4708 Never Too Late to Love (115)

Gu Lingge blushed and said awkwardly, “You did it willingly. I didn’t force you!”

Gu Jinglian glared at him. “What’s wrong with helping your sister with her homework? Something to complain about?”

“…” Gu Chengze fell silent immediately.

Gu Jinglian held a position of prestige in the family. Although he was usually willing to give in to Chu He, he was absolutely domineering when it came to matters concerning Lingge.

Gu Chengze would not have a good time if he went against his father on this.

Biased!

Gu Chengze pouted aggrievedly.

Gu Lingge’s gaze landed on Bai Sheng. The girl smiled as she walked over to Bai Sheng and held her hand.

“I’ll address you as Sister-in-law from now on! Hello, Sister-in-law!”

Apart from having a glib tongue, Gu Lingge looked adorable and sensible. Bai Sheng even felt flattered by the girl’s words.

Initially, she was a little worried about getting along withe her mother-in-law, and that her relationship with her sister-in-law would not go smoothly.

Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law had taken the initiative to get close to her and expressed her warmest welcome!

Gu Chengze leaned close to Bai Sheng’s ear again and muttered quietly, “If you build a good relationship with my sister, it is equivalent to you conquering half of the Gu family!”

When Bai Sheng heard this, she smiled knowingly and looked at Gu Lingge.

Gu Lingge did not hear what Gu Chengze had whispered and was a little puzzled. She questioned, “Did you say something bad about me to Sister-in-law?”

Gu Chengze immediately raised his hand to clear his name. “I wouldn’t dare to speak ill of you. I’m innocent!”

His cowardice made everyone laugh uncontrollably.

Gu Linxi shook his head helplessly. “Enough! Let’s eat!”

Auntie Gui had already prepared dinner. As Gu Jinglian was the head of the family, everyone waited for him to be seated first. However, the man was traditional and allowed Chu He to take her seat first.

As she sat down, she gestured for Bai Sheng to sit next to her.

Bai Sheng was a little shy at first, but Gu Lingge took her hand and led her to the seat beside Chu He. Only then did the others take their seats.

During dinner, Bai Sheng was rather reserved. After all, she felt that the Gu family observed strict rules. She was worried that they would despise her if she made any slip-ups.

In the past, the Gu residence’s rules were indeed extremely strict. Later on, Chu He felt that this set of rules was too old, so she took the initiative to change it. They abandoned etiquette.

At first, Gu Jinglian was not used to it, but he gradually came round. The family atmosphere became more open and free.

“Don’t be reserved. Your father only looks rigid, but in fact, there aren’t that many rules in this family!”

When Bai Sheng heard this, she relaxed a little. However, even though she felt a little more at ease now, she still kept an eye on his expression as she ate.

Following her gaze, Chu He sized up Gu Jinglian and immediately elbowed him.

The man almost lost his grip on a piece of pork rib. Confused, he turned to look at his wife, only to see her winking at him.

Having been husband and wife for many years, they had some tacit understanding and he immediately understood her intentions.

The man took the initiative to pick up some food for Bai Sheng.

The girl was flattered!

As he picked up the food for her, he said, “Make sure you fill your stomach!”

Gu Lingge added enthusiastically, “That’s right. You’re already part of our family, so there’s no need to feel like a stranger!”

When Bai Sheng heard this, she was extremely touched!
