Chapter 828: Gu Yang Is Old Master Xiao’s Little Tea Friend
Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiao Yize brought Gu Jin and Gu Yang into the living room, with Qin Shuzhen following closely behind.
Gu Yang couldn’t help but admire Qin Shuzhen. As the mistress of a wealthy family, she exuded a poise that made her seem perfectly at ease in any situation.
Seeing them, a warm smile appeared on Tong Wan’s face. She greeted them warmly, pulling each of them close. “Jin, Yangyang, you’re here.”
Gu Yang and Gu Jin both greeted her, “Auntie Tong.”
Tong Wan’s voice was gentle yet firm. “Why are you still calling me Auntie? Call me Mom!”
Gu Yang and Gu Jin: “…”
Gu Jin knew she would eventually have to call Tong Wan ‘Mom,’ but it felt too soon and awkward at the moment.
Although Auntie Tong Wan did seem to be a fan of hers…
“Alright, Wanwan, don’t scare the children.”
Xiao Yize’s father, Xiao Dingkun, was older than Gu Zhaoming. He wore casual clothes, looking more elegant and easygoing than his image on television. However, the aura of the head of an aristocratic family and a political figure was unmistakable.
Xiao Dingkun smiled kindly. “These are Jin and Yangyang, right? Don’t be nervous. Just treat this as your home.”
Gu Yang and Gu Jin greeted him politely, “Uncle Xiao.”
Xiao Yize then pulled Gu Jin over to meet Old Master Xiao and Old Madam Xiao.
Old Master Xiao was reading the newspaper with his head lowered. Although much news could now be accessed on his phone, he still preferred traditional paper media.
Old Madam Xiao’s hair was silver, as white as snow, neatly combed, and her posture was still straight. She was old but remained elegant.
Seeing her, Gu Yang couldn’t help but think of a saying: Time has always been an undefeated beauty.
It had to be said that the Xiao family’s genes were remarkable. They were all so good-looking, as expected from the direct family of the male lead in the novel.
Old Madam Xiao was carrying a calico cat in her arms, a smile on her wrinkled face.
Xiao Yize introduced, “Grandpa, Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Gu Jin. This is our sister, Gu Yang.”
Gu Yang and Gu Jin: “Hello, Grandpa and Grandma.”
Old Madam Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, alright. These two children are really handsome.”
Old Master Xiao found the voice familiar. He put down the People’s Daily that he had been reading and looked up in surprise.
He walked over to Gu Yang, his tone a little agitated. “Aiya, isn’t this the young lady who is very good at tea?”
Gu Yang’s lips twitched, but when she saw Old Master Xiao, she did find him familiar. “Clear Tea Garden?”
Old Master Xiao nodded. “That’s right. I remember your brother was there last time. I didn’t expect you to have an elder sister.”
Gu Jin narrowed her eyes. “Brother? Who?”
“It’s Jiang Mo.”
At that time, Gu Yang wasn’t familiar with Old Master Xiao, so she didn’t explain her relationship with Jiang Mo to him. But now, considering their future familial ties, she felt it necessary to clarify. “Grandpa Xiao, the person last time was my patient and also my friend, not my biological brother. I don’t have an older brother, only an older sister and a younger brother.”
Gu Jin, automatically ignoring her younger brother Gu Pei, felt satisfied.
As for Feng Jue, Gu Yang had never treated him as a younger brother, and he had never intended to be Gu Yang’s younger brother.
Old Master Xiao nodded, thinking, No wonder.
At that time, he and Old Qin had noticed that Jiang Mo and their little tea friend didn’t look like biological siblings. Their vastly different College Entrance Examination results made the discrepancy even more apparent.
The Xiao family hadn’t expected Gu Yang and Old Master Xiao to know each other.
Old Master Xiao couldn’t help but sigh. “This is fate. So this little tea friend is your girlfriend’s sister. Then we’re all family.”
He couldn’t help but sigh again, thinking how wonderful it would have been if this little tea friend, who had an interest in scientific research, had been part of the Xiao family.
