Gu Zhiqi stared at Qiao Qing for a few seconds and asked, "What’s your master’s na?"
"My master’s surna is Hua, but I don’t know the full na." Suddenly, she added, "But you should know, you two seem quite familiar."
Gu Zhiqi: "..."
Great, another person she’s forgotten.
The group stayed at the Qiao Family’s house for a day, only leaving in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Mo Weiran suddenly said to Qiao Qingshu, "Sister Qiao, aren’t your family coming back tomorrow? If they’re not, co to my house for the year-end dinner."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingzhe’s face imdiately darkened, and he quickly said, "When did you two get so close? If she’s going anywhere, she’ll co to my house."
After speaking, he turned to Qiao Qingshu and said, "Co to my house."
Qiao Qingshu: "No..."
Before she could finish her rejection, Gu Zhiqi spoke up, "Co to my house; we have a big family, and my mom’s cooking is superb."
As soon as Gu Zhiqi spoke, Qiao Qingshu suddenly changed her mind and said to Gu Zhiqi, "Okay."
Upon hearing Qiao Qingshu agree, Lu Xingzhe and Mo Weiran’s eyes widened, staring at Qiao Qingshu.
Wasn’t she about to refuse?
Right, right?
Don’t think that just because she said ’no’ once we didn’t catch that!
Why is she treating them differently?!
Gu Zhiqi: "That’s settled then. By the way, do you know where the Old Gu Family ho is? Rember to go there tomorrow."
Mother Gu seed to ntion that the year-end dinner would be at the Old Gu Family ho.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingshu lightly nodded, "I know."
**
Early the next morning, the Gu Family started heading to the Old Gu Family ho.
Since returning to this body, this was Gu Zhiqi’s first visit to the Old Gu Family ho.
Though it wasn’t as big as an estate, being an old ho, it had a touch more of a rustic, historical feel than the estate.
The residence had many green pines and cypresses planted around, and upon entering the main gates of the Gu Family courtyard, a serene and tranquil atmosphere greeted them.
In the yard, an elderly man with frost-like hair and a kindly face, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, stood by the door.
Next to him stood another elder, around fifty or sixty years old.
The old master would glance outside the door every so often, murmuring to himself, "Why haven’t they co yet?"
Soon, he saw several familiar figures appear at the door, and the old master grinned as he watched them approach.
"Dad."
"Grandpa."
Everyone stepped forward to greet the old master.
"So, everyone is here?" The old master said cheerfully, then his eyes fell on Gu Xiyue, "I haven’t seen you for a few months, Yueyue has grown taller."
Gu Xiyue’s lips moved slightly, she nodded lightly to the old master, and said nothing more.
This was their second formal eting; she wasn’t familiar with him and truly didn’t know what to say.
Seeing Gu Xiyue remain silent, the old master didn’t mind, instead, he turned his attention to Gu Zhiqi, "Qiqi, co here, let grandpa have a look."
Gu Zhiqi, upon hearing this, moved slowly in front of the old master and sweetly called, "Grandpa."
"Ah! Good child." The old master responded cheerfully and then gently ruffled Gu Zhiqi’s hair, "Let see, how co you’ve grown even more beautiful in this short ti?"
Since regaining her mory, Gu Zhiqi felt more affectionate towards the Gu Family, so she didn’t find the old master’s affection off-putting.
Instead, she gently supported the old master with one hand.
