At the same time, he received a call from his younger sister.
“Ranzhi, where are you?”
“At home.”
Huh?
He came back to his senses:
“Family quarter? I’ll come over to look for you right away.”
Gu Ranzhi naturally would not refuse. Then, he opened the takeout app on his phone and began to order.
Jiang Tingxu had said that she would arrive soon, but it was already half an hour. She was even later than the takeout.
After entering the door, she saw the takeout on the dining table. Naturally, she also heard the movement in the bathroom. She placed the food box in her hand on the dining table, took out the dishes from the kitchen cabinet, washed them, and then took them out. She emptied the food boxes one by one.
“Ranzhi, how much longer will you take to shower? Hurry up, the food is cold!” She shouted at the top of her voice.
About ten seconds later, the sound of the shower in the bathroom stopped.
When Gu Ranzhi came out, he was wearing the clothes that he had left at home a few years ago. He was wearing casual sportswear, and he looked much livelier than usual.
Jiang Tingxu looked up and immediately said with a smile:
“Not bad, not bad. With this outfit, you can look at least three years younger!”
Listening to his sister’s teasing, the corners of Gu Ranzhi’s mouth curled up again:
“Do you think your brother is old?”
“No, don’t be overly sensitive okay? I’m starving to death. Let’s eat.”
How could Gu Ranzhi not notice the dark circles on his sister’s face:
“Did you stay up late again last night?”
That was true. His sister had also participated in the hand-saving surgery.
“Not really. After that, I rested for about two hours. Fortunately, I wasn’t very busy during the day.” Otherwise, it would really be difficult for her to hold on.
“Let’s eat.”
Gu Ranzhi’s heart ached terribly.
However, he had already tried to persuade his sister many times. Not only had he failed to persuade his sister, but he had also failed to persuade his biological mother after so many years.
In fact, the brother and sister had not had a meal together for a long time. Suddenly, they felt like they had returned to their childhood.
At that time, both of them were young. Father Jiang was often not at home. When Auntie Wen went out to work, only the two of them were left at home.
Even though the two of them did not like each other at that time and could even fight during dinner.
But in fact, both of them cared about each other very much. After all, they depended on each other, right?
However, the atmosphere did not last long. Jiang Tingxu received a call from Gu Yichen.
“Where’s Sister Jiang? There’s no one in the office!”
“Why are you looking for me?”
Heh, the way Silly Gu addressed her was indeed inconsistent. Sometimes it was Little Jiang, sometimes it was Sister Jiang.
“No, it’s my mom who is asking.”
When she heard that it was the second madam of the Gu family, Jiang Tingxu’s tone immediately became much better:
“Why is Auntie looking for me?”
“We’re having lunch now. My mom said she’d treat you to a meal!”
She thought it was about Mr. Gu:
“No need, no need. I’m already eating. You guys go ahead.”
Gu Yichen was not someone who would give up halfway:
“No, where are you? I’m at the cafeteria right now. Why don’t I see you?”
Ahem.
Jiang Tingxu stole a glance at Gu Ranzhi, who was sitting across from her. Seeing that Gu Ranzhi did not show much reaction, she answered the phone again:
“My brother and I are eating at home, so you guys can eat!”
On the phone, how could Gu Yichen not understand the meaning of what she just said?
“You’re having dinner with my cousin?”
Heh.
“You have a problem with that?”
Gu Yichen gave up:
“I wouldn’t dare, but when did my cousin come back?”
Why did he not receive any news?
Was he not still in Country M previously?
