Chapter 856: Chapter 856: Wanna Hang Out? (Part 4)
Gu Anjin felt a bit relieved when he agreed.
However, thinking about it, even if Yue Siqing knew she ran back home, he probably wouldn’t actually send someone to take her away.
He promised Grandpa he would take good care of her, and it was only natural for her to come back for Grandma’s birthday banquet, so why would he forcefully take her away?
The most important thing is…
A touch of melancholy appeared on Gu Anjin’s doll-like delicate face.
When he discovered that she ran away, he might just determine that she went home and that’s it.
As long as she was safe, he would have lived up to her grandfather’s trust.
Insisting on staying in the United Kingdom was her idea, and he might actually wish she’d go back to the Gu Family and never bother him again.
“Jinjin, let’s watch cartoons together!” Little Youyou came out of her brother’s room and saw her brother starting on Uncle Paul’s assignments again, feeling bored and anxious.
Seeing her little face, Gu Anjin immediately shook off the gloom inside her heart.
“Let’s go, I like watching cartoons too. Some people call me childish, but that’s just a childlike innocence!”
The servants in the living room were still hurrying to arrange the living room for the evening banquet.
Gu Anjin, along with Little Youyou, curled up on the sofa in the small hall on the first floor, munching on snacks while watching SpongeBob.
Time passed quickly, and people started to arrive one after another.
Those who came were all relatives of the Gu Family, with varying degrees of familiarity; some were close relatives, some were distant, and there were even a few Gu Anjin didn’t recognize.
The ones she recognized, she’d introduce to Little Youyou, and for those she didn’t, she’d just let them seem familiar.
“My grandpa, your great-grandpa, had three younger brothers and one younger sister, so there are quite a few in the family. It’s okay if you can’t distinguish them, just tell them you are my brother’s daughter, and they’ll naturally know to introduce themselves.”
“When you don’t want to deal with someone, just wave them off, and they won’t cling to you.”
Though Gu Anjin didn’t often interact with these people, she remembered the ‘enthusiasm’ of some of them.
As soon as they found out she was Grandpa’s granddaughter, they stuck to her like glue.
Once in her childhood, she lost her temper, and later Grandpa got mad and gave her the privilege of not obligingly catering to them for politeness’ sake; if she didn’t want to entertain them, she didn’t have to.
Gu Anjin sighed softly inside, really missing Grandpa, wishing he were still alive.
When Grandma came down as well, the house became even more lively.
Whether sincerely or not, waves of well-wishers came to celebrate.
Both Little Youyou and Little Momo went to the old Grandma’s side, making it clear to others who they were.
A few other children came this time too, and Little Youyou quickly darted away from Grandma’s side to find a playmate.
With her heart fluttering, Gu Anjin felt the room was a bit stuffy and wanted to go to the door to call her brother.
She bowed her head, searching for Gu Annan’s number, while heading out the door.
“Ah!”
“I’m sorry!”
Not paying attention when going out, she accidentally bumped into someone.
The woman hurriedly stepped back two steps, but since she was just at the staircase of the main entrance, she almost fell.
“Kexin, be careful.” The man behind quickly supported her, afraid something might happen.
Lu Kexin immediately touched her slightly rounded belly with a very anxious look.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t see you just now.” Gu Anjin realized she had accidentally bumped into a pregnant woman and was grateful nothing serious happened.
