Chapter 217: 217 The fee for changing one’s statement cannot be less

Ji Chu had never eaten Gu Chen’s cooking, only knowing that he had some pretty good stuff in his hands.

She nodded half in belief and half in doubt, "Okay!"

Just give it a try.

After all, the worst-case scenario wasn’t that bad.

After all, her brother-in-law was doing it for her father’s sake.

Maybe there would be some improvement, who knows?

Once their chat was nearly done, they returned to the hospital room, holding Tangtang who had finished an entire cotton candy.

Ji Guangsheng had already cleaned out the box of Matsutake Porridge that Gu Chen brought.

However, he truly couldn’t agree with that kimchi.

Just the smell alone was enough to put him off eating it.

What a weird taste.

Neither sour nor salty, and it looked so ugly, it didn’t resemble kimchi at all.

At that moment, Uncle Guang was tidying up the empty lunch box, about to wash it when he saw Ji Chu and Gu Chen come back.

Seeing the lunch box in his hands, Ji Chu was taken aback, "What’s this?"

Uncle Guang was beaming with happiness, his tone filled with excitement.

"This is the Matsutake Porridge made by Gu Chen. It tastes really good, Mr. Ji ate a whole bowl in one go!"

"A whole bowl?" Ji Chu was astonished.

You have to know, his father usually couldn’t even finish a bowl of food in a day.

And he ate so much today?

It’s miraculous.

No wonder my brother-in-law said to give it a try, it looks like he really has some skill!

Now, he truly admired his brother-in-law to the point of complete respect.

At this time, Wu Shuhui’s usually somber face also showed a significant improvement.

Her eyes and brows were tinged with a rare smile.

First, she had finally brought back her daughter, and their family could be considered reunited.

Second, it was this meal!

It was the most Ji Guangsheng had eaten since he was hospitalized.

Even his spirits were lifted a lot.

He usually fell asleep after just a few words, but today, he had been chatting with his daughter ever since she walked in.

Even his complexion looked better now, at least not as pale as before.

It was truly remarkable.

Seeing Gu Chen coming in, she excitedly motioned for him to sit down, "Thanks to your porridge, this is the most dad has eaten at one time."

Ji Guangsheng, sitting on the bed, also showed a rare smile.

"It was delicious, your cooking skills are not bad."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chu’s pupils shrank, finding it unbelievable.

His father was always very demanding and rarely praised anyone.

My brother-in-law actually received praise from my father?

It seems that the meal must have been extraordinary.

At this moment, surprise shone in Gu Chen’s eyes as he pondered Wu Shuhui’s recent words.

She had said "dad."

She didn’t say "Pian Ran’s dad" but "dad," does that mean she has accepted me?

This acceptance was too easy.

Honestly, the thought had crossed his mind in the car that Ji Guangsheng might ask Pian Ran to leave him.

Yet, without saying much, he was accepted?

This acceptance came too easily.

It seems things were not as bad as he thought; they didn’t seem to be against him.

Initially, Gu Chen thought that someone who could be so harsh on his own daughter must be difficult to deal with.

Unexpectedly, Ji Guangsheng even complimented his cooking.

It appears he wasn’t as unreasonable as assumed.

Gu Chen smiled at Wu Shuhui.

"Auntie, you’re really too kind."

Actually, he deliberately called her "auntie."

After all, this meeting really was too sudden.

He didn’t even know if they would accept him, and to suddenly call someone "mom" did seem a bit abrupt and forced.

Wu Shuhui also smiled, "Why are you still calling me auntie? It’s time to change that."

To tell the truth, she couldn’t say she was completely satisfied with this son-in-law, but he had turned out to be much better than she had expected.

Ji Pianran had just run off like that, and she truly thought her daughter might end up being sold off to the mountains, perhaps to men who were disabled or had some mental issues.

But to her surprise, Pian Ran found Gu Chen.

Although Gu Chen was from the countryside, the boy was handsome.

He did things in a way that made people comfortable.

The most important thing was that he really loved her daughter, genuinely cared for her and the child, and was kind to them.

And he could cook really well.

Even though he didn’t earn much money, they were still living comfortably.

Furthermore, with Bai Guang giving him such high praise, this kid definitely couldn’t be bad.

That Pianran found such a husband put her own heart back in her chest.

What reason was there not to accept him?

She should be thankful to Gu Chen for not allowing her daughter to suffer any grievances.

Gu Chen furrowed his brow slightly, change what he calls her?

Just like that?

Wasn’t it too quick?

Seeing Gu Chen staring blankly, Ji Pianran approached him with a smile, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said softly, "What are you spacing out for?"

This was her mother showing her approval of him!

Gu Chen smiled and loudly called out, "Mom!"

"Ah!" Wu Shuhui happily responded.

After that, she went into the inner room, took a big red envelope out of her wardrobe, came back, and handed it to Gu Chen.

"Even though we couldn’t attend the wedding, you shouldn’t miss out on the gift for calling me ’mom.’

Now that Gu Chen has called me ’mom,’ from now on, we are truly a family, and I must treat him like my own son."

Gu Chen hadn’t expected to receive a red envelope.

And that thickness...

It really was as thin as a cicada’s wing.

Considering Wu Shuhui’s financial status, it would never just be one note.

So, that definitely meant there was a card inside!

The amount in the card, without even thinking, would never be small.

It could be fifty thousand, maybe one hundred thousand, or even a million!

Gu Chen quickly declined, "Mom, it’s only right that I call you ’mom,’ but there’s no need for a gift for that. Just having your acceptance makes me very happy."

That was his honest truth.

He was able-bodied.

He hadn’t yet provided Ji Pianran with a life of financial freedom, and here he was, about to receive a large sum of money from her people. How could that be right?

He may have loved money, but he wasn’t one to take just any money.

Having said that, he took Ji Pianran by the hand and looked into Wu Shuhui’s face.

His tone was slow and sincere.

"To be honest, my conditions aren’t that good right now, but Pian Ran and Tang Tang are the most important people in my life, they are the ones I can give everything for. I will do my best to provide a better life for them, please be assured of that."

When Gu Chen spoke, his eyes were filled with earnest seriousness.

It wasn’t just a promise, it sounded more like a declaration of love.

His voice was pleasant, and the words were spoken slowly, reaching into Ji Pianran’s ears.

Her heart couldn’t help but melt.

These were the true feelings of Gu Chen, weren’t they?

Wu Shuhui looked at Gu Chen with a warm gaze.

She gently patted Gu Chen’s shoulder, careful not to cause any psychological pressure, and laughed softly.

"Now that you’ve called me ’mom,’ of course, there’s a gift for that. It’s not much, just a little something from a mother. I hear you’ve leased quite a bit of land, so take this money as my way of supporting you as a mother."

Wu Shuhui was also truly sincere.

She hoped this money would help them live a little better.
