After Xia Meng walked over, he saw Gu Yezheng staring at something without focus, his expression slightly solemn, and a cigarette unconsciously held in his mouth.

Perhaps hearing the footsteps, Gu Ye came back to his senses. When he saw Xia Meng, he subconsciously put out the cigarette butt and put a smile on his face.

"get off work."

Xia Meng smiled and nodded, opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Meng looked at Gu Ye curiously, with a hint of curiosity in his tone, "I feel like you are troubled."

"Well..." Xia Meng added, "If it's a work matter and it's inconvenient, you don't have to tell me."

Gu Ye started the car and shook his head, "It's not about work, it's about Gu Yang."

"What happened to him?" Xia Meng asked, "Did something happen?"

Gu Ye shook his head, "I don't know, but he hasn't contacted his family for almost a month. I'm a little worried about him."

Xia Meng had a very good impression of Gu Yang. Hearing this, he was inevitably concerned and said,

"Did you take the initiative to contact him?"

Gu Ye sighed softly and shook his head, "My brother... his job is of a special nature..."

Xia Meng understood immediately and stopped asking.

He just said, "Then he may be busy. He will definitely contact you after his mission is completed."

Gu Ye nodded, "Yeah."

Seeing that Gu Ye was about to take her directly to his house, Xia Meng immediately said,

"Let's go to the department store first, and I'll buy something."

Gu Ye suddenly realized, and then said softly with some embarrassment,

"Actually, you don't need to buy anything."

Xia Meng ignored him.

It's the first time you visit someone's house and it's polite to buy gifts. Although Xia Meng goes her own way, she is a polite person!

"By the way," Xia Meng turned to ask Gu Ye, "What do your parents like?"

Gu Ye thought for a while, "It seems like there's nothing you particularly like, right?"

Xia Meng was speechless and had to ask, "Does your father smoke or drink? Does he like tea?"

Gu Ye nodded, "Yeah. My dad used to smoke a lot, but since he got seriously ill, the doctor asked him to quit smoking and drinking."

Xia Meng nodded, indicating that he understood.

When they arrived near the department store, the two got off the car and walked around. Xia Meng bought the most expensive tea in the mall and a silk scarf for Gu Ye's mother. Apart from that, they only bought some Fruit and two cans of milk powder.

After buying the gifts, Gu Ye drove Xia Meng all the way to the compound.

The gate of the compound was strictly guarded by soldiers on guard. When he arrived at the gate, Gu Ye lowered the window and said hello to the guard, and the car drove into the compound unimpeded.

Finally, the car stopped outside a two-story bungalow. After getting off the car, Gu Ye took the initiative to help Xia Meng carry her things, and the two of them walked to the door.

Gu Ye opened the door and walked in, followed closely by Xia Meng.

"Dad! Mom! I'm back!"

"Back!" Soon a grey-haired, loving-looking aunt hurried out of the kitchen,

"Is Xia Meng here?"

Xia Meng quickly stood up from behind Gu Ye, with a cute smile on his face, nodded slightly to the woman, and said in a sweet voice,

"Hello, aunt, I'm Xia Meng!"

"Oh," Deng Mingwei walked up to Xia Meng with an admiring look on his face and took Xia Meng's hand intimately.

"Your child looks so good!"

"Come on, you just got off work, right?" Deng Mingwei pulled Xia Meng to sit down on the sofa in the living room, "Sit down and take a rest."

Xia Meng, "Thank you, auntie."

Deng Mingwei said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, Xiaomeng, from now on you will treat this place as your home. Don't be constrained."

Xia Meng, "Hey."

Xia Meng handed the gift to Deng Mingwei, "Auntie, this is my first time coming to the door. This is a little thought from me."

"Oh, you are so polite, kid," Deng Mingwei took the gift, "Come as soon as you come. Bring whatever gift you want. You are not allowed to bring gifts to the door in the future."

Xia Meng smiled sweetly, "Hey!"

Deng Mingwei took the beige gold silk scarf that Xia Meng gave her and stroked it carefully, her eyes full of love. There were also two carnations on the scarf, which looked low-key yet noble.

Deng Mingwei looked at Xia Meng with even more affection, "Good boy, I like him very much."

Then a tall man with a majestic expression and sharp eyes slowly came down the stairs. ''

After seeing this, Xia Meng stood up and greeted politely with a smile.

"Hello, uncle!"

"Hey," Gu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down and talk."

Xia Meng, "Hey."

Deng Mingwei stood up and said, "The meat is still stewing in the kitchen. You guys talk first, and I'll stir-fry some vegetables."

Xia Meng quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, I'm going to help."

"No, no need," Deng Mingwei pushed Xia Meng onto the sofa and prevented her from getting up. He turned to Gu Ye and said,

"Xiaoye, follow me to the kitchen."

Gu Ye agreed, "Okay!"

So, Gu Ye followed Deng Mingwei to the kitchen to cook.

Only Xia Meng and Gu Qingshan were left in the living room.

"Your father..." Gu Qingshan looked at Xia Meng with the kind of kindness an elder looks at a younger generation, "He is a hero, but it's a pity..."

Gu Qingshan let out a long sigh.

Xia Meng had no choice but to lower his head and pretend to be sad.

Seeing Xia Meng's sadness, Gu Qingshan quickly reached out and patted Xia Meng's shoulder, comforting him,

"As her daughter, you did not embarrass him. You are her pride!"

Xia Meng's heart didn't fluctuate much, but she pretended to be touched and nodded, "Yes."

Gu Qingshan waited for Xia Meng to calm down, then smiled and said,

"Your father was also a thorn in my side when he was a soldier under me..."

Listening to Gu Qingshan's memories, Xia Meng was not very touched. Maybe Gu Qingshan thought that talking about Xia Hongbin would bring the two of them closer. After all, no child doesn't like to hear about his father's past.

But unfortunately, Xia Meng is not the original, so she admires Xia Hongbin. As for family ties?

almost none.

But Xia Meng could feel that Gu Qingshan had no ill intentions, he just wanted to chat with her.

Xia Meng was very cooperative, so the atmosphere between the two was not too awkward.

Soon, Deng Mingwei's voice came from the kitchen, "It's time to eat!"

Xia Meng glanced back subconsciously and saw Gu Ye putting the dish on the table.

"Let's go," Gu Qingshan stood up and said to Xia Meng with a smile,

"Let's go eat first."

Xia Meng, "Hey!"

Xia Meng walked to the restaurant and wanted to help in the kitchen, but Deng Mingwei pulled her to sit down and served her a bowl of pork rib soup with a smile.

Xia Meng took it and said, "You are the elder, let me do this."

"You are a guest today," Deng Mingwei said while serving soup to Gu Qingshan.

"Today, you don't have to do anything. Just sit and chat with us. We will be very happy."

Gu Qingshan also nodded, "Yes, we are familiar with each other today, and you will come to eat often from now on."

Deng Mingwei said with a smile, "Yes, from now on, you will treat this as your own home, and don't be polite to us."

Xia Meng pretended to be shy and lowered his head, causing Deng Mingwei to laugh.

After Gu Ye brought out all the dishes from the kitchen, he sat next to Xia Meng.

The Gu family's meal tonight is very sumptuous, including braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, sea cucumbers roasted with green onions, fried chicken with soy sauce, spicy prawns, and a fragrant roast leg of lamb.

Deng Mingwei was afraid that Xia Meng would be restrained, so he kept picking up food for Xia Meng.

It can be felt that Gu Ye's parents are quite satisfied with her.

Xia Meng was actually prepared. If Gu Ye's parents were dissatisfied with her and found fault with her, she would probably give up on this relationship.

Although Gu Ye is very good, but...she doesn't want to waste her energy on trivial family matters.

She is actually quite busy. She has to go to work on weekdays, and spends her free and vacation time filming. In the future, she will also run her own factory and company, so she won't have time to waste time on family chores.

As for asking her to give up her job, give up filming, give up her own business, and go home to be a full-time wife, this is impossible!

If Gu Ye dared to ask her to give up her career and stay at home, she would kick Gu Ye.

As for asking her to be a good wife to please Gu Ye's parents, forget it, she has a bad temper and can't stand anger!

Gu Ye's parents were enthusiastic about her, and Xia Meng was naturally not indifferent and distant. She always had a smile on her face. Although she spoke little, her manners were thoughtful, her words were meaningful, and her attitude was modest, which made Deng Mingwei and Gu Qingshan like her even more.
