Grandpa Xiao had already started eating, but since he could not eat anything too heavy, not much oil was added to the plate. He started with a small bowl of meat soup and started to extend his chopsticks towards the sweet sour pig before he was stopped by Xiao Sheng.
After taking a glimpse of the young master, the butler quickly used the chopsticks to place the chestnut into Grandpa Xiao's bowl, making the latter smile bitterly as he looked at the chestnut.
“Grandfather Xiao, eat this.” Gu Xiqiao used his chopsticks to pick up some cucumbers for him and pushed his chestnut-filled bowl to one side. “Sir butler grandfather, you know about traditional Chinese medicine, right? Judging from how you know the quality of ginseng root I brought here last time. ”
The butler nodded and replied, “That's right, Miss Gu, I learned it from a traditional Chinese doctor because Mr. Xiao was unwell in the past.”
Gu Xiqiao looked at Xiao Yun who grabbed the cucumber with a boiled egg after he ate the goose wings, and reached out and held his arm in place, his expression cold. “If that's the case, why don't you know about foods that have properties that can fight against each other?”
The combination of goose with egg will damage the digestive system, while the combination of food on the table such as peanuts and cucumbers and beef and chestnut will be detrimental to health as well if eaten together. They must have eaten a lot of this type of food in the past, did he not realize that something was wrong?
“This ..” The butler's expression changed as he looked at the plate on the table, and he couldn't respond for a while.
After he said this, the table became silent. Xiao Yun and Wu Hongwen who trusted Gu Xiqiao the most immediately put down their chopsticks, while Xiao Sheng took out his phone, his expression became solemn.
“It still feels good enough, let's eat.” Grandpa Xiao was silent for a moment before speaking again.
If food cannot be eaten together, they can eat one or the other.
Everyone there was smart, and they immediately knew that Grandpa Xiao did not want the person behind this to be told, and they all took the chopsticks and started eating again. Thankfully, Wu Hongwen started to joke around and lighten the atmosphere, or the audience would be able to see something was amiss.
Xiao Yun was in a bad mood, feeling so guilty that he had let this happen under his watch when he invited the two to his house.
“I think you guys are still bothered with those problems from before?” Gu Xiqiao patted her shoulder comfortably.
“It's almost dealt with, but I owe you.” Xiao Yun immediately calmed down and turned to look at Wu Hongwen. “You too.”
“Do not hesitate, we will be friends!” Wu Hongwen smiled, and continued, “If you have something you need, you can ask for help! Although I have not inherited the Wu family, I can still use some people without any problems. If there's anything you don't want to do because of your surname, our family can do it for you! ”
The Xiao family was purely business-oriented, whereas the Wu family had all kinds of different pies, and they had connections to all sides of society, he said, so that they could do things that the Xiao family could not.
Gu Xiqiao wanted to say something as well, but her phone rang right at that moment, and she received the call and listened for a while, before nodding and hanging up.
“I won't bother you again today, so you guys focus on your problems okay? I have to go.” Gu Xiqiao waved his hand to say goodbye.
Xiao Yun did not stop him from leaving because he had to deal with many things in his own backyard, so he saw the two visitors leaving before walking back to the manor and straight into the kitchen, so he saw the two visitors leave before walking back to the manor and straight into the kitchen, practically left behind an ice trail as he walked.
He became even more lively after being friends with Gu Xiqiao, but he also became even scarier. Ever since he and Gu Xiqiao were kidnapped, he and Wu Hongwen had finally understood that they were not strong enough, and they had to become stronger to at least not hinder Gu Xiqiao.
Let this first step be by repairing the Xiao family!
Yin Shaoyuan was the one who called Gu Xiqiao, and his car was stopped not far from Xiao Manor, and the youth who had always been perfect and unperturbed now had his brows furrowed tightly, not knowing what to say.
Standing beside her was a young girl of about four years old who wore a surgical mask and held a lollipop in her hand.
After he had done so, however, he did not know how to deal with it because he had never dealt with children before, but Mu Jiatong was a good child who had an innocent pair of eyes, together with a longing for everything in the outside world.
Yin Shaoyuan practically melted down and took him to interesting places to satisfy this longing of his, but as he played, he, he started to become even paler and paler to the point where he was so worried that he had help from Gu Xiqiao.
“Sister Gu, I miss you so much!” Mu Jiatong looked at Gu Xiqiao with bright eyes, not even blinking.
“Good girl, you can take off your mask when there are not many people, know?” Gu Xiqiao carried him to sit on his lap, taking off his mask like he did. “Have you eaten?”
Mu Jiatong glanced towards Yin Shaoyuan as if he was hesitant about how to answer, but it was clear what the answer of the question was, so Gu Xiqiao sent a sharp glare to Yin Shaoyuan.
Yin Shaoyuan immediately called his secretary to order a restaurant for them, explained himself after he did, “I don't know what he can eat, or I'll take him out to eat! If not, I won't ask for your help! “
Gu Xiqiao ignored him altogether and held Mu Jiatong's hand gently, before sending a gentle stream of small chi into his body. Mu Jiatong only felt a warmth spread through his hands into his body, and he suddenly felt a much better, healthy red hue appearing on his face as he looked towards Gu Xiqiao in astonishment.
“Tong Tong's immune system is much weaker than others, so he should be sent back to the quarantine room after too long being in public.” Gu Xiqiao knew how frightening the quarantine room was for a child, in a place where no one could enter except the nurse in charge of medicine.
“Saudari Gu, I'm the one who wants Uncle Yin to play with me.” Mu Jiatong scratched Gu Xiqiao's hand gently, his expression solemn. “Tong Tong have fun today!”
Yin Shaoyuan looked at those innocent eyes through the rearview mirror, and he could not help the warmth and sadness that penetrated his heart. “I will pay more attention next time, forgive me.”
Since the people who were with him were Gu Xiqiao and Mu Jiatong, Yin Shaoyuan did not take them to a foreign place, but just a very ordinary private restaurant.
Gu Xiqiao had already eaten, so he only watched as Mu Jiatong ate.
Yin Shaoyuan sat opposite the two girls, and while she had always known that Gu Xiqiao was beautiful, she was still attracted by her clear spring-like eyes, and her gentle and warm expression as she looked at Mu Jiatong.
If it wasn't for Jiang Shuxuan, he would…
Ahems.
He stopped his thoughts even before they could form, and thinking of this he reached out and pushed a glass of fruit juice towards him.
After all, it was still quite nice to have a new little sister.
“Try this fruit juice, the best in N City!”
Gu Xiqiao took the glass and took a sip, before raising his eyebrows slightly. That was very nice.
I'll call outside. Yin Shaoyuan could not help but smile when he saw that he liked her, but his phone suddenly rang.
Seeing who the caller was, his expression froze slightly before he received the call outside.
