Chapter 227: No one can say he doesn't deserve her!

She wanted to see Gu Chen eat the matsutake mushroom today so that she could feel at ease.

He always took care of himself, the children, and now he was taking care of his father.

She couldn't earn money, but she could pick up food on a plate.

She also hoped that Gu Chen's health would improve.

Ji Pianran's beautiful double eyelids in front of him rose slightly, and her eye creases were long and beautiful.

Her thick eyelashes looked like two butterflies flapping their wings.

Because she had been drinking, the light in her eyes was not as clear as usual, but a little tipsy, hazy and seductive.

Her pale face was also slightly flushed, as if stained with the evening sky.

That light rosy colour was extremely attractive.

Gu Chen looked at his daughter-in-law in front of him and couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

He always felt that something was wrong.

The tone of her voice, why did it sound like she was scolding a child?

He wasn't her father, and she was being so fierce.

The point was, this fierce little appearance was quite cute.

He couldn't help but gently brush the stray hairs on her forehead behind her ear, 'Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat!'

To be honest, he really wanted to stroke her little head, but there were a lot of people and it was the first time he had met her parents, so he didn't dare.

Ji Guangsheng looked at Ji Yuanbai for a long time, smiling wryly.

'Forget it, sit down and eat. You're in luck today, my son-in-law cooked himself, and it's just in time.'

Ji Yuanbai was someone he understood. He was a bit pushover, but he didn't have any bad intentions.

He never played the role of the nice guy, no matter who was in front of him.

If someone really planted an eye, it was most likely the second son.

If he didn't say anything, then that was that. He could just find out for himself.

Besides, Gu Chen was still there, and it was the first time he was having dinner with his son-in-law. He didn't want to have an unpleasant time at the table.

Seeing that his eldest brother finally stopped asking, Ji Yuanbai let out a sigh of relief, and then he dared to go to the table and sit down.

His gaze fell on Gu Chen, and he smiled cordially.

'Hello, this is the first time we meet. I am the third uncle of Piran. Our Piran is a good boy, always sensible. You are blessed to marry him.'

These words were really...indifferent.

Ji Piran's head was a little dizzy from drinking, and she was now concentrating on serving Gu Chen's food with her head bowed.

Hearing this from her third uncle, she looked up at his face.

She hated hearing this kind of thing the most. How was she married to Gu Chen and it was his blessing?

Although she understood that this was meant to set her off, there was no need to belittle Gu Chen when praising her!

She had really heard this many times before.

Every time she had endured it, but today, perhaps because of the wine, Ji Pianran, who had always been reserved, just didn't want to put up with it anymore!

She was just about to speak when

She saw Gu Chen nod politely, 'It is indeed my blessing to have obtained Piran.'

Ji Pianran was anxious, and she immediately grabbed Gu Chen's hand. The expression on her face could be summed up in three words: Shut up!

Gu Chen was confused by his serious-looking daughter-in-law.

He looked at Ji Pianran in confusion. What was she doing?

Ji Pianran saw that Gu Chen had shut up, and she turned her head contentedly.

Looking at her uncle, she said noncommittally, 'Uncle, you can't say that. Marrying Gu Chen is a blessing for me.'

Although she spoke slowly, her tone was incredibly serious.

Compared to the Ji family, Gu Chen's conditions were a bit worse, but she was marrying someone, not marrying conditions.

She hated hearing people say that.

She was even more afraid that these people's unconscious words would hurt Gu Chen's pride.

As soon as she spoke, everyone at the table looked over at Ji Pianran's face at once.

Wu Shuhui, in particular, was shocked.

Her daughter had always kept her feelings to herself, being gentle and unassuming.

It was very rare for her to speak so bluntly.

She blinked, staring at Ji Pianran for a long time, and then looked at Gu Chen, who was still in shock.

Suddenly, as if she had realised something, she pursed her lips and couldn't help but smile.

If Ji Bianran is protecting Gu Chen like this, then she must really like him!

With her sheepish personality, she must really like him a lot to be so open and honest about it.

This is what Wu Shuhui and Ji Guangsheng are thinking at the moment.

Parents know their children best.

Ji Bianran's character is such that she can protect Gu Chen like this, which shows how much she loves him.

Even Ji Chu and Uncle Guang are smiling at the moment.

They could all see how much Ji Pianran cared about Gu Chen, and they were all happy for Ji Pianran to marry the man she loved.

Gu Chen, however, frowned.

To be honest, he really didn't expect his usually gentle daughter-in-law to argue with his family over such a trivial matter.

After all, they had not seen each other for many years, and they should at least spare each other's face.

He tugged at Ji's sleeve to indicate that she should stop talking.

Red wine has a strong aftertaste, and Ji was getting more and more dizzy.

Her usually bright almond-shaped eyes were now unfocused.

'Eat your food, and eat more matsutake mushrooms. You can't just take care of us, you work hard too!'

She felt like her tongue was about to knot, so she spoke slowly and carefully, word by word, in case Gu didn't hear her clearly.

She sounded like a child who had just learned to speak, cute and stubborn.

There was nothing she could do. When you drink too much, not only does your mind not work well and you become impulsive, but your tongue also goes numb and you speak more slowly than usual.

She really did her best!

Gu Chen looked at Ji Bianran, who was feeling dizzy.

It was then that she reacted.

No wonder she had just told her to eat her vegetables and to eat them like candy.

It turns out that when a daughter-in-law drinks too much, she can be so bossy.

But why is she so cute?

Looking at her rosy cheeks, Gu Chen just finds her more and more beautiful the more he looks at her!

Ji Chu, who was standing nearby, also looked displeased and muttered,

'Third Uncle, my sister is home for the first time today, but you don't even ask her how she's been all these years, just going straight to the formalities.'

Not even greeting his niece, but instead going straight to her husband, it really made him feel uncomfortable.

Ji Chu still favoured his sister very much.

When he was confronted, Ji Yuanbai gave a sheepish smile and raised his glass.

'Yes, yes, it's Uncle San who can't speak, but it's true that it's a great joy to have Piran come back after so many years. For this kind of joy, I suggest we all drink a toast.'

He finished and raised his glass of wine.

After all, he was the third oldest, so he had to give some face, especially to the younger Ji Piran.

You can't go back on your word, but what's past is past, and it can't go on forever.

She stood unsteadily, still holding the glass with a small amount of red wine in it, and said slowly, 'Thank you, Uncle San!'

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly reached out to take his daughter-in-law's waist, afraid that she might fall.

'Are you okay? You shouldn't drink anymore,' Gu Chen looked at her with concern in his eyes.

Seeing her daughter like this, Wu Shuhui hurriedly stopped her, saying, 'Forget it, Pianran can't drink much, so she shouldn't drink anymore.'

'It's rare for the family to get together today, so we should have a drink to celebrate!'

Ji Pianran speaks slowly, but she drinks really quickly.

Before anyone can say cheers, she has already finished the glass of red wine in one go.

Gu Chen: '!!!'

How come she can't stop?

Is she an alcoholic?

Ji Pianran's eyes are curved like a crescent moon, and she smiles as she looks at Gu Chen's helpless face.

She said seriously, 'You see, I've finished drinking. Next time, I can keep you company instead of going out drinking!'

Gu Chen used to drink and play cards outside all the time, and even when he returned to the village, he didn't stay at home.

This was Ji Pianran's problem.

She had never understood what was so good about the wine, and had long wanted to try it, but never had the chance.
