Gu Ruochu's heart ached when she saw Chu Xinlan's dejected expression.
"It's not like you can only stay at home. You can come out and meet me. I usually come out to meet you as well. " She really did not know how to console her as her relationship with her brother was complicated.
"Xinlan, there are some things that are better left to nature. "
"I don't know anything at the moment. "
"Mr. Huo, please come in this way. " The housekeeper extended her hand to invite him in and smiled at Gu Ruochu, "Miss Ruo Chu, don't always stand outside like Miss Chu. It's more comfortable inside. "
This attitude of hers had already made Huo Nanchen the son-in-law of the Gu family.
"Alright. " Gu Ruochu held Chu Xinlan's hand and tossed Huo Nanchen to the side in a few moments. Although she was a little jealous, she put it away.
After entering the living room, Gu Ruochu saw Gu Zexi coming down from upstairs and tidying up his tie.
"You're back? "
"brother, where are you going? "
Gu Zexi had already come down the stairs. He was not surprised to see Huo Nanchen. He only glanced at him indifferently, "have a seat. Our old man will be coming over in a while. You can meet him while you're at it. "
Old Man Is he talking about old man Gu?
Gu Ruochu's heart skipped a beat. When she thought of the rumors about the Gu family and the old man, she felt an inexplicable sense of fear in her heart. This was the first time she had met anyone else from the Gu family.
"What should I call him? ''
She and the Gu family were almost as close as distant relatives. Her biological mother was also Gu Zexi's aunt.
Gu Zexi's originally serious expression was now amused by her. He replied helplessly, "of course, I should call him grandfather. What else should I call him? Don't be nervous. Although the old man is a little serious, he's still the kind of person who would not cause trouble. "
Gu Ruochu nodded and sat back down.
"Why, are you really nervous? " Huo Nanchen could not help but tease her when he saw that she was fidgeting. "Back then, you were so cocky when you first met me. Why are you so afraid of someone else? "
"How can that be the same? " Gu Ruochu pushed his shoulder with her hand. She was afraid that he would act shamelessly in her brother's house. "Get away from me, you're so heavy. "
"I'm so close to you and it's affecting your speech? I don't think I'm holding you down, am I? "
"If you're not holding me down, should I stop snorting? " Gu Ruochu really wanted to throw a Tantrum, but she was still at Gu Zexi's house.
Huo Nanchen finally sat up straight and did not disturb her again.
Gu Zexi scoffed and looked down on a beast like Huo Nanchen. Why did he never realize that he was such a type of person.
"You'll be having lunch at home too. I'll get the maid to pack up your things and we can go back with him. " His tone was gentle when he spoke to Ruo Chu "You can stay here more often. If anyone bullies you, don't mind coming to my place. "
Huo Nanchen's face was dark. Was this not to encourage his wife to run away?
"No need. Ruo Chu will always be at home. "
Gu Zexi was speechless at his naivety.
Chu Xinlan sat not far away. She lowered her head and did not glance at Gu Zexi from beginning to end. She was in a state of silence. When she heard that grandfather Gu was coming, her first reaction was panic.
She did not forget that grandfather Gu wanted to introduce Gu Zexi to the daughter of a prestigious family. Grandfather Gu had never appeared in this villa. Could it be that he had heard of something and came to look for her?
She suddenly stood up and tried to leave.
