Chapter 323: Gong Yoo feels wronged
Gu Chenxi originally planned to drive Kong Liu home and then return to her own home.
However, Kong Yoo's parents were at home today. Seeing their future daughter-in-law driving the car to the doorstep, how could they let her "escape" right under their noses?
The two of them enthusiastically pulled Gu Chenxi into the house.
"Xiao Xi, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll ask Auntie to go buy some groceries."
Liu Mengya took Gu Chenxi's hand and walked inside.
Kong Cheng followed closely behind and said, "Yes, don't be shy, just tell me if you want to eat anything."
Gong Yoo, who was left out last, looked at the three people who had already entered the house and thought, "Is he his biological son or not? I didn't get this kind of treatment when I was at home."
"Uncle and aunt, that I..."
Of course Gu Chenxi didn't want to stay. She had too little contact with Gong Liu's parents. She felt a lot of pressure just standing together, let alone eating together.
Thinking back to the last time he had New Year’s Eve dinner at Gong Yoo’s house, Gu Chenxi sat on his chair holding his breath the entire time.
Gu Chenxi wanted to refuse, but the other party's attitude was too enthusiastic, especially Kong's mother, who kept calling her "Xiao Xi" and she didn't know how to refuse.
She cast her gaze towards Kong Yoo behind her, hoping that he could help her reject the invitation to have dinner together - but what she got was a helpless look from Kong Yoo.
He knew his mother's temper better than anyone else, and he couldn't stop her from doing anything she wanted to do.
Seeing that Kong Liu didn't move, Gu Chenxi gave him another look.
Kong Liu knew that if he didn't take any action, Gu Chenxi would be angry with him soon.
So, Kong Liu walked over quickly and said to his mother, "Mom, Xiaoxi has something else to do later, so he may not be able to have dinner at our house."
"Is there something?" Hearing this, Liu Mengya turned to look at Gu Chenxi and asked, "What's the matter, Xiaoxi?"
"Uh...this..."
Gu Chenxi was stunned by this sudden question and couldn't think of any good excuse for a moment, so she turned to look at Kong Liu, hoping that he would continue to help her out.
Gong Yoo also continued: "Today... isn't today Qingming Festival? Their family is sweeping the graves tonight!"
"Sweeping the graves at night?" Liu Mengya frowned. She obviously didn't quite believe what her son said. "Is there still a custom of sweeping the graves at night in Zhonghai?"
It is very taboo to sweep tombs when the sun is not shining. You cannot go before sunrise or after sunset. It is usually only done during the day because the yang energy is strongest during the day. This is a saying passed down from the older generation.
Of course, many young people nowadays don’t know about this kind of thing.
Gu Chenxi also felt that Gong Liu's excuse was a bit outrageous. After thinking for a few seconds, she couldn't think of a better excuse, so she had to tell the truth: "Auntie, I suddenly remembered that I don't seem to have anything to do tonight, so I can stay for dinner."
"Ah?" Kong Liu was a little dumbfounded after hearing what Gu Chenxi said.
At this moment he might be thinking – I tried so hard to make excuses for you, and you stabbed me in the back?
Sure enough, after hearing Gu Chenxi's words, Liu Mengya turned and looked at her son.
She raised her hand and tapped Gong Liu on the head, then said, "I think you just don't want Xiaoxi to play in our house, so you said that on purpose!"
Gong Yoo covered his head, looked at his mother, and said aggrievedly: "I, I am innocent!"
He glanced at Gu Chenxi who was beside his mother.
"Pfft~"
Seeing this scene, Gu Chenxi covered his mouth and started laughing.
"???"
Kong Liu looked at Gu Chenxi's smile and three big question marks popped up in his head.
Gu Chenxi agreed to stay for dinner, and Gong Yoo became the bad guy!
Liu Mengya poked her son's forehead and said, "Look, Xiaoxi is obviously happy to have dinner at our house."
Kong Cheng also said: "Can you learn from your father and me and be nicer to your wife?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengya gently pushed Kong Cheng - they are already an old couple, how could they still feel embarrassed?
When Gu Chenxi heard Kong Cheng's words, he felt his face getting hot, so he lowered his head silently.
Gong Yoo thought to himself, "Why is everything blamed on me?"
It is better to have less trouble than more, so he did not say what was in his mind - to avoid being scolded by his parents again.
Gong Liu's father went to the kitchen to ask the cook to prepare more delicious dishes. Liu Mengya chatted with Gu Chenxi in the living room, and Gong Liu stayed with his mother.
While his mother was in the bathroom, Kong Liu finally had a chance to talk to Gu Chenxi alone: "I was kind enough to help you find an excuse, but you actually tricked me in front of my parents!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I, I was...the situation at that time..."
Gu Chenxi wanted to say something, but Liu Mengya had already walked out of the bathroom, so she quickly shut her mouth again.
Afterwards, she used her cell phone to secretly send a message to Gong Yoo.
Gu Chenxi: "Baby has been wronged, I will reward you with a kiss."
Gu Chenxi: [Kiss emoticon package]
Gong Yoo: "I want a real kiss."
Gu Chenxi: "I'll owe you first."
"Cough cough..."
Liu Mengya looked at the two people who were playing with their phones, coughed twice, and then said, "What secrets do you two have that you have to hide from me and chat on your phone."
The two looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and put their phones in their pockets.
With Kong Cheng personally supervising in the kitchen, tonight's dinner was very sumptuous and the taste was naturally impeccable.
After dinner, Liu Mengya took Gu Chenxi to the cloakroom on the third floor to try on clothes.
When two beautiful women are together, the topics they talk about naturally cannot avoid things like clothes and jewelry.
Liu Mengya has a separate dressing room, which is filled with all her clothes. The moment Gu Chenxi walked in, he was shocked by the walls of clothes in front of him.
Although her closet also has a lot of clothes and shoes, it is less than a quarter of the size of Liu Mengya's closet.
The design of the entire cloakroom is the same as the display stand in a clothing store. The cabinets around it are translucent, and there are two fully transparent three-dimensional display cabinets in the middle.
Although there are a lot of clothes, the overall look is not crowded and messy. There are separate compartments in the wardrobe, each of which neatly displays various types of clothes. The compartments can also be raised and lowered by the control screen.
Watching Liu Mengya use the remote control to lower the clothes from the top of the cupboard, Gu Chenxi suddenly realized that all the support racks and storage racks visible to the naked eye in the entire room were electric.
"Do you still like the clothes that your aunt gave you last time?"
Liu Mengya picked up a coat and measured it in front of Gu Chenxi. "Wow, Xiaoxi, our heights and body shapes are similar. I haven't worn many of the clothes here. Try them on. If you like any of them, I'll give them to you as well."
"Auntie, this... this is inappropriate..."
Gu Chenxi was halfway through saying no when she suddenly realized that the coat in her hand was actually a super commemorative edition with a global limited edition of 28 pieces - at that moment she really hesitated.
"Try it if you like it, don't be polite with auntie!"
"Thank you, Auntie."
Gu Chenxi put on the coat with an embarrassed look on his face.
