She hadn't changed her mind yet, but he called her first, making it seem like he was the one who came back to recognize his relatives.

Don't you think that's a bit presumptuous?

Zhao Zihua's face was almost blooming with smiles, and he nodded repeatedly, "Accept it! This gift must be accepted!"

Yan Ziyin's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. "Aye, it is our honor that you can become the son-in-law of our Zhao family. I didn't expect that we would have such a fate. It's great."

Zhao Jinchen reached out and patted Shi Ye's shoulder.

This friend is indeed right!

There was a faint smile on Shi Ye's lips. Gu Jinlan looked at him and always felt that something was wrong.

This kind of behavior is totally unlike his character.

Just as Gu Jinlan was observing Shi Ye, everyone looked at her.

Shi Ye also turned to look at her and reminded her softly, "Lanlan, say hello."

Gu Jinlan came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and for a moment he didn’t know how to greet her.

He pursed his lips and managed only three words, "Hello, everyone."

“……”There was complete silence.

The atmosphere was a bit strange and weird.

Gu Jinlan added: "Nice to meet you."

"..."

Shi Ye chuckled and put his long arm around Gu Jinlan's shoulders, "Lanlan is a little shy today."

Gu Jinlan indeed felt uncomfortable all over.

Maybe she was not ready to change her words yet. Being looked at by the Zhao family with expectant eyes, she could not call out "Mom and Dad" as smoothly as Shi Ye.

Yan Ziyin smiled gently, "It's okay, Lanlan, we are your family, don't be shy in front of us."

Gu Jinlan nodded. Yan Ziyin looked at her with extremely gentle eyes. Compared with the vicious look in Fang Yue's eyes when she looked at her, Yan Ziyin was like a fairy mother.

She relaxed a little. In fact, except Zhao Jinheng, everyone else in the Zhao family was easy to get along with.

Once she gets used to it, they should be able to get along happily, right?

Zhao Jinchen said, "Let's go, sit down and talk."

Gu Jinlan had never thought that there would be a day when she would be the center of attention, with everyone surrounding her, caring about her and surrounded by only tenderness and love.

This kind of feeling of having family members around and being happy together was something she had never dared to even dream of before.

The servant came over to remind everyone that it was time to eat, and everyone stood up and prepared to move to the dining room.

Gu Jinlan said, "I'm going to go to the bathroom."

Yun Luoxi was about to say that he would go with her, but Shi Ye spoke first, "I'll go with you."

After the couple left, Zhao Jinchen looked at his parents, "Dad, Mom, Lanlan is not used to it yet, don't rush her to change her mind, it will put a psychological burden on her, take your time."

Zhao Zihua nodded, "Okay, I'm already very happy that she is willing to recognize us."

Yan Ziyin said: "Jinchen, if Mommy behaves badly in front of Lanlan, you have to remind Mommy."

In fact, not only Gu Jinlan was not used to it, Yan Ziyin also felt a little awkward.

After all, she had never spent any time with her daughter, and she was always cautious, worried that she would say something wrong or do something wrong and make her daughter dislike her.

She really wanted to hug her daughter, this poor child who she had carried for ten months but had been wandering outside for more than twenty years.

But although Lanlan always smiled at her, there was always a hint of strangeness in her eyes. She was not as close to her as Yoona.

Zhao Jinheng laughed, "Mom, that's not the case, is it? Do you want to create another Zhao Shiyun?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhao Jinheng.

Zhao Jinche, who was closest to Zhao Jinheng, quickly moved to the side.

He couldn't smooth things over at a time like this.

His second brother always brings up things that are not related to him, and he is worried that he will be implicated if he gets too close to him.

Sure enough, Dad's face turned dark in an instant.

"Jin Heng! What are you talking about? Can Lan Lan be the same as Yun Er?! From now on, no one in this family is allowed to mention Yun Er again!"

After his daughter was switched by the kidnappers, Zhao Zihua has been a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures for many years and has become a very emotionally stable person.

But ever since Gu Jinlan appeared, Zhao Zihua's emotions have become unstable, and even have been experiencing great ups and downs. He would often feel extremely sad or happy because of Gu Jinlan's affairs.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open, and he looked majestic and oppressive.

Zhao Jinheng lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yan Ziyin quickly comforted her husband, "Zihua, today is a happy day, don't speak so loudly, it would be bad if Lanlan heard it."

Zhao Zihua let out a breath and glared at Zhao Jinheng again, "You kid, ever since you found Lan Lan, you have been acting like you don't care! She is your biological sister! She has suffered so much these years living outside, we should treat her better!"

"I am Zhao Zihua's daughter. I want to spoil her until she is lawless! Who can do anything to me?"

Zhao Jinheng gritted his teeth secretly. He had only said it casually and didn't do anything to Gu Jinlan. Was it necessary to be so angry?

Although he felt aggrieved, Zhao Jinheng still apologized.

"I see. I was wrong."

Although Zhao Jinchen is now the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Zihua's words are still the king's command that cannot be disobeyed in this family.

Under most circumstances, Zhao Zihua is a kind father, but when he gets angry, the Zhao brothers are the ones who fear him the most.

Zhao Jinchen said, "Dad, don't be angry. Lan Lan will be back soon. I believe Jin Heng will treat Lan Lan well. Don't worry. By the way, Jin Che, did you find the bottle of wine I treasured?"

Zhao Jinche suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh! I was cleaning up early in the morning and forgot about this."

"It's okay, I'll find it myself." Zhao Jinchen walked towards the wine cellar and patted Zhao Jinheng's shoulder gently when passing by him.

He believed that once his second brother really got to know Lan Lan, he would like her very much. It was just that his second brother had some misunderstandings about Lan Lan now.

They both need to give each other some time.

On this side, Gu Jinlan came out of the bathroom and turned on the faucet to wash her hands.

Shi Ye just stood beside her and watched her without going to the bathroom.

He asked, “How does it feel?”

"Not bad." Gu Jinlan smiled and looked at him in the mirror. "You were quite proactive today. You called mom and dad so smoothly. It's not like your usual personality at all."

Shi Ye said: "I think if you treat the Zhao family better, they will treat you better."

It’s not that he doesn’t trust his friend’s family, but there are many things between people that do need to be deliberately maintained.

In fact, he, like her, was indifferent to family affection and did not think that blood ties meant anything.

He had been living in the old house of the Shi family and had been poisoned by chronic poisoning, that is, he was harmed by his so-called relatives.

Therefore, people’s feelings are developed through interaction and are mutual.

In the Shi family, he has the best relationship with his grandmother because he was raised by his grandmother, and the person who has accompanied him the most and given him the most warmth since he was a child is his grandmother.

"That's all?" Gu Jinlan questioned, always feeling that Shi Ye's thoughts would not be that simple.

She has never met Shi Ye's parents, and she has never heard him mention the words "mom and dad" when he chats with Old Madam Shi.

But when he called Zhao Zihua and Yan Ziyin just now, it came out of his mouth naturally, as if he had rehearsed it many times in his mind, and there was a sense of purpose in it.

"That's all." Shi Ye nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his lips, "Do you think I have any plans for the Zhao family?"

Gu Jinlan lowered his eyes. Was he really overthinking?

"Let's go. Don't keep them waiting too long." Gu Jinlan wiped his hands, turned around and walked out.

Shi Ye hurriedly followed, a smile of planning in his eyes.

The Zhao family is indeed profitable to him now.

But what he wanted in his heart was only her.

At the same time, the security guard brought Shu Sijin to the outside of the Zhao family villa.
