278: I think you and Lu Jing are the perfect match.

At a time like this, there weren't many places they could go to have fun.

“Grandma, Grandparents, please have a taste. These braised dishes are very delicious.” Xiao Niannian opened the lunchboxes and offered them to the elders.

“Mhm, they are indeed good.”

“Delicious.”

Chief Gu also tried a few items, and the taste was genuinely good.

They toured several places within two or three hours. They didn't go to any distant locations.

After arriving at the state-run store, they ate in a private room.

“Sister-in-law Xiao, this roast duck tastes quite good. Please try the other specialty dishes too.”

“Alright.”

Grandma Xiao and Grandma Gu started talking again about making clothes for their Granddaughter.

Chief Gu glanced at his slightly faded military uniform and coughed.

Xiao Niannian was listening to the grandmothers talk. Hearing her dad cough, she immediately looked over.

“Dad, is your throat uncomfortable?”

“Mhm, a little.”

Chief Gu smiled and nodded, seeing his daughter's concerned look.

“I'll go to the pharmacy later and buy some herbs for you to steep and drink...”

“Ah, okay.”

Chief Gu was incredibly touched by his daughter's words.

His throat didn't hurt, but since she said that, he certainly had to drink the herbs his daughter bought. This was a token of his daughter's affection.

“Niannian, I heard you previously bought imported suit fabric?”

Hearing her dad say this and seeing him look at Lu Jing's clothes, what else was there for Xiao Niannian not to understand?

“Dad, it's cold now. I'll pick out two sets of fabric for you and Grandparents. I know how to make clothes, and I'll make them for you...”

Xiao Niannian had indeed learned how to make clothes in her original world, and she had helped her Grandma make clothes before.

“How can I let you make the clothes yourself? Dad can make them too...” Chief Gu couldn't stop smiling when he heard this. His daughter was going to buy him fabric and make clothes, and she even said she'd make them personally.

He glanced proudly at Lu Jing. What that kid Lu Jing was wearing were clothes made by Aunt Xiao, bought by Niannian, that was true, but that was just thanks to Lu Jing. This was filial piety towards them.

Thinking this way, Chief Gu felt even happier, and he found Lu Jing slightly more pleasing to the eye.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, there was a knock on the door.

“Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother.”

Ma Jin appeared at the doorway, smiling as he greeted Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Chief Gu.

Xiao Niannian had just heard people talking outside. It wasn't just Ma Jin; Gu Ying and Ma Xue were also in the outer hall, discussing coming in to find Grandparents and the others.

But Ma Jin said he should go in first, apologize, and that people don't slap a smiling face.

“This must be Niannian. I am your Paternal Uncle.”

Ma Jin looked at Xiao Niannian, chuckling.

“Your Uncle was overjoyed when he heard last night that your dad had found you, and I never expected to run into you here today... Dad, Mom, Eldest Brother, let me pay for this meal...”

Xiao Niannian looked at Ma Jin, then turned her gaze to Chief Gu.

Chief Gu frowned and said.

“No need. We already paid. Go eat your own meal, and don't disturb us.”

Hearing his Eldest Brother-in-law tell him to leave, Ma Jin's expression changed, and he looked at Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu.

“Ma Jin, you should leave.”

Hearing Grandma Gu's words, Ma Jin quickly agreed.

“Mom, then I'll head out first.”

Ma Jin didn't dare to say anything more. He was afraid that saying too much would upset his Father-in-law and Mother-in-law and his Eldest Brother-in-law even more.

After Ma Jin left, he walked straight toward his original seat.

“How did it go?”

“Eldest Brother told me to come out and eat and not disturb them.”

Ma Jin's expression became very ugly at this moment, and his tone was somewhat incredulous.

He looked at Gu Ying and said.

“Even if she is his biological daughter, he shouldn't treat us like this, right? Did you hide something from me yesterday?”

Hearing Ma Jin's accusatory words, Gu Ying snapped back.

“What did I hide from you? That little bitch caused Xue'er's hand to be injured and bleed...”

Gu Ying started cursing again.

“Lower your voice. Don't let Eldest Brother hear us.”

Ma Jin quickly warned Gu Ying.

“What are you afraid of? They're in a private room, more than ten meters away from us. With so many people around, how could they possibly hear?”

Xiao Niannian smiled as she listened to Ma Jin and Gu Ying's conversation.

What a coincidence, she could hear them talking. She was very confused as to why Gu Ying hated her so much; it didn't make sense.

Could it be related to Zhang Fu again?

Does this Zhang Fu have feelings for her dad?

Also, what is the relationship between her two older brothers, Gu Yuan and Gu Yuan, and Zhang Fu?

However, she could tell that there was nothing between her dad and Zhang Fu, and her dad's attitude towards Zhang Fu was very cold. But Zhang Fu's eyes kept staring at her dad, and Zhang Xiaorou, calling him Uncle, had such worship in her eyes... After the meal, they walked out.

Not far away, Zhang Fu and Zhang Xiaorou were standing, watching Chief Gu and Xiao Niannian talking.

“Mom, look, Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing are very familiar with each other.”

Zhang Xiaorou hadn't expected to see Lu Jing at the Gu Family house yesterday, and Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian were talking, looking very familiar.

“Mom, could Xiao Niannian like Lu Jing?”

Zhang Fu frowned.

“Probably not. Lu Jing, you shouldn't think about him. The Lu Family won't take a liking to you.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaorou looked at her mother indignantly.

“What are you saying? Why wouldn't the Lu Family take a liking to me?”

“Mom, where did this Xiao Niannian pop out from? You were clearly about to become... now that she's popped up...”

Zhang Xiaorou stomped her foot in anger.

Since she could remember, she had heard countless people say that her Maternal Aunt had died, her Uncle was a high-ranking official in the Military Unit, and her two older cousins were still studying.

Her mother wanted to help take care of the two older cousins, but Old Chief Gu and Grandma Gu absolutely did not agree. They also didn't let her and her mother come to the Gu Family Old Residence... Her mother was so good to her Uncle, and so good to her older cousins... “Xiaorou, Aunt Fu.”

Hearing Ma Xue's voice, Zhang Fu smiled.

“Xiaoxue, is there anything else you want to eat?”

Ma Xue shook her head.

“My dad just went in and was also chased out. Are my Maternal Grandparents and Eldest Maternal Uncle planning to disown me and my mom for that person surnamed Xiao?”

Hearing this, Zhang Fu immediately offered comfort.

“That's impossible. Your Maternal Grandparents only have you as their Maternal Granddaughter... We will definitely find out what her background is...”

“I think she's just an impostor.” Zhang Xiaorou stomped her foot angrily.

“I saw Brother Lu at the house yesterday. What's going on?”

Ma Xue asked Zhang Xiaorou.

Zhang Xiaorou shook her head.

“I don't know. But I heard they are both serving in the military in Yangcheng.”

When Ma Xue heard this, she furrowed her brow.

Seeing Ma Xue frown, Zhang Xiaorou deliberately said.

“Xue'er, I think you and Brother Lu are the most suitable match.”
