Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 580: Clearly Very Concerned (10)

"Grandma, let’s go eat, Nian Nian is also hungry."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Lingqian generously wrapped his arm around Xia Yinian.

Xia Yinian was only momentarily stunned before accepting the gesture.

"Good, as long as Nian Nian is okay, everyone can eat in peace tonight," the Old Madam nodded.

Xia Yinian pursed her lips. Clearly, it was only Grandma and Brother Ling who couldn’t eat in peace, yet Grandma spoke as though the entire Gu Family was unable to eat because of her.

Was her influence really that significant?

"Let’s go." Watching the Old Madam leave, Gu Lingqian pulled Xia Yinian closer.

Tonight was just a family dinner, a time for the family to come together and bond, so there were no outsiders present.

When the Old Madam, Gu Lingqian, and Xia Yinian arrived, several people were already sitting at the table in the main house’s forecourt.

Seeing Xia Yinian, Guan Xiaoxue was very enthusiastic.

"Nian Nian has finally come back, come over and sit down quickly," Guan Xiaoxue stood up, waving her hand.

The three newcomers largely ignored the woman, but her expression remained cheerful.

Coming to the large table, Gu Lingqian pulled out a chair for Xia Yinian to sit down, then sat down beside her.

"Thank you!" Xia Yinian slightly lifted the corners of her mouth. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Suddenly, a wave of chill descended, like the frost of July, carrying with it an awe that made one shiver without feeling cold.

He had arrived; there was no need to guess. Such a chill, as if carrying central air conditioning with him wherever he went, was unmistakably identifiable.

Although she knew full well, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look.

When Xia Yinian looked back, she met that familiar yet strange gaze.

His eyes devoid of any warmth, fixed straight on her.

As their gazes collided, Xia Yinian’s heart trembled, and she immediately averted her eyes, no longer looking at him.

Her heart involuntarily contracted slightly, a flutter unavoidable, yet she was desperately trying to conceal it.

Gu Beicheng’s gaze merely swept over her, then he casually chose a spot to sit down.

It was just a casual family dinner, so everyone sat where they wished, no need for pretense today.

However, the ’casual’ spot that Gu Beicheng chose was right next to another position beside Xia Yinian.

But he seemed completely unconcerned, sitting down and then turning all his attention to the Old Madam.

"Mom." Gu Beicheng’s gaze at the Old Madam was filled with a hint of affection, completely different from the way he looked at others.

This finally put the Old Madam’s anxious heart at ease.

So, she did not notice that Gu Beicheng was sitting in a different place than usual.

Tonight, the Old Master was not present, and now even the Uncle had arrived, who else would dare to be negligent?

Soon, the servants finished serving dishes, and a dozen family members gathered around the big table to eat.

"Nian Nian, since you and Ling Qian are engaged now, you should avoid doing anything improper in the future. Such behavior is absolutely not allowed in the Gu Family, you understand?"

Guan Xiaoxue seemed to be kindly reminding her, but Xia Yinian obviously knew the ’kindness’ behind her words.

The matter with Weibo, anyone slightly inclined towards gossip here must surely know by now, right?

It’s not that people don’t dare to speak out of turn, rather they are looking for the right opportunity.

Guan Xiaoxue, fearing her words were too obvious, laughed again.

As the Old Madam furrowed her brows, she quickly said, "Oh, Nian Nian, don’t blame your Third Sister-in-law for being nosy, we are all a family now, it was just Third Aunt gently reminding you."

"In fact, Mom had mentioned this when we walked in, didn’t she?"
