Chapter 752 - Adding a Pair of Chopsticks

Gu Media.

After the morning meeting had finally come to an end, Gu Tingyun walked out of the conference room.

A secretary immediately came up to him and said, “Third master, the design concept for the art gallery has been completed. Would you like to see it now?”

Gu Tingyun nodded.

“Send it to me.”

“Yes.”

Gu Tingyun returned to his office and clicked to open the design illustrations that had been sent by his secretary.

The secretary asked, “Third Master, which one do you think is better?”

Gu Tingyun had hired a total of four architects, each one to produce different designs. However, the final decision was still in Shen Li’s hands.

He smiled and said, “I’ll ask Ah Li and let her choose.”

“Yes.”

Gu Tingyun took his phone out and called Shen Li.

...

Shen Li had just arrived at Mi Xing Road.

Gu Tingfeng’s family basically lived in this single-family villa in Hong Kong City.

Gu Siyang drove the car straight into the courtyard.

As soon as he got out of the car, he impatiently called out, “Dad! Mom! We’re back!”

Gu Tingfeng walked out of the house, beaming widely.

“Ah Li is here? Siyang, quickly come over and help your mom!”

Liang Su followed behind him and said with a smile, “I see that Huaiyu is here too. Come in and have a seat.”

Gu Siyang had mentioned that Lu Huaiyu was also here, so Gu Tingfeng and his wife were not surprised to see him.

Lu Huaiyu greeted them with a smile.

Shen Li was following behind. However, just as she was about to follow them in, she received a call from Gu Tingyun.

“Third Uncle?”

At this moment, the people in front had already entered, so only Lu Huaiyu heard this. He turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Ah Li, the design drafts for the gallery are ready. I’ve already sent them to your phone. There are four proposals. When do you think you’ll have the time to choose the one you like the most?”

Shen Li was stunned. She had not expected Gu Tingyun to have actually prepared four drafts.

Her heart warmed.

“Thank you, Third Uncle. I’ll look through them later.”

Gu Tingyun smiled.

“There’s no rush. You can take your time.”

Gu Tingfeng, who had already entered the house, turned around and saw that Shen Li was still in the courtyard. He urged her.

“Ah Li? It’s quite hot outside. Come in quickly!”

Shen Li quickly replied, “Thank you, First Uncle. I’ll be right there.”

Gu Tingyun slowly raised his eyebrows.

“Ah Li, are you... at my big brother’s place now?”

Shen Li nodded and said simply, “I came over for lunch.”

Gu Tingyun smiled and said, “Is that so?”

A minute later, Shen Li hung up the phone and walked into the house.

Lu Huaiyu was waiting for her at the door.

Gu Tingfeng raised his voice again and asked, “Ah Li, what would you like to drink?”

Shen Li said, “Anything is fine, First Uncle.”

...

Ten minutes later, Shen Zhijin arrived.

Shen Li had been counting the minutes till his arrival, so when she saw that familiar figure, she immediately stood up and went to receive him.

“Dad.”

Actually, Shen Zhijin had not been here for many years.

When he saw Shen Li, a faint smile spread across his face.

“Tangtang.”

He handed over an exquisite gift bag.

“A reward.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

Shen Li took it, her eyes curved in a smile.

“Dad, First Uncle and Aunt are inside, waiting for you.”

Shen Li spoke as she led him inside.

“I tried calling you earlier. Why was the line busy?”

Shen Zhijin patted her head.

“Since the results were out, I decided to ask your teacher about some things.”

Shen Li blinked.

Was this considered... the communication between the parents and the teacher after exam results came out?

Although it did not seem like there was much to ask about her results, it still felt very different.

She asked curiously, “How did your conversation with Teacher Xia go?”

Shen Zhijin smiled and said, “Pretty good.”

As they spoke, the two of them entered the house.

Lu Huaiyu stood up.

“Teacher Shen.”

Shen Zhijin nodded before looking at Gu Tingfeng.

“Big Brother.”

Gu Tingfeng looked at him and finally raised his hand.

“Please have a seat.”

Shen Li accompanied Shen Zhijin to sit down on the sofa and asked softly, “Dad, have you been here before?”

She felt that Shen Zhijin seemed to be quite familiar with this place.

Shen Zhijin paused for a moment and nodded slightly.

Liang Su also came out to greet Shen Zhijin. When she heard this, she could not help but laugh.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shen Zhijin had been here quite a few times.

It was not only here. He had been to every one of the Gu family’s mansions.

The Gu siblings were on good terms with each other and Gu Tingyin had often gone to these houses.

In the beginning, wherever she had gone, Shen Zhijin would only send her to the door of the house.

It was only after a long time that he had come along with her.

Liang Su thought of the past and sighed with emotion.

“Zhijin, would you prefer boat porridge or pumpkin porridge?”

Shen Zhijin looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li said, “I remember that you just had boat porridge yesterday. How about pumpkin porridge?”

Shen Zhijin smiled.

“Okay.”

He looked at Liang Su.

“Pumpkin porridge, please. Thank you, Sister-in-law.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of steam came from the courtyard outside.

Shen Li looked outside and saw a familiar black car.

“Isn’t that Little Uncle’s car–”

In the next moment, a figure got out of the car.

Yes, it was indeed Gu Tinglan, and he seemed to be carrying a gift box in her hand.

Gu Tingfeng frowned.

“Why is No. 5 here?”

Lu Huaiyu sipped his tea without saying a word.

Gu Tinglan had already walked in.

“Big Brother.”

He pretended not to notice Gu Tingfeng’s gaze and walked directly to Shen Li’s side.

“Ah Li, I heard that you did well in your exams. Here’s a gift for you.”

Shen Li had not expected him to be so well prepared.

“... Thank you, Little Uncle...”

Gu Tingfeng could only turn his head and call out to Gu Siyang.

“Siyang, add a pair of chopsticks.”

“Hey!”

Gu Tinglan looked at Shen Li.

“Ah Li, where are your results? Let me take a look.”

Just as Shen Li was about to hand her phone over, an even bigger commotion came from outside.

The small group of people turned their heads to look and saw–

Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu alighting from the car.

Gu Tingfeng was stunned.

“No, this–”

Then, it was Gu Tingchuan and his family of four.

Gu Tinglan looked at them and suddenly smiled faintly.

“Big Brother, did you... invite Father, Mother, and Second Brother?”

Gu Tingfeng’s words were stuck in his throat.

What nonsense!

Would he be so thoughtless?! Why would he invite so many people?!

Before he could say anything, they had already entered the door.

Gu Tingfeng could only say.

“Siyang! Add... six more pairs of chopsticks!”

Gu Siyang rushed out of the kitchen and was shocked.

“What?!”

When he saw Old Master Gu and the others, he was in a bad mood.

No, why are they all here?!

...

After twenty minutes of chaos, the table was set and everyone had sat down.

Because there were too many people, Gu Tingfeng had been forced to call for extra dishes to be delivered by a private food delivery service at the last minute.

The dining table was full with the members of the large family around it.

Gu Siyang sighed.

“There are too many people. Why didn’t I feel that there were so many people at home before?!”

Before he could finish her sentence, another car drove into the compound.

Then, Gu Tingyun walked in.

Gu Tingfeng could not take it anymore.

“Why are you here too?!”

There weren’t enough bowls and chopsticks in this house!

Gu Tinglan still had some conscience and asked, “Is Third Brother also here to celebrate Ah Li’s final exam results?”

Tap.

Gu Tingyun put down the thing in his hand and gave a slight smile as he said, “Oh, so that’s the reason why.”

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Gu Tinglan’s mood improved greatly.

Tsk, so he was not the only one who had not been invited.

But it was still alright. At least he knew why he was here.

Gu Tingyun walked over slowly.

“Siyang, add a pair of chopsticks please.”
