C8 The Old Man Is Here

Gu Jiajia would sleep late every Friday night in order to keep up with Yu Yang and the pills. Looking at her heartbroken expression and feeling wronged, Jiajia wished that she could fly to his side now. No matter what marriage he had, none of them was as important as her pills.

However, she could only imagine that reality was just that cruel. After feeling sad for her, Gu Jiajia yawned as she set the alarm clock. Tomorrow, at 8 PM, she would go to the studio with Xingjie.

The sister-in-law was too enthusiastic. It was completely different from what he had imagined.

The result was obvious. The alarm clock didn't wake the sleeping Gu Jiajia. It only made its own sounds in other people's world over and over again before it was pressed down!

When Gu Jiajia woke up, it was already ten o'clock. It was already two hours late for the scheduled time. After cleaning everything up, Jiajia apologetically called Xingjie. Unexpectedly, Xingjie's attitude was really good.

"Sister-in-law, my studio is in the fifth building behind my cousin's company. Take your time. No rush."

Before Gu Jiajia hung up the phone, she clearly heard the malicious laughter coming from Xingjie's mouth.

"Aiya, sister-in-law, you didn't come by subway, did you?" Xingjie asked when she saw the flushed Gu Jiajia at the door of her studio.

"Well, I don't have a Chinese driver's license, so I can't drive." Gu Jiajia explained.

Xingjie brought Gu Jiajia to the floor where her studio was located and went to her office.

"Sister-in-law, you just returned home, so you definitely aren't as familiar with this place as my brother. You should have let him take you on a tour around here."

Xingjie said as she poured water for Gu Jiajia.

When Gu Jiajia heard what Xingjie said, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile.

"Your brother is so busy, it's better not to disturb him."

When Xingjie heard this, she became unhappy. How could this be a bother!

"He was your legal husband. How could I be bothering you?"

Gu Jiajia knew that if she continued to explain, the topic would revolve around Pei Zhen.

"Size it up to make a shirt! When do we start? "

Once Gu Jiajia said this, Xingjie remembered her ultimate goal. However, she looked at her watch and saw that it was already lunchtime. Thus, she decided to take care of the measurement for the afternoon. The two of them went for lunch together.

A lunch had greatly reduced the distance between the two of them. Both of them did not like cilantro, and both of them liked stinky tofu; both liked hot-blooded American movies, and did not like literature and art films.

"Sister-in-law, call my cousin over as well!" I'll take his measurements while I'm at it, and make you a set of matching clothes! " Xingjie measured Gu Jiajia as she spoke.

"He won't come." Gu Jiajia vowed based on the few times she had met him.

In Xingjie's eyes, her own cousin was voicing her resentment! Look, this husband is not as good as Nan Jing. It's impossible for him to return the goods, so there's a poor evaluation!

"It's almost done next week. I'll bring it to your grandma's when we get there!" "This way, you won't have to run any more." Xingjie explained in detail.

Gu Jiajia nodded. After bidding farewell to Xingjie, she went back to 702 and bought her weekly rations at the supermarket downstairs.

What Jiajia never expected was that she would see Pei Zhen's figure at 702. It was really strange.

"Why are you here?" The question in his heart blurted out.

Pei Zhen put the iPad aside and looked up at Gu Jiajia.

"Tomorrow, grandpa and grandma will come over." Pei Zhen answered quickly.

Gu Jiajia nodded like she understood and then walked into the kitchen to ignore Pei Zhen.

"I'll go upstairs first. See you tomorrow."

Gu Jiajia quickly returned to her room after leaving the milk in the fridge. Pei Zhen was too embarrassed to stay there and didn't know how to get along with her at all. He might as well go back to his room.

"Wait."

Pei Zhen called out to Gu Jiajia, who was heading upstairs.

Jiajia looked at Pei Zhen, who had stopped her, with a puzzled expression, as if asking something.

"This is also my home, so … You don't have to be surprised when I get back. "

It took her a moment to realize that she was not satisfied with what she had just said, and then Jiajia went upstairs.

Looking at the figure of Gu Jiajia's back as she went upstairs, Pei Zhen felt helpless towards himself. He wouldn't care about the question that didn't become a problem just now, so why did he explain it this time?

After waking up in the morning of the next day, Gu Jiajia finally accepted the news that Pei Zhen was living next door because she saw him running back in the morning when she woke up.

"Good morning!" Gu Jiajia looked at Pei Zhen. It was rude not to greet him, so she could only bite the bullet and greet Pei Zhen.

Pei Zhen glanced at Gu Jiajia and nodded.

After Jiajia cleaned up and went downstairs, she found that breakfast was already set up on the table. Pei Zhen sat at the table reading a newspaper and drinking coffee. The plate in front of him was still untouched, so he could tell that it was waiting for her.

"Sorry for the long wait."

After all, this was the first time the two of them had had such a formal meal. Gu Jiajia apologized for being late.

Both of them were devoted to "eating without speaking a word and sleeping without speaking a word." It was rare to hear the conversation of two people at the table, just the clatter of knives and forks and plates.

"At the company, you and I are strangers."

After breakfast, Pei Zhen's first words were these.

Gu Jiajia nodded her head obediently to show that she knew. However, in her heart, she was silently cursing, "You make it sound as if we're not strangers!"

Maybe Pei Zhen had noticed Gu Jiajia's discomfort last night and went to the study room after breakfast. Gu Jiajia was happy to be alone and went back to her room after washing the dishes in the dishwasher.

When the old man and the old lady arrived, it was about time for lunch. Gu Jiajia decided to cook for herself, considering the old man's condition.

"Jiajia, where's Zhen? Why did I see you here alone! " The old man surveyed his surroundings, inspecting something as he asked his granddaughter-in-law who was pouring water.

"Upstairs, I'll be down in a moment." Gu Jiajia replied smoothly.

"I'll call him down and have him be your assistant."

As the old man said this, he took up his walking stick and went upstairs. Gu Jiajia held his forehead. It seemed that this old man didn't believe Pei Zhen would live here.

"Grandma, please sit here for a while. I'll go cook."

Gu Jiajia said a few words to the old lady before going into the kitchen.

The old man really didn't expect to see his own grandson in 702.

"Yo, it's really here!" "Seems like Jiajia didn't lie to me."

The old man joked.

"Yes."

Pei Zhen didn't pay attention to the old man's teasing and said casually.

"Hurry up and cook for Jiajia! You're busy working every day and the company won't let you go bankrupt even if you lose a day!"

Pei Zhen didn't say much. After putting down his work, he went downstairs with the old man.

Only after seeing Pei Zhen obediently enter the kitchen did the old man reveal a satisfied smile. It seemed like Pei Zhen wasn't unreachable after all.

The kitchen was not considered small, but Gu Jiajia felt that the kitchen area was too small after Pei Zhen came in! He felt like he could crash into Pei Zhen the moment he turned around.

"What do you need my help for?" Pei Zhen looked at Gu Jiajia who was cooking and asked.

Gu Jiajia pointed at the carrot and cucumber beside her hand. " "Wash these and cut them into pieces."

After Pei Zhen heard about his work, he walked with his long legs to Gu Jiajia's side to wash the vegetables. Pei Zhen's sudden approach made Gu Jiajia's heart beat even faster. Pei Zhen's aura was too strong.

"Be careful when cutting vegetables." Pei Zhen said coldly after he left Gu Jiajia's safe zone.

Jiajia was trying her best to adjust her state of mind, so she didn't hear what Pei Zhen said clearly.

"Ah?" "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhen glanced at Gu Jiajia and suddenly felt that this woman was really stupid.

"Oh, got it!" Gu Jiajia didn't wait for Pei Zhen to speak and just continued talking. Her eyes glanced at the bowl in Pei Zhen's hand. So it was a pot. Gu Jiajia, where are you going?! Was he lacking a man?

After a period of confusion, lunch was finally ready.

The old man and old lady both smiled at the sight of Pei Zhen and his partner bringing lunch to the table like a newlyweds. Seeing that the two of them didn't seem to have such a tacit understanding, there was no point in worrying about it.

"Jiajia, did you make all this?" The old lady asked Gu Jiajia in surprise as she looked at the dishes on the table.

Gu Jiajia smiled and nodded when she heard the old lady's words.

"When I first arrived in Germany, I didn't like the food there, so I cooked in the apartment I rented." Jiajia explained.

"Pei Zhen also knows how to cook, but we've never eaten before, so we don't know if he really knows how to cook." The old man always had the fun of cheating his grandson, he couldn't help but tease Pei Zhen a little more.

"Didn't I stir-fry the last time?" "You ate them all!" Pei Zhen didn't go along with the old man's performance, but to take down the limelight.

This made the old man feel a little awkward. Once again, he couldn't eat because of Pei Qi. In the end, Pei Zhen couldn't stand watching him eat anymore so he cooked a dish for himself. He didn't expect it to be really delicious.

"Humph!" The old man snorted, "That was a long time ago. I've long since forgotten what it smells like."

The old man said proudly.

"I'll make it for you next time." Pei Zhen said.

The old man didn't say anything, he only glanced at his grandson. Next time, next time, I've waited countless times!

After seeing off the old man and the old lady, Gu Jiajia finally relaxed her tensed nerves. Just as she was about to go upstairs and take a bath, the doorbell rang. Gu Jiajia looked inside the cat hole. Why is he back?

"Why did you come back?" Gu Jiajia, whose brain was always out of control, said what she was thinking.

Pei Zhen raised his eyebrows, as if he was noncommittal to Gu Jiajia's words.

"I'll get something." Pei Zhen said concisely.

Gu Jiajia turned her body to the side, indicating that he could come in.

Pei Zhen picked up the iPad he left behind on the living room table and left. After exiting the door of 702, Pei Zhen realized that he was kicked out again!
