Chapter 542: The Friendship Was Over
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At that time, Su Ye casually checked and was shocked to tell him that Super Gummy was actually the old man of the Ruan Family, who was also Ruan Chu’s grandfather.
Wasn’t going to Old Master Ruan’s house for New Year’s Eve the same as spending New Year’s Eve with Ruan Chu?
Ji Linbai was tempted and accepted Old Master Ruan’s invitation decisively. He began to curry favor with Old Master Ruan and chatted happily with him.
During the online chat, he tried to probe Old Master Ruan’s opinion of Ji Linbai.
As a psychiatrist, he could analyze other people’s attitudes from simple words. Then, he realized that Ruan Chu’s grandfather was quite satisfied with him personally, but he cared more about his family background.
All in all, he did not think highly of him and Ruan Chu.
He specially picked a time after lunch to come to the Ruan family’s old mansion because he was afraid that Old Master Ruan would only let him eat lunch and leave.
In fact, his worries were not unfounded.
The smile on Old Master Ruan’s face froze the moment he saw that the person the driver had picked up was Ji Linbai.
The boat of friendship had capsized just like that.
However, he was the one who brought Ji Linbai back after all. He was too embarrassed to chase Ji Linbai away, so Ji Linbai could only stay for New Year’s
Eve dinner.
That was how Ruan Chu saw Ji Linbai at home.
At night, Ruan Chu personally cooked a table of sumptuous dishes.
Old Master Ruan was very proud of his granddaughter’s culinary skills. “Ever since Chuchu became proficient in culinary skills, our chefs have always been worried about losing their jobs.”
“Chuchu’s culinary skills are indeed good. I wonder which kid will benefit from it in the future.
Ruan Xueling’s gaze fell on Ji Linbai, who was beside Ruan Chu. “I’ve seen this Dr. Ji on a variety show. He’s Chuchu’s friend, right?”
Ruan Chu’s face heated up when she was suddenly stared at by the entire family. For some reason, she felt like she was bringing her boyfriend to meet her parents.
However, Dr. Ji was clearly invited by her grandfather.
However, there was no trace of awkwardness on his handsome face. He nodded very naturally. “Yes. Chuchu and I are very good friends.”
Ruan Xueling smiled and said, “They invited him to our house on New Year’s
Eve. Their relationship is indeed good.”
Old Master Ruan snorted. “I invited Little Ji. Chuchu doesn’t know.”
Ruan Chu was curious. “Grandpa, how do you know Dr. Ji?”
Old Master Ruan’s expression was a little unnatural. He was afraid that Ji Linbai would tell Ruan Chu that he was Ruan Chu’s fan, Super Gummy. He immediately said with a straight face, “You hid your illness from me, but you didn’t allow me to ask your psychiatrist in private?”
Ji Linbai also said, “We met when he asked about your condition.”
Old Master Ruan rolled his eyes. This kid had good eyesight and knew how to cover for him.
Ruan Chu had always felt guilty about this. She put food into Old Master Ruan’s bowl and said, “It’s my fault, Grandfather. I won’t do it again.” Old Master Ruan glared at her. “What did you mean by in the future?”
Ruan Chu shook her head repeatedly and promised. “No more.”
Old Master Ruan snorted and met Gu Yang’s smiling eyes.
For some reason, he felt like he had been seen through. He looked away guiltily.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Old Master Ruan played the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. Ruan Xueling and Gu Zhaoming watched the Spring Festival Gala with him.
Gu Pei couldn’t sit still anymore after watching two shows. He pulled Gu Yang into the courtyard and said mysteriously, “Sis, I brought something good.” Gu Jin and Feng Jue followed him out.
Gu Pei took out a bunch of sparklers of different shapes and sizes as if he were presenting a treasure..
