Chapter 315 This is a family dinner

Lei Jingwu and Yao Shula both smiled at Lei Jingqiu's mother, and then went to Old Master Lei's courtyard.

Lei Jingqiu's mother was left alone, bewildered in the wind...

Xiao Tiantian was extremely proud. He held his head high, holding Yao Shula's hand with one hand and Lei Jingwu's hand with the other. Yao Shuli and Yao Shuxin followed behind him.

Look, as soon as I got back, someone came to cause trouble. Do you really still think you're that clueless kid you used to be?

I've learned so much from my older sister!

How did my older sister put it again?

Oh, that's terrifyingly strong!

Yao Shula knew why Xiao Tiantian spoke to this second aunt in that way.

It was through this second aunt that Tian Lei met Secretary Lei.

When the two fell for each other, the second aunt didn't tell Grandpa Lei in time. By the time Grandpa Lei found out, the two had already registered their marriage.

Because of this incident, Xiao Tiantian often spoke ill of her second aunt in front of Yao Shula.

"His ambitions were higher than the sky, but his fate was as fragile as paper!"

I met my second uncle when he was sent to the countryside. She was the daughter of a director of the local revolutionary committee. Later, I don't know how, she married my second uncle.

Later, Grandpa felt sorry for Second Uncle and asked an old comrade-in-arms to transfer him back, so she came over with him.

Even though she herself came from the countryside, she still looks down on people from the countryside.

He keeps saying he's a country bumpkin...

"Big sister, you'll know how awful she is once you meet her!" Little Tiantian had absolutely no liking for this second aunt.

When Yao Shula saw her today...

Yeah, her way of speaking is quite unpleasant, no wonder Xiao Tiantian doesn't like her.

...

Seeing that Yao Shula had secretly followed Lei Jingwu to Old Master Lei's courtyard, Lei Jingqiu's mother snorted and turned to go to another courtyard.

In the living room of this courtyard, many members of the Lei family were gathered.

Today is Mr. Lei's birthday. We've already had lunch at a restaurant.

It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together, so we should have a good chat!

They had heard the commotion outside, but the Lei family had strict rules, and since Lei Jingwu was the eldest grandson, they dared not say anything about the people he personally brought.

What's more, they even brought the person directly to Old Master Lei's courtyard!

The old man's courtyard... they can't go there freely usually.

"Is it the family that takes care of Tiantian with money?" someone asked.

"Hmm, I heard it's because he sent his younger sister to Shanghai for university. Oh, the one who got the highest score in the city. Didn't Grandpa mention it before?"

"Since she's here, and she's taken care of Tiantian, isn't it only right that the old man treats her to a meal?" A young man reading a newspaper immediately replied.

"Oh, I see! It seems the old man really respects these people! He actually invited them to dinner!"

"What face-saving! If we really wanted to give them face, why didn't we invite them to the banquet at noon!"

At that time, all of Lei's relatives were present. Inviting them to that occasion was a real show of respect!

"The old man probably didn't invite them for lunch because he was afraid they were country bumpkins who wouldn't be presentable and would embarrass the Lei family!" the first person to ask laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded immediately.

Yes, if they really wanted to give us face, why didn't they invite us at noon? It must be that the old man doesn't think much of it!

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, the person who had previously spoken up for Yao Shula and the others put the newspaper in his hand on the coffee table next to the sofa.

He glanced at the self-important people in the living room and frowned.

Grandpa was right. The Lei family members... none of them are ambitious and just live off their past achievements.

"If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do."

However, think about it before you say these things. When will you be able to get my father and the Gu family's father to invite you to dinner together?

"Or rather, when will you be qualified to sit at the same table as Grandpa and Old Master Gu?" the man said slowly.

Upon hearing this, the living room immediately fell silent.

No one knew what to say.

I was having dinner at the same table with the two old men...

Everyone still remembers the banquet at noon. At the old man's table, apart from the old man of the Gu family, everyone was highly experienced and of similar status to the old man.

Even their parents, who were left only to stand...

"What? Still can't figure it out?"

Then you should think about it again. Tonight, the chef for the old man's side is the former head chef of the Peace Hotel, and the old man of the Gu family has also come over specially.

When did you become qualified to eat at that kind of table?

To put it more clearly, the old man chose to invite the siblings to dinner in the evening because he was thinking of them.

The people who went at noon were people I didn't know. If I invited them over without warning, it would only make them feel uncomfortable.

The old man had this in mind, which is why he chose to invite them over for dinner in the evening.

Inviting guests to your home is considered a family dinner.

But if you hire a professional chef to cook, then it's not just a simple family dinner; they're your honored guests!

The old man treated them like family! You guys... really! After saying this, the man got up and left.

Spending too much time with idiots will make you stupid too, and he doesn't want to become stupid himself.

It's all Lei Jingwu's fault. We agreed to discuss things together this afternoon, but he was busy picking people up, leaving me to wait all afternoon and listen to these guys talking nonsense.

After the man left, no one in the living room spoke.

Even if they didn't want to, they had to admit that their cousin was right.

If you really look down on that old man, why invite him to dinner? Is that the kind of person who invites people to dinner casually?

Grandpa Gu was also dining with them, along with his eldest and youngest grandsons, whom he valued most highly.

The old man really valued those siblings from the countryside.

...

In Grandpa Lei's courtyard, the dishes weren't ready yet, and Grandpa Lei and Grandpa Gu were talking to Yao Shula.

"We're all family! Let's have a simple meal together."

This is Tian Tian's maternal grandfather. Knowing that I was going to treat you to a meal, he insisted on coming over to freeload. He said he had been wanting to thank you for taking such good care of Tian Tian for a long time.

"Don't be shy today, it's just a family dinner, a simple home-cooked meal!" Grandpa Lei said with a smile as he introduced the meal to Yao Shula.

Yao Shula quickly pulled her younger siblings to greet the two old men.

"Hello, Grandpa Lei!"

"Hello, Grandpa Gu!"

The two old men immediately smiled and nodded.

"Shura, you haven't been naughty at your place all day, have you? It's alright, if you are naughty, just hit you with a feather duster!" said Grandpa Lei.

"Yes! Use a feather duster to spank him, spank his bottom! Just... be gentle when you hit him!" Old Master Gu said with a chuckle.

Before Yao Shula could speak, the usually well-behaved Xiao Tiantian became dissatisfied.

"My older sister would never have the heart to hit me!"
