Chapter 400: Is 400 trying to trick her into meeting his parents?
Gu Yingzhou felt utterly powerless in his heart.
What could he do about his little girl?
All he could do was deposit the money now and hand it all over when they got married.
The Ruan family matriarch disapproved and said,
"Whether to accept it or not is Tangtang’s own business, but whether to give the money is a matter of our attitude."
"Your grandfather and I didn’t know Tangtang was coming to Sea City, and that was fine, but now that we do, how could we not show any gesture at all?"
As she spoke, she stubbornly stuffed the stack of money into his hands.
"You take it, your grandfather and I are not short of money."
Gu Yingzhou had gotten used to his family pushing things on him since he was young.
But since he went to college at the age of twelve and considered himself an adult, he had not accepted any ’subsidy’ from his family.
Now, seeing the slightly forceful expressions of the two elders, he didn’t know what to say.
"I’ll accept the sentiment on behalf of Tangtang, but things are not yet official, and it wouldn’t be right to take it.
When I bring Tangtang to visit the family, it will be enough for the two of you to give a gift then."
His little girl was independent and proud, unwilling to take any advantage.
Although he understood the intentions of the elders, he didn’t want Tangtang to feel uneasy.
The Ruan family elders saw the resolute expression on their grandson and no longer insisted.
The Ruan family matriarch laughed and sighed, saying, "The gift has been prepared for a while, just waiting for Tangtang to come."
Gu Yingzhou nodded.
"...Hmm! I’ve finished eating, I should go now."
Xiuying had been glancing over at the dining table.
Seeing him stand up, she hurriedly carried the lunchbox out of the kitchen.
"I’ve got everything ready; if Comrade Lin likes it, I’ll make it again next time," Xiuying said enthusiastically.
Gu Yingzhou: "Thank you for the trouble."
After speaking, he nodded to the elders and rode away on his bicycle.
The Ruan family matriarch watched Gu Yingzhou’s retreating figure for a long time before withdrawing her gaze.
"Old Ruan, what do you think?"
The Ruan family patriarch thought she was asking about his opinion of the young girl, Lin Tang, and hastily said, "She’s very good."
Even though they hadn’t met her, they already knew quite a bit about what kind of girl she was.
She was a girl suitable for both home and family!
The Ruan family matriarch was momentarily taken aback, then shot him a look of disdain.
"Who’s talking about that? I mean, now that Yingzhou’s significant other has finally come to Sea City, are we really going to do nothing?"
Her tone carried a hint of temptation.
"Don’t you want to meet Tangtang?"
"This is your only chance to see Tangtang before your beloved Old Gu, are you really going to let this opportunity slip away?"
"After all, we are just Yingzhou’s maternal family..."
Before she could finish, the old man sprang to his feet as if electrified.
"...What are you doing?"
A glint of amused pride shone in the eyes of the Ruan family matriarch.
Her tone was suffused with sheer satisfaction.
...I knew the old man couldn’t sit still, hahaha.
The Ruan family patriarch paused and said huffily, "I’m going to look for those exhibition tickets."
Then he dashed off to the study room as if he were fleeing the scene.
"Hahahaha..."
The Ruan family matriarch burst into laughter.
She said to Xiuying, "Did you see that? The old man just slapped himself in the face!
He was complaining about the tickets we got from the elder brother earlier, and now he’s off looking for them..."
Xiuying: "..."
Madam, do you remember that’s your beloved husband?
Laughing so joyfully, aren’t you afraid you’ll irritate the old master?
Gu Yingzhou had no idea what kind of ’surprise’ the old couple would bring him in the next few days.
He held the handlebar in one hand and the lunchbox in the other, soon stopping at the entrance of the Guest House.
He had just locked his bicycle when he looked up and saw Jiu Wei and others.
"Jiu Wei!" Gu Yingzhou called out.
Jiu Wei glanced at the lunchbox in his hand and immediately understood.
"Boss, sister-in-law and Comrade Qin have gone to the restaurant, they just left."
"Got it," Gu Yingzhou said and turned to leave.
With his long legs, he walked away as swiftly as the wind.
As Lin Tang and Qin Suqing approached the entrance of the restaurant, Gu Yingzhou arrived.
"Tangtang..."
Lin Tang turned her head at the sound of his voice, her delicate face breaking into a smile.
"Yingzhou..." Realizing someone else was beside her, she swallowed the intimate name that was on the tip of her tongue, and said formally, "Comrade Gu, you’re here so early. Have you eaten?"
As she spoke, she noticed the lunchbox in his hand and asked, "What’s that?"
The corners of Gu Yingzhou’s mouth curved slightly.
"The elder from home wanted me to bring it to you, will you honor me by accepting it?"
Qin Suqing turned into a lemon tree in that third of a second.
She felt she should charge into the restaurant instead of standing here.
Gently tugging Lin Tang’s hand, she said, "Tangtang, one cannot refuse a gift from an elder. Since Comrade Gu has brought it, you should take it. I’ll make myself scarce."
With those words, she dashed into the restaurant.
Gu Yingzhou mentally gave Qin Suqing a thumbs-up.
His gaze toward Lin Tang deepened with a smile.
"There’s a pavilion up ahead, let’s go there," he suggested.
Lin Tang, unfamiliar with the place, naturally followed the host’s lead.
"Alright, let’s go."
After two minutes, they stopped at a pavilion.
The spot was elevated and quiet, surrounded by dense trees.
A breeze made it very comfortable.
"How did you find this place? It’s quite nice."
Lin Tang surveyed the surroundings.
Gu Yingzhou took out a napkin to clean the seat.
Pulling her down to sit, he opened the lunchbox.
"I’ve known about it for a while. Let’s eat first."
Lin Tang’s eyes sparkled when she saw the pan-fried buns in the lunchbox.
It was pan-fried buns — her absolute favorite.
She had been craving this for so long!
"They smell so good~" Lin Tang said with a smile.
Gu Yingzhou rarely saw his little girl act like a greedy cat, and his heart melted.
He handed the chopsticks to her.
"Eat quickly, before they get cold."
Luckily, it was a hot day, or they would have been completely cold by now.
Lin Tang responded, took the chopsticks, and picked up a plump, pan-fried bun sprinkled with black sesame seeds and nicely browned at the bottom.
Taking a bite, the rich juice burst in her mouth.
Her inner voice exclaimed — this was the flavor she was after.
Delicious enough to scream about!
"Delicious!!" Lin Tang gave a thumbs-up.
She couldn’t help but feel it tasted even better than any she had in the future... by several times!
Gu Yingzhou smiled and casually said, "It’s a bit cold now — freshly cooked would taste even better."
Lin Tang, still enjoying her bun, shot him a look of surprise.
Was this... him scheming to meet the parents?!
Gu Yingzhou looked back at her with an even more puzzled expression.
"What’s wrong?"
The genuine confusion in his eyes made Lin Tang think she had overthought the situation.
"...Nothing," she said.
Gu Yingzhou lowered his eyes with a barely contained smile, his lips curling in a slightly troubled way.
He pinched the bridge of his nose, his tone filled with helplessness.
"...I don’t know why the elders at home think I’m going to end up an old bachelor, stuck at home; they’ve been pushing me to find a partner since I turned eighteen.
Now that I have you, they’re worried you might despise me and are eager to meet you, hoping to settle things as soon as possible..."
He paused before continuing,
"I don’t mean anything by saying this. I just want to let you know... if my family does anything peculiar, don’t take it to heart."
