Gu Lanshan turned her head only to see Gu Jingyu whom she had not seen for many years. She did not know how long he had been standing at the entrance.
Mu Wanqing immediately stood up.
Then, Lin Che followed.
Gu Xiande froze before fidgeting slightly.
Everyone saw Gu Jingyu looking in but could not see his expression clearly. After a moment of silence, he took a step forward and continued walking in step by step.
“It’s Gu Jingyu.”
“I can’t believe it’s actually Gu Jingyu.”
“Why is he here today? Did he come here to bury the hatchet?”
Everyone watched Gu Jingyu walk all the way to the main table. Gu Xiande looked at him through narrowed eyes. Gu Jingyu paused and glanced at the people around the table. Then, he slowly shifted his gaze to Gu Xiande.
“Grandfather, happy birthday.”
Gu Xiande’s eyes moved slightly. The agitation in his eyes appeared on his aged face.
He stood up, skirted around the table, and came directly before Gu Jingyu.
He immediately pulled Gu Jingyu’s hand to him and patted the back of it for a long time. Then, he said, “Jingyu, it’s good that you’re back. I’m very happy. My birthday today is a very happy one.”
Everyone was even more surprised. But when they thought about it, no matter how bad their relationship was, he was ultimately his biological grandson. No matter what, he would still have a soft spot for him.
However, Gu Xiande had always been a stubborn person who never changed his mind and left no room for argument. Everyone had thought that he would not easily give in this time either.
Perhaps it was because ultimately, he had aged. Because he was older now, he had a different way of thinking than he did in the past.
Gu Jingyu said, “Grandfather, this is my present for you.”
Gu Xiande quickly took it from him and opened it. It was a small cigarette holder that looked small and exquisite but was very beautiful.
Gu Jingyu said, “I remember breaking one when I was younger. Grandfather didn’t say anything about it either. I guess you can think of this as me returning it to you.”
“Yes. You were the most mischievous one when you were young. I can’t even begin to count the number of things you broke.”
“Yes, yes. In the future, I’ll slowly return everything to you.”
“Good, good. Return everything to me slowly. I’ll wait for you to do it. Come, quick. Come in and sit down.”
However, after looking around, Gu Jingyu headed directly for the seat beside Lin Che’s.
Everyone looked on in surprise as Gu Jingyu smiled at Lin Che.
Lin Che was still stunned. She did not expect Gu Jingyu to actually come.
Gu Jingyu smiled at Lin Che after sitting down. “Why? Have you gone silly?”
“Why are you here?”
“Weren’t you the one who told me to come here?”
“I… I did say that.”
