Chapter 35: What Are You All Doing?
Compared to Grandma Gu, Grandpa Gu was much more difficult to please. He picked up the teacup with an obvious look of disdain on his face.
ng Nianyao noticed it, and her heart clenched. Just as she was about to change the cup, she saw Grandma Gu quietly pinch Grandpa Gu's arm. The disdain on Grandpa Gu's face disappeared.
Seeing this, ng Nianyao subconsciously smiled. Grandma Gu saw her smile and said with a grin, "Don't mind him. That's your grandfather's personality. He doesn't know much, but he still has the audacity to look down on others."
"It's alright." ng Nianyao laughed along.
Grandma Gu saw that ng Nianyao had relaxed a lot and began to ask subtly, "Where did you co from? Was it Gu Wencheng who thought we might be bored and asked you to co back first to keep us company?"
ng Nianyao didn't know how to answer this question and could only awkwardly change the topic. "Grandpa, Grandma, would you like so fruit? I can cut so fruit for you."
"You, child..." Grandma Gu grabbed ng Nianyao's hand. "Don't be embarrassed. The both of us, along with Gu Wencheng's parents, are very open-minded. You don't have to be nervous or shy. Tell , how long have you known Gu Wencheng? When did you two start living together? Since you're already living together, have you considered marriage?"
Grandma Gu's questions ca one after another, but ng Nianyao couldn't answer any of them. What should she say about her relationship with Gu Wencheng? Was there a need to disclose a marriage that lacked emotional foundation? She and Gu Wencheng had such a vast difference in status that they were destined to be different people.
ng Nianyao thought for a mont and was about to say that she was Gu Wencheng's secretary. However, before she could respond, Gu Wencheng returned.
"What's going on?"
Grandma Gu saw Gu Wencheng and her smile widened. "Ah, my good grandson, co over and let Grandma hug you. It's been a long ti."
Gu Wencheng walked over, seemingly disdainful. "How old are you? Why do you keep hugging ?" Despite his words, he bent down and hugged Grandma Gu.
When Grandpa Gu heard that, he beca instantly displeased. "What do you an by 'old'? Are you starting to dislike and your grandmother just because we're getting old?"
Grandpa Gu picked up his crutch and playfully hit Gu Wencheng. Gu Wencheng didn't dodge and simply endured it. His grandfather seed to be using a lot of strength, but in reality, it was like scratching an itch.
But ng Nianyao didn't know that. Seeing that Grandpa Gu was about to hit Gu Wencheng, she quickly interjected, "Grandpa, you seem to have expertise in tea leaves. I happen to know very little about this. Would you mind teaching ? I've been working closely with Gu Wencheng and often interact with clients. I'm afraid that if I don't do well, the clients might be dissatisfied."
Grandpa Gu halted his playful assault on Gu Wencheng.
Grandma Gu snorted. "Nianyao, I'll teach you. Your grandfather's tea-making skills are terrible. He doesn't know how to brew tea!"
"Alright," ng Nianyao smiled.
Gu Wencheng glanced at ng Nianyao and remarked, "Grandma, I must remind you that Grandpa's tea is slightly better than yours. If Nianyao wants to learn, she should learn from Grandpa. Rember when Grandpa's old friends ca to visit? They were all here for his tea."
Gu Wencheng's words were a complint to Grandpa Gu, who instantly felt satisfied. He put away his crutch and stroked his beard. "Kid, you have good taste." Then, he turned to ng Nianyao. "You have good taste too. I'll teach you when Gu Wencheng takes you ho."
"Alright," ng Nianyao nodded with a smile.
Grandma Gu snorted, and Gu Wencheng hugged her. "Grandma, don't be mad anymore. Are you hungry? Shall we go out for dinner?"
With Gu Wencheng's return, those unanswered questions were pushed aside. ng Nianyao felt relieved and was about to find an excuse to leave when Gu Wencheng said, "I'll go get the car. Nianyao, please escort Grandpa and Grandma downstairs."
ng Nianyao was left speechless.
They went to a private restaurant for dinner. At the dinner table, Grandma Gu shifted the conversation several tis back to ng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng. ng Nianyao still didn't know how to answer and could only look at Gu Wencheng, who casually deflected the questions, frustrating Grandma Gu so much that she playfully hit him.
