Chapter 2472 Jian Jie (152)
Gu Yan put down the dish and sat down beside Gu Xi, looking at Gu Beichen and then at Shi Shaoqin... I don't know why the two of them started fighting again just when they returned to the kitchen to serve the dishes.
"Humph!" Gu Beichen snorted coldly, "He is my son, after all, he is my son."
Shi Shaoqin slightly frowned, and was a little annoyed by Gu Beichen's proud and arrogant look.
"I have discovered..." Gu Xi leaned towards Gu Yan and whispered, "No matter how indifferent or domineering a man is, he will be particularly childish when he meets a real opponent."
Gu Yan chuckled and smiled at Shi Mochen on the other side of Gu Xi.
On the newly set table, Gu Beichen and Shi Shaoqin were still childish, and their words were full of sarcasm.
Jian Mo ignored the two awkward men and just chatted with Shi Mochen.
Maybe it was because of the atmosphere, maybe it was because of other things, at the dinner table, everyone did not talk about the past 18 years, but chatted and joked with ease.
Besides, with Gu Xi around, the atmosphere was naturally lively.
During the meal, Kani had the most relaxed time.
After all, he had been waiting for this scene to start for a long time.
And when it started, he was not disappointed with the plot development... It was rare to see the changeable expression of Master Qin.
Of course, the happiest person was Jian Mo.
The accumulation of eighteen years, whether it was sadness or pain... was not as good as seeing his son appear in front of him now, and he was still so outstanding.
In the Crescent Lake Villa, the air was filled with joy that never dissipated.
After dinner, Gu Beichen and Shi Shaoqin went to the study. No one cared whether the two men would continue to fight.
Jian Yao was playing games with Gu Yan and Gu Xi. Kani had already withdrawn from the "battlefield" and planned to take a walk, wash and go to bed.
After Shi Mochen squeezed a glass of juice for Jian Mo, he and her nestled in the lazy sofa on the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window, chatting about these years... and also chatting about his guilt and miss.
In the study, the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"Mo Chen went to XK because of me?!" Gu Beichen broke the tense atmosphere, his voice full of guilt.
"I guess so." Shi Shaoqin did not hide it, because it was the truth, there was no need.
Gu Beichen was silent again, his angular face revealed a hint of complex emotions.
"Mr. Xiao saw that Star grew up next to me," Shi Shaoqin said coldly, "plus because of Silence, XK used the exchange conditions, which was also a reason."
"It's mainly me." Gu Beichen sighed, tilted his head slightly, and looked out the window.
The night was like ink.
Nowadays, the air is polluted, and it is almost impossible to see the stars in the sky. The occasional three or two stars are also based on luck.
Shi Shaoqin did not comfort Gu Beichen. He said a long time ago that many things have causes and consequences.
If Beichen went directly to XK, naturally, the family would not be separated for so long.
First of all, when Star was two years old, Silence needed to be unlocked. If Beichen was in XK, he would definitely know.
Gu Beichen retracted his gaze and looked at Shi Shaoqin, his voice cold, "I won't thank you."
"I don't need it either." Shi Shaoqin sneered.
If it wasn't for the situation that night, Mo'er wouldn't have fallen down the stairs, and naturally Star wouldn't have had an accident.
As for the Silence in Star's body, it was originally left because he had drugged Mo'er.
However, at this moment, there was no thank you... but the two men who had been childish to each other for more than ten years seemed to be completely relieved of each other at this moment.
Between people, no matter how it started, the feelings of mutual appreciation and cherishment in the end, even if awkward, cannot be erased.
On the first day of the new year, people need to say goodbye to what has been irreversible in the past year, and what they need to do is to turn the regrets of the past into surprises in the future.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Jian Mo was making breakfast, and saw Shi Mochen coming into the kitchen and asked with a smile.
"I'm used to getting up early." Shi Mochen smiled and stepped forward to help. "I saw that my brother has been busy in the yard."
"Xiaojie has been very self-disciplined since he was a child," Jian Mo smiled and glanced out the window. "When he is at home, he sometimes cuts some flowers from the yard and puts them on the dining table."
"Did you do it for me?" Shi Mochen retreated from his indifference outside and became a little more naughty, which should belong to his age. "Mom seems to like working on the dining table."
Jian Mo raised her eyebrows and put the toasted bread slices on the plate with a smile.
There are no servants at home now, only the cleaning staff who come to clean every other day.
After Aunt Luo left, she took over the cooking and other things. She felt that cooking for the whole family would be more atmospheric and warmer.
Jian Mo and Shi Mochen finished breakfast. Jian Yao just came downstairs, and Gu Yan also went to call Gu Xi who was sleeping in.
The family had breakfast together on the first day of the first year, and the atmosphere was warm and happy.
"Are you going to open the store later?" Jian Mo asked.
"Yeah." Shi Mochen smiled and nodded, looking at Gu Xi who was stuffing bread in his mouth and pointing at him with a "woohoo" sound, "Yan Yan said she wanted to drink the milk tea I made."
Gu Yan sent a WeChat message to Li Xinyao while everyone was talking, "You guys go over first, I'll go pick up Yi Yi."
Shi Mochen lowered his eyes and smiled when he heard it, and he understood Gu Yan's thoughts.
Unfortunately, these two brothers underestimated Li Xinyao's enthusiasm for handsome guys.
...
Li Xinyao didn't know where Gu Yan was going to take her, but when she received a message from him early in the morning saying that he was coming to see her, she felt happy and the food tasted much better.
"Dad, I'm done eating." Li Xinyao said, and stood up and walked around, saying, "Xiao Jie will come over later, I'll go upstairs to change clothes."
Li Yunze looked at his daughter's excited back and felt a little depressed.
"Dad, I can't keep my sister like this." Li Yanqun said with a heart-wrenching tone.
Li Yunze looked at his son and felt even more depressed.
Although Yi Yi married Xiao Jie, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Whether it was life or getting along with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... there were no problems.
However, when he thought that his daughter might be seduced by Xiao Jie soon, he felt upset.
His little lover was taken away, and the other little lover was not in front of him, which meant... why should he be treated like this on the first day of the new year? !
"Where are we going?" Li Xinyao asked while fastening her seat belt after getting into Gu Yan's car.
"I'll take you to meet a new member of my family." Gu Yan said mysteriously.
Seeing Li Xinyao's curious look, he sighed secretly.
He knew how Yi Yi would look when she saw Mo Chen, but he still wanted to surprise her.
Not only did he want to introduce Mo Chen to his loved ones as a family member, he also liked Yi Yi's happy and satisfied look.
This was very contradictory, but... he could only keep the sadness to himself.
