Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 412
Chapter 412 It pays to have a mother’s family
Seeing that Gu Guangxian and Fang Yaru were both silent, Xiao Meiyuan was a bit embarrassed, she was truly afraid of being kicked out, she coughed lightly and said, “Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, we are really sorry for coming here at the risk of taste.”
Only then did Fang Yaru come back to her senses and hurriedly greeted them to sit down, and called the servants to serve tea and fruits.
Gu Guangxian didn’t treat Lu Ding Shen well, but he wouldn’t pull Xiao Meiyuan’s face, and smiled slightly, “Mrs. Lu, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about, back then, your husband and I were considered like brothers, and although we don’t really get along much these years, I’m really happy that you’re here.”
“Brother Guangxian is right, back then he and I were really like brothers, it is just that we are far away from each other, and we have rarely traveled over the years.” Lu Ding Shen smiled and said, “But now the transportation is also convenient, so we can come and go often in the future. Also welcome brother and sister-in-law Guangxian to play in Yawan, this time of year is the best to go, not cold at all.”
Entering the door and still called Guangxian and Yaru, a moment’s effort was upgraded to brother and sister-in-law Guangxian, Gu Guangxian secretly grunted, Lu Ding Shen, you also have today! What happened to the toughness you had at the beginning? When he was beaten to death at the train station, why didn’t he think that one day he would beg to his door?
Fang Yaru said, “I’ve been talking about buying a house in Yawan for a few years, Guangxian’s health is not good and he’s afraid of the cold, it’s best to go to Yawan for the winter.”
Lu Haochen hurriedly said, “Then why don’t Uncle and Auntie go to Yawan for New Year’s Eve, my house has many houses, so there’s no problem with how many people can live there.”
“Yes, yes,” Xiao Meiyuan also agreed, “The coldest time in the Gulf of Asia to wear two pieces of clothing is enough, and the cold time is not long, the warming is fast, the New Year’s Eve many people go down to the sea to swim in the water. Come on, we have enough room for you. We’ll celebrate New Year’s Eve together, and it’ll be lively with a lot of people.”
Fang Yaru was a bit moved by what she heard and was about to speak, but she saw Gu Guangxian shaking his head, “Thank you Mrs. Lu for your kind words, I’m a person of the old school and I’m used to celebrating the New Year in the old mansion. Besides, this house is heated, it’s not cold.”
Lu Ding Shen immediately said, “The old mansion is good for New Year’s Eve, look at the objects in this house, all of them are aged, and it is only in this kind of house that New Year’s Eve has an atmosphere. I remember when I was a student, I didn’t go back one winter vacation and spent the New Year here. The red lanterns in the corridor hanged all the way over, very beautiful, and the plum blossoms in the yard, the fragrance is unbelievable, yes, there is also snow, Guangxian brother you still remember, we put the small thunderbolt in the snow pile to play, exploding the snow everywhere, fun and beautiful.” The more he said, the more he looked like the past, “Guangxian brother, if you don’t mind, this year our whole family will spend New Year’s Eve in your place.”
Faced with such a thick skin, Gu Guangxian had a momentary daze, he didn’t really know how to take it.
Fang Yaru, however, quickly answered, “It’s not too much, of course it’s not too much, there aren’t many days left before the New Year, so stay here and leave after the New Year.”
“Aiya, haven’t seen you for more than twenty years, sister-in-law is still as hospitable as before.” Lu Ding Shen patted Fang Yaru’s ass and then ingratiated himself with Gu Guangxian, “I heard that Brother Guangxian’s health is not very good, so I specially brought some medicinal herbs over from Yawan, which are good for regulating the body.”
“I’m sorry to trouble you,” Gu Guangxian’s tone was light, glanced at the large bag of things placed by the wall, and said, “You guys, who are improvising, didn’t bring enough luggage, did you? It’s much colder here than in Yawan, so don’t freeze out of bed just to celebrate the New Year’s Eve.”
“Knowing it’s cold over here, we brought enough luggage that we didn’t want to disturb, and we left it at the hotel in town. It’s just that the conditions there are, to be honest, really bad.”
Fang Yaru then called Xiao Bo Nian, “Old Xiao, send a driver to town to retrieve the luggage of Mr. Lu’s family.”
Lu Haochen stood up, “Auntie, I’ll tag along.”
“It’s also good, it’s more appropriate for you to go, for fear that if you leave something behind.” Since Fang Yaru knew that Lu Haochen was Lu Ding Shen’s son, her impression of him was a few points better.
Lu Ding Shen watched Lu Haochen go out the door, his heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how Gu Guangxian put on a face to him, in order to see his daughter, he would rely on here.
But after talking for so long, why haven’t we seen that family of three? Lu Ding Shen was a bit impatient and asked, “Sister-in-law, why don’t you see Nian Bin and Shan Shan? Don’t they come back on weekends?”
“Back,” Fang Yaru said, “Shanshan has something on the station, she can’t come back this week, Nianbin is here, Lao Xiao, tell young master and young grandmother to come out and meet the guests.”
Lu Ding Shen suddenly got a little nervous and disguised himself by bringing a cup to drink tea.
Gu Guangxian said, “Ding Shen, why are you shaking? Are you feeling cold?”
Lu Ding Shen didn’t notice that he was shivering, and only realized that he was really shivering when he heard Gu Guangxian say so, and forced himself to smile, “It’s a bit cold, maybe I’m not accustomed to this side of the weather yet.”
“If you feel cold even after burning the heating, then I advise you not to spend the New Year here.” Gu Guangxian said seriously, “Don’t be like me and not take care of your body, and you’ll have a lot of problems in old age.”
Lu Ding Shen quickly calmed down and laughed, “And what’s old or not, I’m the same age as you, I’m over half a hundred years old, old people are all like this. Don’t look at me as if I’m very tough, a while ago I had a stroke, I was lying in bed and couldn’t move, and I’ve just recovered.”
Fang Yaru was a bit surprised and sized him up, “Really? You’ve recovered quite well, but you can’t tell at all!”
At this time, Gu Nian Nian ran in like a gust of wind and was about to burrow into Fang Yaru’s arms when she suddenly saw Lu Ding Shen and Xiao Meiyuan and called out in surprise, “Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu.”
Xiao Meiyuan hurriedly answered, but her remaining light was glancing at Lu Dingshen, fearing that he would reveal something broken in a moment of excitement. Luckily, Lu Ding Shen was quite normal, smiling happily and waving at Gu Nian Nian, “Nian Nian, come to Grandpa.”
Gu Nian Nian obediently walked to Lu Ding Shen, tilted her head and smiled at him, Lu Ding Shen surveyed her and laughed, “Our Nian Nian has grown taller!”
“Yeah, I’m five years old, and Grandma says I’ll be going to elementary school next year.” The little girl said eloquently.
“Good, really good,” Lu Ding Shen looked at the innocent and cute child, his heart was full of emotions, this is his own granddaughter ah, all so big.
Xiao Meiyuan pulled Gu Niannian over and gave her a kiss, “Our Niannian is so pretty, she looks like mommy, doesn’t she?”
Gu Nian Nian said, “Grandma said I look like my aunt.”
“Yes,” Fang Yaru said with a smile, “Nian Nian is practically identical to Shan Shan as a child.”
Gu Nian Nian added, “Mommy is prettier than me.”
Xiao Meiyuan then smiled, “When Nian Nian grows up, she’ll be prettier than mom.”
Gu Nian Nian, however, called out, “Mommy, Daddy, Grandpa and Grandma Lu are here!”
Lu Ding Shen’s heart jumped violently, raising his eyes, Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian walked in side by side. His eyes went straight at once, like, really like, those eyes were like the Moon Lady, clear as a stream, pure as the starry sky. After more than twenty years of being haunted by her, she was now standing in front of him in such a real way.
Lu Ding Shen slowly stood up, Xiao Meiyuan was afraid that he would scare Du Xiaoxian, she busily followed and stood up.
Gu Nian Nian introduced as a small adult, “Mom, this is Grandpa and Grandma from Uncle Lu’s family, they have a lot of dogs, it’s so much fun.”
Because Gu Nian Nian had once stayed at Lu Haochen’s parents’ home for one night, Du Xiao Xian had always wanted to find an opportunity to express her gratitude, and she didn’t expect them to come up to her home, and she could see that the couple were both very kind and amiable, only … that Mr. Lu looked at her with a somewhat strange gaze, as if he was excited, and as if he was stagnant, and it made her quite uncomfortable.
That gaze was very piercing in Gu Nianbin’s eyes, he sidestepped in front of Du Xiaoxian and greeted him lightly, “I thought it was some kind of guest, it turns out to be Mr. and Mrs. Lu.”
Fang Yaru introduced them, “Nianbin, you should call Lu Shibei, Lu Shibei is your father’s classmate, we used to play together, he even hugged you when you were young.”
Gu Nianbin was a little surprised, not realizing that Lu Ding Shen was his father’s classmate, so she laughed and said, “So that’s how it is, I’ve known Mr. Lu for some days now, and I’ve met Uncle Lu, I didn’t expect you to be my father’s classmate.”
Lu Ding Shen’s hand was held tightly by Xiao Mei Yuan, he was so excited that he was almost about to burst into old tears, but kept telling himself to be calm and collected and not to scare his daughter as she already looked a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to call out to her, but he didn’t dare open his mouth for fear that if he didn’t hold his breath, his whole being would collapse.
Du Xiaoxian followed suit and called out, saying, “Uncle Lu, Auntie, last time Nian Nian disturbed at your house, I’m really sorry for the trouble I caused you.”
“Not at all,” Xiao Meiyuan smiled and walked over to her, taking her hand, “But we’ve always wanted to meet Ms. Du, last time at Du Huayue’s wedding, I wanted to say a few words to you, but I ended up being a bit unwell, and I left before finishing my meal. Now that we’ve finally met, it’s true that reputation is better than meeting, you’re even better than what Haochen said in his mouth.”
Even if he was praising Du Xiaoxian for being good, but if it was coming from Lu Haochen, Gu Nianbin was uncomfortable, and he didn’t understand why Mrs. Lu had to say such a thing in front of him.
Xiao Meiyuan went on to say, “Miss Du, I’m not afraid of your jokes, my husband and I have always wanted a daughter, listening to Haochen put you in such a good way, so I said it would be better to recognize you as a daughter, originally a joke, but now that I’ve met you, I’d like to take it seriously, I just don’t know if Miss Du would be willing to do it?”
This was said so suddenly that everyone present, except Lu Ding Shen, was a bit surprised.
Du Xiaoxian glanced at Gu Nianbin and said with some difficulty, “This …”
“I really like Ms. Du, count on auntie to shyly beg you, okay?” Xiao Meiyuan continued to convince her, “I know you’re happy now, you don’t lack anything, you have a husband and a daughter, your in-laws are good to you, Hao Chen said that you’re fatherless and motherless, so we’ll be your mother’s family, that way not only do you have a mom and dad, but you also have an extra brother, and there’s more people to love you, isn’t that good?” Seeing Du Xiaoxian was silent, she joked again, “Having a mother’s family is advantageous, if Nianbin dares to bully you, we will definitely back you up.”
Fang Yaru laughed, “How could Nianbin bully her, it hurts so much!”
Gu Nianbin didn’t know what kind of medicine the Lu family couple was selling. Could it be that Lu Haochen is still undead, urging his parents to join him in hitting Du Xiaoxian’s idea? Thinking like this, he couldn’t sit still and said, “Thank you for your kind words, Auntie, Xiaoxian is timid, simple-minded, and doesn’t like to socialize, so she really doesn’t dare to climb up the ladder. Besides, she is not fatherless and motherless, in her hometown she still has an Abba.”
