Mr Chu then looked in Gu Xiao’s direction and waved at her. He said in his most amiable voice, “Xiaoxiao, come over quickly.”
Gu Xiao nodded at Mr Chu and walked towards him arm in arm with Mrs Chu.
Not long after Gu Xiao and Mrs Chu sat down at the dining table, the servants brought the food that had been prepared long ago.
There were small meat buns, crystal dumplings, soy milk, and fried dough sticks on the dining table.
Mrs Chu looked at Gu Xiao with a smile and pushed the plate containing the meat buns towards Gu Xiao.
“Last time at the manor, 1 saw that you seemed to like Chinese food more, so I prepared these for you. I hope you like them, Xiaoxiao.”
When Gu Xiao heard this, she looked at the table full of breakfast in surprise. She felt a warm current slowly flow through her heart.
She smiled at Mrs Chu. “I like it very much. Thank you, Auntie.”
Mrs Chu agreed with a smile, but Mr Chu, who was sitting at the side, coughed lightly at this moment. Mrs Chu gave Gu Xiao a look, and Gu Xiao understood what Mr Chu meant.
She glanced sideways and said to Mr Chu seriously, “Thank you, Uncle.”
When Mr Chu heard this, he nodded lightly, as if he was not concerned about Gu Xiao’s gratitude.
Gu Xiao didn’t know Mr Chu well and could still be intimidated by Mr Chu’s act. However, Mrs Chu, who had been with Mr Chu for almost 30 years, could easily tell that Mr Chu was hiding his smugness.
She had been married to Mr Chu for so many years, so she would not expose him in front of Gu Xiao.
Mr Chu cleared his throat. “Alright, let’s eat quickly.”
When Gu Xiao heard this, she looked at Mr Chu and Mrs Chu, then at the empty stairs. She subconsciously asked, “Don’t we need to wait a little longer? Brother Zi and the others haven’t come down yet.”
Upon hearing Gu Xiao’s words, Mr Chu secretly pursed his lips.
Chu Zi only dared to do whatever he wanted because it was the holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival, still not getting up at this time. To see him today, it would probably be when it was time for lunch.
As for Chu An… who asked him to wash up too slowly? Could it be that he wanted the father to wait for the son?
Mr Chu nagged in his heart, but he did not show it at all.
“Don’t worry about them. Let’s just eat.”
After hearing Mr Chu’s words, Gu Xiao looked at Mrs Chu from the corner of her eye. After seeing Mrs Chu nod in agreement, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
This Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in the Chu family villa could be said to be the most comfortable holiday Gu Xiao had had in the past few years.
After all, after her rebirth, all her thoughts were on how to escape from the Ji family, how to make herself better, and how to make the company prosper. She had never rested so happily.
The atmosphere in the Chu family villa was so good and she had never felt it from Ji Chen.
Moreover, a few days after National Day, Mrs Chu did as she had said previously and brought Gu Xiao to see a series of photos of Chu An when he was young, including photos of him wearing a little dress and a prince’s suit.
That not too thick photo album brought Gu Xiao too much joy and happiness.
When Mrs Chu suggested giving her the photo album, Gu Xiao was shamelessly tempted for a moment.
However, she quickly considered that if this photo collection was in her hands, it was hard to guarantee that Chu An wouldn’t discover it later and destroy the evidence.
After thinking for a long time, Gu Xiao asked Mrs Chu to keep this photo album for the time being. When she had time, she would come over to take a look.
When Mrs Chu heard this suggestion, she immediately agreed.
In that case, wouldn’t Gu Xiao have more time to come to the Chu family villa in the future? Mrs Chu was naturally happy to see such a win-win situation.
She hurriedly promised that she would definitely guard this photo collection well and not let Chu An attack it!
Eight days of vacation might seem like a long time, but when it was really counted, it was not much.
Mrs Chu only felt that in the blink of an eye, it was already time for Gu Xiao and Chu An to leave.
Since Gu Xiao and Chu An had classes at 8am in the morning tomorrow, Gu Xiao and Chu An needed to return to school the day before class started.
Mrs Chu looked at Gu Xiao, who was standing opposite her, with reluctance. Her well-maintained hands held Gu Xiao’s hands tightly, unwilling to let go. “Xiaoxiao, are you really leaving now? Can’t you stay for a while longer?” Mrs Chu asked, unwilling to give up..
