Chapter 101: Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Xiao was like an unexpected accident that had pulled Chu An out of that wandering world, allowing Chu An to truly stand firmly in this world.
Ever since Chu An and Gu Xiao had been together, Chu An’s att.i.tude towards his family had also changed drastically. They could clearly sense that Chu An had become closer to them.
This was a very good sign for the Chu family.
Therefore, they wanted to see the child who had caused all this to happen to Chu An.
Gu Xiao didn’t know that the Chu family had a pretty good impression of her because of Chu An. After hearing Chu An’s words, she couldn’t help but feel a trace of nervousness.
“Are we going to see your parents now?” Gu Xiao hesitated.
Chu An blinked, clearly sensing Gu Xiao’s nervousness. He smiled inwardly and held Gu Xiao’s hand.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a meeting. If you don’t get along with my parents, 1’11 take you away.”
Gu Xiao was nervous about meeting his parents, which proved that he occupied a significant place in her heart. However, it was precisely because of this that he would not make her feel uncomfortable.
Under Chu An’s continuous persuasion and expectant gaze, Gu Xiao still nodded in agreement.
She had experienced many things in ancient times. No matter what, she shouldn’t make too many mistakes when facing the Chu family. At the very least, she wouldn’t make them hate her.
With this thought in mind, Gu Xiao relaxed and allowed Chu An to pull her towards a specific direction.
Not long after, the two of them arrived not far from a couple.
The couple looked to be in their thirties. Their bearings were calm and n.o.ble, and their expressions were calm. When someone went forward to strike up a conversation, they would respond with an appropriate smile.
The couple saw Chu An’s figure and said something to the person they were talking to before letting him leave.
When Chu An saw this, he continued walking forward with Gu Xiao.
“Dad, Mom, this is Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao, this is my dad and this is my mom. My mom is very gentle. You’ll definitely like her.”
Mr Chu, who had been brushed off by Chu An, coughed lightly in dissatisfaction. However, neither Mrs Chu, Chu Wanshan, nor Chu An paid attention to Chu Baiyuan’s movements
Gu Xiao wanted to greet Chu Baiyuan, but Chu Wanshan took hold of her hand affectionately.
Chu Wanshan’s gaze was gentle as she sized Gu Xiao up without any hint of disgust. Then, she said to Gu Xiao, “You’re Xiaoxiao! I’ve always heard your name from my brat. I’ve finally met you today.”
Gu Xiao’s nervousness dissipated at Chu Wanshan’s gentle words.
She pursed her lips and smiled at Chu Wanshan. “h.e.l.lo, Auntie. I’m Gu Xiao.”
“Poor child, I’ve heard about what happened to you. It must have been hard on you in the Ji Family. Your parents are muddle-headed. Only your brother, Ji Chen, is better. At such a young age, he has already made his company prosper.”
As Chu Wanshan spoke, she patted Gu Xiao’s hand comfortingly. Her eyes were filled with love for Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao could sense her emotions and knew that she was different from those people who acted differently on the surface. Thinking of Ji Chen’s att.i.tude towards her, Gu Xiao could not help but smile.
“Auntie, don’t worry. I’m doing pretty well in the Ji family.”
After all, Ji Gao usually wouldn’t cause trouble for her, and Jiang He had become much more obedient after the company went bankrupt. Under such circ.u.mstances, even if Ji Yao wanted to do something, she wouldn’t dare to be willful.
Chu Wanshan looked at Gu Xiao’s neither servile nor overbearing manner and felt even more satisfied. She pulled Gu Xiao along and started talking about other things.
Chu Baiyuan, who had been ignored, walked to Chu An’s side and patted his shoulder.
Chu An was already a little resentful that Chu Wanshan had stolen Gu Xiao’s attention. Now that Chu Baiyuan came to disturb him, he immediately looked at Chu Baiyuan with dissatisfaction.
When Chu Baiyuan saw this, he fiercely slapped Chu An’s back.
“Why are you looking at your father like that? I haven’t even rebuked you for bringing someone over to steal my wife’s attention, and you’re actually faulting me?” Chu Baiyuan grumbled unhappily.
