Chapter 17: Family Dinner (2)

So when he heard Gu Jin’s voice, he immediately ran down the stairs towards her .

In order to keep his temper in check, he tried hard not to bring Cheng Xin into their conversations .

He never expected that his silly sister would suddenly be enlightened!

But he was still anxious that she would be upset with him again .

From time to time, he would look up at Gu Jin nervously, but she seemed just fine .

Gu Jin allowed Aunt Zhao to continue on with her duties . Now that they’ve seen each other, the Aunt grinned happily and returned to the kitchen .

By the time Li Mingxia returned home, it was almost 6 o’clock .

As soon as Mrs . Gu entered through the door, Gu Jin realized where she and her brother inherited their good looks .

Don’t try to lose so much weight–it’s bad for your health . ”

Gu Jin had never experienced such motherly love in her past life . She nodded eagerly and said with embarra.s.sment, “I’ll remember that . ”

When Father Gu saw that his wife had returned, he immediately put down his newspaper and politely came to her side to take her bag .

Gu Jin was pushed to the side, out of sight . She seriously doubted if this romantic man was her serious, old-fas.h.i.+oned father .

Zhao Wei’s cooking was very delicious; the food was full of color and fragrance, and the dishes were neatly placed on the table . Such a display successfully wetted Gu Jin’s appet.i.te .
