At this mont, the Han Family’s Second Sister-in-Law, Bai Xiaomiao, said, "Qianru, my second brother and I can’t stay long in the Capital City; we need to return to Bishan soon. If you have ti, you should bring your husband and kids to visit Bishan."
Gu Qianru nodded with a gentle smile: "I’ll definitely go back when I have ti. I don’t rember much about my childhood, but I vaguely recall a big banyan tree."
Bai Xiaomiao smiled and said, "Co back and visit when you have ti. Maybe the place will bring back so mories."
Luo Haotian chid in with a smile, "When I’m not busy, I’ll definitely accompany Qianru to visit. By then, we’ll surely trouble you and Second Brother."
Bai Xiaomiao waved her hand, smiling, "It’s no trouble, no trouble at all. I’ll cook so authentic hotown dishes for you."
Second Brother Han Jiushan also smiled and agreed, "I’ll take you to our village then, so you can pay respects at our old father’s grave. Before he passed, he still talked about you. Once I go back, I’ll visit his grave. This way, our old man can finally rest in peace."
Hearing this, Gu Qianru felt a bit sentintal: "We’ll definitely go back to pay our respects to him once Haotian isn’t busy."
Han Jiujiang and Han Jiushan, the two brothers, had their eyes moisten hearing those words.
At that mont, the Old Lady Han looked at her sons and then at Gu Qianru: "Little Ru, co ho."
Gu Qianru used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish for her, carefully removing the bones, and smiled as she said, "Eat the fish, there are no bones."
However, the old lady transferred the fish to Gu Qianru: "Little Ru, eat the fish. Little Ru likes it."
Tears blurred Gu Qianru’s eyes: "All right, Little Ru will eat."
The old lady, even in her current state, still thought of her younger daughter, rembered her favorite fish, which was touching.
After that, no one else interrupted, and the al continued in harmony.
Just as they were about to finish eating, soone walked over: "Director Luo, Director Lu, you’re dining here too?"
The two looked over to see it was a deputy director from the Finance Bureau. They exchanged pleasantries and chitchat until soone called over, "Deputy Director, let’s go."
"I’ll be right there."
"Director Lu, Director Luo, I have to go now, sothing ca up."
As soon as that person left, soone else ca over: "Oh, President Luo, didn’t expect to see you here."
Luo Xuyuan greeted the newcor with a smile: "Have you finished eating?"
"Yes, I was about to leave, and when I glanced over here, I saw you."
They surveyed the table: "Wow, it’s a full family mobilization."
Luo Xuyuan introduced to his family, "This is President Cao from Xiangrui Technology Company; he visited our ho during my wedding."
Then the person noticed Luo Qiao at the table: "Professor Luo, hello."
Luo Qiao nodded with a smile: "Hello."
Luo Qiao had t this person before; his cousin was Luo Qiao’s student. They had t again at his second brother’s wedding and later exchanged greetings when crossing paths at school.
"Has my cousin been any trouble for you?"
"No, she’s diligent, hardworking, and a great prospect."
"Thank you for taking care of her in the future."
"Don’t ntion it."
"I won’t disturb your al any longer, I’ll take my leave."
The Han family was taken aback by the situation; they thought the Luo family must be quite sothing.
After chatting for a while longer, Gu Qianru distributed the gifts she brought. The n received tea, the won silk scarves, and the children each got a box of chocolates.
When the al was over and Han Jiujiang went to pay, he was inford by the waiter that soone had already settled the bill for them.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianru looked at the waiter: "Could you please tell us who paid the bill?"
The waiter smiled and said, "It was President Cao from Xiangrui Technology Company, but several people had co by to pay for your al too. However, the bill was already settled before, and it’s the first ti I’ve seen so many people co to pay for a al."
Gu Qianru smiled: "Since soone has already paid, let’s go."
She glanced at Luo Xuyuan and Luo Qiao: "You two handle this."
Luo Xuyuan nodded with a smile: "President Cao, it’s definitely for the sake of Qiaoqiao. But I’ll rember this favor and repay it when there’s a chance."
Lu Yichen also said, "Second brother, make sure to repay this favor."
Luo Xuyuan chuckled: "Got it, don’t worry."
After leaving the restaurant, the Han old lady held onto Gu Qianru’s hand, reluctant to let go: "Little Ru, don’t leave, Little Ru, co ho."
Seeing this, Gu Qianru comforted her softly: "Little Ru is grown up and married now, but I’ll co to see you when I have ti, okay?"
The old lady shook her head and urgently pleaded: "Little Ru, don’t leave."
Unable to refuse, Gu Qianru suggested: "How about this, Big Brother and Second Brother, why don’t you co over to my place with the old lady and get to know my ho."
Han Jiujiang and his brother had no choice but to agree.
Han Jindong said, "I’ll go hail a taxi."
Gu Qianru raised her hand to stop him: "No need, your uncle drove over here."
The Han family was even more impressed by their newly reunited sister (aunt, grandaunt).
Yet, when they saw that the entire Luo family had driven over, they were slightly bewildered, wondering what kind of family their sister (aunt, grandaunt) had married into. It seed they had overthought things before.
As the old lady got into the car, Luo Haotian asked his children, "Are you coming ho?"
Luo Qiao was the first to reply: "I won’t go. I promised my ntor and his wife that I’d have dinner with them today."
The others also said they would et up so other ti.
As the cars drove away one by one, Han Ruixue comnted: "People weren’t wrong about , I really did co here as the comic relief."
