"This is your home, too." Jiang Jing took her hand and led her inside.
Jiang Dad and Jiang Mom were just about to have lunch. When they saw the couple come back, they were surprised, but very warm and welcoming.
"Xiaojing, you didn't let us know you were coming." Jiang Mom looked at Jiang Jing with gentle reproach, then warmly pulled Gu Mingzhu over and said, "Mingzhu, I'll have Auntie add a few dishes. It's so hot outside, isn't it? Have some watermelon to fill your stomach first."
Jiang Mom was incredibly warm to Gu Mingzhu—she was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"Mom, we decided to come at the last moment." Gu Mingzhu replied with a bright smile; she was very good at pleasing her mother-in-law. In the midst of their chatting, Gu Mingzhu had already explained Zhao Xiu's situation.
Gu Mingzhu spoke skillfully, downplaying Zhao Xiu's act of saving her, but highlighting her own generosity.
Even Jiang Jing, hearing Mingzhu's words, had nothing to add.
