    258.Xu family

    According to the address given by Xu Jingtang, Gu Pan took a taxi and arrived at the destination.

    This is the other end of City C. Each house is a single-family house, but the design style is more like a European town style, which looks simple and exquisite.

    Gu Pan found the location given by Xu Jingtang, and then stood in front of the iron fence and called Xu Jingtang. The retro atmosphere everywhere made Gu Pan have a better impression of this residential area.

    No one answered the call to Xu Jingtang for a long time. Just when Gu Pan felt strange, the door not far away was opened and a man wearing a navy blue sweater came out.

    Xu Jingtang looked at Gu Pan who was struggling to pull the suitcase and hold the coat, and his steps involuntarily moved a few minutes faster, “Thank you.”

    Gu Pan quickly shook his head: “It’s okay, it’s all my fault…”

    Seeing Gu Pan’s frightened look, Xu Jingtang felt a little unhappy for no reason.

    “Then I… will go back first.” Because he didn’t know how to face Xu Jingtang, who looked unhappy, the only way Gu Pan could think of was to run away.

    Unexpectedly, a female voice came from the other side of the door a few steps away: “Jingtang, why did you run outside?”

    Before he finished speaking, a woman in an apron came out. She looked very young, no more than forty or fifty years old, with a gentle and gentle face.

    “Hey, Jingtang, is this your friend?” The woman first saw Gu Pan standing outside the iron fence, “Hello, I am Xu Jingtang’s mother!”

    Xu, Xu Jingtang’s mother!?

    Gu Pan was actually embarrassed to say that he thought he was Xu Jingtang’s sister at first sight, so he quickly bowed to the elder and said hello: “Hello, aunt… I, I’m here to give Jingtang some clothes and say New Year’s greetings! I wish you a happy New Year, good health, and all the best.”

    Don’t ask Gu Pan why he says this so smoothly. He says it every year. He has been saying it for more than 20 years. Basically, he always says the same thing when meeting people during the Chinese New Year. He has already developed the ability to speak freely.

    “Sending clothes?” The woman then noticed the coat in Xu Jingtang’s hand.

    “Yes… Jingtang lent me his coat before, so I washed it and returned it to him.” Gu Pan immediately came to the truth.

    The woman was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then the smile on her face immediately grew bigger. “It’s not easy to come all the way, so come in and have lunch!”

    “No, no, I just had breakfast, thank you, auntie…” Gu Pan waved his hands repeatedly.

    “Oh, it’s okay!” Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle woman was unexpectedly strong. She opened the iron fence and grabbed Gu Pan’s wrist. “You might as well come in and have a cup of tea. I just bought new cocoa powder! It tastes delicious.”

    Gu Pan glanced at Xu Jingtang subconsciously, as if he wanted to ask for help, but the man had no intention of lending a helping hand to her.

    In the end, Gu Pan was dragged into the house by the woman.

    “By the way, what’s your surname, miss? I don’t know what to call you yet.” The single-family house is not big, and you can basically see the entire entrance to the living room at a glance. It is a small space with a strong sense of life.

    “My, my surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Pan.” At this point, Gu Pan could only bite the bullet and follow the woman inside.

    “Gu Pan, Gu Pan Shenghui, what a good name.” The woman turned back and smiled at Gu Pan, “This name suits you very well.”

    Gu Pan had never felt that his name matched him so much, so he could only smile along with him: “Thank you…”

    “Why is it so noisy?” A male voice sounded, which was somewhat similar to Xu Jingtang’s bass. Gu Pan looked towards the source of the sound and saw the man coming down the stairs.

    The man looked quite calm and confident, with a cold and sharp look in his eyes. Just looking at each other immediately made Gu Pan feel a little scared.

    It’s that feeling of feeling guilty even though you’ve done nothing wrong…

    “This is Jingtang’s friend, Miss Gu, who came all the way to return Jingtang’s things today.” The woman was completely accustomed to the man’s expression, and her tone not only did not change at all, but even became a little playful: “So I am going to make some hot cocoa to entertain the guests. Wensi, would you like some?”

    “I’d rather drink Longjing.” Xu Wensi took two steps forward, crossed over from Gu Pan and placed the thick book he was holding on the coffee table, then turned back to look at Gu Pan, “Is that Miss Gu?”

    For some reason, Gu Pan seemed to have regained the awkward feeling he felt when he met Xu Jingtang for the first time, and nodded: “Yes…Hello, uncle.”

    Even his tone was not as energetic as when he was talking to the woman just now, and he sounded cautious.

    “I am Xu Jingtang’s father, Xu Wensi.” Xu Wensi’s eyes were cold as he spoke, “This is the first time we met, Xu Jingtang is under your care.”

    Gu Pan quickly nodded and bowed, “No such thing…it’s because Jingtang took care of me a lot…”

    Facing people like Xu Wensi, people always become cautious unconsciously.

    And Xu Jingtang seemed to have been used to all this for a long time, standing aside and listening to the two of them chatting.

    After the greetings, Gu Pan realized belatedly that Xu Wensi actually called his son by his full name. He was really a…serious person!

    The doubts I had at first about ‘how could my son be so serious when my mother is so gentle’ were now completely answered by Xu Wensi.

    “Miss Gu, please take a seat. I’m sorry to bother you.” Xu Wensi’s expressionless look was basically exactly the same as Xu Jingtang’s, and even the tone of his voice was not much different.

    “No, no, it was me who was causing trouble to Jingtang…” Gu Pan sat down carefully, only half-sit down because he was too nervous.

    “How old is Miss Gu this year?”

    Regarding Xu Wensi’s sudden question, Gu Pan was stunned and replied: “Twenty-four years old…”

    Hearing this, Xu Wensi frowned and glanced at Xu Jingtang.

    Xu Jingtang returned his father’s indifferent look.

    “Twenty-four, so young!” The woman came over with a tray and distributed the cups on it in front of everyone, “She must have just graduated from college!”

    “Well… I just graduated about two years ago.” Although Gu Pan didn’t know why the two elders wanted to ask about his age, he still answered first.

    “I can tell.” The woman winked at Gu Pan, “Although she is very young, she is also very cute.”

    Is this, is this being praised?

    “Auntie, you are too polite…” Gu Pan was a little embarrassed to be looked at by such a gentle beauty, and was timid to speak.

    Only then did Gu Pan realize that he seemed to be surrounded by the three members of the Xu family without even realizing it…

    An inexplicable sense of tension suddenly came over, causing all the blood in Gu Pan’s body to surge up to his head unconsciously.

    Gu Pan’s blush immediately made the woman laugh: “Miss Gu, I really feel that I have a special affinity with you. Let’s stay here for lunch today, okay?”

    Gu Pan actually didn’t want to stay, so he glanced at Xu Jingtang, hoping that he could help him out.

    As a result, the man glanced at her and opened his lips slightly:

    “I’ll take you back after dinner.”
