang.

But privately, the old man was very kind to Chu Zhaoyang. He thought of everything for him and was very attentive.

Given the old man's childish attitude towards Chu Zhaoyang, Gu Nian didn't mind the old man's attitude towards her.

"You came out just in time. Aunt Gao is setting the table and is about to put all the dishes on the table before calling you." As the old lady said, she stood up and took the initiative to hold Gu Nian's hand, "Let's go for a walk and eat."

Looking at the table, Gu Nian saw that not all Chu Zhaoyang liked to eat.

"Aunt Gao learned that you are from Yucheng, so she specially prepared some seafood dishes, made according to the spicy sauce from Yucheng." The old lady explained.

"I don't know if it is authentic or not to your liking." Aunt Gao said with a smile.

"I have a very mixed taste and can eat any kind of food." Gu Nian said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Gao."

Aunt Gao nodded happily. Although she should do this, she was still very happy to be thanked..

The old lady was also happy. Gu Nian could even thank Aunt Gao. Although it was a small thing, such an attitude of gratitude was still very gratifying.

Everyone sat down. The two elders used their chopsticks first, and then Chu Zhaoyang and Gu Nian started eating.

Gu Nian first tasted some of the dishes prepared by Aunt Gao for her and praised them several times.

The old lady smiled and asked: "Zhaoyang is usually busy with work, do you eat well and on time?"

"With her taking care of me, I always eat on time." Chu Zhaoyang said, "Even if I'm on a business trip, she still has to call me to remind me that no matter how busy I am, I still have to eat even if the food is not as good as at home. She will also remind Assistant He and he is optimistic about me, and if I don't obey, he would tell her."

This was always the case every time he went on a business trip.

She treated him completely as a child.

But Chu Zhaoyang was very happy and was not impatient even once.

He would also take the initiative to eat on time without He Haoran even needing to remind him.

He would use the break time between work, even if he drink a cup of coffee or eat a sandwich, he will still eat on time.

There was a person who put himself so seriously, Chu Zhaoyang felt that this was not called controlling, but caring for him.

He felt very warm in his heart, and naturally he want to live up to Gu Nian's feelings.

It was the first time that the old lady saw Chu Zhaoyang speaking so much on his own initiative, and she was surprised and happy.

She couldn't help but look at Gu Nian.

Was this the change that Gu Nian brought to Chu Zhaoyang?

She couldn't think of anyone else besides Gu Nian.

Chu Zhaoyang, who talked more, was also more popular and emotional, making people closer and easier to get along with.

The old lady nodded repeatedly to Gu Nian: "I feel relieved when you look after him. This child is usually very indifferent and doesn't care about anything. Even in City B, he forgot to take a rest while working. He has a bad stomach to begin with, and if he don't eat well, his stomach, which was better in the past, will be damaged again after working for these years."
