Chapter 327: 327 The show is over, little brother

He clutched his chest, his eyes brimming with heart-wrenching sadness.

Accusation after accusation poured out as if he was shedding blood with his tears.

"You despise me now!"

"You don’t even look at me anymore. I know you were with me for my looks back in the day, and now that I’m old and haggard, you don’t fancy me anymore..."

The more Gu Yu talked, the more aggrieved he became, and the more outlandish his claims grew.

The corners of Ruan Shu’s mouth started twitching uncontrollably.

She hurried forward and wrapped her arms around the old man’s neck.

A couple of loud smooches followed.

"Stop talking nonsense. The more you talk, the more absurd it gets.

We’ve been together for half our lives; how could I despise you?"

Moreover, even if the old man were balding, his face was still handsome.

She didn’t despise him; in fact, she adored him.

She’d never tire of looking at him, even in death.

After receiving two sweet kisses, a hint of smugness flashed across Gu Yu’s eyes.

But his face revealed nothing.

Seizing the moment, he hugged Ruan Shu’s soft body and refused to let go.

The eldest brother of the Gu Family, after months of research, finally found time to come home, and upon witnessing this scene, he thought: "..."

Yep, definitely didn’t walk into the wrong house!

The affairs of the Gu Family in Jing City were, of course, unknown to Lin Tang and the others.

After setting the table in the courtyard, they finally began to eat.

Lin Tang used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of Braised Pork for Gu Ren, smiling as she said, "Sister Gu Ren, please try my cooking. If you like it, I’ll find another opportunity to make it for you."

She had found joy in cooking and didn’t find it a hassle at all.

Before Gu Ren could respond, Su Zheng held up his own bowl to Lin Tang with a pleading look.

"Sister Tangtang, I want some too!" The child cooed softly.

He spoke to Lin Tang with a familiarity and affection that was off the charts.

He didn’t consider himself an outsider at all.

Seeing this, Gu Yingzhou furrowed his brows.

He first picked up a piece of Lin Tang’s favorite dish for her.

Then he carelessly served Su Zheng some random veggies.

"Do it yourself! My partner has worked hard cooking so much food; don’t be annoying, you have hands of your own, don’t you!"

Spoiled brat!

Su Zheng, seeing his little uncle with a stern face, looked confused.

He opened his mouth wide and exclaimed in shock, "Little Uncle, don’t you love me anymore?!"

Gu Yingzhou stiffened all over, dumbstruck by the question.

He gave his nephew a disdainful glance.

"Where did you pick up all this talk about love and whatnot? Just eat your meal."

Such words from someone so young were strangely unsettling.

At the time, he had no inkling of how it would backfire.

And he certainly didn’t realize that in the future, when clinging to Lin Tang and calling her ’sweet baby’ and ’sweet Tangtang’, it would be even more unsettling.

Gu Yingzhou’s expression hardened, the chill around him intensifying rapidly.

His eyes were like the depths of a cold, dark pond.

Not just children, but even adults wouldn’t dare to meet his gaze.

But the chill vanished as soon as Su Zheng obediently began to eat.

"All right, I’ll behave," he mumbled.

Once Gu Yingzhou saw Su Zheng eating quietly, he immediately shed the frosty atmosphere.

As he straightened out Su Zheng, Su Qi and Gu Ren simply enjoyed the show while continuing their meal.

They couldn’t feel more at ease.

Good, now they knew how to deal with their son in the future.

Lin Tang, knowing her partner was concerned about her hard work, felt warming affection inside.

Her way of expressing her feelings was to keep piling food onto Gu Yingzhou’s plate.

She served him his favorite dishes, of course.

Candied Sweet Potato was the last dish she made, and it was still piping hot.

Lin Tang picked up a piece with her chopsticks.

The sugar threads stretched out, twining into a sweet thread as they parted.

The outside of the sweet potato looked crispy, coated in a layer of syrup.

It was enough to make anyone’s mouth water.

As she placed a piece of Candied Sweet Potato into Gu Yingzhou’s bowl, Lin Tang chuckled and said, "This is Candied Sweet Potato. Give it a try; if you like it, I’ll make it for you often."

After all, they were both in the county which wasn’t far at all.

If he wanted, he could have it every single day.

Gu Yingzhou had been longing to taste this sweet dish for a while now.

Considering his own dignified image, he restrained himself from digging in.

Now, gazing at the candied sweet potatoes in his bowl, his satisfaction was beyond words.

What was he feeling? Naturally, even before tasting, his heart was already melting with warmth.

It was the first time Tangtang had served him food.

Gu Yingzhou’s chest swelled with emotion, and he began to taste the dish that the little girl had served him with a very serious expression.

With one bite, his deep eyes subtly lit up.

Just as he had imagined, it was indeed extremely delicious.

"...Delicious," Gu Yingzhou remarked.

Upon hearing his little uncle praise the sweet dish, Su Zheng grew anxious.

Even his favorite meat was losing its allure.

"Mom, I want to eat that."

Not daring to pester Lin Tang any further, he had no choice but to turn to Gu Ren.

Su Qi, the wife-protecting fanatic, once again found having a child quite a nuisance.

He frowned and served Su Zheng a few strands of the candied sweet potatoes.

"Children shouldn’t eat too much sugar; a few bites is enough for you."

Having said that, he continued to serve food to Gu Ren.

Su Zheng had no complaints and joyfully started eating.

After taking a bite, his eyes sparkled.

"Sister Tangtang, this sweet dish is so delicious, I really like it, you are so amazing!"

Lin Tang was amused to laughter.

A radiant glow filled her eyes.

Gu Yingzhou gave Su Zheng a glance, thinking he was somewhat useful.

Seeing their son starting his flattery, neither Su Qi nor Gu Ren even twitched an eyebrow.

They were used to it!

If their son wanted to flatter someone, his words were as sweet as honey; few people could withstand it.

After finishing the meal, it was still early, so the group sat in the courtyard for a chat.

After a few words, Lin Tang discovered that Su Qi was an editor at Xiangyang Newspaper.

It was he who had personally decided to publish her article that brought down Xia Zhihao and Zhu Sihan.

Right away, she expressed her gratitude: "I had no idea that for that matter Qi Ge had helped out, thank you!"

When she submitted her article, she was just trying her luck.

She had even thought that if the newspaper dared not report it, she would make a trip to Jing City herself.

Unexpectedly, things went more smoothly than imagined.

What was even more unexpected was that the person who had helped her in the background turned out to have so many interactions with her afterwards.

Su Qi shook his head, glancing toward Gu Yingzhou, his lips curving up.

"It wasn’t me; the smooth handling of that matter was all thanks to Yingzhou."

It wasn’t his credit, and he wasn’t one to take credit undeservedly.

However, it seemed that his little brother-in-law had already set his sights on Comrade Lin Tang back then.

Renren kept saying Yingzhou was clueless in love, but in Su Qi’s view, that was hardly the case.

Being clueless in love was only because he hadn’t met the right person.

Lin Tang hadn’t expected the situation to somehow come around to Gu Yingzhou.

Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at the man.

Eh—

Back then, she hadn’t proposed to date Comrade Gu yet, had she?

So, was it him who had taken an interest in her first?!

Gu Yingzhou, as if by some sixth sense, interpreted the meaning in Lin Tang’s eyes.

He pursed his lips and his eyelids dropped slightly.

And so, Lin Tang saw the man’s... ear tips turn red.

Huh, was he feeling shy?

Wow.

She could almost feel a nosebleed coming on.

Gu Yingzhou didn’t realize that the redness on the tips of his ears had already been noted by Lin Tang.

Without changing his expression, he said firmly, "Since I’ve come across it, I wouldn’t let those behind the scenes off the hook easily."

His words were nothing short of righteous and stern.

His expression was as upright as the incarnation of justice, as if the light of righteousness was shining down on him.

Gu Ren couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

"When did I ever know you to be such an upright person?"

That’s too much, little brother.

She admitted that her brother was a good young man with sound principles, but even he didn’t help just anyone.
