Chapter 81 - "Who's Gu Xi's love bento from?" (2)
Next to her, Gu Shao had no idea what was going through Gu Xi's head. He mistook her frown as her feeling nervous and anxiety from the idea of having to meet with other Gu family member that she didn't know from before.
"It's not that scary," said Gu Shao. At least the Gu family wasn't like the Lin family.
"Hmm? What?" Gu Xi turned to look at Gu Shao after she had recollected herself.
"Over on the Gu family side, there's my dad, which is your grandpa, your big uncle's side, and your little uncle side. Three boys in total, about the same age as you......" As she had not yet met them, Gu Shao merely gave her an overview of the Gu family members to let her know that things over there was not that complicated.
That being said, Gu Xi made a mental note of everything that Gu Shao had told her.
"Do you have pictures of them?" She asked.
"No." Pausing a little, Gu Shao went on, "You will see them on the day of Mid-Autumn festival."
"Okay." Gu Xi nodded. She turned on her cellphone and checked on the date of Mid-Autumn Festival. It was just two weeks away.
"Do you need to give them a heads up about me?" Gu Xi asked again in a soft voice. After all, a granddaughter had just popped up out of nowhere. Came to think about it, that seemed kind of abrupt.
"They know of you," said Gu Shao as he looked out at a certain direction outside of the car window.
–– Old Mr. Gu had arranged people to come around the school and even made a sneak trip himself yesterday when it was around the time the school let out. Did he really don't think that Gu Shao wouldn't find it out?
After a slight pause, Gu Shao went on to say, "Grandpa and the others like you a lot."
Upon hearing that, Gu Xi's eyes widened and her look was filled with surprise. "Really?"
Or was he only saying that because he was worried that she would be nervous.
Those from the Gu family hadn't even met her yet. How would they like her already? She had been with her two grandmothers at the Lin family for a long, long time and they didn't even like her.
"Really," said Gu Shao affirmatively. Then, "We are here."
"Oh?" Gu Xi recollected herself and noticed that they had already arrived outside of the school.
"Go now."
"Okay," said Gu Xi as she gave Gu Shao a smile. Jumping out of the car, she waved at him and said, "Bye, Dad."
After she was done saying goodbye to Gu Shao, Gu Xi waved at Xu Fei in the front and said to him, "Bye, Uncle Xiao Fei."
Xu Fei, who was trying to figure out the content in his friend's circle, almost didn't notice Gu Xi saying bye to him.
After waving at Gu Xi, Xu Fei looked back at his cellphone and continued to try to make sense of the two articles that his boss had posted to his friend's circle.
The two articles were The Effects of Parents on Their Children and The Importance of Genetics in Children's Future Development?!
Gu Shao rarely post anything to his friend's circle at all and, even when he did, the content was mostly related to new products or new technologies or perhaps technical articles.
Xu Fei had been studying these two articles the entire night and noticed that, other than these being soft skills from some so-called "experts" that were actually click baits and one even complete with a link to some baby formulas, he failed to notice what was so special about them.
Had his boss not responded to one of the comments with a "make sense" in his regular tone, he would strong suspect that his boss's account had been hacked.
In the backseat, Gu Shao waited until he saw Gu Xi had walked through the entrance to her school before he said to the chauffeur, "Let's go. Head to A University first."
