Chapter 787: Second Cousin, You Look So Handsome Today (5)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ji Mingyue arrived soon after breakfast was over. After entering the Gu house, the first person she saw in the living room was Gu Jinhang.

Gu Jinhang was looking very suave and especially young that day. When he saw Ji Mingyue, he immediately smiled warmly and said, “You’re here? All the ingredients are ready. Take a look and see if you need anything else. I’ve asked someone to prepare everything for you.”

A gentle, suave, handsome man was talking to her so warmly. Ji Mingyue had encountered many contemptuous looks in recent times. It was very rare for someone as important as Gu Jinhang to be so polite to her.

She had not expected Gu Jinhang to be the first person she encountered upon entering. She immediately blushed. She was rather intimidated by Gu Jinhang’s warm gaze.

“Second… Second Brother Gu, how are you? I’m here to have fun with Yao Yao, I don’t need much.”

Gu Jinhang continued to smile warmly. “No problem. Yesterday, Yao Yao mentioned that you are cooking together, so I prepared a little more. You might as well stay and have lunch with everyone today. There are so many people in the Gu family, and we get along pretty well. We have lively gatherings every Sunday. Everyone is usually so busy that we don’t have time.”

It was true that the Gu family was unusually harmonious. Most importantly, although it was a large family, there were not that many people living in Second Uncle’s home.

When she was chatting with Gu Qingyao and Gu Fangting previously, they had mentioned buying a house and moving out.

Eldest Uncle Gu had always lived somewhere else, and his family had their own jobs. They lived in their own house. Although the family included the eldest son and grandson, the old folks had always lived with their second son. The eldest son and his family lived somewhere else.

Gu Fangting wanted to move out with her mother, and in the future, she would get married. Gu Qingyao was waiting for her parents to return to China, then she would move out too. Soon, she would marry Mo Beihan and move to the Mo house.

In that case, only the old folks would be living with Second Uncle’s family.

Gu Jinfeng was still overseas. Even if he came back, it would just be Gu Jinfeng and Gu Jinhang, who were brothers.

Ji Mingyue could tell that even though the Gu family lived in harmony and often did not distinguish between each other but treated everyone as members of the same family, they were all very self-aware.

In this area, the Ji family could not compare to them.

Actually, the Ji family also got along very well. But over the past few years, the Ji family had done very well, and the eldest son had grown increasingly important, which had created a divide. Also, the brothers were married, and the addition of sisters-in-law to the family had caused some friction too.

Until now, all the Ji family members who worked in the capital lived together. Her second and third uncles, her older brother, sister-in-law and nephews all lived together.

In reality, the house belonged to the eldest son. But her father and older brother were the eldest son and grandson, respectively. Her uncles showed no sign of moving out. The eldest son had done well because of the Mo family’s help, and his house was the Ji family’s residence in the capital. If they moved out, it meant a reduction in status.

For the past two years, they had continually suggested bringing her grandparents to the capital. They hinted that filial sons and grandsons should be pleased to have their parents staying with them. But their ulterior motive was to turn the eldest son’s house into the Ji family residence so that these sons and grandsons could continue staying in their parents’ or grandparents’ house more legitimately.

Her grandparents discerned their intention, so they remained in the provincial capital and refused to move to the capital.

Ji Mingyue immediately looked envious. “That’s right! It’s rare to have a break. Everyone is usually busy with work. It’s nice to gather on the weekends to chat and have a meal!”

Gu Jinhang was such an intelligent man, of course he noticed the trace of envy in Ji Mingyue’s eyes.
