Chapter 170: Candid Gu Xinghao

Such a silent inquiry caused slight changes in the facial expressions of the members of the Gu family.

Though Zhuang Nainai was slow to react sometimes, at this moment, she understood that Si Zhengting was trying to raise her standing in the family.

Even the message he was trying to convey as he looked at her was this: It was up to her discretion whether or not she wanted to have this meal. No matter what her choice was, Gu Deshou wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

Zhuang Nainai felt a surge of warmth in her heart; it was sweet yet heartaching.

It had been such a long time since she had experienced how it was like to be protected by someone that she could not help but tear up.

But…

Even though she was reluctant to have this meal, she had to have it because Mother Zhuang was still in the hands of Gu Deshou.

Hence, Zhuang Nainai nodded at Si Zhengting.

Only then did Si Zhengting start walking towards the villa’s living room.

As Zhuang Nainai walked in after him, she lifted her head to glance at the Gu family villa.

She still remembered how she thought the Gu’s home was like heaven when she was first brought back to the Gu’s.

However, after coming back again after living at the Si’s castle for more than a week, Zhuang Nainai suddenly felt that the living room in the villa seemed smaller and the interior design of the whole room seemed more dull.

This was the difference.

Li Yufeng and Gu Xingshan did not dare to say anything else anymore. On the other hand, being the cheerful person he was, Gu Xinghao was talking incessantly to lighten the atmosphere during the meal. As he was doing so, he was looking at Si Zhengting with immense admiration.

Gu Deshou had also spoken here and there. One could consider this meal as a win-win situation for both the host and the guests.

Halfway through the meal, when Zhuang Nainai visited the washroom, she heard Gu Deshou tugging at Gu Xinghao and talking to him.

Gu Deshou praised in awe, “I always thought that you are too flippant and impotent, but your performance today is unexpectedly good.”

Gu Xinghao raised his head in pride instantly. “Father, I already told you I’m capable.”

Gu Deshou chuckled. “Haha, not bad. Let me tell you, after the meal, you should invite Mr. Si to have a stroll in the garden.”

Gu Xinghao was bewildered immediately. “Why do we have to go to the garden? Though our garden is decent, Mr. Si owns so many private gardens. Why would he like our garden?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Deshou’s temples thumped incessantly. “Just do as I say!”

However, Gu Xinghao frowned. “In my opinion, I can invite Mr. Si upstairs to take a look at my games. I didn’t expect Mr. Si to have such deep understanding for games!”

Gu Deshou was speechless.

He had thought that his son had grown up to be more capable. After all, he had such an animated conversation with Mr. Si just now. Turned out, he was still hopeless!

Gu Deshou ordered, “No matter what, you have to bring Mr. Si to tour the garden!”

“Why? Father, let me explain…”

“Shut up! If you fail to invite Mr. Si to tour the garden, you will not be getting any allowance for the remaining half of the year!”

Gu Xinghao panicked. “Father!”

“Go!”

Gu Xinghao nodded unwillingly only at this moment.

As Zhuang Nainai saw the father and son leave, she shook her head helplessly.

She had not had much interaction with them, but she felt that Gu Deshou was a despicable and cunning old fox while Li Yufeng was a peacock who would always be standing there and talking with a harsh tone. Gu Xingshan was the typical white lotus flower, which had not fully grown. She was such a hypocrite, nobody could be more fake than her.

Truthfully, in the entire Gu family, the one who was not utterly hopeless yet also the most hostile to her was Gu Xinghao.

Though he was not smart, he wasn’t scheming. He wasn’t sly, so he was not a flatterer.
