She was not ready, and she could see that Tang Liye, her father, was not ready to welcome her as his daughter.
"Xiao Min, Jingchuan, let's go home." Molly felt that the atmosphere at this time was a bit subtle, and looked at Tang Ze, "Aze, hurry up and drive over."
"good."
Just as Tang Ze was about to leave, Lin Min said, "No, Jingchuan and I have something to do. Let's go back first. Jingxiu is home alone."
Just now, they broke up with Tang Jingshu and must be in a bad mood. It was really inappropriate for her and Gu Jingchuan to follow him.
In addition, Lin Min thought, she was not ready to go to the Tang family at this time.
Tang Ze didn't expect that Lin Min would refuse. He smiled and came out to smooth things over, "No, sister, you and Jingchuan come with us to celebrate the New Year at home. I'll pick up Jingxiu."
"No, let's go back first. Jingxiu is not familiar with this place, so let's get her familiar with the environment first."
Gu Jingchuan sensed the subtle atmosphere between Lin Min and his father-in-law, and he said to Tang Ze, "Tang Ze, Xiao Min and I will go back first."
After saying that, Gu Jingchuan took Lin Min's hand and nodded slightly at them, "Let's go first."
Molly wanted to keep her, but she had no chance.
Tang Ze said he would drive them back because it was Chinese New Year and there were no cars on the street.
Lin Min declined politely, saying that he wanted to buy something, and they walked over.
In the end, Tang Ze could only watch them go away.
Tang Liye's eyes were fixed on the direction where Lin Min and Gu Jingchuan were leaving, with a gloomy expression.
Tang Ze couldn't help complaining, "Dad, your attitude towards Xiao Min was too cold just now. Otherwise, she would definitely come home with us."
Lin Min is a very sensitive person.
She was like this from the beginning towards him and his mother, keeping a distance and appearing very indifferent on the surface.
But once they extend their warm hands to her and convey to her their affection for her, she will soon drop her guard and open her heart.
Just now, his father should have been more enthusiastic towards her.
As her partner for decades, Molly knew Tang Liye's temper very well, "Aze, give your dad some time and go home first."
Tang Ze opened the car door and drove them home.
…
Lin Min and Gu Jingchuan walked all the way from the street. Gu Jingchuan held her hand and could feel Lin Min's mood was a little low.
He knew that it was probably because her father-in-law had a somewhat cold attitude towards her, and Lin Min was not very happy in her heart. He wanted to make her happy, but he was stupid and didn't know what to say to comfort her.
The two walked for a while, when Gu Jingchuan looked up and saw an aunt selling various colorful balloons at a crossroads not far away.
Gu Jingchuan had an idea and pulled her forward, "Xiao Min, let's go, there is a balloon buyer over there. Let's buy some balloons and go back."
Lin Min looked at him in confusion, "Why do you need balloons?"
"Let's decorate our home."
Gu Jingchuan pulled her over and spent five yuan to sell all the colorful balloons that his aunt had.
At noon, the streets started to get lively.
There was an endless stream of bicycles, pedestrians, people visiting relatives and friends, or people going to work.
Lin Min was walking on the street holding a large bunch of balloons in her hand and received many looks.
Gu Jingchuan also tried his best to comfort her, but Lin Min quickly came out of her low mood.
Why should she make herself feel bad because of something like this?
It’s better to celebrate the New Year happily than to be happy.
When she was in a bad mood, Gu Jingchuan also became cautious.
It's quite a distance from here to their address.
There is nothing wrong with Gu Jingchuan's legs now. Although he cannot exercise strenuously, he can walk like this for a whole day without feeling tired.
Gu Jingchuan had a bunch of balloons hanging on his shoulders, and one of them was accidentally popped by a branch on the road.
The two of them walked slowly for nearly an hour before reaching the alley.
Uncle Zhang led his grandson out of the shop at the entrance of the alley. The child was holding a lollipop. Her eyes lit up when she saw the balloon in Gu Jingchuan's hand.
Gu Jingchuan greeted Uncle Zhang, and Lin Min smiled and unwound two balloons and gave them to Uncle Zhang's grandson.
The child's name is Dongdong. He usually lives in the building assigned to his father's work unit and rarely comes to the alley. After getting a balloon from Lin Min, he shouted "Thank you, sister."
Lin Min held Dongdong's hand familiarly, while Uncle Zhang and Gu Jingchuan chatted, and the two neighbors walked through the alley together.
When they arrived at the door of the house, they saw that the large iron door that had been closed when they came out was ajar.
Gu Jingchuan and Lin Min said goodbye to Uncle Zhang and entered the courtyard.
The two of them walked onto the steps of the living room and heard a voice coming from inside the room, "What's your name?"
"Gu Jingxiu."
They looked at each other. Is there a guest at home?
This voice sounds familiar.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jin Zhengtai, who was wearing a sexy red leather jacket, sitting on the sofa in a formal manner, with his hands on his legs, looking very reserved.
Gu Jingxiu stood far away, looking even more embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the hall was filled with a strange embarrassment.
Hearing the movement at the door, Gu Jingxiu turned her head and saw Gu Jingchuan and Lin Min coming back. She felt as if she had been granted amnesty and breathed a sigh of relief. She said there was someone at home and she was going to cook.
, he lowered his head and ran out with a red face.
When Jin Zhengtai saw Gu Jingchuan and the others coming back, he hurriedly got up from the sofa and said, "Boss, sister-in-law, are you back?"
"Why are you here?" Gu Jingchuan asked.
"I'm here to wish you a happy New Year. As soon as you said you were going back to Bincheng yesterday, I couldn't wait to come over in the morning. Who knew you weren't here?"
Jin Zhengtai thought of the awkward atmosphere just now and couldn't help but want to pick his toes.
Lin Min was keenly aware of the discomfort on Jin Zhengtai's face. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Hey, Xiao Jin, you didn't bully my Jingxiu just now, did you?"
Jin Zhengtai scratched his head in embarrassment and defended himself, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm here to pay New Year greetings, how can I dare to bully others?"
Besides, that girl stood eight feet away from him from the moment he entered the door.
When speaking, he would ask something and she would say something.
He didn't ask, and she just stood still and didn't speak.
It's so embarrassing.
However, she is really pretty in appearance, and she is worthy of being the boss's sister.
"Okay, you guys sit down, I'll help Jingxiu cook."
At this point, they haven't eaten yet. The restaurants outside are not open. After what they experienced in the morning, they didn't feel hungry at all. Now that they got home, they felt hungry.
The bag is empty.
When Lin Min went to the kitchen, Gu Jingxiu had already stewed the rice and was about to stir-fry.
She had prepared everything since noon, all she had to do was turn on the fire and stir-fry.
I originally planned to cook the dishes first and wait for the second brother and sister-in-law to come back to eat together. However, as soon as the dishes were cut, a guest came to the house.
She was afraid that some important guests were coming and she couldn't leave them alone, so she could only accompany them.
But that guy is really too tall, just like the stars on TV...
