After Li An finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Jiaojiao. It was only when they returned that they learned General Sheng was Jiaojiao's adoptive father.
Eldest Brother Gu listened to Li An without any change in his expression, but inwardly, he was a storm of mixed emotions.
'My timid, trouble-averse adopted sister has completely changed,' he thought. 'She doesn't need me anymore.'
Gu Jiaojiao glanced at her eldest brother, who was feigning composure, her second brother, who was busy stuffing his face, and the worried expressions on Mr. and Mrs. Gu's faces.
She stood up with a bright smile, placing food on everyone's plates and speaking in a gentle voice.
"Professor Li, you must be thirsty from all that talking. Have some donkey meat soup. Professor Cheng, He Shen Yi, Professor Xia, Grandpa—you all have some braised donkey meat."
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Dong, you have some too." Su Shuochi, ever perceptive, also served his parents-in-law, as well as his own parents.
